Angus Boyle

About the Job

Male, 18-25. Beckett’s best friend and teammate, initially an antagonist who becomes an ally. Appearance: Muscular, athletic, sure, but Angus has a rougher and rounder presence than his more perfect half. His style leans casual and sporty—team gear, hoodies, and worn-in sneakers—reflecting someone grounded more in competition than status. Personality: Angus is blunt, competitive, and loyal, often acting first and thinking later. He starts off cruel and pack-minded, reinforcing the school’s hierarchy, but his loyalty to Beckett runs deeper than his need to belong. He struggles with change but is capable of growth when forced to confront his best friend’s sexuality. Objective: Maintain his place on the team and in Beckett’s life, protecting his friend from the ‘gay boy’ complicating everything. Character arc: Angus begins as a smug enforcer of the social order, targeting Tyler to protect his position. As Beckett’s feelings become undeniable, Angus is forced to reevaluate his actions and priorities. By the end, he evolves into a reluctant but genuine ally, choosing loyalty to Beckett over conformity. NECESSARY TO HAVE SWIMMING EXPERIENCE.
