Two tribes.
Country: United States of America
Human Name: Alfred F. Jones
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Alliances that break as easy as they are formed.
Appearance:
When you first spot Alfred in a crowd, the first thing most people notice is his hair. It is a brilliant, shiny, almost golden shade of blond, and it is very noticeable. He has a cowlick that he can never seem to keep down, no matter what type of hair product he tries to use on it. The next thing you'll notice are his eyes. They are a clear, unwavering blue, almost as blue as the sky itself. His stunning eyes lay behind the frames of his rectangular glasses. His golden blond hair frames his face, his bangs parted to the left. It is short and cut cleanly.
Alfred's sense of fashion is quite casual. He doesn't really care about his appearance too much, as long as he is wearing something that he likes and that is comfortable to him. He can often be caught wearing jeans and a t-shirt, complete with a set of tennis shoes. He is always seen with a set of dog tags around his neck. He occasionally likes to wear bands around his wrist. Depending on how warm or cold it is, he dresses either in single or double layers. Again, depending on the weather, he will occasionally sport a pair of black gloves.
Personality:
Alfred is a cheerful, energetic, happy-go-lucky kind of guy. He is quite sociable, and does his best to get along with everyone. He is quite the optimist, with the ability to find a positive in almost any situation.
Alfred is the type of guy who is determined to get what he wants. If he has his eyes set on something, he will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants. He prefers to avoid it, but he will stoop to low methods if he has to in order to satisfy himself.
He is happy, he is outrageously happy almost all of the time. Some people find this to be kind of annoying, but he doesn't seem to notice if they do. He has difficulty reading situations, and will often say or think something outside of context for the current situation.
He is as loyal as a faithful canine companion. He will stick with his friends through thick and thin, no matter what. If he forms an alliance with someone, that person can rest easy knowing that he would never break it. However, in a game like Survivor, some people could easily use this to their advantage.
A prize only one person will win.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
One of Alfred's strengths is his actual strength. Often being called fat in the past, he constantly went to the gym to run on the treadmills and lift weights. He has built up his endurance and strength because of this, and he can prove to be difficult to beat in a physical challenge.
Another strength of his is his charming personality; he draws people in with his friendly, outgoing attitude, and does what he can to win people's trust. He loves being surrounded by friends, because he hates to be alone.
One of his weaknesses is trying to plan strategies. He is smart in his own way, but coming up with a deep and thorough strategy of any kind is difficult for him to do. He would rather rely on someone else to come up with the strategies for him.
Another weakness is his love of food. He's almost always munching on something, and being in a position where food is not plentifully and readily available is not a good thing. He can have food withdrawals, and can get quite grumpy if he has gone without food for too long.

History:
Alfred lived a relatively normal life back at home. He was a freshman in college with average grades, living in the dorms at his university. He had plenty of friends, a regular job, and loved to eat. However, his love of food had worked against him, and he started to gain weight. People often made fun of him in high school, and for a while he wasn't his usual cheery self. He began going to the gym nightly, and soon he was in shape, fit, and he completely remade himself.
He quickly became popular, and he was living the good life. However, he always remembered what it was like to get made fun of, so he would stand up to anyone he saw picking on another person, no matter what the reason was.
Audition:
....Static.
"Is this thing on..?"
A camera being set down. Footsteps are heard as someone shuffles onto the screen, grinning into the screen.
"Hey there! My name's Alfred F. Jones. What the F stands for, you can leave up to your imaginations~" He sat back in his bean bag chair, shifting into a more comfortable position as he winked. "Anyways, I'm nineteen years old, I work as a busboy at Denny's, and I'm currently attending college." He paused, as if not sure what else to say, and reached for something off screen. He brought a sheet of paper back with him, adjusting his glasses as he glanced down at it. He quickly glanced back up at the camera again.
"So, you want to know why I would be a good competitor on Survivor? Well, I've been watching Survivor since Season One and I know how to play the game," he grinned again, speaking in an almost bragging tone, "And I know that you always need to pick a player that the fans will love. And I would be that player!" He laughed, slipping his t-shirt off to expose his upper body.
"Most of the men on Survivor are charming, good looking, or nicely toned. Lucky for you, you have all three wrapped up on one person!" He grabbed the shirt again, re-clothing himself after his speech. "Not only that, but I know for a fact you always pick a social person. Someone who his great charisma and easily gets on people's good sides. I have that great quality, too!" He got up, walking over to pick up the camera and hold it up near his face.
"Well, I'll be waiting for your call! If you want a real winner on Survivor, you know who to call~"
A beeping sound..
More static....
