Welcome to The Meliora Project!
This is the second and final casting call for the show, lead roles and more are now available to be auditioned!
Year Zero takes place at the beginning of our story, the beginning of it all.
For Satanas's whole life he was certain of two things, he was a creation of Deus, The Creator of Paradirrae. And that he was the equal to Deus. Satanas would follow Deus's dream and ambitions to the bitter end! But what happens if that bitter end is now? from the whispers of nothingness, Satanas begins to see cracks form in Deus's prophecy
Now struck with new information, Satanas must make a choice of the impossible. Follow his heart for what he believes is the greater good, or shatter the prophecy with help from the Other Angelus whom have began to see the flaws in this so called "Oasis" of Paradirrae

[Lead Role]
Wide eyed and curious. At times he is too friendly and trusting to others and it's very clear with his relationship to Deus. His ideas and beauty put him at a standoff with the rest of the Angelus who align themselves with The Creator. While he does have a hard time connecting and finding his place among the others, he has a strong mentorship with Micheal and a close bond with others like Asmodeus and Samael, and maybe one with Beelzebub if he warms up to him.
Now hold on, I doubt Deus would want you to punish him like that. That is simply barbaric.
[laughs] For fun, you should try it some time. [light and airy, playful] What's got you so grumpy today?
Better than over working isn't it? [teasing] Unless you want to help me try and figure out what Micheal wrote.
[Lead Role - Antag]
Deus should come off as a sophisticated ruler and father figure, he hides his true nature expertly and can flip from uninterested to caring in a heartbeat.
While there are other Angelic and Demonic beings in the realm, Deus is considered to be the leader of them all. This is due to him being the 'first'. Deus's personality is vile. He's a cold, cunning, ruthless, and well calculated manipulator. He forces others to play his game without them ever realizing they are in a game. Deus is always calm and collected in his endeavors...unless his plans fail and he's in a corner where manipulation can no longer suffice, he risks loosing his temper and can become.. tyrannical.
I can’t have someone corrupt my work can I? Another creature with powerful magik puts everything I’ve built at risk.
This is very well written, my child. You certainly have a knack for analyzing and architecture. I'm impressed.
It is a shame you have been corrupted by your own pride. You could have had so much potential.
Please provide the lines both as a young teen and a young adult, Lucifer will be younger in the first half of the season.
Comes off as aggressive and closed off but cares deeply for others, he has troubles connecting with the other angelus. Lothes Deus for the painful start he's been given and longs to be given attention from Satanas even if it isn't allowed by Deus. However he enjoys spending time with Micheal and working in the garden and helping in the library.
[shouting] He hasn't cared since day one! You're just too blind to see it like the rest of us!
You are a liar and a coward for stating so! You've been lying to us all haven't you?
Trust me Father. Things aren't as they seem. I suggest you see it for yourself.
[Deuteragonist & Satanas' love interest]
Beelzebub often comes of as harsh and closed off, he's not one for opening up to people. Despite that he's got a soft spot for those who do manage to get past his outer shell and protects those he cares for with dangerous precision. He has an affinity to cooking and music though prefers reading in the quiet libraries of the Delubrum, it isn't uncommon to hear the faint sound of a Ngoni playing in his room throughout the halls.
[restrained anger] It is my concern when you would put him in harm's way by your own hands.
[amused] Try not to over work yourself, I don't think Gabriel will appreciate you falling asleep at dinner again.
I don't get what the kid did. So he asked a question, big deal. Who even put him in charge of his lessons?
Calm and collected, soft to everyone but strict when he needs to be. Is seen as a father figure to all the Angelus. He is not afraid to stand up to Deus and controls the Purgatorium, as he is keeper of souls and knowledge. He takes his role seriously and often bickers with Deus in an attempt to speak for the rights of all beings with a soul.
You are smarter than you know Satanas, get to know them better and you will see.
[amused] You haven't seen the looks he gives you when you aren't looking.
Beelzebub is a strange one for sure, but give him time. He'll warm up to you soon enough.
One of the three angelic teachers, she is more graceful and compassionate compared to Nelchael, though not as lenient as Zadkiel is. She keeps to herself and her books and is quite happy to do so, though she has no students of her own she looks forward to the day when she is granted a ward to privately teach on her own. She's a little aloof at times, but always means well and is very motherly towards the Angelus under her ranking.
Deus has his ways of course, no need to question what's right or wrong. As long as Father says it's so it is so.
[lightly scolding] Really now Micheal! I would have thought Satanas had taught you a little more respect by now.
[patronizing] Oh hush now, there's no need to raise your voice at me.
Uriel is very soft spoken and nervous around any talk going against Deus' direct wishes, a very by the book angel. He often stays by Nelchael who everyone but himself, Deus, and Jophiel agree is not the best influence on him. He sometimes can be found helping Xaphan and Belphegor tinker with different inventions and trinkets, as he tries to gain any kind of knowledge he can get his hands on.
[unsure, nervous] I don't see how it's a bad thing, having more control means less mistakes, no?
You shouldn't let Father hear you talk like that, it'll only lead to trouble.
[intrigued] You've been writing all of this? Fascinating! [awkward] Oh- sorry, you probably want it back don't you?
Belphegor is a uptight but fun-loving angel, some would say he's stuck up though that could just be his charisma and charm. He's the life of the party and spends most of his time with Asmodeus or creating trinkets and tools. He's as wise as he is stubborn in his ways, brutal honesty is his default when his prideful nature is questioned.
[amused] Loosen up will you? You wont get anywhere hiding yourself like that.
Don't think I can't see through your harsh demeanor Beelzebub, I know what you're hiding.
[uninterested] That wont work and you know it. [sigh] Give it here I'll fix it, no need to thank me.
