Danganronpa Fan Project: New Notations

Project Overview

DANGANRONPA VF: NEW NOTATIONS CASTING CALL + OTHER ASSISTANCE

Hello! I'm currently writing a fan game based on Danganronpa with an original cast of students, and I need some help! The prologue in its entirety is already written, however I'll still need hand with a few other parts, especially voice acting. There are currently 18 speaking roles available for voice actors in addition to the other technical and creative roles.

Quick Plot: 

You are Riku Shujinko, a new University Student at Memorial Stories University! The university promises that all of its graduates will be remembered forever, and stories about them will be passed down for generations. They take anyone who is the best in their field, and they will do whatever they can to help hone those talents to the utmost peak they can be. However... when you wake up suddenly in a mysterious machine, only to exit to find the school abandoned save for 15 other unknown Ultimates, you soon learn the sinister nature of your time at Memorial Stories...

It certainly won't be a story that you'll forget.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oJBEqW41xn4EV_KjiApy3Ujhj_Vs0jm75Es-4wiR7_Y/mobilebasic

Looking for:

Voice Actors! People who are at least familiar with the Danganronpa series and would be willing to record voice lines for the students (and the Mono-units) would be preferred. For now, as only the prologue is finished, voice lines should be at minimum a few minutes or at maximum about half an hour's worth. I'll happily accept double-ups in roles if you show enthusiasm and feel like the perfect fit! (Preferred 16+, as the characters will all be young adults.)

Sprite Artists! While I have created a base reference for each character, I will need a hand with sprite work in order to match the dialogue more accurately than having a static image with a slightly changing face. I will be more than happy to assist any applicants in this area, but please know that my primary focus will be on the writing.

Background Artists! Something that I have no experience in, I need a hand in drawing the more painting-like backgrounds and screens that are often used in cutscenes and interactions with characters in the Danganronpa games. Someone who is good with lighting would be preferred.

Musicians! It wouldn't be a Danganronpa game without a killer soundtrack, so I need people who are willing to make music as well! In addition, each character has an associated instrument, as there is a minor theme of music throughout the game, so either a versatility with the instruments or software that can make midi files of various different instruments would be ideal.

Coders! As this is primarily a visual novel, I will need someone with experience in coding things like that. However, the mini game portion is just as important to the game as the story, so being able to code games similar to the Non-Stop Debate, Hangman's Gambit, and Rebuttal Showdown is essential.

Requirements:

Again, I'd prefer applicants to be 16+, due to the adult themes.

In addition, voice actors should have at least a decent microphone with no background noise. As long as your voice can be heard clearly and thoroughly (no bumblebee buzzing), I will accept any quality microphone.

This will be primarily discussed on a Discord server, which you will get an invite to should you be accepted into the project. Applicants should have a Discord, and be relatively active should they get a character that's significantly important to the story.

Thank you for showing interest! I hope you all have a great day!

(Protagonist) Riku Shujinko, the Ultimate Lawyer
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Mr EMC

Voice Type: Shy, mid-toned, unexceptional.

Riku Shujinko is the protagonist of the story, and the primary narrator. While his voice isn't heard often in the bulk of the game, there may sometimes be moments where he needs to be heard. Typically, he's shy and awkward, much like your typical protagonist in a game like this, but when he needs to be he can be forceful and convincing. He's passionate about what he does as a lawyer, and sees himself as a protector for those who couldn't protect themselves. He's also quite short, at least compared to the other people in the class.

  • "Well, what you need to remember is that everyone is going to be affected no matter how the trial goes... someone is going to get hurt, or lose something, or have things not go their way. I see my job as less about winning no matter the cost, but rather as making both sides as happy as possible."

  • "My name's not squirt. It's Riku. Riku Shujinko."

  • "I... I really don't know what to do. Is this really going to be okay? Is this really going to..."

