Assignment Short Drama
3 character designs
- The enthusiastic type
His name is Lucas Samuels and he is 17 years old. His personality is like a falcon as he is really fast and if you make him angry he will attack.
This character has no definition of the word give up. He is a happy go getting person who always likes to help out. He is also a little hyper so he can be crazy too.
He loves to run around and is really athletic but often he can be quite competitive because he doesn’t always like to lose to some people.
But he can be self centred and smug which means he may be tough to talk to. Because he sometimes only thinks about himself, thinking he is the greatest, thinking that he is better than everyone means that his friends may not like him that much and other people may avoid him.
Being so athletic means that he isn’t quite intelligent and fails tests easily but he is never too nervous to ask for help from his friends who are always willing to help him out in his time of knowledge.
But he can also be inpatient which means he always leaps before he looks.
He also gets angry really easily because he can’t really take a joke and that can leave him into a lot of trouble with teachers and sometimes parents.
But he can have a way with words which is why some people respect him.
2. The comedy type
His name is Larry Simons and he is 17 years old. His personality is like a monkey as he always smiles and is often clumsy and would let his imagination take over him.
He has a goofy personality and always tries to help his friends by making them laugh if they were feeling down.
He often likes to help out and really doesn’t think of himself as a leader because he really doesn’t know what he is doing. He is more of a comedy sidekick character like JD (Zach Braff) from the comedy Drama show Scrubs, Larry also has a big fear of many things as he is a huge coward.
He enjoys sleeping but loves a competitive video game against one of his friends; he also is a hard worker despite his lazy attitude.
But sometimes he can be too harsh with his jokes and sometimes may offend some people around him, which can often leave him in deep trouble. He also can be really hard to deal with unless there is something for him in return.
But his worst aspect is that when someone is talking to him he often wanders into his own world and would sometimes talk to himself and say loads of random stuff and some people find that really annoying and find it hard to deal with him.
Plus whenever there is a fight he usually sets in at the wrong time and tries to fix it when in the end he always seems to make it worse and ends up the one getting hurt.
3. The Calm and Gentle type
His name is Lance Stevenson, a 17-year-old dude who is an all-round nice guy with a heart of pure gold. With his gentle voice and extremely cool attitude he can deal with any situation that gets in his way and he never resorts to fight or any kind of violence but only when it is desperately needed.
He has a sort of hippie personality, as he likes nature as it brings peace to him. His hobbies are climbing trees and he loves reading. Due to all his reading he is really intelligent and gets some of the best grades in his school. Some say he is a ladies man and the girls think of him as mysterious and sometimes they crowd around him asking for dates and he always tries to stay out of it.
But he is always willing to help his friends when they are troubled whether it is something athletic of homework. He also enjoys art and loves to draw things for his amusement. Since he is so popular the kids always like to hang out with him as he sets an example to them, but there is one thing he cannot tolerate and that’s a bully picking on the little kids but he never hesitates to rush in and help them even if it is usually the cost of his life. So in ways he can be extremely reckless and often thinks outside the box when it comes to a decision when he is under pressure.
