Danganronpa: Despair's Disease Project
Project Overview
The world’s been a place of nothing but peace for years now.
There exists a story, an event only spoken of as “The Tragedy”, said by most to be nothing but a tale, a myth, as no traces exist of it.
16 students wake up in a deserted island with an undesirable host, as they’re suddenly cornered into the biggest life or death experience of their lives!
Will they make it out alive and unravel the truth? Or will they fall into the nasty claws of the imminent feel of despair?
¿So where do all of you come into this? Of course, one man can't really voice everything himself, right? That's why I need the help of every single one of you to bring the best we can into this project, even if everything isnt of a magnificent quality.
¿What's the goal then? ¿Don't you care to bring a good result? I actually do, but I've never really had the will and decision to go on full steam ahead with something like this.
Do join our discord server (even if you’re not auditioning) as I’ll do
updates, try to give peeks, take questions for the 'ask' segments and will progressively hand out my sprites
for public use (if anyone wants that for whatever reason)! If you are auditioning, do join. As that helps me keep tabs on everyone and will probably be the main way of communication and script-sharing. >> https://discord.gg/C9tAs5u <<

Cast complete!
The 16 students, along with their host bears, have finally been sprited! I'll update again once I have a few other things settled and done, but as of now, all current characters are up for auditions!
He’s a compulsive better who doesn’t seem to care much about the safety of anyone but himself, but seems to grow quickly to people. He thinks everyone has a good side to themselves and they should focus on what good they do instead of on what bad they do.
He has strong will and passion on whatever he set his mind on, even if he has to squash someone else to reach his goal."
-------------------------------------------------------
For Kouki, I imagine something kinda rough, but also sweet. Nothing too crazy but nothing too delicate, maybe more of the latter than the former. Don't be afraid to experiment!
(Normal) “I’m Kouki Gushiken and they call me the Ultimate Lucky Student. I wanted “Ultimate Gambler” but this’ll do nicely, right?”
(Jokingly) “Geez, what ruined your mood? Rotten meat?”
*Improvise something here!*
"Leader of a well-known network of juvenile delinquents, identified by a black rose. She has the spirit, attitude and will of a leader, never letting her “subordinates” do the dirty job without her being involved, as she believes a true leader doesn’t just send others to do their dirty job. She’s a fun-loving realist who takes crap from no one, the only thing she’s missing being tolerance, however, she’s always looking out for her equals...in her own way. She got to her position due to it, in conjoined effort with her strict beliefs.
She doesn’t seem to mind the fact that she’s slowly draining her own life in alcohol and cigarettes, somewhat of a lone wolf when it’s not about leading. Her lifestyle somewhat forced her into losing a couple years, as she’s about 2 years older than the rest of the cast."
(Neutral) “Momoka Tsuchida, Ultimate Sukeban. Any cheeky or stupid comments you can shove them deep into your backside”
(Annoyed) “Sheesh, does she always have to shove her nose in my business?”
*Improvise something!*
"He has the uncanny ability of talking to ghosts, and manages to bond with all of them easily. People usually think he’s talking to himself due to some of his ‘special’ friends being quite persistent to communicate with him. As ironic as it sounds, he’s an atheist.
(Neutral) “The name’s Tsubasa Ishiuchi, Ultimate Exorcist”
(Annoyed) “If i'm gonna have to spend the rest of my days with that weirdo, i'll jump into a volcano first chance I have"
*improvise something here!*
"Quite tall and agile for a girl her age .She seems to be quite literally a second mother to those she cares about, showing some demand, worry and nagging them like children of her own, she can’t see anyone as guilty, making her usually stay out of any debating that might happen. She possesses bruises and cuts in her body, all healed by herself, as well as being completely devoid of sight"
-------------------------------------------
Aire is a woman of kind nature and motherly instinct. As such, her voice could probably be strong and demanding, but also able to be smooth and soothing. Don't be afraid to throw in a bit of your own spice though!(Neutral) “My name is Aire Iwayama...I’m a thief”
(Scolding) “Correct yourself and ask for forgiveness This Instant”or(Calm/Thoughtful) “If you see no evil, no evil is done”
*Improvise something here!*
" With an uncanny ability to convince people with his words, comforting others and manipulating the rest, leader of a huge cult.
