INTERVIEW WITH ANA VICTORIA – PROTAGONIST
Tell me about yourself.
My name is Ana Victoria. I am from Mexico, the southern state of Guerrero. I travelled north on a freight train they call La Bestia with my husband and children, Gael aged three and Carmina aged five. We stopped in Nogales. We borrowed money from a man who claimed he knew how to get us across the border into the United States. He wanted 5 thousand dollars each to drive us into the desert where he said he could drop us off at a water station. He said he knew when people from a church would come to leave food and water. My husband attempted to walk to the border to check it out, but some men found his body about half-way there. My husband died of heart failure. We owed money for everything. My kids were too young to go out and pick on the farms. I couldn’t leave them, especially not my daughter. We were lucky to have shelter but now the owner and our coyote wanted the money. Any money. One day they told me to gather our things because we had to leave. Two men in a truck came. They wanted me to sit up front with them. The children were in the back. I was afraid they would rape me. At first it seemed like they were going to go through with the deal. We drove long enough to reach the border. The Sonoran Desert was peaceful and dark. Then they started harassing me, maybe out of boredom or I don’t know why. They got angry that I didn’t want to perform sex. They said they could just throw me out in the desert because they had buyers for the children. Someone wanted a little girl for a family in Chicago. My orphans would pay off our debt. This was not part of our deal. They were going to sell my children like slaves, and I might end up in a whorehouse. I started fighting with them. They stopped the truck and punched me in the head and body. They threw my body into the desert. I was lucky. The church people found me early in the morning on one of their trips to leave water and food near the border. I would have died if I lay there for a day in that sun. I want to get my children back. I want Carmina and Gael to be with me. I will never give up my search for my children.
Having to do with this journey, what are your strengths and
weaknesses? I loved Carmina and
Gael. No one can take that away
from me. I am poor now, and I am
not sure I am strong enough to take on those kidnappers. But I will do it.Why are you committed to making the Protagonist fail? Or for a
relationship movie, why are you committed to making them change? It is my fault we were separated on this
journey. I could not protect my
children. I want to recover them
from the evil bastards who drove off laughing about selling them to
strangers.What do you get out of winning this fight / succeeding in your plan
/ taking down your competition? To
be reunited with my children, and revenge.
I do dream of killing those men.What drives you toward your mission / agenda, even in the face of
danger, ruin, or death? Love,
anger, I am a mother. I cannot give
up this role.What secrets must you keep to succeed? What other secrets do you
keep out of fear / insecurity? I feel
guilty about making my husband go north.
We owned money back home, and we did not have enough to get across
the border without making more compromises. I made a bad deal with men who hurt us.Compared to other people like you, what makes you special? I am fierce. I am love. I met a new man who married me. He is a retired police officer. He is helping me search for my children.
What do you think of the Protagonist? I do not know if the gang members sold
Gael or turned him into one of their own.
I will discover what happened.Tell me your side of this whole conflict / story. I was looking for a way out for our
family. I encouraged my husband to
go north, but I lost him. I continued
pursuing our deal with criminals who stole my children and left me for
dead. I have to recover my children to feel at peace and find some kind of
justice. Like millions of other migrants, I seek recovery, a resolution with justice, and love.-

Deni B. Sher’s Character Interviews
What I learned doing these two interviews was interesting for me because, sadly, my darling husband Arthur passed away from cancer in September 2019. So, for me to interview him today was not only fun, but it was so easy to write what was in his heart in 1999 when we met and when he helped me to do tough love in 2001. Although I’ve written and published a book, I don’t remember putting a lot of Arthur’s input into my book. Of course, I am going to go back and read my book before I begin the script. These interviews will help me figure out how to make page one so good that readers/producers will want to go on my journey!
QUESTIONS FOR YOUR PROTAGONIST
Tell me about yourself. When I did tough love, I was 51. I am 73 now. My son was almost 26. I was a single mother since he was 4. At 10, I let him go live with his dad and his wife, as I was majorly stressed out being a single mother with no child support. I sold my home, paid off my college loan and opened a computer company while my son lived with his dad. After 2 years, my son returned to live with me when he was 12 and his dad moved to CA from FL. I adored my son and letting him go live with his dad was the hardest thing I ever did, but I felt he would prosper with 2 parents and I was at my wit’s end. While he was gone, I built a very successful computer business and literally went from rags to riches and was able to “spoil” my son when he returned. I did visit him every Friday and bring him to my home until Sunday, every weekend and even paid child support while he was living with his dad. Because I had a major responsibility running a company, I didn’t parent him close enough, but let him be more on his own. I was very naïve when it came to using pot and couldn’t tell when my son was high. I put him in private schools and struggled just to get him out of high school. I even sent him to military school for over a year in NC. He told me he’d never do anything other than smoke pot, and I believed him. Needless to say, that isn’t what eventually took place and I had no control over what substances he injested.Why do you think you were called to this journey? Why you? Believe it or not, I think God gave me a mission to let people know there is HOPE that our children can recover.You are up against. What is it about them that makes this journey even more difficult for you? It is/was a journey between life and death. In order to survive or accomplish this, you are going to have to step way outside of your box. What changes do you expect to make and which of them will be the most difficult? Because it already took place, I had to step way outside my box. I had to go from being a co-dependent enabler to a mother who accepted that it wasn’t up to her – it was only up to her son. I had no control over his choices. I had to let go and let God. The most difficult challenge was knowing that without my money and enabling, that he could die.What habits or ways of thinking do you think will be the most difficult to let go of? That I can save my son. I had to accept that I had no direct control over him. What fears, insecurities and wounds have held you back? Fear that my son could die. Fear that he would hate me. What skills, background or expertise makes you well-suited to face this conflict or antagonist? In the beginning I had no skills, background or expertise to deal with an addicted son, but over the ten years it took for him to get clean and sober, I learned lots of skills and gained tons of knowledge about familial dysfunction. What are you hiding from the other characters? What don’t you want them to know? I didn’t want everyone to know my son was addicted because it made me feel like I failed as a mother.What do you think of? I think as parents we need to be educated about what to look for in our children when their behaviors change due to using drugs or alcohol.Tell me your side of this whole conflict / story. I was scared to do tough love, but I knew it had to be done. I was very lucky to have Arthur Sher in my life to give me emotional support and act as my change agent/antagonist. As a mother facing losing her son to drugs and alcohol I was ready to go into battle to save my son, but soon learned it was his battle and could only help from the side lines through emotional support, prayer, writing, projection and positive thinking.What does it do for your life is you succeed here? We both did succeed. My son is 12 years sober, married and I have two adorable and healthy grandsons, 11 and 6. My son is one of the best fathers you can imagine. He knows how important a dad is and is there for his boys.Ask any other questions about their character profile that will help you. I know me!
