Details:

Character Profiles:
Jim:
Jim is a man in his late 20s/early 30s, quite weathered looking with prominent features which emphasise his facial expressions. He is around 6 foot and has let himself go a bit after he found out he had a fatal illness, yet he is still slim, but pale, gloomy bags under his eyes weigh him down and he has lost interest in how he presents himself to others. His clothes are not torn or dirty, but scruffy and worn carelessly, almost as if he doesn\'t care about other peoples opinions anymore, these things are pointless to him now. He is wearing bland colours, faded shades of light brown, dirty creamy colours, grey, black and white, but interestingly he sports an expensive, high-street branded watch. A time-piece, it sits oddly on his wrist; to him it\'s just a reminder that he possibly doesn\'t have much time left.
If you saw Jim walking down the street, you wouldn\'t think much of him; just another pen-pusher who\'s job has took it\'s toll on him. He has succumbed to this style of life to provide for himself and his family and as a consequence, removed any idea of what it was like to have fun in his life. Yet lingering in the back of his mind, his family represent to him why it is necessary to carry on, he does love them. Things around him are a constant reminder of this (this will be conveyed in the script); he is a family man and this is the one thing that drives him forward, but knowing that he could soon lose the power to provide, he is at an all time low, stuck in an introvert abyss of thought, struggling to escape.

Occupation: Office Worker
Age: Late 20s/Early 30s (Flexible)
Personality Traits: Glum, Miserable, Introvert, Slightly Awkward

Libby:
Libby is a young woman (Late teens/early 20s), a pretty looking girl, however she is wearing a hefty amount of make-up which looks amateurishly applied. She\'s wearing a blue cardigan with a crudely stitched horse and her arm sits in awkwardly encased medical plaster with some sort of metal apparatus holding it outwards. She is bubbly, with a fidgety and sprightly personality. She has an infectious smile, the type to make even the grumpiest of people smile against their will. She isn\'t all joyful and happiness; she just chooses to see to be happy and focus on the positive rather than the negative, even when the negative is inevitable. She has a silver linings attitude, a very sociable person but not in a bitchy way; she wouldn\'t hurt a fly. But something about her personality tells us there is a reason for this, her life hasn\'t been all sunshine and rainbows, experience has affected her attitude. How an older person should share their wisdom with a younger person, there seems to be a role-reversal in this situation, Libby speaks in daft and naïve tones, yet she has a philosophical thought process and shouldn\'t be undermined or mistaken for a bimbo. An almost exact foil for Jim, it shouldn\'t be seen as a generic juxtaposition, because it has it\'s reasons, Libby has already been through what Jim is going through.

Occupation: Student
Age: Late Teens/Early 20s
Personality Traits: Bubbly, Energetic, Confident, Fidgety, Sprightly, (Possibly slightly outspoken)
