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.

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.
