Name: Ethan Flores (Pronounced Eitan)

Age: 24

Species: Flame-Knee Tarantula

Role: Inmate

Ethan Flores is one of the main protagonists of Jailbird. He's extremely, maybe sometimes overly friendly, and works as transportation for inmates. Since driving is much rarer in the Jailbird universe, he is one of few inmates who can actually drive. He's also known for 'adopting' some new inmates and supporting them. He is a part-time tattoo artist, and enjoys taking care of insects.

Ethan has adjusted well to prison life, being seen as "high up in the ranks" due to his wealth and skills as a tattoo artist. He is also extremely charismatic, making him very convincing and easy to talk to. This is what has granted him many connections throughout the facility, and he is the beating heart of his friend group. He is rarely sad or angry, and is just riding out his time.

Ethan is transmasculine, a fact not known by many inmates, but known by people in his friend circle. Ethan is also romantically tied to both Oliver and Phil, as they all find comfort in each others company and treat each other like romantic partners. 

Prior to the events of the story, Ethan suffered a head injury in a prison fight, causing him to develop post-traumatic Epilepsy. This is something he doesn't become aware of until series 2, after a particularly bad seizure. Up to that point, he has infrequent absent seizures.

Etan is a primary character in Jailbird, acting as a way to connect characters together.

• Etan has a mid-range voice.
• His voice is warm and energetic, with a South American accent (unspecified - feel free to audition regardless of specifics!). He can also speak Spanish.

OLIVER

Huh. Dion, Hal - that's for you.

DION

(confused)

What's for us?

ETAN

He's saying the job board is up - your time as freeloaders is officially OVER! time to get a job and enter the working world. It only took them what, 2 months to get a new one up?

As he steps up, the shot focuses on the character in the drivers seat. He's a young man, half spider with a 2nd hair of arms and a 2nd pair of eyes. He's flicking through what looks like a playboy magazine hidden inside a newspaper. When he notices Hal, he swiftly closes the newspaper and stuffs it behind him.

ETAN

Heyy, the straggler! I have to say, you looked veeery comfortable in that other bus. I almost didn't wanna wake you.

Etan gives a thumbs up as the officer shuts the door. He turns the key and they begin to drive.

ETAN

Not a long one, fellas! About 10 minutes and we'll be at your destination. Don't ask me to change the music, because I won't!
