Storyline
Wiza’s With Hoods, follows Virgil Wanders, an eager young wizard living in the lower-class neighborhoods of Southside Camelot. After Virgil’s friend Opal, is cursed in a fly by casting, he must gather his coven on his journey to avenge him. We meet the other members of the Coven; Caste Spells, the leader, Dumbie Dorms, is second in command, and two other lackeys, Ice Pot and Killa Fables. Now, Virgil must defeat the killer, Prophet, to avenge his friend. All while grappling with the idea that violence might not be the right choice.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Virgil Wanders | Male 18 - 24 Years old |
Description Eager to prove himself and gain the respect of his community, Virgil Wanders is a young wizard living in Southside Camelot. He has faced adversity his whole life. Whether it’s from the upper Elven class, which suppresses the wizard community, or even the toxic coven culture of the wizard community itself. Virgil must reflect upon the violence around him as he is being consumed by it on his own path for vengeance. Avenging the death of his friend Opal in a fly by casting. Think early season Franklin Saint from Snowfall, combined with Harry Potter. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Caste Spells | Male 20 - 25 Years old |
Description Mature and hardened by the real wiza lifestyle. He has been forced to adapt a curse casting and wand wielding lifestyle as a leader of the Wands Coven. Throughout the story he resembles the sides of wizard culture Virgil could succumb to. Think Mitch from Paid in Full, combined with Ice Cube from Boyz N The Hood. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Dumbie Dorms | Male 20 - 25 Years old |
Description Immature and borderline psychotic. A perfect representation of the negative effects of sipping too much potion and being locked up at a young age. A satirical representation of real world effects from juvenile detention centers taking hold of black youth within the United States. Dumbie represents a twisted side of wizard culture and a path Virgil could follow if he doesn’t overcome the oppression of his community. Think O-Dog from Menace II Society, combined with Serious Black from Prisoner of Azkaban. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Ice Pot | Female 18 - 24 Years old |
Description A true yw or young wiza. Unable to afford the tuition at Camelot University, they had nowhere else to turn than to take his spell casting skills to the covens in his community. Sympathetic to their best friend Killa who can’t cast spells, Ice Pot is a wizard with a good heart who must act hard to survive the nature of his lifestyle. Think Ice Cube from Straight Outta Compton, combined with Ice Cube from Friday, or Cleo from Set it Off 1996. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Prophet | Male 20 - 25 Years old |
Description The antagonist to our story and the deadliest wiza with a hood. The one who killed Opal and who Virgil must face at the end of this journey. The Prophet has been corrupted the worst by the oppression the wizard community faces. Prophet originally fought for a noble cause. But from the rage he felt towards other beings in this world that took advantage of Wizard communities, he eventually became consumed by prejudice. Now on a path to wipe out any weakness or non-wizard beings in Southside Camelot, Prophet has lost all nobility in his cause. Think of the song Story of O.J. by Jay Z, combined with Frank Lucas from American Gangster. | ||
