Bobby is a glasses wearing, slightly lumbering dude in his 40s, with longish grey hair and a lumberjack beard. He's a former boxer and film podcaster. Bobby is a man looking for a release. The revolver that he finds and becomes transfixed by is a means to exercise this desire. Bobby is a broken man, broken by grief and uncertainty, but there was a time when he was actually happy. When his wife, Sioux, was alive and he was a boxer fighting hard at his craft. Back then, Bobby's three main loves were Sioux, boxing, and film. Bobby has always loved movies. There's a very real correlation between sports and cinema. A lot of that comes down to the abundant amount of movies that athletes consume throughout their training process. In any case, Bobby loves film so much, he's a self- proclaimed cinephile. Alas, Sioux's suicide has beaten down Bobby into the shell of a man that he is now. A boxer burnout, stoner, side gigging as a loan-shark's enforcer. Talking movies on his podcast is actually the only genuine thing that he does that holds any sort of endearing merit. And while podcasting his thoughts on cinema brings out the gift-for-gab in Bobby, he's very stoic and silent off mic. Everything about Bobby is pent up rage that he only periodically gets to unleash when he's working as “the muscle”. Nonetheless, he need's to let it all out. The rage that has consumed him since Sioux's suicide, with no explanation as to why she did it. No indicators that she was ever in a bad place mentally before she pulled the trigger. Bobby needs to explode physically and mentally. Physically, the revolver becomes a tool for Bobby's discharge. But internally speaking, Bobby needs to talk about the loss in his life, and the pain that comes from that. On that note, Arlene, and the relationship that Bobby develops with her, is pivotal to Bobby's own emotional arc. Arlene is an outlet for Bobby to finally speak his mind and talk about his trauma. And the waking nightmare that his grief has turned his life into. Bobby's wardrobe consists of a leather jacket, white T-shirt undershirt, blue denim jeans, and a black tank. His shoes are comfortable, because when he's working as the muscle, he's spends a lot of time on his feet.

Arlene is a punkish tall, slim brunette woman in her late 30s or early 40s. One side of her head is buzzed while the other side maintains her long flowing dark hair. (Please indicate if you are willing to do this if you don't already have this "look") While Arlene works as a waitress at the local diner, she also maintains a side job. Arlene is a professional listener to those that desperately need someone to talk to. When Arlene was hopelessly out of work, feeling alone and worthless, beaten down by depression, that's when it dawned on her. The fact that everyone needs someone to talk to. Someone to listen to them vent their burdens without apposing cliched commentary as pushback. So Arlene took action and created a job for herself as this type of underground shrink, minus the advice giving. She then posted an ad on Craigslist, offering her services, stating the rules, and eventually clients came around. Initially, Arlene was acquainted with Bobby through his frequent late night visits to the diner. On her break one night, as she was listening to music on her phone, Bobby introduced her to his podcast, “Money Under the Sink”, which Arlene genuinely took a liking to. This form of selfexpression fuels Arlene's romantic interest in Bobby. With all of the listening that Arlene does, what she really needs, is someone to reciprocate the gesture. Her relationship with Bobby ultimately gives her this satisfaction in the end, boiling down to Bobby finally saying “..You talk, I'll listen.” These are the words that Arlene so desperately wants to hear. Arlene definitely has a punk style to her, but it's never overdone. Her style isn't a uniform. She typically wears a tank-top, black jeans, and a jacket.

Vale is Bobby's boss. He's a tall slim guy in his 30s, with slicked back greaser hair. When Vale was just starting out, he bullshitted his way into a high end bartending job, and for a while, he worked hard at it. His natural spitfire cockiness was definitely a perfect fit for the gig. As Vale honed his craft mixing drinks and charming customers, he built his pockets up, and eventually, he organically became that guy at work, spotting bills to his fellow co-workers, or comping customers, only to later be paid back (with interest). As time went on, Vale was known as the 'favours' guy. In fact, he was getting so much work on that front alone, that he ultimately decided to leave the bartending gig all together, and go into business for himself. While Vale is definitely slick, his assured attitude is a mask to cover up his own insecurities. Forced to leave home at a young enough age, by verbally abusive parents on the brink of divorce, Vale came into his own very quickly, graduating with a 4.0 in 'street smarts'. At one point even, Vale dabbled in a bit of acting (soft core trash). That's where he leaned his mantra “trust the process.” Also the genesis of his nose candy addiction. Actually, Vale probably could have went far in the film industry, but there was too much downtime involved, and a lot of it was very isolating. So while Vale's time gigging in the film industry was short lived, at the very least, and like Bobby, Vale can definitely appreciate the quality of a great fucking film. So after the bartending gig ran its course, Vale had to build up his credit and status back on the street. Part of that process was bringing on a more physical component to his money lending scheme. Hence, hiring Bobby as the muscle. Vale typically dresses sharp, wearing a leather jacket with a button down nice shirt underneath. Black jeans and slick shoes

Sioux, a woman in her mid to late 30s, is Bobby's deceased wife. She now haunts Bobby's mind in the present. She's a visual reflection of the grief that he can't let go of, but her presence can also be interpreted as being that of a ghost. Judging by Bobby's memories of Sioux, it would seem that their relationship (while she was alive), was nothing but pure bliss. But there's a much more compelling dynamic to explore with Sioux's character. One could make the case, that from Bobby's perspective, it seemed as if everything was exceptional with Sioux, but the reality was that her mental state was truly in a bad place. This makes for a much more layered performance with Sioux. Particularly in specific flashback scenes designed to show Bobby and Sioux's mutual love for each other. Subsequently, the question has to be asked, was Sioux actually happy in those scenes with Bobby, or was Bobby simply remembering her that way? Maybe Sioux was hiding her true feelings in those moments. Maybe, upon second viewing of those scenes, Sioux's melancholia is way more evident. The answer isn't black or white, but somewhere in between. Sioux was definitely supportive of Bobby when he was focused on his boxing career in the beginning, and their relationship together was loving. But somewhere, deep down on the inside, something went wrong with Sioux. And post suicide, what's left of Sioux (as we see her now), is this aggressive nightmare fuelled version of herself. This unstoppable force that is fighting to not be suppressed by Bobby, and consume total control over him. Sioux's wardrobe consists of a T-shirt, jeans, and a bomber jacket. The ghost version of Sioux dresses more edgy, sporting a thrift style dress.

Peter is a self-confessed fraudster who used to run a fake company, scamming people out of their identities by making them think they were recruited for employment. Eventually his scam was exposed, and now he's a broken man in his early to mid 50s, who's recently been left by his wife. Peter started out as legit banker but he never possessed the authenticity or empathy that was required to truly excel in the position, and that's probably why he never advanced much in the industry itself. At home, Peter wasn't very sociable either and his marriage to his wife, Tracey, was never really in the right place. Peter constantly felt a complete lack of control over the circumstances around him. Both at his job and in his personal life. However, Peter also lacked the ability to feel anxiety as well, which is what made him such a successful fraudster for a period of time. While Peter talks a sympathetic game, lamenting over the loss of his marriage, the true animal inside of him doesn't actually long for any sort of emotional reconciliation with his wife, it's purely physical. And that's tied to his current emasculated sense of being and a desire to reestablish his power. Like how he felt at the height of his fraud scheme firing on all cylinders and bringing in the funds. While his marriage to Tracey might have never actually stood a chance, Peter certainly felt a sense of dominance when his bank account balance was consistently on the rise. Peter's wardrobe reflects his external mask of unassumingness. He dresses nice but not sharp. He typically wears a very plain button down shirt, with a beater undershirt underneath, and suit pants. He sports a plain coat when he's outside and on the move.
