Memento Mori
Project Overview
"I am still not sure exactly how it happened. How could I have made such a big mistake? They had given me an injector, but had not told me how much of my creation was in it. Had I held the trigger for too long? Was it really all my fault?" The autobiography of Dr. M. Cheshire, person behind The Eclipse Genocide, which caused his supposed immortality for 200 years.
I've been writing a to-be original novel for a while, and I was thinking that it might be interesting to turn it into an audiobook.
Note: These roles probably all would feature lots of screaming, crying, and cursing. Also, audition lines are more or less made up on the spot, and may not represent exactly what a character would ever canonically say.

Requirements:
- Good quality audio is preferred (however, if you don't have a good microphone, I'm sure I can work some editing magic somehow)
- Must be easy to contact if chosen for a role (preferably via e-mail, however Skype also accepted)

Dr. Cheshire is a strange man who never appears to age, who seems to have limited clairvoyant skills. Naturally rather introverted, but will open up if made to by his job or a tricky situation. He prefers to distance himself from sympathy and empathy, but it rarely works for long. Mostly everything he does is done for rational reasons and with good intentions.

(narrating/remembering) I am still not sure exactly how it happened. How could I have made such a big mistake? They had given me an injector, but had not told me how much of my creation was in it. Had I held the trigger for too long? Was it really all my fault?
(narrating/bitter) I tried to stop my father when he got the rope, but I was too young. Too weak. The bastard left me behind, having been overwhelmed by his emotions. I cannot understand why anything could ever be *that* devastating.
(insane/roaring) YOUR INSOLENCE WILL COST YOU YOUR LIFE!!

(dark/threatening/vaguely friendly) Bonne nuit, Dr. Cheshire. I'm sorry that we had to meet like this, but if you make a sound, I will blow your brains out, and I'm sure Mortensen will be very displeased with both of us if that happens.
(honest/somewhat warm) This song always reminds me of Elliot. For some reason, I keep listening to it before I decide to bother him.

Russell Southwell is a young wannabe cartoonist. Also an undercover "Agent" hired by the CIA. His greatest skill is his knowledge in computer coding, and by the age of 16, he'd already created the greatest AI ever made by one person alone. He's realistic, though not entirely pessimistic. To a certain extent, he's rather innocent.
Full profile: http://the-eclipse-saga.wikidot.com/russell-southwell
(somewhat afraid) You... You're the guy that... You were part of Autumnwolf, weren't you...?
(explaining) Now, Collin had a gun. Our best bet was that he'd snapped and killed them. However, I knew that wasn't true. Dr. Cheshire also proved that it wasn't. That leaves Apryl and Dr. Cheshire as the only possible culprits.
The mother of a suicidal boy who hires Dr. Cheshire and Detective Mortensen to help save her son.
(crying) I'm a failure of a mother...!
(begging/frantic) Please, save my son!
