Project LitFoD (A Comedy Horror Game)
Mike Harrison-Wood for Richard
Big, main part
Middle-class male, strong stage presence, charismatic, and goofy.
Performs on stage with a confident deadpan persona.
Privileged and elitist position masked by disarming comedy.
From an early age, he was confronted with death, an experience that seeded a lasting fear of the unknown - especially when they come face-to-face with death once again.
Taught not to take his emotions seriously, so will try to find comedy in their pain.
Spent the later years of his life feeling stuck between a life they cannot bear to live and a death he is too afraid to face.
Performers should be comfortable screaming during recordings.

[Performing on stage] My full name is Richard Head. Because my parents thought: “Yeah, Dick Head is a good name. He won’t get bullied for that one.” Joke’s on them, they had to pay for the therapy.
[Emotionally broken, memories slowly returning] I have always hated my fucking life, but I was also scared of dying. On that day, for just one moment, I wasn’t scared of dying anymore.
[Panicked] No no no no no [Cut off by something being shoved down your throat]
