An abbreviated script based on a sci-fi story I'm writing based around a few key characters, all starfighter pilots. I thought having the voices of actual people run through just part of the story would help me in getting to know the characters better and getting a feel for their personalities. Granted, I MADE their personalities, but I don't have much imagination as a writer. XP Sue me. I do plan on integrating SFX and such into this, so it will be a full production, just don't expect the full story here. Also, if you know or have any Web space where I might be able to host this for a bit, let me know.
EDIT: Thanks to everyone who sent in auditions--to the cast, your new due date for getting your lines to me is Feb. 17. Check your email box soon, and there should be a script from me in there. Good luck!

Character Roster:
Guys
Ari Sukiyota [ar’ • ee soo’ • kee • yo • tuh]
Race: Human
Age: 29
Career: A highly decorated and famous officer among AxiSec, Ari is perhaps one of the most successful commanders the Elite force has ever produced. He has flown a whopping eight hundred documented missions, more than any officer on Axis, and has commanded about three hundred more.
History: Ari was born in America to second-generation Japanese parents, and sent into Flight Academy to prove himself worthy of the family’s fortune. However, once Ari learned to hone his skills to their absolute best, he found life on Axis and in flight was too enjoyable for him to return home. His relationship with his family has suffered greatly because of his career, but unfortunately, repairing these relations has never been high on Ari’s priority list. The thing his name is most recognized for, unfortunately, is his association with a mission gone terribly wrong near the beginning of his commanding career. Not much is known about the run, other than the fact that none of Ari’s teammates made it back to base, and he never speaks of it.
Takara Zachstrom [ta’ • ka • ra zak’ • strum]
Race: Human
Age: 19
Career: Member of Axis Space Station Security, AxiSec for short. Has flown close to five hundred missions with the 53rd Starcutters, Axis’s #1-ranked fighter squadron.
History: Launched into space with his parents to live on Kauron III a few days after being born on Earth. Left home at age of 14 to pursue a career at Axis Flight School. Flew a mission to Kauron III against the Grexians, a wholly antagonist race of aliens who destroyed his home planet and his parents. A tremendous rage overtook him and he destroyed a good deal of the enemy fighters there. He is known throughout galactic pubs through word of mouth to be a sensational fighter, almost supernatural when he is enraged.
Personality: Known to be very friendly among his fellow pilots or anyone he meets. Playful in battle, dangerously violent when angered. Never known to curse or slander against anyone. He loves the popular holo-game Catch the Cup. Desperately in love with fellow flier Valki Quisstrom.
Grey Sirya [gray sur’ • yuh]
Race: Human
Age: 28
Career: Former commander of the 67th Dragonflies squadron at AxiSec, also commanded the 53rd for a brief period. His flight record includes nearly five hundred missions in addition to his many covert missions infiltrating enemy compounds. Noted as a master of voice imitation and accents, as well as a professional impersonation and disguise artist. Familiar with at least ten languages without a translator, fluent in seven of those ten.
History: Grey’s past is limited to what Axis knows about him in the Security force, mostly. For reasons unknown, he was shipped into AxiSec rather unwillingly about 9 years ago by his former employer: a top-secret American space intelligence agency. Entrusted with secrets and formulas he can never divulge to anyone, the U.S. was skittish about transferring him away from Axis.
Personality: Very observant and alert, even in typical conversation. Charming to talk to, easily sways many females. It nettles Grey that he will be serving under a commanding officer again, that he will no longer be the one in control, but he swallows his pride usually.
Wylie Kane [wy • lee’ kane]
Race: Human
Age: 17
Career: Wylie is a fresh recruit from Earth’s flight academies. His marks were steady all through school, and while his flying is astounding, he’s really more gifted in the creative department.
History: Wylie lived a fairly sheltered life with his family, so his street smarts are not exactly up to par. He writes music of nearly all kinds in his spare time to calm his nerves. He plays piano and guitar.
Personality: Can sometimes seem obsessive as far as neatness goes about his work, but very sloppy when it comes to his quarters and his appearance, Wylie is committed strongly to his nation, his planet, and the squadron. Gregarious and enjoyable in conversation, though often very naïve.
Epnal Ralos [ep • nahl’ ral • ose’]
Race: Chorzin
Age: 24
Career: A noted member of AxiSec. Has flown almost four hundred combined missions.
History: Born on Chorzin, raised on Earth. His parents were murdered one week after his 19th birthday. Terribly traumatized from this event, he went after the murderer and killed him himself. Sentenced to 20 years in prison, his release was negotiated by noted AxiSec
commander Grey Sirya. He was accepted into Flight School and then into the 53rd later on.
Personality: Tends to keep to himself unless ordered to do otherwise. Very loyal to whatever commander or captain he is under. Brash if insulted, angered to shaking fits if anything he does results in failure. Feuds with Takara Zachstrom constantly.
Azule Xithiounys [az • zhool’ zi • thee • ow • niss’]
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Age: 16
Career: Azule has flown an outstanding six hundred missions, about four hundred of those with the 53rd.
History: In all her sweet 16 years, Azule has had more flight experience than most AxiSec members had in their entire careers. Trained heavily by her father, Admiral Alazor Xithiounys, as well as her brother Ny. She is best known for her quick, calm thinking and aerobatics abilities. She was the innovator of many new AxiSec flight techniques, and through her father’s teachings, they were taught to a new batch of fighters--fighters that became the 53rd Starcutters. She is constantly doing rash things in battle that her other squadron members jokingly deem “insane.”
Personality: Playful and joking, very at home in battle. Like any 16-year-old, constantly looking to find her true love.
Shir Vuifex [sheer vwee’ • fecks]
Race: Human/Chorzin
Sex: Female
Age: 18
Career: A flyer with about a year and fifty missions under her belt, Shir is probably the squadron’s weakest flyer. Her few acting-command missions usually end in failure, but, oddly enough, she’s a good planner and has a quick mind for countermeasures. She also has an uncanny ability to guess whether someone is lying to her simply by looking them in the eyes, or either stare them down until they tell the truth.
History: Shir was born on Earth to a Chorzin mother and a human father. She showed good organizational skills early in her life, and her parents fell on tough financial times after Grexian forces destroyed their family business. She entered into the Axis Elite to earn money toward her parents’ livelihood.
Personality: Shir’s life, to herself, has always been a terrible argument between her races. She finds nothing precise about herself because she is, as she sees it, a “half-breed.” She does not have the Chorzin tentacles or the bony growths that protect them on her shoulders; her physique is that of an athletic human’s. She wears black a lot and is almost never cheerful. Her outlook on life and self-hatred is always thought of by her team as very sad, considering she is gifted with striking natural beauty.
