Meister High - November 2020

We're looking for actors to fill the following roles in our supporting cast:

---

Nigel
​

Age: 17
Gender: Male
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.

Nigel, a teenager with hyper-intelligence, is a brilliant strategist and inventor. Although his powers aren't as flashy as his classmates' abilities, he can construct equipment that defeats powerful enemies, and he can devise battle plans to win impossible fights. 
​

Lines:

1. (Neutral) In order to neutralise this weapon, we have to add a combination of chemicals to its toxic agent, which would cause a reaction that renders it harmless. I'll have this done in five minutes.
   
   
2. (Surprised) You're willing to charge into the fray without a battle plan? (Chuckles) You're insane, rookie. 
   
   
3. (Angry) Don't touch that! That button releases the neurotoxin, which - by the way - is BAD!


4. (Scared) I-I'm not sure. I can't believe I'm saying this...but I don't know how we're gonna get out of this mess.

Aida
​

Age: 16
Gender: Female
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.

Aida, who is skilled at Temporal Displacement, has the power to slow down any object she touches. Aida is often timid in battle, but her loyalty drives her to protect her classmates in the field. From slowing down a criminal's getaway car, to preventing debris from crushing civilians, she proves herself as a valuable ally.
​

Lines:
​

1. (Neutral) Nigel, you've been working on that invention for days. When was the last time you took it easy and - well - slowed down?
   
   
2. ​(Happy) (Laughs) Don't worry, I get that all the time. In simpler terms, Temporal Displacement allows me to decelerate any object I touch. Watch this.
   
   
3. (Determined/Strained) I-I can do this! I'll keep the building from crumbling. Just get the civilians to safety!
   ​
4. (Scared) Hold on. You're counting on me to protect you out there? You've got a serious death wish, buddy.

Virgil
​

Age: 28
Gender: Male
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.

Virgil, who has the ability to generate ice, is an Instructor who teaches his students to control the elements. Strict and sensible, Virgil's personality may seem as cold as his powers. However, he warms up to the Cadets who pay attention in his class. 
​

Lines: 
​

1. (Neutral) Look alive, Cadets. I've got one hour to explain the fundamentals of Molecular Chemistry, and barely enough patience for this job.
   
   
2. (Happy) (Chuckles) I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're not as incompetent as I thought you were. Keep up the good work.
   
   
3. (Annoyed) For the last time, mayonnaise is not an element. It's an emulsion, just like your brain.
   
   
4. (Shocked) Stop right there, Cadet! If you step into the danger zone, you'll be vaporised on the spot!

Lyra
​

Age: 28
Gender: Female
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.

Lyra, a necromancer, has the ability to raise the dead. Despite her dark powers, Lyra is a caring Guidance Counsellor to the students at Meister High, and spends her time pampering the zombified cat that she revived.
​

Lines:
​

1. (Neutral) Hello there! I'm Lyra, your Guidance Counsellor. (Chuckles) They said I was a dead ringer for the job. 
   
   
2. (Excited) This year's Homecoming dance is the best we've ever had! Come on, Cadet. Let's party like a mortician and grab a cold one!
   
   
3. (Happy) Isn't he adorable? Ever since I raised him from the pet cemetery across the street, we've been the best of friends.
   
   
4. (Embarrassed) Whoops. Sorry about that. If I knew I'd have company, I would've gotten rid of those corpses.
