Meet Max : The rich, snobby 16 year old from Britain. Always cocky and the loudest in every group. Underneath his ego, lie the insecurities of his father sending him away to the American Program simply because he couldn't stand Max anymore. According to Mister Max, money fixes all.
Inspirations : Draco Malfoy - HP, Veruca - WWCF

(Bossy, Witty) “Well, I’m Maximus Miracle, go by Max. If one person does fail to call me my preferred name, I'll have no trouble bringing my dear father into a courtroom.”
(Disgusted) "Have you forgotten that people like you stand 10 feet away from me! Why do I, Maximus Miracle, of all people have to associate with a beast like you?"
(Proud) “You see this? You know what this stands for? This is the symbol of my father; the man that saved the world, and I'm his son” (Deep in Thought, Emotional) ...and i'm his son.”
Meet Ben: Here lies the mind of a dazed 19 year old from Auvergne, France. In times like these, he can't help but have his head stuck in a book, and let the world pass him by. Ben lets out a breath of relief after going to the American Program. At least he won't have to wake up every morning to the sound of War.

(looks up from his book) “I'm Bennett.” (looks back down to his book)
(smiling, excited) “That’s what I said! You know back home I’d be…” (Deep in thought) “Sorry, I…” (Clears Throat)
(looking wistful) “You ever wanna just … (sighs) fade?...To forget everything and melt into oblivion?”
(Nervous laugh)
“I know I'm not making sense, but nothing does anymore. The world's upside down and we're known as nothing but...cliche survivors, now. The ones you’d read about in those old novels. The ones we used to call...fictional. ”
Meet Lilia: The secretive but sweet 20 year old from Pakistan. Always listening, but hardly speaking, she lives her life wondering what society would think of her every move. Not to mention the fear of coming out as a lesbian. As this American Program invites her into its arms, she thinks it'll be best to go to escape war, and the bitter loneliness at home.

(Starts to stand, shyly) “I’m...gonna go make sure she’s okay.”
“That’s fair, (looks down) “I wasn’t saying much back there, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t listening.” (Quiet, shy)
(Pats the other person on the back gently)
“I-I’ll stay with you. Everything will be alright.”
Meet Esmeralda : The fierce 18 year old from the Dominican Republic. Never afraid to speak her mind, she puts others in their place, makes them see eye to eye with her. Her stubborn personality stands out in the American Program where most are timid, or hesitant. Not Esmeralda. Never Esmeralda.
**ALL ACCENTS ARE OPTIONAL - TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SCHEDULE/AVAILABILITY - DROP YOUR DISCORD**
(Flashes a convincing fake smile while holding her hand out)
“Esmeralda. Pleased to meet you.”
(With disgust)
“What a surprise. The rich kid thinks being poor is a choice. Were you born this ignorant, or did they teach you that in your fancy boarding schools?”
(Huffs as emotion overwhelms her) “You don’t just say that and expect me to agree with you. If someone says they’re going to come back for you, you’d think they would. Why the hell am I the idiot for believing it?”
Meet Klaus : One of many bitter 24 year olds of Russia. After serving in the Russian Army, he travels far to the American Program, hoping to fight for another country. In all reality, he's turned down as a soldier and has no choice but to stay in the facility while learning how to communicate his true emotions.

