6 role s

TIM CAMERONMale28-32 y.o.All ethnicities

He is a likable guy that spends most of his energy trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up. In high school, he had top marks and excelled at sports, but those early accolades still haven't translated into a fancy or fulfilling career. After a string of semi-successful and downright failed entrepreneurial efforts, he's broke. He joins his old friend Vanessa at a utility line locating job that he feels is beneath him.

VANESSA VALLEYFemale27-31 y.o.All ethnicities

She is a respected and popular locator who also acts as Tim's 'guide' in this new world he finds himself in. Despite being Proflag's top earning locator, she knows deep down she's given up on her dreams and settled at Proflag, just like she has with a boyfriend that can't see past his own vanity. Tim's constant expression of dissatisfaction with his current situation causes defensive reactions from Vanessa reactions that might signify that an internal battle is flaring up.

DAVID WELLERMale37-41 y.o.All ethnicities

He is a 9th generation locator from England. His work, and sense of decency are as sloppy as his appearance. He'll do anything to make a buck. David's sketchy ways and unfounded arrogance will cause him a lot of trouble throughout his career, and ultimately cost him his job... several times. His main aim in life is to regain the love of his ex-wife, and have his family back together.

JAMES SHETTYMale37-41 y.o.All ethnicities

He is the ambitious general manager of Proflag, a position he's in solely because his aunt owns the company. He's well-spoken, poised and collected until his stress levels start to rise, which happens easily, and often. Under pressure or duress, James quickly becomes pouty, petulant, extremely anxious and prone to lashing out.

PETER "JENS" JENSENMale43-47 y.o.All ethnicities

He is Proflag's work quality auditor, a position he takes very seriously, much to the chagrin of every locator, or manager, that makes a mistake. He's not a company man, nor is he a man of the people. His work is driven solely by his unwavering sense of integrity and a strict adherence to quality. Don't be fooled by the fact that he's a serious and robotic guy at work, outside of work he's actually a very friendly and robotic guy with some Interesting hobbies.

GERALD FERNSBYMale48-52 y.o.All ethnicities

He is the trainer at Proflag, as well as a locator himself. A stock market millionaire, Gerald still works at Proflag because he likes the feeling of being depended upon by the trainees as they learn to locate. Gerald wears giant rubber boots, thick coke bottle glasses, and slips a lot, even when it isn't slippery. A former teacher, he has an old-school attitude towards discipline, and an over-the-top training style that often puts his trainees in danger.
