Personality:
There's always that one person that gets way too into college, the one that wants to do it up like all the movies make the experience out to be: drinking heavily, making mistakes on a regular basis, Greek turf wars, and somehow still managing to attend class and not be thrown out or worse, in jail. Cass makes that person seem downright tame. People aren't even sure if she attends college or just hangs out on the campus causing all manner of havoc. There's rarely a party where she isn't four beers deep before the first hour passes, and it's not even considered a party unless she's there to cause some manner of property damage. Usually it's just a broken window or two. Though she's quite the notorious party sort, Cass fancies herself a rebel, that there's a method to her often drunken madness. No one's quite sure what that method is, but then, Cass does say a lot of things that are hard to parse.

Despite not having what one could call an actual 'friend', Cass is incredibly social and confident when it comes to controlling a room. Even when she isn't smashing windows or making a ruckus just to combat boredom, she knows how to talk to people, to make them laugh, to make them interested. Her reputation definitely precedes her on her campus, but no one really has gotten to know her beyond what she presents on the surface. And sure, while there's certainly a place for someone crazy and utterly unfiltered like Cass, at some point one has to wonder when she'll start growing up.


History:
A question many have after meeting Cass is 'was she always like that?' And the answer might come as a surprise if ever there was anyone around to hear it. Cass, born Cassandra, Rowley comes from a well off family, the type of family that has wings of a hospital or building named after them. The type of family that lives in a gated community and speaks ill about those that look different than they do. You know the type. Cass bought into the lifestyle as a child, taking the piano lessons after private school and being groomed to be a perfect little socialite, auctioned off to some other nouveau riche suitor to keep the money and conditioning well alive. It was around the end of middle school when Cass began to change. Her parents liked to blame the less fortunate as a bad influence, but it was just a matter of Cass seeing her parents and realizing that she wanted to be anything but them.

Cass attended public high school, which was about as big a slap in the face to her family as she could do without bringing home an unwanted suitor, and went to great lengths to hide her fortunate status from the others. She accomplished this by wearing clothes straight out of punk music videos, at first being a very poor poser but slowly, over time, adapting the anarchistic, wild child lifestyle for herself. All the marks were checked on the list. Smoking behind the gym. Truancy. A stint with a shitty garage band. Being thrown out of said band for thinking that their one and only gig had to end with her kicking a bigass hole in the drummer's kit. Cass embraced a life of attitude and loose morals even if it meant being cut off from her family's bank account.

Whether or not this is just a phase remains to be seen, and no one outside of her family know the details of her life. She intends to keep it that way.

Deryl Riftwood

"I'm... different. I don't follow the meta of normal life, I try to combine qualities that I see for myself, and it just kind of works."

Name: Deryl Riftwood

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Label/Stereotype: Undetermined

Sexual Orientation: The Straight and Narrow

Appearance: He stands about 5' 3", weighs about 150 lbs, and is often wearing either a variety of T-Shirts or his light gray hoodie. He has a pair of black-framed glasses, which can turn into sunglasses outside because of special lenses. You will also find him regularly wearing normal Blue Jeans, with a pair of white and black tennis shoes. His hair is brown and often combed over, and his eyes are also brown. He is of the White Race, and is often seen with some type of electronic device in his hands, be it a laptop, handheld game, or cell phone.

Personality: Deryl is different than other people, not wierd different, but just not the meta. He's got qualities that he finds work for him, and he enhances those however he can. He makes sure to stay in decent physical shape, and also tries to be sociable whenever possible. He really likes working with computers and technology, especially video games. He can be... temperamental, not towards people in real life usually, but people online who happen to rub him the wrong way.

History: He was born to a couple in upstate Maine in the United States. He was a generally normal kid, he tried to get along with everyone but just found himself a little cast aside because of his likes and beliefs. He's got a good number of friends, though, so he knew he was doing something right. When he entered middle school, he began delving into computer tech more and more, finding that he loved working with computer programs and computers in general.

After that he developed an absolute love for Video Games, sure he had played them before, but he'd never experienced them like he had now. When he was twelve he actually made a fan game for Pokemon, which had become popular again in school. It was a hit online, and he was very happy of how it worked out. He wanted to do something bigger, though. He wanted to attract the attention of big gaming industries like Nintendo and Sega. For that, though, he'd need funds. Funds he didn't have. He would work for the next few years, from odd jobs to part time jobs to full time jobs by the time he was out of high school.

He hadn't gone to college yet, and was thinking of using those funds to do so, when he received a message saying that he would have the chance to try out for a new reality tv show, with a prize of $1,000,000.00! It was like the universe had sent him his shot, his chance, to make his dream come true. He wasn't just thinking of himself, though. He thought also for his family, his little sister, his mother and father. He would help them out too, as they had recently fallen on hard times.

Anything else you want to add?: One of his jobs he had while trying to save up money was acting as a doctors assistant in a local medical clinic. He learned here how to treat minor wounds such as sprained ankles, minor scrapes and bruises, and how to clean and bandage wounds.

