I'm gonna audition for Richard Alpert (probably the oldest, good looking man EVER!) If I get the part, this is also going to serve as a sort of prelude to the way I'll depict him.
It was dark in the jungle, pitch black with only the faintest flicker of torchlight to throw back the shadows. Richard stumbled over a small log but expert training helped him break a potentially loud, revealing fall. He removed a machete from his belt, watched it reflect the dancing flames before swinging it down hard at the brushes around him. He had been away from the Barracks for six days, defied Ben's orders and kept his walkie switched off... but none of that mattered. All that mattered was his objective.
After almost fifty years of searching he had yet to sight that which gave Ben Linus, an outsider, command of his people. This was their home, their Island and Ben had turned up and taken control like that. But His orders couldn't be disobeyed, and that is why Richard trekked through the jungle, dared the wrath of the Protector and ignored his orders...
Richard had to find Jacob.

As a straight, manly kinda guy even I'd have to say yes. He's looking good for.... however old he is!
I was wondering if we are allowed two characters (I wanna pick up Karl as well!). I didn't see anything about it in the rules, but I noticed some people are playing as two...

In the past, we did have someone playing as both Walt and Sayid, but recently I've only seen one canon and one made up character played, although I might be missing something. \=
I'll talk to Jack about it when he comes back at the end of the week. I don't see a problem with it but I want to be sure the admin is still permitting it. If you want to go ahead and write up the audition, when Jack comes back the process could move rather quickly.

In that case here it is...
Karl lay flat on the ground, the grass under his back was slightly damp and chilling him, but he didn't care. His left hand was under his head, and his right was enclosed around Alex's. They stared upwards into the velvet sky, unmarred by the bright lights of cities they had never seen, and pollution they had never smelt. Just the sky, the moon, the stars, and the girl he loved.
He turned to the side and looked at her as she stared upwards. He traced her outline in the dark, her nose, her cheeks, her eyes... she was beautiful. Anything he could ever want could be found somewhere in her. She suddenly pointed upwards and said, "A shark!" Then turned to Karl. He followed her finger upwards and together they traced the shark's outlines amongst the billions of stars above them.
They lay out there for hours on end each night. After the rest had gone to bed they would sneak out and meet at this spot, near to the northern perimeter fence. Karl looked into her eyes once more and said matter-of-factly "I love you." She reached up and pulled him down to kiss him and he melted at her touch.
The moment was broken by rough hands grabbing his shirt and dragging him upwards. A fist landed in his stomach and a leg dropped him to the ground. He looked up into Tom's eyes, his fake beard still on his face. Behind him came a short man with piercing blue eyes lit up by the torch he carried, his glasses glinting in the light. He wore a blue and white striped shirt, and dull green trousers. His face was completely blank, which usually meant he was angry about something. With a look from Alex to Karl and to Alex again he said quietly, "Put him in the birdcage Tom." Karl tried to fight, tried to resist but Tom was too strong for him. He reached out a hand to Alex as he was pulled from her and she ran up to grab it, crying loudly. The man with blue eyes gently took her into his arms and pulled her to his chest while she wailed and beat at him to let her go. Karl let himself go limp as he was dragged away from her for what could be forever.

I'm back!!!!! Normally, like Jane said, I don't allow people to have two character from the show ... but seeing that audition has changed my mind!!! It was awesome, you got Karl! As he is only a minor role, not appearing in many episodes, so it doesn't matter that much. Have fun!

Thanks!
I thought as he was a minor character it'd be cool to just have him. He may be minor but he has done some pretty big things.

Yeah yeah ... i didn't mean minor in a bad way. But I normally don't allow two people to have to major characters as it is unfair to eveyone else. Anyway, happy role playing!

Hi desmond4815, We'd love to consider you for John Locke as we desperately need a player for him! However, I need for you to write an audition showing how you'll play him and that you can write well enough to understand your posts. Look at some of the previous auditions and get an idea of what we're looking for, then write up your audition. One of us will look at it and let ya know if you got the part, usually within a day!

Ok heres my audition : John was walking with the others to the "old place", he had just said good by to Kate and was feeling a little guilty. They were at the sonic barrier, Ben shouted to richard who had an accses code, there was a low buzzing sound and they started to walk through, Locke realised that they hadent turned it back on, "arnt you gonna turn it back on?" he asked ben, "no John, ill explain later". They were treking through the jungle and came to a river, they had a stop to refill there various canteens and bottles. They came to a grassy valley and ben said"we can stop here for a couple of days" everyone took of their packs and started to erect tents and sitting down. Locke helped a girl called Cindy, she told him that everyont is exited that he is here. Locke fell asleep faster that normal. The next day Locke was talking with ben who tels him that he can only be told about the islands secrets when he kills his father. That night Ben told Locke to come with him , his father, Anthony Cooper was tied to a kind of totem pole," John, kill him, he had ruined you life, you can only be free when he is dead" " he can never kill me, he's pathetic" "SHUT UP" Locke yelled. He couldnt do it, he coldnt kill his father, "ill be here all week John, is you change your mind" Ben knocked him out with his cane "Im sorry, he's not the man we thought he was" said Ben The next day Locke was sitting on a hill overlooking the camp site, feeling down, he had to find out these secrets! Hope you like it

Thanks Richard Desmond815: Good audition. You have the part of John Locke, but [and without sounding too picky] could you please try and make sure you take more care with grammar and spelling. There is a spell check on this site, so that shouldn't be too much off an issue. I use it all that time, it's great just to check over as sometimes I make silly mistakes and don't notice But you have the part Congrats!

Boone was absolutely restless.
It was late. He didn't know how late exactly. It was weird not ever knowing what the exact hour was, ever. He rolled over on his side. Shannon was sleeping nearby; he could hear her steady breathing. She looked peaceful. She was an angel when she wasn't running her mouth, he thought to himself.
His neck felt stiff. He closed his eyes and imagined he was on a bed. A bed with a nice, firm mattress. Every night, he kept replaying pre-crash scenarios in his mind. What if he hadn't flown to Sydney to rescue Shannon, as he always did? He'd be in Malibu right now, going about his life as usual.
And where would Shannon be? He glanced over at her again. She'd be somewhere, causing some kind of trouble. But it gave him a sense of reassurance knowing that she relied on him almost fully now. It gave him a sick sense of satisfaction. And he almost hated himself for it.

Can I try for Eko? He's the best character.
Here's my audition.
Eko was sitting on the plane. He watches as the rest of the passengers get on board. His hand was shaking. After a while he opens his hand to reveal his cross. A man sits next to him.
"Hey" says the man in a German accent.
Eko ignores him and closes his eyes and mutters under his breath.
"The Lord is my shepherd".
"Weird" replied the german man. He starts talking in German.
The plane takes off.

You may have Eko. Most people are out for the summer but in the fall we will get started up again. I'll mark him off for you and if you'd like you can join a thread in progress or begin a new one and those active members right now can play with you and get this place warmed up!

Hi, just wanted to ask a question. Are we picking new characters since we are having a fall kick off? Or are we allowed to? I might want to audition for another, but if we aren't allowed to have more than one character or change a character, that's fine! Thanks! ;D

Post by Jane on Aug 10, 2007 21:36:30 GMT
If you want to switch to an available character that's fine, but let's not have more than one yet. I'd like to wait and see if more people sign up for characters. If, when we kick off in September, we don't have all of the roles filled, then we will consider opening it up to have more than one canon character per member.
