From Post-Self

Point of view characters

Codrin Bălan

Nonbinary DMAB, has leaned more feminine, Romanian, very thoughtful and calm, which is often a front for confusion or getting lost in eir thoughts or in autistic hyperfixation.

Tycho Brahe

Cis man, Cascadian, in way over his head, anxious, but still a huge nerd

Ioan Bălan

Nonbinary DMAB, Romanian, very thoughtful and calm, which is often a front for confusion or getting lost in eir thoughts or in autistic hyperfixation.

AwDae

Nonbinary DMAB, central US (Coloradoish), dreamy, distant

Major characters

Dear

Nonbinary, it/its, American, is described as "speaking in italics" (which I have rendered before by pitching up the recording 4% and adding just a touch more reverb, but totally up to you). Snarky, quick-witted, posh. Enunciates clearly and deliberately, as it's based off Michelle/Sasha.

Sarah Genet

Cis woman, French Canadian/First Nations, older, calm, empathetic, very therapist.

True Name

Cis woman, presents different in the three different settings:

  • On Castor: calm, confident, competent, professional but friendly, enunciates clearly and deliberately
  • On Artemis: exhausted, determined to keep it together, she do she best
  • On Lagrange: overworked, frazzled, anxious, maybe a little afraid, but doing her best to remain in control and stay professional — usually, she succeeds

Turun Ka/Turun Ko

Post-biological aliens, voices described as mellifluous, almost musical, calm, inscrutable, enigmatic

Iska

Alien, small, speech is clipped and quick.

Stolon

Alien, nerdy, jittery, was apparently too distracted by being a nerd to learn English all that well

Artante Diria

Cis woman, alien, a lot of the same qualities of Sarah Genet

May Then My Name

Cis woman, personal, romantic, soft, maybe a little cute, everyone falls a little in love with her. Enunciates clearly and deliberately etc. etc.

Answers Will Not Help

Cis woman, presents different in two different settings:

  • On Castor: always sounds like she's smirking, kind of an asshole actually, enunciates clearly and deliberately, etc.
  • On Artemis: exhausted, terrified, barely able to hold it together

Other characters

Dear and Codrin's partner

Totally up to the VA. Technically, they are the reader, as their character is the player character in a bit of interactive fiction.

Why Ask Questions

Cis woman, perilously friendly, quick to laugh. Enunciates clearly/deliberately

End Waking

Cis man, quiet, calm, enunciates clearly and deliberately

A Finger Pointing

Cis woman, dramatic, lilting, very theatre teacher. Enunciates clearly and deliberately

Debarre

Cis man, snarky, moody

Douglas Hadje

Cis man, nerdy, emotional

Jonas Anderson

Cis man, less smarmy now, just kind of a slick guy who is not as much of a politician

Sorina Bălan

Cis woman, Romanian, rather like Codrin
