Masculine: Tempus

Masculine, middle-aged, eccentric villain. High-strung, fast-paced delivery with a crisp, pedantic British or Mid-Atlantic accent. Vocal texture is sharp and nasal. Character is defined by manic precision, rhythmic speech patterns, and a breathless, obsessive energy. Performance should oscillate between frantic counting and smug, theatrical superiority.

Script: Three seconds late, and you still dare to smile? Extraordinary. I have measured empires by the tick, the tock, the fatal pause, and somehow you remain my most infuriating delay.
