Name: Ned DeRosario
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: [img]http://i.imgur.com/mlVz7xD.jpg[/img]
Motivation: Ned never was able to prove himself to anyone outside of his vast knowledge of many various subjects. He's out to beat everyone on the island by outwitting the competition, and demonstrating his superior mind on international television.

Backstory: Ned has always been a shut in. Never once left his house when he didn't absolutely have to, he always preferred to stay inside and absorb all the information he could- off the internet and from books. He was also always picked on for being rather scrawny and unkempt, but it never even bothered his ego once.

Personality: Ned is your stereotypical nerd. He knows all sorts of odd and random things that most people would deem useless information. But he's proud to demonstrate such knowledge when opportunity knocks. This most likely comes from his antisocial background, and as such he never learned when to keep his mouth shut. He's a pretty nice guy for a know it all, though, and is well aware of what is at stake.

He's not the strongest physical competitor, but when you can get past his vast overconfidence and start listening to him instead of ignoring him (which people tend to do), he can be a great brain to have in many challenges.

Misc: He's got a hoarse voice. He also has many awkward quirks, one of which is his fear of crunchy peanut butter. Highly irrational, yes, but to him, its crunchiness is just terrifyingly unnatural. He's also very clumsy, but claims to have a "sexy bod" and "wicked talents".
