Personality

ENFJ - 3w4 sp/so 369

Hardworking and outgoing, Natsumi is setting out to befriend everyone she meets. Despite this, she tends to struggle with intimacy - her workaholic tendencies tend to interfere with her relationships. She hates to be seen as clueless or in the wrong and will respond defensively when even the slightest bit of criticism or sense of distrust is levied at her.

Voice

Higher pitched, sort of "generic" female protagonist voice, similar to Emily from Class of '09 but way less valley girl/late 2000s accent and more expressive.

Personality

INTP 5w4 531 so/sp

Kenny is very intellectual and reserved. He tries to rationalize the restricted range emotions he does experience and is not fond of socialization. While having a very rich and detailed inner world, Kenny does not view himself as particularly interesting or outstanding.

Voice

Extremely flat affect, very little variation in tone or pitch. Completely unemotional - it’s difficult to gauge what he’s feeling, or if he’s feeling anything at all. Think Abed Nadir from Community but deeper.

Other

Kenny has schizoid personality disorder. This impacts his speech with the previously mentioned flat affect.

Background

Ji-su Min is a woman in her 20s from Seoul, South Korea. She is the Ultimate Starlet.

Personality

ESFP 3w2 397 sx/so

Ji-su has an extensive history with the entertainment industry, which has definitely warped her self-esteem and image. She wants be seen as attractive and popular, but is actually quite disconnected to the feelings of herself and her peers. As a result, she is a massive people pleaser. Ji-su wants people to be devoted to her, but secretly thinks herself as unworthy of the attention.

Voice

Has a stereotypical valley girl accent. Similar to Wendy from Red Velvet but slightly higher.

Other

Ji-su has narcissistic personality disorder, which impacts her behavior. She tries to mask her inferiority complex with a grandiose facade and is extremely sensitive to criticism.

Background

Tsiraka Côté is a Malagasy man in his early 20s from Antsiranana, Madagascar. He is the Ultimate Sailor.

Personality

ISTP 5w6 583 sp/sx

Tsiraka appears very stoic and stern on the outside, but is polite and cordial upon introduction. He's very stingy with his time and is usually detached from others despite his veneer of friendliness at the beginning of relationships. Incredibly self-sufficient and adventurous, he hates to depend upon anyone or be subject to the whims of others.

Voice

Very curt and professional. Similar to Zagreus from the Hades games.

Other

Tsiraka grew up on a naval base, where his father is a high-ranking admiral. His speech is somewhat regimented because of this, but he's trying to break away from this pattern.

Background

Mallory is a woman in her early 20s from Iron River, United States. She is the Ultimate Mortician.

Personality

INTJ 5w4 548 sx/sp

Mallory is bizarre and macabre, taking an interest in her parent’s funeral home for as long as she can remember. She’s obsessed with death and decay, and she often alienates others with her interests and unusual behavior. She often feels lost or helpless in her social life but doesn’t wish to do anything to change it. Outside of her social woes, she's quite calculated and analytical.

Voice

Creepy cute. Caitlin Doughty of Ask a Mortician is an inspiration - it’s similar but a bit higher.

Extra

Mallory is autistic, so her speech is a bit blunt as a result.

Background

Rocco Perry is a young man in his early 20s. He is from Kingston, Jamaica, and he is the Ultimate Horticulturist.

Personality

INFJ 4w3 461 so/sp

Dejected and defeated, Rocco tends to wallow in his own misery. He experiences dampened emotions except for sadness, and it seems like he's almost never in a good mood. He knows that it's not good to be down on himself, but he struggles to break his old habits. The only thing that really brings him any sort of joy is gardening.

Voice

Very sad and miserable, an extremely depressed version of Jeff Winger from Community. Also similar to the main character from Jack Stauber’s “rain” animation but less formal.

Other

Rocco has Schizoaffective disorder, which has an impact on his speech. He has a flat affect, and occasionally experiences alogia (poverty of speech) where he speaks very little or not at all.

Background

Mai is an Okinawan/Ryukyuan woman in her early 20s from Okinawa City in Japan. She is the Ultimate Stuntwoman.

Personality

ENTJ 8w7 836 sx/so

Mai is intense, active, and hot-headed. She has a short fuse and loses her temper quite frequently. Mai always wants to be the victor or dominant person in any interaction, and she's an extremely sore loser. She's a major adrenaline junkie who is always looking for the next big thrill, and she tends to domineer over others even in casual conversation.

