”Show” casting rules:
-
The casting choices should be internationally known celebrities or voice actors (since the games have a world wide player base).
-
You’re allowed to gender/sex swap characters, but only the ones listed as such due to canon diablo lore.
-
Your casting choices will not change if the character is in multiple games UNLESS the character has dramatically changed physical features (much older, demon vs human vs angel etc.).
-
If there are major characters I forgot to add, feel free to cast them as well.
-
Have fun with your choices!
