Persona: The Fan Series
Project Overview
I found Persona 5 and fell in love with the series, going on to play 3 and 4 as well. I want to make this my love letter to the series and the fanbase. This is my take on the Persona world, set in a completely different universe than the actual Persona series. Not affiliated with Atlus or P-Studio in any way. Leave Discord info with audition. (P.S., I am interpreting, "per project" as the whole project for payment. Payment will come after the season is done).
There will be a season 2 if everything goes to plan, and some characters here will be included. So if you audition for a character and I reach out, that's just to see if you will also be available in the future for a Season 2, 3 etc.
Although all of the group members are listed as “Lead”, I want to make this very clear: CHARACTERS WILL DIE. So while all main characters are listed as “lead”, do not be upset if your character doesn’t make it to the end.

Casting date announcement
Hey everybody, As i’m busy with college, and there are still some roles that haven’t even started to get auditions yet, I’m announcing that there is no hard casting date anymore. Auditions can be submitted at anytime for any open role, even while the series is running. If the role is still open, you can try out for it, and it will still be just as valid as someone who submitted their audition 2 months before you. Thank you! -Jac
The new second year transfer and holder of the fool arcana. Main character and “Wild Card” of the group. Kanzen is smart, strong, dependable, and humble. Basically the perfect guy. He cares for his friends greatly, and won’t hesitate to step in to help them, even if he gets hurt in the process. (Give me your take on an average high school hero in an anime. Brave, strong, yet seemingly normal)
(Confused) What is this place....? This doesn't seem like the city at all....
(Summoning) Come to me, Decaulion!
(Motivating the team) We can't lose. We've fought so hard to get this far....we have to see this through, this is for a greater cause than any of us.
Third year student at Mount Olympus high, and one of two members of the group at the beginning of the series. A young man of considerable wit, strength, and talent, Kuroda trusts few and mostly keeps to himself. Is hiding a dark secret from the rest of the group.
You're that new second year, right? How'd you get here?
We gotta move, this is a dangerous place to just be hanging around.
SHUT UP! You know nothing about me, so don't lecture me like you fucking raised me, asshole!
Kazuma’s romantic interest and being from the “parallel world”, who can take both the form of a human and a bluebird in the parallel world and the real world. She is smart, but fragile, and gets her feelings hurt rather easily from words if it’s from someone she cares about.
(Annoyed) Well hey there, that's not a very nice thing to say, new kid!
(Chipper) I see...well, welcome to the group!
(Concerned) Kazuma…what’s wrong? You trust me, right? I became human to be with you, you don’t have to hide anything from me. *Brightly* And quite honestly, you can’t, even if you tried. *Giggle* I know you too well.
The first member to join after the initial three and Kanzen’s classmate. Kiriena is popular, yet friendly and ditzy…or maybe that’s just what she wants people to believe.
(Confused) This doesn't seem like our world....
(Impatient) Are ya gonna shut up, or do I have to smack you on top of the head to do that?
(Questioning) So this power...only we can use it?
A member of the group, and Kanzen’s classmate. Booksmart, he knows a lot when it comes to puzzles, but is regularly teased due to his lack of a social circle.
(Amazement)This is....wow, I never thought a place like this would exist.
(Thinking) I'm trying to find some kind of logical answer, but...I'm coming up with nothing
(In Despair) This is awful. Why do we have to keep fighting if we know it could end like that?
A member of the group, member of the student council, and Kuroda’s classmate. A rule enforcer that does everything by the book. The big sister of the group, she is mature and stern.
(Confused, slightly panicked, yet stern) Hey, where am I? What is this place?
(Confused, and annoyed, stern…again) And what is that delinquent Kazuma doing here?
(Motivated, yet stern….again) I see, well I guess it's my role to guide you all, then!
A first year. Shunned by her classmates for being “weird”. She is slightly off-putting, but is a person who just needs a chance to prove herself that she’s just never been given.
(Happy) I see...well, I guess I can help, then
(Pensive) People always called me weird and off, I always let it get to me. Sometimes, I would shut myself in my room. Cry, think...doesn't matter. (Slight happiness) But know I have you guys, right?
(Determined, motivated) Bring it. We're not gonna lose to you.
A second year, he is a varsity athlete and competitive, but doesn’t have any true friends. He is slightly arrogant, but deep down, he’s a nice guy just trying to find himself. (Subaki from feh, slightly less arrogant and more masculine)
(Going to bed) Welp, I'm tired. (yawn) Gonna go hit the hay.
(Motivated, Energetic). Oh, this is gonna be FUN!
(Pensive) In reality I was just running away, pretending I wasn't all of me. Rejecting parts of myself. Man, I really am an idiot, huh? Doesn't matter, my duty now is to help you guys fight.
Send in a piece of art. I will choose 2-3, so be ready to work cooperatively.

