Melty Blood: Type Lumina || ENGLISH FANDUB
Project Overview
This is a fandub of the recent entry of the Melty Blood series, "Melty Blood: Type Lumina." As someone who's been pretty into Melty Blood and fighting games as a whole, it confused me why Type Lumina (and, in extension, Under Night In-Birth) never got an English dub to begin with so screw it! Let's make a fandub for this game! This will be a mod for the game that will, eventually release. This will include lines for all modes!
To audition, you must be 16+. Any format works too!
Every auditioner may only get casted as one potential character unless mentioned accordingly. This is mainly to avoid double casting. A Discord must be provided under each audition as it is where the majority of the resources will be.
Good luck and have fun!!
As of 12/19/2025: The deadline for the auditions has been pushed back to a later date, ending on February 14th, 2026.
As of 4/2/2026: The deadline has been pushed back...again. Oops. This is mainly due to the fact that there wasn't enough auditions for the female characters.
Voice Actor
A royal member of the vampire race known as the True Ancestors. After suffering through a traumatic event, a naively innocent side of her was somehow released. She now lives as a free-spirited, almost childish, princess. She is incredibly powerful and, despite being a vampire, is able to survive in direct sunlight. She has no desire to threaten human society, instead hunting other vampires known as Dead Apostles. While pursuing her greatest enemy, she arrives in Souya, where Shiki lives. Although a fateful encounter awaits her and Shiki here, a story of an earlier possibility is about to unfold. (Shares a voice with Red Arcueid and Neco-Arc. Neco-Arc isn't a necessary audition.)

"Sorry, but your chances of winning were zero. Maybe try again in your next life."
"Ahh, that felt great! Like that feeling you get standing under a blue sky after deflecting a missile, you know? Not that I've ever done anything like that before, mind you."
"Still not giving up? Fine... I'll just have to crush you a little harder next time. You know, like a vampire."
Voice Actor
After the death of her father, she inherits the role of leader of the Tohno family, a distinguished house in Souya. One year younger than her brother Shiki, she arranged for his return from the Arima family. Her flawless etiquette and bearing perfectly epitomize the daughter of a noble house. She is strict even on herself, rejecting such things as modern-day amusements and frivolity. Because of her prideful and strong-willed nature, many find her difficult to approach. Sensing a mysterious presence in her town, and determined to uphold the Tohno family name, she sets off into the night to investigate...

"How boring. I've seen enough. There is no reason to continue."
"I'm even more impressive than I thought. If I'm this good, there's no reason to ever refuse to fight."
"Well, that was a productive use of my time. Do take care."
Voice Actor
The Holy Church, a major religion in Europe, does not take kindly to heresy. Ciel works as an executor for its specialized force known as the Burial Agency. Her calling? Hunting and destroying heretics in the name of the Lord. Like Arcueid, she wishes to destroy her mortal enemy and has come to Souya in search of him, deciding to blend in by posing as a regular student at the same high school as Shiki. She currently attends school as a senior, one year above Shiki, and is quite popular with many of the students there. They see her as both warm and cheerful. Her go-to lunch from the school shop is curry bread, and her favorite restaurant serves the best curry in town. (Shares a voice with Powered Ciel.)

"The more you resist, the more it's going to hurt. How many times is it going to take before you learn your lesson?"
"Holy Father, your will shall be done. There! All finished! Being an executioner sure works up an appetite! Time to head over to Messiaen!"
"This fight has gone on long enough. You should use the time you have left to repent."
Voice Actor
A maid for the Tohno family, responsible for household chores (except cooking) and taking care of Shiki. She is Kohaku's younger twin. Unlike her sister, she is known for wearing more modern, non-traditional clothing. Her quiet nature makes her true feelings difficult to read, and her formal way of speaking has led Shiki to see her as being rather mechanical. Her fighting skills are not quite on the same level as her sister, but she holds her own well enough.

