Captain Hayato Sumeragi
A fiercely dedicated high school sports captain with a permanent hoarse throat from yelling, eighteen. Strong, rough tenor with raw passion. Treats every practice like a championship final.
(barking) "Again! From the top! And this time MEAN it!"
"I don't care if you're tired. Tired is a feeling. Winning is a CHOICE."
"Three years. THREE YEARS I've watched this team get knocked down in the semifinals. Three years I've stood in that locker room while someone cried into their jersey. (beat, voice cracking) Not this year. Not on my watch. You leave EVERYTHING on that court tomorrow, you hear me?! BURNING HEART, FINAL WHISTLE!! (quieter) ...because I won't get another chance."
Court Mage Lirien Vossari
An elegant, condescending royal mage who finds humans tedious. Smooth, cool mezzo with crisp enunciation. Sighs like commoners are weather.
(slow sigh) "Yes, yes, magical. Wondrous. May I return to my studies now?"
"You held the staff backwards. That's why your eyebrows are gone."
"I have spent two centuries refining the arts your kind calls 'miracles.' I have crafted spells that bend rivers, summoned storms to soothe a queen's headache, and once, (beat) on a dare, I turned an entire battalion into very confused pigeons. (scoff) So no, your highness, I will NOT be teaching the village children fireball. They have hands. Hands are flammable."
Goopy
A friendly, naive slime monster who just wants to make friends. High, bubbly genderless voice with a wet, gurgly cadence. Speaks in delighted bursts.
(wet giggle) "Hi! Hi-hi-hi! Goopy is Goopy! What you?!"
"You squishy too? Goopy squishy! Squishy friends!"
"Goopy ate the village blacksmith yesterday. (beat, cheerful) He was NICE! Tasted like iron and regret! Goopy gave him back though! Mostly! Goopy kept his hat! (gurgle) Hat is FRIEND now! Hat is named Steven! STEVEN SAYS HI!"
Old Master Tarrick Volgrim
A grizzled retired hero who saved the world thirty years ago and now runs a small tavern, sixties. Hoarse, weather-worn bass with a slow, knowing chuckle. Drinks more than he talks. Talks plenty anyway.
(low chuckle) "Saved the world once. Got a tavern. Fair trade."
"You boys looking for a hero? Try the next village. We're all out."
"I marched on the demon citadel with twelve friends. Twelve. (beat) Three came back. One of them was a horse. (soft laugh) So when you come in here, kid, all bright-eyed and prophecy-touched, askin' the old man how it's done, (quieter) I'll tell you the truth nobody ever told me. Pour two glasses. Sit down. (softer) And start with: who you'll miss most."
Suzu Akagawa
A cheerful but reluctant maid working off her noble family's debt, seventeen. Bright, polite soprano that cracks into pure indignation when no one's listening. Curtsies through clenched teeth.
(sweetly) "Welcome home, my lord. Tea is prepared."
(muttering, alone) "If he asks for the third pot, I'm putting a frog in it."
"I was raised to play the harp! I speak FOUR languages! I have danced with princes! (beat, sweetly, to her lord) Of course, my lord, more pastries, right away! (walking away, hissing) I will outlive him. I will outlive him, I will inherit nothing, and I will be at peace."
Renji Kazama
A brooding antihero swordsman with a tragic backstory and zero patience for small talk, mid-twenties. Low, rough tenor with clipped delivery. Sentences end before they should.
"Don't follow me. I won't say it again."
(quiet) "I bury my own. Always have."
"You think you know loss. You don't. You THINK you do. (beat) I had a sister. Once. She used to braid flowers into my hair while I slept, and I'd pretend to be mad, but I wasn't, I never was. (softer) And then she wasn't there anymore. (quieter) So no. You don't follow me. You don't ask questions. You go home. You braid flowers into someone else's hair. (beat) While you still can."
Princess Aelune Vereia
A spoiled foreign princess slowly learning humility in the countryside, late teens. Crisp, regal mezzo with bratty undertones, occasionally softening with confused tenderness.
"What do you MEAN there isn't a second bath chamber?!"
(muttering) "Why is the chicken looking at me like that. Why is it ALLOWED to look at me like that."
"I was promised a rustic adventure. I was promised charm. I was promised, and I quote, 'the simple joys of country life.' (beat, indignant) I have been here EIGHT days, I have stepped in something AWFUL three times, and a goat ATE my ceremonial sash. (quieter, slowly) ...And I had the best soup of my life last night. (beat) ...Don't tell anyone."
Sensei Hiroaki Murasame
A laid-back high school homeroom teacher with mysterious past and sharp instincts, late thirties. Easy, warm tenor with a casual drawl. Naps at his desk; remembers every student's name.
(yawn) "Pop quiz. Just kidding. Maybe. Probably."
"Hey, kid. You okay? You haven't been okay for a few days."
"You think I don't notice. (soft chuckle) I notice. The seat by the window, you've been picking at your sleeve. The one in the back, you've been forgetting your lunch. The one in the middle, (beat), you've been laughing too loud, which is how I know you're sad. (softer) My classroom door doesn't have a lock. There's a reason for that. (quieter) Come find me when you're ready."
Lord Veynross Ashenfall
An ancient lich-king awakened from a thousand-year slumber, mildly inconvenienced. Hollow, layered baritone with a reverberating echo. Speaks like every word is being filed for later.
(slow exhale) "A new century. How... thoroughly disappointing."
"You woke me. Was it intentional? Or are you simply careless?"
"I conquered seventy-three kingdoms. I drank from the chalice of the Final Sun. I struck down the last archangel with my own withered hand. (beat, dry) And then I went to sleep. Because, frankly, mortal, I was BORED. (soft, terrible laugh) So tell me. In a thousand years, has anything become interesting? (quieter) No? (beat) Then I'll have to fix that. WAKE, OBSIDIAN HOST!! (softer) Let us begin."
Mochi-chan
A round, fluffy magical mascot creature who serves as the heroine's guide. Tiny, squeaky soprano with the cadence of an overcaffeinated chipmunk. Refuses to explain how anything works.
(squeak) "Mochi-chan say HELLO! Mochi-chan say RUN!"
"Don't ask questions! Just transform! Hurry-hurry-hurry!"
"Listen-listen-listen, Mochi-chan come from FAR AWAY MAGIC LAND, very important, very secret, very sparkly, Mochi-chan choose YOU to save the world! (beat, cheerful squeak) Why YOU? Mochi-chan no remember! Mochi-chan saw you eat pudding! Pudding-eater is CHOSEN ONE! Now TRANSFORM or we DIE! BOTH OF US! TOGETHER! VERY EXCITING!"
