Hey, this interested me and I’m looking to apply. This is just one character idea and I’d be willing to modify this character or make another to be better suited for this game.

Actor's Name and Short Bio: Endi Gigauri was a nationally acclaimed actor with a voice like silk and vocabulary that swooned even the most stone hearted. At some point in his award winning career, he wished to expand his horizons into different countries. Wishing to share his passion with the world. However, he may have overestimated how worldwide his fame was and overlooked the small fact that most people don’t speak Georgian. After a couple box office flops in movies starring him as the evil Russian guy, despite not being Russian, he’s looking to break out from his typical role as a foreigner villain and play a new character. Hopefully one where he is able to show off his silky voice and dramatic flair.

Character's Name: Adam Chrome

Character's Appearance: A buff cyborg with half his face made of metal, a rad glowing red eye, and a fully mechanical arm. Always looks to be sweaty which just makes the chrome shine even more. Usually seen with his signature glower. (The muscles are mostly padding, the metal part of his face is half a metal bowl wrapped in tinfoil, the red eye a shiny red marble that was found on the floor, the mechanical arm is just his arm wrapped in tinfoil, his glower is because the lights on set are too bright, and he’s sweaty because it’s hot in the studio and the excessive tinfoil makes it worse.)

Playbook: YELLER

Character Overview: Quite a while ago in a battle far flung away (Reworded due to copyright), Andy Chrome lost half his face and an arm! After barely surviving, he replaced the parts lost with cybernetics. Now furious from losing half of his hair, he’s looking to settle the score with the grander part of space. Particularly with a whole lot of yelling.

Actor’s name and Bio
Andrew Drummond
Hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland, Andrew first came to attention as Robin Ballard. Robin was the young companion of the “Traveller” a Dr Whoesque character, in the TV show “Dark Season”. Robin proved to be massively popular, and subsequent seasons of the show retooled it so he was the main character. It ran for 4 seasons before ending. It’s one of two roles he’s known for, and he occasionally attends conventions, as he’s very grateful for those fans whom brought him early success.

After the show ended he tried his luck in Hollywood. The first couple of years were very disappointing, as whilst he was known to UK audiences, he was unknown to American audiences. Failed show pilot after pilot, films that fell through. Disaster after disaster. Andrew was ready to go back home.

Fate was kind. At age 23 Andrew landed the lead in Moscow Nights, which would be followed by Helsinki Days, then the final one in the trilogy, titled simply “Requiem For A Spy”. In them Andrew plays Peter Forbes, a naive new recruit to MI5 whom is betrayed and trapped in Russia. Over the course of the trilogy, Peter Forbes transforms from this naive young agent, into an international man of mystery badass spy. Requiem is generally received as the best of the trilogy, giving Peter Forbes a rollicking send off that satisfied everyone.

Now at age 26 he’s ready for a new challenge.

Character's Name:
The Pariah AKA The man with no name

Character's Appearance:
The pariah is wearing archaic black monk robes, with the hood up. He wears a silver cat mask over his face.

Playbook: Smooth operator

Character Overview:
The Pariah is secretly the emperor’s illegitimate son. The emperor sent an assassin to kill both mother and child, but whilst the assassin had no problem killing the mother, he couldn’t kill the the kid. So instead he trained him. When the Pariah was old enough to know the truth, he was told. Swearing revenge, the Pariah infiltrated an order of space monks in order to get to the emperor.

Audition Tape:
Taken from the failed pilot “Earth Sentinel”
Sentinel Adam smiled at his captor. Even handcuffed to a chair in the command center of the ship, he was still the epitome of charm and grace, that really irked the pants of the alien general Bodag, if the alien had any requirement for pants. Bodag glared at the human, his hatred palpable. "Why are you smiling human? You are captured, and in a few minutes, we will burn all life off that rock you call home."
Smiling, ever smiling. "I have you right where I want you."
Bodag laughed uproarious and in contempt of his prisoner. "Have me where you want me? What exactly is your plan?"
Adam beamed at his captor. "I’m every so happy you asked, old bean. As you know, there are very few true Thysicans left, which leaves your empire in a dilly of a pickle, when it comes to galactic conquest. A problem your frankly disgusting people solved by slapping control collars on the people you conquered, and press-ganging them into your armies. Now if someone was to use a device to destroy the collar terminal, well gosh, you would have an angry rebellion on your hands."
Drawing his sidearm, Bodag pointed it at Adam. "What a story. Too bad you’ll never get to do it."
Unflinching, Adam faced his certain doom like a man. "I never said I was going to do it."

