Land of the Lustrous / Houseki No Kuni - Voice acting & editing group
Project Overview
Hello!
In the mysterious future, crystalline organisms called Gems inhabit a world that has been destroyed by six meteors. Each Gem is assigned a role in order to fight against the Lunarians, a species who attacks them in order to shatter their bodies and use them as decorations.
Phosphophyllite, also known as Phos, is a young and fragile Gem who dreams of helping their friends in the war effort. Instead, they are told to compile an encyclopedia because of their delicate condition. After begrudgingly embarking on this task, Phos meets Cinnabar, an intelligent gem who has been relegated to patrolling the isolated island at night because of the corrosive poison their body creates. After seeing how unhappy Cinnabar is, Phos decides to find a role that both of the rejected Gems can enjoy. Houseki no Kuni follows Phos' efforts to be useful and protect their fellow Gems.
(I stole that from google.)

Phosphophyllite is the main protagonist and the youngest Gem when the story began. They're weak, brittle - not suited for battle - and their clumsiness makes them difficult to maintain any other roles. Phos has always wanted to be useful.
Phos' initial job was to make a natural history encyclopedia which they progressed very little on. They promised to help Cinnabar find a job suited for them as well.
Phos so far is the only Gem who has had drastic body and personality changes.
In a bit of a stuck up voice.
"Oh yeah? Who's gonna make me?"Carefree voice, as if nothing bad is about to happen.
"Oooo~! Let me just touch this. I wonder what it is?"Mature, Calm voice.
"Well, At least I know the difference between Right and Left now."
Cinnabar is the only Gem who goes on night patrol. Due to their body producing poison which is harmful for Gems and living things, they are isolated and ashamed of themselves. They hate fighting and hate to be seen.
According to Rutile, Cinnabar has an extraordinary amount of talent and combat ability, but is too much to handle due to their uncontrollable poison that ruins everything it touches. Cinnabar's silver poison gathers faint light at night, which keeps them awake and aware while night patrolling. According to Kongo-sensei, the night patrol is something Cinnabar came up with by themselves.
Calm, until the end, they get a slight growl in their voice.
"I'll go to the moon one day.. You'll see! YOU'LL ALL SEE!"
"Please, Don't come near me! I don't want to hurt anyone else.."
Kongo is the head of the Gems, acting as the teacher, protector, and father figure. He teaches the Gems about the current world and its history, and decides the role suited for each of them. He has overwhelming offensive power and can disperse the Moon People in one blow. He becomes incredibly intimidating when angered.
A tired, sleepy tone.
"Jade, you tell nobody about this."
Sleepy tone, But with power.
"-Yawn- Its too late to fall back, Fools!"
Think of anything you might think would fit his role.
Jade is one of the Gems who mainly works as Kongo-sensei's spokesperson. They've been nicknamed the 'Chairman' (議長, Gichō) by the other Gems.
They're the second place when it comes to being hard to break.
Trying to lie, but failing horribly.
"W-What!? I didn't steal your sword Dia, W-why would you think that?"
"R-Rutile! Why would you do that!?"
Antarcticite, also called Antarc, is one of the Gems who mainly does patrol duty and some other work specifically in the winter. Due to their gem's characteristic, during most of the year they 'sleep' in liquid form when temperatures are warm. They re-crystallize when the temperature drops during the winter. The colder the temperature, the harder they become.
"We low-hardness Gems have nothing if not our courage."
"Make sure sensei isn't lonely, Take care of winter for me.. Phosphophyllite.."
"Aww.. Phos is such a cute kid. I wish I was that cute when I was a little gem."
"Phos... Is an odd one. But... If you care for them, then I do too."
Padparadscha is one of the Gems who was mainly on patrol duty, but is currently inactive. They were born with an incomplete torso, which leaves them unconscious most of the time. They are the partner of Rutile, who works continuously to devise replacements for their missing parts in order to cure them of their unstable condition. Rutile has not yet achieved this and has only managed to keep them awake and active for short amounts of time.
"Just five more minutes Rutile."
"Everyone here knows. We don't question sensei, Because he cares for us. He isn't dangerous, but he is mysterious.. Be careful young one. You never know.."
Euclase (ユークレース, Yūkurēsu) is one of the Gems who does patrol duty, secretary work, strategy planning, and everything else.
Covering up for jade.
"I'm sorry, Please ignore jade. They are a bit... under the weather right now. But no, we haven't seen your sword. Perhaps ask Obsidian? I saw them walking around the dorm's awhile ago."
Diamond (ダイヤモンド, Daiyamondo), also called Dia, is one of the Gems who mainly does patrol duty. Despite their high offensive power, their toughness is second rate and they're easily broken. The other Gems consider them lovely and a top fashion model.
Scary, and creepy.
"I'm glad we split Bortz.. Please.. You don't need a weak gem like me on your team.."
Do any line you think would fit them.
Very rude, and a bit angsty.
"Phosphophyllite, Get out of my dorm before I rip your head off, and feed it to the jellyfish."
Do any line you think would fit them.
Rutile (ルチル, Ruchiru) is one of the Gems, and mainly works as a doctor. They repair the cracked or broken Gems, and also handle the management of herbs, pastes, powders, and other medical remedies. The other Gems have commented on their "nice long legs", saying that they give them the appearance of a model.
They are always found at work or sleeping on one side of the hall, surrounded by cupboards, boxes, and herbs. They are the partner of the unstable Padparadscha, whose body they are trying to maintain
Scary tone.
"Well, It seems something is wrong with you, Jade dear.. Thats Weird.~"
"Phos, Please cooperate for the sake of Science, Public Benefit, and my Personal Research."
Cairngorm (カンゴーム, lit Kangōmu) is a Gem who appears midway in the story. They used to be the inner shell of Ghost Quartz, who has a multilayered structure and thus two personalities. After Ghost Quartz was taken to the moon, they became active in their stead.
Ghost Quartz is one of the Gems, they work as a librarian and take part in patrol duty. They are also in charge of the long-term recovery facilities located on the fourth floor.
Author note: I'd like an VA who an do both Cairngorm's serious and mature voice, and Ghost quart''s light, fluffy voice. If your not able to do both, but want to audition for just one, then i've left some lines for you! :) So if you want to just do ghost, then you can.
Cairngorm Lines:
"I saw you Reach out.."
"Phosphophyllite! Let me go! I'm not your gem antarc!"
"This... Is all so wrong."
Ghost Quart's Lines:
"You resemble my partner Lapis.. You act like them, and have so much potential.. Dont waste it."
"Sensei, Where has phos gone?"
"Cairngorm once took over me.. They wanted to see what lunarian's looked like.."
Say whatever fits!
Lapis Lazuli (ラピスラズリ, Rapisu Razuri) is one of the Gems. They were the head of the Library; a position now taken up by their former partner Ghost Quartz after Lapis was taken by the Moon People. Upon being taken, only their head was able to be retrieved. This head would later on be used by Phosphophyllite.
Say something you think would fit
"Wait.. What!? Cairngorm, you can't be serious?"
"Will you.. Come to the moon with me?"
Aechmea (エクメア, Ekumea) is the leader of the Moon People, playing an antagonistic role throughout most of the story, though he is not introduced until later on.
Say something you think would fit
"Welcome phosphophyllite. I've been expecting you."
"Please, Don't call me that, Padparad.. It's embarrassing."
