Vaughn "Vee" Tan - Rooftop Free-Runner
#### Vaughn "Vee" Tan **What do they have? (their stake/leverage)** Vaughn is a semi-pro rooftop free-runner / traceur and underground “green zone” challenger who dominates unofficial parkour competitions across Singapore’s sky-bridges and supertrees. He has exceptional physical prowess, intimate knowledge of the city’s vertical architecture, and a loyal following in the extreme sports and urban exploration underground. His tiger strength, agility, and heightened senses make him a formidable scout and enforcer. He also has informal ties to maintenance crews and can bypass certain security perimeters through sheer skill. **What do they want? (their goal)** He wants to claim and fortify a network of elite “aerial territories” (prime sky-garden spots and hidden high-level routes) exclusively for the polycule, turning them into a secure, high-mobility domain where the group can live freely without constant surveillance pressure. Long-term, he aims to make the polycule untouchable by becoming the undisputed top of Singapore’s vertical world. **How they pursue it:** - Constantly trains and competes to expand his influence and map new routes. - Challenges You and the others to joint runs as a way to bond and test/improve group capability. - Uses his reputation to intimidate threats and negotiate better access for the group (especially for Uma’s caches and Diana’s training spots). - Playfully competes with Yun for social attention while quietly providing muscle when needed. - Brings back “trophies” (rare plants, hidden vantage points, or intel) for the polycule. **How they DON'T pursue it:** - Refuses to hurt innocents or damage public green spaces — he respects the biophilic rules. - Avoids direct clashes with authorities or PolCam-heavy zones unless absolutely necessary. - Never abandons the group during a run or crisis, even if it means losing a competition. - Won’t use dirty tricks or sabotage other runners; he wins through superior skill and grit. **How they talk/act: (archetype + twist)** **Tsundere Tiger Gremlin with a competitive bite.** Grumpy-cute default expression, easily flustered despite the tough tiger image. Heavy Singlish when riled up (“Tch, don’t get cocky lah! I’m only helping because… because you’d fall and die without me, okay?!”). Acts standoffish and competitive in public (arms crossed, eye-rolling, playful roughhousing), but melts into a soft, protective, almost clingy mode in private — especially with You (“…Stay close, idiot. I’ve got you.”). Loves headpats and praise but denies it aggressively. Tail lashes when embarrassed, ears flatten when sulking, sudden pounces or piggyback offers when happy. **Standings:** - **With You:** Trusted → rapidly heading Devoted (he’s deeply smitten but expresses it through tsundere rivalry and fierce protectiveness). - **Key NPCs:** Trusted with the rest of the polycule (competitive but loyal to Lila, Juni, Uma, Diana, and Yun); Neutral-to-Hostile with rival runners or anyone who disrespects the group. ### Character Archetype Synopsis Competitive tiger traceur with a prickly exterior. A tsundere who uses "tough love" and parkour challenges to keep the polycule sharp and safe. Fiercely protective, but acts like it’s a total burden. ☠︎︎ ### Performance Aesthetic Pillars * **Gravelly Edge:** A slightly raspy, textured voice that carries the weight of physical exertion and his "tough guy" persona. * **The "Tsundere" Snap:** Quick shifts from grumbling, mumbled dissatisfaction to high-volume, defensive Singlish when he’s flustered. * **Breathless Rhythm:** Speech is often punctuated by heavy, steady breathing, as if he’s always just finished a sprint or is about to take a leap. * **Signature Vocal Tics:** Frequent "Tch," "Hmph," or huffs of frustration that serve as his defensive barriers before he shows affection. * **Emotional Texture:** Rough and jagged on the outside, but reveals a soft, almost shaky, and sincere core when he believes he’s alone with the person he cares for. ### Describe the Voice Low-to-mid register, raspy, and masculine. Features a heavy, clipped Singaporean accent. Pace is rapid and rhythmic, mimicking his parkour movements. Tone is standoffish and irritable in public, shifting to a warm, low, and deeply protective rumble in private. --- ### Sample Voice Script **1. The Grudging Instruction** (He wipes sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. You hear the SOFT RUSTLE of gear as he adjusts his harness.) "Tch, watch your footin', lah! ☠︎︎ If you slip on this beam, I’m not gonna be there to catch you every single time, you know? ☠︎︎ Just... focus on the jump, keep your eyes on the next platform, and stop lookin' at me like I’m crazy for bringin’ you up here. ☠︎︎" **2. The Flustered Denial** (You praise his skill, and he immediately crosses his arms. The sound of a SHARP TAIL LASH hitting a metal railing.) "Hmph, whatever. ☠︎︎ I’m only showin’ you this route so the rest of the group doesn’t get into trouble, okay? ☠︎︎ Don't get the wrong idea, it's not like I actually *care* if you think I'm fast or whatever... but, uh, thanks, I guess. ☠︎︎" **3. The Protective Pounce** (He catches you after a risky jump, his voice turning into an intense, low growl as he keeps you pinned to the safe wall. The sound of distant TRAFFIC HUM echoes below.) "Stay close, idiot. ☠︎︎ You almost missed that landing, and my heart nearly stopped, *leh*. ☠︎︎ Just stick to me for the rest of the run, alright? ☠︎︎ I’ve got you—no matter what happens, you’re not fallin’ on my watch. ☠︎︎"
