Personality:
Amadeus is pretty good-looking. He's about 5'11", the same height as most of the men in his family. He's extremely muscular for a boy of his age, which goes to his head too often. He has amazing super carved abs and not-too-bulky but well-toned biceps, with long muscular legs that help him run super fast. His hands are big but they are surprisingly agile and he uses them to carve things out of wood with his penknife. His dark brown hair is usually messy and comes down to the tops of his ears. He has very wide cheekbones, making his eyes squinty-looking, and a pronounced jaw, making his head seem sort of large. If he doesn't shave often, stubble appears on his chin.
He has brown eyes outlined by thick dark eyebrows which are shaped so that he constantly looks like he's frowning. This also makes it so that when he smiles, it looks like something's just not right. When he does smile, it's usually more of a smirk. It's not often you'll see him with a big toothy grin on his face. No matter how much his mom yells at him about posture, he keeps his hands in his pockets and his shoulders hunched forward unless he's at some fancy event or a formal gathering, which is like never. His lips are light-colored, a bit darker than his tan skin.
Amadeus was born with a big nasty-looking wart on his left heel, which is why he's hardly ever seen wearing sandals in the summer. He's very self-conscious about it. He also has a weird narrow brown birthmark that's shaped like... well... a piece of string. Just a line, running behind his left ear, that he deliberately hides with his hair. Amadeus cares a lot about his appearance, and always keeps his teeth white and his hair messed up exactly right. Sometimes he'll spend hours in front of a mirror every morning just making faces at himself and checking his reflection and making sure he looks perfect.
Amadeus, who usually prefers to be called by his middle name, Drew, is usually very loud. He likes to talk loudly and to be the center of attention, often cracking jokes at his own and others' expense. He doesn't usually mean to hurt anyone's feelings, but he sometimes does when he makes jokes about people.History:
He isn't the smartest kid, and is obviously made of more brawn than brains. But he's not an idiot, either, and he at least has some street smarts. He never liked school or anything related to it. He hates reading and math, and tries to stay away from both of those kinds of things as much as possible.
Drew is very arrogant, and he thinks he's really great. He tends to be disrespectful to his elders with exception of women, especially his mother. He considers himself to be great at everything and he thinks he can beat anyone in his district in a fight (even though this isn't true).
Amadeus has no shortage of friends. He prefers to walk in a group because he has a secret fear of being alone. There's no way he would ever tell anyone that, though, that would make him seem uncool.
He loves to be around girls. He's a total flirt and a hopeless romantic, and hangs around members of the opposite sex as much as possible. He enjoys having girls as his best friends and as his girlfriend, and it makes him feel confident to be surrounded by women. He believes that he is good-looking and that he has undeniable boyish charm and that any girl would be lucky to go out with him. In his defense, though, he's definitely not a jerk to girls. He's very respectful towards them, actually, which is probably the reason they are attracted to him. He's not his usual arrogant self around them that he is around his guy friends.
Amadeus is very vain. He believes that he is super hot and that all the girls are in love with him. He thinks that his muscular body and boyish charm are irresistible to everyone of the opposite sex. To Amadeus, he is the most talented and the hottest 16-year-old in all of District 7, even though he couldn't spell his way out of a wet paper bag. He likes to stare at himself in the mirror in the mornings for a long time.
A lot of people can't stand to be around Amadeus because of his arrogance and his cockiness. Even though he's not extremely mean or extremely good-looking, he's pretty vain and thinks he's pretty awesome. His self-confidence can get out of hand, and it can cause fights and arguments with his friends and other people around him.
Drew doesn't have much talent except for the fact that he's really strong and physically fit, but one thing he loves is wood. He spends his spare time with a knife and a block of wood, carving it into shapes. He's actually pretty good at it. He generally carves animals and plants, but he'll occasionally carve other things as well. He also loves climbing trees, and loves climbing to the top and just sitting there. Sometimes he builds tree forts if he finds a strong and suitable tree for one.
Amadeus Drew Cumberland was born on August 8th, an only child to Louella and Nicholas Cumberland. They lived with their small son in a small house in a small neighborhood off of a small income, because Amadeus's mother couldn't find a job. Although money was tight, they managed to get by with what they had. No one went hungry, but no one had second helpings, either.Codeword: Odair
When Amadeus was about 2 years old, his mother got a job in the lumber industry, as did most of the people in the district. His parents were making more money, and they were able to buy more things for him. He was fed more, and grew up to be strong and healthy.
When he started school, he struggled with his schoolwork but he had fun there nonetheless. He was the class clown, always cracking jokes and making people laugh. He quickly attracted friends, and he was never alone at lunch or at recess. He hated math and reading, though, and never really saw the point in learning them. He focused more of his time on sports, which he loved. He became very muscular and fit, and he's especially good at soccer.
When he was about thirteen, he and his friends became interested in girls. He was popular with females, too, even though he wasn't the most fantastically good-looking kid in the school. He did have a certain charisma about him, though. He and his buddies would always hang around girls and flirt with them, though not really looking for any kind of serious relationship. He's never had a serious girlfriend, but he has had a few best friends who were girls.
Around the same time, his father gave him his first penknife. That's when he got into whittling and carving things. At first, he wasn't very good at it and he cut himself a few times by accident. He couldn't make very good shapes and his carvings turned out looking more like blobs than the animals and plants he'd try to carve. But then, as he kept practicing, he got better at it. Now, he rarely ever get cut by his knife, and if he does it doesn't hurt very much because of the callouses he's developed on his hands.
Louella Cumberland, his mother, is a tired woman with frizzy brown hair and steely blue eyes. Her hair is highlighted with gray streaks and wrinkles are becoming more defined on her forehead. She talks very quietly, but when she talks people tend to listen very closely to her words. Louella is a fairly good cook, and tries to be very inventive with the small amount of ingredients she has available to put in her dishes. She's not the prettiest or the smartest woman in the world, but Amadeus loves her to death.
Nicholas Cumberland is tall and muscular, and you could definitely tell from a glance that he's related to his son. He has the same brown eyes and the same wide jaw, with the same brown hair. He speaks in a rough voice and smokes a pipe. Nicholas is a smart man and is disappointed in Drew's reluctance to do his school work. He has a short beard and his eyebrows, like Amadeus's, make him look like he's always frowning. In reality, though, he's a really sweet and kind man and he loves his son more than anything.
