Description:
In 2050, society has fallen victim to extreme climate changes and oxygen has become the world’s currency. A young rebel named Orco must find a way to save the life of his unborn child in a world where giving birth has been outlawed.
Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ORCO | Male | Caucasian | 18-32 | Born and raised in an orphanage in the midst of scarcity of resources Orco has a heart of gold. Due to climatic calamities over the decades and capitalist movement of the Opulents, orphanage was taken under control for human labour and experimentation but Orco managed to escape. After the early loss of his only home, self - doubt gripped him from within until he fell in love with Somy who held his hand and stood by his side. She understood his vulnerabilities and gave him a sense of long deprived belongingness. His only strength is his family and he can go to any extents to save them from this gruesome world. |
| SOMY | Female | Caucasian | 18-32 | Raised by field workers who work for the government, her family survived on bare minimums. She is a bold and independent woman, who simply don’t know how to back off until the work is done. Outspoken by nature she doesn’t think twice before speaking but being with Orco has made her more understanding and poised. She sacrificed possibly everything during the division of Scants and Opulents when her family was taken away as a means of lab experimentation by the Oplulents. (Refer to synopsis for this!) She has learned the rules to survive in this selfish world and is capable of thinking of herself. She still has faith in mankind and can go to any extents for her family by breaking the rules when she needs to. Fear of sacrificing her newborn baby to the Opulents, haunts her but doesn’t stop her from giving this birth. All she craves is a home and a family. |
| JUNOT | Male | Caucasian | 18-40 | All he is left with are the insecurities to ponder upon. Belonging to the community of scants he has never been a great admirer of societal rules and regulations. After losing his mother at an early age of 15, he decided to become a person of value in this futuristic society. Killings, politics, thefts and a lot more, he enjoys using his criminal mindset to become opulent leaving no traces behind. The way he sees the world is either black or white and is a huge believer of “nothing comes easy.” He likes the little fight in Orco to steal the cylinders from him but hates him for not being smart enough to get away with it. Crime is like a game for him, the longer it goes more interesting it becomes. |
| LUCY | Female | Caucasian | 24-40 | A doctor and researcher by profession, she is smart and resourceful. She has been serving Opulents for almost a decade and is lucky to be among the few well-studied people from the scants. Her researches are based on the fields of creating water and sustaining enough oxygen on the new and futuristic earth. She is an optimist, hopeful, and wants to give back to her community but not by sacrificing her own self. She knows her worth and wants to use it to benefit her position in society for the greater good. She has a soft corner for pregnant woman as she couldn’t conceive a child of her own like many women in 2050. She turns out to be natural, learning to fight and can run with the best of them without losing her good-hearted- nature. She has embarked on a journey to help Orco and Somy to give this illegal birth completely unaware of what awaits ahead on this road... |
| LUZO | Male | Caucasian | 24-40 | A firm believer of the Opulent regime, he has worked up his way to become a key member of the Junot’s Security group. Lean and agile, he has been trained to be a weapon to destroy all resistance. Trained to do more and think less he is prone to violence because of the torture he has suffered during the training. Over the years he has learned there is nothing beyond oxygen and can go to any extents to safeguard his share of oxygen. |
| RO | Male | Caucasian | 18-30 | He is proud to be a part of Junot’s security group at an early age. He is fast, sharp, clever and if the situation demands, ruthless. Combat and assassinations come as second nature to him. A quick learner and supporter of the totalitarian regime, he firmly believes in giving no second chances especially in the playground of death. He’s always thinking, always aware, and always looking for a chance to promote himself. Be it by fake praises or asking useless questions. He’s aware of the fact that if he crosses any borders under Junot, he will be dead before he knows. |