QUESTIONS FOR YOUR ANTAGONIST
Tell me about yourself. When I met Deni, I was divorced 6 years from my ex-wife, I was 56, had custody of my 16-year-old son and I swore I’d never get married again. But, after dating Deni twice, I knew she was the one. We dated one year and when my son went off to college, she sold her condo and moved in with me. We were head over heels in love. I am a radiologist but have an uncanny ability to understand human nature and the psychology of man. Deni was like no other woman I’d ever met and I loved the fact that she never did drugs. Most women I met at her age were usually on something. She was naturally high! I love all sports and especially college football and Pro football. I have traveled all over the world going to sporting events and have been to 12 Super Bowls. I also love and follow European football. I love to gamble on all sports. Not big money, just small amounts on everything! I do love to play Texas Holdem’ in casinos. Because I had a cancerous melanoma on my back just out of med-school, I didn’t think I’d live to see my 40<sup>th</sup> birthday. I went through med school with my first wife and asked for a divorce because I wanted to travel and “live” before I died. Though she didn’t want a divorce, she agreed and off I went after getting an honorable discharge from the Navy as a Captain, out of med school. I traveled the world, and lived life to the fullest… but never died. I met my second wife wile partying, she got pregnant and I married again. I stayed married because of our son, but after 10 years we divorced as I was miserable… swearing I had it with women and marriage.Having to do with this journey, what are your strengths and weaknesses? Because I dealt with a wife who used drugs, I knew the headaches and heartaches involved. And, as much as I loved Deni, there was no way I could marry her and become financially liable for her addicted son, so I was very strong and adamant about that situation – but in a gentle and kind way. I knew Deni needed someone strong to lean on and who understood what she was going through. L also knew Deni loved me beyond what words can describe and I knew she wanted to marry me. I was hoping she knew it was for both of their benefits for her to do tough love on her son, as that was the only way he could grow and become independent on his own two feet and the only way she could change as a co-dependent parent. Why are you committed to making the Protagonist fail? Or for a relationship movie, why are you committed to making them change? I am committed to being Deni’s change agent because I am deeply in love with Deni and want to marry her. Co-dependent parents don’t know they are co-dependent. Deni was so close to her situation that she couldn’t see the trees for the forest. All she wanted to do was save her son and I knew he had to save himself.What do you get out of winning this fight / succeeding in your plan / taking down your competition? What I get is a woman who can sleep at night without the fear her phone will ring with someone telling her, her son has overdosed and died. I get a future wife who will not worry all the time about her son. I also get a step-son I can trust not to manipulate his mother all the time and push her buttons. I want to spend the rest of my life with Deni and I know once her son is clean and sober, she will be free to be all she can be in life and I want to be the wind beneath her wings.
5. What drives you toward your mission / agenda, even in the face of danger, ruin, or death? My love for Deni is my driving force and also my knowledge of how an addict can drain their family as they try to save them and help them. I don’t want to be drained financially by her son. I already was drained by my ex-wife to a tune of a million dollars, so I could have custody of our son.
6. What secrets must you keep to succeed? What other secrets do you keep out of fear / insecurity? I know there is a chance that Deni’s son could die without her enabling, so I don’t go there with her. She knows it too but focuses on him living.
7. Compared to other people like you, what makes you special? As a doctor, I have lots of insight psychologically into people. I understand human nature and what makes people tick. I also feel my love for Deni makes me special because I totally get her. I know her better than she knows herself and she agrees with me.
8. What do you think of Deni’s son? Honestly, I think he’s a product of a failed marriage, where he was pulled between parents, heard too many negative things about both from the other and grew up without boundaries or discipline. He feels entitled and out of guilt, Deni buys into everything he says and gets him anything he wants. He doesn’t earn anything. I don’t think he’s an addict. I think he just likes to party and have fun. But, Deni doesn’t agree.
9. Tell me your side of this whole conflict / story. Most children suffer when parents divorce, unless both parents work at being friends and making sure the child or children aren’t caught in the middle. Deni’s son has her wrapped around his finger. She is so afraid he’ll die that she just continues to enable him. It pains me to watch. I love Deni and I know if she can stay strong that eventually her son will come to his senses. I am willing to help him once he is willing to help himself. He’s a bright guy. He’s good looking. Has a great personality, but needs direction. If he takes the steps to turn his life around and not use drugs and alcohol, I’ll be there for him.

H. Vince’s Character Interviews
The 30-Day Screenplay – 2023
Lesson 4: Character Interviews
What I learned from doing this assignment is…
More about the character background and personalities
PART 2:
VICTOR – PROTAGONIST
Tell me about yourself.
I feel like I’m at school on the first day with this question. Okay well I am 18. I live not that far from the beach in California. Uh, what else do you want to know?
Why do you think you were called to this journey? Why you?
At first, I had no idea. I asked myself the same thing. Why me? But now I know that I was being monitored my whole life because I may have had the potential to be the first “alien” born child.
You are up against your mom. Or who you thought was your mom. What is it about them that makes this journey even more difficult for you?
I mean I think I love her like a mom. She took care of me. No one else did so that’s kind of messing me up.
In order to survive or accomplish this, you are going to have to step way outside of your box. What changes do you expect to make and which of them will be the most difficult?
This is the thing. I never asked for this. It’s just like my name. Victor as in victory. Saint as in can do no wrong. Do you know how much of a mind warp that can be? And now it’s like I’m feeling this pressure to do something about what I now know about myself.
What habits or ways of thinking do you think will be the most difficult to let go of?
Look I left school not knowing what I was going to do next. I just knew I had to make money somehow so I’m working. Trust me this at least a step in becoming my own person. A number of people my age are still getting everything paid by their parents. Parents tells their kids stuff like go to college, do what interests you. Some people don’t know and to do what interests you as a job may not be all that fun because you’re doing what you thought was fun on someone else’s timeline and playing field. How can someone know who they are when they’re constantly going along with what someone else is telling them to do?
What fears, insecurities and wounds have held you back?
I don’t want to die yet. I’ve seen some shit.
What skills, background or expertise makes you well-suited to face this conflict or antagonist?
I don’t know. Can you just flip the switch on someone you trusted your whole life? I mean someone that took care of you as a mother?
What are you hiding from the other characters? What don’t you want them to know?
I have a girlfriend. When I see what happens with social media and how judgmental and offended people are, I just want to keep a private life.
What do you think of Donna?
I think that maybe initially she was just doing the job she was told to do. I have to find out more from her but that’s the thing, can I trust now what she says?
Tell me your side of this whole conflict / story.
Well, I told a stupid joke to a mechanic about the dents on my car saying I ran over protestors and next thing I know the dude is crying to social media trying to cancel me. People start recognizing me as this guy that was called out from someone that can’t take a joke and when I try to talk to the dude about it, he cries in his cornflakes again. Then something happens not sure what, I black out and wake up with people I don’t remember meeting except for this one girl who I now remembering seeing recently. This is getting beyond overwhelming…
What does it do for your life if you succeed here?
I don’t know. I’m not a fortune teller. Dude, I just graduated high school not that long ago and now I’m just an important Joe?
Ask any other questions about their character profile that will help you.
Not sure at this time.
DONNA – ANTAGONIST
Tell me about yourself.
I signed an NDA so there’s only so much I can say.
Having to do with this journey, what are your strengths and weaknesses?
I’m not really sure why they picked me. Maybe because I love pets. Maybe because I took care of my mother. I guess they saw I had the motherly nurturing instinct but I swore up and down kids were too much of a burden to have. It was easier to just treat it as a job. But I do like the kid.
Why are you committed to making the Protagonist fail? Or for a relationship movie, why are you committed to making them change?
I am committed to doing my job.
What do you get out of winning this fight / succeeding in your plan / taking down your competition?
A secure job and pension.
What drives you toward your mission / agenda, even in the face of danger, ruin, or death?
Money and security.
What secrets must you keep to succeed? What other secrets do you keep out of fear / insecurity?
I can’t tell Victor that I’m not really his mother unless I’m given permission.
Compared to other people like you, what makes you special?
Not everyone gets chosen for a mission like this. Well it’s kind of like secret service but protection but to turn him in for observation if anything starts going a different direction.
What do you think of Victor?
He’s kind. That whole cancelling thing was stupid. Kids, young people, everyone makes mistakes. I don’t think he really meant any harm.
Tell me your side of this whole conflict / story.
I’m here to monitor someone who may be involved with others that are trying to sabotage our government. I do what I am instructed to do. But I’ve spent so much time with Victor that I’ve taught him some things along the way. Alternative things to the way kids live now. I didn’t have all this kind of technology growing up.

Janis A. Pryor – Lesson 4 – Character Interviews
What I learned: this is tricky to do when the protagonists and antagonist are real people that have already been written about.
To the protagonist(s): (TC & JP)
Why are you doing this, going public with your story?
Because it needs to be told, now!
Is there anything I need to know? <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>Is there anything anyone else needs to know? If so, what?
That everything that happened is real, it happened and continues to happen. There are hundreds of stories recorded and verified by “learned men and women” in science and academia.
