(I'm kinda just reposting the flavor text from his toplevel since I wove it into the prompt, also im lazy-)
Alexander Plätzchen- or "Xander" to his family and closer friends, what few he did have (though the runners of this little "game" had decided his name was Sparkling now, as if he hadn't been subject to enough ridicule- was regarded as a top student. As one of the few exchange students (he's from Germany specifically) in the class, he'd chosen the path of studying abroad, a decision he would unsurprisingly come to regret. He obviously stood out among his peers, though it wasn't in a troubled student sort of fashion...quite the opposite, really. He tried, genuinely, to do the things he was told. He came to class on time, studied diligently for all exams, and never turned in an assignment late. He'd been rapidly branded as a teacher's pet, a brown noser whose sole desire was to act like he was better than the rest of the students in the class. That wasn't how it was, of course, but he could hardly convince his peers of that fact...nor did it seem to really register with those tasked to shepherd them to begin with.
He's an only kid in his family and is determined to do them proud, so honestly half of the reason he's upset he's been included in this game is due to how bad it's going to make his parents look. They're good people after all, he's done his best to be the good son they raised him to be, and now he gets himself into THIS mess. If he hadn't become a victim in the game, he would have gone on to further his education in management, as his dream was to return home to begin his own business.
