Protagonist Brainstorm

What does your protagonist want? Brad wants to be the leader and he wants to guide/control other teens and kids, the right way. In other words, he wants to be the “President” until the adults come back.
What obstacles stand in your protagonist’s way?  The antagonists are several groups of other teens and kids who are also fighting to be the “President”.
Specific Characteristics of your protagonist (appearance, special skills/abilities, knowledge)  Brad is technically an adult because his birthday was a day before all the adults vanished. Brad is muscular and around 6ft tall. He loves to wear baggy clothes. His hair is brown and his eyes are blue and he constantly wears a necklace that his mother gave to him on his birthday. Also, he has a scar in a shape of a lightning bolt on his neck, that he got when he fell of a bike at the age of 3.

This is how I imagine my protagonist and if there was a movie about my short story, I would choose Zac Efron to play “Brad”.