What’s the one thing we need to know about you, TC?
I screwed up. I waited too long and I am so sorry.
JP, what’s the one thing we need to know about you?
I’m persistent and there’s more Native in my worldview and behavior than anyone would ever know that allows me to keep at it.
How do you view Carole’s role in all this, TC?
She was conflicted. In a perfect world I would’ve introduced her to JP. I was planning on it. But it had to happen the way it did to serve a larger purpose.
Which was what?
To prove to her and the larger audience that JP has this gift. I’m sorry Carole couldn’t handle it. She was threatened by it.
Threatened how?
I think my sister thought JP would take me away from her, would be somebody she couldn’t measure up to. She didn’t know anybody like her.
JP, what are your thoughts?
She broke my heart. She’s the last living connection to TC that I had, but that’s another story.
How did she break your heart?
She couldn’t stand the connection I had with her brother, so she said she couldn’t see me or talk to me anymore.
How will you defeat the antagonist?
(TC)We alone won’t. This is one more blow to their resistance. More is coming, more stories, more research. And anyway, we were told… I (JP) was told people needed to know this story, and TC said to me that morning, “Tell our story. Tell what was and what was meant to be.” I just figured out how to tell what was meant to be, or at least some of it.
What’s the worst part of this story?
(JP) That it didn’t have to happen this way but there was no other way it could’ve happened given its purpose.
To the antagonist represented by the general public and specifically, Christine
What do you think about this story?
That it’s impossible. People go to church or they hear about heaven, but there’s no
way JP & TC had this encounter after death – or ongoing encounters.
What proof would you need?
I don’t know, the second coming! It’s just too out there!
Do you think this story is fiction?
I think something happened, but it’s not that, connecting with the afterlife.
For a minute, if you could set aside your beliefs, doubts, etc., just for a minute and if it were proven to you beyond a reasonable doubt, what would that do to you? How would that impact you?
Whoa! I guess it would change everything, especially how we look at what we do here, on earth, how and why we do it. I don’t think we’re ready for that.
Do you know there are groups, some on facebook, of people who’ve had and continue to have this kind of experience?
Well…no.
Will you ever be ready for this aspect of the truth?
I don’t know. It’s kinda scary…but if it’s real, sooner or later we’ll have to confront it. I think part of the truth about all this is people have to have their own experience. Something has to happen to them otherwise this is just too out there but I’ll listen.

Tasha’s Character Interviews
Doing this assignment, I learned to realize my goal despite the obstacles.
1. Listened to the Empowerment Audio.
2. Pull out the character profiles for your protagonist and antagonist.
Bethany
Role in the story: Victim/Dreamer/Warrior- Can’t find love due to her past possession but still hopes she’ll meet someone. She will eventually battle evil later in the story in order to pursue love because she taps into her spiritual power.
Age range and Description: 26
Internal Journey: Goes from lonely, fearful, naive, trusting, spiritual victim, and loveless/unlovable to betrayed, spiritually powerful, aware, self-love
External Journey: Goes from misguided by priest, demon attachment and striking out in love to in discovering her spiritual power and taking charge of her spiritual health, kicking the demon to the curb and finding love after learning to love herself
Motivation: She wants her first boyfriend
Wound: She was abandoned by her family and feels unloved. Betrayed by Deacon Anders who she saw as a father figure.
Mission/Agenda: To brave the world of blind/online dating and find a guy
Secret: She was possessed by a demon and it’s still around. And she’ll miss it when it’s gone.
What makes them special? Due to her family’s abandonment, she has dedicated her life to making foster kids feel loved. When her spiritual power becomes activated, she also performs exorcism and educates parents on the dangers of child abandonment especially when it comes to post-exorcism attachment .
Deacon Anders
Role in the story: Authority/Villain/Predator – The priest who exorcized Bethany and now thinks it’s his God-given mission to protect God’s children from her vulnerability to the corruptive forces of evil by controlling her and keeping her attached to her demon. Also using her to advance his career.
Age range and Description: 72
Internal Journey: Goes from righteousness, blind belief, absolute assuredness to desperate, defiant and lost
External Journey: Goes from exerting a controlling and manipulative influence over Bethany to being exposed for practicing dark magic, bested by Bethany’s spiritual power and stripped of his church’s affiliation
Motivation: To stop Bethany from spreading her corruption and evil in the name of God
Wound: Hasn’t been allowed to climb the ranks of religious hierarchy
Mission/Agenda: To be recognized for the exorcism and management of a demon so he can be promoted to Bishop and maybe one day Pope
Secret: He practices black magic. Enjoys Bethany’s train-wreck of a dating life.
What makes them special? He makes Bethany think he actually loves and cares about her, but he thinks she’s pathetic and delights in her painful dating life like it’s a reality TV. Also, he thinks he’s actually doing good and that Bethany is evil.
3. Then interview each character, knowing that they will answer any questions you ask. As you interview them, allow them to tell you their experience.
Bethany Interview
Tell me about yourself.
I want love. I have a lot to offer. I could be a good supportive gf and I have a lot of love to give. I want to give my love to someone and be loved by them too. I haven’t had a lot of love in my life. My parents abandoned me and I understand why. I was possessed and it scared my family. Deacon Anders exorcized me and I think they thought the possession tainted me. So they put me in foster care. I’ve had no contact with them for a long time.
Why do you think you were called to this journey? Why you?
I’m just a 26 year old typical girl. I dance around my room in underwear to music. I have a job. I mentor and advocate for foster kids. I give them love and that’s why I know I have a lot of love to give. I’m a normal girl. I love pizza. I was possessed by a demon.
You are up against <the Antagonist>. What is it about them that makes this journey even more difficult for you?
I have a spiritual power. Feels like a divine gift from God. I can send demons back to where they come from. I discover this spiritual power later after I realize Deacon Anders has been practicing black magic to keep me from love. I still have a demon attachment to me but the one I’m being oppressed by is Deacon Anders. Strangely my power is what exposes him and gets him stripped of his priesthood. It also gets Demon 23 to leave. My spiritual power is attached to my incredible ability to love and the demon sees my heart and sees that he’s stopping me from love and he wants to give her a chance finally. I’m the right person for the journey because I’m spiritually strong, perseveres and her demon is in love with her.
In order to survive or accomplish this, you are going to have to step way outside of your box. What changes do you expect to make and which of them will be the most difficult?
Deacon Anders is a hard one for me bc of all the people – i haven’t had a lot of love in my life – fam left, no bf. Foster kids give her love so covered on that front. But the one guy who i thought was in my corner, came fourth as a father figure was Deacon Anders. She trusted him completely, thought he was trying to take care of me, make sure I was ok. Ended up not caring about me. Using me to advance my career. Betrayal, Broke heart. Almost lost spiritual power because of a broken heart. Still has a broken heart even though she learned to love herself, but has learned that in spite of people I trust hurting me, I will be ok, I will be strong and add to my power. But it was even more difficult, despite it all, he thought I was evil and thought God wanted him to stop me.
The change I will have to make is letting go of wanting love with a partner – the minute she can free herself of that burden, she can love herself, concentrate on herself and heal. It’s scary because she doesn’t want to give up on love and be alone forever. The 2nd difficult thing is to part ways with her demon. She knows he’s the reason she can’t find her person and love but he’s the only one who has been interested in me this whole time and I’ve known him for years and I think I might miss him…it.
Changes I need to make are to stop wanting love with someone else, love myself, heal myself, get Deacon Anders out of her religious life/life and saying goodbye to Demon 23 (does she end up with Demon 23 in the end? Does her spiritual power make him worthy of love?)
What habits or ways of thinking do you think will be the most difficult to let go of?
Must change habits of wanting love, looking for love, hoping for love, putting too much trust in Deacon Anders, letting him make me think I’m unlovable, letting him keep my attachment going, stop letting demon 23 act like a jealous bf and ruin things for me, be less naive, be open, take on own spiritual healing, master her power
What fears, insecurities and wounds have held you back?