Kameko Fukumoto, the Ultimate Driver

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Cheeby

Voice Type: Calm, quiet, verging on breathy unless she needs to speak up. Mid-high tone

Kameko Fukumoto is the mysterious Ultimate Driver, someone who prefers silence and keeping to herself whenever she can. While she does appreciate being with friendly people, she's not that much of a talker, so when she finally does say something her voice is direct and to the point, to minimize whatever interactions she has to make. As someone who grew up a criminal only to later decide to split off and go legit, she's used to being alone, and doesn't mind being ignored if she's in a situation where others want to be the center of attention. She lets her gut and intuition guide her, but she also knows when it's a good idea to break off all ties and run.

  • "She's right. Better to face whatever this is head on than to hope it will resolve itself."

  • "He's not joking. The way he's talking, the way he's being so casual about this... I've seen behavior like this. This isn't going to be good."

  • "This will be quick, I promise. You say that the killer will have to get away with the murder to graduate. If they don't... what will happen?"

Mikhail Latimer, the Ultimate Actor
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Professional Mr Phann

Voice Type: Dramatic, loud, really just able to project. Mid-low tone

Mikhail Latimer is the Ultimate Actor, and as such is a very self-absorbed and smug person. Most interactions with Mikhail will result in some form of snide and sophisticated one-liner, followed by him complimenting himself. He's very much aware that people may be frustrated or annoyed with him, and though he may not necessarily outwardly show it and even outwardly denies it... it sometimes gets to him. As such, he tends to take leadership roles, allowing him to both fuel his ego and need to have power, as well as help others, should they need it. While he loves being fawned over by fans, he'd like to be appreciated as well.

  • "Oh, you haven't heard of me? Shame. Not that I hate introductions, I just assumed that a class of Ultimates would know of the Ultimate Actor already."

  • "Well, there's no sense in leaving you here slack-jawed and dumbfounded. Come! You must make a grand entrance!"

  • "Could everyone please get back on track? My reputation is at stake! We must stop bickering and collaborate here! We may be strangers, but we are still classmates, which means we'll have to learn to get along one way or another anyhow."

Kogo Hitoshikunai, the Ultimate Forger
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: know-your-paradoxes

Voice type: Snarky, cheeky, mid-tone

Kogo Hitoshikunai is someone who knows she's the best at what she does, but rarely decides to brag about it. Instead, she takes the opportunity to talk about other riveting bits of conversation, like how hot she is, how much taller she is than you, or how much cooler she is than you. In three words, she's cheeky, sneaky, and rude. And she's not afraid to call herself any of those words, herself.

  • "Considering my whole thing is forgeries, you may have had to deal with the shit I've done. You know... distributing fake money, selling fake art, writing fake signatures, that sorta shit. The kinda shit you'd need a lawyer to fix."

  • "Well butter my ass and call me Sally, we might get along after all. Don't seriously do that, though. I reserve ass-buttering for marriage."

  • "Well, at least these seats are comfy; at my old university everything was made out of wood. I swear my ass got calluses after my first quarter."

Haruto Henkan, the Ultimate Bodybuilder
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Alxmason

Voice Type: Varies, can be shaky and cowardly or proud and loving. Mid-toned

Note: Though Haruto is a trans man, cisgendered men and women may audition for this role, though preferably I would like a trans VA to take this role.

Haruto Henkan is the Ultimate Bodybuilder, someone who's very proud of their body and the work that he's put into it. He's FtM Trans, meaning that the moment that he no longer felt like he had to wear a shirt to avoid people yelling at him and calling him a freak or a pervert, shirts practically left his wardrobe. Despite all of this, he's still somewhat cowardly, recognizing that his body, despite being sculpted and muscular, isn't exactly built for power. He's actually quite weak, gets tired very easily, and is constantly worried that he'll run into someone that will recognize him for who he was before his transition, even though he's obviously changed quite a lot since his time as a teenager.

  • "Oh! Right! Right, names! Names, uh... I'm Haruto Henkan. That's my name!"

  • "How can I keep up my tan?! I can't go pale like this! I just can't! I can't be the Ultimate Bodybuilder unless I'm beautiful in every way!"

  • "You cut her fucking leg off! Jesus fucking shitfuck!"

