Yokai Dango -fighting RPG / LGBT+ dating sim-

Project Overview

PLEASE IGNORE THE DEADLINES, IT IS NOT THE OFFICIAL ONE. I'd like to get everything casted by the New Year, 2021. If this needs to be extended, than it shall, but it shall not be shortened.

I will also be updating more and more information to this as time goes by. Anything that is important, such as an official deadline or adding of roles will be posted as an update and announced. The images being used are not their official sprites, but pretty close.


Even if you don't have CCC you can audition via csrcreates (@) gmail (.) com - Just title the email "Audition for Yokai Dango" and mention the roles you are auditioning for, an alias to call you by, and please put the role's name in your file's title. OR you can send an audition to the CSR Creations server: https://discord.gg/Fv7mmWZ


This is an RPG that follows the main player character who's gender presentation can be chosen by the player. The story takes place in a historic Japanese-based universe with yokai. It's both a fighting RPG and a dating game. There are a few characters who fall under the trans or non-binary umbrella, and of course, all of them fall under the queer umbrella (mainly as bi/gay), especially since the player character's gender presentation can change.


Currently, I am not promising any money for this project, but I do hope that I will be able to. But as I do not know what the future holds, I will not say any prices. If any revenue is made from the game, it will first and foremost go to the cast as payment for their services, so if people get paid, it might have to be after the fact.



There are no accents in particular that I am looking for and nor do I care what accent you have. I will be judging on your acting skills, not if you don't have an accent that is the stereotypical "Hollywood" accent (or even mind a mild speech impediment like a lisp). British, German, Southern States American, Hispanic, and more, any and all accents are welcomed.

All I can say is to at least have a decent mic and/or noise gate that blocks out static/white noise and to avoid too much background noise when it comes to the actual project (I don't mind some shuffling/animal or traffic noise for the audition, though), If your audition doesn't reflect the quality of your actual recordings, then please state so, otherwise I will have to assume that you do not actually have the quality required for the project.

Feel free to audition for more than one character, it helps gives both of us options and lets me see your range.



Synopsis:

"Yasu spent their entire life raised as and amongst humans. Shortly after their mother's death, they discovered that they are not only a kitsune being raised by their human step-father, but heir to the throne that their mother left unattended. Now, yokai are after them for a plethora of reasons, whether to keep them from reclaiming their throne or for the bounty that comes with returning them to their kingdom, it's up to Yasu to decide and figure out who they can or cannot trust on their journey.”



Thank you all so much and I look forward to what you all have to show!

  • Server Notice

    As in the description, there is now a Discord server for my work in general where people are allowed to join to leave auditions, keep up to date on my work, and/or to be part of the community (you are 100% allowed to do self-promoting of your own work and such). It's not a requirement to join this specific server should you get casted for this or any of my other projects nor is it a formal commitment to join. If you do not like the server, you can simply leave or just mute it. You can even think of it as a sort of test run to, to see if I am someone you'd like working with and vice versa. I'd love to see people join, but no hard feelings if you do not. Thank you for all your amazing auditions all the same!

Aai / Meguro Aai
open
Unpaid

She/Her They/Them - 5’3” / 161cm

A kejōrō (http://yokai.com/kejourou/) yokai. Falls under the rogue fighting class. Tends to fall under the tsundere archetype.

Aai is a loyal follower of Rasetsu Ryōhei and travels around as one of his personal companions alongside Hikaru. Whenever stopped in a village, she of course cannot help but hanging around brothels for her next meal. Aai likes to tease people that she's interested in, especially if she's not terribly close to them. When it comes to fighting, she tends to be rather cutthroat or sneaky.

I think an androgynous or feminine voice would work best for Aai, but a masculine could be fitting in a similar regards to the comedic effect of Dr. Girlfriend from Venture Bros (I'm leaning toward this). Either way, I kinda prefer a more laidback/sexy sounding tone to their voice given that they are a "hairy prostitute." Probably a low to mid range in general.

Very preferable, though not necessary, that only trans fem (binary, AMAB non-binary, and/or intersex) individuals audition for Aai.

  • (almost malicious) "Caught you."

    (malicious snide) "Hold still or my hair might slice you up, little fox."

  • (kind of tsundere) "I mean, I guess you're pretty cute for a kitsune…if you're into that sort of thing that is!"

    (kinda flirty) "Oh you want to see what's underneath? Are you talking about the face under my hair or what's under my kimono?"

  • "Came to have a smoke with me?"

