Role description

Japheth, 38, also an aspiring actor, and despite his age, claims to have turned down Tom Cruise’s role in Risky Business due to a concern of the lust he would inspire by sliding around wood floors in socks and underwear. He’s studied the scene meticulously since and indeed all of Cruise’s work and is happy to provide detailed analysis on anything Cruise-related with minimal prompting. Japheth is a multi-tasking machine, much like his best friend Rebekah. His passions and projects include divination and nephology (applying meaning to the study of cloud formations), singing and songwriting, modeling (for a sexy Jesus calendar, coffee-cup and greeting card line), and of course, co-hosting the Trinity radio show on JWYD. Mission: To host a successful radio show without compromising his integrityor self-worth. Fatal Flaw: Needs to accept his authentic self and sexuality by redefining his perceived faults as assets. Then he can unleash the super-human dormant inside.

Role description

Former agnostic, current pansexual, future radio co-host of Trinity. Ronald,37, is a natural athlete and brings the brawn and some half-baked ideas to the friendship/coworker Trinity trio. What he lacks in comprehension of Christianity, he makes up for in team spirit and a singing voice that would make the Seraphim take notice. When Ronald starts working at JWYD radio station, he’s unwittingly swindled into funnelling donations and becomes the fall-guy for the charming Carrington, a chameleon with romantic and nefarious designs on him. Mission: To bring sweet harmony and new ideas to the Trinity radio show,without embarrassing JWYD, his co-hosts or himself. Fatal Flaw: Imposter Syndrome clings to Ronald but one of his bestattributes is his ability to offer unfiltered, new ideas that are free of bias.

Role description

Non-binary, career chameleon, fashionista, in charge in every way but title, which by the way is secretary. Carrington is the highest paid and arguably most capable employee at JWYD Radio Station. They were the right-hand person to Emma-Lou’s parents and the only one who can make any sense of the business strategy and trajectory – which is currently on a nose-dive. Whip smart, calculating and always three steps ahead, Carrington has literally saved the station numerous times with calls to anonymous donors who inject enough cash to survive another quarter. Mission: To never get anyone coffee. The 80/20 principle, to earn as muchas possible for doing as little as possible. Fatal Flaw: A big, expensive but soft 24 karat gold heart they can’t help but wearing on their sleeve when times get tough.

Role description

Weinus is a weiner. He’s also a lawyer. Just not the pretend one on the billboard across the street from his office, that’s a photo of Micah. That stand-in lawyer was randomly selected by Weinus from photos on a website called LiveJournal. But since ‘Micah’ came to work at Weinus, Weinus andWare, LLC - business has started to boom! More people are tripping, slipping,and falling their way into his office than he can ever recall. Unfortunately, most don’t want to be represented by Weinus. They were hoping for Micah. So Weinus sent him on a long, long, long hiatus. A sabbatical of sorts which has worked out especially well since Micah isn’t actually on payroll. Weinus’ (in the guise of Micah) newest clients are a rag-tag gaggle of radio jockeys needing entertainment law advice. It’s not Weinus’ (or Micah’s) area of practice but they’ve promised to pay and really, what could go wrong? Mission: To keep the charade going as long as he possibly can. Fatal Flaw: Not realizing that he is enough, just him.

Role description

Micah is a model and influencer though he’d be hard-pressed to tell you exactly what that means or what he does but he has a LOT of friends on LiveJournal, thousands and thousands who read his blog and gaze at the self-shot photos he posts with each journal entry. What he doesn’t do is practice law, however good he may look in a three-piece suit on a billboard advertising his legal services. The real Micah has no idea his name, faultless face, pretend degree andpedigree are being used to swindle a trio of callow Christians in Greater Napanee. He’s too busy partying, journaling and taking selfies before there was a word for it in nearby Toronto. Mission: To find someone who truly ‘gets’ him, a soul mate. Fatal Flaw: Mirror, mirror on the wall. PREPARE JAPHETH SIDES
