About

At twenty years old, I had finally begun chasing the dream I’d had for years: becoming an actor. I’d left Washington State behind, desperate for a fresh start and determined to build a life that belonged to me. After everything I’d experienced with my family, I wanted to become someone new. Then I went to a convention to see Sebastian Stan. I’d been a fan since I was eighteen, and seeing him in person was something I’d imagined countless times. He was a stranger to me, and I was just another face in a crowd of thousands. Until the explosions began. What starts as a terrifying emergency quickly becomes something much worse. The power fails. Communications collapse. The city descends into chaos. Emergency services disappear. The outside world becomes increasingly silent. While everyone else tries to escape, I make a reckless decision: I go backstage to find Sebastian. I expect to find a celebrity surrounded by security. Instead, I find a man who is just as confused and frightened as everyone else. Neither of us knows what is happening. Neither of us knows how long the world has left. And when we realize that the disaster isn’t temporary—that civilization itself is beginning to collapse—we have no choice but to survive together. Two strangers. One collapsing world. And somewhere between abandoned cities, dwindling supplies, dangerous encounters, and the search for somewhere safe, an unlikely bond begins to form. The world is ending. But for the first time in my life, I may finally have a chance to decide who I want to become. For the Character section I’d make your character first, and I’d specifically include the emotional history you’ve told me without making it overwhelmingly long: Nicolas — 20 years old A young aspiring actor originally from Washington State who leaves home to pursue a career in entertainment and escape a difficult family environment. He is ambitious but deeply insecure about his appearance, voice, body, and ability to succeed. Despite being intelligent and capable, he often feels much younger than his actual age and struggles with the idea of becoming an adult. He has ADHD, autism, and anxiety, which affect how he processes overwhelming situations and social interactions. He uses storytelling and creativity as an emotional outlet and has always dreamed of becoming famous. When the world collapses, Nicolas discovers that the qualities he once considered weaknesses—his sensitivity, adaptability, intense focus, creativity, and ability to notice details—may actually help him survive. He has been a fan of Sebastian Stan since he was eighteen, but before the disaster, Sebastian has no idea who he is. Important: Sebastian should not know your entire history when you first meet. That gives us somewhere to go emotionally. He gradually discovers who Nicolas actually is as they survive together.
