## **Diego Ortega - The Egotistical Dweeb**

### **Description/Personality:**

**Diego takes immense pride in his numerous "mad skills". He is actually an incredibly resourceful young man of many talents and has won several awards. Diego's geeky interests and his know-it-all personality often make him an outcast among people. His biggest weakness is his strength and egotistical attitude.**

### **Facts:**

* **However, he’s still quite prone to receiving injuries, and he received multiple when his dad forced him to play soccer.**
* **His music taste is incredibly diverse, and he is capable of playing many different instruments. He also took part in most of his school’s music-related programs.**
* **He secretly makes his own solo rap songs.**
* **Diego also has a spectacular memory, which also allows him to act as a human encyclopedia of fun facts. In addition, he’s also capable of remembering dates, names, and riddles, among other things. And he’ll *absolutely* correct somebody if anyone either lies or tells inaccurate facts in his presence.**

### **Interactions:**

**Allies:**

* **Diego Ortega & Camila Guerrero - Friends: They both share sarcastic quips with each other and get annoyed by the oddities of the other members of their group. Diego would see Camila as scary and try to steer clear when she's mad.**
* **Diego Ortega & Emilio Reyes - Best Friends: Emilio teaching Diego how to pull off devious pranks and Diego developing and getting use to the weird people thanks to his exposure to devious dirt boy, Emilio. I can see them getting into fun pranks and being hilarious pain magnets.**
* **Diego Ortega & Maria Alvarez - Acquaintance/Friends: Diego finds her mean and nasty, but attractive.**

**Enemies**

* **Diego Ortega & Eduardo Mace**
* **Diego Ortega & Teresa Garcia**
* **Diego Ortega & Isabelle Martin**

## **Emilio Reyes - The Devious Farmer**

### **Description/Personality:**

**Emilio is a farmer with a scheming mind. His devious nature is not a force to be reckoned with; he will make sure that he comes out on top in the end. Despite his devious side, Emilio is an eccentric farm boy with unusual habits. It can come across as humorous and charming in a way. His biggest weakness is socializing and overconfident.**

### **Improve:**

* **Making him a bit more cutthroat, without losing his new charm, the problem is that Emilio technically not do anything.**
* **Emilio can be smart, not the kind of smart like the others, but mostly based on his instinct and life experience. He is socially awkward, after all, he was never a team player, that can be used for some character development. Make Emilio help with ideas that go way outside the box, and sparkle a few with "my gut feeling" says with no other explanation than sheer instinct.**
* **I would love for Emilio to get Fang, it does not have to kill him, just utterly defeat him in a team effort.**
* **He is devious, so be devious! the idea of fake trophies is great, target enemy teams in an underhanded manner, ruthless but effective tactics, You do not want blackmail? ok he can now use positive reinforcement, making people think he is friendly of exploiting the goodness of some characters like Sam, he can still be a comedy relief, but balancing can be tricky.**
* **For me, a perfect version of Emilio would be having him as a minor villain with some comedic relief value. Make him perceptive, but not too smart. Keep the devious side with some of the insecurities. He just needed to be effective to a sane degree, without making him a villain-stu, which even the ladder had issues with that, but at least had insecurities, interesting gimmicks with others and also sometimes he does loose his grove and fails, making for a much more interesting character to watch.**
* **He has to deal with the fact that his isolation and jerk persona has led him to not know how to interact with a lady properly.**
* **The only ones that may be continued would be \_\_\_\_ and/or \_\_\_\_\_ taking revenge on him for their eliminations.**
* **He has a soft side for females because of his past.**

