Character Profile: Kyle

Kyle played by Saul Tyler

Name: His name is just Kyle. He doesn't have a last name because he is homeless and he'd prefer to stay anonymous.

Age: Kyle is around 28 but when in the flashbacks, he is 23 years old. He is slightly younger than the Client.

Occupation: Kyle doesn't have an occupation because he is homeless. His job is to stay alive and try to survive lifes basic struggles. He has to search bins for food that is probably soiled in hope he won't die from starvation and his biggest worry is finding somewhere dry to sleep for the night.

Appearence: Kyle has curly matted hair that he has cut himself so it looks messy and terrible. His face is bare and rarely shows any emotion due to his lack of empathy. He wears blue dirty overall trousers that seem to keep him warm and working hard-wearing boots that won't be letting him down anytime soon. Paired with this he wears a dirty green flannel shirt that matches a green baggy cardigan he found whilst searching bins for food.

He will look sad and solemn and will drag his feet when he walks. He doesn't speak much at all and rarely looks anyone in the eye because he has a violent past and is scared that the eye's of the public will bring back those memories he so badly has tried to repress.

Personality: He doesn't have any relatives or friends he can turn to and this has created a hard exterioir around Kyle's personality. He's secrative and tends to keep himself to himself. No one knows Kyle's name by choice and this makes him a difficult person to talk to. He's feared because he looks homeless aswell as being it. Dirty and angry looking.

Sometimes Kyle believes he may be mentally insane due to violent flashbacks he has of memories he cannot remember. He is mentally in pain and mentally self harms himself by thinking about the 'what ifs'. His mind is constantly hyperactive with thoughts and ideas and schemes to do bad things. He doesn't know why he has these thoughts to do illegal things because, he believes, he doesn't deserve what has happened to him. Even though he brought this all on himself.

Role: Kyle is the protagonist throughout the film and has to collect a parcel that leads him to his death. He is the character who's story the audience shall follow and feel sorry for throughout even though he did bad things that haunt him through flashbacks.
