Mood: Bewildered, On Guard, A Little Tense, Unpredictability, Chaos, Genre: Gnu-Metal, Emo Rock, Rap and Glitch-hop! Naoki is sixteen years old; male teen vocal, Make sure to let the Demon Turkey have room for his morbid comedy moments as well as his own fowl-mouthed attitude dialogue! Ensure the Glitch-hop elements (stutters, bit-crushed snare hits) trigger whenever the Turkey gets aggressive, while the Emo Rock guitars swell when Naoki gets defensive, The Turkey's "Vibe": He should sound like he’s been living inside a studio—gritty, cynical, and completely unimpressed by Noaki unless he can help him
