NEXUS 2.0
Project Overview
This project will consist of various comic dubs, animations, covers, etc. that correspond with my story Nexus. The premise of the story goes as follows:
In a world where supernatural abilities are called gifts, Utsu Sasaki uses her gift to aid a government organization called Nexus. Their goal is to wipe out Oasis, a group of gifted individuals who plan to cleanse the world by getting rid of anyone who is not gifted. However, Utsu must fight her twin brother in order for the goal of Nexus to be fulfilled.

Latest Updates

Hi there! Some new roles have been added, so give them a shot! I'm also still looking for Charlotte, Kaia, and Anaru as well as a variety of Extras. These characters do appear frequently in the series and are by no means less important than the rest! They are still very much needed to continue. Thanks!

Characters needed ASAP
The roles of KORO, CHARLOTTE, and GUNTHER are needed ASAP. If you haven't given them a shot, go for it! -
NEW ROLES
Hi there! Just wanted to say that I am opening up an "Extras" role for any background characters that might pop up. I am also looking for a composer and possibly video editor. I am doing everything besides the voice acting myself so this will hopefully lighten the load. KEEP IN MIND that all roles are important to the story, even if it says supporting, you will have lots of scenes because of the the limited cast. So with that in mind, I am looking to cast CHARLOTTE and GUNTHER next. -
Koro needed
Hello there! The role of Koro is now back up for auditions, if you have not given him a go, I would recommend it! -
Deadline
Hi there! I just thought I would mention that this project will remain open until all of the roles are cast!
Utsu: nexus
Twin sister to Koro, Utsu was always the perfect child. Perfect grades, smart, creative, helpful and just a good person in general. However she hates the attention she is showered in and would rather the attention go to her brother. During a battle with Koro, utsu discovers that she has the ability to manipulate the sun’s power and uses it to defeat her brother. Utsu can’t land the final blow and takes Koro to Oasis where she knows he will be safe. With her hometown destroyed and her parents dead, utsu is forced to live on the streets.
Hello there. I’m Utsu Sasaki, four star member of Nexus. My gift is what you would call solarkenisis. It allows me to manipulate the sun's properties such as heat and light. That's all for now, goodbye.
(Lacking confidence) I can't do it. I don't even know how to control my gift and you expect me to pull off such an important mission by myself? If I hadn't failed earlier that would be one thing, but this is something I can't do right now!
What about you guys, you’re only in this organization for your own selfish reasons. Maybe you deserve to be experimented on by the government. It would certainly do this whole city a favor since you haven’t gotten any closer to fulfilling your one and only purpose
Abandoned by his mother, Sin was taken in by a scientist who executed many experiments to try to awaken Sin’a ability. Sin eventually escapes the scientist but the scars from the experiments leave him an outcast in society. He resents his half brother, Hyde, for leaving him in his time of need. He has a lot of anger and easily lashes out.
Personality: cold, brutally honest, short tempered, conniving
Voice: low, slight rasp.
(normal talking voice) My name is Sin, I am a four star member of Nexus. My gift allows me to produce visual, auditory, and haptic illusions. I can also put people into a trance and enter their mind. That is all, now leave.
(Angry, but also hurt. Not quite shouting) Everywhere I go, I get turned away because of how I look. At the end of the day, all people care about is looks! No one cares about your personality at first sight
Somnium noctis ignis (an incantation)
Son of the founder of a high security prison for ability holders, Hyde’s upbringing was very lavish, but he lacked one thing: The attention of his father whom he looked up to. Hyde is looking for his half brother, Sin, to clear up a misunderstanding that occurred when they were kids.
Personality- playful, sadistic, flirtatious, flamboyant, manipulative (but that’s just in the beginning, you see different sides of him throughout the story)
Why hello there, my name is Reynard Hyde Judicael, but you can just call me Hyde. I’m a Four star member of Oasis. My gift allows me to manipulate time, but I’d rather not mess with the space time continuum, so I don’t time travel. Anywho I’d love to tell you more but it seems I’ve run out of TIME. Tata for now.
Insert time pun
I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO AUDITION FOR SHADOW AS WELL because they are pretty much the same voice/character.
Koro always felt like he was in his sister’s shadow and just wanted the attention of his parents. One day a heavenly being appears before him and grants him one wish. Clouded by rage, Koro wishes for the power to kill anyone who hurts him. With his wish granted, “Shadow” Takes over his body to fulfill Koro's wish. Koro can keep Shadow under control, but once Shadow grows too strong, Koro will disappear.
Personality- soft spoken, think akin to Shinji Ikari
Voice: soft and light.
Hi there, I’m Koro Sasaki, five star member of Oasis. Listen, you don’t want to talk to me for too long, otherwise... never mind. You'll find out, soon enough.
That THING does not deserve the right of a human name! It kills without conscience and wrecks havoc wherever it goes.
Utsu, my dear sister. Please forgive me for what I am about to do.
A god in disguise. In terms of demeanor, think Sukuna from jujutsu kaisen crossed with truth from full metal alchemist brotherhood. While he is “evil” and loves to play with people, he is capable of showing human emotion. In terms of voice, nothing cartoony or of the “typical monster” kind. Something “god-like”
You dare defy me? Alright, let's see just how long you can last against me.
I am but a vessel meant to carry out the wish of the owner. But I ask you this, am I truly evil?
A game huh, sounds like fun?
Play around with his voice.
go to great lengths to make sure that they are taken care of. However, his lack of communication in important matters causes many misunderstandings and conflict.
Personality: professional, caring, mysterious
Voice: Deep and commanding (Roy mustang English VA)