I think, even though I try to be optimistic about love, it’s been so long, I’m starting to think I’m unlovable. I cling to demons’ interest in him. I don’t think it’s love, the way he treats her is awful, it’s not love. Her family never saw her as a person, but this corrupted, evil thing. Being possessed then being abandoned gives you a lot of self doubt
What skills, background or expertise makes you well-suited to face this conflict or antagonist?
Being possessed, having an attachment still. Fear made her vulnerable. Maybe never really spiritual so she could be taken over. But has dealt with all this stuff for so long she’s not afraid of it anymore and the fact that she loves children and helps them makes her well suited to face her conflict. Also met a guy that might really like her, she might tell him the truth (Deacon Anders already told him, maybe that’s how she finds out about Deacon Anders). Performed exorcism of foster child and realizes she is spiritually powerful and can take on Deacon Anders and demon 23.
What are you hiding from the other characters? What don’t you want them to know?
Doesn’t tell her dates she was possessed. She knows Deacon Anders does it and knows he really makes her a bad guy but it’s not like she isn’t going to ever tell them but her best foot forward isn’t hey, i was once possessed by a demon and he’s still hanging around. I don’t think I’ll ever be possessed again, he’s still around but I can keep him at bay, but I can’t get rid of him and I guess I can still get possessed. I keep that a secret. I keep in the hurt from the abandonment. And even tho i trust him and see him as a father fig, i know deep down something is off about Deacon Anders but i keep it in bc I think if I show him that i’m not secure with how he feels about me, he’ll pull away his interest and “love”
What do you think of Deacon Anders?
I love and respect Deacon Anders but I guess I thought he was pompous and one-sided but you know that people are flawed and you give the one you love slack and understanding and explain it away. I really really thought he was someone I could lean on.
Tell me your side of this whole conflict / story.
I’m trying to date, can’t shake this demon and finds out Deacon Anders is behind it all and have to let go of everything and face him and face the demon and i do it bc i fall in love but it doesn’t really matter bc i want to love myself and when I find out Deacon Anders is doing black magic to keep Demon 23 around, i have to undo it and take him on and i just i find out he does to advance his career and be bishop bc he can manipulate a demon, not entirely certain what he’s trying to do but he didn’t care what happened to me
What does it do for your life if you succeed here?
It changes it for the better finally move forward finally let go of sadness and resentment of being abandoned, can finally break up with demon 23 and move his box out of my garage so to speak and make room for another box and really hope it’s this guy that seems to find me interesting i would love he continued to date me, that would be awesome, he is, his name is brad of all things, it’s such a simple name but he’s not simple at all, it would make my life better bc could at least have a proper go at love and it doesn’t matter bc i feel strong enough to be me in love
Any parting words?
After demon 23 i have to heal and move on and i get a chance at love and move on and the right person will heal me and I still can love the foster children, maybe could foster and once I realize my spiritual power, I won’t ever be afraid of being possessed again and everything my parents told me and Deacon Anders to me about corruption and vulnerability and maybe a compromised soul, i’ll know wasn’t true and i will be sure of my path wherever it leads me or at least i’ll be sure footed
Deacon Anders Interview
Tell me about yourself.
I’m a priest but I call myself Deacon Anders to make myself seem more humble, much like a black belt always calls himself a white belt because he’s constantly learning and should never advance towards a higher rank. I call myself Deacon Anders to remind everyone that as a priest I’m still learning. I have been passed over for bishop many many times and I find that very odd because I have actually performed a successful exorcism and I’ve made sure to go above and beyond and show that I can actually wield power over a demon which means i can summon hims and banish him, and I’m sorry, but I’ve never heard of a catholic priest that can do that, have you ever? I believe in God and I’m doing God’s work. I love being a priest. I love the ceremony of it, I love the power. I don’t like women or children.
Having to do with this journey, what are your strengths and weaknesses?
I have many strengths, I know bible front and back, pray everyday, l am living with the holy spirit, i give great rousing sermons and interpret the word of God for a modern day society, i run charities, huge parish and grown it two fold perform exorcism, summons demons, adequate command of the black arts as well as preaching a prayer and worship
I’m very very narrow-minded. I don’t like women and children, I’m two faced, I’m manipulative, I can make you think I care about you but i’m only doing that if i can use you i don’t really care about many people, i only care about advancing through the ranks of the church, So my weakness is i’m not very caring as a priest, don’t have a lot of love to give, and I lie and I practice the dark arts, so i’m hypocritical.
Why are you committed to making the Protagonist fail? Or for a relationship movie, why are you committed to making them change?
Bethany is evil, I truly believe that or at least i believe that, she’s sullied, like a spoiled bride. I would say her soul is probably already compromised, it’s probably already the Devil’s, I would say that she’s going to become possessed again or that she’s going to pass Demon 23 to someone unsuspecting person so I feel that she cannot find love, cannot make a connection, she should stay a spinster girl that doesn’t bother anyone in the world. Best case scenario, she kills herself, but it would look bad if the one care i was able to free from a demon, kills herself, so maybe not the best way to go, but must keep her reigned in she cannot bring her corruption into this world or mother somebody – could you imagine?
What do you get out of winning this fight / succeeding in your plan / taking down your competition?
I stop Bethany from harming anyone else, advance career, put myself on the map, become a cardinal or pope or have my own exorcist show and bc I control demons and can pick people to become possessed and control it that way. So many things I can do but mostly want to become a bishop and then proceed from there. But would love to become pope
What drives you toward your mission / agenda, even in the face of danger, ruin, or death?
My love of religious hierarchy. Also this is my calling. God put me on this earth to stop Bethany. I was once called to exorcize her. If anything I’m was set on the path to stop her and who knows what she could become, I suspect she has a power that hasn’t been discovered yet and if she taps into it who know what demons can come through her or into her or who knows, who knows what kind of sick psychotic beast she’ll become. She’s so pathetic too. Even if she didn’t have a demon, I would have abandoned her too honestly, she is just this sickly sweet girl, who has got a backbone already.
As for ruin or death I don’t think that’s going to happen obviously I’m the best of both worlds. I can control the darkness but I’m an agent of the light.
What secrets must you keep to succeed? What other secrets do you keep out of fear / insecurity
Obviously i have to make sure people don’t know i practice the dark arts and interact with a demon. Actually I really like Demon 23. He’s very charming , but I know he’s evil so I have to keep it separate but (a proud father who approves of his daughters significant other???) but i got to be very careful that nobody knows what I’m doing in regards to Bethany’s oppression
I’m worried sometimes about my religious piety. I mean I’ve been hanging around Bethany and she is a corruptor so I am a little bit worried about my ability to stay on my path and not be lost and i do not know why i have been overlooked for bishop and even though i don’t like most people -mostly women and children, i still act like i love them, little kids run up to me all the time and I hug them and I hate it but you’ll never know that from me, I’ll smile like the rest of them
Compared to other people like you, what makes you special?
Ambition, a lot of people think that priest have to be these humble little nobodies that just grovel and turn the other cheek and i don’t think you have to be, i think ambition is a sign of intelligence, of respect of what God has given you, i definitely think you should always try to strive for something. But that said, I have God on my side. And like I said, I’m a champion of the light but I can also wield the dark. It’s on think to have ambition, it’s another thing to have divinity on your side and darkness tucked in your back pocket. I’m a pretty powerful guy
What do you think of Bethany?
I just find her pathetic. I really think she is evil. An agent of chaos, I do see her as a means to an end for me in terms of getting what I want so I just play her. It’s almost a fun game for me. See how far off I can throw her from my actual agenda and how much she believes in me and how much she follows me and then she tells me all about her dating life and it is a disaster. It’s fun to hear and revel in some schadenfreude. She’s a delight only in that she’s an absolute train-wreck like in horrible reality tv. I guess I find her entertaining at least or at least her pain. I don’t really care about her.Do I think she’ll actually be repossessed again? I don’t know. Maybe, possibly yes. I think yes. She’s weak in a way that is problematic and my practice of dark magic is getting better. Bethany is just, I don’t know, I’ve been around her so long she’s almost like and after thought.
