For the longest time, I identified as homoromantic (aka asexual gay), but for the past year, I have realized that I might dont actually like men either. But, I still have some questions, and I really need other people's opinions on a few points:

1. ​I only like men because of their physical appearance, not because of their personality or other traits

2. ​I want to be in a relationship with someone only to be closer to them, not necessarily for a long term or short term commitment

3. ​I sometimes fantasize about someone, but it would feel disgusting to me if those scenarios actually happened in real life

4. ​The same applies to porn, I do not usually watch it, but if I do, it doesnt disgust me, whereas entering into a real life sexual relationship would disgust me

What am I? Feel free to ask as many questions as you want

Damon Maitsu: He originally auditioned for "The Ultimate Historian," but while auditioning, he was going through a break up, so he didn’t give off the calm historian vibes the producers were looking for. However, they noticed his responsive behavior and gave him "The Ultimate Debater’s" lines, and not surprisingly, they liked it. He has a British accent, but for his role, he speaks with an American accent. He wasn’t given a detailed death order, so most of his reactions while solving the case were real.

Eva Tsunaka: She's a not-so-famous in-universe cosplayer. In reality, she is very nice and supportive. When she heard about her character’s persona and fate, she tried to change it; she was even okay with being the first victim. After Wolfgang’s addition to the cast, this possibility was directly brushed aside. She eventually accepted her character but started improvising it while filming. No one noticed that she had lied about her talent during mock-up filming. In the end, Tozu gave her the opportunity to make the most out of it. Fun fact: they didn’t inform her that Cara’s hand would tear during her execution. She thought she was going to be saved by Cara, and then stabbed to death by her. However, when Cara’s hand tore, her reaction was genuine. This was a prank done by Tozu as a reference to her “Liar” joke.

Ulysses Wilhelm: He was one of Tozu’s college friends and served as the school drama club president for three years. Despite being an engineer, he was good at acting. Tozu asked him to join as a way to thank him for his efforts in the drama club. However, he was tired of acting and was planning to give it up after college, so as not to be rude, he auditioned for the protagonist role. He didn’t give very expressive reactions during the audition, and after leaving, he wasn’t selected for the protagonist but was instead cast as "The Ultimate Historian." He was working at a company as an engineer while filming, so he never had time to memorize his lines. Instead, he wrote them in a notebook. This was later revealed after his character’s death, when the notebook was left on the set after his final day.

Grettchen Morgan (a.k.a. Grace Madison): She's a famous in-universe celebrity and model. She started acting when she was 9 and played the main roles in most of her movies. Tozu wasn’t expecting her to accept the role, but when she got a call from her manager, she went directly to the set. However, when she learned that she wasn’t the main character and wasn’t even planned to survive, she almost dropped the role. That’s when Wolfgang and Toshiko walked in, and she was immediately attracted to him. Toshiko noticed this before everyone else and offered her character’s fate to her. With this, Grace became a survivor, and Toshiko became the Chapter 3 killer. She and Wolfgang started flirting between sets and became the first official couple in the series itself as well. Her accent was just for fun while filming, but everyone agreed to include it in the final version.

Cassandra "Cassidy" Amber: She's a well-known in-universe streamer. Her channel blew up after her role in Season 1. Most of the time, she wasn’t acting; according to her, she was “just going with the flow.” When she read the script, she was very excited to be the mastermind. She was more like an annoying little sister toward everyone. During one of her streams, she revealed that she was the mastermind, but no one really cared, so it became a meme: “I’m the mastermind.” She was the one who came up with the animal motif ideas, since she was always forgetting people’s names and referring to them with animals. Tozu also offered her another role after this, since she was both a fan and the director’s favorite.

Mark Berskii: He had always played extras throughout his career. However, when he was cast by PJEG, he was asked to play "The Ultimate Music Producer." The only condition was that he had to play at least one instrument. Although he couldn't, he claimed that he did. ​While filming his musical scene, it became clear he didn't know how to play. When asked why he had lied, he simply said he had misunderstood the question. By the time the producers realized the truth, it was too late to recast, so they hired a musician to teach him. ​During an online meeting, he caught Jett's eye. When Jett opened up about his feelings, Mark rejected him because he was already in a relationship with his boyfriend. Mark initially thought the script for Season 2 (Chapters 4–6) was a joke, but the similarities to his life were just a coincidence.

Ingrid Grimwall: She has performed in musicals her entire life, so this was her first non-musical role. In her personal life, when she is not acting, she works as a personal coach. She was told not to bring her trainees to work, since it might cause leaks, but she didn’t give up. As a result, the production team decided to introduce a gym in the finale of Season 2, after her death, so she could work with them there. On set, she mostly played the role of a caring mom and was liked by everyone. She genuinely thought Toshiko was a child until her execution in the Season 1 finale.

Jean Delamer: He actually went to the audition to support his girlfriend while she was giving an audition. While waiting, someone burst out of the room and threw the audition script in front of him. He was bored, so he gave it a shot. The production team didn’t really have a choice since they were looking for a muscular guy for the role. Surprisingly, he was pretty quick to adapt to his role and to acting life. One of the hardest things to do was his tattoos, since he was against tattooing just for a role, so they gave him temporary tattoos. When he found out his girlfriend wasn’t chosen, he tried to cheer her up, but she ended up breaking up with him. After his role, he received many offers but turned them down and went silent after his performance in PJEG.

