Age: late to early 30s
Pronouns: She/Her

Our main protagonist. She’s a fighter and outspoken. She isn’t one to keep the peace for the sake of it. RJ is a community leader who strives to shift the narrative, but since taking the mantle at Century law firm she is finding that in order to make change - true change, your hands must get dirty.
[determined]“We’ve been asking for justice, but it’s fallen on deaf ears…so now, it’s time to take it…”
[RJ is this close to grabbing her arrogant prick of a client by the collar, but she keeps her composure and says…] “No, this is how it works. You hired our firm to handle this class action. I am the only person between you and your entire legacy going to shit. So, unless you want me and your chances to walk through the door, I suggest you shut up and listen.”

Description: Shivam is RJ’s best friend…but that’ll get muddy down the line, be warned. Shivam is a champion of justice - at least that’s what the kids at the rec center calls him. He hates it, really, but they do it in jest - mostly. He is extremely loyal and values honestly and truth.
(rousing a crowd of fellow protestors) [confident] “History is written by the victors, is it not?... And they didn't win by trying to find a soul in the damned…”
(disappointed, heartbroken, tired. His decade long friendship with RJ is slowly crumbling) “I called you. That night of the fire, I called you. It's been days, RJ and this half ass, self-absorbed apology is what I get? Go to hell.”

[Scene: She’s in a support group for recovering addicts. She’s tired and annoyed…] [sarcastically] “I'm here because I love drugs…
Jerry can’t stop shooting up. Yael’s just here because she’s court ordered. And Hilary? She’s eighteen. Eighteen and in a room full of failed addicts. We don’t need good vibes, we need help. Actual help. This
(gestures around)
Doesn't help.
Scene: She’s talking to Maddie, a new friend and reporter. Sad and full of regrets] “I was fifteen when I first started. We gave the party schools a run for their money. I started cocaine a few years after. It was an on again off again situation…when I was on, I was shot. I could barely stand. But…when I was off, it felt like I couldn’t breathe without it.”

(she parts this wisdom to her eldest) [an icy but regal tone]
“A kill from the inside is often untraceable, son, remember that.”
[Scene: Bea and RJ are having a heated conversation about RJ’s place at Century Law Firm as the eliginament child of Bea’s late husband. Bea has had enough of the back and forth. She lets RJ know what is expected of her…]
“Rebecca, I'm not going to beg it's beneath me and quite frankly it wouldn't serve you well either. You have two options here. You can move back to your comfortable life, wasting your potential or you stay here, serve under me, and prove to yourself that you belong. But if you do stay - you make damn sure you’re ready to put this family - your family first.”

Description: Nicholas might be a fire starter but Ada is the wildfire, destroying any and everything in her path. She thinks of others as dispensable - just pieces. She is extremely loyal to the C.A.C, an underground extremist group tasked with taking down corporations and the elite.
“The others are getting worried. We need to act now. While there is something between them to salvage or else our window of opportunity will be gone.”
[She is speaking with Nicholas about Shivam. She senses Nicholas’ hesitation and shuts it down quickly.] “Don’t get cold feet, Nicky. You’re running out of time. (beat) You need to break the kid, fast. If you can’t, you best hand it over to me.”

He’s boasting now…] “You might want to hear what I have to say, or perhaps wait until The Post gets wind of it? … Your border has been moving funds around a lot lately - $64,000 to be exact. A lot of people might start to take notice. Or…perhaps they already have. I’ll stay quiet, for a price.”

Description: RJ’s half brother. He’s arrogant but if you asked him…well, he wouldn’t give you the time of day honestly. Ezekiel is the golden child but he always worked for what he wanted. He believes in carrying oneself with the utmost respect. Which is why he hates RJ or “the outsider” as he calls her. He thinks of her as weak and entitled - far from what his father, Century stood for.
[Scene: After a heated argument between RJ discussing her advocacy in and around D.C, Ezekiel counters…] [arrogant and condescending] “Nobody deserves anything in this life. You work for it. You take it, by any means.”
[overwhelmed. He’s been having nightmares about the incident. He’s tired, paranoid, and trying his best to keep his shit together] “I’m done taking orders from the product of a goddamn pity fuck. Police are breathing down our necks and we are sitting here handing ourselves on a shiny gold plated platter… We have to take her out. (beat) Don’t look at me like that. Blood is already on your hands. If we go down, you are right behind us.”

[arrogant] “My father isn’t the only one who makes moves…”

Much to her dismay, she starts to realize that the Glass’ doesn’t break so easily.
[Scene: She is talking to Levi, the suspect on her raider. She knows he’s guilty, but there’s more to the story and it starts with the Glass.] “You’ve never seen Loretta? Word is that you and your frat boys had a little soiree two weeks ago. Maybe it got a little out of hand? Needed a little help to clean up your little accident?

“Most people swap one addiction for another. Whether it’s booze, caffeine or sex. (beat) I sure as hell wasn’t going to give up sex.”
“Zola, you have to trust me, okay. You have a story to tell and I want to help people hear it. [jokingly but loving]Think of me as your personal guardian angel pushing you closer to your true calling.”
