Barthandelus Thorn(D2)

A model, that's the first thing that comes to mind
when people see him. He stands at a perfect 6 feet and weighs approximately 180lbs. His build is thin, but his thin build hides a very fit and strong person. He has a well groomed chinstrap beard that he grew out at the request of a friend. His hair is of a normal cut with a curl that comes down across his foreheadand swept over to the
right side of his face.

His eyes are a chocolate brown, and perhaps the most interesting thing about him. They never fail to meet the eyes of another person, and to
someone they appear to know stuff about you. You could just meet Barthandelus but his eyes show recognition and knowledge. He is usually
seen wearing rather modest clothing never wanting to draw attention to himself. This includes but is not limited to torn jeans and a black t-shirt.

As far as his appearance goes the only flaws he has are self inflicted. His wrists stay constantly bandaged because of the cuts he inflicts upon himself. He has a long tear down his left leg that also remains hidden. The wounds he inflicts on himself are meant for pain not a lasting affect.

Barthandelus is kind to absolutely anyone. He does not think himself greater than anyone even the lower district citizens. He has a very humble opinion of himself and wishes he could somehow help the people of the poor districts. He is not lazy instead putting himself to work running errands for the people of D2. He also keeps himself fit for the games, so one day he could take the place of someone, feeling it would be the ultimate sacrifice.

Around his family, to avoid their rath, he puts on an air of superiority. He says and does things he feels so horrible about that he punishes himself. Even around visitors from the Capitol or upper districts he acts completely different. He knows he's not the same as the others, but he's afraid for them to know.

His greatest flaw is that he cares to much. He hates to see people suffer, instead wishing the affliction was on him. His few friends don't know of the real him, but there beginning to realize after he made a comment about those in the lower districts. He is also a liar, having to lie to hide the real him he has grown quite used to lying.

Barthandelus started his life just as many others do in D2. A wealthy family never in want, living in luxury. He lived this way very content until he was seven years old. He heard his mother and father talking about the Avox, and how many new Avox were serving now. He was blown away that another person could treat others like that. That another human being could have so little compassion for another.

It was at that point that he made a concious effort to try and help those with less than him. He knew he could do nothing to improve the state of the lower districts at that time, but he did find something he could do. He only ate what was necessary for survival, never exceeding what he needed.Than when a young child was selected for the games he saw that although it was an "honor" to be selected
that their friends still wept. It was than that he
decided he would never allow another young child
to enter the games while he was still elligible.He grew up not changing much over the years.
The only real change was that he began to dispise himself for living in luxury while others suffered. His resolve was never shaken over the course of the years, but he begins to wonder how long he
can keep his secret. His friends have already
begun to suspect something, and soon his family will also. Until they find out though he does his best to live the double life he lives.
