Character Profile

An image of John

Character Name: John
Age: 16-18 years old
Character Type: Protagonist

John is an Afro-Caribbean adolescent who is caught up in devious acts. He appears to be a fearful character, whose job is simply to carry the mysterious content in a black bag. He is young, so is vulnerable to the dangers of carrying such content, but still appear alarming to others. He is a character who lacks emotion, maybe because he has been through a lot of difficult situations which goes on to him being a youth which lacks morality.

He is based upon characters which live in similar locations to that of Anglia Square, the character Sam from 'Kidulthood' and the squeal 'Adulthood' is a perfect example of someone similar to John. Sam is from an ethnic minority, like John, who lives a troubled life in London who lives in a block of council flats. His name, John, can be seen as ironic because it's such a simple name for a character with so much mystery to him.
