(Basil) “Oh, my name is Basil Krasnoff. You know me as Felix Addams, though, Little Fox.”
(Basil) “To gun down so many people without hesitation, to blow up another student… I have my doubts that this was your first time killing. Of course, I may just be projecting a bit there.”

Gorou Harada would disagree, A web phenomenon that sprang up overnight Gorou Harada has entered the world of daredevilish Wall climbs, Building jumps, extreme obstacles.

The name “Jack Kawamugi” has been on the papers since year one of his school experience, making small ledgers of recent events for his elementary school class. He only rose to prominence in middle school, but his rise was a rapid one. He became a national curiosity briefly when he became the editor-in-chief of his school’s newspaper only three months into his first year there, and decided to turn the paper into a for-profit club to market to the school’s surrounding community. The interesting decision was spread about national news for a few weeks, mainly focusing on the success of the endeavor and how the student reporters liked to be covering not only school news, but local news as well. However, even this moderate success would seem flat compared to Jack’s next step.
"I’m Jack Kawamugi, editor of the Togawa Minpo. Well, I guess now, Super High-School Level Editor. Pleased to make your acquaintances.”
“Fine. I’ll admit, he’s probably not in the condition to answer questions right now. God forbid I ever try to make sure that the person confessing actually committed the murder.”
“Let’s start off with something easy. How’d you manage to get a firearm that powerful into a country with gun laws as tight as Japan’s?”
“I got better things to do than having my fingers snapped at by grumpy little fuckfaces. The Name’s Katsuo Sunohara, El Experte of Foreigno Animalos.”
“He was the only thing I had good in this fucking hellscape. Why would I kill him? Y’ think I’m some irredeemable nutcase, do ya? ‘Cause that ain’t it, ladies and germs.“
“You….y-you….little…pink bastard….you piece of bubblegum horseshit!”

Intergalactic Space Prince Mahou Shounen Kuro☆Kometuto (or just Komet to skip the mouthful) is a magical boy intrusted with protecting the Earth from malicious space royalty who wish to rule mankind and beseech the head off His Majesty’s shoulders. The show has everything: glitter, explosions, and wide-eyed cutie in the middle of it all. Millions of fans have watched the child star grow on the screen and explode to a dazzling supernova.
***Komet is later "drops character" and continues as Katashi Hayashibara the actor. Voices should reflect this change.
(komet) “GOODNESS GOLLY GRACIOUS! THIS IS GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN!”
(komet) “You’re so right! Morale is so much more important in a time like this! We’re not gonna despair over this… THIS BEAR! We’re gonna bring back hope and all those pretty smiles we saw today!”
(katashi) “Tell me, class. Does ANYONE look at the credits anymore? I have a name. I’m a person! I’M KATASHI HAYASHIBARA. CALL ME KOMET FROM HERE ON OUT, AND I’LL KILL YOU TOO.”
“Manipulating the course of the trial with evidence they created, huh…”
“Okay. Listen up. I know you’re watching us right now, and probably laughing at us for bumbling around like idiots. I know you’re showin’ all this for the world to see. I know you’re killing off the members of the class that built this place, and I know you’re blackmailing someone into trying to kill the 81st class member hiding among us.”

For the most part, Hime’s pretty secretive about her personal life. She likes to say that she was born from stardust and came to the world to spread her magical voice. She was approximately 13 when she joined a popular video sharing site and released a couple of covers she did of popular anime openings. At the beginning, there was no grand face reveal or avatar that she would use - even her first username has been lost in time! She became pretty popular due to her voice and her ability to change it so she could do duets with herself. After about half a year, something amazing happened! H![redacted], or Hime, had officially debuted, moving away from being just a cover artist to a full fledged virtual diva. She released a music video that now showcased her bright personality and dance moves. Overnight, her subscriber count tripled and she became a hit!
***H![redacted] is later revealed to be the Mastermind of the Killing Game, Otome Ito. Voices should reflect this change.
(H!MECH@N) “This is how people show their love and support for Hime~!! Isn’t that sorta amazing~? All of these works of art were so carefully made with Hime in mind~!!”
(Otome) “Upupupu… I loooove despair… blahblahblah… execute me.”
(Otome) “It kinda goes without saying that you’re absolutely correct… I am the Mastermind behind all of this… But please don’t compare yourself to me Sunohara-san… There’s no need to insult me like that.”

