A Bird Flies Into A Power Line - Novella Promotion Casting
Bart for Devonte, 21
Devonte has always struggled to find his own path in life. After graduating high school, he went to a prestigious college, but quickly realized it wasn’t the place for him and dropped out. Despite being haunted by his father’s betrayal of the family and his parent’s divorce, he nevertheless decides to join the Agency and follow in their footsteps, hoping he might finally find somewhere he belongs.
Cocky and confident, but as a coping mechanism to deal with his insecurities. He has a sense of humor but it’s often sarcastic, as he is also somewhat cynical about the state of the world.

“I was joking—you don’t need to recite the handbook. I think we’ve established by now that dating in-agency is not the move.”
(being interviewed) “It wasn’t going to work out. We were too different--different beliefs, different interests--the usual, y’know?”