Voice

Scrappy and aggressive. She raises her voice and shouts a lot. Similar to Akane Owari and Miu Iruma but scratchier and higher pitched - there's some Rainbow Dash energy as well.

Extra

Mai has Graves' disease, a form of hyperthyroidism. Her voice can get quite hoarse and rough as a result of her condition, as well as her tendency to shout a lot.

Background

David is a young adult in his early 20s from Philadelphia, United States. He is the Ultimate Multi-instrumentalist.

Personality

ENTP 7w8 784 sp/so

David's world view is one drenched in cynicism. He's irony-poisoned to the point where he can barely take things seriously. He's quite hedonistic and is always looking for a fun time, as he has a deep fear of suffering and boredom. David does his best to hide said fears behind a humorous and engaging persona.

Voice

David: Relaxed and casual speech, sort of a combination of Raimundo Pedrosa from Xiaolin Showdown and Mac Demarco without the Canadian accent. Maybe a sprinkling of Ben Chang from Community when he’s angry.

Extra

He has ADHD (combined type), so he'll have periods of time where he speaks extremely quickly (particularly if he is excited or stressed) or loses his train of thought mid-sentence.

Background

Amihan Palamo is a woman in her early 20s from the city of Manila in the Philippines. She is the Ultimate Meteorologist.

Personality

ESFP 2w3 278 sx/so

Amihan is an affectionate and cheerful person. She wears her heart on her sleeve and gets attached to people very quickly. However, both her relationships and her emotions are rather shallow. Behind her typically kind and seductive demeanor, she can get quite aggressive and vindictive when she doesn't get what she wants. Amihan is also very sensitive: any sense of disapproval, whether it is real or imagined, will get an automatic fawn response from her.

Voice

Sort of a trans-Atlantic news anchor/1950s actress sound. Think Lucy from I Love Lucy but a little deeper.

Background

Lucio Maldonado is a man in his early 20s from Juarez, Mexico. He is the Ultimate Astronomer.

Personality

ISFJ 1w2 154 so/sx

Sensible and a bit dreary, Lucio is has dedicated his life to studying space. He tries to maintain an air of humbleness despite his accomplishments, but is actually very judgmental and has a bit of an ego. He internally wishes to disregard people he deems annoying or incompetent but doesn't in an attempt to spare their feelings. He's very socially aware and detail oriented, and he beats himself up for even the slightest mistakes. Lucio has dual citizenship as an American and Mexican citizen, spending large parts of his life in El Paso, Texas.

Voice

Texan accent. Very soft spoken, similar to Clay Bailey (flash warning for the clip!) from Xiaolin Showdown but a bit quieter and higher.

Extra

Lucio is a transgender man. Trans-masculine and trans male voice actors will prioritized in terms of casting, but anyone can apply for the role.

Background

Ileana Moreno is a woman in her early 20s from Puerto Cortes, Honduras. She is the Ultimate Agent.

Personality

ISTJ 1w2 163 sx/sp

Ileana is distant, secretive, and vigilant. She's incredibly detailed oriented and calculated with an almost compulsive desire to improve. She's very critical of her self and others but never to the point of being defeatist. Once she lets her guard down, she's actually quite zealous and passionate about her ideals. Her need to conform to her ideas of perfection stems from the want to make the world a better place for her and her loved ones.

Voice

Very subdued and a little restrained, similar to Kyoko Kirigiri from DR1 but deeper, or Eva Tsunaka from Project Eden’s Garden but less nasaly. Gets a lot more expressive when she’s upset or angered.

Background

Boris is a man in his early 20s from Petrozavodsk, Russia. He is the Ultimate Butcher.

Personality

ISTJ 6w7 684 sx/sp

While Boris seems calm and collected on the surface, he's incredibly reactive and aggressive as a fear response. He is emotionally turbulent and very temperamental, and he is wary of trusting others and even himself. He's well-dressed and clean cut to mask something almost animalistic inside of him.

Voice

This is so specific but he sounds like the man in the lab coat from the Breaking Bad anime dub meme but more constrained and deeper and less anime dub-ish.

Background

Berta Ama Ekuban is a woman in her 20s from Accra, Ghana. She is the Ultimate Attorney.

