Lights, Camera, Action!

Righto, I've made some progress on the sheet.

I'll likely touch-up what I've already written when I complete the biography and relationships later today. I would have done it now, though it's rapidly nearing 2am and my brain is nearing shut-down!

Lights, Camera, Action!

Placeholder for the character I plan to play. Nicholas Lyons, the Line Producer (AKA, the liason for the studio sponsoring the film, as well as managing the Human Resources aspects)

He'll be an Actor instead, seeing as we seem to be lacking some actors

Name

Position
Actor

Appearance

Nicholas has never been particularly fussed about how he looks, though this is not to say he dresses raggedly. In fact, the reality is very much the opposite. Money isn't much of a concern for Nicholas, and that is instantly clear through his clothing, as he is often seen wearing high-quality suits and clearly expensive watches. Yet despite the quality of clothing, he doesn't put much thought into what he wears. He likes to look what he would classify as 'smart', which is usually a shirt and regular suit-pants.

His hair is rather rugged, with the morning routine usually being to simply run a hand of gel through his hair and hope for the best. His beard is also roughly trimmed, being somewhere in-between stubble and a short beard.

Personality

Nicholas is very much one of those people you either love, or near-violently hate. He adopts a cynical, if not slightly comedic outlook on life, often heard making sarcastic and witty observations throughout the day. He enjoys satire and poking fun, though some would call it provoking, at the rest of the crew. Most who know him generally understand that his cynical comments or observations are not deliberate attempts to insult, albeit merely a means to get a few laughs. Though of course, there are some who would rather he simply shut up.

He is noticeably down-to-earth, something relatively odd for a hollywood celebrity. There is never an aura of importance, or stardom, surrounding him despite the high-end clothing he wears. While Nicholas is very much involved in the lifestyle surrounding hollywood (Parties, photo-shoots, papparazi..) there is never anybody who feels intimidated or on-edge whilst beside him. He is...abnormaly normal for somebody of such a status within hollywood.

Accompanying his humour, he has an extremely lax attitude toward life in general. If you give him some time and a task, he'll do everything he can but the specific task given to him. It's not as though he wants to be obstructive, and he will always complete the task to a generally high-standard after some time. He simply refuses to stress himself out, and while his laid-back attitude can provide a well-needed break from the chaos of a movie set to some, to others he is simply a distraction that won't go away.

However, on the whole he does have a seemingly natural charm, be it his larger-than-life grin, or witty comments that can't help but put a smile on your face. He has a confident demeanour, albeit he has never been one to focus on himself, he's always found the stories of others to be far more interesting. He is a socialite at his core and thrives on social interaction, never being one to shy away from conversation with those around him.

Biography

Nicholas has never known hardship, being born in Vancouver, Canada in 1983 and his family can be traced back to France, which is unsurprising given his surname. His father, Alexander Lyons, is something of an on-screen legend, starring in many of the black-and-white features iconic of the 20th Century. There is no doubt that it was his fathers fame and success that inspired him to follow a career in film, and his father had always geared him toward a career in the entertainment industry. His earliest memories are being toured around various movie-sets on the shoulders of his father, and he can remember being fascinated with the surreality of it all. The various scenes being shot, the actors caravans, the cafeteria..He fell in love with all of it.

He did not attend public or private school, his parents instead opting for a private-tuition in order to protect their son from the somewhat ferocious media, and the many 'fake friends' he would likely encounter at a school. He achieved highly academically, much like his older siblings who had the same private-tuition as him. Yet whilst his siblings went on to complete higher education, Nicholas opted out, instead applying to attend the Vancouver Film School. His passion for film had not outgrown him, and he knew from the moment he joined the Film School that he had made the correct choice. Specifically, he took a one-year course rather blunty called the 'Acting for Film & Television Program'. The course focused on the essentials of what was required to make it in the industry, albeit he knew he would require more development before he would be able to have a chance in the brutal industry of entertainment, Likely through his surname alone, he was accepted into the 'Italia Conti Academy'. He wasn't quite sure what drew him to that specific academy, albeit he had always had a slight curiosity into Itallian Culture, and seeing as the academy was certainly respectable, he decided to simply 'give it a go', which are the exact words he used to convince his father of the move.

