Beyond the Mirror (A Persona Story) - Fan Game [VAs needed for Personas + 1]
Project Overview
[COPIED PROJECT FOR SEARCHABILITY]
Beyond the Mirror is a big AU I have developed for the Persona series. While I am working on the fanfic form of the story, I'm hoping to make a game form of it as well. I'm still learning the mechanics and stuff for what I am using (RPG Maker MV) as well as making sure I purchase any additional tools/plugins so I can give the sense of it having Persona-esque mechanics... But at the end of the day, this is just for fun. The end result will be for free.
I will also open roles for an Artist and Music Composer for game engine related matters but you don't have to worry about missing the deadline. When the project opens again (most likely multiple time for different reasons), the roles will always be available. You are also free to contact me outside of this.
Details behind the story will be given in private so that everyone has a sense of what's going on for both plot and mechanics.
I don't have a job or any form of income so budgets are impossible for me to provide. I hope that doesn't stop you from considering this project and/or sharing it around.

Latest Updates

I just realized that I needed to have this role added. Anyway, here we go!
-
The first demo has been release!
For anyone following the project by the audition page, I have good news! There is a demo available for the game right now! So far, this is just the battle system with a bit of flavor added to it. However, I don't want to give the demo link directly... You'll have to join the dev server to get the link and any future demos. It's just as a precaution to avoid anything bad alongside providing any interest checks. -

Searchable once again!
With new roles added, I didn't want to let anything collect dust. So here we are again!
Aiko Shiomi is the alternate counterpart of the female Orpheus, the initial persona of Kotone Shiomi. While not present in the actual events of the story due to having died months before, she will be appearing in any flashbacks related to Otoji; her boyfriend. In life, she was often Otoji's duet partner with him playing the instruments and her singing along. She was cheerful at heart; being the light in her boyfriend's life. It's your call if you wanna try to go for how Laura Bailey performed (English) or how Marina Inoue performed (Japanese).
You're also gonna be voicing Fempheus, too, during Mirror Link events.
This is also a singing role.
[As Fempheus, appearing before Otoji.] (Your voice is firm and clear...) It was an unfortunate fate; one that left me with you as my only option. Tell me, Mirror; will you accept my power for her sake?
[As Aiko, in a flashback.] (You're singing a portion of Brand New Days. Feel free to make translated lyrics if you would like.)
[As Aiko, in a flashback.] (Put in a few cheerful laughs.) I'm here! I'm here, Otoji! Wait for me!
The initial persona of Otoji Arisato and the alternate of Makoto Yuki. There's not much else to say except that he shares Makoto's voice. You're free to do an impression of either the English side or the Japanese side. Extra voice effects are allowed, too.
Your work here will be needed for more than just Messiah, though. [Wink.]
[This is the Awakening Phrase.]
I am thou... Thou art I...From thine looking-glass,
I rise...I am Messiah...
Thine Reflection of Life.[Mirror Link rank up.] ...I remember more...
[Critical Hit/Weakness Hit] ...This is your grave...
I can't have a Mirror for Orpheus (F) without including a Mirror for Kotone, right? Same basis of sharing her voice. Voice effects are welcome as long as I can hear the lines themselves clearly.
[Persona Awakening Phrase]
I am thou... Thou art I...
From thine memory,
I cometh...I am Messiah Venus...
Thine Reflection of Possibilities.[Mirror Link rank up.] Another memory? How nice!
[Critical Hit/Weakness Hit] Hyaaa!
The initial persona of Naruaki Seta and the alternate of Yu Narukami. There's not much else to say except that he shares Yu's voice. You're free to do an impression of either the English side or the Japanese side. Extra voice effects are allowed, too.
There will be more than just Seeker for this voice... [Wink.]
[Persona Awakening Phrase]
I am thou... Thou art I...
Thou art revealed to Truth
hidden in thine unhindered sight.I am Seeker...
Thine Reflection of Clarity![Mirror Link rank up.] I see... A new memory...
[Critical Hit/Weakness Hit] This is our power!
The initial persona of Hato Kurusu and the alternate of Ren Amamiya. There isn't much to give outside of sharing Ren's voice. Feel free to use either the English VA or Japanese VA as a base reference for impressions... Voice effects are allowed!
There's more than Phantom here for this role... [Wink.]
[Persona Awakening Phrase]
I am thou; thou art I...!
Thou shalt be emancipated from thine inner prison...
Call upon my name and liberate thineself!I am Phantom;
Thine Reflection of Freedom![Mirror Link rank up.] A new memory... I see now.
[Critical Hit/Weakness Hit] You're mine!
With RPG Maker being RPG Maker, spritework is gonna be needed for various items like for the walking animations on the maps and the side-view battle sprites. This will be for the various actors and enemies alike.
Say something you think would fit
For things like Navigator Log images, facial/bust images for message events, critical cut-ins, the like. Concepts are welcome for suggesting things like persona designs and enemy designs.

Persona isn't Persona without it's stylish music. Since this is a fan game that has connections to P3, P4, and P5, with some hints from P1 and the P2 duology, you're allowed to make some sort of twist on the genres from each game and perhaps make mashups of the already given songs in them.
Say something you think would fit
A Persona OST isn't one without those songs with vocals. You will be working with the music composers to create original tracks for the fangame alongside any mashups of tracks from the main games. A high quality mic and little-to-no background noise is absolutely vital for this.
If you need any of the given tracks from the Audition Lines, here they are.
Sing a portion of "Burn My Dread".
Sing a portion of "Shadow World".
Sing a portion of "Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There".
Let's face it, Lotus Juice is a Persona staple in terms of the music there is. With the concept/plan I have for the fangame OST to have mashups of the original tracks, there's bound to be rap lyrics included. However, considering that the story concept is, at the roots, a swap AU, I'm twisting it up a bit.
I want a female rapper.
Like the singer role, you will be working with the music composer(s) for the fangame OST tracks. For your auditions, you're free to include a backing track for the portions I give you. A high quality mic and little-to-no background noise is a big must alongside having great control of your voice. This is rapping, after all; it'll be hard if you often twist your tongue.
If you need references to the tracks I give you in Audition Lines, here they are.
Rap a portion of "Unbreakable Tie".
Rap a portion of "Mass Destruction".
Rap a portion of "Light the Fire Up in the Night".