"You should fix that temper of yours. Learning some proper manners would be good for you."
"Oh, my. I am terribly sorry. I'm not very comfortable with others touching me..."
"You seemed as if you wanted an earnest fight, so I did not hold back. Was it satisfactory, Lady Akiha?"
Voice Actor
She and her twin sister Hisui have worked for the Tohno family since they were young. Her trademark outfit is an apron over a classic kimono. Apart from assisting Akiha, she does household chores and tends the garden. Her pharmaceutical knowledge means she is also responsible for Shiki when he falls ill. She is endlessly cheerful, always willing to help, and wears a constant smile. In battle, Kohaku can be seen wielding the sword she keeps hidden in her broom,calling on strange plants, and even dropping fire bombs from above as if by magic. How she is capable of such things is still a mystery to those around her.

"An overwhelming victory for me! See?! I can win even without Hisui's help!"
"That was rather dangerous. Such behavior should be discarded like the previous night's refuse!"
"Please use the main entrance next time. That way I might give you an even warmer welcome."
Voice Actor
Head of the Kishima clan, a branch of the Tohno family. He is half demon. Even among mixed-bloods, his demon blood is strong, making him only barely human. Usually very quiet, he chooses to live as a hermit in a remote area of the mountains where he seeks to achieve spiritual enlightenment. Because of this, he often speaks of worldly ties and spirituality. His demeanor in battle, however, reflects his innate strength and demon blood. His ability to use Scorching Heat means those in his way are often burned to ash.

"There is nothing innately good or bad about killing. It's arrogant to assume you must define what is evil."
"Am I looking for an assistant? No, but I'll be happy to give you a nice send-off. It may be a bit crude, though."
"What was that? An ape is more evolved than you are."
Voice Actor
The eldest daughter of the Arima branch family, which took Shiki in as a child. Currently in the fifth grade, she sees herself as Shiki's other sister. Her feelings are easy to see as she always wears her heart on her sleeve. She unabashedly adores her kind, quiet older "brother", but whenever he is near, she becomes so nervous she can barely speak. This continued for many years until Shiki was suddenly called back to the Tohno family, and Miyako did not take the news well. She learned bajiquan by observing others in her family's dojo, though it now sits unused. Although she was nowhere near the skill of a true martial artist, her abilities quickly flourish in the ensuing battles. Her destructive powers make it hard to believe she is only 11 years old.

"Hah! Hyah! Take that! Well?! Had enough?! With my bajiquan skills, no second strike is needed!"
"Perfection! I am perfection! This is the result of my daily Kung Fu training!"
"Hold on, how is it I can change direction in mid-air? Oh well, probably better not to think about it."
Voice Actor
She recently transferred to Shiki's school as a new teacher. She metes out judgment to all blasphemers as an executor for the Holy Church. She may not have the battle experience Ciel does, but she's prepared to fight. Whenever faced with a weak opponent, she shows no mercy, claiming to be "weak against the strong, but overwhelmingly strong against the weak". At school, she exploits her appeal as an older woman to gain popularity with the boys. The girls, however, don't seem to like her. Judging from the way she idolizes love and marriage, it's safe to say she doesn't have much luck with either. (Shares a voice with Dead Apostle Noel.)

"Eeek! That was a really close one! I was so scared! There, that should be good for hose degenerates in the church I work with And... send."
"Holy Father, your will shall be done. Such a convenient little phase, don't you think?"
"What? No way! I've been had?! Have you got the flu or something, Ciel?!"
Voice Actor
A vampire seen known as the "Serpent of Akasha" or the "Infinite Reincarnator." Former priest of the Holy Church. He can manipulate information and electricity at will. The story of Roa appearing in Souya that came to him predicts the possibilities he might have had following a chance encounter with Arcueid and Shiki.

"Order up! Who wanted the charred corpse?! There are plenty more strays in the back alley where this one come from!"
"As thanks for allowing me to enjoy myself, I shall give you a proper human burial. Be grateful you do not have to experience burial by fire or lightning."
"Still trying to say we're different? You and I are the same! Just look! Everything we touch ends up in pieces!"
Voice Actor
For some reason, this Dead Apostle from the frozen lands of the far north has arrived in the city of Souya. Vlov is already starved of warmth and must feed on blood for heat, which he can then consume in order to create flames. In battle, he can switch from Flame Mode to Ice Mode when in danger. In this mode, Vlov's abilities expand exponentially, granting him nearly unrivaled strength.

