Dismay (Danganronpa-Esque Fan Project)

Project Overview

This project is not very far in development. We are still working on things here, but it's very slow, especially without animators and certain artists. If there are any updates, I'll post them to my Discord server, which is linked below.

This is a work-in-progress Danganronpa-like fanmade project. Follow if you'd like to keep up with this project's progress.

VOICE ACTORS: Audition lines will change when necessary. Be sure to resubmit auditions if and when you notice changes.


A new year was about to start at Mirai University: the most prestigious university in the country, maybe even in the world. Students in this school don't choose their majors; they are accepted with a certain talent, or skill, of theirs. These students are called "supremes" because they graduated high school as the best at their particular skill at a high school level. After moving into their residence halls, the returning students and new freshman class were ready to face their new lives at this prestigious school, until something odd happened.

After waking up alone, Akarui Yami discovers she's already on the university's campus, except something's off: nobody's around. She meets 15 other freshmen, all in the same boat as her. They all congregate in accordance with the directions they were given while they were asleep. During this meeting, they discover they are trapped on campus and can only leave if they successfully pull off the perfect murder.

Oishi Niku

Unpaid

Ultimate Exotic Foodie (Oh-ee-she Nee-koo)

Pitch: Medium-low     PROFANITY REQUIRED

Niku is an extremely sociable person, a people person. She loves meeting new friends probably as much as she loves scarfing down a newly discovered cut of meat. As the only American-raised student of the group, her mannerisms and speech are considered strange to the others. She typically serves as the "mom friend," making sure that her loved ones are safe, happy, and, more importantly, and well-fed.

Voice hint: She's an American country girl, so a sweet "southern belle" voice would fit her well.

  • "Oishi Niku, Supreme Foodie. Mama raised an independent woman who can make her own damn meals."

  • (Down) "What I wouldn't give for a deer burger right about now."

  • (Irritated) "Y'all got anything better to say? Good, now shut your traps."

Kojin Reijou
open
Unpaid

Supreme Lawyer (Koh-jean Ray-joe)

Pitch: Low to medium-low     Slight profanity required

Reijou is a very serious person overall. She'll hardly go along with any kind of joke or prank, and will almost never shoot for any goal that doesn't have an outcome that will give her any clear benefit. She's typically very calm, cool, and collected in everyday life, but her confidence/cockiness shoots up when she's in court. She's as analytical as Togami and as justice-seeking as Kirigiri. Think of her in daily life like Lana Skye and in trials as Franziska von Karma from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. (Feel free to add a different accent if you like.)

A preference for her voice would be a serious, feminine alto, like that of Amy Walker: https://youtu.be/1T1jIgNOxzQ 

  • "I am Kojin Reijou. Do not give me any ridiculous nicknames."

  • (Calmly) "I've studied many cases taking place around the world. I have assisted some of the finest attorneys with bringing some of the world's worst criminals to justice. I will find an exit."

  • (Accusing) "It's very simple: admit to your crime, and this will all be over."

Tenpo Rizumu
open
Unpaid

Supreme Deejay (Ten-poe Ree-zoo-moo)

Pitch: Medium-low     PROFANITY REQUIRED

Rizumu really lacks a filter. He doesn't care much about saving face with people, so he's constantly speaking his mind, no matter how heartless he may sound. He isn't very fond of many things, but he's the type to be all-in or completely uninvolved. It's hard to get him interested when something just isn't his forte, which makes it tough for others to like him. His default setting is bored and annoyed, but once he gets going on something, he really gets going and there's no stopping him. He's the type to not jump off a bridge because others are doing it, but just to spite someone.

He's generally very dismissive and sarcastic. Go for something smoky, but overall fairly toneless. (He won't be completely toneless in each appearance, this is only for a better audition.)

  • (Annoyed) "Would you like a foot up your ass, or do you wanna save both our energy and do something productive?"

  • (Angrily) "Either crawl back under the bridge where you live like the gross little troll you are, or stick a needle in each of your eardrums to feel the same pain I do when you talk."

  • [Hum a song of your choice] "Huh?" (Flustered) "Uh... what do you want?"

Sosei Suru
open
Unpaid

Supreme Seamstress (So-say Soo-roo)

Pitch: High & soft     Mild profanity required

Suru is a very softspoken girl. Though she's the quiet type, she has a lot of useful things to say, but she believes others don't think so. Suru's very easily anxious, and it takes a lot to calm her down when she's afraid. After the killing game is announced, she'll be in a constant state of panic unless she's accompanied by someone who's widely trusted.

