In our world, stars are a symbol of hope. It has been seen time and time again in ancient scripts, metaphors, etc. But due to light pollution, the stars are harder and harder to see. Almost as if they’re disappearing entirely, because of our actions. This is where DuskBornes come into play, miscellaneous teenagers from around the globe. Chosen by the Gods themself to protect the fragile remnants of stardust that’s dragged into our atmosphere, and launch it back into space, where it can spread hope further to more people.

Break legs everyone!
Tsubone, or better known as "Eris" In mythology, is the Deity of deceit. She is not one of the creators, residing in the subspace beyond time. She doesn't take pleasure out of tricking humans, but rather it is just her nature. She's in charge of managing the Dusk borne's. Making sure they don't get too close to the truth and that they fulfill their duties. She's very cold, cruel, and calculating. feeling no empathy for others, Similar to that of Kyubey from madoka magica. She's always in control and is a master of manipulation. She's been handling the Dusk borne's since the dawn of their existence. She drafts the contracts and tricks them into fulfilling the demands. Keeping close watch over them.
Medium-low female voice, calculating and perhaps seductive.
[Fake sincerity, false gentleness, manipulative] "What a hard life you've had child.. No adult should hurt a child like this. You're too young to know this horror.. I feel.. deep sorrow for you."
[irritated, displeased] "I told you, to stop meddling. If you keep up your hints jester we'll have to start all over again."
[cunning, cruel] "How cute. A daemon, and an Angel. Are you having fun? Toying with a warrior. This is truly unexpected"
Haruhi attends the same school Airi went to, and is shown to be being abused and bullied by a group of delinquents. Her being in a toxic "relationship" with a boy who is essentially trafficking her to pay for his sisters cancer treatments. We find out that her mother passed away and her father is an alcoholic. Similar to Kiyomi, she neglects to recharge her emotions. making her very cold and critical, even coming off as a bit cruel. She truly despises other people, seeing only the bad in them. She's a bit of a loner and doesn't act in accord of the group often. Though for some reason, it would seem she can't die, at least not of her own hand.. I wonder why that is..
medium-low, flat voice
Please note; This character endures s/a, extreme bullying, extortion, self harm, abuse, and suicide attempts over the course of the story. if this is disturbing to you, please do not audition.
[Flat, quiet] "I know who you are Tsune, that's not what I asked you. I asked why you followed me. You shouldn't interfere with the lives of those you don't know."
[Sincere, gentle] "I'm sure she would be happy to hear that.. it sounds like all she ever wanted was to be loved. of course that's just a guess.."
[weeping, shocked] "I've never felt this way before, is this what love is? Is this what it feels like to be loved?"
Airi is an internet famous streamer, who’s been a Duskborne the longest out of all of them. She dropped out of school after getting horribly bullied for her looks and lives hoarded up in her dirty room. She goes out every night and fights embers, looking for information about other Dusk Bornes, and making charts on them. She aims to connect them all, waiting for the right moment out of subconscious anxiety that they won't get along. She’s shown to be extremely tech savvy. She has a fear of being left alone and is very attached to Yuna, Yuna being her first real friend. Airi has heterochromia, and is seen as not very attractive. because of this she wears contacts, a wig, and "cosplay" esque makeup, dressing in a YamiKawaii style. She's very energetic and a bit childish, putting on a joyful display for her audience.
Medium-High pitched female voice
Please note, This characters backstory has in depth recollections of bullying, self harm, psychiatric evaluations, depression, cleptomania and anxiety. Please do not audition if this bothers you.
[Happy, then a bit embarrassed] "Oh! Oh my god hi! Kyomi, hey what's up haha-.. Oh you- No yeah I do still have those tracking devices i'll send it over.."
[Emotional] "She's the first friend i've ever had.. I didn't know people could be as nice as her. She knows what I look like but she doesn't care, she actually likes me!"
[Manic, Screaming,] "If you all hate me so much! then I guess should just die! Would that be better for you?!"
Mizuki is a magical girl attending a different school, shown to be slut shamed for her promiscuous past. She’s very aggressive and taunting, making an enemy out of Aoi quickly when their paths cross. Although she identifies as a lesbian, she has no issues with manipulating or sleeping with men to get what she wants. this stems from a deep self hatred, and self sacrificing behaviors. She believes she's a horrible worthless person who deserves to be punished. She's very attractive, falling into the Kogal gyaru subtype of fashion. Deep down, she is a caring person. She provides heavily for her younger brother, being a maternal figure for him. She contributes to the group and deeply wants to help, to prove herself useful.
Medium-low, assertive female voice.
Please note, This character has a past including being a victim of s/a, and actions against an abuser resorting in death. She is shown to be a bully, and also be bullied by her peers. If you are uncomfortable with any of this please do not audition.
[Irritated, snarky] "What are you staring at? Weirdo."
[flat, exhausted] "This is stupid. All of this is stupid. We're never getting out of here. They're just gonna kill us and set everything back to how it was. We'll never win."
[Distressed, Upset, Yelling] "Stop it! Stop acting like I'm Junko! I'm not her and I'll never be her Kiyomi. If that's the only reason that you've saved my ass all these times, then I should just die!! Because clearly, me on my own, will never be good enough for you!!"
