Name: Allen Hearst
Age: 31
Gender:
District/Area: District 3
Appearance:

Allen is eye catching, though not because of remarkable height, strength, or even physical attractiveness. Allen is an albino, which leaves his skin, hair, and eyes totally devoid of pigment. This is the first thing people notice about him, and together with his white Peacekeeper uniform, it gives the impression of a statue of white marble, albeit a rather short one. His hair is close-cropped, though it wasn't in his youth, and snow white. His eyes are a blue-violet, though more violet than blue. His skin is, as with all albinos, completely pigment-less, and this leads to some nasty sunburns and other health problems.

Because Allen isn't overly tall. He's not tall at all really, or heavy. He's officially topped off at 5'6", and he's only touchy about that when people call him "Beansprout" or "Shortstack". Not that people often do. In addition, he's not nearly as strong-looking as most male (or even female) Peacekeepers; his strengths lie in espionage, tracking, spying and the like. However, his weakness is an illusion, as his muscles are those of a gymnast; hard and flat, not bulky. His hands are rather large compared to the rest of him, almost disproportionately so, but they're lean, and his fingers are quite slender. This probably comes from being a pianist.

He's rather handsome, though not really eye-catchingly so. As said previously, his albinism is more interesting than his facial features. He ends up looking far too good-natured for a Peacekeeper, actually. His jaw and chin are strong, and his nose is rather large, due to several breaks in his teen years. His eyes are large, and his lips are thin, but the over-all look is an attractive one. When he smiles, and this certainly isn't infrequent, he becomes even more handsome, though his grin is often wry. Much of his attractiveness really comes from his personality. He usually tries to look stern, as befitting of his job description, though this is difficult for him.

His clothes, other than his Peacekeeper uniform, are beaten and theadbare. Close inspection reveals that most of his jeans are held together by staples and the grace of God, while his jacket is thin, and it's right sleeve is held to the rest of the jacket by duct tape. He has two pairs of boots; one is black and shiny, his Peacekeeper boots. The other pair is tough, leather, iron-toed work boots. They're heavily scarred by years of wear and tear, but they're still good, and they've been worn into total comfort.

He often wears various accessories; simple accessories, but more than a Peacekeeper would generally wear. He wears a rough amethyst pendent on a silk cord around his neck, and a silver ring with a fairly large emerald on the ring finger of his right hand. The necklace was a gift from his friend Luxa, the ring was his mothers, before she gave it to him when he left for Peacekeeper training.

His body is riddled with scars from years of Career and Peacekeeper training, and he has a few tattoos. One scar is on his face; it starts just below his right eyebrow and descends across his eye, down his cheek and down to his jawline. While this scar as faded over time, getting close reveals it. Another prominent scar is a thin surgical scar that encircles his left elbow, where a fellow Career chopped off his arm. While he at first had trouble with his arm, now the scar is the only remnant.

He has three tattoos. One is a Maori war tribe tattoo that encircles his upper right arm. This was his second tattoo, which he got just before he began Peacekeeper training. Another is a pagan symbol of protection on his chest, which he got directly after his Peacekeeper training ended, and he was transfered to District Three.

His first tattoo is the one he finds most important. On his upper left arm is the name, birth date, death date, and epitaph of his brother, Timothy Hearst, who died in the Bloodbath of the 56th Hunger Game. He got it shortly after his brother's death, and the black ink contrasts sharply with his skin. It reads thus:

TIMOTHY HEARST
BORN JUNE 6TH
DIED AT THE AGE OF SIXTEEN ON THE DAY SEPTEMBER NINETEENTH

MURDERED BY TRAITORS AND COWARDS WHOSE NAMES ARE NOT WORTHY TO APPEAR HERE

REMEMBER, TRIBUTES, AS YOU PASS BY
AS YOU ARE NOW, SO ONCE WAS I
AS I AM NOW, YOU WILL SURELY BE
PREPARE THYSELF TO FOLLOW ME

Personality:

There are several words that describe Allen, depending on who you ask. Those who enjoy his company would describe him as funny, good-natured, and kind. Those who are less than fond of him would describe him as immature, lazy, overly sarcastic, and occasionally cruel. All of these are true, interestingly enough. Allen is, to most, gentle, kind, and funny. He's never at a loss for words, and most of those words are witty, and more often than not self-depreciating.

To those he dislikes, and who dislike him, he's not kind or sweet. Self-mockery becomes hard, often cruel words at others that he never truly regrets. Sarcasm is his main form of argument, creating little holes in people's arguments that ultimately lead to deflation of pride. He's incredibly stubborn, and even if he knows he's wrong, he'll make a fierce front for whatever he was backing. He holds grudges, and if someone does him or someone he loves a wrong, he never forgets it. He'll hold it over that person's head until the day they die, or the day they sincerely apologize. He has little patience for people who think the world should bend backwards to them for whatever reason, and those who think they're entitled to do whatever they please.

He often tries too hard to be optimistic, leading him to bite off more than he can chew because he's sure he can deal. He usually pulls through, but sometimes he doesn't, and when this occurs, he beats himself up over it for days. Despite his "enemies" insinuations that he's lazy, he's actually quite disciplined. They just don't see it, either because they catch him unawares, or because he goes out of his way to be undisciplined just to spite them.

Most of the time, he tries to be all stern looking and disciplined, but it's become something of a game for the local kids to see what it takes to get him to crack. Which doesn't make his job easier, but it does make it funnier. He's too nice for a Peacekeeper, and he usually turns a blind eye to any crime that was committed as a desperate attempt to feed the person's family. He's one of those Peacekeepers that makes friends with everyone, because making friends with people is good for the general feeling of the District. That, and a relationship with the people is akin to keeping a finger on the pulse of the district.

But mostly the first one. Really. He's not manipulative.

He is sneaky though. And his past has made him a bit of a cynic; if someone tells him that such-and-such did an awful thing to so-and-so, he won't be surprised. He's convinced of humanity's general awfulness, though he does his best to remain POSITIVE. Which tends to be a bit difficult when part of your job is tailing people when they're at their absolute worst and taking pictures of them.
