—Just a few small things—

-Want to get this out of the way, but the standard rules apply. I guess... o_o
-Please only post content relating to your character, so as not to clutter up this thread and make it lose its convenience. :(
-One post per character! You can double post, or triple post, depending on how many characters you have.
-If you make any significant changes, say so in the OOC, especially if it's something we need to know.

-If it's anything small, it's your call whether you wanna notify us or not

-There are no guidelines on how you fix up and tidy up your CS, but the prettier the better! :D Only because I'm biased and really like to make mine nice to look at.
-Unless you want to, hiders are not required.
-You CAN leave your character in the actual thread, as it's not necessary to completely erase those, but it is necessary to copy and pasta it over to here. It's always good to have more than one copy, just in case something happens.
-That's it. I just wanted to get a few things out of the way. :) Any questions or concerns, just ask away! :D

“No. The blues are because you’re getting fat and maybe it’s been raining too long; you’re just sad, that’s all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid and you don’t know what you’re afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling? …Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany’s. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it. Nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that’d make me feel like Tiffany’s, then — then I’d buy some furniture and give the cat a name!”

Leila Fox

Name
Leila Anne Fox

Gender
Female

Age
21

Position
Actress

Appearance
Leila looks like someone straight out of a fairy tale. Her bright red hair contrasts with her pale skin, and despite the grooming she does, it always seems like there's a wild tendency in her hair, as if there's an eternal breeze whipping it around. Her bright green, almond shaped eyes seem like they're piercing into your soul when she makes eye contact with you. Her ivory skin is speckled by freckles dotted across her face--a trait common within redheads. Standing at 5'9", Leila can tower over people, especially when she's in heels. She has a habit of fiddling her fingers in her hair, usually twisting a strand around her finger when she's nervous. Other times she can be found pushing her hair out of her face.

---

---

Personality
If Leila is going to compare herself to anything, it would be to a willow tree.

There's just something soothing about the long branches swaying in the wind, quietly adding beauty to the landscape. In a way, Leila is the exact same way. She always has a soft smile residing on her lips, as she quietly stands off towards the side. There's a quiet demeanor to this young lady, and she avoids being in the center of everything, preferring to observe life whirling around her. It almost seems as if she runs on a different flow of time from everyone else, there's a noticeable lack of hurry and urgency in the way she moves. She appears as if she's wading through water, with the graceful, flowing movements. There's just something soothing about her, and she's the best person to calm a situation down.

Leila is a quiet girl, introverted and more of an observer. She's rather shy when it comes to social interaction, and has a hard time approaching people. Almost all of her conversations are sparked by someone else--which is perfectly fine, it's what she wants. Once she gets into a comfortable conversation with anyone, she opens up and shows more of an energetic, outgoing side. It's just the approach that she's too shy to do. Until she gets to really know someone, Leila would rather sit by herself and be alone, not wanting to seem clingy in any way. When people don't strike up a conversation with her, she's usually found alone, wishing that someone would.

There's just something different about Leila. Perhaps it's the way she talks. She's been known to come up with strange, elaborate metaphors to express her thoughts. It's one of the reasons why the interviewers love her, she comes up with strange, interesting responses on occasion. The way she thinks is a little off and out there. Leila also is rather morbid, and has a fascination with darker, creepy things. She doesn't express this as much as she could though, instead toning it down and keeps it inside herself.

When people say redheads are fiery, passionate, and wild, Leila doesn't seem to have any of those traits at first glance. But she has that fire in her, it's just burning quietly, as opposed to the roaring flames that the other redheads may have. She gets underestimated a lot, and what people fail to see in her is that fire flickering within. Her willpower and passion seem nonexistent under that quiet exterior, but it's there. It may be even more powerful than some people. She gets that wonderful shine in her eyes when she's passionate about something.

Her introverted and reserved nature doesn't seem to fit one of a person who's constantly exposed to the spotlight, but there's nowhere else than she would rather be. There's nothing that Leila loves more than performing, and she becomes a different person in front of the camera. She's a chameleon, able to embody different emotions and looks, proving herself very versatile in her career. Her creative, artistic side really shines through, and so does her passion. Give her something to act out, to sell, to embody, and BAM, you've got exactly what you wanted--you just didn't know it when you asked.

Leila is definitely talented, but there's something holding her back. She has trouble truly letting go and being in the moment for what it is. One of the biggest things that trip her up is her intelligence and analytical skills. Those are wonderful skills to have, she truly is smart, and she loves analyzing a problem, people, situation, or whatever it is. But she gets too caught up in her head that she never really truly feels the moment. Over analysis is one of her biggest downfalls, and she's been struggling with that lately.

Biography
When you're as shy and quiet as Leila, it's pretty likely that you become the victim of bullying. She was no exception to this generalization. Leila was bullied, taken advantage of, and all of that good stuff when she was younger. It really took a toll on her self confidence, and at the time, she walked with her shoulders bent forward, with her face hidden behind her hair. Her green eyes would often be filled with tears, and every night, she would cry in her mother's arms. Of course, this would worry any good parent, and the concern was growing on a daily basis for Mr. and Mrs. Fox. It worried them, especially when they realized they couldn't remember the last time they saw joy in her eyes. This continued well into high school, and while Leila suffered everyday, she endured going to school day after day because she loved learning.

Then, something amazing happened. She was walking home from school and she was approached by someone, and uttered the words that would change her life.

"Have you ever considered modeling?"

Mind you, it wasn't one of those creepy perverts who pretended to be someone legit, it was the real deal. After some careful consideration, Leila decided to try her hand at it. It was magical. Leila discovered that she could come alive in front of the camera, and the camera loved her. She received raving reviews from the photographer and the creative consultant. From that first photo shoot, Leila knew what she wanted to do. From then on, she went to agencies, hoping to get signed. This wasn't exactly a smooth ride, she was rejected by many due to her quiet demeanor. She was signed by a small local agency, but that didn't matter to her. Modeling was what brought Leila out of her shell, after years of bullying. Now a junior in high school, everyone noticed that the way she carried herself was different, more confident. She still wasn't the most popular person, and there were still some bullying incidents, but to Leila, the whole word looked different.

After some local commercials and ads, Leila was discovered by a famous photographer, who wanted to feature her in his portfolio. This was another great moment in her life. Because of the influence the photographer had, Leila skyrocketed to fame. She booked many jobs, became the spokesperson for famous brands, walked in fashion shows, and appeared on many magazines.

Leila decided to trickle into acting, receiving small roles in some TV shows, starring as a guest in some as well. She's been an extra for a really popular movie, but this is her first role that's actually not too small.

Luke Clemens
"When I was younger, I didn't really watch pay attention to him because I didn't have to. All the girls in my school freaked out about him all the time. It was like one of those times, when something is so mainstream and popular that you can't stand it a moment longer, so you don't have anything to do with it. But you know what? This was the one time that I should've listened to the melting ice jackanapes. I finally sat down and watched one of his movies, and it was like I was seeing the light after being locked in a parallel world full of death and suffering--oh, I'm sorry. I suppose it's not much of a parallel world. Anyways, it was absolutely amazing, his skill as an actor is wonderful.

What? I mean, yeah, he's really attractive, but I'm not one of those girls with the fake boobs that only know how to judge someone by their sex appeal. Stop, don't look at me like that! Any interest I have in him is strictly professional, and despite his age and inexperience, I think that he'll do a great job. End of story."

Maximillian Harrison
"There's a bright aura surrounding him. I feel like I need sunglasses to look at him, I really do. He's blinded himself by his own bright shine, dimming any undesirable qualities that he doesn't want to see. I have a feeling, that if I were to sneak into his house and slash up his bed, smash all of his windows, and write threats with blood on the walls, he wouldn't notice... Too far? I'm sure he'd notice by then. Or at least, I hope that he would. I kind of admire his naivete, but it's concerning that someone older than me lacks the caution and maturity that I seem to observe in the most successful stuntmen in the world.

As a stuntman, he's talented, but he's too eager to dive into things without a care in the world. When he jumps off the diving board, I wonder if he would ever look down before he goes, to make sure that there's water down there?"

Harris Klein
"If Harris was a berry, the skin would be stained a dull burgundy, and it would have a very rough texture. But on the inside, it would be a plethora of vibrant colors, and i think that the taste would be very heart wrenching. Whether that tastes good or bad, is up to you. But I think, the Kleinberry is overripe at this point, and it's beginning to rot. The berry bush itself isn't growing anymore, but it's still somehow thriving for life.

He's an admirable actor, and he's a lot more real than the fake people I had to deal with as a model. He's genuine, but I feel that he sees the world through a veil of eternal shades of gray, like a black and white movie. He can see all the shades, but none of the colors are apparent, because his inner berry is all rotten inside."

Jake Wilson
"I think he's more forceful then he lets on, and a bit of a control freak. Jake seems to be very agreeable, but there's something that will boil over inside him when he doesn't get his way... Whatever it is, I hope it isn't vomit.

Jake is very efficient, and his knowledge of the world really allows him to find the best possible location for everything. It's admirable, and I see why he's so sought after in the industry. He actually found the scenery for one of my photo shoots once. It got cancelled, unfortunately when a hurricane ripped through the area prior to the shoot. It was rather disappointing, it was a beautiful place."

Phoebe J. Collins
"I think that cotton candy and lollipops would suit her very well. And balloons... I think she would be right at place in a carnival, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Not in like the 'she's an immature child who would gladly be fooled by the so-called fun houses', or 'she belongs in the circus with the psychotic clowns.' Phoebe's energy just seems like a carnival. Fun, upbeat, a place where dreams come true.

There's nothing sour about her, and while she may seem overly sweet to some people, I think it's refreshing that there are people like her in this industry, because most people around here are sour, rotten gummy worms to the core."

Leo TNB Xavier
"Something about him just says POW POW POW! He has a superior understanding of fashion, and all aspects of clothing which is really impressive. He would make an impressive stylist for a model, but you know, I think being a costume designer for a movie is where his forte is. I think it's something about finding that perfect look for a certain character that really makes him love that job. It's not the same as being a stylist for a model, because as a model, you have to look good in everything, and sell it. The stylist is just someone who makes sure that the combination looks good.

He seems professional on the set, but I ran into him outside of work, and he was very much like a dynamite. Boom!"

Amy Ho
"I think a pencil skirt is the type of clothing that would describe her best. Don't ask me, I don't know why. She's just a pencil skirt. Ummm, I think it's because it's very... Professional, strict, but still can be casual, depending on on it's worn. I really like pencil skirts. Yes, that's a weird way of saying I like Amy. I think, if she relaxed a little, we could be friends.

I think the majority of our coffee supply is consumed by her. I don't really understand it, I don't like the taste of coffee... I've seen her calm down once she's gulped some of the beverage down, so I think that it kind of is her own personal adderall. You know, it makes normal people hyper, but for people with ADHD, it calms them down."

Peter Zolner
"The chance to meet him just filled my heart with joy. He's one of the reasons that I actually began to act, I admire him so much. The way he slips into character is simply amazing, and I'm absolutely gobsmacked that I get the chance to work with him.

I have to admit, meeting him was a bit of a disappointment though. It looks like there's a perpetual rain cloud floating over his head. He's a shell of what he could be. The way he holds himself... It seems like he's expecting someone to hit him with a crowbar. That makes him all the more intriguing though, the air of mystery surrounding him is fascinating. I wonder what his inner demons are..."

Max Goldstein
"He's a walking contradiction. Bossy but not, commanding but not, friendly but not. I don't know what to think about him. i feel that he genuinely wants to be friends with everyone, but I also feel that friendships aren't necessarily a priority for him when he's working. I have no idea if that's good or not. It's not good for someone of his profession to be gentle, but he's making it work, I suppose.

I don't know, I've never really worked with him before."

Addison Matthews
"She's very enthusiastic, like a bouncy ball. I saw her eyes light up when I walked into my audition, so I guess she's a fan of mine or something...?

No, no. Wait. I remember her! She was working with me on a photo shoot when I was just starting out! Oh, hey! I remember now. Ahhh, such memories. We were both so young back then. She was brushing her hair all the time, it was like swoosh! No offense Addison, you're a great girl and everything, but the job of a production assistant serves you a lot better than a model. As a model, you had potential, but you're more for commercials, rather than photo shoots.

I never really got to know her that well though, we were both pretty busy back then, despite the small scale of the project. Maybe I'll get to know her better this time around."

Ella Lindgren
"I remember one time, when someone important--I don't remember who--was ranting and raging about her because she just stood up and left because she was kept waiting for far too long. It was kind of hypocritical actually, since that person was always going on about how 'time is money!!!' And then that person confronted Ella, and they got into a nasty spat. I like her, she gave that person what they deserved.

I feel that there's a story that she's not telling though, maybe if I get friendly with her, she'll tell me what her story is."