A relative Mikan Tsumiki would be alright, but really any voice you'd use to describe a "smol" is best.

  • "I'm Sosei Suru... Supreme Seam- sorry, I messed up, um..."

  • (Excitedly) "Of course I'll stitch it up! All I need is a needle and thread!" 

  • (Afraid, shakily) "Stop it. I'd never hurt anyone."

Akarui Yami
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: VampireBre

Supreme Witness ~Main Protagonist~ (Ah-kah-roo-ee Yah-mee)

Yami is a timid, soft-spoken girl who's usually known to just mind her own business until she's drawn in with no escape. She doesn't like a lot of attention, so she'll often step away from large groups and duck her face into her sweater to block out the world. She earned the title of "supreme witness" by being the main witness to bring criminals to justice in many large trials. She's never really seen being a witness as a talent, but as a side-effect to awful luck, along with a good eye and decent memory.

As the lead protagonist, she'll be the audience's point of view and voice. She should have a very soft yet natural voice. It's very important that her voice stays consistent, yet that her feelings are clear through her tone.

  • (Drowsy) "This looks familiar... somehow. Isn't this Mirai University? I don't remember getting settled just yet." (Suddenly realizing she zoned out, stuttering) "I'm sorry! My name is Akarui Yami.. I was accepted into M.U. as the supreme-" (Drift off toward the end)

  • (Hurt) "Ow!" (Forcing back tears) "What kind of a joke was that?"

  • (Nervous) "Take your time remembering, really! I'm gonna go meet some new people."

Role assigned to: UriahRootsVA

Supreme Florist (Coo-sah-tuh Jean-say)

Pitch: Medium-high

Jinsei is not a fan of people. He gets incredibly excited in a greenhouse, or an arboretum, or even when he's taking good care of a houseplant. When he has to put effort into being around people, he's just displeased, but when they ask him about anything involving foliage or flowers, it sparks excitement in him.

(Imagining a voice more like Korekiyo mixed with a bit of Ouma, a sort of alto voice.)

  • (Annoyed) "Stay away from me! You'll ruin my green thumbs."

  • "The language of the flowers is complicated but simple. There is a general plant language. Flowers only speak in a specific dialect."

  • (Standoff-ish) "Gardening isn't only for girls."

Role assigned to: VidEspinoza

Supreme Decorator (Ee-meh-gee Non-peck-ee-nuh)

Pitch: Medium-high

Nani is all about aesthetics. He often dreams of recreating the world in his own image to make everything exactly the way he likes it. Once he's made his mind up, he refuses to change anything. Nani will strive to make himself and everyone else his idea of perfect, even if others don't agree with him.

Voice tip: Try to think of Kiji Mitsuba from Nanbaka or Yuga Aoyama from My Hero Academia. Add that level of flamboyancy. Think of him maybe as a mid to low alto, like a "Queer Eye" kind of accent. Here's a good reference video for accent: https://youtu.be/eRoRsYLQvl0 

  • (Shocked, but excited) "Oh goodness, I think I've found my new project! Sweetie, what is your name?"

  • "I am Imeji Nanpekina: the supreme designer! You may call me 'Nani,' because when I'm through with you, that's all you'll be able to say!"

  • (Scheming, excited) "I desperately need your measurements! I will make you utterly delicious in a matter of seconds!"

Role assigned to: MidnightKoi

Supreme Chiropractor (Mah-gare-oo Soo-nah-poo)

Pitch: Low and gravelly

Though it seems like he doesn't Mageru enjoys what he does. He typically does not express joy, happiness, sadness, or fear. 

Sunappu is a large, burly man with an expected deep, smooth voice. He's a Sakura/Nekomaru-type character, so go for a voice like that. Mageru's a man of few words, so he likely won't have many lines.

  • (Blunt, gruff) "Mageru Sunappu. Chiropractor. Come to me to crack your bones."

  • (Sigh) "I won't hurt you. I heal. It's my job."

  • (Annoyed) "Get out of my sight, you pest."

Ninaru Kegawa
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Rachel Heath

Supreme Veterinarian (Nee-nah-roo Keg-ah-wah)

Kegawa is an easily excitable girl who tends to act like a hyperactive puppy, probably because she's typically surrounded by them. She always wears fuzzy ears on her head and paw gloves on her hands, sometimes playing with them as she speaks.

