1/24/11: Jack Fargone

This is a character for my film script writing class.

As one of 87 people who survived the destruction of planet Earth, Jack Fargone has to find a place where he belongs with the help of a talking dog and a humpback whale named Otto.

Character Spines:

1. How does your character like his eggs in the morning?

Jack likes his eggs over easy. A runny yolk that makes a mess he can sop up with toast saturated in butter, not margarine but real butter. He also likes hash browns that are slightly crispy and help to absorb some of the yolk.

2. How does your character’s chronological order of his surname affect his behavior?

Jack was always somewhere at the beginning so whenever he had to answer questions or do stuff in class he had to think quickly on his feet.

3. What did your character ask for on his 18th birthday?

Jack asked for a new bike. His last one was stolen when he turned 16 and he didn’t have enough to get a new one. He lives in Chicago and rides the bus or EL Train everywhere and his parents don’t have cars either.

4. Your character sees a turtle struggling on its back in the desert, what does he do?

Jack would turn the turtle back upright and then follow him to see where he goes. If he saw the turtle encounter any further dangers he would help the turtle out.

5. What is your characters favorite type of music?

He will listen to pretty much anything that is mainstream. He isn’t a music snob but if it is really popular he usually won’t listen to it unless it is really good.

6. Has your character had a significant other and are they still together?

Yes he had a girlfriend and no they are not together at the beginning of the story. She broke up with him because he wasn’t doing anything with his life. He accepted the assistant manager position at the video store and was planning on buy a ring to propose to her but then the world was destroyed. He thought it would show he was serious.

7. If your character saw an old lady get mugged what would he do?

Jack would run after the thief. He is all about helping those less fortunate and it tends to get him in trouble.

8. How many languages does your character speak?

Jack speaks one language, English. He took Spanish in high school but retains none of it.