Tenshi Suto, the Ultimate Masochist
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: bellad1243

Voice Type: Cheerful, sassy, fun. High-toned

Tenshi Suto is the Ultimate Masochist, and that title is only a LITTLE misleading. She's not an Ultimate Dominatrix or anything, but rather someone with ultimate levels of pain tolerance. She's not the scars to prove it, and proudly shows off her neck scar from when she willingly slit her own neck to see how long she could stay awake. She's a daredevil and self-sacrificing, but undeniably caring for people that aren't nearly as hard to kill as she is. She goes through life joyful and happy, with enough sass sprinkled in to stay interesting and funny.

  • "Yeah, aren't lawyers supposed to have briefcases and stand tall so they can point at the judge all like 'OBJECTION! OVERRULED! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!'" *giggle*

  • "Maybe he's just looking for a good mother figure and his brain went all Freud and crossed his horny wires with his mommy wires."

  • "I hear it's a good stress reliever to squeeze the hell out of something so... use my hand if you need to. Wh... hey! It's not like a smeared my hand in shit or anything!"

Noboru Tanji, the Ultimate Missionary
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: MisplacedText

Voice type: Calm, soothing, careful. Mid-Low tone

Noboru Tanji is a very calm and compassionate person... when he wants to be. While he is used to leading, he is also used to cooperation and ensuring that others feel welcome and appreciated around him. He almost has an aura about him that lets others feel loved whenever he speaks to them, and it can often times make people feel nervous combined with his... pretty appearance. Despite all of this, if need be he can easily turn into a sulfur and hellfire-type priest if things are not going his way. It takes a lot before he starts to yell and shout about how the entire world is doomed to damnation, but he isn't afraid to calmly tell people that they're going to be sent to hell for their misdeeds. It's his equivalent of telling someone to go fuck themselves while smiling in their face.

  • "A new face is always a blessing when our world is surrounded in gray. Especially one as friendly as yours."

  • "Well, if I'm being honest, I don't know when this game will end; I'm actually having something of a difficult time following. But, as this game ends, I implore you to take a seat so that we may... become better acquainted."

  • "But if you do not settle with each other, if you do not seek forgiveness, you will both only delve further into damnation, to burn upon wrought iron spikes, your genitals sliced off and yours souls carved away to be tortured for all eternity."

Ume Watanabe, the Ultimate Accountant
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: FreeFanForever

Voice Type: Craggy, sickly, cranky. Mid-high tone

Ume Watanabe is the Ultimate Accountant, and the ultimate example of someone who's been broken over the knee of capitalism. She's hard-working to the point of sleep depravation, and it's taken a physical toll on her body. Her voice is often hoarse or clogged, so even though she's never smoked a day in her life, she sounds like she's had a pack a day. She can barely even dress herself right even when she's awake, often never tucking in her shirt or putting her coat on properly. The bare minimum is if you tell her to do something she's good at, she'll get it done in record time and better than you ever could have expected.

  • "Another suit. Great to have company there, I guess. Ume Watanabe, Ultimate Accountant. Please don't ask me to say it again."

  • "Look, I'm really not that interesting. You'd be best finding someone else to bother. Sorry, finding someone else to get to know."

  • "Let go of Tsubasa, you little perv. Nobody's falling for your act."

Ko Go, the Ultimate Fisherman

Unpaid
Role assigned to: tory

Voice Type: Slow, methodical, “dude”like. Low tone

Ko Go is an incredibly laid-back individual to the point where they're almost too laid-back. They can fall asleep at the drop of a pin and they seem to be almost entirely food-motivated. As such, they're just incredibly tired in general, but not necessarily cranky. He's generally quite happy, relatively optimistic and supporting of others if they seek his opinion on things. Overall, just kind of a cool dude.

  • "Can I go back to sleep? I was having a good dream about... ...potato chips..."

  • "...I dunno... I just kinda woke up and was told to come here. What's going on, anyway?"

  • "...Did you say... kill? As in... end someone's life kill? As in... for real, like, stab someone?"

Kimi Katayama, the Ultimate Pirate

Unpaid
Role assigned to: MoodyCancer

Voice Type: Varies, can be loud and raging or calm and dominating. Mid-low tone.