He fell in love the with the country, it's landscapes and it's people. In fact, after attending the academy for only two of the expected four years, he simply spent the other two travelling Italy. Though he can never explain specific memories of his time in Italy, whenever questioned about his love for the country, his response is generally 'everything', no matter the question. To this day, he owns an Itallian Villa which he uses as a retreat of sorts, should he ever desire a break from the 24/7 lifestlye of celebrity.

Returning to Vancouver, Nicholas got himself his first major film role at the age of 23. The film was called 'HIVE'. The film was a remake of the original novel called 'H.I.V.E' (Standing for Higher Insititute of Villainous Education). He was cast as the secondary protagonist, and the film was a relative success. It spiralled into a trilogy, roughly following the original novels. Nicholas appeared in two out of the three films, playing arguable the second-largest part until his character was killed toward the ending of the second film. The series found success amongst younger audiences, and won Nicholas several awards, with his career continuing on naturally after the two films. To name a few of the films he has starred in;

- Out there, a psychological-thriller sci-fi revolving around human nature and our journey to the stars. It took inspiration from 2001: A Space Odysey. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for this film, and the film itself was a nominee for Best Picture.
- Home, a family drama based on an original novel.
- Fantastic Voyage, a modern remake of the 1966 sci-fi classic. Directed by Paul Greengrass.

He has since appeared alongside the 'big names' in Hollywood, and has been very active in the industry. His career has been scandal-free thus far, and he somehow manages to deflect attention from the press away from him, though he is more than happy to appear on chat-shows, which he enjoys thoroughly. Nicholas has come across well in the public eye, and has yet to star in any major flop though he knows his time will come sooner or later. He has only recently returned from the set of another movie soon to release, before joining the current production.

Relationships

Luke Clemens

"He seems like a nice kid. Kid. I dunno' where he learned the art of directing a film, maybe that's what he was doing when he dropped out of the public eye entirely. I think I've seen one or two of the films he's been in, granted I can't really remember anything about them which isn't a particularly promising sign. I know he's a teenage hearthrob of some sort, don't really know much about him aside from that. At least if this film utterly fails we can just stick him in shirtless somewhere and get his teenage fans to come and see it, so that's a plus."

Maximillian Harrison

"He reminds me of superman, or some sort of action man...but slightly dumber. I mean, he's confident at least, but I don't really want to get within a hundred yards of him if he's handling anything, and I mean anything, that could hurt somebody. I'll take my chances doing as many stuns myself as I can. That said, he's a nice enough guy. I'm not sure how well he takes my jibs about being closer to death than anybody else when I stand next to him, but hey, it makes me laugh."

Harris Klein

"This guy probably worked with my dad, or at least was watching the films my dad was in when they came out. He's kinda' like the veteran of the set, old-guard. He always looks slightly grumpy, and it's fun to watch the ultimate smackdown between him and Amy. Is it bad that I try to get the two as close to each other as I possibly can? I don't know how I'd pass the hours without a good argument to watch."

Jake Wilson

"I like the guy, and he damn-well knows his stuff. I don't really have much to say about him, but I swear I've seen him on some YouTube videos. I'll have to look into that. Oh, that reminds me, I'm sure he gave that young PA gifts of some sort, and I don't think he did that for anybody else. Or, at least, he didn't do it for me. I mean, best of luck to the guy, and I can see why he wants to try his luck with her, she's good-looking."

Phoebe J. Collins

"She's the one that's always sprinting around the set, yeah? Yeah, she's good fun, and seeing her sprint around with a whole set of props flying all over the place is bloody hillarious. The production wouldn't quite be as lively without her, and I'm glad she's here. Not particularly spoken to her all that much myself but she seems to share the idea of taking life as it is and simply taking it easy, which is a welcome sight given how stressful some of the other people on this set are."

Leo PNB Xavier

"Don't really know him at all. He's a costume designer, so he's bound to be wacky, they all are. Actually, he kinda' reminds me of a vampire, allergic to the sunlight with like, properly black hair. I bet he goes all glittery in the sun, or is that only what happens on Twilight?"

Amy Ho

"I love watching her argue with Harris. The funniest part is, from what I've observed, they always seem to be agreeing with each other while screaming the socks of off each other. She's the script supervisor, if I recall correctly, and she certainly fits the role. I try to keep out of her way, but there's one thing I know about her, she is literally a coffee monster. Why Guiness World Records haven't showed up to interview her I don't know, but I'm thinking of entering her in on her behalf, it's not like she'd lose.

She reminds me of a headmistress of sorts, as I like to take things slow, and she bloody well doesnt. I've found myself hiding from her on more than one occasion.

