Lend me your voice!

Today I want to talk about some of the characters from my book in the making 'Ravenous Adventures -- A Tale from Neverbeen Universe'. As I already told you in another blogpost I know them like the back of my hand.
I drew a couple of pictures for the novel, so you'll be able to see how I imagine them -- so they might come alive in your minds as you read my story. But what a book can't provide is a voice. And I have specific ideas how my characters sound like.

So let me introduce my characters and tell you who I envision to be their seiyuu (voice actors). :D

Raphael Raven is a 2482 years-old Daemon and the CEO of Raven Corp, which specializes in IT and computer games. He originally comes from a highly magical world, where humanity is almost extinct, but currently lives in Thuddington City on Earth. Calm and collected, Raphael is a natural leader and specializes in telepathy and teleportation. He might be reckless about his own health -- he has a weak heart condition --, but he cares deeply for the few persons dear to him. His hobbies are cooking and dragons.
I imagine his voice like Matthew Heafy's from the band Trivium. (A lot of their songs are very fitting to him and his situation also. :o)

Gene Hoffman is a 32 years-old human from Thuddington City. He is Raphael's lover of a good seven years. Gene is very laid-back and good-natured, he is compassionate and caring. Gene works as game tester for a games magazine and part-time voice actor. He is a foodie and a nerd. Raphael has taught him telepathy. Gene is a huge fan of Raven Corp, and he likes dragons. He would leave everything behind and follow his lover into his magical world.
His voice would be Ville Valo's from the band HIM.

Thanatos Vulture is the most gentlemanly Reaper there is. His species and age are unknown. He is Raphael's best friend. Reasonable and very polite, Thanatos is a workaholic who has a very deep fondness for coffee. He is a man of principles and high morale. His way of speech is old-fashioned and stiff; he uses Japanese suffixes to express respect appropriately. Always keeping his countenance he hardly shows emotions, but he worries for his best friend and for his former apprentice.
His seiyuu would be Toshiyuki Morikawa (voice actor, famous roles are Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children or Naraku from Inu Yasha).

Azrael is a new Reaper and used to be Thanatos's apprentice. Before he became Reaper he was a human named Jake Darjeeling, but passing the examination he gave up that identity with all of his memories and mannerisms. Azrael is like a blank canvas. He tries to fit in with the Reapers and finds himself in situations of questionable morale as he tries to figure out the right thing to do. Out of the Reapers he respects his former mentor, Thanatos, the most and he shares his fondness for coffee.
To me his voice actor is John Legend.

Phobos Morgenstern is Lucifer's youngest son and his heir. He lives at Lucifer's castle in Hell and tends to the twilight gardens and his spirit forge. He is Raphael's best rival and gives people insulting nicknames. (Phobos calls Raphael 'Bloody Frailtard' while he in turn is dubbed 'Old Grump'.) Choleric and foul mouthed, Phobos is an ingenious seal technician and expert exorcist. While he would deny any help, he in truth is very reliable and strong. He bakes the best chocolate cookies in all the Realms.
I imagine his voice is Alexander Spreng's from the band ASP.

Ayumu Nakashima is a human witch, who has so many seals and curses about her that her life expectancy is greatly enhanced. She is Phobos's girlfriend and lives with him in Hell; he nicknamed her 'Manipulative Hag'. Ayumu is very good at healing magic, she is kind but stands her ground. She is one of the very few people who can calm Phobos (as much a she can rile him up). Ayumu is witty and a good friend. She is a voice of reason.
Her voice would be Emilie Autumn's.

Sendrith is a shrewd demon, who has been abducted as a boy, brainwashed and formed into a wretched creature. At his lord's main fortress he is the master of dungeons. He is ruthless, cruel, clever and eager to please his lord. Due to his training and brainwash he likes to inflict pain as much as he likes to receive it. Sendrith would do anything for his master.
His voice actor should be Yoann Lemoine (Woodkid).

Number 463/Yumír is a young shadow devil, a magical creature who can transform into anyone his counterpart wishes to see most -- he creates a perfect carbon copy of that person. As he is very talented he can also transform into different things or people. Shadow devils are very dangerous creatures when the grow up and suffer from identity crisis. Number 463 is named after ther number on his collar, as he belongs to the same master as Sendrith. He is a lonely, sweet, shy boy who is so very grateful Sendrith does not shun him that he is willing to do almost anything for Sendrith. He is so glad to finally receive a name of his own -- Yumír.
I imagine his voice like Maggie Eckford's (Ruelle).
