PERSONAS (Characters) 

* Darren (The Writer) - Confident, self-proclaimed leader of the group. He's too busy worry about other people to figure out what's wrong with his own life.

* Winston (The Contemplator) - Winston thinks too much. So to avoid constantly thinking, Winston speaks in long blurbs/monologues, to fill the awkward silence.

* Pandora (The Horse Trainer) - Pandora is pregnant but shows no signs of being so. She doesn't want to have her baby because she doesn't want it to grow up, in her opinion, in a tainted world.

* Lucky (The Unlucky) - Lucky is convinced that the world is against him. So he lives his life constantly fearing the possibility of something unlucky happening to him.

* Richard - Logical. There are things called “checks and balances” and he believes wholeheartedly in that. It takes quite a bit for him to concede in an argument. Ultimately, he wants to use his logic for good.

* Janelle - Realistically optimistic. She believes that hard work will eventually result in positive outcomes. She loves being the person to bring people back to reality, even if that means conceding to an argument.