Luke Clemens

Name
Luke Clemens

Gender
Male

Age
24

Position
Director

Appearance
Standing at 5'10", Luke isn't necessarily the tallest person in the room, but he definitely has a very large presence. His sweeping blonde hair and his striking blue eyes has brought him popularity throughout his life and career. Every physical feature of his looks like it could be use in a commercial--and a lot of them have been. His pale hair has been featured in men's shampoo ads, and his clean-shaved face has been used in razor advertisements. Now his eyes, they weren't in any commercials, but they have a constant mischievous sparkle that drew in hundreds of fans.

---

---

Personality
Can you say a typical all-American guy?

Charming, athletic, smart, kind. When you paint a picture of the dream American household, Luke will definitely be portrayed as the perfect son. He has the dashing good looks with his blonde hair and blue eyes, commanding attention simply for how attractive he is. Girls whispered about him in high school, he was at the top of the social ladder, and it was very easy to see why. He treated everyone kindly, but he had that little bit of a devilish charm. He was the captain of the football team, and that's an instant in-crowd thing. And did I mention that he's hot?

Very laid-back and chill, Luke can seem like he's willing to go with the flow,, to be washed away in the hectic current of life. However, Luke is very capable of reaching out, and grasping the controls of his destiny. Despite his easy-going nature, Luke is stubborn to the core, never budging from what he thinks is right. Many people overlook how pigheaded he is, due to how easily he compromises and bends to someone else's terms. Everything he allows is superficial, unimportant to the foundation of his goals and ambitions. Even if at first glance Luke appears to submit easily, he is very much in control. There's a fire burning within him, propelling him forward through life. Ambitious in both a good and bad way, Luke is willing to push himself and others much too far to reach these goals. He can and will go that extra length to make his dreams come true. This side of him is apparent a lot, evidenced by his passionate nature when he's striving for accomplishment, but it is rarely seen in the extreme forms that it can come in.

Luke is a ray of sunshine, with his bright demeanor and his blinding smile. Enthusiasm is apparent in everything that he does, and nothing receives less than 120%. His signature crooked grin is warm and inviting, allowing anyone to feel at ease--even if they're a little starstruck! Down-to-earth and humorous, Luke knows the best way to break the ice in any situation, making him an easy person to talk to. However, lately Luke has become a little bit more distant than he used to be. He's slightly more withdrawn, and doesn't offer as much personal information about himself as before. It's subtle, and nearly unnoticeable to everyone but the people truly close to him, but it's there nonetheless.

Biography
Born into the upper middle class, Luke grew up with a fairly standard childhood. Luke is the middle child of Jeremy and Kelsey Clemens. He got along well with his older brother, Daniel and his younger sister Lexie for the most part. Of course they had their fair share of arguments and fights, but the Clemens family are a very close family. Mr. and Mrs. Clemens always made sure that their children had the maximum number of opportunities possible, and the best education. The Clemens family lived in the suburbs of Los Angeles, being active members of the community. Luke excelled in school and athletics, and everyone thought that he would perhaps go to an Ivy League college with his stellar grades and athletic ability, but that wasn't the case.

At the age of 13, Luke found an ad asking for people to be extras in a movie, and wanting some extra cash, he participated. That's when he was first exposed to the industry, and he was in awe of the process. Like any other child, Luke dreamed of being on the big screen, but this was the first time he truly wanted to become an actor. From this moment on, Luke threw himself into various auditions. It was a rocky start, after all, he was one of the many people who just wanted to be a movie star with no actual skill. Being a hard worker, he knew that he could outshine everyone if he put in enough effort. He took many acting classes, and appeared in many local plays, slowly building up his skill, until one day, he got his chance.

When he was 17 years old, Luke was cast as the younger brother of the female lead--and while the part was small and unimportant to the overall plot, there was an emotional scene between him and the female lead. It wasn't exactly the most successful movie ever, but it did catch the eye of a well-known director, who promptly offered Luke a larger role in his new movie. Of course, Luke snapped this opportunity up, and this was how he became famous. This movie was a hit, and was praised by critics everywhere. His superb acting and his good looks quickly thrust the teenager into the spotlight, where he gained many fans. Since then, he's been featured in movies, TV shows, commercials, magazines... It could seem that he could do no wrong as an actor.

Then, he just disappeared. It's not like he was kidnapped or anything, one day, at the age of 22 he just vanished from the spotlight. Suddenly, Luke started refusing interviews, turned down all of the roles he's been offered, turned away from the public eye. Of course, for a famous actor, this is very difficult to do, so there were sightings and rumors flying around everywhere. He was still swarmed by fans, there were people begging for him to come back. In fact, his fame grew even more, people questioning his sudden disappearance that occurred without explanation. But eventually, the trend died out.

It seemed that people never forgot though, because now, two years later, Luke Clemens is making his return to Hollywood. It was a rumor that was somehow started, that Luke would be returning not as an actor, but a director. Over social media, the rumor spread like wildfire, until Luke confirmed it through his twitter account--the first tweet in two years. This news was plastered over many magazines, websites... Everything.

Luke Aiden Clemens is returning to Hollywood.

Alias:
Peter Zolner, Chevy, Pete
Gender:
Male
Age:
41
Position:
Producer - Money isn't an issue and, as an amicable person, he's not one to step on any toes during, before, and after production. His job is to be involved and fueling the production with ideas, money, and to push it in a good, solid direction, no problems, no issues, no complaints. Right? Right...?

---

Appearance:
A timid, lean individual (5'6";168 lbs) with a surprising musculature for a man of his size and personality, of which is usually hidden. Many people mistake him for someone who's a tad on the pudgy side, though that's far from the case—he's somehow avoided any scenes that would require him to strip down from his obtrusive amount of clothing. He's not a top athlete by any means, but he does his best to stay healthy and fit, and is often driven to do so out of stress—he gets stressed a lot. Often in appropriately layered garments, in respect to the climate, Peter isn't a confident looking individual and it shows in the way he carries and dresses himself. Everything's in layers and hardly any of himself shows minus the appropriate hands and head. And, despite his age, has a full head of completely grey hair that he simply lost all care for, in terms of color. With a face that's mostly frowning, it's hard to tell if he's in a good or bad mood and it's even harder to tell if he hates your guts or not. There's no one who looks more timid, yet unapproachable than Peter; his cold, blue-eyed gaze is usually turned on himself and his feet, whilst he does his damn hardest to blend into the background. Out of everyone in Hollywood, Peter has the most obvious nervous tick, in which he fiercely chews his bottom lip, avoids any eye contact to an infuriating degree, as well as wrings his hands and wrists until they're red and burning.

---

---

Personality:
"I'm a man who's been the butt of every joke. Who's been ridiculed and humiliated all his life. I'm a man who has the gall to silently stand by as his wife takes the one thing he loves away from him. I'm a man who's recently understood the meaning of desolation and turmoil and I hate it with every ounce of my being. There's only one thing I'd fight tooth and nail for and that's not myself—that opportunity is long gone. But, just because I've lost the will to live for myself doesn't mean I'll just lie down and die like the world wants me to. It's far from over."

Timid is an understatement.

There's no one quite as soft spoken and quiet as Peter, but what's so great about him is his ability to entirely wash away any notion of his terribly obvious lack of confidence when taking on a role. Peter is a man of various talents (mostly geared toward acting, though some sprinkles of finance and business due to his upbringing), but such a humble personality it's almost shameful; however, he's more often taken advantage of than he is applauded for his prowess. What's more, he's not as amicable as he would seem, in spite of his quiet demeanor and shrunken stature. Many people often consider his brevity sarcastic and cold, and misinterpret what he says in most circumstances. Most of what he does and says is genuine and Peter does his best to stay an honest man, especially when it really doesn't matter if he lies or not. In spite of his status, most people tend to stray away from him in hopes of finding someone who better supplies them with a more interesting story or better looking features. Not many people like taking photos of a hunched over man who looks a lot older than he really is. As well, people who hire him for a movie either knows he'll rake in the cash or wants someone who's malleable enough for them to either take advantage of or to best appreciate their ideas and the direction they wish to take a movie. Not many people look at his resume and think, "Wow, what a great guy!" If you have a reputation of being a pushover, whilst having enough talent and fame to make money off of, then you tend to get a lot of job offers, either good or bad, but mostly bad.

What's so special about Peter, though, is his talent to fully meld into a role and play it exactly the way it should be, or even beyond that. It's almost his escape, in that he is quick to completely throw away the person that he was to become fully absorbed into the world he's been hired to act in. Not that he'd tell a soul the real reason behind why he acts and why he's so exceptional at it. However, Peter doesn't see this as a talent or something to be proud of, especially with the way he goes about doing it. As he sees it, he's doing all of it wrong and can't be as good as he wants to be if he continues making the entire process a whole daydream. More, though, Peter doesn't think highly of himself in general and jumps to the conclusion that issues are his fault. In doing so, he makes it a job of his to clean up after both himself and other people, taking blame, doing whatever he can to correct mistakes that he supposedly made. Not only that, but he blames the end of his marriage on himself, despite the fact that his wife was the one using him and then immediately grew tired in the process. Though, in truth, it was his fault that it failed, as she was content enough to leech money and whatever she could until he was effectively ran dry.

But, if there's one thing that Peter cares deeply for, it's his daughter. And the moment his wife decided to let everything go, but his daughter, he was more than willing to give her every penny he ever made and every possession he ever had, and when bargaining wasn't enough, he brooded and plotted until the court date finally came around. Peter pulled every trick in the book, spent nights studying whatever law he could, just so she couldn't take his little girl away from him. And he won full custody, all because he knew exactly how to completely tire his wife out. She grew impatient, complied to his terms in court and gave full custody over to him, as long as she could see her at least once a week. Being a guy who was used to being thrown under the bus, he knew how she could be feeling and reluctantly gave her the privilege. Just as long as his whole world wasn't taken away from him and she, and the actual world, could see the fire in his eyes when it came to him and his daughter. That was a subject no one touched, no one who knew just how serious he took the situation, that is.

Ultimately, Peter is a smart cookie, with a trigger that could fuel him for years if necessary, and a great talent for acting—no one denies that, even as they're being underhanded and corrupt with him. Broken by self-hate and hate, in general, Peter only has one thing he lives for and it's quite obvious who that is.

History:

Used to the cold Siberian winters of Russia, Peter spent a lot of his life in the country that might as well be its own continent. It was difficult, especially with how downtrodden and stricken by poverty his family was. It wasn't until he was just rounding out at twelve years old, did his parents find a way to get to a place where they could make a life for themselves. Settling down in London, England, his father invested his entire life in something that was bound to fail. However, to the surprise of mostly his family, he struck gold and with it he built up a business venture that would nearly monopolize the niche of industry it made its fortune in. From an apartment that could only comfortably fit a toddler to a manor in the suburbs of the affluent. It became the perfect habitat for a child to be raised, with a safety net and all the time and money in the world. But, Peter was happy with what he had back in Russia, with what he had in the tiny hovel of an apartment they lived in in the middle of London.

Home was a sanctuary, a place where he could bide his time safely doing whatever he wanted and it was usually him plastered in front of a TV, harmlessly watching shows and movies. Peter was unusually quiet for a child and relatively agreeable when asked to do anything, from his parents. There wasn't a complaint that came out of his mouth, not even a huff of frustration and it drove his parents up the walls. They didn't do a thing to harm or hurt him, though, and eventually got used to the odd nature of their child, who wanted nothing more than to be left watching everything and anything he could, from Casablanca to Psycho to Some Came Running and more. It was what he was nerdy about and not a soul didn't know. That was what started the bullying, his general and extreme obsession with filmography and acting, and then people started realizing just how much of a push-over he was. It went on to outright using him to do whatever they wanted. He did homework, helped people cheat on tests, pranked teachers, did a lot of awful things because pretty much anyone who wanted to could threaten to do a whole lot worse to him. The sudden rebellious streak caught his parents off guard, but he said nothing and went about the day just as he always did. It confused his parents into just letting the phase play out because he gave no red flags, no cue that he was being used, bullied, ridiculed, and so they didn't have to worry unless he was actually hurting someone. Not only that, but Peter was an adept at hiding any visible injuries. He can't do what a makeup artist does, but he knows the right amount of foundation for him to be able to cover up a black eye or cut, or whatever he needed. And it wasn't at all odd that he began wearing more layers than was comfortable for a person.

It didn't really get better as he got older because he didn't necessarily have the demeanor to thrive in the outside world. No one was calling him names or beating the living shit out of him, but they were seeing more potential in him and with that, the opportunity to manipulate him to further their own goals. Peter grew up to take over his father's industry, seeing as he was the only child, and thus went into business and financing until he could churn out numbers and come up with ideas himself that would rake in as much of a profit as possible. Of course, he only spent a few years outside of college before he finally realized just how much he hated running a company. It wasn't what he loved; it wasn't at all what he dreamed he'd be doing, just accepted as fact. And it suddenly wasn't hard for his father to tell exactly what was wrong, as if that entire decade of turmoil wasn't loud enough for him. He handed the company back over reluctantly, since his father didn't necessarily have a way to retire without an heir to take over.

