Never ask a girl if she wants to become a werewolf because she’s always going to say yes because girls love tearing things apart with their teeth and ripping people to shreds with their claws, it’s a foregone conclusion, an immutable fact of our universe really when ya think about it.

Aelius Anatole Radošević De Silva

Anatole has changed a bit as a character since i was around the first time, so he’s getting re introduced. His open to make friends.

art by @elizastarkart

Name: Aelius Anatole Radoševic De Silva. He has two surnames because his mother is latina. He is a mixed Latine-Slav, with family that is all latine, vesuvian, and slavic. People he’s friend’s with call him Anatole (russian/greek pronunciation, he doesn’t acknowledge the French one). Only people he has a strictly professional relationship with, and his uncle call him Aelius.

‘Aelius’ means sun, while ‘Anatole’ means sunrise. He’s fully aware of this, he chose his name himself.

His nicknames are:

  • ‘Nana’ is the most common nickname, and the one most people use.
  • His mother calls him Lilito, Nana, Nanito, Toly, Tolito, Tortolito.
  • His father calls him Lily or Lilu.
  • Toly, Tolytoly or Tolito are nicknames used by his maternal grandmother, his aunt, and his Vesuvian family.
  • He will not mind if you want to call him Toly, but you cannot call him Lily/Lilu if you’re not his father.
  • Asra came up with Nanatole, which he doesn’t like but lets Asra call him anyway. Asra also came up with Nana Banana and that is absolutely forbidden.

Family: on his father’s side both the Radošević, who are slavic (yugoslavic, specifically), and the Cassano, a prominent Vesuvian family who has had a hold of the Consulship for years.

On his mother side, the De Silva.

  • His father’s name is Vladislav, but everyone calls him Vlad, he’s an alchemist, a polymath, and works in what is most similar to biochemical engineering. He has one bother, named Valeriy, who you, however, might now as Valerius. Vlad’s biggest personality trait is being head over heels in love with his wife, and adoring his son more than he thought it was humanly possible to care about someone.
  • His mother’s name is Louisa De Silva (if you want to add her mother’s surname, it’s Lascal). The L-o-u spelling was a registry mistake she never changed. She moved half across the world while her native country suffer a military-civilian dictatorship to study Medicine. She swore never to go back as long as vestiges of said dictatorship remained in the country. She has two sisters: Paris, who lives in Vesuvia, and Alma, who remained with her parents out of her own choosing. Her medical experience include having been a volunteer war doctor. She didn’t change her surname when she got married.
  • The Radošević (pronounced Radozheveech) and the Cassano have been entangled families by friendship for generations upon generations, with some marriages between them. Notoriously: Vlad and Val’s father married a Cassano, Matilda, and his bother Mircea, Anatole’s great uncle, also married a Cassano: Florentino. Mircea’s brother and Matilda Cassano died when Vlad and Val were children still, so him and Florentino brought them up.
  • The Radošević are an overall eccentric family (think the european Addams family), whom are noted for: one, their self-sufficiency/self-preservation, which comes out in a very ‘eccentric people of the world unite’ manner. They appreciate people with character. Two, their leanings towards trades/professions, they do not conceive not doing anything (work hard to play hard). The Cassano, while sharing the quirk, they add the zest for life. It’s like they grabbed the Radošević and told them “you have forgotten how to live and we will remind you how.” Both of them are ridden with racially ambiguous bastard you cannot kill in any way that matters. They simply refuse to. Someone (either the courtiers or Lucio) compared them to roaches, they took it as a compliment.
  • This will tell you a lot about Anatole’s character.
  • On a last note, Anatole’s an only child. He has a good relationship with his parents, albeit marked by a sense of distance, solely because he was privately tutored from age 15 and on, which required him to travel a fair share. He was an argumentative teenager, but always cherished whenever he could see his parents. The older he gets, the closer they all become.

I 100% agree with EVERYTHING Laura Bailey says here, just keep in mind VA’s rarely get anything more than a name & a vague outline of the character & their arc before they’re asked to do the V.O recording. Images of character art are usually done after.

There was actually a strike a few years ago when VO artists wanted to know more about the characters they were voicing to avoid exactly this sort of situation. They did not win that demand.

i dont understand why you wouldn’t tell the VA’s more about who they’re voicing if you want the best possible voice acting for your characters, like, everybody loses.

They don’t tell VA’s about the characters they’re voicing so they can avoid giving them a fair deal on their pay.

At one point - I’ll see if i can find the video - Marisha Ray talked about being booked for a session and her agent negotiating blind for what seemed like a pretty good amount. Marisha went in and found out that she was voicing random storm troopers in Star Wars Battlefront and that what had seemed like a fair deal turned out to be them almost completely ripping her off.  That’s one example of them not paying.

Another reason I’ve heard is so the actor isn’t really given a chance to say no to the gig without having to break a contract that they’d made before hand.

Actors and Actresses have been booked for gigs where they end up voicing prostitutes, racists, etc without being told prior to stepping into the booth. 

This is the case for relatively big voice actors who are well-known and regarded in the industry. I can’t imagine how much more this happens for lesser known VO’s. 

Yeah voice actors are sometimes dropped into roles such as “beloved character we’ve recast because we fired the original actor, the fans will be furious and send you hateful messages, but not us because we’re not big on social media, so have fun!” or “here do some stunts for mocap with insufficient padding and no safety coordinator on set, and you have no health insurance!” or “famous character we’re way underpaying you for because you have no idea what franchise this is for.”     

They were also striking to spread out screaming sessions so they didn’t scream for hours at a time until their throats bled. 

Screen actors have pretty bad protections at best but voice actors have even less than that. The more things blend, the more advanced video games get, the more important this is.