Vyacheslav Piotr Zolnerowich-Wahlstein

"Can he speak, or is he mute? I honestly don't know. He's a nice enough guy, but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy poking fun at him. I mean, it's just harmless banter. He just seems so down all of the time, he needs to lighten up. I think he's one of those guys, who if pushed, will go absolutely ape-shit. Yeah, he's definitely one of those guys, and that's why I just cant help but give him a little push every now and then, just for a bit of fun. The quiet ones always tend to be the craziest.

That said, he's an absolute wizard when it comes to acting, there's no denying that. I remember reading about his divorce, the hacks were all over it. A shame really, and I think that divorce is a perfect example of why I'd rather stay out of the whole lovey-duvy business."

Max Goldstein

"He's friendly. Almost too friendly for a businessman. I mean, I'm sure he has the best intentions at heart, but whenever I see a businessman trying to be friendly, it just makes me uneasy. I'm not sure if he likes me at all anymore, though. When we first met, I remember making some joke along the lines of, 'If only that money could buy you friends.'

Maybe he's forgotten about it. I bloody hope he has, and it was a harmless joke after all."

Addison Matthews

"She's cool, and she has a good sense of humour. She, unlike some others on the team, appears to appreciate and understand sarcasm, which is a big plus. The few times I have come across her she's been good to chat with, and I'm sure I'll see her around. I actually feel a degree of sympathy for her. I can't imagine what it must be like if you're assigned to Amy. Come to think of it, that must be why I saw her holding coffee all day.

Ella Lindgren

I actually quite like her, and I've thankfully not had the 'pleasure' of getting in her bad-books. I saw her chewing out some poor sod who clearly had recieved such a pleasure, and so I made sure to keep any comments to myself when I spoke to her. I get the feeling she wouldn't appreciate my humour, which is fine, I guess. I will admit that I do love watching the poor sods in her bad-books being put down by her, it's just fun to watch. Like Amy and Klein. Actually, watching her 'disagree' with somebody is comparible to a traffic-jam. It's good fun to watch the traffic-jam, so long as you aren't in it.

Leila Fox

"I guess I have a bit of a soft-spot for her. I've never heard of her, though since we're going to be working together I did a quick google-search. She's relatively new to the industry, so I guess that's why I have a bit of a soft-spot. I've spoken to her a few times, though it was a pretty one-sided conversation and there's only so much I can talk about. But hey, I can understand, it's pretty surreal and nerve-racking on your first 'big' film. That's probably why she seems so shy, but by the end of this film, she'll be talking non-stop, I guarantee it.

I watched some of clips of her acting as well, and she's talented for sure. I'll just have to try and make her feel a bit more at ease around here.

Eᴄʜᴏᴇs Oғ Tʜᴇ Pᴀsᴛ

The character is Sheriff Stillinski, I think. I just found him whilst looking through images on google, albeit with a quick google search I found this page.

Alrighty, after recieving the go-ahead from Wolf, I've written up the base of my CS for the Sheriff. I've yet to fill out the relationships, albeit that will be done by the end of the day.

Biography
Born in Ashenport, die in Ashenport

The Hale family have been in Ashenport for as long as anybody can remember and they've more often than not held the position of sheriff, or a deputy of the sheriff. Specifically, Edwins father was also the Sheriff of Ashenport and it was undoubtedly his father that inspired Edwin to persue a career in law.

His childhood was as eventful as one might expect from a town like Ashenport. As a child, there was nothing he wanted more than to leave Ashenport, which is surprising given his current inability to leave it. Edwin was extremely bored for the majority of his childhood, having done everything there was to do in the town, and as a result he would often find himself in the bad books of his father after wandering too far into the woods, or annoying the caretaker by playing around on the hill. Though when he was around six, he had moved on to annoying the rest of the residents by pretending to be a 'secret agent', and pointing his hands in the shape of a gun toward the residents before pretending to arrest them. While they initially made the mistake of playing along which only encouraged him to do it more, they soon grew tired of his antics and simply ignored him. Recognising Edwins boredom, his father spent a few days teaching him how to fish, and Edwin spent the rest of his childhood either in various different academic pursuits, or sitting on one of the piers fishing. He can still be occasionally seen fishing in the present day.

