Danganronpa: Cosmic Doubt
Project Overview
Cosmic Doubt is an upcoming fangan video series taking place in a space resort in the year 2500, and each character comes from a different planet. The story follows Pollus, a studious and optimistic xenologist from the planet Geron. He and other teenagers of exceptional talent across the galaxy were invited to stay at a space resort for a couple weeks, in celebration of their feats. Just when they think they are going to have the time of their life, the drone in charge of the resort hijacks it and traps everyone inside. Now forced to participate in a killing game, what will happen to these beacons of hope?
What we are mainly looking for this project are voice actors. The qualities I seek in the people that audition are ones that are responsive and won't ghost the team after joining the project, have good microphones, and are enjoyable to work with. Although production on the project fluctuates due to how busy life can get for all of us, I want the voice actors to be fully prepared to fulfill their role when I ask for their availability.
The deadline for auditions is February 1st, 2022. There may be extensions if certain characters do not receive enough auditions in time.
Something to keep in mind is that because every character comes from a different planet, their accents can be completely unique. So it doesn't matter what your accent is going into auditions or if you want to put on a particular accent while auditioning. As long as it vibes with the character, it should be fine (however, a few roles may have required accents).
Also, please remember that this is an unpaid project.
One more thing, for those wondering why CL41R1 is not on the audition page, it's because she is mute.
Social media links aren't working for me right now, so if you want to follow the project, please join the Discord server, follow the Twitter, or contact me on Discord at └[ ☉ ᗝ ☉ ]┘ vibes#6703

"Pawl-lus Lee-bro"
Pollus is an entheusiastic boy from the planet Geron. Due to the strict visiting policies of the planet, he hasn't had many chances to venture out, so he's always fantasized about leaving and learning about the life on other planets.
This dream inspired him to research the histories and cultures of other aliens, writing a multitude of papers and articles on them.
A good-natured and optimistic bookworm, Pollus is highly knowledgable of other cultures and is respectful towards people from other planets. However, he'd prefer to sit down and get sucked into a great book rather than make meaningful connections.
- Pollus generally speaks with an enthusiastic, yet studious tone befitting his nerdy nature.
- He tends to have a more cozy tone when relaxed.
- He is fairly emotive when experiencing emotions like fear, sadness, and anger.
(Optimistic) I’m not really one to brag, but I’m absolutely thankful I was considered worthy enough to come here. My name is Pollus Libro, I’m proud to call myself the Ultimate Xenologist.
(Bold) That is false! I'm sorry, but I cannot overlook what you just said.
(Thinking) I don’t know about you, but something about this is suspicious to me.
"Cal-ick-uh Soo-kah"
Kallika revolutionized the technology of her planet Fanterran with her multitude of inventions. Before her machines were recognized by the Kingdom of Fanterra, the planet's technology was more akin to that of Earth's medieval period.
Although not as technologically advanced as the tech on other planets, her variety of trinkets and helper robot models have benefitted her planet greatly.

(Happy) If you guessed Kallika Tsu’ka, you’re right! With my machines and engineering skills, I’ve revolutionized my entire planet!
(Thinking) According to my calculations, we may be able to escape this resort in roughly a semicentury, give or take.
(Excited) I would love to help! Do you need your wires checked? Your screen fixed? An alternative charging source? Oh, we have so much to discuss!
"Faal Ark"
The planet Thalyama is not only known for its advanced technology and meltingpot of alien races, but also its corrupt authority and incessant crimes. The planet needs someone to right the wrongs of its society, and Fal is the one to take the mantle.
With her high tech cybernetic arm and the help of her blade-wielding sister, the two have been getting rid of criminals for years. Since they usually dispose reprehensible people in nasty ways, the Thalyam law is always after them. Although an outlaw on her planet, the Organization of Hopeful Youth agreed with her cause and sought to protect her by inviting her to Panderaxia.

- She mostly expresses mild annoyance, but can get really intense when she is furious.
- When in a good mood, she sounds mellower than usual.

(Serious) As of now, I’m in charge here. You got that?
(Mad) Listen here, asshole. I don’t know what your deal is, but you’re going to shut up if you know what’s good for you.

"Lope-E Tuh-pom-E"
Lopi is a rabbit that hails from Animala, a planet where humans brought millions of animals as an experiment to see how they thrive… only for them to evolve and become more humanlike and creating their own society.
This bunny is a notorious champion of hoverboarding, owning dozens of trophies and has invented famous techniques. Starting out in hoverboarding camp, she quickly rose to the top once she joined tournaments.

"Icks Chah-kah"
Every thousand years on the living planet Blern, an eighteen year-old is chosen by the planet to be sent on a dangerous quest to retrieve the fabled Zetmos fruit. After coming back, they feed it to the planet to keep him alive.
The cycle has returned and the one chosen to be Blern's Zetmos Rover is Ix, who is incompetent at everything.

- Ix speaks like someone from the olden times.
- He has a bit of an over-the-top Skeletor/Papyrus-like accent, often rolling his R's.
- He sounds really pompous and courageous like a goofy knight.
(Prideful and bombastic) I am the grand and mighty Zetmos Rover of this millenium, Ix Chakah! Clap for me, I say!
(Accusing) How dare you speak lowly of the grand and mighty Ix! I’ll have you know I have bested ferocious beasts on my travels. That abominable “windmill” stood no chance against me!
(Loud) Hark! As there is no carriage for me to ride, I demand that you carry me there!
"Vall Shev-ell"
Kenope is a planet that is divided by its warring sides: its technologically advanced half and its less tech oriented side.
Vaal remains on the latter side, working as a shepherd for baaleo, sheep-lion-like creatures native to the planet. He treats all his baaleo with care, often selling their golden mane to fashion industries from other planets.

- He usually sounds really chill and friendly.
- He doesn't raise his voice often, usually sounding foreboding and menacing when maddened.

(Reassuring) Pull in your horns, I don’t want no trouble.
(Menacing) Don’t make me give ya a thorough whippin’, partner.

Geph was once a prospering planet… until it was destroyed by one of its inhabitants. Ra'mir is an intergalactic criminal who lives in a space ship mounted with a laser cannon strong enough to destroy planets. He has blown up a multitude of planets and is constantly being chased by space police. They always fail due to his massive robot army at his disposal and his slippery escape tactics.
Ra'mir himself is overdramatic, charismatic, and maniacal. He relishes in being bad and takes pleasure in annoying others.
Ra'mir is the only person in this group who hasn't been invited to join Panderaxia. He located the base and forced the staff to let him join, unaware this would be a huge mistake…
- Be prepared for vulgar language and shifts in tone and talking speed.
- Ra'mir talks like an over-the-top and flamboyant supervillain.
- He generally sounds really playful and has a very wide range.
- But when he needs to strike fear others, he can sound downright sinister.
(Playful and evil) Now then, where was I? Oh yeeeeeeah. I’m Ra’mir fucking Akatia, and if you don’t let me stay here, I’ll blow up this entire space station! This is an easy task for the Ultimate Planet Destroyer, you know.
(Jeering) You’re such a damn ignoramus! A dingbat, wazzock, schlepper, chucklehead, fucking PALOOKA! YOU. ARE. AN. IDIOT!!!
(Maniacal) AAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

(Nervous) My apologies! I didn’t mean to make you slip. I can, um, try to clean up my slime trail if you would like…
