Cast Me As...

Sarcastic and Witty Joker

Quick with his retorts and on his feet, he isn't necessarily malicious, but deals with stress with humor and sarcasm

The Kind and Level-Headed Friend

The type you can call at 3am while stuck at the airport or who you can pull aside in your lowest moments for a heart to heart, but he isn't a pushover, and will tell the group not to split up when a serial killer is on the loose

Cold and Resourceful Nomad

Charismatic and Articulate Roamer

An independent problem-solver, this wandering soul is intelligent and resourceful, but also jaded and cynical by the harsh environment and past relationships

Cool, Calm, and Collected with a right amount of charm and wit, this man can talk himself out of sticky situations but also has a physicality of not being afraid of getting dirty to achieve his objective

Young Military Soldier

Whether in the modern day or period piece, this bright faced soldier finds himself caught in the middle of history

Tim is wearing a period Second Sino-Japanese War / WWII Chinese Nationalist (Kuomintang) uniform with a German m35 Helmet

Deceptive Wildcard

An unexpected darker, ruthless, and unpredictable side that is hidden underneath smiles and a friendly demeanor

AND MUCH MUCH MORE!