If you’re ever feeling curious to receive a personal horoscope, there’s no one better to go to than Mitsuko Minami, the Super High School Level Astrologer. That’s what everyone will say, at least. Born on March 20th in Furano, the astrologer has gained popularity very quickly and impressively for someone of her age. She was just a young girl living a quiet life in a quiet city who liked to look and observe the skies, yet her perseverance and determination brought her far, making her extremely well known today.
Mitsuko found her interest in astrology after she started attending school. She studied astronomy in class, and felt that she was a natural at the subject. Feeling intrigued, she decided to delve deeper into the topic and began to study astrology on her own. Her career started out with her just posting horoscopes on her own website. Before long, she was approached to write the horoscopes for a local newspaper, and after her horoscopes were published, more and more people became aware of her work. Her horoscopes and predictions were impressively accurate, and people were always coming to her for advice and personal predictions. She wrote for many renowned and popular magazines and other media, such as books, other websites, and more. Online reviewers gushed about how they had never received horoscopes more accurate than hers. Online polls were held, asking people to vote for the astrologers that they believed were the most reliable. Mitsuko won all of them, beating the others by a large margin. Having taken the astrology world by storm, Hope’s Peak Academy took notice of her accomplishments and gave her the title of the SHSL Astrologer.
“It’s a shame, that you don’t know who I am … but I suppose I will forgive you, just this once ~! My name is Mitsuko Minami, and I am the SHSL Astrologer ~”
“You are the poet, yes? I hope you do write about the stars … it’d really be rather disappointing if you don’t, hehe ~!”
“You’ll have to show me those sometime, dear ~ I’m afraid I must take my leave for now. It’s a shame we must cut our lovely conversation short … we simply must chat again some other time, don’t you agree?”

An easygoing, gullible kid whose only goal (besides beating his jump record of 2.30 metres) is to get everyone to like him. In fact, he can’t really handle the idea of anyone disliking him. If you work out with him, you’ll be his best friend.
Scouted by Hope’s Peak Academy during the Japan Championships in Athletics, Ryohei quickly went on to qualify for the national team, competing in a number of recognised track events even internationally. Unfortunately, despite his training, he couldn’t beat the world record of 2.45m. Even so, Hopes Peak Academy scouted him, granting him his title as SHSL High Jumper.
“Kawamugi-san? Kawamugi-san, are you in there…? It’s Ryohei Seijurou! I need to talk to you!! Um… I’m not here to kill you!!!”
“Hey!!! Timo-kun!!!!!!! Do you want to hang out with me!!!!! We can go to the casino!!!!!!!!!!! And win!!!!!!!!!”
“This isn't– this can’t be real, right? You don’t have them, y-you're lying, they’re fine–”

One year ago, an influx of rare autographed merchandise began to flood the online marketplace. Signatures ranging from A-list actors to singers that had been dead for years began to appear from multiple seller’s in Japan, all boasting about how rare the item they were parting with was. Bidding chaos soon broke out, with wars that ended with the high original starting bid doubled, tripled, or often more. A few months after the initial excitement had settled down, it was quickly brought to attention that most, if not all, of these items were fake, and all the signatured had been faked with impeccable quality.
Behind it all was Shozo Yamashita, a high school student with an extreme talent for copying other’s John Hancock. The forged signatures had caused such an outrage that they themselves began to become highly sought after. While not much is known about the teen himself and it’s uncertain whether or not he’s still selling faked signatures, his handiwork managed to spark a global phenomenon.
“Uwaaaaaah~! I can NOT believe it’s really you! Oh em gee, it’s like, suuuuch an honor to meet you, I’m an enormous fan!”
“Well, sure wish I hadn’t seen all that. If anyone needs me, I’ll be, uh, at th'bath, I guess. Yamashita out!”