Wenona: She is the oldest of the cast and a drama teacher at an established drama school for children and adults. She is one of the first selected cast members and one of the writers of PJEG. She was actually very happy when Tozu wrote her character as the opposite of her personality and her previous theatre roles, so she finally broke out of her usual type. During sets, she remembers everyone’s lines, so no one needs to look at the script again. During the show, she also came out as a lesbian to the media. Between sets, she does interviews and behind-the-scenes recordings for social media.

Desmond Hall: He was originally brought to PJEG as a movement and archery trainer for the actor cast as the “Ultimate Marksman.” His job was to teach weapon handling and make sure the actor looked believable on screen. But while training, he quickly realized the actor was terrible under pressure and couldn’t keep up with basic physical control. So instead of forcing it, Desmond gradually pushed him out of the role during training, correcting him more strictly than necessary until the actor eventually quit. With no suitable replacement left, and Desmond being the only one who could consistently perform everything correctly, he ended up getting cast as the Ultimate Marksman himself.

Project: Edens Garden is a film/series made by Toshiaki Zukawa (a.k.a. ToZu) a graduate of film studies.

Cast:

Hosts:

Tozu: He is the producer and main host. He originally wanted to work behind the camera, but Cara, a famous TV show host, canceled the contract at the last minute, leaving the show without a host just a few hours before filming. Instead of delaying, Tozu takes on the role but insists on wearing a mask.

Mara Naor: She is one of Tozu’s former classmates. In reality, she can never stay serious; whenever a serious situation arises, she bursts out laughing. To prevent this, Tozu gave her a mask to match his aesthetic and hide her unserious expressions. It didn’t work for the first few days, as she laughed so hard that filming had to stop. After a while, she got used to her role, but some still say she was smiling the whole time under her mask. She was also preparing for a musical during Season 1 (CH0–1), so she didn’t have any lines, as she needed to rest her voice.

Students:

Wolfgang Akire: Tozu met him after speaking with Edward Akire, the rector of Eden University and Wolfgang’s father. Edward was pleased that one of his former graduates had begun such a large project, so he granted him access to the old campus for filming. Wolfgang had always wanted to be an actor but never had the time due to his law degree. Tozu was saddened by this, as he wanted everyone to have meaningful stage experience. His original script included 14 people, but he added Wolfgang as the 15th and another person as the 16th. He gave him a small but important role. Wolfgang was happy with both the role and the experience.

Toshiko Kayura Zukawa: Tozu’s half-sister. She also wants to study film studies like her older brother. Since Wolfgang was added and the even number of the cast was disrupted, Tozu cast her as a member of the cast. Despite being 18, she looked much younger. Tozu asked if she was okay with being cast as a 14 year old, and Toshiko agreed. She was originally meant to be a survivor, as Tozu didn’t want to write the death of a 14 year old. However, Toshiko wanted to be an unforgettable character and switched her status with Grace, who wanted more screen time anyway.

Kenshin Flores (a.k.a. Kai Monteago): He is a well-known influencer in-universe. Instead of using his real name, the production gave his character a different name and surname. Unlike most of the cast, he already had public recognition. When his manager told him about the project, he immediately agreed to join. The only thing he disliked about his character was that he was both an antagonist and a victim who died without any development. During the table read, he and Damon started flirting as a joke, which eventually turned into something real during filming. After noticing their chemistry, Tozu came up with the idea of making them bunkmates, as it wouldn’t have made sense for only the two of them to share that dynamic, which also led to further development and a rewrite of Kai’s character without changing the death order. Damon and Kai started dating after the first half of Season 1.

Diana Venicia: She was also one of Tozu’s classmates but had never spoken to him until filming began. Instead of joining as an actor, she came on board as a summer intern, working as a makeup artist and backstage assistant. She was very helpful and likable. However, one of the cast members, Damian, a volleyball player and model, dropped out a few days after the table read. While the team searched for a replacement, Diana was asked to read his lines. Everyone was impressed with her talent, and Tozu cast her in Damian’s role, rewriting the character to fit her.

Jett Dawson: His actor is a famous voice actor in-universe. After the first few days of filming, his schedule started to get disrupted, but he didn’t want to back out of his role. Diana came up with the idea of using a stunt double wearing a mask to physically portray the character, while he would continue voicing the lines. Everyone liked the idea, and his character was turned into a faceless figure, voiced by Jett Dawson.

Eloise Taulner: She was one of the first selected cast members. She comes from a family of actors, but she is the most outcast member of her family and lives with her aunt, who is a director, and her cousins in a mansion. One day, while doing her chores, her cousins threw their homework onto her table and forced her to do it for them. In one of their books, she found a letter, opened it, and saw an invitation to audition for a PJEG character. She took the letter and went to the audition, pretending to be her cousin, thinking she would fail anyway. However, just before she left the building, she was called back and told she had been selected. She confessed everything, expecting to be rejected, but no one seemed to care, and they simply said her cousin would have deserved it. She accepted the role and joined the cast.
