Chester, your character reveres the “king” of rock and roll to god-like status. As an Elvis Presley impersonator who takes your job seriously, you are pretty much always in Elvis mode. Because of this, your past is blurry even to locals who have known you for years. Whenever asked why you are so obsessed, you reply something to the effect of, “I’m just doing my part to carry on the spirit, legacy, and wonder of the greatest man who ever graced this land with his presence.”
Costume Suggestions
As you might expect, you should wear a flashy, polyester, rhinestone-studded suit with bellbottoms but anything showy will do the trick. Fake sideburns and dark, huge sunglasses are a great touch, and chest hair would be an added bonus! Bring a harmonica or a microphone, something to wave around when you get excited. Use a southern accent, and try to sound and act as much like Elvis Presley as you can. Say “Thank you, thank you very much,” call all the girls, “Darlin,” and walk with a swagger. Request music by the “king” or bring your own.