Turning 18, Edwin initially left Ashenport in order to attend a more well-known University and obtain a degree in law. Amazingly, he was accepted into the Harvard Law School, one of the most prestigious law schools in the world. That said, he had always achieved highly academically, especially for somebody from a small town such as Ashenport, and his academic achievement was no different in university. Infact, Edwin could have likely applied to law enforcement at federal level had he opted to persue that path, and whilst he certainly considered such an option, there was always something about Ashenport that pulled him back. Unlike other residents that would leave in a heartbeat if given the chance, Edwin has always found a small charm to Ashenport, despite the fact he cannot quite put a finger on what that charm actually is. Whether it's the towns removal from most of society, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere or the view out into the ocean, something will always tie Edwin to Ashenport.

Edwin returned to the town with his law degree, having already applied to the Ashenport Sherrifs Dept. whilst still out of town. At the age of 24, Edwin was accepted and began work as a deputy, alongside the then-sheriff of Ashenport, his father. It would be a lie to say that Ashenport is an exciting place, infact, it's probably the exact opposite. There is very little in the way of crime, and the job mainly consisted of attending any particular social events across the town, or simply patrolling the town on-foot and speaking with the residents. Hardly anything like what you would see on shows such as Cops. It was during his time as a deputy that he met Myles Reeves, who would become one of his closest friends.

His career continued rather uneventfully, and after a few years, his aging father stepped down. Naturally, he inherited the position from his father when he was 28, and he has held the position ever since. Edwin has attempted to make the job even more 'public' than it already is, and he is seen daily by most residents. He has always wanted to enforce the idea of being a 'member of the community' much like any other resident of Ashenport, and will generally make conversation with anybody he comes across.

Nightmare

Edwin has never quite identified who his nigtmare is, albeit he is able to make out the distinct Sheriffs uniform on the person. The badge is bloodied, the jacket stained with mud and ripped. The figure walks slowly toward him, and whilst it never seems 'hostile', it's very presence is distressing. Edwin has only ever been able to compare the way it walk to that of a zombie, with it's legs appearing disjointed and broken, dragging one foot across the ground. The same goes for the arms, with one arm bent almost completely the wrong way, and the other disjointed in various places.

I've added a lil' bit to the BoD Agent for District 16, though I will still refine it a bit more soon.

I intend for him to be a pompous fellow, looking to bring down a major crime syndicate in order to not only inflate his ego, albeit also ensure a promotion for him within the bureau, and ultimately get more credits in his pocket.

Incursions

Agent Edwin Thread
Bureau Of Defense Agent; District 16



Age:
29

Personal Details:
Born in District 0, Edwin was geared towards a life of politics for the entirety of his youth, with his parents being two prominent politicians. He excelled in his academic pursuits, and was well respected amongst many social cliques. Yet instead of continuing down the path expected, he chose to enroll with the BoD and being somewhat over-qualified for the job, he was fast-tracked through the Bureau .

Edwin was fascinated by the way of life beyond Districts 1-9, constantly hearing of the rival gangs and lawless streets, though at the same time he thoroughly enjoyed his life of luxury within District 1, which me moved to upon his joining of the BoD. The Bureau Of Defense provided a means to enjoy both lives, and he has adopted a 'pick and choose' attitude towards his work. Whilst he is the official BoD Officer for District 16, he is rarely seen there and often only visits when he gets bored of the current happenings in District 1.

He carries an air of superiority with him when visiting District 16, and speaks down to those around him. It's obvious he cares little for the people living within the District and generally only visits in order to 'show off' and boss the local police around. Yet he is by no means poor at his job, he can simply rarely be bothered to do it. He has come to realize that it's an impossible task to lower the crime rates in District 16, and as such he has a lackluster approach to his duties, instead choosing to simply assert himself as top dog amongst the local police, enjoying the 'superiority' he has amongst the local authorities. It is of course the case that he is less than popular amongst both the local police, and citizens of District 16.

Recently, however, Edwin has been searching for a means to glorify himself. He is well aware that eradicating the crime in his district is impossible, though the idea of becoming a 'legend' within the bureau is something that appeals greatly to his ever-growing ego. Much to the annoyance of the local authorities, he has been gradually spending more time at District 16 upon his visits, eager to learn what he can of the major gangs in the area, in the hopes that he may bring a major organized crime syndicate to it's heels. Taking down a major crime syndicate would ensure his glorification in history and would more than likely get him a promotion within the Bureau, and he is determined to feed his ever-growing ego by doing so.
