Roles
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadOWENMale 20 - 30 Years old
Description
Any ethnicity. A concept artist with a "freestyle" soul. He’s a die-hard hip-hop fan who approaches a blank sheet of paper the same way he approaches life: with raw passion and zero planning. Owen moves on instinct, which results in a style that is undeniably unique. Yet, for all his creative fire, his inability to find a sense of order makes it nearly impossible for him to see his projects through to the finish line.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadDAVE 40 - 50 Years old
Description
The Art Director of the video game studio. He sees a mirror of his younger self in Owen. However, as the person responsible for the game’s bottom line, Dave can no longer afford to shield Owen from his own lack of discipline. He is a man caught between the artist he used to be and the executive he had to become.

A.S.T.R.A. is an artificial intelligence embedded in Owen’s brain. It does not directly control him, but subtly influences his decisions by regulating hormonal responses. Designed to execute every directive with maximum efficiency, A.S.T.R.A. will do whatever is necessary to complete its task.