(Stern, Cold) “Klaus. Nickolas Klaus.”
(Annoyed) “Well, while you were tucked away in your own little world, us real men were fighting at war. Don’t give me none of that mentally unstable bullshit.”
“You know what I miss the most? Swimming. There's uh...a lake in my hometown that thaws every summer, and I'd go there and pretend I'm a cosmonaut, training for when I'd go to the moon.” (Chuckles, and begins to drink a beer)
Meet Amelia: An impoverished, emotionally exhausted 17 year old from Louisiana. The trauma of her mothers death haunts the back of her mind, and is always starring in her nightmares. Her coldness towards others has protected her for long enough, maybe it's time to show others the side of her that disappeared as soon as her mother did.
**ALL ACCENTS ARE OPTIONAL - TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SCHEDULE/AVAILABILITY - DROP YOUR DISCORD**
(With the calmness of an arctic blizzard)
“Amelia Green. That's all you need to know about me.”
“The sugar scarlet. Small, deadly, and silent. Not a killer at first glance, but looks can be deceiving.”
“The first few weeks were the worst. No one knew what was going on. People dropped dead with no rhyme nor reason. It was like a goddamn disaster movie.”
“The worst part about the victims is how good they smelled. Not like a tasty smell, but a sweet one, like butterscotch pancakes with sugar-coated raspberries. I ... lost my sweet tooth after that.”
Meet Anastasia: A 21 year old Russian, now living amongst Italian Ruins. Under her gothic, angered exterior lies only a young woman, who's had to deal with mental illness since she could remember. The panic attacks she experienced as a child never seemed to leave, but everyone in her life did. Still, she'll never let anyone see that side of her. Or will she?
**ALL ACCENTS ARE OPTIONAL - TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SCHEDULE/AVAILABILITY - DROP YOUR DISCORD**
(Rolls her eyes at the other person's statement)
“Of course, Mr. Pain-in-the-Ass. My name is Anastasia. If that's too hard for you, Ana is fine.”
(Exasperated, with a tinge of something deeper)
“I don't need someone to look after me. I'm fine! Leave me alone.”
(Waits for a bit, looks back and notices the other person is still around.)
“Are you deaf?! I said I'm fine!”
(A hand starts to ball into a fist, but the other person by then has already left.)
(Her gaze remains on them until she’s finally alone.)
(Like a toy soldier unwound, she releases the breath she's unknowingly been holding in.)
“ ... Idiot.”
(Looks at the other person with a gaze that could melt lead)
“You and I, ruling the world. That'd be something. Not much would change really.”
(The other person raises an eye at the strange tangent, but she ignores them)
“No more spiders, obviously. No men in suits, or women. No suits at all. It's about time that style died.”
(Leans in closer to the other person, breath slow as she gently cupped their face.)
“ ... I don’t care how many days we have left here. Point is, I thought maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to spend them with you.”
Meet Kai: He's very aware that the world has shattered. Does he care? Nope. This Japanese 22 year old has let the apocalypse be an advantage to him. Now, he can venture off into the world, go wherever he desires. So, Kai chooses the American Program. Curiosity can lead people into dark corners.
**ALL ACCENTS ARE OPTIONAL - TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SCHEDULE/AVAILABILITY - DROP YOUR DISCORD**
(Upbeat, Outgoing) “Hey everyone, (Claps Hands) I’m Kai, of course and no, just because I’m Asian does not mean I’m smart. God no.”
(Quietly, Curious) “So what’s your thing around here, huh? Gonna talk yourself out of the apocalypse, or what? (Laughs) I admire that about you. You’re gonna have to tell me your secret one of these days, ya know.”
(Urgent, Pressing) “I'm serious about her. This isn't some "game" I'm playing. I love her, and I'm going to find her, even if I have to go through you to do so.”
Meet Robin: Our 22 year old Australian. Did I mention she's a pathological liar? Life to her is easy. You fake it till you make it. As she enters this American Program, her secrets are unexpectedly dug out. Others start to question her...almost as much as she already questions herself.

(Extends a hand for a handshake. When it's accepted, she makes sure her grip is firm.) “Robin Fisher. Businesswoman. Mean player of chess. I also make a great risotto.”
(Crosses her arms while leaning on the wall behind her)
“It's just a lie. A teensy, tiny, little lie. No one would even notice it.”
(Annoyed, but still calm)
“What is the truth, really? Facts? No, it's what people choose to believe in. Take a look around you.”
(Waves her hand at the room and everything in it)
“ The people that built this, they believed the words of someone who believed in someone else. On and on it goes, like a merry-go-round. Only sometimes this ride screws people over. People like me, people like you, and people like her.”
(Walks closer and closer until she's right up at the other person's face)
“So, let me give you some advice. I'm going to forget what you just said, and you're going to shut your mouth from now on about things you don't understand. Got it?”
Meet Adelaide: Our precious 21 year old from Cape Town, Africa. After refusing to live in fear she starts to hope for a better day. This Program is all she has...But no one knows how long she'll have this 'Safe Haven' for.
**ALL ACCENTS ARE OPTIONAL - TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SCHEDULE/AVAILABILITY - DROP YOUR DISCORD**
“I'm Adelaide. Adelaide Selani, like the penguins.”
(Someone interjects and corrects her, saying that's it's actually Adélie penguins, not Adelaide)
“Oh ... but they still live near Adelaide, don't they? I like penguins.”
Notices everyone being uneasy after the announcement)
“It’ll be fine everyone! ...I’ve been in things like these before. They won't hurt us, not if we cooperate with them.
(Spreads her arms in an attempt to look cheerful)
“This is gonna be like our ... new safe haven! Yeah, I mean, they wouldn't go out of their way to make all of these things if they just wanted to kill us.”
Gives a faint smile when the other person asks her why she's so optimistic)
“I guess, it really looks like that to other people, huh? I know they might see me as being a bit naive and clueless, but that's not the point. I'm actually scared too. So scared that I can't even sleep at night sometimes.
But-”
(Stretches her arms and sighs as she relaxes)
“ -I don't really want to live like that anymore. Despair and sadness with no end in sight. That's not me, and that's not the ending I have in mind for myself.”
(Glances at the other person, and laughs a delightful laugh)
“I must sound quite out of character to you right now. This will be our little secret, okay? We’ll always have tomorrow.” (Smiles softly)
Meet Government Officials: Our opposing combat. Posers, imposters, power seeking individuals. It was time to meet them. The ones trying to kill the children trying to survive. The apocalypse came. The next wave starts with them. Shall it end with them, as well?
This role is not specified to one person, many can be casted.

(Slams hands on desk)
“If you want to go down with the rest of the world, do so. Our way out is by using the sources around us. And if all we need are those damned genes I will get every last one of them.”
“Stop. Them.”
(Bitter, Forcing a Smile) “This will be your room. 10 to each. Pretty spacious, if you ask me. You kids have fun.”