Personality

ESTJ 8w9 862 so/sp

While being a control freak and a bit of a megalomaniac, Berta only really wants the best for the people around - especially those she considers vulnerable. Having power over and protecting others gives her a sense of security, and she can't stand the idea of being weak or feeble. She has a history of severe illnesses, particularly in her childhood, from which her desire for control over other stems from. Despite all this, Berta has a heart of gold and a good sense of humor, and she wants the best for the people she cares for.

Voice

Loud and high energy in the same vein as Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation, but not as high pitched. Sounds like Estelle but a lot more stern and direct.

Background

Theodore "Teddy" Baines is an Alyawarre man in his early 20s from Canteen Creek, Australia. He is the Ultimate Survivalist.

Personality

ISTP 9w8 954 sp/so

Teddy is an independent and easy-going outdoorsman. He prefers to spend time in nature and has a knack for quickly coming up with solutions to any problems he faces. Teddy doesn't mind talking to others but prefers solitude. He has a "go with the flow" attitude and lets people walk all over him. He's very intelligent and observant but can be a little gullible and tends to take what people say at face value.

Voice

Thick Aussie accent, very flat and reserved. Similar to Mike Dundee of Crocodile Dundee but a lot less expressive, a bit quieter, and a teeny bit higher.

Extra

Teddy is autistic and has inattentive ADHD. As previously mentioned, he speaks very flatly and bluntly, and he frequently trails off mid sentence or loses his train of thought.

Background

Izhi Huaman is a Quechua woman in her early 20s from Paucartambo, Peru. She is the Ultimate Mountaineer.

Personality

ESFJ 9w1 927 so/sx

Izhi is very sunny and kind, and she always tries to see the best in people. As someone with multiple climbing records, she's extremely accomplished for her age but incredibly humble. Izhi can be a bit of a doormat and quite naive - since she tends to give most people the benefit of the doubt, she can be tricked or taken advantage of easily. 

Voice

Bright and cheery, on the higher side, similar to Annie Edison from Community. Also like Aoi Asahina from DR1, but less squeaky and more chipper.

Background

Sorrel Locklear is a Cowichan (Indigenous/First Nations) man in his early 20s from Cowichan Lake, Canada. He is the Ultimate Mycologist.

Personality

ISFJ 6w5 612

Sorrel is in a near constant state of neurosis - he’s only relaxed when foraging or looking at samples under a microscope. He is very meek and cowardly, and will run away from confrontation unless he gets cornered. However, he is very kind and welcoming to almost everyone he meets to combat his fear of others.

Voice

Higher-pitched à la Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown, but more nasally and less raspy. He has that Spongebob scream when he gets scared.

Background

Enku Ketema is a woman in her early 20s from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She is the Ultimate Archaeologist.

Personality

ESTP 7w8 783 so/sx

Enku is a frenetic go-getter with a need to constantly be on the move. Her fixation on the present is odd to some considering her field of expertise, but Enku stopped caring about what others think of her a long time ago. All that matters to her is getting to the top and having a blast while doing it. Enku is quite contentious - she can be underhanded and dishonest to accomplish her ambitions, but she just views it as a means to an end.

Voice

Spunky and very expressive - think Tenko Chabashira from DRV3 but a little more nasally and higher energy.

Extra

Enku has hyperactive-impulsive ADHD. She tends to speak extremely quickly and sometimes stumbles over her words.

Background

Souma Fujimoto is a man in his early 20s from Osaka, Japan. He is the Ultimate Neurologist.

Personality

ENFP 2w3 269 sp/sx

Souma is incredibly generous - he does a lot of work to help others to the point where he feels entitled to their support and affection. He's a bit immature and sensitive to criticism, but he means well. Souma is narcoleptic and is constantly drowsy and distracted - he always seems a little bit out of it. He has big ambitions and ideas, but struggles to execute them due to his condition.

Voice

A very soft, slightly monotone voice. Sounds half-asleep a lot of the time. Similar to Daisuke from the Mouthwashing Steam Awards animation but lower, or Poison Mushroom Cookie from Cookie Run but faster.

Extra

Due to having narcolepsy, Souma may start to drift off or even fall asleep in the middle of a sentence.

Background

Najwa is a woman in her 20s from Cairo, Egypt. She is the Ultimate Journalist.

Personality

Classy and demure, Najwa holds high standards for others and even higher ones for herself. She is a snob in all aspects of her life and only expects the highest quality in work and products. Najwa is very sociable and loves to network, but she is also ruthless when it comes to competition. She's prone to gossip and loves cheesy romance novels but doesn't want to admit either of these things.