"I'm afraid you're not even worth remembering. Now feel the cold chill of death."
"The word 'knight' has a nice ring to it, don't you think? My opponents are usually wolves or bears, so sorry, I have no intention of learning how to negotiate."
"So warm... Your blood feels hot enough to burn bone..."
Voice Actor
Due to the effects of coming back from a "certain accident," her vampiric impulses and overwhelming desires have taken over. Driven by instinct, she arrives in a lowly human city. Controlled by pure emotion, her actions and words are quite dangerous, but her underlying personality remains mostly unchanged. The only big difference is her increased selfishness and changed attitude toward humans.

"Is that all you've got? Then I will go ahead and put you out of your misery."
"This body is just about at its limit. How disappointing. Isn't there anyone who can kill me again?"
"Hehehe. So much bouncing around. I just love fighting with my own hands and feet. It's like a nice game of hacky sack."
Voice Actor
Real name: Altria Pendragon. A knight with braided blonde hair, shining blue and silver armor, and a somewhat cold attitude. She is well-known from the legends of King Arthur, wielder of the holy sword Excalibur who founded the Knights of the Round Table. Somehow, she has appeared in this world without the use of a summoning ritual. She now searches Souya for answers to this mystery.

"This must be some sort of divine providence. I shall lend you my strength if you wish."
"There do not seem to be any other servants here. I only hope I was not left behind..."
"EXCALIBUUUR!!"
Voice Actor
A certain executor who has become a dead apostle. She now appears as a girl at her most lovely, who has also acquired the Mystic Eyes of Roses in addition to the abilities of a dead apostle. She is able to forcefully remove the soul of her target and lock them away in her Mystic Eyes of Roses, where they experience an unending nightmare. Not only that, but she is also able to manipulate a large number of spears (bells) in a battle style evocative of a dancing butterfly. (Shares a voice with Noel.)

"Aww, dead already? I wanted to play with you some more... Ha! Just kidding. You're so weak, you're not even worth toying with!"
"Nostalgia can be a double-edged sword. Once you grow up, the memories of happier times can cut you deeper than any blade."
"Huh? That's weird... I thought you were supposed to be practically invincible? It shouldn't take you any time at all to regenerate from something like this. Hurry up and get back on your feet so I can kill you again!"
Voice Actor
One of only five magicians who exist in the world. Successor to the Fifth Magician. Overall, she is not considered a skilled magician. However, when it comes to "destructive" power, she is unrivaled in her talents. The sight of her raining down bullets like hot geysers has also given her the direct, yet rather tasteless nickname, "Magic Gunner". Who she learned it from is unknown, but she is also familiar with martial arts, and has a battle style that could be considered a hybrid of those martial arts and magic. She encountered Shiki on her travels. She gives him his glasses that suppress his Mystic Eyes, and teaches him the value of living things and how to handle things. For that reason, Shiki respects her and calls her his teacher. She's a difficult person to pin down. She believes in justice, is unreliable, and a vagabond.

"That's that, then. Maybe we'll meet again, if fate decrees it."
"Mm-mmm! That felt great! Thanks for the workout! My stiff shoulders feel nice and loose now."
"It's too bad there aren't so many music stores around anymore. I'm really in the mood for a new guitar, one of those electric blue ones they had in the eighties..."
Voice Actor
An Acting Prelate of the Holy Church. A pretty boy with blonde hair and fair skin, Mario tends to dress casually. Although he may not appear so, he holds a position of great responsibility while still in in his his early early teens. He detests the inept and indolent, and often lashes out verbally, but he is also a compassionate, dutiful person at his core. His talents in assessing character and abilities, his skillful balancing of hard and soft power, his leadership and ability to use resources to control the game, and his fighting style using a Piano Machine to control nuns like marionettes, have all earned him the nickname "Mario the Puppeteer."

