Characters:



Taylon DuBose (male, 22) a recent college graduate who discovered his power
and wants the trappings, power and celebrity which come with financial
success. Charismatic and youthfully arrogant, underneath his slightly
narcissistic and player exterior is an unrealized warrior waiting for his
first test of solo combat. Physical Characteristics: African-American,
physically attractive, slim to normal physical build (athletic-slim okay,
but not bulky).



Karmen Kumara (female, 35-44) is a sophisticated machiavellian C-Suiter who
understands how to use her feminine charm and wiles to get what she wants
and to reach her final destination. For her the mission isn't power or
glitz, its the complete submission of all men. Take no prisoners. Physical
Characteristics: Height - above average-tall. Exotic/attractive facials



Teddy Carpenter (male, 65) a wise, OG, who understood the game back in the
day and played it skillfully, discretely and successfully. Mr. Carpenter
appreciates fine women, a good scotch and well-made clothes. He understands
his best days are behind him, understands power, but is uncompromising in
his commitment to the anchors of the community, church, family, good
neighbors and the underground economy of the Black community. Physical
Characteristics: African-American



Sam Suarez (male, 64), Teddy Carpenter's faithful sidekick, Sam has the
looks, but his humility and loyalty to Teddy masked him understanding his
innate charisma. A slim “teddy bear” and somewhat oblivious to the subtle
(and not so subtle) ways of women, he will pull a knife in a second and
slice a foe down to the bone. Physical Characteristics: Latino



Mercedes Puma (female, 20), Taylon's younger girl-next-door girlfriend, is
pragmatically faithful, accepting her past experience that men can't be
monogamous. Her commitment is to her church, her mom and siblings.She stays
with Taylon because he won't bring shit home and he sufficiently satisfies
her carnal, worldly needs, and if he doesn't she has other ways. Physical
Characteristics: African American/Latina:



Braylon "Jazz" Debose (male, 18-19), has it all-star all-around athlete,
smart, and humble. He hides a question that eats at him, constantly -- Is
he gay or bisexual? He's never had sex with another man, doesn't
necessarily find himself attracted to the same sex, but he's unsure,
because he does get nervous and awkward around the gay men. Physical
Characteristics: African American/Latino. Athletic Build (but not too bulky)

Roberto Gardener (male, 34), skilled handyman, is the goto guy for anything
to be fixed or that extra hand in the community. He's dedicated to working
in his adopted foster grandma's garden, which keeps him grounded and from
getting too involved in dumb shit. Gets along with everybody, except cops
(black or white), he thinks the only real justice is self-justice which
happens in the community by the community. Physical Characteristics:
African American/Latino



Alexa Anders (Female, 24) prides herself on her tight, physically fit body.
She doesn't drink or do drugs, but loves to dance. She knows she draws the
eyes of men and women, and loves to tease, but can provide knowledgeable
conversation about Japan and penguins. She loves West Indian food. Physical
Characteristics: Attractive, Athletic Body



Chanel Wills (female, 28) is a no-nonsense work hard (as a health
professional, nurse), play hard and will show what she's got.
Wealth-oriented, she's business savvy and men serve one purpose, sexual
fulfillment, though she does have a thing for much older men. Physical
Characteristics: Attractive, Curvy



Multiple Corporate Executive Roles: All execs are stereotypical, highly
intelligent, brutally competitive (whether in your face or more
passive/aggressive) corporate executives. They each bring their unique
style and appearance to the table. Physical Characteristics: White;
Southeast Asian; Latinx; African American



Johnny Ales (male, 30+) has been working the door of the Greens since 18.
Gets along with eveybody, has an easy laugh, quick offensive jokes, but can
take down a polar bear if he has to, which is rare. Taylon's dad gave him a
chance when he was young and looking for a job and has been  loyal to
Taylon's dad and the bar. Physical Characteristics: Funny, comedic



Nuclear (male/female, 27+) internationally-renowned disk jockey. An
introverted, fringe character. He/she is serious about his/her deejaying
and though introverted and reclusive, will stop at nothing to maintain
his/her position at the top of the DJ community. Physical Characteristics:
Fringe-look. Very basic DJaying skills.



Baron LeGrift (male/female, 22) is a computer genius and college best
friend of Taylon. Baron is a contractor to numerous government intelligence
and Fortune 500 industry clients. A total goofball and enjoying life to its
maximum degree, Baron is relentless in his quest to destroy evil.



The Assassin (male, 42) is a normal, even out-of-shape looking character,
which completely belies his proficiency in neutralizing "the package". He
hobbies in tropical/marine fishkeeping and banjo-playing. Physical
Characteristics: 5'10", average/inconspicuous look.