PRIMARY DISCLAIMER: DO NOT DO A CLASSIC YO HO PIRATE VOICE FOR KIMI, I WILL DECLINE ALL APPLICANTS WHO DO THIS

Kimi Katayama is a brutal criminal who profits off the destruction and thieving of cargo ships and ocean oil refineries, and she's someone who's good enough to get away with it clean every time. She's tall, intimidating, and a strong leader should she be put in a position like that. Though, usually the case is she seizes whatever she wants to take, whether it's possessions, positions, or lives. Her voice is always intended to be intimidating, whether it's a low growl or a commanding shout. Whether you're right in front of her or across the ocean staring at her ship, she'll have you shitting yourself in no time.

  • "Now, who do we have here? What sort of name should we be giving you, hm?..."

  • "The moment we find out who's running this facility is the moment we find out why we were knocked out and tossed into that machine. Whoever did that to us is going to lose an ear, so they better hope they have a knife unless they'd like me to bite it off."

  • "If you want your little toy to stay intact, whoever you are... GIVE ME BACK MY FUCKING MEMORIES!"

Kibishi Yoshinaga, the Ultimate Mortician
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Sanguine

Voice Type: Tired, self-debasing, just sorta given up. Mid-tone

Kibishi Yoshinaga is the Ultimate Mortician. He's fiercely hard on himself, and definitely not...the most social. Due to his obsession with the dead, most of his humor is dark to the point of no longer even seeming funny, just spending time coming up with overly dramatic and gruesome ways that people can die. He's not particularly active, and tends to speak very monotone, unless something actually excites him. He's also a very staunch realist verging on pessimist, tending to see things for the reality they are very quickly, but also typically seeing the negative aspects highlighted front and center.

  • "Never know. People die unexpectedly all the time. I could press a key on this piano too hard and cause a rotting floor board beneath it to finally snap after years of decay, which would then cause this entire floor to collapse, crushing us under the debris of this building. Our deaths would be very painful."

  • "I feel... like our world is about to collapse. That our lives will become forfeit, and that we will descend into a despair unlike any mankind has yet seen... Joking."

  • "I am glad that the headmaster has the same sense of humor that I do. Maybe this won't be so bad after all!"

Manami Hino, the Ultimate Saleswoman

Unpaid
Role assigned to: biida

Voice Type: Fast-talking, cheerful, imagine an Avon Lady. High tone

Manami Hino is a very business-oriented woman who cares about three things in this world: getting the job done, keeping the client happy, and shoulders. She really likes shoulders. She's generally quite compassionate to people, though she often subtly tries to assert herself over them by using her nurturing nature to control them and make them do what she wants. If people don't do what she wants, however, she's quick to anger and easy to piss off. In extreme situations, beyond those she's normally used to, she's a stress vomiter. So if you take this role, please be able to convincingly imitate throwing up.

  • "Well, of course! Nothing shows your dominance and assertiveness in the field like broad shoulders!"

  • "Oh, don't you look like you've had a fright! Don't you worry that sweet little face, I have enough money to sue the pants off this university if something goes wrong!"

  • *vomits* "Guh... I... I can't believe this... I m-must be... d-dreaming!"

Nagasa Natsu, the Ultimate Circus Performer
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: AluryFreighn

Voice Type: Varies. Most often loud, goofy, annoying. High-tone

Nagasa Natsu is the Ultimate Circus Performer, and pretty much never breaks character... whatever character it is they are. Their personality and manner of speaking can vary wildly on a whim, and they come off as quite volatile because of it. They internally are doing this on purpose, just to see if anyone will find it funny, but they don't really seem to catch on to the social cues like others do. Obviously being a circus performer is more than being a clown, however, so they're also pretty durable, flexible, and acrobatic when they need to be. Any chance they can get to do something for a laugh or to show off their talent, they'll absolutely do it. Whoever takes this role must be good at doing several different tones of voices at once, and must also be good at screaming in terror.

  • "Well, howdy ho, frienderino! Howzit tooya?..."

    "If you'd pardon my French, my dear new compatriot, hello and how are you?"

  • "Oh, REALLY? Boy oh boy oh boy! You must be some kind of superhuman healer! Please bequeath unto me thine healthful touch, oh Great Lord of Medicine. Mine headeth acheth with the greatest of pains... eth."