Impulsively and with the aid and push from his mother, Peter picked up an acting job in the UK and throttled himself from there. From commercials to a hit TV show. No one quite knew the actual how of his sudden rocket forward, and simply put it up to money and talent. This was his dream and all those years spent in front of the TV wasn't just for simple entertainment; he took joy in studying and analyzing the best of the best. The fans saw him as a godsend they were waiting for and the entertainment industry saw him as a money machine—a goldmine waiting to burst. That's exactly what he did for the suddenly prospering TV Show Mile High, a previously dead end production that attempted a spin off from the hit Airplane parody that aired in 1996 in America and was about to get lost and forgotten in the shuffle of failed projects. But along came Peter to not only revive the project, but to take it to heights even the director didn't think it could go. Hit comedy, of which he promptly won a BAFTA for himself and the show three seasons in a row before he set his eyes on broader horizons, or rather had a few offers that he couldn't necessarily deny. Sadly, the show quickly took a nosedive with his absence and got cancelled after the viewers moved on.

From there, Peter moved from show to show and eventually to the big screen where his fans followed. And with him, money followed. He was used to getting ideas, both good and bad, out in the open. He even gave a production that would have been shut down almost immediately a chance to gather a following and eventually throttle it forward into leading a political party most people abhorred. Further productions like that stained Peter's reputation, though he didn't once complain and interviewers soon found they couldn't quite get the response they wanted out of him. That was the one good thing about his extreme self-consciousness; it was easier to get a whale to walk on land than it was to get even a tiny rise out of him. He took the hits like a bulwark, even if it really crushed him, but he couldn't possibly say no to a job that paid well. Well... that wasn't really the reason: he couldn't say no at all.

Which was why that gal who saw him only for his money and resources walked up to him and told him upfront, didn't hide it one bit, that he was a prize waiting to be taken. And she took him, used him, threw him away when she didn't want him anymore. But, she always came back to do the same thing over again. Peter knew exactly what she was doing, but did nothing about it—didn't even delude himself and call it 'love'. He didn't love her, and how could he? But, she could fabricate anything she wanted, use whatever she wanted and knew she would get away with it. He wouldn't deny a damn thing and would have taken the full blow without batting an eyelash and, thus, have everything he worked so hard for crushed and destroyed. But, that was his fault and he couldn't help that he was made that way. And there was absolutely nothing that he was currently living for. Peter only ever got the parts he truly wanted, was truly invested in, once in a blue moon and the rest were obvious ploys to get a message out to the people, or to further someone's career, get something that no one in their right mind would see onto the blockbuster list, or just to get as much money as possible. Add insult to injury, he won a damn Oscar for a supporting role in a movie that should have been doomed to fail and he didn't get a lick of respect for it, much less the money that he worked damn hard for.

When everything was just about to fall on top of him, and on top of being forced to move out of his comfortable home, something amazing happened. The cliche would be that his wife finally realized the error of her ways and they both fell in love, but not exactly. In the storm of his life, Peter acquired a child—well, technically they both had a child... together, but that's not what mattered. This beautiful little girl was the sign he needed, the life he needed to finally live for and someone who actually needed him for something that wasn't to further their own goals. She needed him for something trivial, but something of such vast importance it trumped and continues to trump anything and everything that was thrown his way, in a paradoxical manner he couldn't even try explaining. Not only this, but he finally got roles he'd been waiting his whole life for, as if it took this long for his luck to realize it was being a complete ass. Better late than never, though, right? And this little girl, Lucelia, adored her father to a near ingratiating degree. They were each other's worlds and that devil of a mother didn't really seemed to care, as long as she continued to live her comfortable, cushioned life. Though, even that was coming to an end.

Peter finally told her no. On top of that, he told her a secret he'd not told a soul, not even his parents knew about. Told her she finally had something real and true on him that he no longer cared for. She lashed out in a way he didn't expect, but he retaliated in a way no one would have predicted. And the whole world was eating from the palm of their hands, it was that good.

Tooth and nail.

Hair pulling.

Dirty fighting.

Sucker punches.

All proverbial, of course, but every tactic from Sun Tzu to Admiral Ackbar was used and exhausted when the threat of his daughter's well being was in question. Being married for so long, he knew everything about that lady, whilst she knew absolutely nothing about him. Exhausted and unwilling to fight any longer, she gave Lucelia up and promptly walked away without qualm or quarrel. She finally left him alone.

And he absolutely didn't want to run out of his luck. He spent day and night with his little girl, took her on set, did everything with her and eventually found himself helping to direct and produce movies, if only to make it easier on his daughter. With a background like his, he knew the essentials of producing a movie, as well as how to run a company. A movie was just a business venture to be ran and how efficiently it was ran was up to the people who committed themselves to the project. It was a well enough investment that he usually got enough money out of it to support himself even more so than before. As long as he could see to his daughter as much as possible, he was happy with doing just about anything and flexing his brain muscles and all that fun stuff.

Miscellaneous:
-Is a well known actor, but has recently taken a break as to not stretch his luck and is more looking into producing and directing movies, at the moment.
-Has won 4 Oscars, 5 BAFTAs, 2 Emmies, and even a Tony, as well as countless others, while being nominated for numerous other awards in his career.
-Was previously married, but went through a very rough and publicized divorce, though the reasons for it have become a mystery the public has attempted so hard to grasp. It's under a lock and key that Peter isn't willing to hand over without a fight.
-Has a little girl named Lucelia that he simply can't live without.
-Currently spends most of his time in a small house somewhere in North Carolina, but his main residencies are in Upper Manhattan and West Los Angeles.
-Is often likened to a hedgehog
-Loves it when people ask him, "Are you [insert character] from [insert movie/show]?" because it reminds him that people do appreciate what he does, at least some people do. If one person likes him in a movie, then mission accomplished.
-If asked what his favorite role or favorite movie he was in was, then he'll immediately freeze up and stutter endlessly before excusing himself for tea or coffee.
-Doesn't have an accent, though people wonder constantly if it's just him covering up whatever native accent he has. He's not said a word to confirm or deny. Sometimes, he likes to keep things a mystery. Though, he does sometimes slip into either a subtle London accent, or a meek, central Russian accent.
-Adores his fans, Chevy Chasers, to an invariable degree, however numerous or not so numerous they are. Doesn't know where they coined that term and hopes to God no one decides to sue him for it.
-Among movies he's done, the most recognized are Life Beyond Simple Measures, a modern, romantic drama by Woody Allen, in which he played Ronald Greene, It's a Wonderful Life, a modernized homage and rework of the classic, in which he played George Bailey, and The Hamlet Dilemma, a dark dramedy some now consider a classic, in which he played Roman Hamlet Carolls. The most controversial movie he's done was probably a very botched and misguided revival of the book and movie, Animal Farm, in which the names of certain animals were replaced by politicians and the satire was made cruder and more direct with its political views. Not only that, but the two movies weren't very well spread apart in years and it got various lawsuits, in which Peter was thoroughly tied down in. A lot of money and box office sales were lost in the fiasco, but he somehow won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, which is currently stuffed in the deep recesses of his basement, along with the movie and anything related to it.

What are your thoughts on the director, Luke Clemens? Do you believe he is as perfect as his fanbase lets on?

"Perfect?" Peter echoed, lifting his head up to catch the lights overhead. A visible squint in his eyes, he gave a firm shake of his head, still staring past the interviewer. There's a lengthy pause, in which Peter's brows knotted and his tongue darted out to lick the top of his lips before scrapping downward and back in. A cough caught his attention, to which he promptly looked back down with an arch in his brow and a glint playing across his eyes.

"Young."

Perplexed, the interviewer tilted her head forward, narrowing her eyes at Peter. "Just young?" she pressed and Peter simply nodded.

---

Maximillian Harrison? He got quite a bad rap as a clumsy stunt man. I hear that's not good for a man in his line of work.

It took awhile and a good lot of squinting at the interviewer before realizing who Maximillian was. A light tint of red shaded his cheeks, of which he promptly leaned to the side to grab the attention of the onstage assistant. "Could I get a cup of tea? Hot, unsweetened, please," he covered his mouth as he spoke, as to further hush his voice. Turning back he gave a thin smile and apologized.

"I wouldn't say clumsy," he pondered, head slanting to the side a bit as his eyes focused on the interviewer's hand, "Maybe willingly naive is a better description."

"Oh?" she mouthed, her eyes widening and her lips curving into the smallest smirk.

"About the industry," Peter continued, pausing to catch her look. She nodded for him to go on, gesturing with her hand. After not getting another word for what seemed like a full minute and a half, she almost faded back, paled slightly, and frowned deeply at the quiver in his brow and the immediate pursing of his lips—the bottom of which was suddenly being chewed on ferociously.

"Ah. Let's move on, then. Is there any chance of you starring...?"

---

What of Harris Klein? I'm sure as a man looking to broaden his horizons in the film industry, you must pull some inspiration from a man who obviously knew his stuff.

With head tilted forward, taking a quick sip of the hot tea given to him moments ago, Peter gave a curt shrug in response. "Lost, I guess," he mumbled, eyes darting to the side as he carefully set the cup down, "A fish swimming upstream; I know the feeling."

"Care to elaborate?" the interviewer asked, hiding the anticipated look that graced her features.

"Not really," Peter commented, hands once again reaching for the cup to hide his face behind and muffle his words, "I'd be using different, more complex words and syntax, but I'd be more or less repeating myself. I said it simply enough—that should suffice."

---

Do you know Brett Arlington? A lady of many words and no work ethic; I'm certain you have something to say about that, being a producer now. Aren't producers supposed to be protective of their work? Their... artistic integrity?

With the cup still hovering over his face, Peter rose an eyebrow at her question. His leg rose to drape over the other, foot tapping in the air rapidly. In spite of the relaxed position, Peter always had a knack for looking completely uncomfortable, to a degree that it made people ache and pity him. It seemed the raise brow was questioning just what the lady was trying to garner from the query, but he made no move to ask and instead made a wild guess. Maybe he was supposed to act outraged, but the feeling that sunk into his stomach and threatened to postpone the interviewer further.

If only.

"I, uh," he stuttered, taking a quick sip of his tea, "think she'd be better suited to comedies and TV shows?"

"Really? Don't think she's talented enough for the big screen?"

"No," Peter gulped, "I mean, she is and she's proven that, but her skills and ethics are more suited to maybe things that don't require such strict methods of production. Her talent would be better highlighted in an environment where it's more reliable. Show quality has risen up to the standard of Hollywood blockbusters, but still don't require the need to... actively read the script and analyze it very well beforehand."

---

Oh, son of a movie legend; I'm sure you've heard of Nicholas Lyons. His father was pretty high up there, but his son is just a shadow of what his father was, don't you think? Subpar acting riding high on the fame and fortune of a dead man.

That was harsh. That was kind of beyond harsh and he couldn't disagree more if he wanted to.

His eyes traveled downward, noticing the pen in her hand hanging just above the paper. Apparently, she was anticipating some kind of high-horse, highfalutin, 'I'm better than you,' talk, as if she had somehow been told that Peter's quiet, unsociable demeanor was because he was just a pompous asshat who thought he was better than everyone. Well, she'd soon find out that that was not the case; in fact, Peter thought quite the opposite. However, she didn't take it that way as he began to move in his seat, setting his tea down.

The assistant immediately came forward, hair sweeping in a wide arc as she grasped his cup and walked away. He didn't have the time to comment on how well she kept her hair as he began to insist she not and that it was perfectly fine. Guess she thought he needed it more than he thought he did. Maybe he just looked perpetually stressed.

"Uh," Peter uttered, slumping back into the seat he was in. He looked at her again, noticing her raised eyebrows and sudden, repeated clicking of her pen.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he recalled the question and answered, "Well, I can't really say."

"Is that so?" she cooed and smiled, writing something down.

"No, not really," Peter said, frowning at her actions, "He's a far better actor than I am and so was his father."

The interviewer immediately stopped writing, frowned very deeply, and scratched out her notes.

---

Virgil Siegfried Holst, big name in the business. I bet it's just so tiring for him to run around as much as he does. I bet he'd love to settle down, relax, find someone amicable and useful enough in Hollywood.

That one kind of hit home.

No, that one was pretty good.

There was absolutely nothing going through his mind. All he could muster up was a lousy gulp, to which the interviewer simply smiled a small, toothy grin. She didn't say anything and her silence crawled through him like the reddish tint that choked his neck and face. What didn't help was that his divorce was just rather recent, just over two years, meaning the events that unfolded and what he went through was still fresh in his mind. This lady, whoever she was, could certainly tell from the way he fidgeted in his seat. Pins and needles washed through him. This wasn't harmless goading; this was malicious harassment and he couldn't say a thing about it. Especially not from the way she worded her questions.

Opening his mouth to speak, it was as if his brain immediately decided to shut down and focus on processing the information that somehow still assaulted him. Holding a finger up, Peter immediately brought it down to the corner of his lips, eyes trying to find something other than the interviewer to focus on. They found the assistant not too far behind the lady, focusing on what she was currently doing: writing in a small journal, her eyes fleetingly observing what was currently going on. He didn't quite get the courage he needed, but he did find enough time to fully absorb the information and respond in kind.