You know Utsu, you've been a real pain to deal with, I hated you from the moment you joined Nexus. You're too, perfect. As soon as you're gone I'll have my freedom and then I can live without this stupid curse.
It'll be fine you worry too much. What's the worst that could happen?
Think Estelle- AKA garnet from Steven universe

As a former marine, Anaru has all the training he needs. Anaru joined the military in order to send money to his family, but has cut ties with them otherwise to protect them. After getting caught using his ability during a mission, he gets kicked out. Akio hears of this incident and recruits him. He has an affinity for pottery and makes most of the cups, plates, etc. for the HQ
Anaru, three star member of Nexus reporting for duty. I look forward to working with you.
I understand that, but we can't afford to let anyone else get captured! Do really think we could face them with just the four of us?
For the past six months, those kids and that cafe... They were everything to me... Damnit damnit damnit! Utsu, I’ve made my decision. I’ll join Nexus again, if it means I can avenge those kids.
This is a very minor, but recurring role. He's a middle aged man that just wants to go home, but he has a kind heart.
This isn’t my first rodeo with you gifted folk; just fill this out and we can add you to the database. Oh, and you’ll pay the registration fee.
You got lucky this time. My shift just ended, so I’m letting you off with a warning. Next time I see you here, you will pay that registration fee.
Listen son, I don’t have time for your games. My shift is almost over, so just tell me your real name.
Show me what you got. This role is for any extra voices, background characters, etc. There will be lots of opportunities
Introduce yourself and feel free to show off.
Athena is the leader of Oasis, the enemy organization. She is strong willed, yet deeply cares for her colleagues. Think General Armstrong mixed with Izumi Curtis.
Akio, so we meet again. I wonder how many times it's going to take until I get it through your head that Oasis is not a threat.
I beg of you, please help us. I know you have no reason to, but if we can make it through this I promise you that no harm will come afterward.
But will we get our happy ending? If all goes to your plan both organizations will be free. However, someone must take the blame. Make your choice Akio.
Ares is that pompous jerk that thinks he knows best. He finds enjoyment in giving others a hard time. However, when push comes to shove, he will sacrifice everything for the things he cares about, as petty as they may be.