Tell me your side of this whole conflict / story.
Here this girl is and she’s possessed by a demon and don’t know what she did to have this happen, or if she was doing something with her hick father or I don’t know her hick brother – i don’t know what was going on. The demon was able to possess her which made me suspicious of her and I exorcize her but not fully and i knew that and she was ok i guess and then i started to realize that she was evil and i didn’t want her to go into the world, i didn’t want to cure her so to speak because I needed her to be under my thumb so i mentored her after she was abandoned and she became a social worker, working with foster children. I always endeavor to destroy her shot at love by always telling her potential bfs about her past and I make it sound terrible but that’s because I cannot let her drag somebody into Satan’s arms or procreate and make the anti-christ and Bethany would definitely be the person to give birth to. I should be recognized for my efforts, they’re valiant, and not only that I’m worthy of becoming bishop and pope, I mean I have battled evil, I can actually control evil. Tell me who else is better than me to run the church from the top – someone who knows what they are talking about.
4. Add any new info to your Character Profiles and share with us what you discovered about the characters.
I discover that Bethany and Deacon Anders have a twisted father-daughter type relationship and that Demon 23 is almost like the boyfriend that has father’s seal of approval. Deacon Anders also enjoys Bethany’s failed dating life and looks at it like reality TV. Also, Bethany thinks Demon 23 actually loves her and she will miss him when he’s gone.

Chuck Czech’s Character Interviews
What I learned — This was a very fun and productive exercise. I was surprised how much material came from the interview.
PROTAGONIST
Please tell me about yourself.
My name is Roman Cambridge, I’m 26 years old, and I’m a laboratory assistant on the Gibraltar project. My father Ronan Cambridge Senior started the Gibraltar project and hired me. I had many duties within the lab facility, mostly dealing with digital platform management, but when the explosion happened I was the only one left.
Why do you think you were called to this journey? Why you?
I was called to this journey because I was the only survivor of the explosion. That’s all there is to it. There was nobody else to move the capsule but me. I knew the Strangers were trying to open the capsule by remote control, so it needed to be relocated. Short moves don’t count. And there needs to be long intervals between stops. I’ve been moving the asset now for 945 days. I don’t think anyone else can do this task like me. I love cars, I love driving, and I don’t mind being alone.
You are up against Brendan. What is it about him that makes his journey even more difficult for you?
I am not competing against Brendan because he wants to solve the problem just like me. But I know he does not like me. He does not think I am good enough to handle this problem. What’s funny is that Brendan thinks everyone likes him, but that’s not true. They all act friendly, but they know Brendan does not tell the whole truth. So that might make it more difficult for me.
In order to survive or accomplish this, you are going to have to step way outside of your box. What changes do you expect to make and which of them will be the most difficult?
I have already made some very difficult decisions, and I’m very proud of the way I’ve been handling things. I don’t know what you mean by ‘step way outside my box’. I suppose it’s something that’s not typical for me. Nothing is typical for me. I concentrate on every task like it was new.
What habits or ways of thinking do you think will be the most difficult to let go off?
I have to think about that. My father once said, “when I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought like a child, but when I became fully grown I put the ways of childhood behind me.” I suppose that means I have to grow up be able to live on my own. Which I’ve been doing for the past 945 day, so I think I’m doing okay.
What fears, insecurities, and want to hold you back?
At one time I was afraid of being alone. But now I’m alone all the time, so I think I’m good there. I also didn’t think I was good enough to have a wife or girlfriend. Well… I made some very difficult decisions so maybe now I’m good enough. It’s really helpful that I found Paulina.
What skills, background, or expertise makes you well-suited to face this conflict or antagonist?
I’m very patient, and I pay attention to details. I’ve always been like that, even before the explosion. I love driving, and driving keeps the world safe.
What are you hiding from the other characters? Why don’t you want them to know?
Don’t tell anyone, but I have a friend who travels with me. He is a striped whiptail lizard who jumped in my car in the petrified forest. His name is Radar. Only I know about Radar. Someday I’ll show him to Paulina but for now he is my secret.
What do you think of Brendan?
You already asked me that question. (I asked what is it about Brendan that makes this journey more difficult.) Okay. I was happy when Brendan and Paulina found me. I was alone for a long time. Brendan makes decisions very quickly, even if they’re not good. He always wants to be doing something so he never really thinks. I like him, but I don’t know if anyone else does.
Tell me your side of this whole conflict/story.
I was in the Cold Room when the alarms went off. I could hear the ground rumble underneath my feet, so something bad happened in the laboratory. When I went there, everything was on fire. I saw many dead people. Joy, Travis, Ivan, Helena, Brandon. And then I saw my dad. He was not alive.
(long beat; edit to later in the interview)
I could tell the capsule was still active because its lights were flashing and its ducts were venting smoke. When the lights stopped flashing, I thought it was bad because six solid lights means a remote control lock. The Strangers were trying to open the capsule from their dimension. So I moved the capsule. And then I moved it again. And then I put it into my dad’s car and drove away. The Strangers will not be able to find me if I keep the car moving.
What does it do for your life if you succeed here?
If I do not succeed, I will not be living. Everyone will die. You will die. But if I succeed, then I’ll have a future.
Are you happy?
Happy? I’m not sure. What do you mean by happy? I’m satisfied now, but was very sad when I saw my dad’s dead body. But I knew he would worry about me, so I did all that I could to make sure he would be proud of me.
ANTAGONIST
Please tell me about yourself.
What do you want to know? (Just a thumbnail of who you are so our readers can understand where you’re coming from.) Certainly, but want to make clear that my responses are for this class only, right? That’s what we discussed and it needs to be on record. (Of course.) All right, then I’m chief security officer for the Gibraltar project. My background is a combination of military, public sector and private sector operations. I proven successful in all my posts. I was mostly interested in Gibraltar because so little was know about it.
Having to do with this journey, what are your strengths and weaknesses? A standard interview question. Strengths? I’m willing to take ultimate responsibility – anything that happens within my post is on me. Which puts the onus on me to place tight controls over every project. Weaknesses? What kind of question is that? Come on…
Why are you committed to making the protagonist fail? Now that’s a loaded question. Of course I’m not interested in making Ronan fail but in making the operation a success. Ronan’s done a fantastic job with what he’s got – limited information and limited ability to analyze problems. If I commit to anything it’s the preservation of life on earth and success of the mission. And that’s enough.
What do you get out of winning this fight or succeeding in your plan or taking down your competition? As I stated, my singular goal is the preservation of life on earth. I’ve seen one version of Earth fall and it’s not going to happen again. It might sound funny, but I’m very satisfied that I’m the man who’s been put into this position. I’m 110% confident in my abilities to render a successful outcome. Again, this is not about bringing Ronan down, but about solving a near impossible problem.
What drives you toward your mission or agenda, even in the face of danger, ruin, or death?
Preservation of life on earth – how many times do I have to say it? It’s the greatest assignment of all time. I’m honored to be at the right place at the right time — well, I had to jump the multiverse to be here. And God help us all if I fail. (You mentioned you saw the fall of Earth in another dimension — doesn’t that constitute a failure.) Let’s move on.
What secrets must you keep to succeed? What other secrets do you keep out of fear or insecurity?
You should know that as security specialist would never reveal fears or insecurities. Only a fool would not have fear in my situation but it’s not what drives me. Secrets? I don’t know how to respond to that. I do my job to the best of my abilities utilizing any resource on hand, and then I go home at the end of the day knowing that I’ve done my part.
Compared to other people like you, what makes you special?
I’m not special. I’m not better than any of my peers – and that says a lot because I’ve faced stiff competition in every phase of my career. If you want an answer that question, just look at my résumé. And know that I’ve had many wash excesses that are not publicly locked.
