THE CREW

TRAVIS [Disgruntled Concierge]
voiced by DEAN DELRAY

Travis is cunning, hilarious and devastatingly handsome. At least that's what he thinks of himself. Others would more likely call him sarcastic, manipulative and arrogant, but he's not without his own brand of charisma. His enthusiastic personality can be infectious and he's great at pulling accomplices into his many schemes to get rich, famous or laid. He considers himself an underappreciated genius, but most of his knowlge comes from TV shows. For someone who claims not to care what anyone thinks, he seems desperate to prove it and his cool aloofness can give way to pathetic outbursts and tantrums when things don't go his way, not unlike a pouting child. He's lazy on the job which he thinks he's too good for, and always rude to the guests.

Typical Travis Scenes: Being rude to a customer, scheming, trying to get Glen on-board, trying to win favor with Nora and Michel, Hitting on girls, denying any fault

GLEN [Sensitive Spirit Bellboy & Janitor]
voiced by SAM TRIPOLI

Glen cares a bit too much. His heart is permanently stitched to his sleeve and easily buys into new age fads and conspiracy theories. He's not dumb, just a true believer. He never accepts arbitrary social conventions, whether walking around nude or eating a "perfectly good" churro from the dumpster. His lack of ego has made him many unexpected, strange friends in every walk of life. He considers himself an astral traveller, energy healer and plays an array of exotic instuments. He's bad at his job, not because he's lazy but because he has a pension for getting distracted or focusing on the wrong details. He trusts Travis, and is frequently roped into his schemes, usually becoming the fall guy when things go bad.

Typical Glen Scenes: Fucking up people's stuff, getting scared, being lazy, doing drugs, being overly sensitive, misunderstanding, under-reacting to a bad situation, overreacting to a minor incident.

NORA [Ambitious Office Manager]
voiced by RACHEL BUTERA

Nora is usually the one desperately trying to hold the place together through her coworkers’ incompetence and reckless schemes. She’s an aspiring entrepreneur, working her way through night classes. Although she considers herself quite skilled in business, law, science, etc., she really knows just enough to make herself sound smart. She hates getting hit on by her subordinates, and lets them know in the harshest ways possible. Secretly, she has a bit of a thing for Travis but hates that she’s attracted to him, and would never admit it. Still, she wants to be one of the gang and is often coerced to join them on their escapades against her better judgement. She’s from humble beginnings, and has more street-smarts than any of them.

Typical Nora Scenes: Trying to be professional, Holding shit together, reprimanding the guys, getting drawn into a scheme against her better judgement, Trying to impress Michel, repelling Travis's advances

Michel [Lovably Inept Owner]
voiced by MICHEL LEKIKA

Michel is a terrible businessman with a heart of gold. There is always a smile on his face as he pulls you into a bear-hug. Michel was a poor belsbok herder in Gabon, Africa, until one day he was caught in the crossfire between two warlord factions. When they killed each other, he made off with a load of their diamonds which he used to buy the hotel. Partly because of the culture shock, he is incredibly naive and treats everyone like his best friend. He genuinely cares about each person he meets. Instead of hiring qualified employees, he ‘rescues’ the ones he feels sorry for because he knows they’re too incompetent to find work elsewhere. If not for Nora, he would have gone broke long ago. His English isn’t so great, and he fills the gaps with "please-okay-thank-you" and "I love you!"

Typical Michel Scenes: Misunderstanding English, customs and situations, not comprehending the gravity of a situation, being affable and lovable when it's not appropriate, siding with the guys over Nora because of his happy-go-lucky nature.

EPISODE PLOTS

WITNESS PROTECTION
When federal agents reserve a room to hide an ex-mobster about to testify in a major trial, Travis and Clutch each try to win a mob bounty by being the one to kill him. Trying to keep things quiet, Nora thwarts their efforts to poison food, blow up the room, etc. The witness eventually ends up fleeing with Michel who thinks he is some kind of a bigshot and the FBI guys were his bodyguards. He takes Michel on a revenge quest through his old neighborhood, but Michel thinks it’s just a typical day of fun.

DESCENT
Glen accidentally pushes a cart of luggage into the elevator shaft, and it falls into darkness below. The crew travels down into the basement in search of it, but winds up in ancient sewers and creepy tunnels. They eventually are captured by a race of subterranean reptilians. As they escape, it’s revealed that the reptilians were just really dirty homeless people living in the sewers, or perhaps mutated by the nearby chemical plant.

SENIOR PROM
When Michel announces the hotel will be hosting a senior prom, the guys get excited about meeting high school girls. Of course Nora thinks they’re gross, but has mixed emotions when she sees one of the football players who’s on the prom committee. After a week of lecherous planning, they discover it’s a senior citizen prom put on by local retirement homes. The high school kids setting it up were only working there as community service.

THE HAUNTING
The hotel starts showing signs of being haunted. After calling in priests and psychics to deal with the problem, it turns out that the hotel’s air source has just been contaminated with opiates that Glen was growing in the basement (or something.)

SWEET SIXTEEN

PANTY RAID
Travis convinces Clutch to go on a college prank style panty raid on a nearby resort. When Michel hears about it, he insists on coming along, and has a very hard time being stealthy. When it turns out the rival resort is actually a mental hospital, they become trapped inside and nobody believes their stories. Glen comes to rescue them, but is also mistaken for a patient and enjoys the group therapy so much that he doesn’t want to leave. By the time Nora files the right papers to get them out, none of them want to leave.

SPEAKEASY
Inspired by 1920s gangster movies, Travis decides to open up a classy speakeasy in the wine cellar. But since alcohol is legal, he decides that in order to give it that authentic feel he should serve illegal drugs. It quickly devolves into a dangerous crackhouse.

