The only problem… he's been undercover so long he barely knows what's real.
Character breakdowns:
John: Age 23-25, clean cut, athletic build, extremely smart, photographic memory, casual dresser. Owns a successful consulting firm. He has a wife and three kids. He's straight edge, and very charming.
Amy: Age 23-25, Hispanic, very beautiful, stay at home mom. She is John's wife and she is extremely loyal. Her family is everything to her, and she supports her husband very much. She is a very tasteful woman, she is the family backbone. She is terrified that John is going to be killed…or worse.
Jesse: 28-33, medium height and build, wears metal t-shirts and blue jeans. Very outgoing and appears to be friendly. Has a deep love of freedom and an even deeper hatred for the government. He's extremely intelligent; he had a doctorate in law and communications by the age of 22. He's an outdoor type, and loves attention. He lives pretty much off the grid and runs a glass blowing shop out of his house.
Billy: 30-35, thin, has severe social anxiety, PTSD, and constantly pops Xanax. He never bathes or brushes his teeth and smells disgusting. He lives in a shack in the middle of his sixty acre ranch with his seventeen year old cousin/wife. He is a weapons and explosives expert. He is also a bisexual. He's very quiet and barely says a word, when he does, it's barely audible. Once he comes out of his "shell" he will tell lengthy stories of his various projects and victims.
Jay Dee: 25-30, thin with glasses. He's loud and boisterous, a real people pleaser. Though underneath his smile is a sociopathic genius. He hates everyone and is the most evil of the group. He lives in a house surrounded by fences and fields where he collects guns, explosives, chemicals, even slaves, for his "plan". He is the mastermind behind the whole operation.
Aaron: 25-30, Muscular, tall. He is fairly new to the Valley. He is an ex mechanic from California. He lives alone, in an RV park. He is very intelligent and extremely intense. He's a spiffy dresser, always slacks and a button up. Though he will go through a slow decent into insanity as the story progresses. By the end he is just as dirty as Billy, and just as crazy as Jay Dee.
Albert: 23-27, muscular, a very nice gentleman. He is the FBI agent that “enlists” John. He’s kind of a southern good ole boy type. Clean cut, formal, tells bad jokes but to him they are funny.
Shawn: 23-25, wiry, former MMA fighter. Very dry, very matter of fact. Strictly by the book. Shawn takes over as “Lead Agent” and coordinates the investigation. He brings John back from the edge.
