Unveil The Shadow: Audition Sheet 2

Shawna Carsh:

A beautiful young girl with a dark past. She puts on a brave face but she is hurting inside day after day. One of the nicest girls at Elliot's school but she doesn't talk to him or his friends.

Lines:

“Shawna? What are you in for?”

“Oh, you know,” she said nonchalantly, “got caught doing my makeup in class. Apparently that's a sin now. What'd you do?”

“Robbed a bank,” said Elliot calmly. “I tried to stash the money in my desk but Haney caught me. Wish he'd let me keep it.”

They both laughed at this.

“Seriously, though,” she said. “What'd you do?”

“Nothing serious,” said Elliot. “I was falling asleep in class. It's Haney's fault really. If he wasn't so boring I'd be able to stay awake.”

Shawna smiled. “So, Elliot. I was wondering-”

“What the hell are you doing,” Shawna asked. “You're going to get us all in trouble.”

“Lighten up, babe,” said Felix, a stupid grin on his face. “Rules were meant to be broken.”

“Shut up, Lardo,” Elliot said. “You are such an idiot.”

“Why don't you make me,” Felix said, walking right up to Elliot.

“You're not worth it,” said Elliot nonchalantly.

“Just stop, Felix,” said Shawna. “What are you trying to prove.”

Ad Lib: Talk about your day at school. Be sure to put on a happy face. This is the kind of thing where it would be good to sound almost too happy. Like you're not really as happy as you say you are.

Felix Logan:

A bully at school. He is very fat and very stupid. He spends most of his time getting detention and shaking down kids for their lunch money.

Lines:

“Well look who we have here,” Felix said, spotting Elliot. “What are you doing here, dorkenstein? Shouldn't you be out playing with your dolls or something?”

“Lighten up, babe,” said Felix, a stupid grin on his face. “Rules were meant to be broken.”

“Shut up, Lardo,” Elliot said. “You are such an idiot.”

“Why don't you make me,” Felix said, walking right up to Elliot.

“You're not worth it,” said Elliot nonchalantly.

“Just stop, Felix,” said Shawna. “What are you trying to prove.”

“I'm proving that dorkenstein here is a coward. He's too afraid to fight me.”

“I just told you, idiot,” Elliot said, getting angry, “you're not worth fighting.”

“You're just a coward,” Felix smirked. “Why don't you go home and cry to your mommy? Oh that's right, you can't.” Felix cackled in glee.

Ad Lib: Think of a bunch of insults to throw Elliot's way or think of something bad to say about the teachers in the school (or the school itself)

Victor Kain

The history teacher at the school. He is something of a recluse. He only appears when he has classes to teach and spends most of his time in his study. When teaching, he spends most of his time connecting random historic events to one another.

Lines:

“What is it,” Haney snapped.

“I need a word with you,” said Kain, “privately.”

“Can't this wait, Victor. I'm in the middle of-”

“No, Harold,” Kain interrupted. “This is urgent.”

“Fine,” Haney sighed. “I'll give you five minutes. Not a second more.” He turned and faced us. “If anything happens while I'm gone, I'll give you a punishment so horrible you'll wish you were expelled.”

“What is it, Victor,” Haney snapped. “You interrupted my detention.”

“Harold,” said Kain, gazing at Haney with questioning eyes. “What are you planning?”

“What the devil are you talking about,” said Haney, even more angrily.

“You know exactly what I'm talking about, Harold,” Kain said slowly. “I know your secret. Now, tell me what it is you're planning.”

“You're trying my patience, Victor. I have not the slightest idea what you're prattling on about.”

“Stop playing dumb, Harold-”

Ad Lib: Say some random connections you can think of between historic events. For example: Hitler and the Trojan war.

Principle Bob Marlin:

The principle of Elliot's school. He seems to be the only worthwhile faculty member of the school. He cares about his students very much and does everything he can to protect them. He sees the faults in the bad students but wants to make them better. He treats his students as family and treats his teachers as pets, to be watched closely.

Lines:

“Harold,” said Marlin, who looked very puzzled, “this is a teenager we're talking about. I find it hard to believe that he would set up such an elaborate plan-”

“Bob-”

“Let me finish, Harold,” said Marlin, still chewing on the cigar. “As I was saying, I doubt Elliot would set up such an elaborate plan because of a grudge. Personally, I blame the school's circuitry. This isn't the first time a light bulb has randomly exploded. I've been telling the school board that we need to rewire the circuits but everyone just wants new books.”

“Harold, I've dealt with Felix before. He's not bright. He picks a fight with everyone he meets. I'm not going to punish Elliot just because he gave Felix what he deserved. Felix will live. However, I don't want you to make a habit of fighting, Elliot. I'll give you a warning this time. Next time I won't be so lenient.”

Ad Lib: Say something about the horrible state of the school.

Zenith:

One of the central villains of the story. He is shrouded in mystery but he has some connection to Elliot and his family. Very calm and collected. He doesn't raise his voice because he doesn't need to. He is just that intimidating.

Lines:

Seitzer: “Lord Zenith, the boy has revealed his location.”

Zenith “Excellent. It is time to make our move. Go, Seitzer. You know what to do.”

Seitzer: “Yes, Lord Zenith. Elliot Davis is as good as dead.”

Ad Lib: Say a few orders to your subordinates. Make sure to be intimidating without being angry. Evil without need to be overkill.

Seitzer Orion:

Zenith's arms and legs. He does most of the killing, torturing, and side jobs that Zenith needs him to do. He enjoys every moment of it, always grinning. He isn't maniacal like the joker but he's quite a sadist. He controls the power of fire and uses it without hesitation.

Lines:

Seitzer: “Lord Zenith, the boy has revealed his location.”

Zenith “Excellent. It is time to make our move. Go, Seitzer. You know what to do.”

Seitzer: “Yes, Lord Zenith. Elliot Davis is as good as dead.”

Thoughts: So this is the ‘chosen one’. He's a pretty lucky guy. I'd thought the Falke would kill him for sure. It doesn't matter, though. He'll be dead soon.

“There's no way he can survive that. Fire consumes all. Nothing survives its sweet embrace. Time to report this to Lord Zenith.”

Ad Lib: Say something completely completely messed up to do with fire.

Korrina Vallin:

A young woman who helps out Elliot when he is attacked by Seitzer. She is a plump woman who is very Irish and has a temper to match. She is out to protect Elliot but she won't hesitate to berate him for stupidity. She is a technopath, meaning she can change her weapon around at will to match her fighting style. Don't mess with her in a fight.

Lines:

“Oy, ugly. Do you really think you can take on a girl like me. Heh. In your dreams.”

“What the hell were you thinkin' Elliot. These guys aren't fuckin' messin' around. Next time you want to play the hero, shut up and let us protect you.”

Ad Lib: Get mad and say something about Elliot or Seitzer.
