New Character - Itsuki Koda
A new character is available for auditioning- Itsuki Koda, the Superior Taxidermist!
"A Lost Dream" is a minecraft project inspired by the game Danganronpa. It follows the same concept of Killing Games, Motives- The trials, or what we call "Exams" work a tad bit differently, but it's the same idea of trying to find the killer.
There's a talent system in this universe where people work their way up the ranks of their respective talent in hopes of reaching the #1 rank and title of "Superior". With the sudden surge of young prodigies reaching the Superior rank, Rising Star High School, or Kitai no Hoshi Kōtōgakkō, decided to invite 16 of these young Superiors to attend their academy in hopes of doing research on how they managed to rise in the ranks so quickly, while it took some people years upon years of training and work.
However, things take a turn for a worse when they wake up in the school with no way out in sight. Tarocchi, the school's "headmaster", tells them that it'll be okay as long as they focus on their talents... However, if they truly want to leave that bad, they must kill another student and get away with it. Tarocchi is against this and thinks they should just live in peaceful harmony! ...If only he didn't have a job to do.
We are looking for Voice Actors, BlockBench Modelers, Builders, Body Actors, and more!
Keep in mind, this project is unpaid as of this current moment. If things go well, and we begin making money from our passion project, then we will gladly look into paying everyone for putting in such hard work! Howver, as of right now, that's just what this project is- A passion project that we are doing for fun.
More roles are to be added soon!
Please Note: We will be doing light background checks, and as this is a queer & poc lead project, you will be removed from the project if your political views align with ones that create a hostile environment for marginalized communities.

Cordelia Afron is a 14 year old African-Australian girl. After changing the ways of the rag-tag band of pirates she was born into, she quickly rose up and became the Superior Swashbuckler. When she was invited to Rising Star High School along with 15 other Superiors, she took the chance to spread her good-will to others.
Cordelia is confident herself and in those around her. She has hope that people won't fall victim to this killing game, but she is ready to protect her new crew if it should come to that. Some believe the hope and faith she places in other can come off as naive, and that the whole positivity shtick is only going to a paint a target on her back. Some even question how true her kind-nature is. Will she be able to stay true to herself with others pushing against her walls? One can't know the answer. One thing that's for certain, though, is that Cordelia will never leave behind one of her crew members.
She uses She/Her pronouns.
Cordelia Afron has a strong and friendly voice. She has medium pitch.

Who knows what'll happen from there.
Axel Everett is a hot-headed individual- It doesn't take much to rile him up, and he would do anything to keep his friends safe- Even if it means getting into a fight. Deep down, however, he's just a child who wants things to work out for him and his loved ones.

Hibiki Mal Kumiko is a 14 year old Mexican-Japanese girl from New York City. She is the Superior Commentator. From a young age, Hibiki has always commentated over small things such as board games between friends, to even school events if given explicit permission. It didn't take long with minor league e-sports comps to reach out to her after her significant rise in the ranks. From there, Hibiki skyrocketed through the ranks of Commentators.
After rising so high in the ranks, Hibiki became insecure about the friendships and relationships with those around her. She decided to keep her heart closed off from any super-close connections aside from the ones she already had- In order to get along with people, Hibiki would put on a mask and match a person's energy. Another thing is that Hibiki will always take the easiest route out... Even if that might hurt someone she cares about.

From a young age, Noelle has always been enamoured by the idea of painting- When her parents discovered this, they went all in. New paint brushes every birthday, canvases- As she got older and rised in the ranks of Painters, she was able to start selling her paintings to Museums.
Noelle never told her parents this, but deep down she just wishes she could be a normal girl without the worry of being a Superior. She's really timid, and shy around most people due to her social anxiety- She's anxious that people only use her and keep her around for that talent.

Ryota Shoji is a 15 year old Japanese boy from Kyoto, Japan. He is the Superior Guitarist. From a young age, he's had immense luck in his everyday life, so it's no surprise how quickly he was able to pick up guitar once encouraged by his parents. What Ryota's parents didn't expect was that this would lead to Ryota developing a rebellious and deliquent attitude towards them and others around them as he got older.
When reaching the rank of Superior, Ryota and his band mates were ecstatic. However, before attending Rising Star High School, a dispute between them caused the band to split. Ryota brushed it off, however, and stayed true to his rebellious, determined self.
Ryota uses He/Him pronouns.

He had a bit of a religious upbringing, however after a traumatic experience involving what he calls a "demon", Atticus has refused to step inside a Church. He fears that if he does, the demon will come back to get him.
Ever since his experience, Atticus has become reclused- Often staying in his room and researching demonic experiences. As he got older, he delved into demonology- Using ouija boards, performing seances- All those things. Atticus hoped that one day this would help him build up the courage to face his fear. Until then, he has helped others with their own demons- For money, of course. He often gets approached by people wanting to communicate with past loved ones- It annoys him, since it's not what he specializes in, but he assists occasionally. Overall, he is a socially awkward and bitter soul.