THE NEXT TWITTER
When Glen comes up with a great idea for an app, Travis and Clutch try to get in on it as his partners. The only nerdy guy they know doesn’t want to program it, so they try to get him laid so he’ll help them. They also sneak into one of Nora’s community college business classes to try and meet investors, but just wind up embarrassing her.

TREASURE HUNT
While sword-fighting in the hotel’s decorative suits of armor, the crew destroys an old painting and discovers a treasure map which leads them on a quest. They barge through occupied guest rooms, dig holes in the yard and discover secret rooms. Ultimately, the treasure is something underwhelming.

CASINO
In order to make more money, they decide to convert the hotel into a Las Vegas-style casino. Since they can’t afford real equipment, they make their own highly-rigged games. Meanwhile Lester begins auditioning showgirls and circus performers to put on a grand, epic nightly show.

ALTERNATE SECONDARY CHARACTERS

TOBY - Office Monkey
He's a bit nervous and reserved, but wants to be cool and really tries to fit in with those younger, and hipper than him, even if it just means copying trends and lingo he doesn't completely understand. His insecurities make him an easily swayed to begrugingly go along with any plan, even if he's the first to crack under pressure. A formerly rich stock broker, he has an ex-wife and a kid he rarely sees, and some embarassingly pathetic hobbies. He's a bit like Murray in FOTC or Cyril in Archer.

VAL - Janitor
A stocky chick with dyed hair and combat boots, she's a bit of the surly lesbian punk stereotype, but there's potential to abandon some of the tropes and make her a more complex and nuance character. She's the one who can build or fix things, as well as a computer hacker. She will punch you if you call her a maid. She's a bit like Melissa McCarthy, Aubrey Plaza on Parks & Rec. or Laura Silverman on Dr. Katz.

RAY LEE - Valet
An Asian-American kid from the south, he talks like a hillbillie with a spikey mullet and has been in and out of jail for stealing cars. He's a bit of a gearhead, and a bit crazy, ready to fly off the handle if he's challenged. He wants to be called by his racing nickname, Clutch (or something). He's a bit like Danny McBride or Master Shake.

MORRIS - Gardener
He is mildly autistic which makes him socially awkward, but also has vast encyclopedic knowlege, and is often working on scientific experiments in the basement. He's a bit like Zach Galafanakis in The Hangover or Rick Morannis in Ghostbusters.

RACHAEL - Low-level Security Guard
She wants to be a broadway actress, and its a bit peppy and energetic to the point of being annoying. She's very into any kind of new age trend, cleansing, etc, but also fashion and girly stuff. She's not ditzy, but sometimes too trusting of people. She's usually the one used as bait, or a distraction but can sometimes get too into the "role" she is playing, even though she's a much worse actor than she thinks she is. She's a bit like Shoshanna on Girls or Phoebe on Friends.

LEROY "KNUCKLES" GRIMES - Trainer & Messeuss
He fancies himself an ultimate fighter and master of all forms of combat, but his dimeanor is meek and his experience is limited. He's stocky and balding with a pot belly and glasses. He loves Kung Fu movies and collects weapons which he barely knows how to use. He tells stories about "when the shit went down in Felluja" but clearly he was just a civillian contractor doing admin work in Iraq. He's a bit like the nerdy brother on Napoleon Dynamite or Dwight Shrewt on The Office.

VLAD SKARNOFF - Head of Security
Sadistic, terrifying ex-KGB, etc. Basically, he is Vladimir Putin. He hates them enough that he will go after them even if they're plotting things outside of the hotel, and would never fire them because if he did he could no longer chase, punish and torture them.

RICK - the Manager
Uptight and strict, but also very weak and insecure, he gives into anything security demands. He just wants to keep things running smoothly and is always the one who is most nervous when there is the potential for a disaster

THE OWNER'S WIFE
The owner's wife is a snobby elitist socialite who hates poor people and likes to torment and humiliate the help. Alternately, the owner could be an eccentric tech millionaire and she could be his mother just skimming off his new-found wealth. She would be a bit like the mother on Arrested Development.

REPAIRMAN
A grumpy but street-wise repairman, he is always snooping and trying to figure out what they're up to, but not to turn them in. He just wants a taste of the action, bribes and favors. He's skeezy and unfriendly, kind of like Carl on Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

BELLHOP
He is basically like a spy for management, trying to raise his station by ratting out anybody breaking rules.

DESK CLERK
A cheery yokel like Woody Boyd or Kenneth the Page, he is very by-the-book and honest but also gullible and easily tricked. he is often the one who winds up taking the heat for the crew's schemes which he unwittingly facilitates.

MATILDA THE MAID
She speaks very little English, and wouldn't go out of her way to turn anybody in, but is afraid of getting in trouble.

PETEY THE BUM
He lives in the alley among the cats, but might turn up anywhere in the hotel from the boiler room to the Presidential suite. He can be bribed to do almost anything or recruit a an army of homeless if needed.

HOLLISTER THE DOORMAN
Old and feeble, he seems to barely know where he is or what's going on, but might have a moment of clarity that could work for or against them.

NEIL THE BARTENDER
In his mid-50s, Neil is sort of the elder statesman and wise prophet who anyone can turn to for advice, or to broker a deal. He's not on the side of management or the crew, but might be the only person who can solve a crisis. He just wants to keep the status quo where it is.

THE BAR HOOKERS
Several hookers are regular customers who troll the bar for new clients. Among them are a sassy young hooker, a 90-year old former showgirl and a male giggolo.

BUTTERCUP THE CABBIE
She is a cabbie who is usually outside the hotel. A former Hell's Angel in the 1960s, she's not likely to take shit from anybody but more no-nonsense than surly. She fancies herself an amateur bounty hunter and keeps several guns in her cab.