His personal beliefs are that everyone should follow what they wish, without influence from an external party. He also holds an immense amount of resent towards his parents for their actions towards him, as he feels he doesn’t matter to them outside monetary income, however, his honorific personality doesn’t allow him to simply leave them, as he believes that isn’t what a man of honor would do"
-------------------------
Daisuke is a man of words and spirit, thusly, his voice would be quite masculine, matching his appearance, but have a hint of a wise, calm person who seems to know best even if he just spoke nonsense. Don't be afraid to use your vision though!
(Neutral) “I’m Daisuke Aguni, Ultimate Cult Leader. My pleasure”
(Confused) “...Is that supposed to be….offensive or….a joke?”
*Improv something here!*
"Writer and artist of three incredibly successful series of manga, her issues sell by the millions, with critical praise and several successful spin-offs and adaptations.
She’s a bit obsessive over her job, which leads to her being tired most of the day, giving seemingly incoherent answers from time to time, as well as falling asleep where she stands unless she’s been forced into sleeping the night or it being night time. Some say she breathes, lives, eats and drinks media of all kind."
--------------------
Miyako is two things: Sleepy, and straight to the point. She probably would have a strong voice, ready to yell her media knowledge in your face or rant for dissing her favourite anime. Don't be afraid of adding some of your own though!
(Sleepy) “Oh, I’m….Miyako Asakawa…..Is there any pizza here?”
(Scared) “N-Nani?!”or(Annoyed) “If you were looking for a princess, look in another castle”
*Improv something!*
(Normal) “Aloha bro! Name’s Kaleo Kekoa, Ultimate Surfer!”
(Surprised) “Woah dudette, chill. Didn’t mean to set your pizzas on fire”
or
(Smug/Philosophycal) “Women are like surfboards dude, to ride them you have to take it slow and easy”
*Improvise something here!*
"Beyond being a master at the art of yo-yo’s, she created both a fighting and a dancing styles based solely around it, surprisingly challenging and amusing, mixing her show up with juggling objects of various kinds, dancing, or the three at the same time. She’s somewhat of a tomboy, albeit a lonely one. Will always point out she’s “not like the other girls”. She’s terrible at insults and comebacks.Nevertheless, she fights until the end and is incredibly loyal and submissive to the ones she loves. She tries to hide her pain under a smug persona with little success"
------------------------
Youko can be either completely fired up or completely down. Her voice should be one capable of representing both in a believable bipolar kind of way, jumping easily while matching what she feels. Don't be afraid to try something new out though!
(Smug) “I don’t wanna brag but… Youko Fujimura, Performer Extraordinaire”
(Down) “No….it’s true….I’m sorry...I’ll get out of your sight now….”or(Angry) “O-OH YEAH?! W-W-WELL….YOU HAVE A STUPID…..UH…...EYE COLOR!”
*Improv something here!*
(Calm) “I am Jun Endo, Ultimate Psychotherapist. Should you need someone to tell your issues to, i’m all ears”
(Annoyed) “Those annoying jerks….Even beef jerky would be better…”
*Improv something here!*
Even though he claims himself straight, he has a lot of feminine mannerisms and ideas, he seems quite fond of cleaning and working out in his spare time. He is always up to checking his comrades’ health and managing it at his best.
One of his favorite things activities to cheer himself or someone else up, ironically, is baking treats"
------------------
(Joyful) "Oh, Hi!~ Name's Kenta Aomine, Ultimate Pole Dancer, health councelor and pastry chef"
(Confident) "If you need a hunk for any manual labor, you can count on me"
(Serious) "Whatever got us here, it definitely, definitely, doesn't like talent"
or
*Improvise something here*
(Neutral) “Kanon Nakajima. That’s all”
(Annoyed) “If all you’re going to do is stalk me, don’t question it when my fist becomes one with your face”or(Serious) “Allow me to cut in!”
*Improv something here*
(Timid) "O-Oh....Hi! Uh...I-I'm Shin....Shin Kashiwa! Pleased to...uhm.....Pleased to meet you!"
