|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kyle Parsons | Male | Any | 18-24 | Fit, muscular, agile, youthful aspiring fighter - Kyle is a young man who faces a communication barrier with his father, Owen. He processes silently in his head which leads him to some ill decision making. He follows his father's footsteps as a professional boxer, but with a twist. He fights in illegal underground rings. Kyle doesn't fit among the noise of the underground world, but he fights for money to help his father. |
| Owen Parsons | Male | Any | 35-50 | Stalky, burley, buff ex-boxer - Owen lost his wife years ago to a fatal illness. He regrets his obsessive involvement with his boxing career as it robbed him of his finals days with his wife. Owen has developed a critical lung condition that needs immediate medical treatment, but he spends his days focused on chastising himself by doing charitable handy work for poor people in his community. He keeps his sorrows close to his chest and doesn't want Kyle to know about the extent of his condition. |
| Paul Machado | Male | Any | 35-45 | Paul arranges Kyle's fights and runs the underground fighting ring. He is a scruffy business type who has a spark of charm.

| Zai | Male | Any | 35-50 | Zai is from a higher tier of illegal fights. He is sharp and well established in criminal affairs. He's a large, professional businessman who looks like he could knock anyone's teeth out in the ring. |