Voice

A bit snobby and stuck up, very posh. Similar to Samantha Jones in Sex in the City.

Background

Michelangelo Di Pietro is a man in his early 20s from Bologna, Italy. He is the Ultimate Sculptor.

Personality

ISFP 4w3 417 sx/so

Michelangelo is creative, temperamental, and pretentious. He is naturally gifted in the visual arts and is dedicated to his craft. However, he struggles to have an identity outside his work and has an intense fear of abandonment. He's also quick to anger and prone to jealousy. Michelangelo tends to be very theatrical and flashy with his language and actions - some wonder if the show is put on just to get people to stay with him. Michelangelo is also a Roman Catholic, having been raised in a convent after being orphaned as a baby.

Voice

Has an air of haughtiness about his voice. Similar to Damon Maitsu from Project Eden’s Garden but slightly lower and less protagonist-y, if that makes sense.

Background

Elfrieda Spielzug is a woman in her early 20s from Klagenfurt, Austria. She is the Ultimate Puppeteer.

Personality

ENFP 7w6 749 sx/sp

Elfrieda is a peppy, enthusiastic, and passionate person who often gushes and rambles about her interests in puppeteering, fairy tales, and medieval European history. She's quite ditzy and easily distracted, but she excels at storytelling and performance. Elfrieda struggles a lot with social and conversational cues, often talking over others or bringing up unrelated topics in the middle of a discussion. She's optimistic and bright - many people dislike her for being childish and inconsiderate, but others admire her self-confidence and sincerity to her true self.

Voice

Sweet and very bubbly. Sounds like Kim Petras but a bit peppier and higher.

Extra

Elfrieda is autistic, struggling a lot with befriending conversing with others. She has narrow interests and gets worked up over small changes in plans.

Background

Feleti Ngata is a man in his early 20s from Nuku’alofa, Tonga. He is the Ultimate Marine Biologist.

Personality

ESFJ 2w1 217 so/sp

Feleti puts the desires and needs of everyone else before his own well-being, meaning he often over-exerts himself and crosses boundaries to help others. He often refuses assistance from others and neglects his own needs, as he believes that service is the only way he is useful. While being very gregarious and outgoing on the surface, he's rather emotionally distant and competitive underneath. He has a tendency to socially climb, and uses helping other as a vehicle to achieve his ambitions.

Voice

Chilled out and happy, along the lines of Snufkin from Moomin but way less formal.

Background

Meena Yadav is a Sinhalese-Tamil woman in her early 20s from Mannar, Sri Lanka. She is the Ultimate Zoologist.

Personality

ISFP 9w1 925 sx/sp

Meena is calm and collected, acting as a mediator in many conflicts her peers have. Her love of animals practically defines her entire personality - she doesn't have much of an identity outside of her work and her opinions. Meena is also quite stubborn and can get stuck in her ways.

Voice

Very relaxed and soft. Similar to Jenny Nicholson but slightly lower and less squeaky.

Background

Nergüi Timuriin is a man in his early 20s from Kharkhorin, Mongolia. He is the Ultimate Philosopher.

Personality

INFP 4w5 496 sp/sx

With an affinity for tarot cards and Greek astrology, Nergüi is a empathetic and spiritual person with a tendency to get lost in thought. He does not speak very much, having no interest in small talk and what he considers "useless conversations" - he only speaks when he needs to. Nergüi is prone to internalizing his own suffering and emotions, and he speaks very vaguely with flowery language when he talks at all.

Voice

Quiet and wistful. Think Camellia Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom.

Background

Monologger is the practitioner of the killing game that Natsumi and her classmates are forced to play. She is the Dean of Students and the de-facto mascot of school they are trapped in.

Personality

Evil, conniving, and draconian, this black and white beaver is nothing short of devious. She revels in the misery of her students (like any good dean would) and tantalizes them with the promise of freedom at the cost of a human life. Monologger derives her name for her love of Shakespearian plays and her tendency to go on and on about making everyone's life a living hell. It's unsure who or what is controlling her, but she's definitely not a real beaver.

Voice

She has a voice like that of the goon in the Breaking Bad anime dub meme but a lot more feminine and less like a troll that lives under the bridge. Also similar to Monokuma from the mainline DR games.