In some of her lines, she'll have occasional "nya"s and "woof"s and other animal/pet noises. She should have a cutesie high-pitched voice, but not as high as Shineko's. If the role for Shineko is filled first, be sure to have a similar, yet distinguishable voice.

  • "Nyanaru Kegawa! I'm the ultimate veterinarian! I just love the sweet little fur babies! I love scale babies and feather babies too!" (Excitedly) "All of the babies!"

  • (Gleefully) "This'll all turn out purrrfectly, I guarantee!"

  • (Hesitantly) "I could help... maybe." (Dejected) "People aren't built like doggies, though."

Suteji Kara

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Gone

Ultimate Comedian (Soo-tay-jee Kah-ruh)

Tone: Medium

Kara is a bit of an anti-comedy comedian. He's very popular amongst businessmen and businesswomen who don't have decent social lives so they don't quite grasp comedy. He's considered to have very edgy comedy, even though it's more raunchy and prankey than most people prefer.

Voice hint: Try to sound like a classic open-mic comedy club volunteer. He's supposed to be a sort of unfunny comedian. A kind of Leafyishere or Quackity-type voice would definitely be preferred. Reference video: https://youtu.be/f--yOQ29icA

  • (Excitedly) "What's the difference between a hooker and a drug dealer? A hooker can wash her crack and sell it again!"

  • (Goofy) "C'mon, it's just a joke! A jokey joke! Didn't mean any harm by it!"

  • (Serious) "That's not funny. I know funny. That's not what that is. What that is is unfunny..." (Confused) "Wait, what?"

Role assigned to: SuperStatix

Supreme Waiter (Ghee-moo Sue-kai-roo)

Pitch: Medium     Mild profanity required

Friendliness comes very naturally to Tsukaeru. Having worked in food service for half his life, he's developed a skill in being able to get on people's good side. He has a much easier time generally getting along with the others than really anyone else, although he can easily tell when someone's taking advantage of him. He should just sound like a regular, average, friendly guy and should have the most naturally welcoming tone. He's the most "normal" guy here out of all of them.

  • (Surprised) "Ap, ap, ap! Don't touch that!" (Softly, gently) "Sorry, but you were about two centimetres away from ruining everything."

  • (Angrily) "Did you just drop that?" (Happily) *laughs* "Don't worry about it! Where I'm from, that means you're officially a part of the family!"

  • (Comfortingly) "Hey, it's okay! Chin up! We all make mistakes."

Role assigned to: LaylaH

Supreme Fashionista (Geen Shee-row-guh-neigh)

Pitch: Medium-high     Mild profanity required

Shirogane, or "Shiro" as people call her, is extremely proud and can be very eccentric. She believes it isn't like a teen girl to get dirty or get messy, so she does the opposite. She dresses in pink, frilly outfits to match her talent, and acts ditsy and somewhat clueless, even though she's fairly intelligent. Even though she has a tendency to judge people based on their appearances, she's overall very friendly, trying to socialize with everyone and constantly encouraging Yami (MC) to do the same.

Voice hint: A valley girl accent would probably be okay. Just don't make it nearly as strong as Junko Enoshima's.

  • (Cheerful) "Well, I obviously have the best eye for fashion out of the whole group, right? Pastels are in now."

  • (Judging, but friendly) "You're cute, but with a little mascara, you'll be so much cuter!"

  • (Nervous, stuttering) "No, that's not me, I swear! I mean, I don't have an alibi, but..." (Getting frustrated) "Yami, you gotta believe me!" [Yami pronounced "Yah-mee"]

Role assigned to: deleted311712

Supreme Accountant (Kah-zoo Din-tah-coo)

Pitch: Low     Slight profanity may be required

Dentaku can be a bit... uptight. She seems to be in a constant state of annoyed whenever someone so much as looks in her direction in a way she doesn't approve of. She is a smoker, so if you want to make her voice just a bit raspy, that would be fine too. A womanly borderline tenor would be ideal for her pitch, and most of her speech would be very monotone.

  • "Accounting does not only require mathematics. A skilled accountant must also be able to pick up on the simple predictability of people and their spending and saving habits."

  • (Irritated) "Don't you dare mock me. You'll see where that gets you when- (Cocky) if the stock market crashes."

