4 roles

JawboneMale15-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A boy, around 15, will go down any rabbit hole to find an adventure and solve a problem. He is tech-savvy, always with a backpack full of gadgets and prepper tools. But he’s also an overthinker. His solutions are overly complicated. And he is so driven and self-righteous, he often ignores risks to himself, his sister, and his friends.

PunkFemale13-13 y.o.All ethnicities

A girl, around 13, Jawbone’s sister. She is an artist, a drawer, obsessed with animals and the wild. She has colored hair, animal-patterned wardrobe, and marker tattoos of mythical beasts on her hands. She is undersized but strong in spirit. She feels connected to her brother, wants to be his equal but always lags behind. She cannot resist an adventure, whether invited or not.

SarahFemale15-15 y.o.All ethnicities

A girl, around 15, is smart, righteous and rational. She is intrigued by Jawbone’s adventures but would prefer doing them in her own calculated way, skeptical of his calculations and seeing risks that the rest of the group does not.

CooperMale15-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A boy, around 15, is good-natured, full of energy, and loyal. He dresses in a hoodie, sweatpants, and crocs. He will join any adventure, never taking things too seriously, never really showing fear of consequences or actual danger