    (battle cry - sadistic) "You're going to regret getting close!"

Akihiko / Nakahara Akihiko

He/Him - 5’2” / 158cm

A kitsune/fox (http://yokai.com/kitsune/) yokai. Falls under the ranger fighting class. Tends to fall under the "Sensei/Ossan" archetype, especially since he is the MC's biological father (HE IS NOT DATABLE).

Akihiko had an arrange marriage to Miku and was intended to inherit her throne alongside her. She ended up running from their relationship and kingdom, leaving him to deal with the shame and consequences of her actions, leading to his eventual exile. He wandered the woods, stripped of his honor and eating random humans that ran into him. Upon feeling Miku's magical presence, he seeks her out to get his revenge but instead runs into Yasu, unaware that they are his child at first, he tries to eat them. Upon finding out who Yasu really is, he decides to travel with them to escort them to the kingdom to inherit their throne, though his motives are questionable and his temper sometimes unstable.

I can definitely imagine a more calm and serious tone to his voice, maybe even softly spoken, occasionally able to channel a more malicious, almost sadistic sound, especially when angry. He's a fox, so like a growl when upset. Probably a more low to mid range.

  • (calmly with a growl) "I'm going to eat you."

    (almost agitated/suspicious at first and the progressively confused) "You smell like Miku...why? No, not just her...you smell like...me?"

  • "I'm your father, it's what I'm supposed to do: take care of my child."

    (almost scolding) "You have a lot to learn before we get back to the castle. You can hardly call yourself a basic yokai, let alone a kitsune of royal blood."

  • (malicious) "You little fool. Did you really think this was about you? That I cared at all?"

    (battle cry - calm) "You can die now."

Akito / Inoue Akito
open
Unpaid

He/Him - 4’11” / 152cm

A human. Falls under the monk fighting class. Tends to fall under the flirty and womanizer archetype (especially with a drinking problem).

Akito kind of just lives for himself, taking on various jobs for money that he can spend on gambling and boozes. He claims to be an estrange monk that travels alone, and though he hardly acts like one, he clearly has a good amount of spiritual power. He takes on jobs commission both by yokai and humans alike, usually preforming them with his companions, Hinata and Makoto, and will split the bounty with them or at least let them reap the benefits they want (such as trinkets or favors) whist he keeps the actual physical money. His group was hired to escort Yasu home.

Given that he's extremely flirty and likes to drink, I'd prefer a more laid back sound for him, like he doesn't really care much, but is somewhat jovial. His range would be anywhere between mid to high in a masculine range.

It's never explicitly stated, but Akito is trans-coded with small hints that he might be a transgender male.

Very preferable, though not necessary, that only trans masc (binary, AFAB non-binary, and/or intersex) individuals audition for Akito.

  • "So this kid is the "merchandise," eh? Not too bad on the eyes."

    (flirty) "I mean, hey, maybe you and I could have a drink together tonight."

  • (introductory) "I'm Inoue Akito, an estranged monk. These are my traveling companions."

    (suggestive) "With curves like those, you don't need yokai powers to make a man do anything you want."

  • "Hey, let's go get a celebratory drink!"

    (battle cry - like saying a blessing/banishing) "Evil out!"

He/Him - 5’5” / 166cm

A uwabami/snake http://yokai.com/uwabami/) yokai. Falls under the warrior fighting class. Tend to fall under the quiet/dandere archetype.

Hbiki is rather young for a yokai and lives by his uncle's side (Giichi) amongst humans outside of a small village. He was pretty much able to grow up near Yasu because of this, though, unlike Yasu, Hibiki was well aware that he and his family are yokai as well as Yasu and their mother, Miku. Because of their closeness, Hibiki would refer to Miku as "aunt" and Yasu would refer to Giichi as "uncle," who, after all, lived so closely by partially to help keep an eye on the two kitsune's. He and his uncle tend to stay out of politics and try to mind their own business, though Giichi has Hibiki step in with helping guide Yasu on their yokai journey. Because he cares a good deal about his friend, he willingly travels alongside them to reclaim their mother's throne.

Hibiki would probably be more softly spoken and very gentle for the most part. I'd say somewhere in the mid to high range, but I'm pretty flexible on it.

  • "Hello, Yasu-Chan. Are you doing well today?"

    (protective/in the middle of a fight) "Run, Yasu! I'll take care of this!"

  • (concerned) "If it's alright, may I check your wound?"

    "I don't know if I trust him either. Uncle Giichi did have a rather cautionary approach to Nakahara as well."