"I'm not sure what you're insinuating," he mumbled, still finding the time to chew on his lip, "I have a daughter to take care of, which doesn't leave much time for anything else."

"Nothing to deny?"

"Why would there be?" he responded as his brows came together, "This is a professional interview, right?"

The lady hummed, still smiling as she brought a finger to her lips and crossed her legs.

---

In contrast to your fame and stardom, what's your take on the sudden rise and popularity of Youtube stars, who create and manage their own small productions? In particular, what're your thoughts on working with Jake Wilson?

"You say that is if I don't need constant reminding of my 'fame'," Peter quietly uttered, still hiding behind the cup of tea clenched tightly in his hands. The interviewer forced a laugh, tilting her head back for added affect—it made him cringe slightly. He understood that not many people enjoyed interviewing him.

"He's an every-man living out his dream," Peter finally answered, almost shrugging as his eyes drifted toward his shoes.

"You're saying he's average?" she twisted his words, smiling as she did so, "Don't think highly of podcasters and independent stars?"

"I said it as a term of endearment," Peter stuttered as the cup was set down and it seemed he fancied wringing his hands more than the fragile glass, "I understand why people like him; I don't understand why people like me."

---

Since you'll be working with more than just the director and the actors, you must know some of the less flashy stars, right? Like the up and comer, Phoebe J. Collins who's made herself known in the industry, but not the public.

"She gets the job done," Peter remarked, quietly rubbing the cup in his hands as his eyes glazed over. After a few moments, he coughed and apologized, flashing a quick smile as he continued, "Memorable."

A thinly veiled puff emitted from the woman's lips, obligated to attempt to press the man further, "Memorable, how?"

Noticing the tired look and the frustration knitting her brows, Peter simply nodded and answered in kind, "I was just being nostalgic. Nothing of importance; I apologize."

---

You've heard of Leo PNB Xavier, right? I imagine so, seeing as you've lived in London most of your life. And especially since his sister is such a rising star in the industry. Any thoughts on his sort of fading into film production and becoming a simple costume designer?

Looked like the interviewer threw all caution to the wind; she wasn't hiding her blatant want to get a rise out of him, something to slam onto the covers. And Peter, as he quickly retrieved his cup of tea, began to avoid any contact with her, preferring the nice lilacs that acted as a divider between them. What came as a disappointment was the sudden nothingness that hit his lips as he tilted the cup upward. Empty, just like any shred of confidence that swam in that mind of his. And just how many cups had he had?

Giving up on hiding his face, Peter grasped onto his wrists, vice grip already reddening the pale surface. "People have their dreams and passions," he began, still fervently staring at the lilacs on the coffee table, "There's nothing simple about it."

"Then what would you call it?"

"Certainly not fading away," he uttered quietly, "more like finding yourself—public approval notwithstanding."

---

Hm, not much about Amy Ho, is there? Do you know her? Any comments in regards to her talents or whatever?

A break in the onslaught of instigation that the interviewer was no longer attempting to hide. Peter let out a sigh he figured she couldn't hear and leaned further into the cushion. The interview had him so on edge, he forgot just how to relax—not that that wasn't a thing Peter usually remembered to do. The irony immediately planted a small smile, no longer thin and pursed, onto his features.

"Works hard just to work hard," Peter commented, "but knows more than a lot of people claim to know."

Lifting the tea cup, he did his best to keep the smile on his face as he added, "Loves coffee as much as I love tea." The assistant promptly retrieved the cup before he could object, his whole body almost leaning forward as he stumbled on his apology.

---

Ella Lindgren? I'm just picking names from a hat here.

"Not sure," Peter shrugged, tapping the edge of the cup as he began to take in his surroundings.

Musing, he crossed his legs and looked up to signal she wait for him to finish a thought. She simply sighed.

"I avoid her, mostly," he slid the cup down as he shrugged lightly, "I guess she does good work."

---

What about Max Goldstein? A man who's just starting out in producing has no doubt heard of this Max. Any competition or butting of heads you see in your future? Not everyone's going to like your ideas and if that someone's Max, then you're production has a big roadblock ahead of it.

"Nope," he said plainly, not catching the wording she attempted to use this time.

"Not at all?" she gave him a blank stare, doing her best to contain her agitation.

"We have our differences," Peter started, though didn't make any hints that he'd continue.

Sighing, the interviewer simply rubbed her temples and pinched the bridge of her nose before moving onto the next question.

---

Leila Fox is new to the scene, any thoughts on her?

"She was very excited to meet me," Peter said, smiling brightly. However, that bright smile quickly stretched into a frown as the memory fully registered.

"Um," he looked over to the side a bit, his hand reaching back to scratch his neck while he continued, "After two minutes, she looked a bit... disappointed."

A sigh escaped his lips, his eyes following the patterns he was making with his shoes. The feeling that was attached to his name really wasn't quite foreign, so her bouncy attitude that quickly melted into a reserved, almost regretful demeanor wasn't at all a surprise. The interviewer, however, was too busy looking at her nails to catch the sullen look etched into his sunken expression. Peter almost nodded at her, but quickly caught himself.

"I tend to do that to people," he noted.

"Really?" she said, not even looking up from her hand.

---

As for my final question in regards to you coworkers, colleagues, whatever: what's a pretty lady like Addison Matthews doing being an assistant producer? She's quite young, a doll, something that I'm sure could be cause for concern, am I right?

Of course, an interviewer can't outright say something like, 'Are you going to take advantage of your position as a Producer and movie star to get in bed with someone aspiring to do the things you do, in hopes that she would form connections that would rocket her career forward,' but it was blatantly obvious that that was what she was trying to get across. Peter's lips parted, teeth clenched and his face contorted slightly. A finger shot up to lodge itself between his lips as he forced himself not to chew his lower lip raw. The interviewer took this as a moment to press the situation further, but it honestly looked like she gave up on holding out for something scandalous to gossip about. Her eyes focused completely on him, but he could tell by the slouched over shoulders and lazed tilt in her head meant she'd rather this be over.

"She's... not my type?" Peter squeaked out, lurching his head forward as he spoke, "I don't know what your asking."

In a disbelieving tone, Peter scratched his head and asked, "Are you sure you know who I am?"

"It's why I didn't want to do this in the first place," she groaned, standing from her seat as she immediately left the set.

Looking down at his cup of tea, Peter sighed as the comment sunk in. The assistant who patiently stood above him caught his attention and he realized why the lady was still standing there. Downing his beverage in a rush, he handed her the cup and stood, thanked her and promptly wandered around lost. The interviewer barreled the last few questions as if she was running a damn marathon, which left him with over twenty minutes left of simply waiting for the nanny to call.

Maybe he'd go for some ice cream, rub it in his daughter's face, and then promptly get her the largest serving they had at the local ice cream parlor across the street and watch her get her yellow sundress all splattered with every flavor they had.

Virgil Siegfried Holst

Name:
Virgil Siegfried Holst
Nicknames:
Gil
Gender:
Male
Age:
33
Position:
Actor - self-explanatory, teehee.

---

---

Appearance:
A stark 6'3" and weighing at 188 lbs, Virgil is the embodiment of a confident individual, with a snarky attitude to boot. Charming, dashing, everything you could ever want in a man.

'Cept, not really.

From a bystander's point of view and seeing him on the big screen and in photos inside magazines, he's a man who stands as if he demands attention. Like he's gonna reach out and grab you by the collar, slam you up against the wall, and proceed to emasculate every part of your being. Wide gait, authoritative, 'I'm taking up all this space' kind of stance, and piercing blue eyes to boot; and that smile is to die for, with all those pearly whites shiny in the blinding supernova of camera shots. Sharp jaw, sharp nose, and sharp hair. The latter not literal, but something of equal importance to his ensemble. Decked out in mostly fashionable suits or designer wear whenever in large public gatherings, but that's not what garners the attention he usually gets. The award winning smile of his and such well kept hair—obsidian bangs bouncing just above eye level in a feathery bunch that looked as if he attempted to sweep it to the side multiple times, in vain—are enough to make his fans weak in the knees. Slicked back on the sides, displaying the main attraction of his features like a pair of sparkling Valentino suits in a windowsill, there's nothing quite he values more in aesthetics than his hair. A fierce gaze and a figure sculpted out of the finest marble demands attention, seizes it, and never lets it go. With a presence like his, it's hard not to look at him, either with raging contempt and jealousy, or admiration that leaves you breathless and drooling. (Does not account for the number of people who consider him bland looking and not at all attractive; every dichotomy is a false dichotomy, sadly)

To top it all off, Virgil is nothing at all what he seems. A raging goofball with a propensity to fall on tied shoelaces, Virgil builds up the hope that he's the knight in shining armor waiting to sweep a fair maiden off her feet and promptly obliterates it. He doesn't just tear it down—he takes an atom bomb to it and then proceeds to burn whatever's left of it to ashes. Outside of anything professional, red carpet highlights or actual movies, Virgil is a disaster waiting to happen. In fact, he has more blooper reels of his mishaps and mistakes than Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker do in all of the Rush Hour movies combined. That charming smile turns into a wide, sheepish grin that knows just what the hell it did to that ten thousand dollar camera and the wide set gait of his turns into a pair of jumbling feet attempting to retrieve the footing it lost. Messy and kind of unkempt, the only thing that remains of the dashing young(ish) lad in that movie is the hair. But, he isn't a slob nor is he gross beyond measure, just clumsy to an incredible degree and goofy more or less 90 percent of the time he's off camera... and maybe 20 to 50 percent of the time the camera's rolling. And not only that, but his once deep set and smooth as molasses voice goes up an octave and is filled with 'oops,'s, 'I'm sorry,'s, and 'pardon me,'s to an ingratiating degree and rolls off his tongue faster than most people can comprehend.

His mother has no idea what some of his coworkers are talking about, though.

"That goofball of mine is a bundle of adorable waiting to explode. It just so happens he explodes onto the most expensive things these days—at least he cleans up after himself and pays for it. You should have seen him when he was a kid," thick Minnesotan accent filled with only words of endearment a mother could come up with. Especially since she's not known the mercy of a well-balanced child who's ruined more china sets than a bull in that idiom people use to describe disastrously graceless individuals.

---

---

Personality:
Well, what more is there to explain?

Bright-eyed and bushy tailed, it's hard to tell if he's willingly ignorant because it truly is blissful, or if he really understands what goes on around him and is just that resilient. Regardless, Virgil treats his life like a movie just waiting to be filmed and his lack of seriousness tends to make him hard to work with, purely because it's like telling a child with ADHD to sit still—the problem being that he is afflicted with ADHD, not diagnosed for so long because of a slightly ignorant mother. Of course, when all of the goofing off has flown overhead and he's exhausted himself of it, Virgil more than makes up for the lack of work by double timing it. By enveloping himself in his work space and melding into a role; it's like staring at a different person when he acts, as if he's truly brought that person alive and into the real world. The transformative process isn't because he sees something out of the role that others don't, that he garners a message that a character is somehow portraying, and he certainly doesn't look into a role so deeply that he can pull some out of it that suddenly 'makes sense'. He acts well because he understands what acting is at its base form, aside from all the technicalities, the intonations, the facial features, the body language, the subtleties; none of that truly matters at the simplest. It's pretending, make believe, becoming a different person and bringing that world to life for others to enjoy and escape. Of course, he can't take a role and suddenly become it because understanding doesn't make his contract or talent void of any work—he just knows how to amplify and become a role he's given to a degree, without any attachments. It's art to him, it's his passion, and it's painfully obvious in the way he works. All the technicalities seem to coalesce under a specifically honed skill and innate talent, but most of all a kind of ardor unique to Virgil.

A fellow who either makes loyal friends, or livid enemies. He portrays a very amicable person, maybe a little too friendly for some people and possibly someone who may seem like he has ulterior motives. Of course, about 99% of the time, he doesn't have a motive other than to cavort around like a complete idiot and tool. Loud, boisterous, completely unaware of the volume of his voice off-camera, Virgil is an obtrusive individual who intends to poke too deeply into another person's life and personal space. It's a degree of curiosity that comes off as rude, more than anything else, but he mostly has good intentions and is just a little overly friendly and may not get the hint most people tend to drop. It's not odd for people to drop the 'annoying,' adjective, which is the politest term used to describe him, in regards to how they feel about him, but again, either he's extremely resilient or truly just that ignorant.

Life is a roller-coaster, and there's really no way around that. Just like anyone, Virgil has his highs and lows, except he just responds differently to the stress in his life. Being in the spot he is in and doing the job he does is truly something worth being happy for. He looks at his life as if he was the luckiest guy in the world and, in a sense, he kind of is. Completely contradicting his previously boisterous attitude, in solitude Virgil is a guy of an odd calmness who, more or less, is a kid completely worn out from a day of nothing but running and doing things only someone stupid or young would do. Virgil is just as happy with a bowl of ice cream and a good movie as he is with a bottle of beer and a raucous crowd. It just takes some time and a nice place to wind him down enough for the moment his actual ADHD decides to completely exhaust him and further entice him with the offer of relaxation. In saying that, not many people know the quieter, more thoughtful side of Virgil and it says a lot about how he really feels about those he deems friends. There's a special kind of person that really gets to know the deeper side of Virgil and it's not the random stranger in a pub or on the sidewalk.

