hey guys!! I will like to say we have switched it from being an animated series to being a fan-game!!
Ena is the daughter of 2 famous actors, and because of that she learned her passion for films fairly fast. Shortly after she was born, her family went to Italy to film a movie, but the small family ended up falling in love with the city and decided to stay. When she was only 12, she helped direct the famous movie The Skyscouts, and became sought out after by big film companys. She manged to direct 2 more hit movies before her family moved back to Japan when she was 14. Once Star Shine talent scouts saw her work, they quickly invited her. Ena is cheerful and determined, her biggest dream is to become a film director in Paris.
she has a normal voice.
"My name is Ena Higa, and im the Ultimate Director!!"
(thrilled, full of hope and wonder)
*gasp* "is that a dead body!? Who would do such a thing!?"
(shocked, disgusted)
"I am full of hope, because I have people who care for me, look out for me, people who I love! And I wont let a silly thing like despair stop me!"
Katsumi is the ultimate international star, they are a big hit worldwide, however they desired a break from the spotlight. One they were scouted, they instantly took up the oppertunity. Katsumi used to be bullied for being nonbinary, to the point where the only way to escape the bullying was through song, once their mom posted a video of them singing, it went viral, and caused them to be an international superstar.
"Hi! Im Katsumi Kawai! And im the ultimate international star!"
"I-I-I cant b-belive it...."
for this just send in a song you sang
Enki is a fun, happy go-lucky teen with a dream to write his own musical theater play. Enki was born into a poorer family and his mother always told him to presue his dreams, however when he was only 6 she died due to an unkown sickness. Enki decided to follow his dreams for her, even when he was made fun of by his father and classmates. Once he was scouted by Star Shine high, he imediatly accepted.
I imagine him sounding like Dipper from gravity falls
"I am the one, the only.... ENKI KIDA!! The ultimate actor!!!"
"Im a great actor, so great that they sometimes call me... Enki the great!"
"magic of theater is everywhere, you just have to look!"
Kiyoshi grew up in a neglectful household, his father died when he was fairly young, and his mother being a raging alcoholic, he never had someone to lean on, but that is when he met dispeariss. They started talking online and she convinced him to join his schools chess club. Once he did he feel in love with the game, he started to worship Dispeariss for "bringing him into the light", he loved the rush of despair he felt when he would loose in a chess game to the point where he got addicted. Once he found out that Dispeariss was attending Star Shine High, he bribed a talent scout to let him into the school. Once he learned that Dispesriss was Chika, they started to create the killing game together. Kiyoshi is often Calm and mysterious. He hides his age and he believes his "true ultimate" is the ultimate despair.
Kiyoshi has a deeper voice
"hey, the names Kiyoshi Kajiwara, and im the ultimate chess player, pleased to make your aquantance."
"woah woah woah! Why are you acussing ME of murder, just because im quiet dosent mean im a fucking physco!?"
"You know, the thing is...I love despair more then I love myself. I want EVERYONE to feel love for this feeling, soon people will fucking WORSHIP me because I BROUGHT THEM INTO THE LIGHT."
Kokoro is a quiet, reserved, intelligent young girl. She is the middle sister of 3 and is often busy. Due to her having no friends her entire life other then her sisters, she tends to belive it is overrated and lacks empathy, often hurting others without realizing it. From early on she realized her passion for flowers and opened a small flower shop down near her local marketplace. Her shop became so well known in Japan that she was scouted by talent scouts for Star Shine High along with her two sisters.
her voice is a normal girls voice
"hello, my name is Kokoro Fukuhara, but you may know me better as the Ultimate florist."
(calm)
"ANZU!!! Stop causing trouble for everyone here, I am very sorry for my sisters... rudeness."
(starts off angry then ends calmly)
"friendship is overrated. All it does is cause pain for everyone here."
Pupukuma is a dog/cat hyprid (spificaly a pomski and a ragdoll). Pupukuma hates being called cute, and he will kill anyone calling him cute. I imagine his voice being simaller to robofizz from helluva boss, but more high pitched. Whenever he swears the word will be bleeped out by a dog bark or a cat meow, Pupukuma hates kids, and makes sure everyone knows it.
"HELLLOOOOOOOO LOSErS !!! IT IS I! YOUR AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC PRINCIPAL PUPUKUMA!!!!!!!!!!"
"im so dearly sorry, but you cant leave.... ever!! sorry losers!!!"
"DANGIT!!! THOSE LOSERS BROKE THE FUCKING CONNECTION TO THE NETWORK!!!"
Anzu is a bubbly, hyperactive, brave 13 year old. Anzu is the youngest out of 3 and is often labeled annoying by her peers. Born with the rare skin condition viligito, she is often made fun of, dispite that she has lots of friends and is quite popular amongst the girls in her class. Anzu started sewing when she was only 5 in order to help support her family after her fathers company went bankrupt. However, she never really had a passion for sewing throughout her life, but many of her mothers co-workers commision her to make them dresses, causing her to be scouted at the ripe age of 13, and causing her to skip middle school. Anzu often masks the pressure she gets by others to be a world famous seamstress with her bubbly and happy-go lucky demeanor.
Anzu has a higher pitched voice, she often talks faster too.
"hey!! hey!! hey!! The names Anzu Fukuhara!!! The youngest child of the Fukuhara fam!! Oh! thats right! My ultimate, almost forgot (giggle)! Im the ultimate seamstress!!!"
(happy)
"I made my hoodie myself hehe! I can make one for you as well!"
(proud)
*gasp* "OH MY GOD?!?! A dead body?? This is sick!!"
(shocked)
Meako is an orphan and lived her life in an orphanage. Even when she was very young, her caretakers deemed her as rebellious and creepy, so they sent her to an old timey boarding school when she was around 11. To their suprise, she ended up quite enjoying it there. She was introduced to the occult by one of her friends and became inspired to join one. She joined a famous cult The Blue Raven, and eventually took over it. A talent scout joined the cult and quickly invited her to the school, promising her people greatness, she attended. Meako is often deemed as emotionless and quiet.
Meako has a higher pitched voice.
"Hello. My name is Maeko Ito, and I am the ultimate occultist."
(calm)
"I understand why you think im the killer, but you very much wrong"
(emotionless)
"You have some balls attempting to kill me."
(calm, dazed)
Chika is the oldest member of the Fukuhara family and is the oldest in class 2-B. She is the ultimate technician and a famous hacker under the name of her alter ego 'Dispeariss'. Chika is mature, calm, and very manipulative. She even calls herself the ultimate hero after its revealed she is the mastermind. The thing with Chika is that she believes she is being the "hero" by trapping her classmates in a killing game (we are heading into spoilery terriritory so ima stop here). She has always loved computers, her father and her bonded over their love for screens, once her father went bankrumpt, she promised him she would make millions for the family, and would go to the library to practice programming. By the age of 9 she created 5 robots and 1 super computer. Once she learned about Star Shine academy she made it her goal to attend there. She managed to hack into the system and sent herself an invite to the school. She acts motherly around her classmates and deeply cares for them.
I imagnie her voice being fairly deep but not too deep.
"The names Chika. Chikia Fukuhara. The ultimate technician! Pleasure to meet'cya!"
(calm)
"EVERYBODY CALM DOWN!! There must be a way out of here!"
(motherly)
"what the fuck?! these cameras!!! I cant fucking hack em!"
(frusterated)
