The Struggle Within

Roles



------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character name: Jennifer Sampson
Gender: Female
Age:14-16
Short description: the youngest member of the group she becomes 1 of the seven members of the group that comes together in the movie because of her brother being with the group. While he originally doesn’t want her to be with the group for fear that it will get her into trouble she quickly convinces him that she is already in enough trouble and needs the help of the group.

-----------------------------------------
Character name: Nick
Gender: Male
Age: 17-18
Short description
He is a gay male who has some moments messing around with Jessie while never actually committing to anything as Jessie is only bisexual and there more friends then anything else. There messing around causes issues for both of them as some homophobic jocks find out about his secret. After being beat up a number of times he ends up being murdered by one of the jocks the others do everything they can to cover it up for there friend / team mate. This role is only in the film a few times 1 scene is a nude scene a romantic nude scene with Nick and Jessie together after Jessie shows up at Nicks house soaked from being out in a storm. this scene is controversial simply because it will have 2 males naked and kissing each other the idea of the scene is to really push the story of there closeness this scene falls into the film not to long before nick is killed. The film has a very big anti gay bashing/homophobia message to it. The person playing the role does not have to be gay just willing to play the role. i understand that this role will probably be the hardest role to cast do to not only nudity BUT the fact that its a guy with another guy in a gay role i am looking for someone who is up for the challenge of bringing this character not only to life but to be able to bring such energy to the role that when Nick is killed of the viewers watching the film truly feel sad or angry about what happens i want people to be able to connect with this role while on the other hand i am sure there will be a number of people who hate the character for being gay but those are the fears and reactions we want to be talking about in the film so if we hit that nerve then we are doing something right.

