Casy Devon

Casy is from a small village in England called Pytchley. From an early age, Casy knew he was meant for something big, and made sure everyone knew it. He dreamed of the day he could break away from small town life and see the world, or rather, so the world could see him. A 'ham' from the start, Casy charmed his way through school, and at 18, found an agent and began a modeling career in London. He was soon discovered by Jackson Dean, Hollywood talent agent, and broke into the celebrity scene with his first movie, 'Angels in Darkness.' Winning multiple awards, Casy silenced all the rumors of being a passing fad, only to become the paparazzi's biggest pay day. Loved, wanted, and obsessed over for his talent, good looks, and brazen lifestyle, Casy became the most popular celebrity in the world. And, as many celebrities do, Casy lost his true identity, and no longer knew the real man, the one the cameras never captured. Beaten down by fame, Casy turned first to alcohol. When that no longer helped numb, his girlfriend, a D-list actress named Emily, introduced him to drugs. Heroin quickly enslaved Casy, causing his soul to hit rock bottom. After a drug induced rage on set, Casy was hauled off to rehab to do a 90 day, court ordered stint. On day 91, he was let out, only to find that he still craved heroin as before. He became cynical, weary, and deflated. In summary, he no longer wished to live. He cried out to God in a last ditch effort, searching for the will to go on. He asked for one sign, just one, that he should not turn back to the chemical that would surely kill him.
Beneath the facade that fame created, Casy is by nature a very compassionate person. He loves his family and cares for his manager and bodyguards as though they were family as well. Before fame, Casy was known by everyone to be a jovial and free spirit, rarely letting anything bother him. He attaches easily to things he likes(hence becoming easily addicted). After fame, Casy is more solemn and worrisome, but still holds his underlying traits.
Casy is 26, speaks with a British accent, is tall, slim, and has movie star good looks.


Bo Black

Beautiful, shy, introverted, and extremely intelligent are all characteristics that sum up Bo, but the one that creates the biggest impact on her life is not so docile as her pretty face and the perfect score she received on her MCAT. Bo is traumatized. The tragic, untimely death of her parents at an early age scarred Bo for life, so much so that she suffers from debilitating panic attacks. She hates being in public, and only has a couple of friends to speak of. She spends her time at the hospital working, or at her late father's billion dollar company, which she inherited. Bo has stuffed the pain of being orphaned down in her heart, and unknowingly has waited for someone to help her find healing, someone to give her the love and acceptance she was robbed of as a child. Ironically, she holds everyone at arm's length, for fear of getting too close and repeating her turbulent past.
Bo is 23, tall, slim, beautiful, with brilliantly light eyes.

Broderick

Broderick is the long-time body guard of Casy. He is also a friend, fretting over Casy like a parent would. Broderick's personality can be described as stoic, loyal, and no-nonsense. Broderick is big, muscular and approaching middle age.

Jason

Broderick's cousin and second bodyguard to Casy, Jason, is young and always looking for a good fight. Jason takes his job seriously, and is never afraid of getting sued by the paparazzi. He has vowed to protect Casy at all cost, yet lets his big mouth get him in trouble quite a bit. Jason is in his late twenties, big, and muscular.

Emily

Emily is known on the Hollywood scene to be nothing but paparazzi fodder. Once upon a time she almost made it big, riding the coat tails of Casy after starring with him in 'Angles in Darkness.' Always considered to be a 'bad girl,' Emily had no problem making her reputation stick as she delved into the dark world of drugs and partying. Unfortunately, she dragged Casy with her, attempting to smear his name. Misery loves company, as the saying goes. A romantic fling formed, but Casy quickly put a stop to it, not wanting his talent and his name to be affected by her shenanigans. However, he was unable to shake the addictions that she so easily introduced him to, and she knew she had this one thing to hold over his head. She is insanely jealous and stalks Casy, finding him more addictive than her drug habit. Emily is 24, petite, and the drugs have taken a toll on her once pretty face.