So, yeah, Virgil is willingly ignorant in public and truly resilient all around. He knows his way around the business side of a movie, knows the themes surrounding certain areas and the ideas that plague the thoughts of the average human being. In all honesty, he simply doesn't care enough to bog his life down with the same plague like thoughts that stress the population. He's got a life unlike any other and he knows it. He doesn't rub it in people's faces, but he does relish in the fact that he's just a tad different and will continue to do so until it either comes crashing down or ends with him in his own grave. There's nothing wrong with enjoying life. But, then again, he'd probably enjoy rolling around the deep green, grassy fields of his home town, forgetting the hustle and the bustle of city life and preferring the quiet lights of the stars overhead over the flashing mob of paparazzi. A guilty pleasure of his usually surrounds the fact that, in all its irony, Virgil, above all else, soaks in the rapture of the rural country, rolling green far off into the horizon. Peace in the flourish of a busy life is like a bastion waiting to be unfurled and savored. Not the passion that's of the calibre acting is to him, but take movies away, and there's nothing he'd love more.

History:
From tiny farm in Minnesota to the large expanse of bustling Los Angeles. It didn't stat out necessarily the way a tragic story would, with a kid who's past is riddled with hardships left and right. Virgil had an ordinary life, was one of those kids who wished upon a star when they were little, but left any dream of being a princess and astronaut with their youth. You know, moved on to being an accountant for a big business firm or maybe just a local grocer destined to live in their small town forever. There was no pity in that because life there was easy, to some degree, and not filled with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, or the backstabbing pain and mask wearing of the entertainment industry. Roll with the punches, but don't forget to lash back in the most vindictive way possible. Scandals galore. But, the scandals of small town Minnesota were trivial in comparison.

"Charlie didn't go to church on Sunday!" insert a multitude of gasps.

"Did you know Betsy's son is gay?" insert more gasps.

They were tossed behind your back and forgotten the next meet 'n greet because they didn't really matter when facing the person up front. Most people knew scandals weren't what made the person; scandals were for entertainment purposes, so they were either so blase that talking about it wouldn't affect the person's reputation one bit or just things knowing blown out of proportion because their soul purpose was to start a chat. Everything was taken at face value and most of the people in his town were honest, maybe a little brutally so, but they didn't fuss or complain about each other. The town was so small, neighbors knew neighbors across the other side what should have been called a village. Rumor mills weren't used to garner as much money from a 'who slept with who' story and no one made it out to be anything more than fun. You went to church on Sunday, school or work the rest of the days, went to family outings on Saturdays, went to the football games on Fridays, and simply lived your life. There was nothing more to it. And when you grew up, you'd move to the next house over and raise your family on the intrinsic values you grew up with. Nothing more and nothing less.

Virgil grew up with those ideals, made through life like the kid next to him and folded into the mold set by his small town society and his parent's ideals. Sure, he had his dreams, every kid did. His were just tailored more toward being an actor than a princess or an astronaut; not many kids liked to watch movies and then reenact them for his parents. Not many kids begged for tap shoes and wanted to be a different iteration of Clark Gable every time Halloween came around. Kids usually dropped their dreams around adolescence, preferring the rudimentary and mundane life of a teenager in the middle of nowhere. There was no way to improve on the talent that he possessed aside from the continuous putting on a show for the parents when he came around to hitting puberty. To his father, it was about time to stamp out any hopes of being a star and time to take up a shovel and start working a real job. The doe-eyed, proud of my son look that never seemed to escape his mother's features had more in mind than throwing Virgil's dreams out the window. Naive and just wanting what was best for her child, she fostered his passion more so with the lessons she piled onto her paycheck so far from the town it took about two hours to and from the place. Not only that, but she past the point of no return when, without consent from his father, took him to New York to see what was all the rage on Broadway.

That was it. There was no going back then. The glint in Virgil's eyes were long past returning to the safe, humdrum of farm life. This was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life, however long or short that would be. It excited his mother, even if she had no inkling of a clue as to how to get him there. You give a woman who hasn't a clue of how something work talent beyond measure and she'll tell you it's pretty good. Not fantastic, not revolutionary, just good. That's what she had with Virgil, that's what the whole town had with Virgil. Not a single soul knew of the paramount of brilliance tied up in that little mind of his, tap dancing and singing and acting to his hearts content as if he hadn't just hit the jackpot. Who knew a six year old kid could match a powerhouse like Freddie Mercury in pitch and range and could dance the toes off the instructor? Well, maybe not exactly; there was a lot of untapped potential in Virgil that just needed the right push. He wasn't a child prodigy, by any means, but he had more talent in his pinky finger than a lot of people.

So, getting into one of the most prestigious schools wasn't that big of a surprise. Well, maybe not from where he is now, but then it was like he needed to pinch himself every few minutes to see if he was still awake. Virgil made his big break at Julliard, was in numerous productions before he went on further to audition for The Light in the Piazza and snatched the supporting role of Fabrizio Naccarelli. And then further went on to be cast in numerous other musicals and a play before finding himself in Hollywood a few years later. Finally, still young enough and certainly with the looks to do so, he scored a large role on the elusive Catcher in the Rye (is currently being scrutinized since the rights have been so difficult to get), in which he was the perfect age and height to portray the phony hating Holden Caulfield, and then going on to star in an original romantic comedy, Damnable and Irrevocably Irritating, where he played the ever charming younger brother of the lead, played by Paul Rudd. Both of which he won Oscars and was nominated for numerous other awards. Finally going on to further his career in various other productions, Virgil simply goes with whatever graces him and does so with a smile on his face. Still thinking he's more than lucky and definitely not wanting to screw any of his chances up, he's more than happy to continue doing as he is.

Furthermore, he tends to bounce from Los Angeles to New York, between Broadway productions and the big screen. And finally, always finding time to head back to Minnesota to relax with his family, primarily when his movies hit the big screen. Every time a movie with his name comes out, his tiny town tends to hold a small get together at a drive-in movie theatre, of which he attends a few days after the initial premiere showing. Virgil showed and still shows a great attachment to his small town and his family, even after the big fiasco that kind of had his name plastered to various magazines and had him running around the nation doing talk shows about his coming out. It took a little while for his hometown to get used to the fact, but have no doubt warmed up to him... probably because he's a kind enough fellow to fund various things within the town and keep its local businesses and schools on its feat. As well, they quickly learned he's still the same Virgil they've known their whole lives. Though, his mother still scolds him for not treating it as a big a deal as he should have and not taking care to ease the public into it—she smacked him upside the head after replaying the recording of the Golden Globes in which he came out on.

"...that kid, that guy right there, should get a medal for aiding an old bitty like me up the stairs. I've had so much to drink. Don't worry kid, I'll only shag you if you follow me out to my car. How old are you? Old enough."

To which she exclaimed, "Are you serious? I have no words for you right now, I'm so angry. That kid was seventeen! I read those magazines!" A quick slap to the back of the head again, this time to wipe the smile off of his face and the correction he was about to make. The kid was actually around his mid twenties. And then a stern talking to about protection and not being promiscuous, which funneled into a lot of misconceptions and misunderstandings about stereotypes until she was finally satisfied.

The good thing is that it did destroy any rumors of him and his female co-stars getting it on in his trailer, when they were really just acting like idiots.

At the moment, Virgil is just coming off of The Book of Mormon tour in the fall, where he played Elder Price, and is just finishing auditions for the current big-hit movie.

Miscellaneous:
-Has ADHD, which has always been a big factor in his life and kinda refuses to take medicine for it, so he's especially wild during moments where things are all happening at once, which is sometimes... well, most of the time on set. It's hard to grab his attention and the only thing that he can seem to do efficiently is act, which is his job, so most people tolerate it.
-Currently two Oscar wins, for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor, and has won 5 Tony Awards. As well, has won various GLAAD awards.
-Gets very defensive when people talk about those "lower" than them, especially since he came from a background in which he was raised and brought up in the world outside of showbiz and fame.
-Deep love of ferrets. Loves 'em. Can't get enough of 'em. Doesn't know why.
-Only had one relationship, of which wasn't very publicized and was kind of secretive. Most likely just a fling. Kept on the downlow primarily because it was with a director for a musical he starred in.
-Occasionally breaks into song and dance at random moments. Apart of being ADHD and needing something to grasp his attention when things are boring him.
-Has a home he doesn't normally go to in Los Angeles, somewhere in Malibu, and one he spends most of his time at in New York.
-If given a choice between California and New York, he'd most likely choose New York. But, then he'd go with Minnesota over all of them. And maybe Australia, if not given Minnesota as a choice.
-Hasn't actually spent time outside of the United States. Not once has a role demanded he fly out of country, though he certainly wishes he could travel more, but doesn't quite have the time.
-Doesn't hide much anymore, since there's really nothing too juicy or scandalous about him, something that the press learned quite a bit ago. Though, the coming out story hit the shelves quicker than he could run home to explain and there have been numerous false stories about him and his coworkers, mainly his relationships with some of his producers and directors, and sometimes his fellow costars. He can be a bit bland and the only real issue is that he's notorious for wrecking things on set.
-He's accumulated about a million or so bucks he's owed for damaged equipment, that he gladly pays for.
-(I might change the first movie he's starred in. Not sure if I can see him as a Holden Caulfield, but if no one minds, and I don't find something better to replace it, then I'll keep it there.)

Luke Clemens:

"A director who's still in the throes of puberty, that's... enough to be cautious. But, you gotta give a kid a chance—might be surprised. Who knows?"

Everyone's gotta start somewhere, that's a firm belief that Virgil holds close. Of course, he understands why people are even cautious, at all. Other than that, he's not really paid too much attention to Luke, as he doesn't really have the time to with his overly busy schedule. He might have caught a movie he was in or that he made, if he made any yet, but he doesn't have the memory to remember until it actually becomes a subject in a conversation he's a part of. All in all, he has no real high regards nor does he have any lesser opinions in regards to Luke—just a nice neutral that can easily be swayed into something positive through further interactions.

---

Maximillian Harrison:

"I'll show you clumsy—this guys is like James Bond with the that Skyfall theme blaring in the background. You tellin' me that he doesn't fake fall through those windows?"

The optimism is a good mark in Virgil's book, though he tends to not like using stuntmen as he prefers to do everything himself. It breaks the immersion for him and it's the only time everyone onset enjoys his hyperactive attitude. If he's having a stuntman do his thing, then there's no way to funnel the excess energy that Virgil has pint up inside himself. Of course, that doesn't mean he dislikes Max, not at all. In fact, he prefers his company over a lot of people's because he can actually tolerate him. Not only that, Max, Peter learned, is a good way to tire Virgil out. If there's anyone that Virgil looks forward to having a beer with, it's probably Max, set aside the whole relationship is platonic—only a tad bit disappointing to Virgil. Virgil likes Max for his attitude, his activeness, and his passion for the art he helps make, especially the way he looks at his job: just one huge action flick. It's refreshing and it's why he usually prefers being friends with the crew rather than his costars.

From a professional view point, Virgil respects Max for the great work he does and understands that slip ups happen every now and then—he would know. As well, sometimes a stuntman does have to step in for him, especially when things get a little dangerous and the director can't necessarily risk Virgil's lack of coordination. There have been numerous times where he's broken a limb or two because he was particularly careless about a stunt he was doing. It postponed the film for a good amount of time, which earned him some very nasty glares and sneers and complaints for the rest of production. So, if there's anyone that he'd love to have step in for him, it would definitely be Max. What more, Max actually has done some stunt work for a film Virgil starred in, so he can certainly attest to Max's talents and reliability.

---

Harris Klein:

"He reminds me of The Grapes of Wrath for some reason. Great classic, poignant, awesome theme; I wish I could have read the book without falling asleep."

To Virgil, Harris is no doubt a man who should probably retire soon. That's not to say that he doesn't have extreme respect for him and probably owes a lot of his own passion and talent to some of Klein's greater works, but there's just something bitter about him continuing to try and revert Hollywood back to the old ways. Of course, Virgil can't help but be awed by his presence, something that feels as if it demands the attention it deserves. From a personally angle, Virgil admires and draws inspiration from Klein, but from a professional view, he feels that it's longtime a great such as Klein hangs it up for good and find solace in fleeing the corrupt and bogged down entertainment industry. There's just something futile about how he hangs on so hard and it turns the sour man bitter, in Virgil's eyes.

Setting aside his opinion on Klein still working so hard against the times, Virgil appreciates the vast knowledge he brings to the set and does his best to at least impress him once. If he can do that, then he'd be happy even if the movie flopped. Of course, when not on camera, there's a visible strain in the relationship between the two, due to Virgil's attitude and less than calm demeanor. Not only that, but it's hard for Virgil to get certain directions down and remember things he's been told, which often cause a lot of misinterpretations and misunderstandings which probably grate on the crew and most likely Klein. If there is one aspect that Virgil keeps consistent, it's his acting.

