Hi, I’m Chaz

Hello! I’m new and have not yet participated on LDP. I’ve been working on a character - Chaz Montgomery - and was hoping to introduce him and get any feedback or suggestions anyone has. All helpful criticism welcomed!

Chaz Montgomery is a 36 y/o male who works in the shoe rental department of the Bowl O’Rama. He lives with his mother whom he takes care of in a large Victorian style house. He is a bit eccentric and does strange things sometimes. He also likes to use props (usually food) when making a point:

The references he makes are sometimes lost on the audience. Chaz’s father died years ago. Mother’s version of events had him eaten by a lion, though one had never been spotted in LDP back then. Chaz also has a doppelganger named Chez Bluntgomery, who lives by the Pier and mostly keeps to himself. They may or may not be blood-related. Chaz has never liked Chez and his nickname for Chez is Carl Dumbgomery.

Chaz and his mother rarely leave the house these days, and rarely entertain company even though Chaz relishes a surprise visit. Because of the seclusion and living on the slope of a hill, he’s been brainstorming ways to work from home, such as delivering shoes using a system of catapults. This, and his suggestion that the Bowl O’Rama switch to only accepting bitcoin as payment has mostly fallen on deaf ears with senior management.

^ More details in the works, but it’s the vibe I’m going for.