Character name: Jessie
Gender: Male
Age:18-20
Short description: he is the oldest one to become 1 of the seven members of the group that comes together in the movie. He is a ruff and tough seeming individual who appears at first to have no real problems with being bullied or picked on and in fact seems to have the answer to many of the groups problems. Later in the film the group begins to see that even he has his own problems and weak points and that the reason he is the way he is has a lot to do with his past. He is a high school drop out and a bit of a loner. He teaches the group a lot about trusting each other and helping each other. One of his biggest secrets is that he is bisexual. One of his only friends ( Who never becomes a member of the group) who is gay but to afraid to openly admit it is killed by one of the jocks and the other team mates try to cover it up. This really crushes him and it takes the whole group to help get him focused again and to help find a way to expose the truth of what really happened.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Character name: Cassie
Gender: Female
Age: 17-18
Short description: she becomes 1 of the seven members of the group that comes together in the movie. She is probably the head female character of the film and is one hell of a fighter. She grew up with 3 older brothers and a not so loving family she learned from a early age to worry about herself before anything else. Her brothers have all moved out of the house and her mother is always working and never home and her dad died a few years earlier. She is reluctant to take help from the other members of the group but she eventually finds that even she needs some help sometimes. She is the only member of the group that has a car and license of her own so she is the only one that legally drives in the film. She is also bisexual and un willing to admit it to anyone until she finds out what happened to Jessie’s friend and they have a big talking scene as she helps try to make Jessie feel better after what happened.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Character name: Trevor Thompson
Gender: Male
Age: 17-18
Short description: he becomes 1 of the seven members of the group that comes together in the movie. A only child who’s dad is in jail and mother is to busy with men/drugs and booze to care about him is set to fend for himself. He begins to get lost in drugs and drinking until the group fights to help him. He is probably one of the most reluctant to trust the group and become a friend of there’s as he is convinced that he can not trust anyone but himself.
-------------------------
Character name: Peter Sampson
Gender: Male
Age:17-18
Short description: He becomes 1 of the seven members of the group that comes together in the movie. He is a shy kid at the start of the film and it is the group that eventually gets him to open up more. A bit of a nerd he is really good with computers and tech stuff. He gets bullied not just for being nerdy and shy but also because of being skinny and looking to be a easy target. His sister always looked up to him no matter how much he got picked on and eventually asks for his help and reluctantly he eventually lets her hang with the group when she tells him of all the problems she is having. The other members of the group teach him how to stick up for himself and help him learn to defend himself in a fight which eventually helps him when one of the jocks that had been bulling him comes looking to fight him.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character name: Victoria Stern (aka Vikki)
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Short description: she becomes 1 of the seven members of the group that comes together in the movie. She is a used to be cheerleader who left the cheerleading squad when she reported on one of the football players (her ex) for beating her up. The team claims she is a liar and a whore and the other cheerleaders that were once her friends turn there backs on her to side with the team for fears of becoming unpopular like what is happening to her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character name: Patty Lemay
Gender: Female
Age: .17 to 18ish
Short description: She has big problems at home with her abusive step dad. Her mother who is also abused by her husband is to afraid to stand up for her daughter. Her stepbrother rapes her and she is living with the secret which she eventually tells to her new found friends when she becomes 1 of the seven members of the group that comes together in the movie. Her step brother makes her feel like she is Fat and Ugly constantly insulting her and trying to put her down. They help her end the torment that is going on at home when they get involved. The reason i am finding this role will be hard to cast is i want to have 1 or 2 scenes that show her step brother trying to take advantage of her 1 scene would require the character to be getting out of the shower and getting dressed while her step brother is hidden in the room watching her which she catches him and they get into a fight. Her character is raped eventually in the film by her step brother we are not going to show this happen but will try to imply that it is about to happen in the film. We want this character to have a important role in the film for telling the story of a girl who is abused and raped but afraid to talk about it and afraid to tell anyone who could help what happened. and when she finally does come forward about it no one except the group she is with believe her and it comes down to them having to make the abuse stop where the police had done nothing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character name: Melissa Kingston ( AKA Missy)
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Short description: Head cheerleader. Has her eyes on the quarterback of the football team. She did everything to make Vikki look bad after she broke up with John.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character name: Brandon Lemay
Gender: Male
Age: 17-18
Short description He is Patty’s Step Brother. He rapes Patty. He brags about being a tough guy and claims that he can sleep with any girl he wants. POSSIBLE nude scene of him masturbating while watching Patty sleep to be shot either from behind or the side never actually showing that he is masturbating but showing enough in the scene to make it clear what is going on. AS i said this is a possible scene and has not yet been confirmed to be in the film still up in the air on that and i think a big part of it depends on if someone is willing to do the scene or not. This character is one that people should hate right from the start of the film. in the first few scenes he is in you don’t know what is going on with him and his step sister but by the way she looks like she is uncomfortable around him and how he looks at her i want people to have a uncomfortable feeling about him knowing right away that something is just not right

still looking for people to take over all the other roles

 

[Generalfoley]

A bump, mostly to get this thread to notify my email.

 

[TheWarlock]

OK just a side note you can add characters as well as picking from the main list of characters but please PM me with a description of the character you would like to request to play and how you think they would fit in/makes sense with the story so that i can decide if they will be approved to add in or not.

 

[TheWarlock]

Updated the list of characters that are as of right now taken . If you haven't already please make a character profile for your character and post it in that section and lets see if we can get this thing started.

 

[TheWarlock]

Reminder that the ROLE write ups above are as they were written up for looking for actors to play them so there is obviously stuff in them that difines looking for a actor more then RP person. BUT moving on we REALLY need someone to play the character of NICK as scenes that would involve his character are coming up VERY SOON in the RP and i would like to have someone involved who can jump in and play the character whenever he comes up. While he isn't a character that will be in like all the scenes the character is VERY important to the story as when it comes time for his character to be killed off it will be something that effects the entire story very deeply / and i need who ever plays it to be able to make the character be able to be connected with by the viewers/readers so that when he eventually dies there is that emotional reaction feeling bad or angry about his death .I originally didn't plan on him being in many scenes but can change that to add more for him to do prior to death (mid script/RP)