---

Jake Wilson:

"Pretty Boy Rick Steves. That's hilarious. No, that's... that's pretty hilarious. At least we have that in common. Cute guy, cute guy."

Due to Jake's elusiveness from the rest of the crew, only due to his job, Virgil doesn't quite know him well, outside of his connection with Phoebe. They've done a few productions together where Jake scouted out locations for the films, of which were top notch. They had one instance where they met, to which Jake couldn't quite believe Virgil hadn't stepped foot outside the country and that he could maybe remedy that in the next production they're both on together. Of course, it's been awhile since Jake made the offer and Virgil all but forgot about it. But, he does appreciate Jake's input on sights to see and places to go when scouting out locations, in particular, he scouted out a quiet, rural park during the winter when they filmed Catcher in the Rye. He spent over five hours each night night just sitting out there for every take they had to do. He could remember exactly the state of the trees around him, the snow crunching under his boots, and the chill of the air that stung his nose. He could recount the times he remained silent when a costar was looking for him and the times he spent staring up at the sky—no light pollution to fade out the stars. Sadly, Virgil hadn't the chance to thank Jake for finding such a place with that kind of atmosphere.

There's an inkling of attraction purely because he's nice to look at, but nothing that Virgil would quite take a chance on.

---

Phoebe J. Collins:

"Phoebe? Goldilocks? She calls me 'Dandy Beau Brummell', which is a bit redundant, but funny, and I really wish I had a funny quip for her that wasn't just a generic 'you're blonde'. There's no one I more enjoy working with, though—blaring music and wasting time on set."

He and Phoebe met on the set of the romantic comedy he filmed, of which he won an Oscar for. He profusely thanked her that night, repeating so much that they actually played the 'You're taking too damn long' outro so loud he was forced off stage. Her high energy and need to do something that wasn't standing still was simply bonding material for Virgil. Not only could he match her pace, but he could surpass it. There's absolutely no professional aspect of their relationship, though they respect each other for how well they perform their jobs. He vows to one day make her a part of a crew of a Broadway production, just so she can understand just how hectic and crazy it can get from both ends. As well, there's only one person he can safely say would crank up the volume on the radio and go crazy with him onset (as long as Amy or Klein aren't around and she isn't nearing a deadline, that is).

---

Leo PNB Xavier:

"Makes nice clothes, uh, creative. Has terrible parents."

There's not much Virgil can directly say about Leo, other than he makes amazing costumes, but that's really it. He doesn't necessarily interact with him, though he respects his passion just as much as his own. Other than that, he's probably done a production with his sister, though he can't quite remember unless told the title, and knows they both have a bit of a past. It's done and over with, so he can't really pity them, especially since they seem to have grown well enough past that.

---

Amy Ho:

"Steel Bladder. That's what I call her. I mean, she drinks enough coffee for ten of me; where does all that go? I personally can't drink coffee without needing to use the bathroom two seconds later."

There's no one who probably hates him more for his need to move around than Amy Ho. Not only that, but his direction taking skills aren't quite up to par with her professional standards. When he jumps on set, she immediately grabs her coffee, downs it, and promptly orders a half a dozen more. He's a stressmonger in a bottle waiting to explode on the nearest crew member, and Amy knows it. But, she can't necessarily say much, aside from the numerous amounts of yelling and exasperated huffs because when it finally clicks, Virgil more than makes up for his onset habits and lack of an attention span. He remains a pain in the ass, though, and he kind of understands if Amy gets this feeling of dread every time she has to work a scene with him. He's not the most pleasant worker on set, but at least he gets his job done.

Off set, however, and in rare moments where he's actually quiet, he and Amy can get along fairly well. Once the tension wears off and he's more tired than he is annoying, Virgil becomes a nice friend to take a few shots with and unwind to take in the environment. He's probably among the people who can understand Amy's appreciation for the world around her that she no doubt projects through her photography, and that hopefully raises him from annoying pest to 'he's alright', in her book.

---

Peter Zolner:

"He's pretty much a Siberian Winter. Albeit, an adorably tiny guy; reminds me of an always frowning Samoyed or a Siberian hedgehog, which don't exist. He just needs a hug."

The enigma of cinematography, though people probably don't share his sentiment. Peter and Virgil have worked on about two projects together, where they costarred side-by-side (one of which was a Broadway musical). When the camera starts rolling, Peter transforms completely until it's impossible to remember who he really was, but when the scene is over and the director has enough takes, he reverts back to his slumped over, quiet self before. Of course, despite being awed by the transition at first, Virgil, after working with him for extended periods of time, can tell it's a lot more than just acting to Peter—a tragic figure, as he likes to put it. All this raw talent and yet no one, aside from his fans, who appreciates it. But, there's really nothing Virgil knows beyond what he assumes and what he's seen from Peter; the two never really got to talking and it was almost as if the guy was put off by Virgil's incessant hyperactivity. From afar, though, Peter is a very interesting individual to watch, from his habits to the way he interacts with people.

There is one thing that struck a positive note in all the humdrum and melancholia that hung above Peter: his daughter. The girl is a bundle of sunshine in the most cliche way possible and it's infectious, even to a solemn guy like Peter. The only time Virgil has every seen the man smile is when his daughter is with him and when he does, it's extremely refreshing and just as infectious as his daughter's delightful demeanor. Now, if only he could just hear the guy laugh, maybe shake lose a little bit. Nothing a beer, or fifty, could remedy.

He did kind of laugh when Peter attempted to grow some facial hair for a part they did, to which Peter blushed profusely and shut himself in to completely shave his face. Virgil still apologizes incessantly for the mishap.

---

Max Goldstein:

"Just a big question mark. I don't know how to feel about him."

Virgil hasn't had many producers who like to make friends over money, so Max is a confusing individual to him. Of course, that's not to say Virgil doesn't like him, he's just a tad more wary around him. It does help that this Max looks totally different from the other Max, which makes it easy to tell the difference between the two, especially when Virgil has made a habit of calling the producer Goldstein, instead of Max. Other than that, Virgil does his best to avoid the man every turn of the way just so he doesn't get caught in anything, should his suspicions be true and Goldstein does have some kind of motive behind making 'friends'.

---

Addison Matthews:

"Hair care products!"

Doesn't even know her, but he certainly wants to. If here's anyone who loves their hair as much or more than Virgil does, then that's just more of a reason to want to know them. Of course, he's not gotten the chance to know her just yet, Virgil loves getting to know people, meeting people, kind of anything to do with people. So, she honestly better get ready to get accosted and assaulted by a man more hyperactive than a kid.

---

Leila Fox:

"Alternative, ultra-modern, odd. I dunno. I'm just throwing out adjectives that I think are correct. Don't know her well and haven't seen her much; there's only so much you can grasp from a photo."

Again, someone he doesn't quite know, aside from the fact that she models and is in some photos. But, again, there's not a lot one can grasp from a photo aside from what the photography may be selling or something like that. She is new to acting and hopefully aspires to pursue it further than just one movie, so that Virgil can certainly get behind. But, she's quiet and seems more reserved than anything, which is off-putting in the sense that he often feels as if he tries to hard to change those people into outgoing extroverts. He doesn't like pushing those kind of people past their comfort zones because they remind him a lot of his hometown, just an observation bubble outside of the society allegedly surrounding it. People of her demeanor and attitude are often reminders to slow down a little, but he can't help but feel a small itch to completely accost her like he usually does.

---

Nicholas Lyons:

"I just wanna touch his beard and dig my fingers in it. It's an endless pit of manly, isn't it? Just this gaping hole of Chuck Norris."

Nicholas doesn't necessarily jab at him with jokes as much as he does Peter, but he understands he doesn't quite mean the things he says. Virgil is quite of fan of Nicks, especially of his father's, but he tries not to mention either around him. He doesn't necessarily meld well with his relaxed nature, but that doesn't deter Virgil from making friendly, if not to joke around with him, as well. Their relationship is more of a professional one, if anything, having not really worked together aside from the current film, but Virgil's a determined individual and likes making friends. Aside from that, he has a lot of respect for Nicholas, even with his sarcastic attitude.

He has a slight infatuation with Nick's facial hair that he makes known about 100% of the time he sees him. On numerous occasions, he's made funny quips about how he'd like to grow that much facial hair one day.

---

Ella Lindgren

"She hates me. I wreck her shit. I find it amusing, and apparently so does Amy. Who knew. I pay for it all, by the way. I do, but that doesn't seem to help, heh."

What more is there to say? Virgil has a problem with his feet and she has a problem with how he has a problem with his feet, but only because he has a problem with his feet on top of her equipment. It's not like he doesn't apologize profusely, or that he does it on purpose, or that he doesn't pay for it and then some. It's just something about wrecking someone's property that gets to people and Virgil understands that, even if he can't help but smile whenever she screams at him. Not only that, but his lack of an attention span and forgetfulness often leaves her waiting. Woops? He often catches Amy snickering behind her coffee cup, which doesn't help his situation when he starts cracking up in the middle of her screaming rants. She doesn't like him, but that's not his problem.

[Tenebrous Gaze]

Leo PNB Xavier

Name: Leo P N B Xavier

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Position: Costume designer; he is responsible for every costume, both strange and mundane, that is worn by the actors in the movie. He has to organise and plan the outfits and design and produce them, or instruct an assistant on how to make them, when they have to be made from scratch. He also has to work closely with the other people in charge of the aesthetics of the film.

Appearance: While Leo is 28, he looks a lot younger and is close to 5ft, counting the mild but noticeable hunch in his back, as well as being fairly thin. He has extremely pale skin, which ends up sunburnt if he forgets to cover up. He also has jet black hair cut short and worn with a side-swept fringe, as well as a small ring on each earlobe and deep green eyes. His clothing varies wildly, tending to go towards current fashions, as well as normally wearing a noticeable amount of jewelry. He has a lot of scars on his upper body, from both injury and surgery, due to his reckless tendencies.

Personality: Leo, at a glance, is jovial and friendly towards anyone he doesn't actively dislike, as well as immensely passionate about his job. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all facets of clothing and uses this passionately to fulfil his responsibilities as a costume designer. He considers his job to be an important part of his life and takes pride in the costuming of films he works on. Outside of work he is more chaotic, unpredictable and spontaneous in his actions, which sometimes leads him into trouble. While he doesn't really care what other people think of him, he tends to stick up to anyone he feels in unfairly treated or in a situation he feels is unjust.

History: Leo was born, with a twin sister named Simha, in London. His parents regularly changed between quasi-spiritual belief systems, imposing an unstable and chaotic influence on the two. From a young age, their parents pressed the two children into acting, commercials and small parts producing money, both children only getting minor parts but managing to amass a notable amount of money. The parents managed to cheat the protection laws and take most of their children's earnings before quickly sinking it into new-age fads and investment scams.

By the time Leo and Simha were teenagers and old enough to understand what had happened, their parents had already taken the vast majority of the money. The two of them seized the rest of the money and moved out as soon as they were legally old enough, cutting all connections to their parents after successfully suing them. While his sister continued acting and made enough money to support the both of them, Leo quit acting in order to get treatment for physical deformities which had occurred due to a developmental disorder and never returned. When his sister got a part in a major Hollywood film, they both moved to America.

Although he had stopped acting, Leo still wanted to be part of film-making. No longer held back by parents stealing his money and pushing him into acting, he started to seriously follow his dreams and design costumes. He started off using his sister's contracts to get small jobs as other people's assistant making costumes for various films and gradually worked his way up, training and becoming better known in the industry until he finally got the chance to become costume designer for large films.

Miscellaneous: Leo had kyphosis due to a developmental disorder as a teenager which was treated but still left him with a noticeable hunch. He was born on August 20th, meaning that his star sign is indeed Leo. His middle names are Peridot Neptune Blaze but he attempts to keep this secret, being deeply embarrassed by them.

Addison Matthews

---

Gender
Female

Age
22

Position
Production Assistant

Appearance
Addison is quite tall standing at 5’10” and she’s always been told that her long legs are a subject of jealousy. This combined with her good looks has aided her in supporting her through college as she worked as a model on the side. Something Addison prides herself with is her hair which she looks after almost religiously, it has helped her land many ad campaigns for shampoo.

---

---

Personality
Ambitious to the core Addison always has her eye on the price and will do almost anything to reach her goal. At school she had a few close friends who really knew her and the rest usually stayed away because sometimes she could come off as a bitch, but only because she knew that she had to distance herself to be the best. It’s not that she actually is mean-spirited, but in the business they all were trying to make it in you’ll have to have tough skin and better to learn sooner rather than later, and Addison is not one to be stepped on.

Even though she can seem abrasive sometimes she is ultimately kind at heart and she always means well. You will have to take her sarcastic comments with a grain of salt… or maybe a pinch… or two. Perfection is something she strives for and if it can’t be perfect it has to be damn well near perfect! She likes to be organized, when she used to model she had all her castings mapped out and color coded in her calendar so she never would be late. This has stuck with her and her whole life is in that small book. Some call it controlling Addison would call it a virtue.

