STEVEN LATE TEENS – EARLY 20S. ALL ETHNICITIES MALE. A LEVEL HEADED, FRESHLY GRADUATED YOUNG ADULT. HE IS NERVOUS ABOUT HIS NEXT STEP INTO THE REAL WORLD AND IS OVERWHELMED BY UNCERTAINTIES OF WHAT HIS FUTURE HOLDS.

UNCLE SEBASTIAN LATE 20S – EARLY 50S. ALL ETHNICITIES MALE. HECTOR’S YOUNGER BROTHER. A GOOFY AND CHARISMATIC INDIVIDUAL. UNMARRIED AND WITHOUT CHILDREN TO THE DISMAY OF HECTOR’S SIDE OF THE FAMILY.

SHARON- EARLY 30S – EARLY 50S. ALL ETHNICITIES FEMALE. STEVEN’S MOTHER AND HECTOR’S EX-WIFE. SHARON IS A CARING WOMAN WHO WANTS HER SON TO BE APPY NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

ZANE LATE TEENS – EARLY 20’S. ALL ETHNICITIES MALE. ONE OF STEVEN’S BEST FRIENDS. QUIET AND OBSERVANT. THE SHY ONE OF THE FRIEND GROUP, BARELY EVER SPEAKING. VERY STUDIOUS AND BOOK-SMART, ALTHOUGH ONE WOULD NOT GUESS IT BY LOOKING AT HIM.
