Chris Frost

Chris is a teenage lad who suffers from a severe mental condition called maladaptive daydream disorder. He goes through school as a loner. With no one to call a friend he has very little social skills and abilities and finds it hard to let people into his life. Chris spends most of his time with a therapist who's efforts are to help him control his MDD and to build his confidence up so he can start making a better and easier life for himself. However, There is one group of boys who are merciless towards Chris. They make him feel like he doesn’t deserve to be alive, making his life a misery by reminding him day after day of how ‘different’ he is to the rest of them. This constant abuse has a great effect on his recovery and it sends him into deep day dreams where he pictures himself as a ‘vigilante’ character, who’s goal is to find his nemesis (the bully) and end his life. This character is pictured as a hooded figure who is very skilled at fighting and  Chris’s therapist is extremely protective over him as he also suffers from MDD but not as violent and prominent Chris, though he                                                      does know how he feels and how to control it.

Isaac Law

Isaac is the college bully who has a reputation for being a little less friendly that people would like, and he takes a shine to our main character, Chris. Isaac finds out that chris has a condition that is quite extraordinary and he feels that he will be an easy target. His goal is to impress people and humour them by verbally and physically abusing Chris, however the complete opposite happens and Isaac is socially cast out from virtually everyone for being so harsh and taking it too far. Isaac begins to become furious ant Chris, blaming his loss of friends and followers on him and creating more reason to bully him. Isaacs increase in abuse results in Chris's day dreams to become a reality and his imagination finally puts Isaac in his place.

Mr.White

Mr.White is Chris's therapist who is very good at making him feel comfortable, relaxed and in control as he suffers from the very same condition but no where near as prominent. He focuses most of his attention on Chris because he knows that he is strong willed and can control his condition, however, this is made to be quite a difficult task to achieve thanks to Isaac and his degrading attitude towards Chris. Mr.White gives Chris as much help and guidance as he possibly can to try and keep him under control, but he knows that the only way he can fully understand how dangerous his condition is, and how important it is for him to control it, is for the MDD to take over his body and for his actions to scare him into never letting it happen again, which is the way Mr.White had to overcome it.
