The Nice Guys

37 years old, slender build, fair skin, and blond hair slicked back with pomade. He sports a signature 70s mustache and long sideburns. A licensed private detective, widower, and father of 13-year-old Holly. After his wife died in a house fire, he lost his sense of smell and his moral compass. He spends his days scamming elderly women with fake cases and drowning his sorrows in alcohol. He is a coward, physically clumsy, and prone to high-pitched shrieks of panic.

Around 50, robust, broad-shouldered with a weary look. Overweight, but possesses an imposing physique that denotes brute strength. Short brown hair and unkempt stubble. A freelance enforcer for hire who dishes out beatings to stalkers or small-time criminals. He wears an iconic blue leather jacket. Unlike March, Healy is serious, pragmatic, extremely strong, and has a strict (albeit twisted) sense of professional ethics. He tries to convince himself that his violence helps improve the world.

13 years old, petite and short. Fair blond hair, straight and cut at shoulder length. Her face reflects a maturity and intelligence beyond her years. The daughter of Holland March; due to his incompetence and alcoholism, she had to grow up too fast. Her mother died in a fire three years ago. She is infinitely smarter, braver, more observant, and more responsible than the adults she works with. She acts as the group's moral compass.

About 20 years old, tall, thin, very pale skin, long, messy dark brown hair. She has a bohemian, disheveled look because she's on the run. A rebellious young activist and daughter of a high-ranking justice official. She disappeared mysteriously after shooting an amateur adult film that hides a massive corporate conspiracy. Intelligent, distrustful, and paranoid. Dialogue style: Accelerated and full of 70s anti-establishment political jargon.

Amelia's mother. The relentless and powerful Director of the U.S. Department of Justice. She presents herself as an incorruptible official, but in the shadows, she pulls strings to protect the secrets of the Detroit car cartel. Cold, calculating, and manipulative. Dialogue style: Sophisticated, authoritarian, and falsely maternal. She is the main hidden antagonist, hiring March and Healy under false pretenses to use their incompetence to her advantage.

About 35 years old, perfect features, perfectly groomed brown hair, and clear eyes. His posture is impeccable, military, and cold. A professional hitman, cold-minded and lethally efficient, sent by the Detroit mafia to "clean up" the Los Angeles mess. Unlike the clunky underworld thugs, John Boy doesn't make mistakes; he has surgical aim. His most distinct physical feature is a scar on his cheek. Dialogue style: Brief, calm, and terrifyingly polite.