This job has taught her to control her patience, even though Addison speaks her mind most of the time, she knows when to shut up and just do as she’s told. Even when she is being told to pick up someone’s dry-cleaning whilst on a coffee run and walking the casting director’s dogs. She does her job with a bright smile and a witty comment.

History
Addison’s childhood could be seen as turbulent seeing as her mother Molly died when Addison was just 4 years old. But she has chosen to focus on the very few clear memories she has of her mother like her perfume or the way her smile always could cheer her up. Her father Liam was heartbroken for a long time after the death of his wife so he was not always the stellar dad a little girl wishes for but at least he was present and tried as hard as he could to get their life together. Her father being a high school professor got a job at a prestigious school so they moved and started a new life there.

Addison liked their new life and adjusted well to her father’s new girlfriend who he eventually got, her brother Nathan did not fare as well and started to distance himself from them more and more as they grew up. He being older than she was when their father was depressed probably had something to do with the distaste her brother had for Liam. As soon as her brother turned 18 he was gone and now she’s lucky if he sees him at Christmas or gets a card for her birthday. Addison has always been very charismatic and deep down she has always known she would end up in the entertainment business somehow.

She started out being cast in small time modelling gigs for catalogs and smaller ads, but soon enough she got cast in better jobs and she really got in to it. But the longer she stayed in that industry the more she realized that this was not what she wanted to do with her life, she wanted to make movies. So when she graduated from high school she set her sights for film school where she studied film production. She worked hard to get to the top of her classes and finally graduated this year with good comments from her professors.

But the film industry is a hard mistress to seduce and, who would hire a newly graduated producer so she took the opportunity she received in the chance to work as a PA on this promising movie. Even though she has little to nothing to do with the production of the movie she realizes that everybody has to start somewhere and to be this close to the real deal is invaluable to Addison.

You somehow got your hands on a small calendar, either you're snooping around the office or you found it on the refreshment table either way you take a peek and find it belongs to the young production assistant and in it you read some of her journal entries.

Luke Clemens:
“17th of March 2014
Today was the first day I was at the studio and I got to introduce myself to everyone, though I doubt that anyone remembered my name because the rest of the day I was being called honey, sweetie or just plain YO! Except for our director the famed Luke Clemens actor turned director.

Oh yes I did fan-girl when I first met him, internally of course! Who wouldn’t? Don’t you dare judge me! It’s not like I had a poster of him in my dorm room or anything, but I did do one of my final analyses on one of his movies. And having to watch him take his shirt of over and over again worked for me…. Shut up!”

Maximillian Harrison:
“4th of April 2014
Who would have thought that this job entailed this much manual labor?! Today we filmed the action chase scene and there was a lot of falls from high up and in different places and guess who has the job to move around the big landing mats? I mean at first it wasn’t that bad but we work 12 hour days!

And the only stunt man who helped me lug around the big ass mat was Maximillian! The only one! Maybe he felt bad seeing me huff and puff all day. I’ve read somewhere that he apparently is the clumsiest stunt man there is in Hollywood and that he is some sort of disgrace to the craft… I don’t know they all look pretty clumsy to me, it is their job after all.”

Harris Klein:
“23rd of March 2014
Ugh I mean I guess I get that he is/was a big deal and all but if I need to stand by and hear him drunkenly chatter about how the film industry was so much better in the seventies, I swear to god I’ll choke myself with my headset! I don’t like where his hands travel either!”

Jake Wilson:
“21st of March 2014
So when I got in to work today there was this basket on my desk and the first thing I though was “Oh crap! Did I forget to send one out?!” but apparently it was meant for me, it was sent by the location manager Jake Wilson. It contained some hair care products… does he know about my obsession? But also a list of things that my boss likes to have around, who knew he was this considerate.

It’s weird working with people you’ve been a fan of for years. I mean I’ve followed Jake on YouTube since he began and now I’m working with him, well I get his coffee and other things… for now.”

Phoebe J. Collins:
”12th of April 2014
Wow, we do have some crazy props on this movie all of which I spent cataloging today. To think that Phoebe and her team hand makes a lot of them is even crazier! I don’t think she knows who I am quite yet though… since I had to introduce myself to her for the 4th time today.”

Leo PNB Xavier:
“31st of March 2014
The set was sponsored by a new catering company hoping to score a deal with the studio today, which was awesome because we got to take a longer lunch than usual! I sat down with Leo the costume designer for lunch, and we had a blast! He reminds me of the fashion people I used to work with and that’s about the only thing I miss about that industry, the people. He said he could sneak me a dress from “the closet” and who am I to say no… I’m dirt poor after all.”

Amy Ho:

“24th of March 2014
How many coffee runs have I made today? 5… count them 5! The people at Starbucks know me by name by now, which probably will help me in the future. 4½ of these runs where requested by Amy the script supervisor. Man she drinks coffee like there is no tomorrow. She seems very stressed which is why I think she needs the coffee otherwise I think she’ll combust into herself.”

Vyacheslav Piotr Zolnerowich-Wahlstein:
“16th of March 2014
I met with my other boss today… well almost everyone on set is my boss but I do have 2 who I answer directly to Max and Piotr or as he said to call him “Peter” for convenience sake. Anyway he was doing this interview and this reporter woman was horrid and was really trying to squeeze some juicy story out of him. I just tried to make him more comfortable and kept bringing him tea which he seemed thankful for.

But the worst was when I brought him his second cup this bitch of a reporter caught my eye and apparently she recognized me or something because she started to ask him questions about me! Like how what he would do if I made a move to climb my way up! All I could do was stand there and stare at this woman and be like “Hello! I’m right here!” of course I didn’t say anything but I did go up to Mr. Zolner after to assure him I would never do anything like that and I hope he doesn’t think less of me.”

Max Goldstein:
“15th of March 2014
So today finally I got a job that has something to do with the thing I went to school for! It felt really good to say F-you to the restaurant and walk away from being a hostess forever… hopefully. Anyway I’m digressing; at about 7am I got a call from Max Goldstein who had read one of my 100 resumes I had sent out and he thought I had potential… So he hired me! Well I’m just a PA but that’s how he got started he said so my hopes are high! He seems like someone I can learn so much from!”

Leila Fox:

”19th of March 2014
I got the opportunity to sit in on castings today which was awesome and also a really grueling process so many girls came and went. I mean I’m used to be on the other side of the table, the one having to perform… well as much as a model had to perform i.e. walk back and forth. But anyway a lot of girls came in and when they went out the door again the casting directors just shook their head.

Until a tall fire head walked in and whispered her name it was Leila Fox! A model I used to work with back in the day, it took every fiber of my being not to wave like a big idiot. I don’t know if she saw me or even recognized me but I was very happy to see her. After she was done and left the room you could see it on their faces… they had found her! I can’t wait to work with Leila again.”

Ella Lindgren

”29th of March 2014
Today I spent the day helping with the lighting for today’s shoot which took soooooo long because Ella the director of photography never seemed to be satisfied with how the shot looked. She’s very meticulous which I respect since I’m exactly the same, I think she made one of the other PA’s cry when she ruined a shot somehow.

I like her though, she’s fun but that might be because I haven’t angered her yet. I hope I’m not on lighting duty again though I have second degree burns all over my hands!”

Phoebe

Name:

Phoebe J. Collins.

Gender:

Female.

Age:

27 years old.

Position:

Property Master, responsible for purchasing, acquiring and/or manufacturing any props needed for a production, therefore instructs and manages the prop designers and works in collaboration with set and costume designers.

Appearance:

Phoebe is a short woman, no taller than five foot five, but keeps herself lean and fit with daily jogs and sprinting around set. She has long blonde hair, naturally curly, which she usually ties up when at work. Paranoia about her dental care has resulted in a straight set of teeth, which she flashes often when she smiles. Freckles dance across her nose, cheeks and shoulders. Her wardrobe is always fairly simple: jeans or combat trousers, running shoes, tee shirts, hooded sweatshirts and a headset.

Personality:

At work she's a very hands-on prop master. She likes to take an active role in the creation of props, rather than simply managing them, and frequently collaborates with many of the other crew members. She adores her job, as it satisfies many of her childhood fantasies. She's quite playful, physical and easy-going, which sometimes leads to cutting it quick with deadlines, and people to view her as entirely too youthful. It can be amusing for anyone watching to see Phoebe sprint from one end of the set to the other with an armful of prop swords and only 60 sections to shooting time. She makes a lot of friends while she's working and usually brings back her favourites to work with her on other projects.

Phoebe struggles when taking criticism, and relies on social approval to keep her bounciness intact, so she avoids boisterous actors and directors unless she absolutely must share space with them. Fully aware that many people don't appreciate her attitude, she forces herself to tone it down when those sorts of people are around. Again, for their approval. She's also terrible at keeping secrets, which has led to on-set drama in the past. She's prone to daydreaming and can be very forgetful, and when she's on a deadline she gets impatient and even more fidgety.

History:

With a very busy set of parents and a slew of disinterested babysitters, England-born Phoebe was sat in front of the television for a vast majority of her childhood. When she wasn't wasn't TV shows or movies, she was re-enacting her favourites with sticks for swords and a bath towel as a cape, or a banana for a handgun and a crayon doodle for an FBI badge. As soon as she was old enough to go by herself, she went to the cinema every week. She became an expert at sneaking into theatres to watch movies over her age certificate. Her pocket money disappeared into the cash registers of costume and prop stores.

In school she focused heavily on media and film making, discovering an entirely new aspect of films that she loved just as much as watching them; the production. She left school after her exams and went straight to work on television sets as a prop maker. It was her dream job, and though she started right at the bottom, working under master designers as a paid intern, she loved every moment of it. She worked on action sets, murder mysteries, fantasies, science fiction and the regular drama. Slowly but surely she worked her way up. Eventually, after years of work, she became the prop master of a highly revered British television series and took on interns of her own. After the series ended with top reviews, Phoebe set her sights on America.

With multiple television series and a few films under her belt, she packed up and moved to Hollywood. Immediately overjoyed to be working with the best, Phoebe fell right into place on set; she quickly made new friends and connections everywhere possible. She worked on three films, one still in post-production, before signing up to work on [RP Movie].

Miscellaneous:

• Nicknames include Pheebs, PB&J, Collins, etc.


• Middle name is Joanne.


• She still has her English accent, though sometimes she slips into American.

Relationships

Relationships and Character Connections:

Maximillian Harrison - Ezekial Wolffe

As a stunt man, Max will often have to work with props, which means he's crossed paths with Phoebe more than once in his career. Of course, Max dwarfs Phoebe, so she was never quite sure if he noticed who was handing up props before each take. Still, his optimism and cheerful outlook on life and work never failed to make her smile. She thoroughly enjoys having Max on set. Now if she could just work up the courage to introduce herself properly, she might find a friend in him.

Harris Klein – Polyphemus

The first time Phoebe met Harris Klein she felt extremely small. Here was this big, experienced actor, well known for his keen eye, attitude and alcoholism, facing off against her tiny self. At the time, she was still just a prop designer. The way in which Klein could pick out the slightest error in continuity had Phoebe's nerves doing a number on her heart. She was twice as meticulous in her design and planning during that project, which may have helped her gain the promotion. Over time, though, she recognised his desire to make the best film possible, and so she grew less wary of him.

Jake Wilson – World Traveller

For the majority of their experiences working together, Phoebe and Jake got along brilliantly. She found a kindred spirit in his dedication to his work and adored his passion for travel. Then the colonial South America incident occurred. Stressed to her wit's end and furious that her work would be criticised by someone whose opinion on the subject wasn't required, she flew head-first into an argument with him. She may have spouted such insults as “Pretty Boy Rick Steves”, and instantly regretted it. Pride maintained her solidarity until the next morning, when the pair reconciled. She hasn't spoken to or worked with him since that project a year or so ago, not out of spite, but simply because the two are always busy.

Leo P N B Xavier - Tenebrous Gaze

Costume designers and prop masters so commonly collaborate that a meeting between Leo and Phoebe was inevitable. As Jake worked in tandem with Leo so often as well, the three of them found themselves on film sets together a few times. All three being immensely passionate about their jobs, they were fast friends. It helped that Leo was a friendly guy unafraid of a few jokes, and born in England, too. She made an effort to try and discover his middle names, but could never get close. Phoebe genuinely loved working together with Leo and Jake, and would be overjoyed to work with them once more.

Max Goldstein – tanderbolt

Another cheerful man easy to befriend. As such, Phoebe instantly likened to Max Goldstein when they worked together once before. She admired that he was able to command a room without being an arse about it. He was easy to talk to, as well, and that meant they could share wonderful conversations about prop design and continuity and she wouldn't get weird looks for being enthusiastic about it. Phoebe prefers businessmen like Goldstein over the rest.

Addison Matthews – spooner

Phoebe has never worked with Addison before, nor is she aware who exactly Addison Matthews is. Sure, she's heard the name... and promptly forgotten. But, ever the one to make friends with as many people on set as possible, Phoebe will happily approach Addison and introduce herself. That is, if she doesn't remember how often she's already interacted with Addison and run away in shame.

