Title: Dark Angel

Dark Angel is a sci-fi show set in Seattle in the year 2019 (at the start of the first season). However, this Seattle is far different from the Seattle we know now. Terrorists set off an Electromagnetic Pulse that shorted out every computer system in America. As a result the U.S. became a Third World country under a corrupt Martial Law. America was now a land where freedom was an illusion and safety had to be bought.

The main focus of the show centers on Max Guevara, a nineteen-year-old woman working as a bike messenger at a place called Jam Pony. Max lives a fairly ordinary life, working, and hanging out with friends. However, she harbors a deep secret. She was not born to normal parents, or had anything of a normal childhood. She was rather ‘made’ by Project Manticore- a classified government organization whose goal it was to create Super Soldiers. These soldiers were created in a lab and placed via invetro fertilization into surrogate mothers. The babies DNA was spliced with the DNA of over a dozen classes of animals (i.e. cat, shark) and this splicing gave these children super human abilities – the ability to see in the dark, possess inhuman strength, speed, stamina. Max was only one of a hundred soldiers at this Manticore base, trained to be an anonymous soldier, a weapon for the government. Manticore assigned its soldiers – who grew up on the base – to Units. The children in Max’s unit comprised 12 kids, both boys and girls, known as Class X5, one of the highest-ranking soldiers at Manticore. Despite Manticore’s attempt to keep their soldiers completely cold, basically unfeeling killing machines, Max’s group formed a tight bond, and became like brothers and sisters to each other. In 2009, when Max was nine years old, her unit broke out of the base. This escape was lead by the oldest boy, named Zack. (they gave each other names, at Manticore, soldiers were known only by numbers, this was known as their designation). During this process, soldiers under the command of Colonel Donald Lydecker, the Commanding Officer of Manticore, killed some of Max’s ‘siblings’ in the crossfire. However, most of the kids managed to escape the base, Max included.

As a super soldier Max was created to be incredibly intelligent and perceptive, but once out in the real world she new nothing of ordinary life outside, making friends, hitting puberty. Through the eleven years she lived away from Manticore she learned of the world the only way she could – first hand experience. But throughout her life, Manticore never stopped looking for her. She was a multimillion dollar secret ‘project’ that they weren’t about to let get away. As a result in Max becoming a tough, streetwise woman, constantly having to look over her shoulder. Because of America’s economic situation, money was scarce so Max used her natural talents to and became an off-the-clock cat burglar in order to make enough money to survive. On one of her thieving endeavors she broke into the high class Penthouse of a man named Logan Cale. Her expedition didn’t go unnoticed, but she escaped before this Mr. Cale could turn her into the authorities. Despite the fact she was trying to steal from him Logan tracked Max down the next day; she had peaked his interest with her ‘stunt’. Max later discovers that Logan Cale is an cyborjournalist who was secretly taking a stand against the corruption of the Post-Pulse America, running an underground organization called “Eyes Only” Because of his connections and intelligence Logan knows of Project Manticore and he winds up cutting a deal with Max, who wants him to help her find the other members of her unit whom she hasn’t seen since the escape. In return Logan asks Max to be his “leg girl”, to collect the data he needs and shake down the people that are corrupting the city.

During Max’s first job for Logan he is shot by a sniper and becomes paralyzed from the waist down, however he still works his deal with Max, dealing with the ramifications of being paraplegic throughout the show. Max and Logan soon form a friendship, which later escalates into an unspoken love affair. This relationship is very rocky because of who they are and what they do; and it is constantly being tested throughout the course of the show. Logan becomes deeply invested in all things Manticore because of Max and helps her and the other members of her ‘family’ with the problems that arise because Manticore wants it’s soldiers back, at all cost.

Here's my audition for Jondy.

Jondy pushed a few strands of her blonde hair behind her ears. It was one of her few nights off from the club, and she planned on not letting it go to waste. She lived for the night, part of that could be blamed on the 'shark' DNA. As Jondy walked into the club she planned on hanging around that night, she smiled to herself. The memories of Manticore slowly invading her mind. The late nights sitting up with Max and talking, waiting for the others to wake up again.

