When a gullible and clumsy Halo gamer disrupts a match of Gladiator, he is easily persuaded into being targeted by the rest of the lobby. This short introduces the character Edwin, and the next one will introduce the character Cato in The Wise Guy. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/xsf65w0_FoU Auditions will remain open for current and future roles in the remaining three character shorts, as Origins will continue to be in the writing phase. Thanks for auditioning!

Prelude Series to ORIGINS
I'm creating a short, 4-part prelude series for this machinima, each focusing on one of the four main characters. All the character castings posted here are for one of the main 4 characters or minor characters in each machinima short. More characters will be added in the coming weeks, and main roles are subject to be re-casted if any actor isn't available after doing the shorts. The first part of the prelude series is called The Gentleman, a Halo: Reach machinima, coming soon to my channel at www.youtube.com/c/ZaheerVI I'm also extending the deadline all the time to account for each new short being worked on, until the production of ORIGINS.
Alright kid, I'm gonna tell it to ya bluntly, *nobody* wants you here. Better luck next time.
Fine, you wanna get nuts?1 Let's get nuts! (Imitating Michael Keaton from Batman)
Oooh she got my nuts. (comically; pretending to be in pain, in a video game)
This character is an extra, but their voice should sound like a young gamer.
I *am* hiding. The zombie won't find me over here, unless *you* give me away!
(Annoyed) You got me killed!
Player Joe is a gamer who's trying to play the game how it's supposed to be played until someone ruins the experience and fun for them.
This character is an extra, but their voice should sound like a young gamer.
(Offended then angry) Excuse me? *You're* the little boy trying to piss me off!
(Angry; raging like a gamer) What the hell?! He didn't kill her because she was a girl!
This character is an extra, but their voice should sound like a young gamer.
(Confused; slightly annoyed) Dude, what are you doing here?!
(Worried and annoyed; but trying to stay silent) By getting me killed?! We're the only ones left!
(Raging) God DAMMIT! That's it, I'm leaving too.
This character is an extra, but their voice should sound like a young gamer.
I'll promote you then you promote me back so we can finally start this game night.
(Annoyed) Dude! You were supposed to promote me back! It's *my* game night!
Count me out, I don't play well with others, especially with a bunch of try-hards. (Rejecting, disgusted at the idea of a team)
The name's Wraith, don't get comfortable with it, this is only temporary. (A little optimistic, but still guarded and closed off)
I was...abandoned. My friends left me to go join those ninja freaks...and the worst part is...I wanted to join them.
Mikka's voice is a little more higher pitched than most (NOT anime like), as she is only a teenager (aged 13-15) who is mostly energetic and lively, but childish, around others. Any accent but preferred British or North American. If there were a reference character I would maybe think of Tracer from Overwatch. (Mikka is pronounced Mica)
Hi everyone, I'm Mikka! Don't mind all the numbers next to my name, it's to prove that I can count to ten without using my fingers.
Did he seriously just call me a little boy?! (Surprised, jokingly)
Come on boys! It's time to rustle their jimmies!
Edwin's voice sounds like a young teenager (aged 14-16), the awkward guy in the room, stuttering as he talks sometimes. He is friendly and trustful to most but when he's in contact with women he can be shy, ridiculous, and even gullible.
Heeey everyone. My game name- gay- uh- gamertag, uh, I'm Edwin by the way. *chuckles nervously*
Hmm...I wonder if it was something I said.
OH MY GOD I'm so sorry. I- I didn't mean to. You jus- you just jumped down and I didn't see you.
Turn off that stupid music! (Very Annoyed)
Somebody kill this guy already! (Somewhat pissed, begging)
*laughs out loud* Get wrecked kid! (Poking at another player)
Hey Edwin, do you wanna team up together? (in a false seductive voice)
I only have these stupid weapons, you have that powerful sword you can use to protect me. (Purposely sounding like a damsel in distress needing her knight in shining armor)
Just do it already. ("Sassy")
