9 roles
A Young-Hot headed detective, a rookie detective cop. He blindly believes in the system (The Law) and that it truly has the best interest of the common people in mind. He is jock-like in that he is well built and fit- he is as committed to the force as he is a loose cannon. He’ll be the first to chase a crook down and rush into a gunfight- if he believes it is for the greater good.
Spade is a jaded and crooked cop. A greasy was, who despite having a deep and stinging sense of shame- there is also a sense of pride. He is quieter, calmer, and slower- however there is calculation to his movement. He has been in the force for decades, and starting his career in the 30's he is familiar with every corner of the city and everyone who is in it. His views are much more grey, he will actively deal with criminals, and has lost partners, friends and family to the system.
Yan is a skilled gunfighter and member of one of the Triads in Chinatown. Together with his partner in crime- Nico they make a deadly duo. However with the morality of their actions, and with growing love, they desire to live and escape the circles they have found themselves ensnared in.
