THE ONE - (50s, any gender) A military strategist who, along with their wife, is adored/idolized by a major fan base. Though you can't go far without seeing a photo of them on a magazine cover or the nightly news, behind closed doors is a child who never really had to grow up. They have an instinct for killing honed by a lifetime of action figures.
THE SPOUSE (50s, any gender) Along with their bethrothed, lives a very public life, the type so loud that it's easy to hide. They have made a career of never going deep into their psyche for fear of what they'll find. This method has tuned their sense of the world, and they are brilliant at understanding how others tick. Perhaps, in reality, they, not their betrothed, are the true strategist.
THE ARTIST (Unknown age, Masc of center) A man who works daily to save his family from the abject poverty all around them. To a point, he uses a wry sense of humor and a belief in creativity to endure. But when devastation reassembles his world, he gives over to a rage he thought he could always keep at bay.
THE KING (60s, any gender) Elevated to a station far beyond their wisdom, THE KING leans heavily on their advisors and ultimately, is looking for a way out. May play other supporting roles.
