Character Profile

Protagonist/ Antagonist Police name: Officer Vincent Undercover name: Vinnie Flag Age: 23 Personality: Originally a good person who is a high up detective in the police force, handles sticky situations well, respected, easily distracted, unlucky and hardworking despite constant problems. Description: Averagely tall and young looking man who focuses on his set task in order to get a job done well. He is very dedicated to his job but he finds himself in sticky situations more often than he should. Unfortunately he does get very easily distracted which tends to make him fall behind and be careless and that’s why he ends up in these situations. Although normally good under pressure and being well able to handle himself there are times where there is not a way out. He does what he is told and is very disciplined but does it all for the high pay that he gets because outside of work he lives a very good life. He doesn’t have a girlfriend or anything and this is a cause of problems for him. When he takes a liking to someone he becomes overly loyal which gets him stuck in the middle of things. Clothing worn: Jogging bottoms but nicer and classier due to him pretending to join a gang but it shows he is high up from the nicer clothing. Casual and comfy clothing to fit in with the gang members, smart suit for the police parts. Props: Hidden earpiece and microphone to contact police when he has information, carries a phone and headphones. Wears a watch at all times and always looks at it to show he is keeping track so he knows when to give feedback to his police unit.

Mood Board
