Name: Kris Doney Age: 20 Residence: Boston, MA Occupation: University Student Minimum 50-word biography: Kris is someone who is always willing to make a best friend. Whenever he isn't studying for his classes, he spends his time hanging out with his group of friends. He has a reputation around his university for being open and confident and always willing to include those who are considered loners, no matter who they are. He is working hard to get his degree so that he can get his dream job of becoming a therapist. Background (no need to get too detailed if you addressed most of it in the bio): Kris has been and always will be a native of Boston as he has lived there his whole life. His mother is a social worker and his father works as a construction worker. He has always been a very friendly person and made many friends during his time in the education system. He was never seen without a smile and always a kind word to give to other people. However, one day in his senior year of high school, his whole life changed. He got into a car with one of his friends as the two were going to go pick up another friend and then go see a movie. During the drive, his friend became distracted texting their other friend and wasn't paying attention, causing him not to see another car coming towards them, resulting in an accident. When he woke up, Kris found out that while his friend was miraculously fine, he did not make it out so lucky as Kris lost his left leg. The doctors told him that it would be a long and difficult road to recovery; but rather than be despondent about it, Kris decided he wasn't going to let this incident ruin his life and he worked hard towards walking on his prosthetic leg and being able to return to a normal life. His recovery was much faster than the doctors had predicted because Kris challenged himself every day and never gave up, even when it got tough. Within no time, he was able to transition back into his regular routine without losing his social charm and friendly nature. He decided to sign up for Survivor because he wants to prove to himself that he can do anything he sets his mind to and prove to everyone out there the importance of never giving up. Character Archetype (Hero, Healer, Hustler, Villain, Mastermind, Blubbering Idiot, etc.): Social Genius (I don't know if this is the exact word) Strategy: Kris's plan going into the game is to try and be an observer. He's going to help provide for his tribe and act as though he's only there for the experience when he's actually viewing how each person is playing. He knows that he may be seen as a jury threat due to his prosthetic leg, but he's going to try and get people to understand that he's not going to automatically win because of a missing leg. He also plans to be friendly with people and make bonds with people so that they can help keep him safe and in the loop during votes. Strengths/Weaknesses (Surviving, Gameplay, Challenges, etc.): Kris is a strong performer in challenges and has a natural way of clicking with people so the social and strategic parts of the game will be easy for him. However, sometimes he can feel bad about voting people out that he cares about and will have a difficult time sometimes balancing game moves with protecting allies. Anything else?: Kris tends to wear long jeans in order to hide his prosthetic leg. He also doesn't want to be seen as "the guy with the missing leg", but rather would like to seen as just himself and it annoys him when people remember him as the former rather than the latter.
