Additional Info
The deuteragonist of game, a monster girl in Kris's class infamous for being a violent troublemaker. After she and Kris are paired together for a school group project, they're sent on an errand to retrieve chalk from the school's supply closet where they inadvertently wander into the Dark World. While initially closed off and aloof, her journey with through the Dark World with Kris slowly mellows her out, changing her from cruel and rude bully to kind-hearted and still rude friend.
What I'm looking for here is a gruff, butchy voice that can consistently sound threatening, silly, kind, and crude.
(Aloof, uncaring) "Me? Some kind of hero or something...? You've got the wrong person."
(Excited) Can't be mad about another adventure, right? C'mon, Kris! Let's go!
(Angry) "... what? Why the HELL would I do that? IT attacked US. Let's smash it before it moves."
The ruler of the Card Castle, the King of Spades is Lancer's father, and the one trying to halt the progress of the Lightner heroes.
I'm looking for a lot of gravitas and a smidge of silliness. King is both a threatening figure and something of a dork.
"Soon, this world shall be blanketed in darkness... And DARKNERS shall RULE it! Then, you may see what it is like to live in DESPAIR!"
"To my people, I'm a hero. To you? I'M THE BAD GUY!!!"
"Ah. Your prejudice made my bluff too effective, I see... besides, even IF I threw him, he would just... bounce. My son is... a bouncy little pumpkin."
The Jack of Spades, and son of the King. A kid who really, really wants to be evil, and yet is incredibly bad at it.
Just do a silly little boy, a fun little guy, a real rapscallion.
"Ho ho ho! The bad guys score another scot-free victory!"
Well well well... Look who it is. The Sweet Little Peas We Love to See.
"No, I love ditches but I would never ditch you! I was simply relaxing in Kris's spacious Pants Hole."
The Duke of Puzzles appointed by the King to stop the heroes from traversing his Card Castle. He has a lot of bombast that doesn't quite make up for his lack of skill in making puzzles.
You know what to do, a classical Ye Olde English diction peppered with some modern crassness in times of frustration.
"I amst the Duke of Puzzles, Rouxls Kaard. My hobbies includest calligraphy, lawkeeping, bugkeeping, cages... and long walks in the dungeon. Artest thou one of my admirers, worm?"
"Gullible worms! That wasn'tst REALLY my ultimate puzzle! I have a wayst better one right... here!"
(Drop the accent, or don't. Up to your interpretation.) "GOD. DAMN IT."
Kris and Asriel's mother. She is also a teacher for a younger class at the school.
C'mon, you know what I'm gonna be looking for here. The affectionate and warm tone of a good mother that could soothe a child in need.
"I hope it stays this way when Asriel visits next week. But I wonder... after the excitement of university... will he still enjoy coming home to this little town?"
"Oh, Kris, er... does this sometimes... alright, where the hell is Kris?"
"Kris, if you do not wake up, we will be late for school!"
Kris and Asriel's father, and the kind owner of a small flower shop. He had a falling-out with Toriel some time in the past. The more things change...
Asgore is a sweet, gentle man and y'all know it, maybe just a tad pathetic at times as a recent divorcee. Lean into that, perhaps with a warm baritone.
"Perhaps when Asriel comes home... We could all go to the diner, just like old times..."
(Wistfully and bisexually) "I was.. his Santa. He was... my Rudolph."
"Haha! Don't worry. They're the first ones I asked! They're such good listeners, you know. Flowers."
The timid youngest daughter of Rudolph Holiday, and the second smartest student in class. While a bit of a doormat, Noelle is unfailingly nice and polite to everyone. Originally just a minor NPC in Hometown, Noelle becomes the Guest-Star Party Member and deuteragonist of Chapter 2, where she's kidnapped by Queen so she become her "Willing Peon" in her quest to Take Over the World and create more Dark Fountains. During the "Weird Route", Noelle's role becomes even more important than on the normal route, for better or worse.
A soft and sweet voice is what I seek here, simple as that.
(Wistful) "It's a dream, right? I'd grow big angel wings, and fly as far as I can, gazing back at it all... The skyline shining like holiday lights."
(Flustered) "Y-you're right! Even if I asked her, she'd...probably just laugh at me. And, gosh, push me to the ground, and...l-laugh at me some more, and then... (...What were we talking about again?)"
(Horrified) Why are you wearing... my watch? Wh... when did you...
One of the teachers at Kris's school... at least, she tries to be.
Channel your inner weeb, show me you can play the awkward yet good-natured geek!
"I'm the cool teacher, y'know. You're not in trouble."
"You were, um, s-sleeping all class... D-don't worry! I'm not mad! J... just concerned! [with a smirk] (Usually you only sleep through the start.)"
"What? Wh-what am I watching on my phone? It's schoolwork of course! A-animated schoolwork..."
A blue anthropomorphic bird. The (self-proclaimed) smartest guy in class, he's quite smug about his intelligence.
I'm looking for maximum smugness and geek-a-tude! Do. Your. Worst.
"Ah, Kris. Late again, I see."
"Your unique skillset might help a LOT on this assignment! Pfft, NOT! I actually want to get an 'A!'"
"Fear not, my beloved Noelle!! This valiant warrior of brave intelligence Will be your knight in glow in the dark armor!"
The owner of a local grocery store who just moved into town. The funny bad-time bone-boy meme skeleton.