  • (fighting) "Get back! Don't touch them!"

    (battle cry) "Surrender or pay!"

She/Her - 5’5” / 166cm

A Jorōgumo/spider (http://yokai.com/jorougumo/) yokai. Falls under the mage fighting class. Tends to fall under the cool guy/gal archetype.

Hikaru has an extreme sense of loyalty to Rasetsu Ryōhei ever since he saved her life and took her under his wing when she was still a rather young yokai. Yasu confused Hikaru's feelings at first for romantic love, however she has denounced this theory and claims to love him purely in a platonic way. She is both a skilled koto player and weaver of silk, going as far as to make clothing and clothing accessories for her party. Hikaru comes off as mystique and provocative, though she is actually a very kind individual who takes care of those around her. Despite this, she can be rather cutthroat and insensitive with her fighting, not adverse to murder/violence to get her or Ryōhei's way.

I imagine her having a more sexy/sultry tone to her voice, maybe even playful. I think a mid range would be good for her, but I'm pretty flexible on it. I used to always think to describe her voice as silky.

  • (almost cheerful) "Yes, Master Rasetsu!"

    (serene) "It'll make this a lot easier if you don't resist."

  • "My, my, now that I have a closer look, you do have a really cute face."

    (adoringly) "Aww, how cute, you like head-pats!"

  • (menacing) "I'll do whatever it takes. Do not think for a moment I will hesitate."

    (battle cry - almost sensual) "Get ensnared in my webs."

They/Them He/Him - 5’7” / 172cm

A Daitengu/Tengu (http://yokai.com/daitengu/) yokai. Falls under the druid/summoner fighting class. Tends to fall under the kuudere archetype.

Despite being a daitengu, Hinata takes occasional treks away from their forest to accompany Akito and Makoto on journeys and jobs. They're usually very reserved and tends to keep to themself, even seen as having a sour attitude at first. Hinata seems to make claim that they do not like or care for humans, but clearly has a close bond with Akito, despite his ill behavior and habits. They definitely seem to almost have a big brother/sibling protectiveness over Makoto. Their group was hired to escort Yasu home.

I imagine Hinata having a more masculine voice, but androgynous also would work well. Probably somewhere around the mid range.

Very preferable, though not necessary, that only trans, intersex, and/or non-binary individuals audition for Hinata.

  • "This is just a job to me, so don't expect any unnecessary conversations or interactions."

    "I've never really cared much for humans. All I care about is that they keep out of my forest."

  • "Your hurt. Let me take a look."

    (scolding) "You really shouldn't be so reckless. But I suppose you did it for the wellbeing of others, though you don't need to throw yourself away in order to protect."

  • (hesitant/almost embarrassed) "Can we...stay like this for a little longer?"

    (battle cry - scolding) "Now behave!"

They/Them He/Him She/Her -any pronouns/gendered language is cool- - 5’1” / 155cm

A Kappa/water goblin (http://yokai.com/kappa/) yokai. Falls under the cleric fighting class. Tends to fall under the Kouhai archetype.

Makoto is a very sweet and friendly lone Kappa, almost rejected by their kind for their docile behavior. Makoto was taken under Hinata's wing and made friends with Akito, joining him on some of his bounty hunting or mercenary jobs. Makoto is almost treated like the baby brother/sibling of their group, despite technically being older than Akito. Their group was hired to escort Yasu home.

I think a more androgynous voice would work well for Makoto, but either a feminine or masculine voice could be fitting too. If the voice is masculine, I would prefer them to sound young/energetic/sweet and somwhere around the high range. For feminine, somewhere around the mid range.

Very preferable, though not necessary, that only trans, intersex, and/or non-binary individuals audition for Makoto.

  • (cheerful/reassuring) "Hey there! Don't worry, we're here to help!"

    "If it's not too forward of me to say, you're very cute!"

  • "Hinata-Senpai says I need to stand up for myself more often, but I think I'm only good at fighting back if it means protecting others."

    (embarrassed but happy/almost flirting) "I'm cold blooded, but I do really like getting close to others for their warmth."

  • "You can count on me! I promise to do what I can!"

    (battle cry) "I'll give it my all!"

Mao / Kagome Mao

Unpaid

She/Her - 4’9” / 146cm

A Futakuchi-onna (http://yokai.com/futakuchionna/) yokai. Falls under the paladin fighting class. Tends to fall under the deredere archetype.

