[QUOTE="Dracomeander, post: 2984507, member: 20009"] Here's the intial stab at my character concept. Might still want to flesh out a bit more of the background. Ryan Chase, 34 year-old caucasian Insurance Agent and semi-professional Thespian. Background: [sblock]Ryan grew up in a family that liked outdoor sports and was introduced to hunting and fishing at a very young age. He did enjoy those activities with his family, but when he hit his teens and didn't develope the physique to be competative at the popular team sports, he started looking around for other activities in school. That is where he discovered his knack, and learned an enjoyment, for live theatre. His natural presence and general popularity lead him into student government where he developed contacts that insured his finding a good college to continue to develope his theatrical talents. In college, he discovered his was not the only talent that could perform the parts he wanted and realized he needed to work to understand all aspects of the theatre. He applied himself not only to improving his presence on stage but to also learning the various skills needed backstage to create a production. During his brief vacations, he still enjoyed meeting his family for time in the wilderness fishing and hunting, but now his hunting was done with a camera since he couldn't get away from the stage during the actual hunting seasons. Upon graduating college, Ryan applied himself trying to make it as a professional actor. Of course with acting not being the most reliable of professions, he supplemented his income with retail sales, restaurant wait staff positions, and unskilled construction jobs. Finally, he discovered insurance sales gave him a job where he could take advantage of his ability to deal with people and have enough time to spend in theatrical endeavors. Realizing he was never going to break into the top tier of actors, he finally took a position in the insurance company in a metropolitan area with a respectable community theatre and has spent the past four years integrating himself into both the community and the theatre.