What do you think of Ronan?
He’s a good kid, and I admire his dedication. Nobody I know would have taken it upon himself to do what he did — what, drive three years straight to keep the asset hidden? He’s the wild card in this Earth. He made the salient difference. But he’s far surpassed his talents. Time to toss the hot potato to someone else.
Tell me your side of this whole conflict or story. How much detail are you looking for? I enacted more than adequate safeguards for the execution of the Gibraltar experiment. But when research personnel decided to proceed outside the project parameters, the game was changed — I wasn’t able to administer appropriate security upgrades. This led us to be tricked, then compromised. That’s what happens when you stray from the prescribed path. And it led to the downfall of Earth. Well, my Earth. There’s no way in hell that I’m going to let that happen again. I’m going to take control of the situation, assemble a team, set up a new strategy, and send the damned thing back to where it came from.

Suzanne Baird – Character Interviews
What did I learn? It took me some time to answer all these questions. I realize that in the past, my characters felt superficial because, well, they were, and I’m eager to discover something more interesting about them. I want to dig into their behaviors more, and maybe that will help reveal them more fully. I’m not sure how to change the profile. Might need some help with that. I feel it is pretty close to the original profile.
QUESTIONS FOR YOUR PROTAGONIST – Daria
Tell me about yourself. I grew up not far from here. I met my husband in Highschool. We were in love! And I got pregnant. When we had Tre, we were just getting by. Mike had a job delivering for a furniture company. A good company, so we got health insurance. My plan was to finish school, and I did. I went to Junior College, and my mom would help out with Tre. He was so beautiful. The prettiest baby you’d ever want to see.
Why do you think you were called to this journey? Why you? One night when mom was watching Tre, and I was at school, a bunch of cops came to our door. A stray bullet shot Michael. It was insane. He was returning the truck to the yard and walking back to his car to come home. He was coming home. The cops said a car sped past him trying to shoot some guy that was on the sidewalk, and Michael got in the middle. The cops said they just sprayed the sidewalk with bullets. There were marks all over the wall. Michael didn’t have a chance.
Tre was 3 when his dad died. I almost had my degree when I had to find a job. It as about four years ago, Tre was playing with his friends, football. They were all going to the NFL. He got hit by a big kid. Knocked out. We took him to the emergency room. He seemed fine. The doctor saw him, checked his eyes, told me not to let him go to sleep, and he’d be fine. We didn’t have insurance yet, so the best thing was to bring him home. I stayed with him all night. In the morning, he was sick, and we went back to the emergency room. We waited and waited. He passed out in the emergency room. By the time he was in the hospital, something had happened to his brain. A blood clot had burst. He never woke up after that.
The Universe, god, something was telling me to do something with my life! I was angry, and I was sad, and the 2 most important people were now gone. I was frustrated. After I got done with the “why me’s” and got no answer there, I decided to figure out if it happened to me, then it’s happened to others with healthcare, gun laws all the things we vote for. That was when I met Stephanie at the hotel.
You are up against <the Antagonist>. What is it about them that makes this journey even more difficult for you? Senator Monroe is supposed to speak for us. But it only takes a small about of digging to discover; he’s not voting for our good; he’s voting for his. He’s been there for 3, or 4 terms, and now he owes people and Citizens United just allows more and more money to be shoveled his way so he’s reelected regardless of him doing what he should—corporations as people; that’s Bullshit!
In order to survive or accomplish this, you are going to have to step way outside of your box. What changes do you expect to make and which of them will be the most difficult? The hardest will be telling my story in public. Speaking in public. I am insecure, I guess. I’m not a social media person, but I know how people get tracked and intimidated. That will be hard.
But this is my new vocation. I am not going to be the victim here. This is the one thing I can do that will let their deaths not be in vain. I’m tired of just thinking of my pain. It’s time to help others, so I’ll take my weird personality and anger and not rest til we figure this out!
What habits or ways of thinking do you think will be the most difficult to let go of? It goes against my grain to be loud or public. I’m a pleaser. That shit’s gotta go!
What fears, insecurities and wounds have held you back? The deaths of Tre and Michale fuel me. I never thought I was very smart. After I talked with Stephanie at the hotel and we got to know each other, I can hold my own. I read a lot, and I remember most of it. Now I just need to apply it. I might look stupid, but no one else is making a difference. Why not me?
What skills, background, or expertise makes you well-suited to face this conflict or antagonist? Nothing really. I know how to work til I drop, and I can learn and I care about this.
What are you hiding from the other characters? What don’t you want them to know? I’m always a bit embarrassed about being poor, not going to college. General insecurities. It’s like a vein you can press on. It’s where I feel vulnerable.
What do you think of <the Antagonist>? I was hoping he’d work for us. Be a good guy, but it’s clear he’s a sell-out. I’m glad I figured it out before it was too late.
Tell me your side of this whole conflict/story. My side? Why aren’t we doing more as a society? Why isn’t doing the right this the first choice? I’m trying to shed light on a government with a slanted view of the value of elections. I thought after the Trump stuff, we’d all wake up, but it’s weird that it’s still going on. Our rights are being taken. It’s like abortion 61% of Americans say it should be legal, but the courts say otherwise. Why is that? It starts on a local level. The public is being misled and lied to through these 501C3s.
What does it do for your life if you succeed here? On some level, it’s penance. How could I let my son die? How is it that my husband was taken away? Laws are made to protect the fabric of society. I’m not sure what success looks like. Maybe it’s getting campaign finance reform in all 50 states?
Ask any other questions about their character profile that will help you. Tell me what you do when you need strength. When I’m stressed, I eat Gummie Bears, then I feel guilty, and I run. 7, sometimes 10 miles, even after working all day. That movement works for me.

George Tedino
Character Interviews
What did I learn about this assignment?
a little of what makes my characters tick.
Interview with George (protagonist)

Joy Geldard-Smith’s Character Interviews
What I learned doing this assignment is… That while I was a bit reluctant to do this, it’s actually been quite helpful in making me think through the characters motivations and making them into more 3D people, with flaws and contradictions.
1. Listen to the Empowerment Audio. – DONE
2. Pull out the character profiles for your protagonist and antagonist.
3. Then interview each character, knowing that they will answer any questions you ask. As you interview them, allow them to tell you their experience.
I’m writing a romcom, so both my lead characters are antagonist and protagonist, so I thought I’d better do them both to get to know them both better.
Protagonist Questions – Madison
<div>
</div>Tell me about yourself.
What do you want to know? I’m Madison, I live in Miami. I’m an accountant living in an arts city, and I do what lots of people consider to be the most boring job imaginable.
<div>
</div>Why do you think you were called to this journey? Why you?
I guess part of it was being in the right place at the right time. But how did I get there? I started to write stand-up comedy after everyone told me I was boring. I watched a lot of stand-up comics in my early teens, and really loved it, but that passion got lost among all the studying for accountancy exams, and school. I went to a show recently with a friend (who often calls me boring) and realised what I’d been missing out on. I wanted to reignite that creative spark, and ended up locked in a puzzle room with Jose!
<div>
</div>You are up against Jose. What is it about them that makes this
journey even more difficult for you?Everything! He’s pretentious, an attention hog, always performing to someone. I don’t know if he even believes half of what he says sometimes. In most imaginable ways, we are opposite.
<div>
</div>In order to survive or accomplish this, you are going to have to
step way outside of your box. What changes do you expect to make and which
of them will be the most difficult?The first change I had to make was working with Jose. Then when I found out he’d been live-streaming the whole thing I was even more furious – and with the girl who put me into the room. I did consider suing for a second but she looked so upset. Jose’s manager convinced me to keep working for Jose because of the money – if I can build up a nest egg through this, I can quit my job sooner and then concentrate more on my comedy and not have to be an accountant anymore. I’ll have to change my mindset – I love having a regular wage – and I will need to really dig deep when I start performing, but it will be worth it.