Kagome works as a teahouse waitress in a small village under the guise of a normal human, despite being a futakuchi-onna. She's done her best to hide it all her life from the common public and named the mouth on the back of her head, Kuchi (though a lazy name that Kuchi resents as it literally means mouth). Since her teahouse is the only in the village, Yasu and their family were common customers, and that's how she met them. She quickly grew attached to Yasu and the two became friends. She was able to accept Yasu as being a kitsune and yokai rather fast and decided that she wants to help her friend on their journey to reclaim their mother's throne.

Mao would probably have a very sweet voice and with a bit of energy behind it when she's flustered, but probably has a gentle and timid voice when speaking normally, though I can imagine her voice can tend to be snide/snarky from time to time. Probably a high to mid range.

If you wish to audition for her, please check out Kuchi as well. It won't be required, but I thought it'd be a good idea for them to share a VA as they are the same body.

  • "Welcome, Yasu-Chan! It's good to see you again! Shall I get you the usual?"

    (worried) "I don't know! I get a bad feeling about that guy! I'm not saying he's lying, but perhaps...he's not telling us everything. Something's wrong. I can feel it."

  • "If it's alright with you, I'd like to be by your side, Yasu-Chan...(flustered) I mean! I uh- In a friendly protective way! Nothing overbearing or potentially romantic I mean unless that's what you want! I mean- Um! (tries composing self) I just want to make sure you're safe because you've been such a good friend to me."

    "You don't think I'm a freak? My..."situation," doesn't bother you?"

  • (snide) "Oh yes, and an ogre and his two floozies is a better option? Suuuure."

    (battle cry) "T-Take some of this!"

Kuchi / Kagome Kuchi

She/Her

The mouth on the back of Mao's head from her being a futakuchi-onna.

Kuchi is a rather loudmouth and pompous being that is always criticizing and bullying Mao, though it's possible that she's just an extension of Mao's psyche and reflects her own insecurities and self-doubt, just in a very vocal way. Kuchi will keep silent in front of humans unless Mao neglects to feed her, threatening to out the girl as the yokai they are if she can't be sedated with food. Amongst other yokai, Kuchi has no issue running her mouth and stating her opinions, much to Mao's displeasure.

I can imagine Kuchi practically screaming/yelling/exclaiming most of her words and saying them mostly in a mocking and bullying tone. I think she'd have a higher range for the most part, like she's screeching a lot (but please don't strain your voice or blow out your mic - do it in a more natural way). That, or a rather pompous and loud voice.

I might have the voice actor for Mao be the same voice for Kuchi, just played up with a caricature voice.

  • (whiny) "FEED ME!"

  • (scolding) "THE MOST UNORIGINAL NAME FROM THE MOST PLAIN PERSON IN THE WORLD! IT'S LIKE I WAS THE ONLY ONE GIVEN THE ABILITY TO USE OUR BRAIN."

  • "GET IT TOGETHER! IF YOU DON'T FOCUS, YOU'RE OF NO USE!"

Ryōhei / Rasetsu Ryōhei
open
Unpaid

He/Him - 5’8” / 173cm

An oni (http://yokai.com/oni/) yokai. Falls under the barbarian fighting class. Tends to fall under the bad boy (and very slightly yandere) archetype.

Ryōhei comes off sometimes as an arrogant and stubborn oni, though he also has a very calm and collective side to him as well. His mother was a red oni, hotheaded and headstrong, and his father a blue oni, intellectual and composed, so he reflects both his parents rather well. Ryōhei is almost unintentionally a gang leader, as he has accidentally collected a good amount of followers, none as loyal as Hikaru or even Aai (though she also mainly hangs out with him because she finds it fun). Despite seeming to be a selfish individual, he clearly is incredibly kind and caring, and that's why he has so many followers. When he was still practically a child, he was severely crushing on Miku, being rather close to the princess and feeling sympathy for her plight of not being able to choose her own path. Upon hearing news of Miku's possible whereabouts, he wished to be reunited, though he instead met Yasu, her offspring, and was smitten anew.

Rasetsu would have a more charming and almost snide voice. He can range from being calmly spoken to having a gruff and temperamental way of talking every now and then. I don't really have a preference for his vocal range.

  • (eerily satisfied) "I finally found you."

    (disappointed/remorseful) "Miku's gone? ...for real?"

  • (pondering at first) "You look almost nothing like her like I'd think you would. Aside maybe a few features here and there. (flirty) You're cuter, anyhow."

    (suggestive) "If you're cold, you know you could get a little closer. I won't bite...not unless you ask me to."