Amy Ho – Fabricant451

Amy's thorough way of going about her job makes Phoebe stand up straight even when she isn't around for inspection. While she admires Amy's deep involvement with almost everything to do with making a film, Phoebe feels the need to impress and succeed far more with people like Amy Ho and Harris Klein than anyone else. When they're around, Phoebe does her best work and can get quite easily stressed. However, the reward is always worth it and she has people like Amy Ho to thank for it. Therefore she respects Amy and strives to help her make the best film possible.

Luke Clemens – Mizuho

Like so many others, Phoebe is well aware of Luke's history in the spotlight. Still, they've never worked together. She usually doesn't invest in the headlining stories of Hollywood, but she's heard Luke's name brought up in conversation a lot more recently, and finds herself intrigued at his comeback. As long as he lets her do her thing, she doesn't much care that he's a bit young for a director.

Peter Zolner – Sixsmith

Phoebe has worked on maybe one or two projects with Peter's name on it. Beyond that, there isn't much connecting the two besides a screen. Sure, she's seen his films and TV shows. The man's an award-winning actor, of course she knows his work. But Phoebe isn't a fan of acting as much as she's a fan of the production staff. Their working relationship goes like this: Peter does his job and does it well, and Phoebe does hers and does it well, which means they've never needed to interact much at all. If they did, it was through production assistants. Of course, she makes herself known on set just by being the energetic woman she is, so it's not surprising that Peter knows who she is as much as she knows him.

Leila Fox - Mizuho

There's something oddly calming about Leila. Where fast-talking Phoebe is always in a hurry, Leila's quiet, collected and observant. They met when Leila was an extra, and being in Leila's presence forced Phoebe to slow down and take a breath, and that always felt kind of... weird. But nice, too. She hasn't had many long conversations with the model turned actress, yet there's an energy there too, and something about her when she's feeling passionate and acting that has Phoebe intrigued. She decided she likes this girl, and would love to be friends... if only she didn't think Leila preferred to be alone.

Brett Arlington - Fabricant451

Another person who dwarfs Phoebe. Soon, she'll get an inferiority complex. Phoebe doesn't pay attention to tabloids and magazines, but if she did, she'd have a few words to say about the way they regard Brett. It would likely go down something like this: "Are they saying she isn't beautiful? Can't they just leave people alone? Virgil-- where are you? Aha! Virgil, hold my glue gun! I'll show them." What with Phoebe's own struggle to keep to deadlines and her forgetfulness, she hasn't really noticed Brett's tardiness. She likes that Brett is nice to the crew, and thinks doing her own minor stunts is cool.

Virgil Siegfried Holst - Sixsmith

There wasn't a redder face in the world than Phoebe's during Virgil's Oscar speech. She doesn't believe she contributed to his success at all, and will turn a dark shade of red and vehemently deny everything if it's brought up. Her agent called the following day with numerous offers from big shot production companies. Though she was glad for the work, she made sure to punch Virgil in the arm for embarrassing her. Still, she adores him. He matches her well and considers her outside of her role as prop master. She would say he's one of her best friends, for there's no one she more enjoys spending time with, and also one of the biggest reasons she forgets deadlines. She's defensive of him around people who might misinterpret his character. Phoebe knows exactly the funny quip he needs, but will never tell him. That way, she feels like she can one-up him for being so much bigger than her.

Ella Lindgren - Konica

Though she's not as intimidating as Amy or Harris, and definitely not in the same way, Ella still manages to make Phoebe stand up straight and shut her mouth. She's heard rumors about the occasional outburst and the times Ella's walked out on people who can't keep up with her. But because Ella doesn't have the same looming scariness about her as some of the others, Phoebe sometimes completely forgets she's even on set. This leads to her being her usual, spirited self, until she spots Ella and freezes. Phoebe doesn't think Ella approves of her, nor would she ever want to be friends, but Phoebe will treat her with respect and kindliness until she's told to get lost. She'd be devastated if she knew that Ella didn't regard her as mature enough.

Nicholas Lyons - Sheffield

Oh, Nicholas is nice to be around. They haven't spoken much, beyond the odd interaction just long enough to get Phoebe to remember who he is. She's equal parts perplexed and comforted by how incredibly normal he is. Sometimes she misses that. Don't get her wrong, she loves her job and loves where she lives, but Nicholas serves as a reminder that the rest of the world isn't like Hollywood.

[Konica]

Ughhh, really not in the mood to write, but I figure better to post sooner rather than later.

Name: Ella Lindgren
Gender: F
Age: 29

Position: Director of Photography. In essence she is responsible for the "look" of the film, how it turns out visually. Largely her time is spent managing the camera crew, lighting, equipment, and technical aspects of filming. She also likes to overlook some aspects of editing like color grading and special effects.


(pic just a reference, couldn't find satisfactory pic)
Appearance: She’s a bit of a tomboy, almost never wearing skirts or dresses. Kinda short and a little thin, she has a bit of a inferiority complex. Her hair is short and messy, so she just hides it under a hat. Wearing glasses bothers her so she just keeps a pair in her pocket only pulling it out when she needs to. Posture and elegance are things that she doesn’t have, although not entirely her fault.

Personality: Ella is hardly if ever satisfied with her work. There’s always something she finds off about her images, one reason why she’d never make a book; she’d be way too picky about what to put in it. She’s also way too stubborn and easily tempered. If someone keeps her waiting or is difficult to work with, she’d have no problem walking out on them regardless of who they are. She also tends to lash out at anyone when she’s upset. Although, she has been getting better with her temper especially recently. If you stay on her good side she can be jovial and fun to be around. Ella can be a bit of party animal, for better or for worse. After a few drinks she tends to get frisky and a little too friendly.

History: When she was young Ella her parents would take her to the family cabin every winter. Every year a deer would show up, and come unusually close to the cabin. The first time it came, Ella was afraid of it. A strange creature appearing in the night, who wouldn't be? The next year she saw it again, this time Ella's fear was overshadowed by curiosity. She watched it majestically strut about in the fluffy white snow, showered my moonlight, it was a sight she'd never forget. Another year passed, this time she bought a disposable camera to get a picture of the deer.

Years passed, and her interest in photography grew over time. Shortly after graduating she enrolled in an art school. During her short time there she made a lot of connections and became friends with a lot of students. She also squabbled with many of the teachers. Before she could graduate Ella got into a disagreement with her parents, which eventually led to them basically disowning her. Fortunately she was more or less self sufficient at this point, working as a photographer for a small newspaper. However she did drop out partially due to financial reasons and partially because she felt there was nothing left for her to learn there.

Working her way up the ranks, Ella eventually found herself overseas covering wars. Crawling through the mud alongside soldiers, the experience was terrifying but she couldn’t imagine going back home to her dull life. Eventually she would be forced to after getting injured by a landmine. The incident put a limp in her step, preventing her from returning to the front.

The sudden return home put her in a state of depression for some time. When she was over there amidst the gunfire she felt like she was doing something, making a difference. But back in the states, it was like no one cared. For a short time she made a living as a paparazzi and doing work for adult websites, basically whatever was easy and paid. It took a chance encounter with an old college friend to pull her out of her slump. Her buddy got her a job working on movies which was more fulfilling than what she was doing.

Miscellaneous:
Trying to quit smoking
Walks with a slight limp

Relationship Sheet:

Luke Clemens: Don't see why everyone likes him so much. Just another pretty-boy. I hate it when fans fawn over him like he's something special. Goddamit, it really pisses me off. Therapist tells me I envy him subconsciously, as if. Why would I want to be a boyscout?

Leila Anne Fox: Seems like a good girl, easy on the eyes, talented too. She's good at what she does, and doesn't complain all the time like other actors. Wouldn't mind working with her more often.

Maximillian Harrison: Nice guy, I guess. Kind of an airhead, always too cheery/annoying. Sometimes I wonder what planet he comes from. He should see some of the shit I've been through...

Harris Klein: Just an old drunk who doesn't know when to retire. He needs to take a long walk off a short cliff.

Jake Wilson: Does his job and doesn't get in my way. Smart guy too, I'm sure he's been around the block before. Not really my type but I'm sure we'd get along.

Phoebe J. Collins: A little childish I'd say. She gets annoying sometimes, but I don't mind. I like having her on set, makes things less dreary.

Leo P N B Xavier: He doesn't bother me, which is more than I can say for some people. As long as he doesn't ruin the scene with some gaudy outfit design we won't have any problems.

Amy Ho: A bit too nosy if you ask me. Always bothering me with schedules and whatnot, bugging me when I'm trying to think. Jeez, why can't she just let me work in peace?

Vyacheslav Piotr Zolnerowich-Wahlstein: That name a quite a mouthful. I don't really see much of him, he tends to stay out of my way. If only more people were like that...

Max Goldstein: Friendly guy, and surprisingly not a control freak. He doesn't piss me off nearly as much as other business men, which is quite a feat. As long as he doesn't tell me what to do we won't have a problem.

Addison Matthews: Ugh, models. Not always the brightest bunch. But Addy seems alright. She brings me coffee and does what I tell her, what more can I ask for?

Charlie Wayne Esgar

Name:Charlie Wayne Esgar
Gender:Male
Age:29
Position:Actor
Appearance:
He stands at 5'11" and weighs roughly 185 lbs. He isn't a twig but he is skinny and lanky which adds to his comedic factor. His smile is wide and caring with a strong chin to compliment it. Shaggy hair that is always combed back and occasionally spiked up. He wears a 5 O'clock shadow and a large nose. Usually he wears whatever is comfortable, this tends to mean jeans, an old pair of sneakers, a T-shirt and zip-up hoodie. Occasionally he can be found wearing a baseball cap.
Personality: Immature, Clever, Witty, Goofy, Annoying. These are all words that people use to describe Charlie. He has a certain stance that is passive and caring. This usually leads to him being a doormat and punching bag for any angry person in his vicinity. He prefers to just take the abuse, he considers himself quite the pacifist. Very open to change he is nobody to put his foot down, though his status he considers himself an everyman. Very giving, if you need a few dollars for something or have no money for lunch consider him your guy. If your stapler runs out of staples just let him know and he will pick up enough staples for the whole studio the next time he goes shopping.

He likes to wear this character people seem to like, he talks in an over-confident voice. Acts like he is smarter than the average-joe he is and pretends he knows better. This is more of a defense mechanism than anything, it's to deter any attacks on his self-esteem. He is a very fragile person when it comes to repetitive attacks on him. The cocky-showboat character only appears on occasion when he's in the mood to get a few laughs. Not a stranger to drugs he has done his fair share but feels they are only a once in a blue-moon thing. He is the worst at comebacks when the person actually means the insult and is overly-passive.

---

History:Born in a not-so small town in Ohio, Charlie had a middle class upbringing. His father worked in a mill and his mother was a teacher, nothing seemed to stick out about Charlie or his upbringing. The only difference between his family and every other family in his county was the over-generosity of his parents. His father loved to give gifts and his mother loved doing work in the community. They would always put aside a large amount of money each year for a christmas party, everybody of every backround was invited and fed. Charlie's grandparents had started this tradition of giving and it carried through the family. Charlie learned a smile is the best thing you can give someone. The happiness in the air during those parties was great, never a dull or sad moment. However Charlie's family was still middle-class, and he received one and only one small gift each christmas. "To give is better than to receive" was a common thing said in the Esgar household.

Charlie dedicated himself from an early age to giving joy and by high-school he had a system developed. He would listen to and watch as many comedians as he could and filter the bad jokes and tell them directly to his friends. He would indulge himself in the world of comedy, and by doing this he soon became a class-clown. He was more a rip-off artist than anything but he was still getting laughs. Then in high-school he experienced his first real heartbreak. He had been turned down times a many before and every year a girl said no to him. This girl was different, she meant more than anything to him and she ended up using him. He was planning his future with her and assumed it would last more than the four years it did. The false hope she had created had almost put Charlie into a ecstasy of joy.The heartbreak sent him into a depressive spiral, he slept most of his time off and kept anything funny he thought of, in his head. Suddenly the school seemed to forget about him, he slipped back into the crowd and disappeared.

Though he loved the spotlight his low-self esteem attacked him constantly. He himself realized he had nothing funny to say that someone hadn't said before. He had spent his life in a shadow, and finally in college the pain was too much. His parents death hammered the final nail in his coffin. He was going to commit suicide. He wrote a note to his parents saying he was sorry and how he deserved nothing short of death. After googling how to tie a noose he bought a rope and followed the instructions. He tied the rope to the ceiling fan of his dumpy apartment and put George Carlin on the TV, this was how he wanted it to end. However when he kicked the chair out from under him Carlin said the punchline. He couldn't help but let out a laugh as he gagged and choked, a bliss hit him. It was the floor of his apartment. The ceiling fan had broke and laughing and coughing on the floor with a ceiling fan on his back he gained back hope.

His crave for the spotlight had drove him all the way from his community college in Ohio to Los Angeles. Knowing well that he had a very slim chance of making it.
