Requirements:
Notes:
This is the final time I'll be moving the audition deadline.
An 18 year old horror enthusiast juggling a stressful school life, and the loss of his best friend.
(Seeing as Sid's autistic, I'd really love for an autistic person to play this part, if you're autistic feel free to mention it in your audition)
Basic Info:
Age: 18 years old
Pronouns: He/him/his/himself, they/them/themselves
Gender: Nonbinary
DOB: August 28th
Residence: Born and lived in Cary, North Carolina
Ethnicity: Hispanic
Race: Black / Latino
Personality:
Obsidian is caring, compassionate, and will always be there if someone needs a shoulder to cry on. He tends to be gullible, either believing blatant lies or clinging to a hope that he can trust those around him. On the flipside, he is constantly second-guessing the intentions of others and his own actions. In certain situations, he can become agitated with himself and others. He's dubious, as well as impulsive, and is often underestimated by his peers. But despite this, they're very clever, and perfectly capable of outsmarting people when the time is right.
Voice Description:
(I tend to have trouble explaining things, so I apologize if this is confusing.)
His voice is middle ranged, on the higher side. His voice is mellow, and usually speaks as if he's unsure of what's coming out of his own mouth. His voice is a key reason people see him as weak at first glance. As an extra note, if you plan to audition, you should know that this role does require quite some range in terms of emotional acting, as he's somewhat unpredictable and undergoes extreme pressure throughout the series.
Extra facts:
-Sid is very invested in all things horror.
-Sid is autistic.
-Sid has a concerning interest in fire, he carries a lighter with him everywhere he goes.

Sid: How am I supposed to know?!
Sid: This can't be right. Maybe we're missing something.
Iwona: Did you even bother checking anywhere else?
Sid: Oh, I'm sorry, let me just walk back outside-
Sid: (louder; more desperate and agitated) Of course I did that! Weren't you paying attention?!
Iwona: Oops.
[Galo tries to get Sid to toughen up, but it doesn't go as planned. Their viewpoints differ greatly.]
Galo: Sid, what time is it?
Sid: Uh... 10:30?
Galo: That's right. Now, picture this: You're biking home, not a care in the world. Then boom, what's-his-face happens to cross paths with you and picks a fight. What do you do?
Sid: Keep biking...?
Galo: Wrong! You keep biking, he's gonna follow you, then he finds your house. What then?
Sid: He's not that bad, Galo. Seriously.
Galo: Not that bad? Not that bad? Are we talking about the same guy here?
[A high stake confrontation between Sid and Iwona. Iwona has a blade in hand, she's nearly killed Freya. Sid is unsure of what his next move is, and is convinced he'll die.]

The Recruiter: Good. Now then...
Multiple people will be casted for this role.
I'll be giving two different scenarios. Feel free to do as many as you'd like.
Please specify what type of roles you'd be okay with doing, as they vary greatly.
This role is specifically for characters who only appear in 1 episode and have very little screen time. There are quite a few of them, so I'll be casting multiple people. Feel free to submit your demo reel.
[A conversation about normal school rumors. Students are ages 17-19. Teacher can be any age from 20+ Feel free to voice any of the characters, voicing all of them is NOT required.]
Student 2; Psst, hey.

Student 2: You hear the news lately?
Student 1: The news? Like what? Channel 5?
Student 2: No, stupid. The rumors.
Student 2: (whispering loudly) Apparently, Dupree was set on fire yesterday.
Student 1: Shut up! You can't just make up stuff like that--
Teacher: Is there something you two would like to share with the class?
Student 2: No, ma'am. We're sorry.
Student 1: (whispering) You should be sorry for dragging me into this.
[The teacher glares at them before turning back to the board and continuing the lesson.]
[Both students lower their voices to a whisper.]
Student 2: But isn't it weird?
Student 1: What now?
Student 2: I mean, no one's heard from him since then. He's not picking up his phone, answering messages, nothing. Complete radio silence.
Student 1: He's probably resting.
Student 2: But think about it. He's the most popular guy at school, people are dying to know what's up. Why would he just leave them on the edge of their seats like that? Hell, how do they even know he's--
[Something drops from outside. The students get a quick glimpse of it as it falls to the ground. They gasp and begin to whisper amongst themselves, some crowding around the window.]
[A short video explanation of one of the many entrance exam challenges. This doesn't require much emotion. But it still needs effort!]
Video Instructor: Hello team two, welcome to your entrance exam. As you have noticed, a row of lasers stands between you and freedom. Behind it lies and elevator that will lead you to the first floor. You have five minutes before the lasers reach you. Participant Pyro, all players must survive in order for you to pass. If you succeed, your role with be validated, and you may enter the game. However, if you lose, your role will be denied and you will die. Now, with that out of the way, let the exam begin.
This job calls for anyone who can build concepts off of basic descriptions. Concept artists will be working with creating designs for characters, environments, and more.
