Joshua Colquhoun - District 2

[sonofshadows]

Name: Joshua Colquhoun
Age: 16
Gender: Male
District/Area: District 2
Appearance:

Joshua is 6ft and 56kg – tall and slim. He lacks muscle. He has straight black hair down to the nape of his neck, apart from a sole tuft which refuses to stay down and is just behind and above his right ear. His eyes are a piercing blue, but are fairly small compared to others'. There is some peach fuzz on his face, and, like all teenagers, he suffers from slight acne. He usually wears black jeans, white trainers, a brown belt with a metal buckle, a black T-shirt, and an open button light blue denim shirt over that. He also has a grey sweatshirt and brown scarf for if he gets cold. His sweatshirt is without pattern, but his scarf has a tartan pattern of various shades of brown.

Personality:

Joshua is a very warm-hearted person. He has been described by friends as "strange, but with his heart in the right place". That pretty much sums him up. He is highly emotional, but very intelligent. He has a very caring nature, and hates to see people in pain or distress. However, when he believes a friend is in trouble, he will charge to their rescue, regardless of anything. This is because he has some “olde-worlde” values - he believes chivalry and general good manners to be important to society. Naturally, this makes him more popular with adults and the elderly than people his own age, but it also makes him a better listener. He speaks with a slow, medium-pitch voice. He aims to be a doctor, like his father.

History:

Joshua, born and raised in District Two, has had things pretty easy. His father, one of District Two's best, and most highly paid doctors, wants his son to follow in his footsteps, and has not trained him for the Hunger Games, unlike others in the district. This is fine by Joshua, as he expresses no desire to compete, and always dreads the reaping. Career Tributes tend to criticise the boy for this, but, he doesn't mind. Joshua knows quite a bit about medicine from being taught by his father, and does generally quite well in school. He can even treat minor ailments and illnesses. He is an only child. His mother died giving birth to him. Any time Joshua asks about her, his father simply tears up. He eagerly awaits his nineteenth birthday, as he'll no longer be eligible for the games, and will be able to take an exam in medicine.

Comments/Other:

Anything I need to change, lemme know. I do volunteer this character for the games next year... I think it'd be such delicious irony.

Accepted, and you can volunteer for the Games next year, but you're not guaranteed that you'll get a spot as a tribute.
