Rex” The Bounty Hunter
Hard edged, steel jawed, and happily taciturn, Rex doesn’t bountyhunt for glamour or glory, just the gut satisfaction of a hard job done right. There’s no better reward than watching another lawless pest get sucked into the vortex. She almost wants them to give her a bit of trouble along the way, any excuse to put them in their place. The ones who like to talk, on the other hand... Let’s just say she’s requested a muting helmet from the BH commission and doesn’t see “cruel and unusual” as a valid excuse not to produce one. She dresses for practicality and a little because she knows she wears a layer of country dust better than anyone. In her spare time, she likes to perfect “her Krav Maga and read The Art of War. Why? What do you do?
The person who plays Rex will need to be 25 to 35 and very fit. Preferably a practising martial artist or dancer as there will be a considerable amount of training and rehearsing for the part.
“Sookie” The Trouble Maker
Sookie has no idea why people talk about her being a pleasure seeker like it’s a bad thing. Isn’t everyone? What’s the point in living if you’re not always looking for the best fun, the most excitement and the cutest shoes? She can’t help it if her home dimension doesn’t have what she’s after. All those “incidents” were just cultural misunderstandings. If the other dimension dwellers were as well travelled as Sookie, then they wouldn’t kick up such a fuss, or so she likes to tell her Paw. With a mouth that could rival a whole convention of auctioneers, Sookie is an open book of infinitely flapping pages. Unless you’re trying to get her into trouble, then she might lie... just a little... just to save her own arse. I mean, who wouldn’t?
The person who plays Sookie will need to be 20 - 30 and very fit. Preferably a practising martial artist or dancer, but not a deal breaker, as there will be a considerable amount of training and rehearsing for the part.
“Mee-Maw”
Mee-Maw is your typical grandmother; Purple perm, floral dress, sensible cardigan, a wicker basket laden with home-cooked goodies, and a trusty paper timetable for Interdimensional transport in her purse. She’s quick with a quip and quicker with a disapproving glance. She also possesses super-human strength and a demonic temper to match. You know... typical. Mee-Maw whiles away the hours looking after her crazy husband, rescuing her nutty granddaughter, rustling up some dandy baked goods in between, and complaining every step of the way.
The person who plays Mee-Maw will need to be 60+ and in good physical shape. Mee-Maw is a fun part that would suit someone who exercises regularly. Although stunt doubles will be used, there is some action required of the actor under the guidance of a professional stunt coordinator.
“Pap-Pap”
The cheese slid off Pap-Pap’s cracker some time ago. Whether or not this happened voluntarily no one in the family can say. If there ever was a time when he fully knew what was going on, it is well and truly anchored in the past, along with his last decent set of teeth. The combination of life- long oafishness, late-life confusion and... you know, the super-strength, doesn’t often lead to good results for Pap-Pap. Even through his fog of confusion one thing prevails: his love for his family. Family is honour. Family is pride. Family is... where did those teeth get to?
The person playing Pap-Pap will need to be 60+ and in good physical shape. Pap-Pap is a fun part that would suit someone who exercises and stretches regularly. Although much of the action will be covered using effects, some action will be required of the actor under the guidance of a professional stunt coordinator.
