Obscura:
Murder at the Fantasy Ball
Character Breakdown for Auditions
Please note that the genders and ages listed here are those of the characters, which do not necessarily need to match those of the actors.
🌿The Investigator
30+/M. Confident bon vivant who finds himself leading a murder investigation on what he thought was going to be a nice night off. A veteran in his position with the City Watch, though more of a reasonably competent, methodical follower of procedure rather than any deductive genius.

🌿The Court Physician
Elderly/M. An antique fixture in the Faerie Court, in charge of the health of the royal family (including that of the recently deceased King). Can be found tinkering away in his tower over his assorted potions and powders; will use words like "balderdash" unironically. The type of person who is always muttering to himself.

🌿The Fool
20s/M. High-energy court jester with a pet rat for a best friend. Lighthearted about most things, but has a keen sense of the precarity of his employment status. Don't get him started on the experience of the urban poor under feudalism! Not treated well by the royal family and feels every bit of it.

🌿The Queen
40s/F. Haughty and brittle, though she would argue these are qualities she has cultivated for survival. Self-conscious about her place in the court. Loves her daughters, but you won't get that out of her; it would be a dangerous weakness to express such sentiment in any demonstrative fashion.