"It's nice to be so young. Honor does not apply to me and I can shamelessly ask adults for help beating people up."
"Technique will only get you so far. We all have things we can't do ourselves. So why not force others to take up the slack?"
"Don't look so confused. I know all about you and what you can do. I planned this out in excruciating detail long in advance."
Voice Actor
Ciel, outfitted to face the twenty-seven Dead Apostles and enemies in the same class, using the conceptual weapon "Seventh Holy Scripture" broken down into individual causes of death. She makes constant use of the "Seventh Holy Scripture," a millennium-class holy relic. While it drains an enormous amount of magical energy, it is a viable battle style for Ciel, who has the magical power of a hundred magi. Her main attacks often use weaponry, in the style of "Blaze," "Blade," and "Break," and her heavy armament features both brute force and magical enhancements. Perhaps due to her specialization in destroying heretics, she is even more cold and unforgiving than usual.

"Elimination complete. Shifting armaments to ground state. Proceeding to next target."
"Blaze, Blade, Break. These three make up my core arms. How did you like them?"
"Whatever your original intentions, you're a part of this now. I'd recommend laying low for a few nights. What do you say?"
Voice Actor
A mysterious creature that is a cat, yet also is not. She looks a bit similar to Arcueid, but no one knows if she has any connection to the real Arcueid. She sometimes appears in the mortal world as a sort of personal pastime. She doesn't get along with Miyako's spirit realm, claiming she views it with rivalry, and vanished with the unsettling words "The Cat Strikes Back!" But none of that has any bearing on the current situation. Now, she has appeared on the fighting stage again in an invasion of the Melty Blood universe, accompanied by powerful characters, drawn inevitably by her destiny. A playful cat that abides by no rules, regardless of what anyone has to say about it. Souya's destiny, and that of the entire Melty Blood universe... (Shares a voice with Arcueid Brunestud and Red Arcueid. It isn't necessary to audition for the others.)

In combat, she is excellent on defense and agile, using an immense shield much larger than she is. She also has strikes and throws using her shield, as well techniques like kicks that launch her entire body from her shield. In this title, an unforeseen error during Rayshifting brings her to an unintended destination, into a nest of mysterious creatures in a world she knows nothing about.

"Category: threat to humanity... I must fight you."
"Yes! I'll do my best, just leave it to me!"
"You came, not from many stories but just a single one, a story not set in Chaldea, right? You're radiant."
Voice Actor
The youthful form of the swordswoman who later stunned the world as Minamoto-no-Yoshitsune.
Her Servant Class is Rider. Training to become a samurai at a young age, she met the onmyoji Kiichi Hougen and was granted the arts of war. With the arts of war added to her natural physical abilities and skill with the blade, she grew into a peerless warrior. However, this caused her elder brother, Minamoto-no-Yoritomo, to distrust her and her life came to a tragic end alongside her retainer Benkei. In battle, Ushiwakamaru dashes about with few restrictions, making dazzling use of her versatility. However, in some situations she is prone to saying "it all ends if the enemy general falls," forcing her Master and Mash to dash after her. Upon being summoned from the Throne of Heroes, she saw not Chaldea, but the Japan of the 21st century. It is the opening of a new chapter of The Wandering Tale of Shana-oh.

Voice Actor
Real name: Edmond Dantès. Shrouded with wrathful, blue-black flames, the Count of Monte Cristo himself is the most renowned "Avenger" in the world. His wrath and vengeance are directed toward "irrationality and malice," and never toward innocent people. He was recorded in the Throne of Heroes as combined with the character in his eponymous novel and materialized as the Extra Class Avenger. He acknowledged Chaldea's Master, saying "while commonplace, you crush the machinations of evil," and forged a contract. Subsequently, he took root in the depths of his Master's spirit as a co-conspirator in deceiving and scorning the irrationality of this world, and plays an important role in shielding that spirit from malice. With the spiritual strength and quickness of thought honed at Château d'If where he was once sealed, he is skilled in incredibly quick unarmed combat using superhuman physical abilities, as well as his all-consuming black flames.
