V

• Role Type: Supporting (Major)

• Gender / Age: Female, early 20s (23)

• Appearance: Long hair, gritty/distressed aesthetic. Wears a long green jacket, ripped blue jeans, and a junkie hat. Initially appears to have no cybernetic alterations, but later reveals hidden technological wiring beneath her makeup.

• Character Bio: Applies for a waitress position at Chef Jacobs’ restaurant, presenting herself as a clumsy, wide-eyed “old-world” culinary purist who despises the dominant gum culture. She is highly persuasive, seemingly innocent, and quickly becomes Jacobs’ confidante. However, V is actually a calculated undercover operational asset for Cyber-world Security working directly alongside E.

• Actor Requirements: Strong range required. Must seamlessly transition from a clumsy, quirky comic-relief character to a cold, highly physical, cybernetic operative. Impeccable physical acting skills are a must.

TIM

• Role Type: Supporting

• Gender / Age: Male, 23 years old

• Appearance: Classic worn-down service worker aesthetic. Wears a customer service VR headset (frequently adjusted incorrectly as his panic settles in).

• Character Bio: The anxious, overworked, and highly stressed cashier/front-of-house worker at Neo Restaurant. He lives in fear of the shifting totalitarian state but is equally terrified of Chef Jacobs’ volatile temperament. As he consumes the serum-tainted food, he becomes a tragic early victim of the escalating green pandemic.

• Actor Requirements: Excellent comedic timing mixed with heavy dramatic vulnerability. Will require physical performance work/SFX makeup application to depict severe illness and deterioration.

E

• Role Type: Supporting / Antagonist

• Gender / Age: Female, 40s (F40)

• Appearance: Intimidating, strictly formal presentation. Long black coat, dark suit with a black tie, a black hat, and an official wire-shaped tree emblem pinned to her coat.

• Character Bio: The ruthless Head of Cyber-world Security. Cold, calculating, and completely lacking in human emotion, she perpetually chews government-issued synthetic gums. She is investigating a corporate lab theft but views the resulting societal decay not as a tragedy, but as a highly efficient corporate cleansing mechanism.

• Actor Requirements: Commanding screen presence. Mastery over deadpan, micro-expression acting. Speaks with absolute authority and bureaucratic chill.

EFFICIENCY AGENT

• Role Type: Supporting / Featured

• Gender / Age: Male, 40s (M40)

• Appearance: Bureaucratically sharp corporate attire. Wears an invisible keyboard interface and a prominent Efficiency Government badge depicting a human climbing a mountain. Later appears disheveled, bloody, and visually corrupted by the plague.

• Character Bio: A condescending government tax auditor sent to squeeze missing revenue out of the restaurant. Arrogant and smugly reliant on state technology, his professionalism crumbles the moment he accidentally samples Jacobs’ contaminated food, leading to a violent addiction and his ultimate demise.

PUNK

• Role Type: Supporting / Featured

• Gender / Age: Male, early-to-mid 30s (M33)

• Appearance: Dystopian criminal/underground aesthetic. Long black jacket and a distinct metal face mask.

• Character Bio: A dangerous black-market fence and local gang leader who trades stolen government tech and illegal drugs (“Red Dragon”). He acts as a predatory financial sponsor to Jacobs’ restaurant but is deeply protective of his missing gang members.

• Actor Requirements: High-energy, menacing performance. Needs to handle simulated firearm usage.