Maxie. Her best friend. Biting her lip, Jondy found herself wondering if Max was even still alive. The last time she had seen her was the night of the escape, when she had fallen through the ice. For the past ten years Jondy had found herself wondering if Max was ok, if Max was safe away from the hell hole they had called home for the first ten years of their lives.

Suddenly, Jondy didn't feel so much like wasting the night away having fun. She wanted to go back to her crappy apartment. Glancing around the club, Jondy sighed and pulled her coat tighter around herself. Making her way through the crowd, she left the club and headed towards her apartment. Maybe tonight she'd be able to get some sleep

Can I have Alec and Ben?

americangrl69 - March 4, 2006 10:33 PM (GMT)
Just need you to post samples for them. Thanks.

Kannuki - March 8, 2006 04:27 AM (GMT)
kk.I can do that.

Ben

"Come on Max! You're a fighter too." Ben argued with her, trying to undo the handcuffs that had him pretty much stuck on the floor.

"Not like you are though. I don't hunt people for sport." Max told him, almost snarling.

"Yeah right. You're just a wolf in sheep's clothing." Ben remarked, earning him a back hand from Max. He put his hand up to his mouth and wiped away some blood.

"See?" He said, holding his hand up for her to see. Max got up and paced in front of him.

"I'm not who I used to be Ben." Max told him quietly. Ben smirked at that.

"Is that what this place taught you?" Ben asked her.

"Maybe or maybe its something that I taught myself. Ben I just want to help you and keep you out of trouble. Is that too much to ask?" Max said, looking down at him.

"No I guess not." He said quietly, trying to undo the handcuffs.

"Ben why are you doing that? You know that I wouldn't hurt you, so quit trying to escape." Max told him, bending down over him and undid the handcuffs.

"Why did you do that Maxie?" He asked her, not quite sure what she was up to.

"So that we could talk like we normally did." Max told him.

"Right." Ben muttered.


Alec

"It's all about the easy money Max. Now if you'll exscuse me I need to go talk to a couple of potential partners, oh and will you deliver this for me?Thanks Max. I knew I could depend on you." Alec said without letting Max so no. Max just shook her head at him as he left.

Alec rode his bike over to Section 4, using his Jam Pony badge to get him through the check points. He found the seemingly abandoned warehouse where he was supposed to meet his new business partners. Instead, he found that he was looking at Ames White and the rest of the Familiars.

americangrl69 - March 10, 2006 10:42 PM (GMT)
Alec's your's. But I think the Ben sample could use some work.

Kannuki - March 20, 2006 07:53 PM (GMT)
Is that better or would you like me start over completely for ben's?

americangrl69 - April 5, 2006 08:38 PM (GMT)
You should redo it and Ben should be alone this time. Cause godmoding, which is what you did, isn't allowed on this board. And sorry for the long wait.

I would like to audtion for the role of Fixit

Fixit

It was a typical day for the red-headed X-6. She had gotten a job a garage working on fixing up cars, since she was good at that. She was up to her elbows in greese, when a loud cough, caused her to look up to see a man standing at the side of the car she was working on. "Can I help you with something or you just going to stare at me all day?" she asked, as she went back to work.

"Are you the litlte one who fixes stuff?" the man asked, as he looked at her from top to bottom, very slowly. Fixit didn't look up from what she was doing, but her X-6 sense knew what he was doing. "Cause if you are. I got me a problem."

"Like what?"

"My bike's broke."

"Sounds like a problem." Fixit stepped back from the car and wiped her hands on her pants. "Okay, show me your bike, cause I have a feeling your not going to leave me alone until you do."

"It's just a tiny problem. One I'm sure you'll be able to fix right away."

"Then, let's go." She followed him outside to where his bike was. "Okay, what's the problem."

"Nothing's wrong with the bike, darling. I just needed to get you outside." He then turned towards her with a gun. "Now come along nicely, and I won't hurt you."

"You think that's going to scare me." He nodded as he reached out to grab her arm, only to have Fixit blur and grab the gun from his hand. He gawked at her for a second before turning tail and running. "Coward. Now where is the challenge." She quickly ejected the mag from the gun and threw them both away. She let out a sigh, as she looked around. "Guess it's back to work for me." She then went back inside and went back to work.

americangrl69 - April 18, 2006 10:56 PM (GMT)
She's your's.

Jesse Shepherd - April 19, 2006 04:51 AM (GMT)