<div>
</div>What habits or ways of thinking do you think will be the most difficult
to let go of?The analyst and numerate side of me, and the beliefs that have become ingrained because of other people repeatedly telling me them. That accountants are boring, that I’m boring, that I can’t be creative.
<div>
</div>What fears, insecurities and wounds have held you back?
I was scared of letting my parents down – they always wanted what was best for me, and in a lot of ways, being an accountant is best for me. But the novelty has worn off, and I don’t enjoy it anymore. I was ahead of all my friends in making money, but they’re starting to catch me up and they all seem happier in their careers. I feel stuck with my job and with the reputation I’ve got of being called boring. I didn’t use to be boring, I’m sure.
I’ve had boyfriends before, longer term, but it never worked out. The last three I’ve had have dumped me after about 6 months and have all said that I’m too boring. That really hurts. Two of them didn’t even cheat on me, but just dumped me because I was boring.
<div>
</div>What skills, background or expertise makes you well-suited to face
this conflict or antagonist?It’s more my future that makes me ready to face a life with Jose. I’ve known arty people before and got along well with them, but was pushed into the corporate world of accountancy by my parents then drawn in by money. In some ways, my corporate background gives me business sense that Jose doesn’t have, and also my sense of humour is needed as an antidote to Jose’s pretentiousness.
<div>
</div>What are you hiding from the other characters? What don’t you want
them to know?I’m scared of letting Jose see the real me because I think he’ll think I’m boring (like everyone else has). I’m scared of everyone else seeing how I feel about Jose because they want me to have a nice secure life as an accountant and would not want me to be with an artist.
<div>
</div>What do you think of Jose?
At what point in time? At first, I thought he was a giant douchebag, super pretentious and kinda uptight. Then he had to ask for my help and I got to know him a bit better, and found out that some of that is an act. I see that there’s more to him now and he’s helped me be honest with myself about my own desire to perform and be creative. I don’t think I’ll keep doing the puzzle rooms with him forever, but I can see a personal future for us.
<div>
</div>Tell me your side of this whole conflict / story.
It all started when I took a sickie from work to go to the puzzle room. Yes, it’s logic and reason, but that’s different from accounting and it’s also creative thinking. Instead of getting teamed up with a bunch of people and doing a normal room, I got locked in with the douchebag version of Jose. I guess he was nervous doing the performance for the first time but he was a real pain in the ass. Then when I got out of the room his manager told me the whole thing had been livestreamed.
Then I got fired.
Then Jose flopped when he did a room on his own, so his manager persuaded me to work on another room with him. I had to talk him up to a 50% cut though, it was insulting. Plus I need the money because I have a ton of debt and haven’t managed my finances well.
So we got thrown into this confined space and I guess we worked out a few issues. His manager then suggested taking it on tour, so we spent more time together and I discovered that Jose is actually really thoughtful and intelligent and really is a true artist.
No one approved of what I was doing, but all the time I spent travelling gave me time to work on my stand-up, though admittedly that was harder now I was a little bit famous. I can’t believe someone recognised me at my first gig. I guess that might not have happened if Jose hadn’t been there too, but he was trying to support me, so I forgive him.
Then it looked like the idiot was going to go completely backwards and start dating his college professor again – the woman who completely broke his heart – but thankfully his manager made him see sense.
Not long after that, we got together, which made absolutely no sense. It felt completely right though. Then on Valentine’s Day we did a puzzle together and he proposed. I said yes!
<div>
</div>What does it do for your life if you succeed here?
If I succeed here, I have a chance to change everything. I will be loved by an amazing artist who will appreciate my creativity and won’t call me boring, and I will have a life full of love, acceptance and will be living up to my potential.
<div>
</div>Ask any other questions about their character profile that will
help you.Antagonist Questions – Jose
<div>
</div>Tell me about yourself.
I’m Jose, I’ve lived in Miami all my life and I’m an artist. I’m lucky to have come from a large, loving family that was well off enough that I could study art and pursue something I loved. All my siblings are more successful than me, and I think I’m actually a bit of a disappointment to my parents. I know they support me doing something I love and they definitely want me to be happy but I know they would want me to be successful too – at least, more successful than I am at the moment.
<div>
</div>Having to do with this journey, what are your strengths and
weaknesses?I’m very exacting about certain things, which is both a strength and a weakness. I have a certain vision for what I want to do and that’s what I have to be true to. My weakness is my current position within my career, it’s precarious and I don’t want to end up working as a barista. I’m determined, and that is definitely a strength.
<div>
</div>Why are you committed to making Madison change?
Although I was hugely annoyed to have some random woman locked in the room with me, I immediately noticed that she did have some kind of spark. She was annoying and very disrespectful of my art and my process, but once I got to know her, I understood more about her motivation and her desire to change and actually be a creative person too, which she is. I can’t let her go back to being an wage-slave accountant. The world needs creative people and it also needs to laugh.
<div>
</div>What do you get out of winning this fight / succeeding in your plan
/ taking down your competition?I get to be an artist in my own right. I get to be loved by an amazing woman that also lets me be my own artist, instead of getting all up in my vision and messing around with my plans. I get my life back, but better, because Madison is now part of it.
<div>
</div>What drives you toward your mission / agenda, even in the face of
danger, ruin, or death?My mission is to stay away from danger, ruin and death! I need to prove myself to my parents and to my ex (college professor who said I was talentless). I need to prove myself to all the people that believed in me and backed me as well. Art is a really subjective thing and I know I’ll never please everyone, but I do need enough acclaim to validate my talent and keep a roof over my head.
<div>
</div>What secrets must you keep to succeed? What other secrets do you
keep out of fear / insecurity?I need to keep a lot of secrets to succeed, especially from Madison. I need to not let her know how amazing she is, or she’ll desert the puzzle room tour and I won’t be successful. I don’t want her to know that I like maths, otherwise she’ll try and recruit me to be an accountant. I have to keep the secret of my college professor because, well, what if it is true?
What if the only talent I have is in my looks and my pants? What if I’m not actually cut out to be an artist at all? Then what? My whole life so far has been a waste and has led up to nothing.
<div>
</div>Compared to other people like you, what makes you special?
I have the talent and the grit it takes to do this. I’ll compromise to get my art out there – I’ll even work with Madison. While I have had times when I’ve felt like a tortured artist, I refuse to be a stereotype. I’m also Latino, which brings a different perspective to my art. There aren’t enough contemporary Latino artists out there, and I want our voice to be heard.
<div>
</div>What do you think of Madison?
I love her, now. Initially I didn’t. It’s not that I hated her, although I hated the circumstance that we met. As soon as I watched back some of the footage from the performance, I could see that she really had something. I guess I just didn’t notice it at first because I was so focussed on making my art and my performance. She is just as creative as I am, in a different medium, and I’m determined to spend the rest of my life making her value that. She is not boring!
<div>
</div>Tell me your side of this whole conflict / story.
So, there I am, ready to start the most important part of my career to date, and in walks this buttoned up office worker. Distracting? Just a bit. Does she acknowledge that? Nope.
OK, so I wasn’t completely honest with her about the livestreaming, but how was I supposed to predict that she’d get fired? I didn’t know the whole thing would explode in the way it did, and I really did apologise to her sincerely once I’d calmed down.
The next show I did bombed, and then somehow my manager got her to show up to the next one. Somehow we worked well together, and the ratings improved. I got another sponsor. After our third show together, my manager suggested that we take the show on the road, as there were loads of fans that wanted to meet us, and loads of room designers that wanted us to work their rooms.
I got to know Madison better and found out that she’s not just some office drone, she is genuinely funny and loveable. And I thought I was falling for her, but then my ex/college professor showed up, and was really good to me, and something about that whole relationship just felt right. There were lots of doors that she could open for me that I’d really like to walk through.
But Madison reminded me about how it ended before, which was painful, and she made me realise that we’re not made to go back, we’re meant to go forward. Especially as an artist, I have to live and grow and evolve, and you don’t do that by going back to a fling you had when you were 20.
