GENERAL NOTE FOR MINERS: We are looking for diverse and unique types. All miners are used to hard work and harsh environments; it is etched into their faces. Natural faces please (no make-up).
[LORRAINE] Female. 45-60s. A hardworking miner, mother, and grandmother, who wants to provide the best possible life for her family. A gal with a salty edge, she’s both toughened up and worn down by years on the job. LEAD
[HANKS] Female, 40-50. The Synthetic who manages operations at the Weyland-Yutani mine. She’s practical and efficient. Though she seems kind, her priorities lay with the corporation instead of the miners. SUPPORTING LEAD
