Hello everyone! We just wanted to thank you all for auditioning for our project! It means a lot to us! Unfortunately, there has been a bug that keeps us from viewing whoever auditioned for Haru Okumura. If you auditioned for her, we would really appreciate it if you would resubmit your audition.

Ryuji Sakamoto is a Filipino-Japanese delinquent. He is known as a "problem student" at school. Ryuji is a bit rough around the edges due to his vulgar and aggressive nature however he's actually a sweet and caring person. He's rather short-tempered and dense which causes him to be viewed as an idiot by the rest of the cast, especially by Morgana and Ann. A Filipino voice actor is preferred.

(mildly annoyed) Dude... What's up with you? Are you high off your ass? It's a bit early to be smoking... Huh? That button says you're a second year just like me but I've never seen you before. Shit... don't tell me, are you a transfer student?
(nonchalant) Eh... This kinda tastes like shit. This ramen has NOTHING on my nanay's adobo.
(surprised) For real?! (matter-a-factly) Woah woah woah, it's not gay to kiss your homies.
Morgana is the confident and determined mascot of the Phantom Thieves. While appearing very cat-like, calling him a cat causes him to lash out aggressively as he insists he's human. Morgana seemingly has encyclopedic knowledge of both worlds and considers himself very intelligent and capable. Morgana often comes off as arrogant and constantly fights with Ryuji over petty matters. He often plays the role of the straight man, and puts up with the rest of the group's antics.

(extremely annoyed, yet desperate) I'm locked up here too, dumbass! How can I be your enemy? Let me out!
(enraged) I am NOT a cat! Call me a cat again and I'll beat your ass!
(cocky) God damn it, you're useless! Hey! You can fight, right? Let's get rid of these losers!
Yusuke Kitagawa is a mildly annoying artist who always sounds like a thesaurus, much to the dismay of the rest of the group. He has an intense passion for the arts and also admires his mentor, Ichiryusai Madarame. Yusuke has a crush on Ann Takamaki, who constantly rejects his advances. He's a little eccentric and seemingly operates on another plane of existence than the rest of his friends. He's very intolerant of certain personality types that don't match his aesthetic. He also has a bad habit of frequently ignoring and interrupting people.

(awestruck) Your fair skin, your silky hair, your thin frame! Yes, yes... You're the woman I've been envisioning all this time! Please... Will you be the subject of my next art piece?
(distraught) I couldn't produce any art in that vile den of lies, therefore... (self assured) That's why I was going to undertake residency at Ann's house.
(relaxed) Ah yes, if you gazed upon that painting with your own eyes you would believe in master's awe inspiring abilities.
Makoto Niijima is the extremely arrogant and catty student council president at Shujin Academy. Makoto is extremely irritable and constantly berates her fellow teammates as well her sister, Sae Niijima. Makoto looks down on just about everyone but especially dislikes people who are poor and unintelligent. She's extremely prickly and hard to get along with but the group succumbs to her will due to her unique charms if not fear of her harsh words.

(struggling) Uck! Let go of me! Hey! Can you tell these assholes to let go of me, you Ron Jeremy looking motherfucker!
Futaba Sakura is an unbearable shut in otaku who compulsively makes anime and video game references much to the dismay of the rest of the group, especially Makoto Nijima. She has extreme social anxiety that borders on agoraphobia and is a HUGE pervert. Futaba is also extremely clingy towards all of her new friends due to her lonely life prior to joining the Phantom Thieves and is probably the group's most enthusiastic member. Although being the group's navigator she's laughably bad at it.

(nonchalant) Shit! We're surrounded! Try not to die guys, m'kay?
(shocked) W-woah? These power levels... They're over 9000!
Haru Okumura is an insufferable Mormon who's a closeted lesbian. She enjoys pushing her views on others no matter how much her friends tell her to stop. Even though she preaches Mormon values, she often comes off very sexual at times and even goes as far as to say openly lewd/perverted things. Despite her religious eccentricities, she cares deeply for everyone in the group. She seemingly has feelings for Makoto Nijima, even though she denies it. While she appears gentle and feminine she enjoys fighting and is somewhat sadistic. Even convincing the other members of the Phantom Thieves that she derives sexual pleasure from it. She's also very vain and talks about her beauty frequently as well as her supposed "intelligence." While being very self centered she really likes Morgana and holds a lot of respect for him. She also constantly fights with Ann Takamaki, who is a promiscuous teen mother, even though she'll bring up her beauty frequently in the form of backhanded compliments. A lesbian voice actor is preferred.
