Character Plan

CHARACTERS:

JOE-A 16-18 YEAR OLD BOY WHO IS THE MOST UNPOPULAR KID IN SCHOOL. HE IS ALSO THE NARRATOR OF THE MOVIE, WHICH ALLOWS FOR DEEP TALKING TO YOURSELF THEMES AND COMEDIC 4^TH WALL BREAKING. HE WEARS OLD CLOTHES THAT ARE IN NO WAY FASHIONABLE. HE IS SOCIALLY AWKWARD AND SHY. THIS WAS MAINLY INSPIRED BY CHARACTERS LIKE SCOTT PILGRIM (SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD) AND GARTH ALGAR (WAYNE'S WORLD), WHO ARE BOTH VERY SOCIALLY AWKWARD AND NOT VERY POPULAR COMPARED TO THEIR FRIENDS.

ERIN-A 16-18 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO IS AN EDGY PUNK GIRL. SHE IS THE CHILDHOOD FRIEND OF JOE. SHE HATES EVERYTHING AND IS VERY GRUMPY. SHE WEARS A LOT OF EMO/GOTH MAKE UP AND MUSIC RELATED CLOTHES. SHE WAS MAINLY INSPIRED BY JANIS IAN (MEAN GIRLS) WHO DRESSES IN A LOT OF BLACK AND HATES A LOT OF COOL STUFF LIKE THE COOL KIDS AND MAINSTREAM MUSIC.

SIMON-A 16-18 YEAR OLD BOY WHO IS OBSESSED WITH MEMES AND THE INTERNET. HE IS THE OTHER BEST FRIEND TO JOE. HE IS ALSO SOCIALLY AWKWARD AND SHY BUT IS MORE DISTINGUISHED BY HIS LOVE FOR JOKES. HE IS THE FUNNY ONE. HE WEARS A LOT OF NERDY/HIPSTER CLOTHES WITH LOGOS AND INTERNET JOKES ON THEM. HIM AND ERIN DON’T GET ON. HE WASN'T INSPIRED BY A SPECIFIC FILM CHARACTER, BUT FROM WHOM I'D IMAGINE WOULD BE THE KIND OF KIDS THAT GO ON THE INTERNET A LOT AND WATCH MAINLY MEMES FOR ENTERTAINMENT.

EUGENE-A 16-18 YEAR OLD BOY WHO IS JOE’S ARCH NEMESIS. HE ACTS LIKE THEY’RE POLAR OPPOSITE WHEN REALLY THEY’RE THE SAME PERSON. HE TOO WEARS UNCOOL CLOTHES. HE IS ALSO SOCIALLY AWKWARD BUT IS MORE AGGRESSIVE AND SELF CENTERED. HE WAS MAINLY INSPIRED BY MANY HIGH SCHOOL BULLIES IN FILMS LIKE HENRY BOWERS (IT), KENNY (LET ME IN) AND REGINA GEORGE (MEAN GIRLS), WHO ARE MAINLY BULLIES TO EVERYONE BUT ARE INSECURE ABOUT SOMETHING PERSONAL. WITH EUGENE, IT'S HIS NAME.

JOSH-A 16-18 YEAR OLD BOY WHO IS EUGENE’S BEST FRIEND. HE IS EXACTLY LIKE SIMON FOR COMEDIC EFFECT. HE TOO WAS INSPIRED BY HOW I'D IMAGINE THE INTERNET AUDIENCE TO LOOK AND SOUND LIKE.

GRETCHEN-A 16-18 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO IS EUGENE’S OTHER BEST FRIEND. SHE IS EXACTLY LIKE ERIN FOR COMEDIC REASONS. SHE TOO WAS INSPIRED BY CHARACTERS LIKE JANIS WHO HATE EVERYTHING AND WEAR MAINLY BLACK.

EVANGELINE-A 16-18 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO IS JOE’S CRUSH. SHE IS WAY OUT OF JOE’S LEAGUE BEING EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL. SHE WEARS LOTS OF MAKE UP AND FANCY CLOTHES. SHE DOESN’T LIKE JOE THAT MUCH. SHE WAS INSPIRED BY CHARACTERS LIKE RAMONA FLOWERS (SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD) AND THE PLASTICS FROM MEAN GIRLS, WHO HAVE MEN DYING AT THEIR FEET, BUT THEY ARE QUITE BITTER AND HARSH AND ON THE OUTSIDE, COULDN'T REALLY CARE LESS ABOUT THE GUYS WHO WORSHIP THEM.