Thalia, an alien woman that conveniently looked like a hot human woman but with blue hair, and wearing an outfit more appropriate on a stripper, than her actual job as head scientist, uploaded the virus into the collar terminal. All the slaves were freed and there was an instant rebellion, as they vastly outnumbered their captors. Bodag had to shoot two former slaves as Adam freed himself with ease and aplomb, grabbing a blaster from one of the fallen. They shoot at each other, but the chaos of combat makes both miss. The alien general, seeing the writing on the wall, makes an exit stage left. Not before taking a measure of vengeance on Adam, via shooting Thalia.

Adam rushed to Thalia, cradling her in his arms. "I meant every word. I was going to show you Earth, there’s this beautiful island called Santorini, you would have loved it there." His voice cracking with emotion, as his heart was breaking.
"My love, kiss me one last time." They kiss, cementing their tragic true love, until Thalia slumps back. Adam tenderly closes her eyes, before letting out an anguished howl of pain and rage. He stands, his eyes full of murder, and his heart promising death to Bodag.

Now I wonder which character my guy will be a sidekick to?

With a sidekick you will get:

Your very own personal chauffeur! He can drive anything from a cool racing machine to a out of space...spacemachine!

Unlimited supply of cool shades. If he looses a pair, he always has more!

bullet sponge! No need to get shot! My guy will take it from here!

Will point out the things everyone can see. "Watch out Commander, there are space mu-mu-mu-mummies!"

Has lots of very cool and very groovy hair products, you can borrow! As long as it's Soul Glo!

Do you have more than ONE person who needs a thumbs up? He's got you covered!

Well, I have to say I'm rooting for Adam Chrome by @Interested!

Hey @Interested, welcome to the site. I think it is really important to encourage new players so I hope there is a spot for you here.

An image can really bring an application (and character) to life, and I have been trying to create one for you. But my AI-fu is not strong, and it is not understanding my prompts (based on your descriptions). In particular, it either gives me a full-on robot, or a human, but not a robot arm or half-cyborg face.

I made these images. Are any of them any good to you?

Thank you both for the welcome. I’m glad to read that you’re rooting for Adam Chrome, @Mitsubachi. It’s great to know someone liked my application. I hope I make it in as well. As for the images, none fit the character appearance that I’m imagining. Although, the first 3 images get the feel of the character. Specifically the glower and the rad glowing red eye. But the 4th image gets his ultra important motivation down. The fact that half of his hair is gone due to the metal part having to replace it. The 5th image I don’t have much to say about other than helping me realize I didn’t think too much about how far the metal half of his face goes down. Either stopping right above his cheek or replacing all of his half. In the end, it’ll come down to whatever looks the coolest in the film and how easy it will be to make into an action figure. None of them get the arm down. It doesn’t look like flesh and really looks like a robot arm. A cybernetic arm made fully of sci-fi metal (Tinfoil), from shoulder to fingers. I do appreciate you giving me images to choose from.

I don't usually do this @Interested, but I just love, love, LOVE your username. I cannot believe it wasn't taken yet.

Thank you, @Sirviantis. I feel honored by how you worded that. I was surprised it wasn’t taken too. I had thought about what username to use when I decided to go with something simple but semi-creative. I was worried that it might be too simple or pedantic when I typed it in but your feedback assures me it’s amazing. In other news, I’ve hit that special 3 posts. I’ll be attempting the tutorial soon. Hopefully that will go well.

Just highlighting this in case the director didn’t see it, since the table still says incomplete.