Now I’m supporting Madison and she’s supporting me, and we’re together but professionally separate and we’re both doing amazing. I proposed to her during the Valentine’s Day puzzle room, and I can’t wait to start our new life together.

Iliona’s Character Interviews
“What I learned doing this assignment is that I gave them a voice fir the first time and I now know how they talk. I know the language they use. I now have a real feel of their personalities and character traits. Knowing how they talk will help me with the dialogue”
<div>
<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>1. <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>Tell me about yourself.
If I have to be honest, the first thing I should start with is the fact that I am broke. Not just broke but like brokeee. That’s all I can think about lately. Honestly I don’t know if it’s my fault or if I’m just the unluckiest guy on earth. Never once in my life things turned out exactly how I wanted. So I stopped wishing a long long time ago. My wife also left me. I should say my “ex wife! She thinks I’m a loser and that I never knew how to love her. I’m apparently not very good at showing love. That’s among a lot of other things I am apparently not good at. And because I wasn’t always able to pay for child support she only let me see my daughter once a month. Yes I have a daughter. She’s the light of my life. <font face=”inherit”>I wish she would never miss anything in her life. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth if you know what I mean. If only I was rich, things </font>would<font face=”inherit”> be so different. I wish I could win the lottery or something. I’m sure if I had money all my problems would be solved. How can you be happy when you’re broke? Nobody would miss me if I was kidnapped or shit. Sometimes I wonder if the </font>government doesn’t intentionally fuck up people’s life so they get broke and unhappy. I’ve read a lot of conspiracies shit and I think there’s a lot of suspicious shit happening. Sorry I say shit a lot but that’s how I feel. I feel like shit. My mom would kill me for using that word. You know I was never allowed to curse as a child. It was against the rules. Yeah I grew up with a lot of rules and belief about god and heaven but I don’t believe in anything. I think it’s all made up bullshit to sell the Bible. Btw I am wondering who gets the profits for this book. Seriously, where does the money go to? Probably one of those satanic families that rule the world. So there’s no bible in my house. My mom says that’s why I am lost. My boss also says I’m lost. No actually he didn’t say it like this. He said that I lost it. I am a car seller and I haven’t sold a car in weeks. Do I talk too much? I’ve been told that many times.
<div>
2. Why do you think you were called to this journey? Why you?
I might have insulted someone up there and they’re trying to make a point. Why would I be offered $1M a day? Why me? Why would she change my life like this. I don’t know you tell me. I don’t understand why she picked me? I’m the most unbeliever guy on this planet. Oh maybe I did something good at some point in my life. Or maybe I’m just the luckiest motherfucker on earth after all. I’m leaving the dream.
3. You are up against <the Antagonist>. What is it about them that makes this journey even more difficult for you?
<font face=”inherit”>I never met any magician in my life. Like real </font>magic<font face=”inherit”> shit not like Las Vegas fake cards tricks. I don’t know if she’s a magician or a witch. And if </font>she’s<font face=”inherit”> a </font>witch is she a good or bad witch? I’m spending all that money but I am scared you know. She told me what would happen if I didn’t spend it. She freaks me out.
4. In order to survive or accomplish this, you are going to have to step way outside of your box. What changes do you expect to make and which of them will be the most difficult?
Step way outside of my box? Madam, I am fucking rich now. I don’t know that box and now I need to survive being rich. It’s like my richness is a big joke. I’m not supposed to talk about it but it’s a fucking spell you know. Like a poisoned lottery ticket. I’ll do everything to survive. I know I said early that nobody would miss me if I disappeared but I have a daughter you know. I don’t want to fuck her up. I love her too much. So for her I’ll do anything. Don’t judge me.
5. What habits or ways of thinking do you think will be the most difficult to let go of?
I am a rich man. I’ve never been rich so I have stop thinking like a poor guy. I don’t know how rich people think. I’ve never met any.
6. What fears, insecurities and wounds have held you back?
I’ve always been told that I am no good enough by my parents, my friends, my co-workers and even my teachers at school told me that. I don’t think I deserve to be happy. It’s not my fault if I was broke you know. It’s the system. I didn’t chose this.
7. What skills, background or expertise makes you well-suited to face this conflict or antagonist?
I don’t have any specific skills and definitely no expertise but I’ll figure it out. I don’t the choose anyways.
8. What are you hiding from the other characters? What don’t you want them to know?
The truth obviously. I can never tell them or let them figure out where this sudden money comes from. Otherwise it will be the end of me. That’s what I signed up for. That’s part of the pact I made with the witch.
9. What do you think of <the Antagonist>?
I am not sure what to think of her but she kind of freaks me out. If she’s capable of that she’s capable of everything. She does black magic shit.
10. <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>Tell me your side of this whole conflict / story.
I got was I asked for. I was complaining about being broke and wishing to be rich. She said she could make my dream come true but I know this money can get me killed too. I knew what was coming. Spending that much money is not that easy and I didn’t realize that. Now I feel like I am fucked<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>
<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>11. What does it do for your life is you succeed here?
I can have my daughter back and finally be happy. I just want to be with her, you know. I miss her.<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>
<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>
<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>THE AFRICAN WITCH
1. Tell me about yourself.
Well, I can say I have supernatural abilities. I do things and I see things that most humans can’t. You can call me a witch, a magician or an enchantress but I am just a life guide really.
2. Having to do with this journey, what are your strengths and weaknesses?
I can take different apparences, I read mind, I can see the future, my powers are limitless. The only thing I can’t do is bring a dead person back to life.
3. <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>Why are you committed to making the Protagonist fail? Or for a relationship movie, why are you committed to making them change?
I want to prove to him that he’s responsible of his own happiness and money was never the reason why he couldn’t be happy. I want him to live its best life. But he also need to understand money greediness comes with a curse. Money is supposed to be shared and make many people happy. He can’t just keep it for himself .<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>
<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>4. What do you get out of winning this fight / succeeding in your plan / taking down your competition?
It will be another soul I saved. I am a savior. I put people on their right path. And if they sin, I’m here to help them remember.<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>
<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>5. What drives you toward your mission / agenda, even in the face of danger, ruin, or death?
This mission is what I was sent for. I am meant to help people and offer them a 2nd chance in life. I want him to believe that everything is possible.<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>
<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>6. <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>What secrets must you keep to succeed? What other secrets do you keep out of fear / insecurity?
He doesn’t know I am his guardian angel and I know everything about him
<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>7. Compared to other people like you, what makes you special?
Have you ever met someone with my powers? So you have your answer. My spells change lives
<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>8. What do you think of <the Protagonist>?
Despite the fact his life is catastrophic at the moment, he has a good heart and deserves to be helped. He deserves a 2nd chance in life .Jared has been blaming everyone and everything for years. He is convinced that because he grew up poor, he is set to die poor. He’s convinced that money is the key to happiness so I need to let him experience it and see what comes out of it. <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>
<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>9. Tell me your side of this whole conflict / story.
Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it. That is what I am proving to Jared. Wishing to be a millionaire can just ruin your life. People love to complain but you can’t blame others for your unhappiness and especially not when you’re rich. I am like Aladdin, I make wishes come true, but with each wish comes a curse.<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>

Renee’s Character Interviews
What I learned… again this is a rewrite for me. I enjoyed the questions as they revealed more about the characters I fell in love with. A great opportunity for enhancement.
My Protag shows much more emotion. He will go from confident but naive to nervous and struggling with cluelessness until he bursts, ending with his confidence back but wiser.
My first Antag is Very full of emotion. His emotion starts the story and keeps it going. If I do this correctly the audience should be able to look back and see how he carefully (with a few calculated mis-steps) disguised himself.
My second Antag – I Love, Love, Love him. He is So Cool, So Calculating and On and So Very Handsome. Who wouldn’t be taken by him? Again if done correctly, the audience should be able to look back and see how he disguised himself.
This assignment is again very good to refresh secondary characters also.
