Gregory Moyer
From Survival Of The Fittest
Name: Gregory Moyer
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Grade: 10th
School: Bathurst High
Hobbies and Interests: Conspiracy Theories, UFO Studies, Astronomy
Appearance: The first thing that jumps out at you about Gregory is his frizzy black hair which is certainly unbrushed. It will poke you in the eye if you're not careful. His green eyes are shielded by a beat-up pair of glasses. His buck teeth are also quite prominent. He's 5'10, and about 135 pounds, slightly on the scrawny side. He's slightly pale from his hours in front of the computer, and has very large, thin hands that are often more animated than his face is.
Biography: Gregory was born to a loving Jewish family near Trenton. He's the oldest of four children, and has by far the highest IQ in his family. However, he doesn't hold it against his family at all. He feels very protective of them, often helping his younger brothers (Roger,8 and Lee, 12) with their homework and helping corral his sister (Mary, 3). His father (Ike) runs a small grocer in the downtown called Moyer's. Gregory's mom is a school teacher in the local elementary school.
Consequently Greg was very well educated at a young age, and grew up to be extremely erudite. Unfortunately, while Greg is well above average intelligence, he lacks an form of common sense and ability to discern what is truth and what isn't. In short, Greg is a natural born sucker. He's very likable and sociable but has a habit of choosing the wrong sort as friends. His younger brother Lee tends to balance him out and keep him somewhat grounded. Gregory also finds conspiracy theories fascinating, partly because he thinks they're true. No-one has been able to convince him otherwise. His counter argument is always "That's what they want you to think, but..." followed by a long spiel of either distorted facts or complete fallacy that he pulled off the internet, backed up by some of his patent sophistry.
He actually watched the original Survival of the Fittest, and is an avid fan. He has a small shrine site to Hawley Faust, and is eagerly awaiting the finale. Greg actually believes that Mr. Danya is a government agent from a secret underground Nazi organization, pointing to the title and the concept of the ubermensch. Consequently he wants to put a couple of holes in Mr. Danya's Forehead. Greg really hates Nazis.
Greg also believes that he was abducted by a UFO, although he doesn't remember precisely what happened. The details change and are generally very fuzzy. But for three years before the alleged incident, he was an avid UFO buff, reading Contact by Carl Sagan, The Allagash Incident, and several other seminal UFO works, and getting involved in the online community.
He also enjoys building small contraptions, having already invented a more efficient spoon, a clockwork puppy dog that shuffles around in circles for his sister, and an actual remote control Transformer for Lee.
After school he hopes to immigrate to Israel and become a cryptologist, and his math classes show it. Algebra 2 and Pre-calc on top of a full load of other classes.
Advantages: He knows how the show works and saw the situations that the previous class of SOTF got themselves into. He also has some tactical ability and does know a little Krav Maga.
Disadvantages: He isn't very connected to reality. He also has the physique of a rotten tomato. Basically, he'll be good in a group and then wander off and die to something stupid, like tripping into the river and drowning.

Designated Weapon: Baby Doll
Conclusions: Conspiracy theories, eh? Given the situation, it wouldn't surprise me if B05's imagination ran away with him and he suddenly thought all the other students on the island were out to get him -- oh wait, they are. If he watched the original SOTF, then he should already know that strategizing and trying to escape is futile, so maybe he'll just snap and provide us with a good show instead.
