Character Descriptions
PASTOR DAD (Male, 30s - 50s)
Alex’s dad and pastor of the church. Constantly juggling to balance his time and attention between his family and his job. ALEX (Male, 14 - 17) Pastor’s kid and is generally seen as a “good kid.” He is very aware of other people, but sometimes struggles to figure out how to engage socially. He wants to be seen as understanding and kind —not the stuck-up, snobby PK, but then struggles to know how he should interact with his peers when they’re doing things he really thinks are wrong. JAXON (Male, 14 - 17) Jock. Was on a basketball team with the deceased, but didn’t know him super well. Jaxon wants to be cool and grown-up and wants to figure out the world for himself, but he sometimes does this through somewhat reckless behavior. SARAH (Female, 14 - 17) The popular girl. Sarah wants to be friends with everyone and everyone to be friends. She and the deceased are old family friends, but they hadn’t been particularly close in a long time. She knows that Natalie is his sister, but she isn’t really friends with her and doesn’t want to be the one to tell anyone. NATALIE (Female, 14 - 17) A mysterious figure who turns out to be the deceased’s sister. The others stumble across her hiding in the basement smoking “cigarettes.” Her brother was the “golden child” of the family, while she struggles to get along with her parents. She tends to try and cut herself off from people by putting on a tough/apathetic facade. |
