Gacharonpa: Killers Core

Project Overview

The very first season of Gacharonpa: Killers Core!

Kenji Yogon is a 19 year old college student with one goal in mind: to become the Ultimate Actor! Once he gets accepted into Labyrinth Academy-- things take a turn for the worst. Join Kenji and his journey of fear to leadership... and learning to trust those around him.

Killers Core is a gacharonpa series that started 6 years ago. One day, I looked back at all of the old Killers Core episodes and unlisted them off the platform due to me hating the writing and editing of the series. This video and the others related is a stepping stone for me, something I can look back on and smile, knowing how well I’ve improved editing wise and writing wise. I made the first two seasons of Killers Core alone, but I made Escape Killers Core and Killers Core: Aftermath Hell, with a dear friend of mine, who I’ve unfortunately lost contact with over the years. This time, I am revamping the Killers Core series, the series that once gave my channel spotlight, the coherent story it deserves, now with a new, talented friend who is able to do the things I cannot, Your_Average, or Average, for short. (The gal next to me in the disclaimers!).

    BONUS FTE w/ Ophelia and Zia!: Gacharonpa: Killers Core || Zia & Ophelia! [FTE 1]

    Note, more characters have more development than others so far in these earlier episodes but I think they're deserving to watch to really get a feel on the vibe and language used throughout this show.

    Comment and like those videos! Engagement is good and I can see the effort you're putting in! :)

  • What to expect:

    This gacha series was made back in the year of 2019... phew! Quite a long time! I started Season One and Two completely alone and by the Third Season, I got one of my closest friends to help me out! S3 gave me "popularity" and I slowly let it die as the years go on. What can I say though? Creating ronpas is my fixation and I knew I'd come back to the first series that gave me this gift.

    Everything is pretty much planned out. I write scripts in chunks, so by the time one episode has been made, another script would've already been created. I will do my best to get lines out to VAs as soon as possible. This means that the trial lines could easily be done before the investigation episode is even uploaded! What I plan not to do is have everything done before I give out lines. This way, VAs have plenty of time to submit.

    I didn't specify much about character voice tones and that was on purpose! I don't want people to be held back! Just a reminder that these are college students! Many are 18-19 years old with the exception of Lina, who's 20.

Male, Protagonist, Ultimate Actor.

Must be able to scream, cry, & hyperventilate.

A young and bright future actor! He’s a little bit awkward at first, mostly accidentally saying the wrong things, but he gets along with people quickly. He’s helpful to anyone, even if they don’t deserve it. He tends to get dragged around a lot as a result.

Voice description:
  • male young adult
  • It's awful. I feel so exposed. Afraid. I've known these people– my classmates– for four months. I feel like I can hardly trust them! Asher and Annalise are fighting and Cyrus feels too awkward around them and they're the only ones I trust to be around! If they don’t want to be around each other, we're less safe! We’re safer in numbers!

  • Senior year. my friends wanted to ‘go off with a bang’. Managed to get some weed. I tried it and then got so scared I called the cops on myself.

  • Okay… okay! You got this. You’re Kenji Yogon. You’re the Ultimate Actor! You can put on a brave face! You can face danger head on! You GOT this! If mom survived this game, YOU will survive! YOU will see her again! YOU GOT THIS! WOO!

Antagonist, Unique Voice.

Lina Ouma's voice is the most picky I'll be with. If you're a man who can do both a female and male voice, that would be perfect for this role. Her voice sounds damaged and annoying.

Lina is the embodiment of chaos! No one can truly predict her moves, and she seems to have little care for the people around her, including herself. But she has plenty of tricks up her sleeve, and is willing to get her way.. anyway she can.

Voice description:
  • female young adult
  • male young adult
  • Uh- oh! You didn’t say Ms. Ouma! That's not very polite of you!

  • See! Told you he was dead.

  • So brave of you! You’re not a shut-in! Gosh, imagine what your mommy thinks. She must think she raised a PUSSY! She didn't stay in her room all day, waiting for the killing game to just pass, didn't she?

Main Support, Male, Ultimate Vindicator.

