"Memento Mori. Memento Vivere. Remember you will die, Remember to live."
An English fandub of the Persona 3 manga, illustrated by Shuji Sogabe. It is based on the JRPG of the same name, developed by ATLUS in 2006 for the Playstation 2.
The story follows Minato Arisato and the members of SEES as they investigate the Dark Hour, a phenomenon that occurs every midnight hidden between one day and the next. SEES eliminates Shadows, hostile creatures that lurk during the Dark Hour, using the power of Persona, a manifestation of one's true self.
RULES AND NOTES:Persona 3 touches on some sensitive topics such as depression and self-harm. Please make sure you are comfortable with these before auditioning. Additionally, you must be at least 15 years old in order to audition.
We will mainly be using Discord to organize our activities. After all current roles are casted, a link will be posted in the Project DMs including the server link. Please make sure you have a Discord account.
While mimicking the original character voices is recommended, it's not required! Feel free to have fun with the character and voice them as you see fit.
Not all characters are listed; only the ones seen in Book 1 are currently listed. Most likely, we will add more characters in the future or have voice actors cast into minor roles.
THIS PROJECT WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS!! This applies to some audition lines as well, though they lack context and have been added purely for an auditioner to show range. Please make sure you are okay with spoilers or know the story before auditioning.
Hello everyone! Auditions are now closed. Thank you very much for auditioning! I loved hearing everyone's takes on each character.
Eggu and I have been working hard to narrow down our candidates, and we will try to finalize our cast by tonight.
If you get casted, please check the project DMs for the Discord server link.
Best of luck to everyone!!
Hello everyone!
I have just added Isako Toriumi, Minato's homeroom teacher, to the list of characters currently accepting auditions, as I had forgotten to include her originally. If you'd like to audition for her, feel free to do so.
Good luck!
Main character. A second-year at Gekkoukan High School and leader of SEES. Quiet and reserved, he doesn't speak much.
Voice references: Yuri Lowenthal (Original), Aleks Le (Reload)
It's a full moon, huh? It's awfully big... I woke up from the noise. What is it?
There was no pain. For a moment, I feel an infinite distance. I feel like everything in front of me is already in the past. Am I going to die like this? In this place... where I lost my parents, that day... to Shadows, enemies of humanity... Damn... I didn't think I'd be coming here again. Both the landscape and I gradually shifted shape... into something I could no longer recognize.
A second-year at Gekkoukan High School and member of SEES. Member of the archery club and is popular among her peers. Cheerful, but easily annoyed at times.
Voice references: Michelle Ruff (Original), Heather Gonzalez (Reload)
This is it. Pretty easy to remember, since it's right at the end of the hall. Um... I want to ask you something. On the way here from the station, was everything okay? You probably saw some... weird things last night. Don't tell anyone about them, okay?
(panicked) Are you kidding!? It's going to attack us here!? I have to protect Arisato-kun, but... my hand won't stop shaking... it can't move!
A second-year at Gekkoukan High School and member of SEES. Playful and upbeat, he considers himself to be a ladies' man.
Voice references: Vic Mignogna (Original), Zeno Robinson (Reload)
Sup, transfer student! Hey! Don't look so surprised! I'm Junpei Iori. Just Junpei is fine. I transferred here too, in 8th grade. I know how tough it is bein' the new kid, so I wanted to say "hey". See what a nice guy I am?
(serious) So, Tartarus and the Dark Hour will be gone. That's good. That's what we've been fighting for. So why am I so pissed?! *sigh* I know why. I'M the reason. I was like "Fighting is my duty". But hell, it's all I'm good for. If it weren't for that, I'd be worthless.
A third-year at Gekkoukan High School and member of SEES. The student council president and heir to the Kirijo Group, she is mature and elegant.
Voice references: Tara Platt (Original), Allegra Clark (Reload)
I didn't think you'd arrive so late. My name is Mitsuru Kirijo. I'm one of the students living in this dorm. This is Yukari Takeba. She'll be a junior this spring, just like you.
Didn't you see the newspaper? There's a lot going on out there. Perfectly normal people suddenly developing acute cases of apathy syndrome to the point of not speaking... And it's been spreading. The news has claimed it's related to stress. (worried) Honestly, Akihiko... this isn't a game.
A third-year at Gekkoukan High School and member of SEES. Captain of the boxing team and a champion in the sport. Serious and passionate.
Voice references: Liam O'Brien (Original), Alejandro Saab (Reload)
I found a big one! I've never seen anything like it! Sorry, but it's chasing me. I wanted to warn you. Agh! There's worse than this coming. You're in for a surprise.