Kanzen’s guardian for a year. Voice should be somewhat deep, but have a friendly tone behind it.
(Friendly) See, was that so hard? We’ll be best friends before you know it
Don’t thank me, kid. I haven’t done nothing for you yet.
Good thing you came down. I was thinking maybe I’d have to wake you up.
The Teachers at Olympus High. The slashes indicate you can speak whichever piece of dialogue you’d rather do.
Alright class/everyone, focus.
Pay attention
Let me ask you something/Alright, let’s see if you know this.
The equivalent to the “Velvet Room” in the actual persona universe, the life’s garden is where Kanzen enters to grow and change his personas in order to reach his full potential as the wild card. Voice should be mid to high range.
(Whispering) Call it….call forth…your power…
(Softly) It seems new life has been breathed into the garden.
It seems there’s yet a new flower. A new persona, perhaps?
Just Extras
This kid’s from the city…?
We interrupt to bring you breaking news!
Move it, city-slicker!
Just Extras….except girls this time
This is the new kid…?
I wonder what he’s like?
Kazuma-kun….that’s that third-year right? Isn’t he rumored to be insane or something?
Theodon is the Greek god of reality, and will be one of the group’s most dangerous enemies, being as he can bend reality itself to his will.
(Pensive) Such an insignificant, worthless life thinks it can defeat me? Interesting….truly interesting.
(Boasting) Your power can’t help you now, after all, I am reality.
(Panting, defeated) Just answer me this. Is this truly the life you want to live? A life where the people you’ve grown to love and care for over the last year no longer exist? Because I change that. I can change the world so it can be exactly the way you want.
A powerful man, Mr. Itsumo Jinsei was a calm and confident (some would even call cocky) man before the events of the series. When we meet him, he is far from that, after receiving a threatening note from the infamous serial killer still on the loose. The reason he is so fearful is because he had a colleague of his receive a similar note, thought nothing of it, and was murdered right at the beginning of the series.
(Afraid, freaking out) He’s after me! He’s gonna kill me!
(Panicked, starting to anger) Why are you attacking me?! I’m the victim here, my life is the one being threatened!
Oh, I see, you’re working with him, aren’t you? Will then I’ll show him to not mess with me by killing you myself!
A second year at Mt. Olympus high, a popular kid on multiple sports teams and has lots of friends and many girls lining after him. Voice should be a generic outwardly friendly popular kid.
(Normally) Hey there, how’s it going? I’m Subarashi Akumu, somehow I’m popular here. Good to meet you!
(Asking, inviting) Hey, Yasa-chan, can you help me study something later?
(Crazily and creepily) Playing hard to get, huh? Well, you can’t run forever! I’m gonna find you, and then you’ll be MINE!
Looking for one-two more audio editors for the series.

A beautiful and skilled figure skater in her early to mid-twenties from Yamato increasing in popularity due to both her abilities and natural beauty, Ichika Nukushimi is shown in all her interviews to be this beautiful, kind-hearted, and hard-working woman. Unfortunately, her newfound fame, along with her parent’s pushing her to be “perfect” has taken a toll on her, and by the time the group meets her, she is broken and scared.
(Responding to interview question) Of course! You know, it’s hard work, but I do my best. I put all my effort in, my parents always said, “anything less than first is a failure”, so I put all my effort into my skating ability!
(Darkened, Distressed) People look at me and think I’m this goddess. Little do they know, the only reason I act that way is because I’m not allowed to be human, my job is to sit there and smile, pretend everything’s fine.
(Distressed, yelling) Don’t you get it?! If I go against this image, this beautiful, godlike character that’s been created, I lose everything! People will see me as a liar, and turn me into a monster, simply because they don’t accept who I really am!
I need help writing, because I think mine is not up to par enough for the majority of the series and what I want it to be. Writers will need to be able to work together, and be willing to return for future seasons.

The director role will be less of a director and more of a showrunner and partner to me. I've come to realize that being one person, having my hands in all these bags is simply too much, and I need help. The Showrunner will help me oversee the VAing, the casting, the art, the audio editing, all of it with me in order to help me keep everything in line. I am willing to pay $30 per episode for this, but if someone is willing to take a pay cut, that would help me too.
