BLACKOUT:
The character ‘Blackout’ is a reflection of the financial, social and psychological adversities that young people of the modern era maybe facing today. Blackout himself has become more concerned with his own problems, and is less concerned with the means in which he has to do that. He disregards the challenges past generations of his own culture have faced. No one has ever really showed him or taught him that there may be a better way. What matters to ‘Blackout’ is survival, family and friends don’t exist. Money, food, shelter are the only thing that matter to him and he will do whatever he needs to do to get it, even if it haunts him forever.
