CASTING CALL: COSMIC HORROR GAME

Character Descriptions
Alexandra Vega Protagonist Alexandra Vega is a 32-year-old American and Constellist priestess. After attending a religious boarding school for Constellists, she went on to become a priestess; devoting her life to the worship of the stars. The Constellation is a fictional religion of which its followers pray to the stars, believing them to be the judging eyes of God.
We're looking for someone (f) to express her conflicted desire to be with and prove her loyalty to God.
William Vega William Vega was a 26-year-old American, Constellist priest and creative in his spare time. He grew up in an influential family of wealthy merchants. He met and fell in love with Alexandra during his time at a Constellist seminary. At the time of the story, he is deceased. However, he will be very much alive in Alexandra's memories.
We're looking for someone (m) who can express William's passion for his faith and his love for Alexandra.
