You have me very interested, Mister Humphrey... (also I started this character hours ago but fell asleep... so I totally didn't steal my ideas from people who already applied lol. Fun coincidence.)

Occupation: Ghost Writer
Bio: Abeer was born in India and moved to England with his parents at the age of 8. He was a high academic achiever at school and found a passion for writing not long after. It didn't take long for him to become fluent in English, but writing was a way for him to expand his vocabulary above and beyond. Despite excelling in science and math classes, Abeer chose to pursue a career as a writer, much to the dismay of his family.
He started small, winning some accolades for his short stories and novellas that he entered into competitions for measly cash prizes. It became clear that Abeer didn't always love the spotlight and the praise - especially when it became about him and his heritage, rather than the words on the page. After doing some research, he decided he liked the idea of being a ghost writer, and was hired by a well-known publishing agency. At first he was commissioned to write teen fiction, but eventually he climbed the ghostly ladder and began writing horror and non-fiction for much more high profile writers and celebrities.
Abeer met his husband four years ago, and there seemed to be an instant connection. He would always pay for meals and buy nice gifts, and it wasn't long before Abeer realised, his new man had a lot of money... and I mean A LOT! The two lovebirds got married and Abeer was no longer living paycheck to paycheck. He was living a life of luxury, with all the things that money could buy. Things have turned very sour recently though, and Abeer still hasn't managed to work up the courage to get himself out. He was meant to file for divorce months ago, but it's just... you know... not easy to leave behind the life he has. He already crushed his family's spirit by marrying a man, and a divorce would just prove them all right.
Why does your character want to/need to complete these trials: Abeer wants to leave his husband, but he is afraid he will lose everything in the divorce. If he could complete these trials and win the cash prize, he would take the money and run. He's not ready to give up the millionaire life style.
