Jon Magami - revisited

Character Information

Name: Jon Magami

Hero name: Aegis Prime

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Heritage: Half Japanese, half British

Affiliation: U.A. High School, Class 1-A

Quirk: Ultra Quirk

Jon Magami is one of the central protagonists of the story. Having recently returned to Japan after living in England, he enrols at U.A. with the ambition of becoming a hero who can protect others without becoming the kind of man his father tried to make him.

At first, Jon appears calm, capable and unusually mature for his age. Underneath that composure, however, he is awkward, insecure and carrying years of unresolved trauma. He often hides his fear behind dry humour and understated confidence.

Jon is compassionate, fiercely loyal and instinctively protective, but his greatest flaw is his willingness to sacrifice himself. When someone he loves is threatened—especially his childhood friend Mina Ashido—his restraint can collapse, allowing the enormous power of his Ultra Quirk to overwhelm him.

His journey is not simply about becoming stronger. It is about confronting guilt, accepting help and learning that protecting people does not mean destroying himself in the process.
Voice Description

Jon should have a youthful mid-to-low teenage voice. His voice can carry some weight, but he must still sound sixteen rather than like a fully grown action hero.

His vocal personality combines:

• Teen Gohan’s kindness and moral heart

• Fjord’s understated charm and insecurity

• Future Trunks’ decisiveness in combat

• Nightwing’s cheeky, relaxed humour

These are performance references only. We are looking for the actor’s own interpretation, not an impression of an existing character or performer.

In ordinary conversation, Jon is warm, restrained and quietly funny. Around people he trusts, particularly Mina, his softer and more playful side emerges. During combat, his delivery becomes focused, authoritative and intense.

The actor must be able to perform:

• Natural teenage conversation

• Dry and self-deprecating humour

• Gentle romantic and affectionate scenes

• Fear, grief, guilt and emotional breakdowns

• Calm heroic determination

• Anger without becoming one-note

• Sustained action sequences and powerful attack calls

• Quieter scenes in which Jon attempts to conceal what he is feeling

Content Notice

Jon’s storyline contains themes of childhood trauma, parental abuse, guilt, violence, bereavement and self-destructive behaviour. Applicants should be comfortable performing emotionally demanding material.

Audition Instructions

Please submit clean, unedited audio recorded in a quiet environment.

• Record two takes of each line.

• Keep effects, music and heavy processing out of the audition.

• Please do not use an AI-generated, cloned or synthetically altered voice.

• You may include one additional improvised line if you wish.

• Battle lines should be performed safely. Do not injure or strain your voice.

• A reliable microphone and willingness to meet agreed deadlines are required.

• The selected actor must be comfortable receiving direction and committing to a major recurring role.

• Japanese pronunciation guidance will be provided when required.

Jon is powerful, but power alone is not what defines him. The successful performance will capture the vulnerable teenager beneath Aegis Prime: a boy who can face an army without flinching, yet struggles to believe that he deserves the same protection and love he gives everyone else.

Thank you for auditioning. I look forward to hearing your interpretation of Jon Magami.
