Representation

The main characters in our film will be:

Sammael: He is an outcast for society and on the run from the police. He is one of the chosen warriors against the souls and has many characteristics of a protagonist i.e. courageous, self sacrificing and intelligent. However, unlike most protagonists due to his past and having suffered from guilt of not being able to save his family he drowns his sorrows in drink, he doesn't care if his actions please anyone or if he hurts the feelings of others and he tries to always stick to himself. This is staying away from stereotypes as it shows that no matter what you do as long as it helps people in one way (killing souls) then you can be seen as a hero by some.

Shelton: He is a man who has been wrongly accused of murdering a whole family. He grew up on the streets with no father and found his family in his crew. He is the youngest of 4 brothers and 3 sisters. He has had a hard childhood being arrested for pickpocketing, grand theft auto and assault. He changed when his mother died and he was the only one in the family not dead or in jail to go to his mothers funeral. He goes after the killer but after putting a gun to the killers head stops as it is 'not what his mother would have wanted'. The killer is murdered the same night and Shelton is arrested due to witnesses seeing him in the area. All this hate has made him hostile and he seems not to like or trust anyone. He seems to be the typical 'Black, Ghetto, Gangster' but really he has a huge heart and only wants to help the people he holds close to him. Again this means he is not the stereotypical gangster on the inside but may seem that way on the outside.

Dwayne: He is your typical cop who breaks the rules to keep everyone else by the rules. He could be classed as the stereotypical 'Dirty Cop'. He hopes to rid the streets of crime and wants to catch some of the most violent and evil criminals around. He is represented to be the bad cop in the good cop/bad cop relationship with his partner (who is killed by Sammael). Once his partner is killed we see he wants revenge and bad. Once he catches Sammael he treats him like the scum of the earth. Once Sammael saves him Dwayne feels like he owes him his life and vows to try and help him find a way to keep everyone safe.

Lucas: He is the stereotypical demon who wants to bring hell on earth and end the world. He wants to destroy humanity.
