Description:
A group of 30 somethings gather at a comic book convention. Amongst the cosplay, nachos, and churros, hilarity ensues.
Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shar | Female | African American | 32-37 | Marcus' best friend since forever. With the best Marvel comics collection in the city of Chicago. She's seemingly unlucky in love, and oddly so as she's beautiful, down to Earth, and an amazing artist. She would love to find a woman to spend the rest of her life with. But she's perfectly fine spending her nights with random women, and her days as the always loved but usually unwanted squeaky third wheel attached to Marcus and Will. |
| Marcus | Male | African American | 32-37 | Growing up in the hood made him smart, loving, and caring with a good sensible head on his shoulders. Though he also gets wild with the best of them, and at any moment will eagerly show just how apt he is in that area. He's a teacher who loves plying children with knowledge more than he actually loves children. The only thing that rivals his intense love for all things video games is how smitten he is with Will, his boyfriend of two years. He's the calm to Will's crazy. |
| JAIME | Male | Hispanic | 32-37 | **Afro Latino (Dominican or Puerto Rican with African Ancestry)** Very relaxed and levelheaded. Though in love with and attracted to, Gabby, he is often her voice of reason.. Or the voice that talks a bit lounder than hers to get them both out of dire situations. He works construction but doesn't carry himself in the typical way one would think a man in his field would. He's a huge pop culture nerd who's eyes light up with excitement anytime he's discussing a series he loves, a movie he's watched, or a game he's playing. |
| GABBY | Female | Hispanic | 32-37 | Tomboy mentality, but a girlie girl aesthetic all the way. She's got a mouth like a sailor with good Catholic girl values passed down to her by her parents. She's been with her boyfriend Jaime since they were teenagers and it shows. Always down to have a good time and will not bite her tongue is she is not. As much as she hates the labor and financial burden of it, she's also a bit obsessed with cos-playing. |
| MARG | Female | Asian | 32-37 | **Filipino** Wild, unapologetic, and the down friend you never knew you needed. Fast talker, shit starter, and a heart of gold carrier. Spent the majority of her upbringing shrugging off anti black prejudices in her own home, while living in a predominantly Black hood. She's loud with her disdain for bigotry and combats it with wit, and fists if need be. A serial monogamist kinda lesbian, who adores all indie comics, especially The Wicked + The Divine. |
| Saad | Male | Asian | 31-39 | “You ain’t never had friend like me?” Those 7 words describe Saad to a T. He’s the loyal best friend to Will, but not the happy go lucky sidekick type. Will put any one in their place at any given time, so it’s best not to try him. He’s been in a relationship with Malik for what seems like forever. They co own G-Mart comics. His mission in life: Enjoy it. No matter what. |
