About the Job
Character Description: A self-aggrandized producer/curator who gives off frat-house dudebro energy mixed with pretentious hipster vibes. Blade is charismatic in a toxic way - he knows how to work a room and position himself as the authority, but his charm is manipulative rather than genuine. He takes credit for others' work (particularly Sadie's) and uses emotional manipulation to maintain control. He's dismissive of anyone he perceives as competition (like Camden) and treats Sadie as his possession despite their breakup. Underneath the swagger is deep insecurity and a need for control. Key Qualities: Narcissistic, gaslights Sadie constantly, dismissive and condescending, can't remember Camden's name (calls him Cameron/Carson on purpose), skilled at social manipulation, territorial over Sadie, superficially charming but deeply insecure, passive-aggressive Key Scenes: Manipulating Sadie at his apartment, passive-aggressively dismissing Camden, controlling conversation about the new collaboration, showing his true colors when alone
