the CHARACTERS
owen haag
Owen Haag comes off as a bit shy, but gets particularly passionate about fighting (honorably, of course). He takes up boxing classes after attending a fight club. Despite hardships, Owen often has a positive outlook on life and is someone who forgives easily. Owen was born and raised in L.A., is nineteen years old, and loves baseball and cats.
BALE AKRON
Bale Akron may be taller than your boyfriend, but honestly he's just a big ole' teddy bear. June, his beautiful wife and number one priority, often attests to this. His garden, good food, and his friends are also essential staples in his life...in that order. While not likely to pick a fight, you can always bet on him to finish one.
GENEVIEVE FANG
It's hard being a young, successful action movie star, but Gen makes it look easy. She prides herself on her independence and relies on very few people. Even though she tries to come off cool and collected, she often finds herself fumbling in social situations especially with the ones she cares most about.
MARCUS HIROTAKA
For "Marcus Hirotaka", shades, a leather jacket, and his tattoos are essential to his look. His default demeanor is cool, but he is easily riled up about manly things like fighting, blood and friendship. His priority is to push people to their limits because he knows from experience that the best parts of people can come out of the adrenaline pumped
moments of life.
moments of life.
ADRIAN CONNOR
Adrian helps out at the boxing gym as a medic and physical therapist. He always seem to shine, but don't mistake that smile for fragility. He's straightforward, honest, and has the ability to incapacitate just as much as he can heal.
JEFF SANTOS
Jeff is Bale's self-proclaimed best friend, whether the big guy agrees or not. He's got a heart of gold, a smile as wide as a mile, and a punch that feels like a soft pillow. But don't underestimate him, Jeff's got a whole lot of potential, he's optimistic, and he's fast on his feet!
art coming soon.
JUNE AKRON
June is a go-getter and thinks the best type of project is one that's done. The second best? The one that's in progress. That's why she's a successful writer and cat mom. Oh, and also, she's married to Bale who is very lucky to have her.