(sad, pained) I thought if I was strong enough... I could protect anyone... But I was wrong. And now you're gone too. God, it's like the world is laughing at me... I knew what we were getting into... I knew we were putting our lives on the line! But I was so focused on fighting that I didn't see anything else... It doesn't matter how strong I was! Look what happened!
A second-year at Gekkoukan High School and member of SEES. Good with computers and assists the team off the battlefield with her ability to scan the weaknesses of Shadows. Kind and timid.
Voice references: Wendee Lee (P4A-P3D), Suzie Yeung (Reload)
(worried) Who's there...? Are you... human? (relieved) Thank you so much... I... Sorry, I'm just so relieved. *pause* What is this place? One second I was at school, and then...
Sorry, I know you probably aren't very hungry at this hour. But, um, I'd be happy if you'd maybe give it a taste if that's okay. I used vinegar as a base for relieving fatigue, and then added a bunch of citrus. You know, just some simple, light flavors.
Member of SEES. A robot designed to fight against the Shadows.
Voice references: Karen Strassman (Original), Dawn M. Bennett (Reload)
(robotic, lacking emotion) I am Aigis, the last of the Anti-Shadow suppression weapons. Preparing to eliminate all hostile targets.
(with more emotion) You don't have to save the world to find meaning in life... Sometimes all you need is something simple, like someone to take care of. I'll keep on living no matter what, so that I can protect you...
A student at Gekkoukan Elementary School and member of SEES. Although young, he is intelligent and mature for his age.
Voice references: Cindy Robinson (P4A-P3D), Justine Lee (Reload)
Oh, Arisato-san. Can I help you? You aren't... worried about me, are you? If so, thank you, but I'm totally fine. You're really caring, Arisato-san. Thanks for going out of your way to check on me. I'll try my best not to worry you.
(serious) Since then, not one good thing has happened... just being alive is torture. And all I get from people is sympathy, no matter where I go. What's the point of living like this? I've even thought about killing myself, but... I wouldn't be able to face Mom like that.
Member of SEES. Has a cold and serious exterior. Has no lines in Book 1.
Voice references: Grant George (Original), Justice Slocum (Reload)
Those girls who wound up in the hospital were here talkin' shit every night. They'd brag about all the stuff they did to some girl named Yamagishi. That's why people were sayin' it's Yamagishi's ghost that did it. Anyways, that's all I know. We done here?
(solemnly) You're right... I wanted to forget. But nothing I did could erase the memory... And now I find myself here—the last place I want to be.
A mysterious boy who periodically appears in Minato's room.
Voice references: Yuri Lowenthal (Original), Aleks Le (Reload)
You're late. I've been waiting a long time for you. Now if you want to proceed... sign your name there. Don't be afraid, it's just a contract. All it says is that from here on out, you'll accept full responsibility for your decisions. You know, the usual stuff. No one can escape time. It delivers us all to the same end. You can't plug your ears and cover your eyes. And so... it begins.
Board chairman at Gekkoukan High School and advisor of SEES. Enjoys cracking bad jokes and puns.
Voice references: Dan Woren (Original), Jake Green (Reload)
My name is Shuji Ikutsuki. I'm the chairman of the board for your school. I-KU-tsuki. Rather hard to say, isn't it? That's why I don't like introducing myself... You must be tired having just transferred in. You should go to bed early. As they say, "the early bird catches the bookworm"... Just kidding!
(serious) As we can see, he hasn't been transmogrified. He's sleeping, but right now, he's experiencing the Dark Hour. All that's left is to see if he has the "potential". Or perhaps I should say, he MUST have it... If he didn't have it, he would have become their prey by now.
Sometimes laid-back, sometimes stern, she is a composition teacher at Gekkoukan High School. Also Minato's homeroom teacher.
Voice references: Valerie Arem (Original), Katelyn Gault (Reload)
Oh, are you the new student? Minato Arisato... You're a second-year, correct? Wow, you've lived in a lot of different places. Let's see... Ten years ago, your parents— I'm sorry... I've been so busy, I didn't have time to read this beforehand. I'm Ms. Toriumi. I teach Composition. Welcome to our school.
Alright everyone, we have yet another new transfer in 2F. (surprised) This is our third one this year! Do you call this a hat trick?
Master of the Velvet Room, a place that exists between dreams and reality. Guides Minato in honing his powers.
Voice references: Kirk Thornton (Reload)
Welcome to the Velvet Room. My name is Igor. I am delighted to make your acquaintance. This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter. It's been years since we had a guest. Only those who have signed the contract can enter this place. Honored guest... you are destined to hone your unique ability, and you will require my help to do so. I only ask for one thing in return: That you abide by the contract, and assume responsibility for the choices you make.
