[LEAD ROLE] ~80 words/9 lines
Includes shouting, grunts/sfx, possible screaming.
A TV-headed robot trying to adapt to an independent lifestyle in a society re-embracing postmodern retro-90's culture. He’s currently living with Check, his roommate who takes care of most of the responsibilities around the place, but Palmtop is determined to prove himself useful. Being a bit hollow-headed and clumsy, he struggles to find himself reliable. He makes up for this in positivity, kindness and sheer willpower. Though he's desperate for love, his naivety leads him awry as Check struggles to confess his own feelings.
Palmtop is energetic and enthusiastic. He has a bubbly voice that can get a bit whiny sometimes. Masculine, from teen to young-adult vocal range. Not necessarily high-pitched, but animated, expressive and natural.

[LEAD ROLE] ~80 words/12 lines
Includes grunts/sfx.
An intelligent goldfish with a robot body, living life in a society re-embracing postmodern retro-90's culture. He’s currently living with Palmtop, his ditzy roommate who is determined to prove himself useful. Introverted and a bit awkward, Check normally keeps to himself, tinkering away at his makeshift workshop. He has a hard time expressing himself and often comes off as stoic and cold, which isolates him from his peers. Check also struggles to convey his feelings for his friend and ends up roped up in his hijinks.
Check is level-headed, smart and pragmatic, and has an articulate yet sincere voice. Possibly comes off as a bit dorky or awkward. He has a deeper voice than Palmtop.