  • (Fed up) "I'll have you know that I dress professionally, not to provoke members of the opposite sex."

Heiwa Shizukesa

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Ryan Pratt

Supreme Therapist (Hey-wah She-zoo-kay-suh)

Pitch: Medium soft     Slight profanity may be required

Shizu consistently finds himself being the voice of reason amongst his peers. He's constantly calming down those around him and everyone loves him for it. Even when he wants to be left alone, people constantly feel drawn to him to have someone to feel better. Not everything he says is reassuring, but people tend to feel comfort from his voice and tone. He accepts his therapeutic talent, but his true goal is to make the world more peaceful to enjoy for himself.

Try sounding like you're comforting a friend after a breakup or a dog running away with nearly every phrase, even if it's while he's annoyed. We're looking for a pretty ASMR-like voice. If you're unsure of what that is, here are a couple of examples (not for inflection, but tone): 

  • "I am Heiwa Shizukesa, the Supreme Therapist. You may now rely on me to help you ease your mind."

  • (Soft, tranquil) "Everyone calm down. This cannot possibly be an actual trap. If so, would we have been told this information in such a nonchalant manner?"

  • (Slightly irritated, but calm) "Hold my hand if you must, but please stop shaking."

Supreme Skateboarder (Bah-rahn-soo Moe-cooz-eye)

Pitch: Medium     HEAVY PROFANITY REQUIRED

Mokuzai is the bro of the group. He's pretty laid back when times are alright but can be easily thrown into a state of extreme panic once he feels like his life is in danger. He does a lot of flirting too, and not just with girls (occasionally throwing in a good "no homo"). While being overall carefree, he can get a little hotheaded. Once his trust is lost, it's hard to get back.

He isn't quite a Yasuhiro Hagakure, but he should have the most chill, bro, stereotypical stoner voice.

  • "Looks like you dropped something. It's your standards. Hey, I'm Baransu Mokuzai~"

  • (Panicking) "You freakin' kiddin' me? I don't wanna stay here forever! I gotta be free!"

  • (Cocky, flirting) "Sup, babe? Want a good time?"

Role assigned to: Silentecho

Supreme Sharpshooter (Sheer-ee-oh-coo)

Pitch: Medium-low, soft     [Profanity-free role]

Shiryoku is a bit of a mystery. When it comes to any kind of projectile and most weaponry, she can provide endless wisdom, but she heavily lacks experience in social interaction. She seems visually intimidating, but she's really a sweet, innocent, socially inept sweetheart.

Whoever decides to voice her should keep in mind that she can be serious, but become very easily flustered. Shiryoku may look on the surface like someone to be intimidated by, but her voice shouldn't be threatening at all. I imagine her tone as very similar to Lauren's: https://youtu.be/oocsDBdzDmY

  • "I'm afraid that my birth name is classified information. Please address me as Shiryoku."

  • (Slightly dejected) "I'm afraid I cannot attack them. While I'm decent with a rifle, I fail at hand-to-hand combat."

  • (Flustered, lamenting) "I wish I was there at the scene of he crime. I could've stopped her. I'm... so sorry!"

(Say-koht-soo-ee-noo)

Tone: High

Seikatsuinu, or Inu for short, represents a strong and happy life. He is a white Shiba Inu who watches over the students, making sure they eat well, exercise, and basically assures that they're living healthy lifestyles while trapped on campus. He basically works as the Usami, trying to convince the students to ignore the killing game and just get along with one another.


  • (Pleasant) "Good morning, everyone! I hope your beds felt as you were being kissed by a million angels throughout the night."

  • (Pouting) "Just like my little sister to go around all sneaky-like, disturbing the peace."

  • (Timid) "Sister, please. I think that's quite enough."

Shineko

(Shih-neck-oh)

Shineko, or Neko for short, represents death. She is a sadistic stuffed cat who enjoys seeing the suffering of the students. She and Inu watch over and manage trials, making sure that nobody gets too rowdy or out-of-line. She works as basically the despair side of Monokuma, making the students want to slaughter one another.

  • "You met my boring big brother. I'm Shineko: the kitten who's gonna make your life a little more fun."

  • (Triumphantly) "On your knees, peasant! Bow to the greatest and cutest kitty!"

  • (Demanding) "Shush, I've made the game much more playable and you know it!" (Coyly) "Don't be jelly."
