The two characters I've submitted for the 2013 FBA Draft :)

Teresa Price, a raccoon from Panama City, Florida, grew up with loving parents, but had a set of overbearing older brothers whom grew jealous of her when she started besting them at basketball. After years of being told that she couldn't do anything by them, Price made it a goal to prove anyone who told her she couldn't do something wrong. Whenever she completed a task her college teammates dared her to complete, they'd say "Price is Right", the second she finished, earning her the nickname of the popular game show. The truth is, she had never seen it on TV until they tagged her with the moniker. Despite the arguments with her brothers causing a rift between them (they haven't spoken since Teresa left for college), Price's philosophy has motivated her drive and she hopes it will carry her into the FBA.

Raul Zuleta, like many others in the coastal town of San Pedro de Macoris, of the Dominican Republic, grew up poor. Sports were a welcome diversion and he liked basketball. The problem is, everyone of his brothers, sisters and friends liked baseball or soccer more, so he had to play alone for most of his life. Those that did play with him he bested easily, and he developed a craving for better and better opponents. His wish was granted in 2009 and he has been playing for the Dominican Republic national team for several years, garnering the nickname "La Zeta Roja" for his zigzagging drives and "Z" motion he makes after a big shot. Since the FBA has the best players in the world, Raul knows that he'll have no shortage of goals to set for himself to keep him going.
