The video game developers for the upcoming Gearbox Software "Borderlands 2" are holding an open casting call for an actress to portray the character of Lilith. The person chosen will appear in the game "Borderlands 2" as the live action version of the character and additionally may be invited to participate in promotional events and trade shows. The chosen candidate will be required to sign a standard likeness rights and work for hire contract and will be paid $1,000 per day of shooting.

Borderlands 2 is a science fiction–based first-person shooter with RPG (role-playing game) elements and the sequel to 2009's Borderlands. It is currently under development by Gearbox Software for the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. The game is expected to be released in the distributor's 2013 fiscal year, which begins in April 2012 and ends in March 2013.

Once a human, Lilith at one point was turned into a siren, so she is one of only six Sirens. they are a group of people with unbelievable powers, but no way to control them. She comes to Pandora in search of another Siren, in an effort to find out more about herself. Lilith's most iconic ability is called "Phase Walk", where she will teleport herself into another dimension where Lilith becomes invisible and can sneak around enemies with massively increased speed. Upon revealing herself, she detonates a shock-wave that can do area effect damage to all enemies.