  • "What, did you expect a fireworks display? Wait, can you GET a fireworks display? Hold on, I gotta go find some fireworks!"

Aiko Mochizuki, the Ultimate Weight Lifter
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: AAlice

Voice Type: Deep, gravelly, direct. Low tone

Aiko Mochizuki is the Ultimate Weight Lifter, and she knows she's earned that title. She's worked most of her young adult life to get to this point, and has learned to ignore the people who try to shit on her for her appearance. She puts on a stony, condescending demeanor that matches her physical strength, but that's partially a disguise. Deep down, the comments about her weight, her appearance, her brutishness still get to her. She wasn't always strong, but she's never been pretty in her eyes, but now that she can throw people halfway across the room, she's not going to let that stop her from succeeding if people decide to give her shit.

  • "Watch yourself, Tenshi. You'll kill him before we even get a chance to talk."

  • "Aiko Mochizuki, Ultimate Weight Lifter. Now tell me your name so I can get back to winning."

  • "H-how should I know? I have no idea what that bear was trying to say!"

Mochi Nakata, the Ultimate Collector
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: XxxxNatexxxX

Voice type: Varies, can be sneaky and patronizing or cute and victimizing. High tone

Mochi Nakata is the Ultimate Collector, known for finding rarities with almost supernatural ease. He personally attributes it to being small and able to reach into places that others can't, but even he knows that's bullshit. He's perceptive, cute, and paranoid, but below all of that is an incredibly unhealthy and toxic possessiveness over whatever he considers 'his'. As such, he's especially fond of mimicking certain toxically masculine traits, such as objectifying women, 'turf wars' with other guys, and using kindness and innocence as a trap to get people to do what he wants. Whoever takes this role should be able to pull off both cute and disgusting at the same time.

  • "P-perv? Act? Wh... what are you saying? Th-that I'm... lying?"

  • "Oh, that's silly! What if you were going against a serial murderer? Or a kid killer! Or a kid RAPIST! You can't seriously look at a pedo and be like, 'Oh, I don't want to huwt his widdle feewings... boo hoo...'"

  • "By the way... sweater bitch is mine. I called dibs. Great meeting you, though!"

Tsubasa Ban, the Ultimate Knitter

Unpaid
Role assigned to: jva25

Voice Type: Calm, quiet, imagine a librarian. Mid-high tone


Tsubasa Ban is the Ultimate Knitter, and as such fulfills the motherly stereotype that sort of goes along with someone that's incredible at knitting. She's very prim and proper, even refusing to use contractions in speech. Despite trying to be formal about most things, she's still one to try to cheer people up as much as possible, and will often even go out of her way to hand-make presents for others, whether it's a hand-knit article of clothing or just a card. Ideally, she should have a quiet voice, but the voice actor should be willing to yell in anger or fear should the situation call for it.

  • "Oh, have we not met? I am sorry, I am not the best with faces."

  • "I agree with Riku! Please, do not talk about genital flaying! I am getting... queasy at the thought..."

  • "Mochi, please do not cry. If you cry, then... then I will cry! And if I cry, then... then..." *sobs*

Monokuma, Headmaster of Memorial Stories University
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Mr EMC

Voice Type: Evil, fun-loving, generally sadistic. High tone

Anyone who knows the Danganronpa franchise knows about Monokuma, but in case you need a refresher on who they are, they're a snarky, cheery-voice teddy bear that seeks to inflict sadistic punishment on the students of whatever academy he's wreaking havoc on. Whoever takes this role must be able to do a wide variety of high-pitched laughs, including sneaky, sinister, boisterous and mocking.

  • "Yup! Punishment! Oh, I get fuzzy just thinking about it! Well, fuzzier than usual, anyway. Since I'm a bear!"

  • "Gotta say, I think the most brutal one was when one of the mathematics professors was impaled on the flagpole. Vertically! The secretary that did him in really wanted to crush the family jewels, you know?"

  • "Well, well, wellwellwellwellwell! Seems like everyone's getting ready to tear each other's throats out already! Oh that won't do, that won't do at all!

    Hu... huhuhu... not yet, anyway...

    If you could all please come to the lecture hall for an important announcement from your headmaster! Run along now! I'll be waiting..."
