Character breakdown / Project needs
Carter
[GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 23-28] Carter avoids confronting his personal hardships of losing his family, and lover by investing everything he has into the only family he has left, Cal. He believes his life’s purpose is to look after his brother, and is willing to sacrifice anything to assure they stay together. He would take their separation as a personal failure.
Cal
[GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 27-32] Cal doesn’t care much that their parents left. They didn’t treat him or Carter well, and that’s something he thinks Carter often forgets. He wishes they had it better but he doesn’t know what better would look like. His life revolves around Carter. He loves the heists he and Carter do. It makes him feel capable, which is rare. Yet, there is still a missing piece in his heart that he fills with booze and cigarettes.
Sarah
[GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 25-30] Sarah has known Carter since they were children. She knows what they’re doing is wrong however, she is very empathetic. Her heart aches that Carter lost his wife, and that he has had to grow up quickly without any structure or guidance from others. She is loyal to the two brothers as she’s seen the good that they possess.
Mr. Lewis
[GENDER: MALE [AGE: 40-60] Is the pharmacy manager. He is polite, well-mannered, and professional.