Jinta Kusakabe

Name: Jinta Kusakabe
Age: 21
Gender: Male.
Label/Stereotype: The Culinary Queen Bee.
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual. (Demiromantic.)

Appearance

Personality:

Jinta has a natural charisma that either comes across as infectiously catchy bouts of self-esteem or obnoxiously egotistical ramblings. Always with a high opinion on himself and a lot of confidence in his abilities and decisions, he very often doesn’t second guess himself. This often causes him to say or do brash or callous things without thinking about it or really caring about any consequences within.

With a natural ability in cooking, Jinta’s life works alongside this. He believes that life should have a balance, yet a spice to everything within it. Because of this, he has a major “go big or go home” attitude in everything he does. Believing in a status quo of sorts, he believes that for every hero and every neutral force should be a dramatic pot-stirrer....

...Named Jinta Kusakabe. While he won’t stoop to cheating, he is willing to spread gossip, lies, and slander about his fellow contestants just so he can take another step forward towards the million dollar prize. Because of this, he often takes the role as an antagonist, perhaps even willingly, to keep things interesting and in his favor. His sharp tongue and diva antics though often tilt this upside down for him though.

He has a flirty streak, but ultimately only uses it to push things in his favor or for future one night stands. His opinion on romance is, “I’m not against it, but I’m mostly neutral for it.” Despite this, he has held three relationships in his past, but each ended badly (the first sabotaged by his sisters, the second having no spark, and the third feeling heavily one-sided, surprisingly on his side). As such, the competition and allies are on his mind much moreso than any sort of romance, but he remains with his mind open regardless.

Despite his incredibly larger than life presence, he does have a soft side for his family, particularly his younger sisters. He is particularly wise and clever, but it is usually buried beneath his egotistic and proud persona.

“There’s a time and place for subtlety… This isn’t one of them!”

History:

The oldest of three children who moved from Japan to southern California, Jinta was a lot more meek and shy when he was in grade school. Often picked on in school, it took him a long time to come out of his shell. And when he did, boy did he. By middle school, he had adopted a facade of an incredibly egotistical and distant individual, which seemed to leech onto his personality itself.

As his parents usually worked late, he often took care of his younger twin sisters, who happened to be seven years younger than him. He also ended up becoming the sole cook of his household, usually cooking before his family got home at night. Everyone noticed that he had a certain flair for cooking and seemed to really enjoy it too. Because of this, he slowly began to realize a dream of opening his own restaurant someday.

During high school, he began to develop a reputation among the preps of his school as one of the closest things his school had to a queen bee. He never necessarily agreed to this, but never denied it either. It just sorta… Happened. While at home he was a lot more chill and modest, his already larger than life public persona was growing by the moment for better or for worse. This continued into his college years.

Now in his third year of college, Jinta had heard of What Would You Do for a Million Dollars from the casting call email. Thinking over it for two days, he immediately sent in an audition. He figured that not only would he be able to put the million dollars to good use, but he would also be able to have a chance to be noticed by other chefs and hopefully be offered a job better than the shitty paying job he had at a local restaurant.

Why do they want to win a million dollars?: To pay off culinary school and save the rest to put his two younger sisters through school.

Alexandra

Name:
Alexandra "Alex" LeClaire

Age:
20.

Gender:
Female.

Label/Stereotype:
Overdramatic theatre nerd.

Sexual Orientation:
Pan.

Appearance:
Alexandra dresses according to her mood. If she's feeling crappy that day, she'll probably wear sweats and a baggy t-shirt and/or hoodie. If she's feeling pretty good about herself, she'll wear anything exposing her defined legs, arms, and sometimes even her stomach, where the hints of abs is making an appearance. Usually, she is showing off her body in some way (unless it's just that bad of a day) because she works so hard for it and believes she has the right. She enjoys girly things, flowers and lace and skirts and short shorts, tank tops and blouses and putting things in her hair. She usually wears make-up; if she's feeling lazy, she might not put on much, though. She's very anal about her looks and takes amazing care of herself, always doing hair treatments to assure herself her hair is soft and thick and bouncy, always making sure to lotion her skin after showers, always washing her face twice a day. She's obsessed with how she appears because of her passion; first impressions matter, after all.

Personality:



Alexandra comes off as very... dramatic. Naturally, she's been in the theatre scene since she was very young; being dramatic is a natural part of her being. It isn't like she overreacts- okay, she does. She doesn't like admitting to it though. She's loud-mouthed, with a blunt honesty she knocks people over the head with, and doesn't like to be wrong. Even if she knows she's wrong, she won't admit it. She can't handle people who are offended easily, or who can't take a joke, no matter how dark the joke is she will find it funny in some sort of way, and even jokes about the broken home she grew up in. Humor is a way for her to mask her softer emotions on matters. Now, don't fret, she is nice. She won't be rude to you until you're rude to her. In social situations, she knows how to small talk, spark a conversation, and she can be a bit strange and quirky, always saying random things because she doesn't really care what someone thinks of her, until it comes to her talents and abilities, that is. She can be overwhelming, though, always wanting to be in a spotlight, and so doing that overdramatic thing to be there. She likes to be a leader, rather than a follower, and prefers all the attention centered on her. She loves debates and arguing but physical fighting is something she will avoid at any cost (unless it's admitting she's wrong, then yeah, not at any cost). She can fight, she just doesn't want too. She sees violence as a stupid act and prefers to use her words as weapons instead. She is very competitive, always seeing someone as her rival, and when she sets her mind to something, she is very determined and most of the time, she gets it done. She isn't a quitter.