Stella is a seer who seeks to guide others towards their future, whether it be for good or bad. Her predictions have gathered interest in the fortune-telling community, especially due to their accuracy. She is shrouded by anonymity both online and offline, often seen in a pair of sunglasses, a cloth wrapped around her nose, mouth, and neck, and her hair tied up in a tight bun. All that is known about Stella Ethereal is her gender, her age, and her amethyst crystal ball that she holds in hand.
One of the more known rumors around Stella online is that if you are to make eye contact with her, you will be blessed with good health, wealth, and luck in your future.
“Well, this is going to be interesting, hm? Alright! Well, her name would be Stella Ethereal. It’s a pleasure to… finally see you all, together."
“Fate cannot be altered. Our paths have been set in stone. That is why we will find you.”
“So, Komet, Where did you get those bruises? When you threw down the table and chairs and pinned down Averin? Or when he kept punching you, trying to get you off of him?”

Timothy was born in the town of Ashington, England, to a fairly modest household. From the time he learned how to read and write basic sentences, he was interested in poetry - starting with Seussian rhyme, and growing into Homer and Poe over time. His skills quickly garnered attention from the local news, where he was featured for numerous wins in competitions between his peers, but still, poetry remained a hobby for the first years of his life. However, mere days after his thirteenth birthday, he was contacted by somewhat of a celebrity in the poetry world, Sir Wilfred Francis.
A man mostly known within academic circles, Francis had written over 1000 published works, and was known as the greatest poet in England. He called upon Timothy to be his apprentice, following the boy’s entry into his first national competition. His submission caught the man’s eye, being far beyond that of the other semi-finalist entries that had passed his desk. Under Francis, Timothy gained national fame, with his first collection of poems being published within a larger collection at age fifteen, selling a modest twenty thousand copies. His talent and his acclaim continued to grow, until he received a letter from Hope’s Peak, inviting him to be a student. He talked with his parents, his mentor, and was on a plane only a week later, ready to begin life anew.
“I don’t believe we’ve met, either; though I suppose I need not introduce myself! And you are Ryohei, correct?…it is pronounced Tim-o-thy if you were interested…”
“You expect us to kill again over our careers? We’ve already been faced with a similar threat! It’s not like this is any different…besides - you can’t stop me from writing poetry unless you prevent any and all communication. Good luck…”

Though not one for publicity, Tokuma Terauchi is dedicated to his craft and has a serious passion for making candles suited to all kinds of situations. His candles are often distinctive for their cylindrical shape, which consists of a wide base that grows thinner near the top, though does not come to a point, and their variety of colors and designs carved in to give each one charm and flair. Starting from the age of 12, and only ever improving since then, Tokuma has found himself near the top of a wave of popularity in decorative candles lately.
He is known to be swift in his work, which stretches all across Japan and has even found a place with individuals in other countries who enjoy his creative designs. You might have even noticed on at your local store, if you take a fancy to fun home decorations and wax-burners. Industrious as he is, Tokuma is known to be surprisingly difficult to get into contact with. Having come from a quiet, humble town, he reflects that same quietness and wishes to be allowed to simply do his work in peace.
“Well, I don’t have a laptop, and I’m not a fairy godmother, but would you accept a magical gremlin-brother instead? That’s…basically the same thing, right? I just need to get the whole ‘saving princesses’ thing down first, heh. I could…probably go on quests and everything…”
“Seriously? Are you guys being for real right now? You…You don’t seriously believe I did it, do you?”
“Well, I have hands…Small hands….powerful hands….But I’m pretty sure I didn’t do anything with them, so. I can be ruled out, right? Since we’re doing the whole….ruling people out thing?”
