29 roles
(Supporting) - Luna’s “love interest” if you can even call him that. A tall and seemingly imposing dreamboat counteracted by his gentle and kind demeanor. Awkward and clumsy but you can’t help but love him. He hides his true and twisted intentions from everyone. The kind demeanor is simply a mask.
(Supporting) - A confident and captivating ditz. The type of girl to demand attention from a room and get it. Smarter than she gets credit for and has an innocent and pure heart of gold. Luna’s number one supporter and confidant. She funnily and cutesily makes her way through this story.
(Supporting) - Witty and Calculated. Intentional in her actions. She knows almost anything about everything and will let you know it. Especially the town lore. Has a million thoughts running through her head at all times. She’s a straight to the point, logical thinker. NOTES: Michael’s girlfriend; must be open to very light affection such as cuddling, hugging, etc.
(Supporting) - Empty-headed and entirely unserious. Sort of a slimeball that makes a joke out of every situation he is in. A goofy boyfriend for Mia. They don’t make sense together but they do. He loves to have a good time. Sometimes at others’ expense. NOTES: Mia’s boyfriend; must be open to very light affection such as cuddling, hugging, etc.
(Supporting) - The embodiment of evil. Despite the human stature nothing about it seems human. Entirely lifeless. An entity. Unbudging and mean-spirited. Tears people to shreds without a second thought. NOTES: 6’ or taller; athletic and physical; combat training preferred but not required; ability to do stunts.