He is the most determined person ever. He tends to try and make every feel okay, and yet wants justice for things that aren’t right. He’s not afraid to get down and dirty to do what’s right, even if it’s his friends who are in the wrong.

Voice description:
  • male young adult
  • If I were you… I'd go out there! I'd get to know your classmates more personally! Get friendly with everyone! It’ll be better for you.

  • I get that you get excited around legacy’s to the school, but you're killing your chances here.

  • Woah woah, I did not say that, Mr. Yogon. Take it easy. Deep breaths... okay. You got this, dude. You just need to prove me wrong. You know, rage was one of my best motivators.

Wallflower, Male

He’s very reserved, mostly keeping to himself but there is a destructive side to him, even if he doesn’t realize he’s doing it half the time. He follows Farah around a lot, as she gives him plenty of advice.

Voice description:
  • male young adult
  • It isn't? My dad always told me I had to tell him everything. It keeps him calm.

  • Do you think our fates are our own? Or do we control our own lives?

  • It's... it’s fine. My family history has never really been the best. But that’s a story for another time.

Female, The Curmudgeon, Ultimate Scientist.

This is a very loud role.

She is the most aggravated person ever. She’s very flinchy, talks quite fast, and thinks other humans are just ‘lab subjects’. She tends to be quite bossy.

Voice description:
  • female young adult
  • Heh! I’m the next genius of the century! Harper Irwin, Ultimate Scientist. Erm, more specifically Chemical Engineering. But scientist is shorter to say.

  • What do you want?! Why are you bothering me?!

Female, Gossip, Ultimate Vlogger

She has a very dragging vocal fry.

She is very.. blah, to say the least. She speaks in an annoyed, slow, dragged out tone with the most teenager voice you could ever hear. She’s addicted to the dopamine that her followers give, and will do anything for validation if someone gives it to her. She's way nicer than she seems.

Voice description:
  • female young adult
  • THERES! NO! SIGNALLLLLL!!!!!!!!

  • You’re offending me. I’d cancel you on Twitter if I honestly gave a shit about that.

  • Clean girl aesthetic… a makeup trend with roots of misogyny. Men like women with no makeup but they don’t know what that looks like. It's a shame. It's made makeup more boring now. Though I can appreciate the little things, like, the illusion of a no makeup clean face. Getting a foundation that matches your skin is not an easy feat.

Male, Rebel, Ultimate Storm Chaser

This is a loud role.

He is very ‘out there’, going into danger head first, but still is calculated in his moves, even if it doesn’t seem like it. Somewhat hard to get along with though, as he can be quite stubborn.

Voice description:
  • male young adult
  • There’s been plenty of times where I haven’t been confident or I’ve been just cowardly. But I’ve grown out of that stage. I have to take life head on! Storms have helped me overcome fears and they’ve made me appreciate life more. Oh! There it is! Incredible, isn’t it?

  • You’re lucky you don’t have hair, man. Sometimes the wind can make it feel like your hair is pulling out of your skin!

  • Pfft, isn’t everything? Besides, it’s not JUST dangerous. It’s fun as shit too.

Female, Mentor, Ultimate Faith

Unlike the most of the cast whose race is ambiguous/no official race, Farah is confirmed to be Yemen and may or may not speak Arabic? Haven't decided yet, so please disclaim if you can or cannot speak the language.

She’s very calm, very intelligent, and soft. She doesn’t particularly make enemies and tries to help out others when she can. She can’t see very well, almost on the verge of blindness, but that doesn’t stop her from being her. She's one of the few who has an ambiguous Ultimate. What does it truly mean to be the Ultimate Faith? Is it based off her religion or something else entirely? How will she keep up with the pressure?

Voice description:
  • modern standard arabic
  • female young adult
  • I travel to a lot of countries, mostly spreading my word while helping the communities. Some get skeptical of my faith, but that’s alright with me. My main goal really is to help out struggling communities in their time of need. There are a… lot of wars. Much more recently. Not many are covered by the news, so they don’t get much help. I strive to give them faith back in the world and try to get them on their feet.

