FAN CAST

What is a Fan Cast?

To assign a real-life person to play the role of a fictional character, based on one's preferences as a fan.

Why create a Fan Cast?

I wanted to make La Soldier as visually immersive as possible. In addition to adding images to the story, I want to add a fan cast to help give readers an idea of what the characters look like. While some characters will closely resemble their anime/manga counterparts, some are re-envisioned for creative purposes.