  • (menacing, almost sadistic) "Come closer if you wanna die."

    (battle cry - snide/cocky) "Big mistake on your part!"

She/Her - 5’6” / 169cm

Yasu's mother. A kitsune/fox (http://yokai.com/kitsune/) yokai.

Miku was born into a royal bloodline, a princess and the only heir to her family's throne. She had an arrange marriage to Akihiko, who she tried to make things work with at first. Miku was always very restless and never really wanted her fate, and having a rather apathetic and reserved husband that only seemed to care about his status didn't help her feelings of unease. Eventually, she met Bunta, and despite him being a human, fell in love. Miku ended up running away with him, though during their planning period, discovered that she was already pregnant with Akihiko's child, however Bunta did not care and decided that he would raise the child, Yasu, as his own. She thought it would be for the better to raise Yasu as a human and keep the truth from them, using her magic to mask their abilities and keep them in a human form. Because of this, Miku has been seen as irresponsible, selfish, and impulsive, some people also commenting that she was quite a lazy princess aside when she wanted to sneak out of the castle for a run. All that aside, she actually is a rather grounded soul that tries to encourage others to be their best self and just wants peace.

She will only be in the opening segment of the game and a few flashbacks, so I don't mind double casting whoever voices her.

I can imagine her having a bit of an elegant yet strong voice. She would be well articulated (she is royalty, after all) but at the same time, she's rather laidback in how she talks. Maybe somewhere in her mid range.

  • (weak but serious) "Yasu, there's something very important I have to tell you."

  • "Sometimes, I really hate fate. It is inconsiderate and cruel. But there is no escape."

  • "Oh come on now, lighten up a bit, Akihiko! Let's go out for a run together!"

He/Him - 5’2” / 160cm

Yasu's step-father and foster father. A human.

Once a samurai from a noble human family, Bunta gave up almost everything to be with Miku, even raising her child with her previous husband as his own. He was very curious and fascinated by the unknown and yokai, thus bringing him to continuously meeting up with Miku. He genuinely loved Yasu and truly saw them as his child, even without their blood relation.

He will only be in the opening segment of the game, so I don't mind double casting whoever voices him.

I don't have a high preference for what he should sound like aside from being reserved. Think of a conservative older man.

  • (remorseful) "She thought it would be what's best for you...we thought it would be what's best..."

  • (mournful) "Yasu, you're mother would like to finally speak to you."

  • (like a worried/strict father) "Be home before dark. I really prefer you don't go out, but I know you have to."

    If possible, without peeking your mic, have a dying scream or battle grunts, as though you're getting hit

He/Him - 5’4” / 163cm

A uwabami/snake (http://yokai.com/uwabami/) yokai. Hibiki's uncle.

Giichi used to be in service to the royal family, but likes to stay out of politics nowadays. He's raised his nephew, Hibiki, all these years all while keeping an eye on Miku and Yasu as he felt a kinship with the heir. It was partially thanks to him that Miku was able to live her life with Bunta. Aside his nephew, Giichi likes to live a solitary life on his own, minding his own business and preferring others to mind theirs as well.

He will only be in the opening segment of the game, so I don't mind double casting whoever voices him.

Giichi is seen as a bit of an elderly miser, so a grumpy older man might be the best comparison to him, but not a silly caricature of one. I have him under "Senior," but "middle adult" works as well.

  • "Pests are at it again. The world would be a lot less exhausting if people minded their own business."

  • "Hibiki, you know what to do."

  • "Given her kindness, Miku was still very negligent. It's not supposed to be my place to tell you these things, but since I'm one of the few people left that can and the closest you have to a guardian, I suppose it is my responsibility."

I probably will be fine without, but it would be nice to have a programmer/coder by my side who knows how to use RPG Maker MV. 

I don't intend on getting into anything too fancy, just a simple RPG fighting game as well as a dating sim game. I mainly need someone who would have common knowledge on RPG classes and traits and could help program the monsters and classes stats/traits etc.

Someone who doesn't mind doing some world building would be nice too, but the previous is my priority.

The story takes place takes place based off of historical Japan, so music that fits that era would be preferred. I'm a huge fan of the Vocaloid/music composer, -MASA Works DESIGN-, if you want to look him up for some reference (I mainly mean his onibi and sister series such as The Fox Wedding, The Secret Box, and Shikyou the Amanojaku - the original not the versions for the ADULT album).

However, typical horror RPG music would also work very well!
