Name: Nadia Chamlain

Gender: Female

Age: Recently 17.

Weapon: She always has a double edged dagger in her boot.

Appearance:
Spoiler
Image

Personality: Nadia is very reserved, reserved and seemingly timid, but she actually just does not have a lot to say. She enjoys keeping to herself but knows that to win this money she will have to work with some one as a team. She can work together but can be a bit hard to get along with as she is always positive her way is the best way. Once you grow on her she will remain loyal to you until you do some thing to break that trust. Though she will protect friends she is her own first priority. She has never formed a bond strong enough to put some one before herself. She remains cool and collected though this some times makes her seem snobby. But once she opens up to you (if ever) she can reveal that she does care for people.

History:
Nadia was an orphan since the age of six. She lived in the slums of the neighborhood when she had parents and simply stayed there when both died of influenza. She brought herself up with the help of her cousin, Grayer. But she never experienced a proper upbringing. While other children were taught math, their letters, and music she was taught how to remain invisible and silent in the streets, how to steal and pickpocket. As she grew up she stopped feeling guilt after stealing a wallet or an apple. The world was an eat or be eaten kind of place and she accepted this.
When she was thirteen when her cousin finally taught her how to read and worked her hardest to find books every since. Stealing a book seemed almost as important as stealing food or money. Reading became her escape from the far less than perfect reality she lived in. Thought her collection of books was small, she read and reread them as much as she could, believing that it was a gift to have such a luxury in a place she lived in. She continues to believe this in her twenties. Though she watched many girls that she was once friends with go into prostitution as a means of making money she vowed never to let herself stoop to that level. She needed money but she would never let any one touch her like that. After reading fairy tales she was a firm believer that her prince would come one day to sweep her off her feet and pay for every thing she needed in life. And if he was no prince then she would even settle for the next best thing the books offered, true love. She became a bit of a romantic at heart.
But as she grew into her later teens, still stealing and working at small odd jobs the ideas of a fairy tale began to fade slightly, true, she wanted the true love rumored in fairy tales but the prince seemed less and less likely. And when on a dark night in an alley a man tried to force himself on her she managed to take his dagger and kill him. Her cousin had talked of how to defend herself before and she tried her hardest to feel no remorse as she twisted the blade in his chest. this was her first kill and she prayed her only one. But it was at this moment that she vowed no one would get in her way, no one would try and mess with her plans and if this meant defending herself like this then this is what she would have to do.

Other: Nadia will accept love but is not specifically looking for it. And her main goal here is the money.

Name: Faye Jensen

Gender: Female

Age:
17

Weapon:
Mulberry-wood bow (and arrows, obviously) with daggers attached to both ends.

Appearance:
Spoiler

Faye is short and slender with long fingers and light blonde hair. Her hair goes a little past her shoulders and she has stunning green eyes. She usually wears white or dark grey, jeans, and a pair of high-top converse.

Personality: She's kind of obnoxious sometimes, but is usually nice. Although she doesn't have much mercy in her she won't kill you if you give her a good reason (or she wants to use you). In her life it was always 'Take the chance before someone else does or it blows up in your face later.'.

History: Living in the middle of Nebraska when Faye was young, her parents hunted around in the woods for a long time. Eventually they settled in a small log cabin 30 miles from the nearest town so that Faye could go to the local (if you call 30 miles of distance 'local') private school. Her parents weren't exactly 'well off' but they got by and always had enough food, warmth, and clothes.
Although Faye was happy she was always craving attention. She quickly became one of the most popular girls in her school and took many risks to get there and stay on top. She joined the contest for the fame and glory.

Other:
Up for love if you interest her enough and if you can get her to trust you.

Here is my character...

Name: Mavrick Lock

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Weapon: Morning star; a medieval club like weapon which incudes one or more spikes. Used in a combination of blunt-force and puncture attack to kill or wound th enemy.

Appearance: Black hair in a crew cut though a little longer on the top than a tradititional crew cut. Steel gray eyes. A sharp nose, a strong jaw line and dark skin. He stands at 5'11 yet while he has a full frame, he still has a touch of that lankinss that hints of a few more inches to grow.

Personality: He is neither outspoken or quiet. He doesn't take anything too seriously and it take a lot to ruffle his feathers. When he does talk, he tends to come across as flippent, sarcastic and as though he could careless. In truth, he misses very little and is alway weighing the odds and assessing the situation.

History: Growing up as the only child with a successful self-made bussinessman as his father Mavrick has never wanted for anything, material, that is.
With a father whos never seemed to be around and an alcoholic mother that fills the void her absent husband leave's with wine and drugs, Mavrick has been pretty much self raised, making him furiously independent. Now, however, his father is finally paying him some attention, even if it is only to groom him to take over the family bussiness. However, the last thing Mavrick wants is to follow in his father's footstep and joins the game as a act of defiance.

Other: He boxes.

Can't wait to get started!

I know that you're full, but if one of your reserved males doesn't enter a profile and you want to start, I have a character for this SB. So you could just say I'm your back up ;)

Ooh, Dragonette--you're welcome to have my spot, if you'd like. I may be starting a new job soon, so I'd rather the spot be given to a gal who can dedicate to the SB and have fun with it, too!

Name: Nate Wickhum

Gender: Male

Age: 17 almost 18

Weapon: A light sword http://images03.olx.com/ui/1/20/42/4271842_1.jpg

Appearance:
Spoiler
Image


Personality: Nate is a book worm. He's read sooooo many books in his life: mystery, adventure, romance, sci-fi, you name it. And actually, his life is basically his books. All he knows and all he does, is in his books. And just like the way he reads different books, he has different personalities. Like I said, the books are his life, he practically molds his life around the characters. So he doesn't have a definite personality, he just goes by the characters in his book and asks himself what they'd do in so and so situation.

History: He's a pretty average kid. He's always had enough money. His parents are rather rich, so he lives in a big house and they even have maids; so he's never had any hardship there. He goes to a large school, so it's not hard for him to go unnoticed in the hallways, and he doesn't mind it that way. School activities would include cross-country and fencing, he doesn't excel at either, but he's not bad.
The reason he's in this thing is because he wants the adventure. He's really sick of getting nowhere and doing nothing in his life, so he decided to go out and be like the characters in his books.

Other: Up for love, I guess, but he's such an amateur about it! Haha. All he knows of romance is the stuff that he's read, besides that he's clueless. Well, actually, that's a lie, he did have a crush on one of the maids this one time...haha but she quit. Guess she wasn't interested and found it awkward :/
Oh, and, random fact: He did do Tae Kwon Do (lets not mention how it was spelled earlier... XD) and gymnastics. But only for a year and when he was way younger.