  • Don’t be, Kenji. Nobody is inferior to anybody. We are all equal to Allah. Anyone can do good if they desire it.

  • Sometimes you will have knowledge about others that they don’t know about. You have to determine if that truth is necessary or if it will only hurt people. Did Kenji really need to know that the only reason he's in this school was because he was a legacy student?

She’s like a firecracker, at one moment she’s completely calm and the next, she’s a burst of energy, either being super angry or super happy. She’s quite bold.

Female, Samaritan, Ultimate Cheerleader.

Loud role

She seems quite scary at first, quite silent, but once you speak to her, she is the most open, excited, happy girl, and talking to her can give you a calm and happy effect. She cares more about people than herself.

Voice description:
  • female young adult
  • Give me an O! Give me a P! Give me an H-E-L-I-A! What does that spell? Ophelia, of course! Ophelia Wynter, Ultimate Cheerleader!

  • Yeah! Goth is all about the politics! Most alternative cultures are all about politics. Punk, Metal, hell even Scene has politics. It’s usually just a coincidence that you listen to the music. I could very easily be considered goth even if I didn’t dress this way. Goth is all about personal freedom, acceptance of the weirdos and the queerdos and most importantly, holding self expression sacred. That’s really important.

  • Don’t be so stupid, of course the killing game is awful! I have all the time in the world to panic about that! Nothing good comes from panicking, though. My mama always said that if you spend any time thinking about an action instead of going for it, it will always lay dormant in your mind! It’ll grow! Like a weed! And soon enough, you’ll never experience life!

Female, Secondary Support, Ultimate Historian.

Be able to talk fast.

Optional: able to do a Ukrainian accent (majority of her role, she will not speak with that accent, but for a specific part she will/might)

She’s quite quiet around people other than her friends, yet calculated. If you talk to her about history— specifically about the past killing games, she will burst into joy and talk about her fixation. She can also be hot headed.

Voice description:

  • Books are the foundation of humanity! It allows us to connect to our past, allows us to reach out towards the future!

  • Let’s explore the library! I’m sure there are cool books there! Gotta be!!

  • Fuck OFF, Asher! History is one of the most important subjects! Have you never heard the phrase “those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it”?!

Male, Dreamer, Ultimate Detective.

He’s very cocky, guessing people’s personalities and names off of just ‘looking at them’. He disregards people unless they beg for his help. There's more to him, though, as it seems his cockiness may be just a beg for attention?

Voice description:
  • male young adult
  • The weapon was a pistol, I’m sure of it. I investigated his room and found it laying on the ground. It was missing a bullet but the weapon was cold when I picked it up. I assume his death was quick and his culprit was quicker. Who discovered the body first?

  • Congratulations! You aren't going to do what some political evil guy did in the 18-hundred-whatever!

  • Talkin’ about that girl you were chasing around? I could beat her in anything and everything too. I have the best Ultimate after all.

He is quite a chill person, not really caring too much. That’s mostly because he snuck weed gummies and blunts into the school. He always seems ‘out of it’. Surely it's the drug use, right?

  • Ultimate Graffiti Artist, ya know. I’ll have my name drawn out in those unreadable letters… hehhhh. Oh yeah, you don’t know me. Ahhh, Cryus. Torres- Cryus Torres. Haha, now you know me.

  • I wanted to create something that harmonizes us. Makes the viewer look at the painting and think that we were there for each other. To make people feel… loved.

  • Our fates are just… determined. I don’t like that thought. I don’t… like being controlled.

  • This is the classic run of the mill killing game! In order to escape this place, you must kill AND get away with it! You’re only allowed to kill ONE person and after the body has been discovered, you will have 1 hour to investigate! After the time is up, a trial will commence! I’ll explain the trial a bit more later. Any questions?

  • My scanners say he’s paranoid. He certainly would put up some fight if it happened.

  • Gooodddd~ morning! It's now 7:00 AM, December 17th! I hope you're getting out of bed and enjoying yourself, dear Ultimates!~ because this is all you’re ever going to see for a while. Unless of course, you kill! Ahaha!~