I know most of you are just going to do your best Cr1tikal impression, which is fine. Any other interpretations are also welcome, within reason.
"yeah, it's real nice, isn't it? especially considering i've never met you before."
"brother...? what are you talking about? ... ...i don't have a brother. haha, just messin' with ya. i totally do. ...though, to be honest... i never mentioned him to you, did i? ...not gonna lie. a little weird you asked. i'd never let my brother hang out with a stranger. especially not alone, or in my house. that's way too irresponsible. try to have some self-awareness, ok? meanwhile, i'll ask what his schedule is."
"i already "befriended" your mom last night."
The local police chief, and everyone's favorite boisterous fish lesbian.
NGAAAAAAAAAAH! I mean... Undyne's voice is rather open to interpretation, so long as you act with eccentricity and some toughness.
"HEY, PUNK!!! GET OUT OF THE ROAD!!! YOU'RE BLOCKIN' TRAFFIC!!!!"
"Hey, by the way, that yellow glasses lady. Is she your teacher? She kinda had an accident earlier on her, uh, bike. Just wanted to make sure she was feeling better."
(Referring to a postcard) "LOOK, 'GET WELL SOON' IS ALL THE STORE HAD! OPEN IT AND I'LL ARREST YOU!!"
Noelle's father, and husband to the mayor. Currently hospitalized for an unspecified illness.
Work into the chill, fun-loving dad angle. Kind and silly, but capable of being serious on occasion.
"Well jingle my goshdarn bells! Looks like Krismas came early!"
(Playfully and bisexually) "Hey, what's wrong with a married man getting flowers?"
"Kris, you jealous you don't have your own wall plaque? Amazing what's being done with our taxpayer dollars, huh?"
A cynical shopkeeper. Formerly the court magician.
A role largely open to interpretation, gimme your own take on this character.
"You too, will begin to realize the futility of your actions. Ha ha ha... At that time, feel free to come back here. I'll make you tea... And we can toast... to the end of the world!"
"Around here, you learn to pass the time... or go mad, like everyone else."
"The name's Seam. Pronounced 'Shawm'."
A clown-like entity that is imprisoned in Card Castle on the "??????" floor. Various sources indicate that he was imprisoned before the current crisis with the King began. He doesn't seem to follow the rules of reality very well. He's the Superboss of Chapter 1.
To me, he sounds like Cicero from Skyrim. However, take the angle that you feel is best for a being of CHAOS CHAOS.
"UEE HEE! VISITORS, VISITORS! NOW WE CAN PLAY, PLAY! THEN, AFTER YOU, I CAN PLAY WITH EVERYONE ELSE, TOO!"
"CHAOS, CHAOS, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!"
"LOST THE CHASE, AND LOCKED UP THEIR ENTIRE RACE, BUILDING A PRISON AROUND THE WHOLE WORLD. NOW I'M THE ONLY FREE ONE."
The younger sister of Catty. Pays more attention to her phone than to her surroundings.
Looking for a bored and aloof teenage emo gal here, play into the low-energy vibe.
(About her family) Dad. Mom. Sister. Ukelele. Football games. Soap operas. Yelling. Standing on tables. Afraid of vacuums. Stupid. Loud. Very loud. Kris...you and I. Studied occult. Together. ...Incantation for silence. ...Find it. Tell me.
"... don't die."
"KRISP!! awa... ver sorz... tem already have partner..."
"tem partner with... EG!"
A snake with a cool hat.
Bro! Show off your sickest surfer dude and/or fraternity jock impression! Or... something else, it's chill dude.
"We SEEM different, but me and Catti have a TON, In common!"
"It was hula hoop day, and they ran out of hoops for us... so she used me instead! That's our origin story!
"Bro, I'm straight up not having a good time right now."
An armless, young reptile monster who attends the same class as Kris.
Youthful and friendly is all I ask for, the Kid is pretty straightforward.
"Yo, Kris! Show up earlier next time!"
"Now he keeps turning to me and saying "Howdy Partner!" like a cowboy..."
A young Snowdrake infamous for telling the most awful puns. Always speaks in a ridiculous cowboy accent.
Honestly? Just go with your gut.
"Partn'er? I hardly know 'er! Hahaha! Whaddya think of that one?! Funny, right?
A long-suffering employee at ICE-E's P"E"ZZA. Has a dour outlook on life.
Have you worked in retail? If you have, that inner screaming voice you would hear during shifts? That's him.
"Little buddy, you won't believe this! I... have a girlfriend! Asriel, you've GOT to tell Asriel right now!"
"I can't slack off for SECONDS without hearing... "Be a team player, there's no I in PEEZA!" YES THERE IS. YOU JUST TOOK IT OUT."
A purple anthropomorphic cat and older sister to Catti.
"Lil Krissy!!! Like, what's up!?"
"Oh my god, Asriel! Like, what a cutie pie! Do you remember when me and him went to the dance?"
"Like, that green girl next door? Oh my god, Krissy. She's like... my LIFE VILLAIN."
A green anthropomorphic alligator and Catty's next door neighbor.
"Krissy! Like, long time no see!"
"Remember that time I played truth or dare with Azzy? I, like, made him give me his first kiss..."
"Ugh, that chick next door drives me NUTS. I keep seeing her EVERYWHERE I go. She's a TOTAL copycat.