She is very body conscious, considering the career she wants to go into prides women on their bodies, and so she is often seen watching what she puts in her mouth, and getting up at five in the morning for a five mile run. She's obsessive with it, not realizing that it's actually an unhealthy obsession. She doesn't get angry or annoyed easily, unless her own person is being put in question or someone is telling her she's wrong. She's quicker to annoyance than anger, though. Most of the time, she'll use humor to deflect when someone hurts her feelings, though, and pretends it doesn't bother her; and, she tries to get back at the person by saying something in French, since majority of people she has met doesn't know the language, and she enjoys watching people grow confused and not telling them what she said (or lying about it). She has been acting nearly all her life, after all, and she is a natural at it. She does have a tendency to use that talent to get her way, however, and she isn't afraid to stoop to manipulation to get her way for something she really wants. In the end, though, Alex is just someone who wants an honest relationship, be it friendship or more, but with the way she was raised, she isn't quite sure how to come about that.

History:



Alexandra was born right smack dab in the middle of Paris, France. She spent most her childhood there, with two loving and happy parents, or so it seemed. She was nine, having started theatre locally at the age of six, and having before always been mimicking movies and TV shows and putting on her own little "shows," when her life came crashing down around her. Her mother had been having an affair and crazily enough, it was an online affair, with an American man in the States. Alexandra was taught both English and French, it being a requirement during her schooling. When her father found out of the affair, he had been furious, even more so when her mother announced she was moving to the States and taking Alex with. Alexandra had always been a daddy's girl and she was very distraught to be ripped away from her father but as always, the mother got full custody of the child, and they moved to the States. For the longest time, Alexandra refused to act correctly in school. It wasn't until she was fourteen, and the theatre teacher approached her and revealed he spoke French, sparking a conversation between them, that she began coming out of her closed off and angry shell. Before, she had been in many fights in school, the reasons she didn't like physical fighting now, and didn't have any friends, being dubbed that 'weird French kid who only snapped off answers and statements in French.' Her mother didn't know how to help her and her new American father was shitty, not even trying to get through to her, not that she would have let him.

So, her mother had contacted the theatre teacher herself, and told him of how Alexandra's passion for theatre used to be when she was young. Thus, at fourteen, the theatre teacher sparked a friendship with her and offered Alexandra a small part in the upcoming play, just to start nudging her back into the theatre scene. Alex agreed, feeling like someone was finally getting her, and from there on, she became happier. She still missed her father terribly, her mother never letting her have contact with him, and she discovered he had moved anyway. When she became a freshman in high school, she was the best drama student around, being a teacher's pet helped a lot, and from then on, for each play or musical, she got the lead. She could mimic an American accent quite well, as well as almost any other accent, and could sing and dance beautifully. She still didn't really make friends, though; she conversed just fine with everyone backstage but she could never click like she used to be able too. She was always gunning to be in the spotlight and turned out, a lot of people didn't like that type of attitude. Her theatre teacher tried to talk to her about it but even he couldn't convince her to calm down and just be... nicer. She even began to distance herself from him when he kept pushing the matter. Her senior year had been the worse; she didn't get the lead for the play. A freshman had swept in and took it from her. She was hurt and angry and confused. She was the best of the best! Or so she had thought.

She had gotten second lead but that didn't matter. She threw the script right in her theatre teacher's face and stormed out. She finished high school and demanded that her mother's husband, the American jackass as she called him, pay for her to attend a very private, very expensive college in NYC, wanting to get a step up by taking acting, dancing, and singing classes. Her mother had been against it, wanting her to stay in Montana with them, but Alexandra hated the place and wanted to leave. Her mother's husband never liked Alexandra, only saw her as a spoiled and annoying brat, and agreed to pay for it. He was wealthy, considering he had paid for them to move there, and he was the CEO of a private business. Alex's mother hadn't been happy but had accepted it for what it was. Alex had been making her life living hell since they moved to America anyway. So away Alexandra went, to join a very uppity college, and though Alex was doing very well in college, and was learning new things and becoming an amazing performer, she still missed France and her father terribly, had never stopped missing it, and dreams of going back one day, even if it meant leaving NYC and Broadway; it felt like a string left untied, she didn't get a proper goodbye with her father, or with the country she loved and was so fond of, and she wanted to go there one last time

Why do they want to win a million dollars?:



To go back to France and try to find her real father. She doesn't want to ask the American Jackass for money to go there, she wanted to do that on her own.
