Here's my character submission, let me know if I need to change anything.

Name: Alvis Bernhard
Age: 17
Gender: Male

Personality: Alvis is always looking for something new. He loves to make friends along the way, but if you rub him the wrong way he can hold a grudge. He's easily excited, but also has quite a temper if you can rouse it out of him. He's competitive and hates to lose, but is always looking for a chance to improve himself.

Race: Human

Bio: Alvis's family was completely average in every sense of the word. He grew up in a stifling, boring city in the United States of Saherta. But from a young age, Alvis wanted to wander, to explore, and to experience all there was that life had to offer. At first his parents tried to hold him back, to shelter him from the dangers of the world. But he continued to insist until they gave in to his adventurous nature. When Alvis learned about Hunters, he immediately decided to pursue the career. His parents made him a deal--they would let him try taking the Hunter's Exam if he could prove to them he was ready for it. It took several years of intense training, but finally Alvis forced his parents to acknowledge that he was as ready as he could be. He set off to find the location of the Hunter's Exam the year he turned 17. His goal as a Hunter would be to travel the world and explore unknown lands, and preserve wildlife and nature.

Skills/Proficiencies:
Shingen-Ryu Kung Fu - As part of his training for the Hunter's Exam, Alvis enrolled in a martial arts dojo near his home. However, he's only been trained in the physical arts--he still knows nothing about Nen, only a meditation technique that he thinks is solely to focus one's mind.

Athleticism - For several years now Alvis has maintained a grueling and ever-increasing exercise regimen that ranges from one handed pullups to free running, and his physical attributes are well above-average. 

Survival Training - As much for his love of the outdoors as for his training, Alvis has read about and practiced a number of survival techniques, and can reliably live by himself for a limited amount of time in various environments with only a few tools and resources.

Quirks:
Likes - Most kinds of food, rock climbing, ocean sunsets, starry skies, working up a sweat
Dislikes - Anything with a strong sour or bitter taste, the colors gray and white, crowded places, pollution.
