• Character Name: "Cassius" Casimiro Fausto Gallegos
• Age: 17
• Hometown: Olympia, Washington
• Ethnicity: Colombian

• Looks Like: Cassius is a towering man standing at six feet and four inches tall. He has short, scruffy, and black hair that usually looks unkempt. His skin is quite tan due to his heritage, even though he lives in the cloud and rainy state of Washington. He has hazel colored eyes with flecks of jade green that are slightly deep-set in his face. Cassius has well toned muscles, putting him in between husky and slender at a comfortably toned physique. Mind you, he isn’t overly muscular, just moreso toned overall (like Justin or Trent). His sense of style is fairly simple, consisting of loose-fitting band T-shirts and skinny jeans.

• Personality: Cassius seems very stoic and unfeeling person at a glance, and he isn’t always one to readily show how he’s feeling, but looks can be deceiving. He’s very in tune with how others are feeling, and although he’ll give no outward clues, the emotions of others often influence his own. If the people he’s around are happy and laughing, he’ll relax and be easygoing with them. If the people around him are sad, he can’t help but slip into a sorrowful mood with them. This can be both a gift and a curse to him, as he’s learned over the years. Cassius won’t tolerate bullshit; if there’s any gossiping or underhanded behavior, he’ll step in and get to the bottom of it. Other than that sort of situation, he generally stays out of other people’s business. He knows that people have secrets that need to be kept, and won’t press people to tell him things he probably shouldn’t know. Cassius is a man who does not hold back when the situation depends on him. He will take the stand, step forward, and give it all he’s got and then some. His biggest weakness is that he cannot bear the thought of letting people down. He strives to be the rock and foundation people can rely on, so when he falters or cannot keep his promises, it pains him greatly. Other weaknesses are that he can be indecisive, and that he can be quick to make assumptions and slow to forgive. If you hurt him, he won’t soon forget it.

• What is your character’s end-goal: Cassius is a single father; he accidentally knocked up his (now ex) girlfriend when they were both fifteen. She was an honor roll student with an endless list of possibilities in her future, while Cassius was always fairly average in terms of school. Therefore, he shouldered the task of raising the child and keeping it a secret to all who the mother was (Save for his family and the mother’s family). Cassius is only seventeen, though. He doesn’t have the money to raise a child. His family barely had the money to raise him, and although they mean well, they simply can’t help him provide for his daughter. Cassius needs the million to adequately raise his daughter and give her the life she deserves.
• Why Should This Character be in Season 3: I feel like Cassius is so much more than the “tough guy with a heart” trope. In fact, he’s actually not that “tough” of a tough guy, though he may come off as such. He’s got passion in spades, and if he has a clear goal in mind, nothing can stop him. He also has room for development, coming into the competition knowing only what he’s been through on the small island of Maui. While he has the drive and the means to get far, he doesn’t quite know where he’s going, just that he needs to get there. This season can put him in the right direction to find his destination alongside other competitors. His passion and dependability can be used to help other characters develop concurrently with himself, making him a versatile player. Plus, if a more dramatic character starts anything, he’ll step in and do his damnedest to end it, even if it’s not his place to step into a conflict. This can cause even more conflict much to his dismay.

((This is Cassius, my potential OC for season three. He’s already submitted and rated, but if he’s accepted I want to make him both interesting and able to compete with the likes of some of the outstanding characters I’ve seen.

That being said, I’d love to hear some feedback! What do you like, what could use improvement, and what general comments do you have on Cassius?))