Yuna is a disabled young girl who is hospital ridden due to extensive surgery. She’s established to have a past with Tsune, and Aoi. As they interact in the beginning. And she is referred to many times by them. She is unwillingly signed into being a Duskborne by Tsune, feeling confused and overwhelmed by the transformation. She is some what of a "mentee" to Airi, a Senior Duskborne. She's a very quiet, well mannered girl. She is very timid, kind and understanding. But, despite her timid nature, she will stand up for herself and her rights. Making it clear that she wanted to beat her disabilities on her own, not have it handled by some sketchy gods.
High pitched, softer, female voice
Please note, this character is chronically ill and suffers from anxiety attacks. if this bothers you, please do not audition.
[Upset, Distressed] "What are you talking about! We can't just leave them here Aoi- They're still alive!!"
[Genuine, Kind] "I don't like goodbye's.. I thought we were friends, that's what you want right? So then let's be friends! You have my number, so call me, ok?"
[Serious, a bit uncomfortable] "Tsune.. Yes, all my disabilities, caused me a lot of suffering. But I wanted to beat it on my own, even if I'd never be normal.. I wanted to prove to myself that I was just as strong and capable as you. But you ruined that."
Kiyomi is a very mysterious character, we don't learn much about her till later on. It’s established that Kiyomi sits next to Mizuki in class, being very quiet and reserved. She doesn’t like Mizuki much, But is inclined to help her due to the request of her deceased friend Junko. She projects Junko onto Mizuki, making for a very toxic dynamic between the two. She's burdened with guilt over Junko's death. Her greatest "ailment" was the death of Junko, but as one cannot bring the dead back to life --- her suffering was relieved by binding their souls, forcing Junko's spirit to be tied to Kyomi instead of moving on. Kyomi is haunted by Junko, being the only one able to communicate with her. Kiyomi has a hoard of ember fragments in her house, unused. She purposely doesn’t refill her emotions. Because of this she is very cold and critical. She doesn't value emotions much, and her actions come off as very impulsive/confusing.
She has a medium-low softer voice, very flat affect, think homura akemi.
Please note; This characters backstory has mentions of s/a, emotional abuse, neglect, isolation, depression, suicide, and grooming. if you are uncomfortable with any of this please do not audition.
[Flat, Serious] You really shouldn't smoke you know. It's bad for you. Your lungs will rot away.
[Furious] Don't touch that! What the hell is wrong with you coming into someone else's house and touching their shit, God!
[Quiet, emotional] She was the only one who understood. And I failed her. I knew what was happening, what he was doing to her. But I didn't say anything. Then when she came to me, begging for help, I turned her away. It's my fault she killed herself that day.
Aoi is established as our main character's best friend (Tsune Tachibana). It is made clear through interactions that Aoi is in love with Tsune, but with context clues. We quickly find out Aoi’s "ailment reversal" was to be a man. Making him transgender. Tsune still adresses him as “Aoi chan” – signifying that Tsune has not yet accepted his change. He takes this personally, visibly showing discomfort and shame about the label. Despite this he sticks with Tsune, wanting to be seen as her hero. Despite being an INFP personality type, he can be very straightforward and confrontational when necessary. He is unapologetically himself, and will not be taken advantage of. He's extremely emotionally intelligent, is very cooperative and easy to work with.
Medium - high male voice. Will also settle for gender ambiguous voice.
Please note, this character does suffer from schizophrenia. They are seen consuming pills and suffer from extreme paranoia as well as other disturbing behaviors. If you are uncomfortable with this, please do not audition.
[Uncomfortable, a bit annoyed] "I'm sorry but I really don't see how this is our problem. We barely know her. If she's that upset over the outcome of the battle then maybe she's not fit to be a DuskBorne."
[Sympathetic, down to buisness] "We can't save everyone. What's important is that we help the ones with a chance"
[Angry, Overwhelmed] "Shut up! You're trying to manipulate me again!! You already fooled me once you're not getting to me again!"
Deity of time, Not one of the creators. Lives in the subspace, a land beyond time and physics. A true neutral being, obeying under the command of the star father. In control of time, the process of time, and resetting the timeline. In one version of events, He ends up falling in love with Haruhi, due to this. He now watches over her, protecting her from death, rewinding the effects on her body. he is a gentle being, not feeling strongly about anything either which way. He has a curiosity for humans, behaving positively towards them and not having any malicious intent for them.
Medium pitched male voice, soft, sort of ethereal. Think Satan/Ryo from Devil man crybaby.
Inspired by the greek Deity of time/the process of death, Moros.
[Soft, curious] How odd.. I don't think you little ones are supposed to be here.. I doubt Tsubone would like this.
[Worried, anxious] I couldn't watch you repeat your fate again, so I intervened. This might be the end for me, but I just cannot stand to do this all again.
[Reminiscing, lovestruck, heartbroken] Yes.. I suppose love is what I felt for her. The most beautiful soul i'd ever seen, her energy was like a delicate song, fading into a despondent sonata.. I hope one day I'll be able to hear her voice mutter those sweet praises to me again.
The "Jester" Deity, A being of chaos and discord. He's a neutral figure, purely acting of his own accord (occasionally on orders). When he feels inclined to help he'll often speak in riddles instead of offering real insight. He has no empathy, and purely acts on entertainment.
Medium-high male voice
[Teasing, Light hearted] Heyyy! Watch out! He's gonna get youuuuu! God you're SOOOO slow...
[Serious, mischievous] The heart of a pharaoh, who rots in a jar, hopes of an after but lay it be far. The children who cry for a better tomorrow, Crucify those that deal out their sorrow. Coffins layed out marked the angels above Hourglass turned to protect his beloved. Send out the call and your fate will be sealed Sometimes in life, to win is to yield.