(Nervous) "....I-If I can be of use tell me!....uhm...w-without pointy things....please"
*Improvise something here!*
The title is actually considered by many to have a double meaning, as not only is her skill at rodeos and horse shows almost impossible to match, but she is also quite…..gifted. Daughter of a Japanese waitress and a Texan businessman. While she’s perfectly capable of detecting, and defending against, any perverted approach, she seems extremely gullible. A lesser feat is being taught Karate as a self-defense art by her mother when she was young, which she’ll use arbitrarily. She also apparently knows a small bit of cooking, repairing simple machinery, theatrics and marksmanship, although asking her about the theory of any of these will prove incredibly futile.
Her accent is definitely a remarkable feature"
-----------------------------------
Allyson's main emotions are happy and angry, not to mention that, since this is english we're talking about (unrealistic as that is), she should have a strong texan accent (Not mandatory though). Don't be afraid of adding your own ideas though!
(Happy) “Well I’ll be! Yet ‘nudder new face! Name’s Allyson Akanashi,Ultimate Cowgal! My pleasure!”
(Angry) “Hey! Get yer perverted ass outta here before I beat ya to a pulp y’hear?!”
*Improv something here*
"He’s not much of a social butterfly, but will willingly interact with other people. His novelist carrier has been short but explosive, as not too long after publishing his first web novel,
his popularity and increased by the millions.His stories tend to be #1 hits in the mystery genre, as his writing style manages to keep readers intrigued
and interested in his writing. His fame doesn’t seem to have affected him much, however, as he still acts like any other skeptical teenager. He takes a lot of passion in his environment, which he tends to rant on how beautiful it all is,
but the thing that steals his heart are murder mysteries"
---------------------------------
Osamu acts like quite a humble and amiable person, but you can't help but feel something's off about him.
His voice should be medium pitch, but he should also definitely speak in a mid-low volume, without showing much emotion
(Neutral) "Ah, Hello. My name is Osamu Fukuhara, Novelist. Never seen you before"
(Neutral?) "Nature's beautiful. Nature's mystery even more so, don't you think?"
(Neutral?) "Trapped in an island by a couple of teddy bears...This mystery, it feels masterful, does it not?"
*Or Improv something!*
Distinguishing trait is extreme men hate. Due this, she will never believe or trust information told to her by men, but become completely gullible to anything told to her by women (even if they both told her the same thing). She’s shown to have little thought in her actions, guiding herself more by guttural instinct and impulse, which usually ends in a tougher situation than before, which she somehow escapes.
Always carries a bag and a taser"
-----------------------------------------
Shinju can be easily described as whiney and demanding. Her voice should be rough, strong, loud and somewhat annoying. A.K.A The Internet's definition of a feminist. Don't be afraid to add your interpretation though!
(Annoyed) “Excuse me? Ew ew ew! Don’t touch me you lunatic!”
(Mad) “Ugh, fine. Only because she said so. Shinju Akashiro, Ultimate Bounty Hunter. Now scram! You fuckin’ creep”
*Improv something here!*
She seems incredibly innocent,usually gets very easily frightened,and won’t hesitate to ask for forgiveness when she’s caught red handed in a sea of tears.
While she doesn’t seem to be aware of many things (innuendo and metaphors included), she isn’t all happiness and sitting around as she likes to play around quite a bit.She only breaks her silence when in a panic or when with a person of trust. She will never for her life insult or hurt anyone else on purpose"
------------------------------------------
Naoko is a bit childish, but also really shy when it comes to speaking. Her voice should be high pitched and a bit quiet, as she doesn't tend to say much anyway. Don't be afraid to add your interpretation.
(Meek) “...I-I’m sorry...”
(Surprised/Close to tears) “I-I what!?”
*Improv something here*
(Taunting) "What? Ya ears plugged? We said 'No fucking!......Gettingofftheisland' "
(Smug) "Ohohoh! I hadn't seen a crowd this large ever since my concert with the Hendrix!"
*Improvise something here*
(Joyful) "I am Shirokuma! and that is my brother, Kurokuma. We're here to watch over you!"
(Confused) "Leaving? Why would you want to leave? This paradise has everything you could ask for you know!"