### **Facts:**

* **Emilio has a rather interesting music taste. His current favorite genre may be hip-hop (as evidenced by Kanye West being his favorite artist), but he also grew up hearing a lot of country and southern rock artists, thanks to his family. And he still listens to those genres on his own from time to time.**
* **Emilio doesn't have a mom or a dad.**
* **Emilio is well known as a schemer, but he is the dictionary example of clever, but not smart. His strategy is very effective: can blackmail you if necessary, but is also dumb and isn’t careful. But aside from that, he likes hunting, sowing, carving, going to the shooting range on weekends, and also collects animal fangs. He has a soft side for his sister, Ximena, that he wants to get an education and go out of the farm. If he ever won the show, he’d use part of his winnings to pay her for a good education, in addition to saving his family's farm (he, on the other hand, don’t have any plans to go to college).**
* **Despite him seeming klutzy and being prone to suffer accidents, Emilio also has good hand-eye coordination. Outside of manipulating people, he enjoys wood-cutting, hunting, fishing, and dismantling things. Even if he also enjoys breaking things, he is quite good at dismantling them and using the parts for profit. He also is quite good at making spirits and drinking, even if his mixing techniques are a little rough.**
* **Emilio is stronger than people realize with all of his farm strength and working at a young age.**
* **As evidenced by his love of dirt, he’s got very strong taste buds. He would even put dirt into his food whenever there weren't enough real ingredients to feed everyone. Now, he just does it cause he likes the taste, and very few people can stomach his gritty, earthy cooking.**
* **Nowadays, on top of occasionally helping out on the farm, he works as a truck driver who distributes goods to Canada.**
* **He has a pet hamster named Melvin.**
* **He believes in UFOS**
* **Emilio's father fought in Afghanistan from 2001-04. His father being absent for 3 years and his father’s changed attitude on return started to have an effect on Emilio in his middle school and early high school years**
* **Emilio's “just business” attitude came from his father before he went off to fight**
* **Most of his criminal behavior has come from a place of subconsciously wanting release from his anger.**
* **He writes poems when he's bored.**
* **He has a surprising soft spot for cute things (especially babies).**
* **He casually drives a tractor.**
* **He's been arrested three times for stealing a pig, rooster, and truck.**
* **He's scared of sharks (especially fang) because of an incident that happened when he was young**
* **He kind of has a soft spot deep down but doesn't want to show it around anyone.**

### **Interactions:**

**Allies:**

* **Emilio Reyes & Camila Guerrero**
* **Emilio Reyes & Diego Ortega**
* **Emilio Reyes & Maria Alvarez**

**Enemies:**

* **Emilio Reyes & Eduardo Mace**
* **Emilio Reyes & Teresa Garcia**
* **Emilio Reyes & Isabelle Martin**
* **Emilio Reyes & Ortiz Pablo**

* **Emilio Reyes & Isabelle Martin - Enemy: Emilio Reyes laughed when Isabelle insulted Diego's performance. Isabelle would catch on to Emilio's schemes and would hate him for it and try to expose him. I'm not certain if she'll be successful or not.**
* **Emilio Reyes & Eduardo Mace - Rivals/Enemy: Emilio would likely make fun of his cadet experience (as well as maybe his fashion tastes). Eduardo would try to have Emlio show a little more respect to him in response, and they would either become decent friends as a result, or it could also (more likely) end up resulting in some kind of rivalry. They wouldn't get along initially, Emilio viewing Eduardo as an uptight goody goody, and Eduardo viewing Emilio as a selfish trouble maker. However, after Eduardo sees Emilio's soft side, he'd see potential in him and frequently badger Emilio into trying to join his military school, believing that with the right discipline, Emilio would make a stellar cadet, to Emilio's annoyance.**
* **Emilio Reyes & Maria Alvarez - Friends: Emilio helps Maria get out of her shell and be more confident.**
* **Emilio Reyes & Camila Guerrero - Crush/Girlfriend: Camila needs someone that can make her feel special and beautiful. The only person who is known for that is....... Emilio. Emilio is the missing piece in the puzzle. Emilio can make a girl feel good about herself. With Emilio at her side, Camila slowly starts to open up, and feels good about herself. With Emilio's unconditional love, she feels special, and beautiful, and brightens her demeanor. And as she jokingly bosses Emilio around, she lightens up on Maria and they reunite and come to friendly terms, and Camila gives up on getting her mother's love, because now, she has someone that loves her for being her. And someone that loves her only. Emilio can bring the feuding friends together. Emilio and Camila are opposite attracts.**

### **Description/Personality:**

**Private Eduardo Mace reporting for duty! Eduardo's moral code lies on never leaving a man behind. With military experience, he is a noble soldier who's mindset lies on teamwork. He has a strong heart because of his compassion for teammates. His selflessness does make him the butt of jokes sadly. His biggest weakness is his kindness.**

## **Ortiz Pablo - The Sarcasm Bookworm**

### **Description/Personality:**

**Ortiz is a teenager with an intense case of mysophobia, nothing major! He considers solving conflicts with logical sense, and he can turn whiny when things don't go his way. It's hard for him to put up with these annoying people when he's trying to keep himself together. He comes off as being sarcastic, cynical, pessimistic, and lazy to most though he is far from being unethical. He is extremely intelligent but finds physical activity as laughable as the ridiculous antics of some of his peers. His biggest weakness is socializing and laziness for physical strength.**
