Age: early 20's and up

As a result they must be in skin to skin contact with each other to use their powers. He only has two lines this episode, but MUCH more in the coming ones.

Audition line 1: The woman is down. Open fire on the man.

Bio: scientists working for Fenris Corporation, all end up dying horribly at the hands of Omega Red. These are their only lines, I will use the best ones. Lines 1-3 are Man 1, line 4 is Man 2's only line except for the screaming.
Audition line 1: And is their fate any less horrible...that it was by their own choosing? Twenty men die...that one may find a a new purchase on life.
Audition line 2: All systems show nominal. Better than we'd hoped. In fact, his life functions are stable. The mutant "death factor" seems well within tolerable...
Audition line 3: Ready. Proceed.
Audition line 4 (Man 2): (terrified) Wait, is that... NO!
Audition line 5 (multiple men): (screams of pain and terror)
Name: OMEGA RED
Age: mid 30's up (kinda of odd age, like Wolverine)
Bio: During the Cold War, Arkady Rossovich was forced into Russia's version of Weapon X. The end result, was Omega Red.
Audition line 1: I... Live...? How? Who has brought me back from the dark domain of death? Who has summoned Omega Red?
Audition line 2: No, in this you were correct. Arkaday is dead. Now I am Omega Red. It is you who are dead.
Name: Shinobi Shaw
Age: late 20's and up
Bio: Son of Sebastian Shaw, joined the Upstarts after allegedly assassinating his father, later attempted to take control of the Hellfire Club. This is his only line, but he has more in the coming episodes.
Audition line 1: I have, my Russian friend. But, do not search your memory for any trace of my face. You do not know me, but I believe you know... this face...?
FEMALES:
Name: Andrea Von Strucker (FENRIS)
Age: early 20's and up
Bio: Andrea and her twin brother Andreas Strucker were bio-engineered by Hydra scientists in-utero to have superpowers. As a result they must have skin to skin contact with each other for their powers to work. This is her only line in this episode, but she has many more in the coming episodes
Audition line 1: Nothing less than immortality. Tell me, Herr Matsuo, is that not...
Name: Jubilation Lee (JUBILEE)
Age: 14-16
Bio: Jubilation Lee is a Chinese-American girl, and was born in Beverly Hills, California, where she lived with her wealthy immigrant parents. An immensely talented gymnast, she was believed to have the potential to participate in the Olympic Games. After her parents were killed Jubilee ran away to live at the closest thing that felt like home, the mall. While there she stole to survive and was a constant annoyance to the mall rent-a-cops. Jubilee's powers included the ability to generate explosive energy sparks. A teenaged "mall rat," she was the X-Men's youngest member in the early 1990s, often playing sidekick to Wolverine. She eventually joined the junior team Generation X.
Audition line 1: WHOA! Like--that was pretty fast for someone who agreed not to use her powers, Rogue!
Audition line 2: Which is our best reason for coming! But...Beast, you can't go into town looking... (beat) ...Like a big blue fuzzball?
Name: ROGUE re-cast
Age: early to mid 20's
Bio: where to begin, she has such a long and lush history. At this point, she still has the absorbed powers of Ms. Marvel (flight, strength, invulnerability) and her absorption powers. No touching of skin to skin is still her way of thinking. Her love for Gambit is still growing.
Audition line 1: All right! Enough! We agreed not t'use our mutant powers in this game, just like Jubilee said... But Gambit's powers include natural agility. How can we tell if he's usin' them or not?
Audition line 2: NO! Keep your slimy paws off'a me, Gambit! You know ah can't make flesh to flesh contact with you, without drainin' all your powers anyway!
MALE OR FEMALE:
Name: Taxi Driver
Age: any
Bio: Hispanic taxi driver
Audition line 1: Dios! Look at that mess! Maybe we should...
