Riku Sakaya
A loud-mouthed shonen protagonist with a heart bigger than his brain. Bright, energetic tenor that cracks when he yells. Always one bowl of ramen away from a power-up.
"I don't care how strong you are! I'm not backing down!"
(panting hard) "One more... I can take one more hit. Easy."
"You think this is the end? You think I came this far, lost this much, ran my legs into the GROUND, just to lay down for a guy like YOU?! (roar) BURNING SPIRIT, CRESCENT FANG!! (grunt) Get up! I'm not done with you yet!"
Akemi Kurogane
A prickly kendo prodigy who can't admit she cares. Sharp, controlled mezzo with a flustered crack whenever feelings come up. Will sword-strike a confession out of you.
"Don't get the wrong idea. The dojo was empty, that's all."
(huff) "F-fine! I'll walk with you! But only because it's on my way! Obviously!"
"You think I stayed up until three in the morning reading your match notes because I-... (catching herself) ...because the coach asked me to! That's all! That's the ONLY reason! So you'd better win tomorrow, you absolute IDIOT, or I swear I'll, I'll... (quieter) ...I'll never forgive you."
Yuuto Nishimori
A chuunibyou high schooler convinced his right arm houses an ancient evil. Dramatic, theatrical tenor that takes itself far too seriously. Wears a single black glove indoors.
(low whisper) "The cursed eye stirs. Today will be a black day."
"Stay back, mortal. My sealed arm has not fed in forty-eight hours."
"You laugh. You ALL laugh. But when the Crimson Moon rises and the chains upon my soul finally shatter, you will REMEMBER this hour. (dramatic pause, voice dropping) You will remember the boy who tried to warn you. (beat, suddenly normal) ...A-anyway, can I copy your homework? I had nightmares about the void again."
Hoshino Mei
A magical girl in over her head but never out of heart. Bright, sparkling soprano that hardens when her friends are threatened. Cries at every transformation sequence.
"Don't worry! Mei is here!"
(determined, breath shaking) "I made a promise to protect this town. I'm keeping it."
"I know I'm small. I know I forget the speeches and I trip on the landings and I cry every time someone gets hurt. (beat, voice steadying) But you made my friend cry. And that, I will NOT forgive! STARLIGHT PRISM, BLOOM!! (soft, breathless) Stand up. We're not finished."
Daichi Roan
A stoic wandering swordsman with a sealed past. Low, quiet baritone, slow and deliberate. Speaks once. Acts second. Apologizes never.
"Move. Or be moved."
(slow exhale) "I sheathed this blade ten winters ago. You drew it for me."
"There was a teacher, long ago. He told me a sword is only as honest as the hand that holds it. (beat) I have carried this one through three wars. I still do not know if it is honest. (quieter) But I know I am. That will have to be enough."
Sumika Ren
A sweet, soft-spoken classmate with an unsettling devotion. Gentle soprano that giggles a little too long. Always knows where you are.
(soft giggle) "I made you lunch again! Don't share it. Promise?"
"Who was that girl you walked home with yesterday? I'm just... I'm just curious."
"I waited at the gate for two hours. In the rain. And you walked right past me with HER. (small, trembling laugh) It's okay. It's okay, it's okay, I'm not mad. I could never be mad at you. (beat, sweetly) But maybe she shouldn't come to school tomorrow. For her own sake. (soft) Okay?"
Master Genshiro Touma
An ancient martial arts sensei with a hundred lifetimes in his eyes. Hoarse, raspy bass, slow and weighted. Drinks more sake than he teaches, and he teaches plenty.
"Again. From the beginning. Your stance is dishonest."
(low chuckle) "You hit harder than yesterday. Tomorrow you'll hit harder still. Now sit. Drink."
"I have taught thirty-seven students. Two became masters. Three became cowards. The rest are dead. (beat) Do not ask me which group you remind me of, boy. Train another year. Perhaps then I will tell you. Perhaps not. (sip) Perhaps I will be dead. We shall see."
Lord Vargheist
An ancient demon lord newly awakened and deeply unimpressed. Deep, resonant bass with a smooth theatrical drawl. Treats world conquest as a tedious obligation.
(low chuckle) "Ah. So the legends finally walk to me. How quaint."
"Kneel, little hero. The script is already written. You simply haven't read the ending yet."
"A thousand years I slumbered. A thousand years your priests sang hymns of victory, your kings carved my name from their histories, your children grew up believing the world was SAFE. (soft laugh) And yet here I am. Awake. Hungry. Disappointed. (voice swelling) SHADOW DOMINION, ETERNAL DUSK!! (softer) Let us begin again."
Hibiki Tachikawa
The cocky rival with a chip on his shoulder and a smirk in his voice. Smooth, confident tenor. Always one comeback ahead of you.
"Heh. You actually showed up. Color me impressed."
(laugh) "Don't hold back today, hotshot. I'd hate to feel sorry for you."
"You think I've been training to beat YOU? (scoff) Please. I've been training to MATTER. You're just the loudest obstacle standing between me and that. (beat, grin in voice) Lucky for you. Means I'm not gonna make this quick."
Pilot Ayane Mori
A precision mecha pilot, military-cool with cracks of fear underneath. Crisp, clipped alto with controlled breathing. Holds the line until the line breaks her.
"Cockpit sealed. Launching in three."
(tense breath) "Enemy contact, twelve o'clock. They're faster than briefing said. A lot faster."
"Command, this is Mori. I've lost visual on my squad. Comms are dead. Coolant's in the red and my left arm's gone. (beat, voice tightening) But the target is still standing, and so am I. Requesting permission to engage. (quieter) ...Not that I'm waiting for it. CRIMSON LANCE, IGNITE!! (grunt) Taking the shot."
