Age: 15
Gender: Male
District/Area: District 1
Appearance:
Jack stands a fair bit shorter then most at 5'6" and only weighs in at 132lbs. Do not think he is skinny though, he might be lean in build but what is there is pure toned muscle that is built for speed. His lack of muscle is quite deceiving as he can lift his own weight relatively easy and up to a good 50lbs heavier before he finds it quite difficult.
His pale skin is matched by his crystalline green eyes which stand out and seem to glare straight through you with cold stares. He often wears a scowl on his face, and rarely a smile. His naturally brown hair is tipped at the ends as is his style.
Personality:
Rude and Impolite
Jack expects everything to be handed to him, he believes that it is just expected for people to give him what he wants without even a hint of gratitude. So simply enough, he doesn't show any, he treats people with utter disregard and expects no consequence of it because of his families stature within his District. He treats his lessors, peers and betters with the same disdainful tone and disrespectful wording of his sentences.
Rage and Grudges
If you manage to push Jack to the point where he becomes enraged his blood boils to the point where he will do anything in his power to kill you, maim you, or if physical pain isn't possible he will do his best to ensure no one even looks your direction again. In this rage he loses himself and does not think any actions or thoughts through and will act upon the first thought that comes to his mind, which is more or less striking the person with some form of heavy, blunt or sharp implement which may be nearby, or his fists if all else fails. He can hold a grudge forever and actually refuses to forgive anyone who has wronged him before, the only forgiveness the person can find is in their death as far as Jack is concerned.
Social Skills or Lack there of
Jack was sheltered form his peers during his younger years and even when he attended school he was mostly privately tutored, and on the off chance he attended a proper class, he was completely ignorant towards the other students in his class. This has resulted in a lack of social skills that could lead to him misunderstanding a large array of social situations that many other people his age would not have an issue understanding. These situations would often involve sarcasm on the other persons behalf as well as facial expressions and reading the situation incorrectly, when Jack communicates with another peer there is either an awkward silence that falls between the two or he ends up ordering them to do something in a harsh, battle like manner which would often repulse anyone who might have wanted to consider him a friend.
A Sore Loser
Jack is a sore loser, that in itself says a lot, but here are no lengths that Jack would not take to ensure victory in anything as small as a running race or a team sporting game. He will lie and cheat if necessary if it meant that in the end he was the won carrying the trophy and the glory. He strives his hardest to make sure that he is the best in everything he does just so he can rub that fact in everyones noses. He is a bad winner and a sore loser and refuses to lose at everything.
The intellectual?
Despite what you may think when you first meet Jack, there actually is something in between those ears of his and while it might not be socially capable, it is quite adept at learning battle and survival skills. He is a fine historian and mathematician despite his distaste for both subjects, he would much rather be working the hard hours with a sword in hand instead of a pencil and paper, but this intelligence has allowed him to make a few good decisions when he managed to keep a cool head. He just doesn't give himself the chance to use that brain of his very often if at all.
History:
One might say that being born into District 1 was a blessing in itself, but then, when you are born into one of the wealthier families within District 1 you kind of had to wonder what you did right, or what you might do right with the gift of an easy life. Jack Corsair was born of Luscious Corsair and Marie Corsair. His mother was a simple woman who lived only as a house wife, his father on the other hand, made a mint form merchanting goods and now no longer needed to do the work himself, but could hire other people to do his trade for him and he could still turn a profit.
Jack lived his early years in the solitude of his large house, he never saw any one his own age. The occasional tutor would come in and teach him the basics of math, history and science, But he had no taste for intellectual per suits despite the fact that many had stated that he was quite the intellectual. He instead preferred to play games of his own making and lose himself in his own imagination fighting battles against dragons and other mythical creatures.
When he was at the age of eight he started attending school once a week, this proved not to push his intellectual pursuits but rather, his desire to win and to be better then everyone else. He needed to win to thrive and from this need grew the desire to become a Tribute and then the Champion of the Hunger Games, to become the ultimate victor of the ultimate game currently known to the Twelve Districts and the Capitol itself. For in the Hunger Games, you win or you die. (Okay i think i deserve to be shot for that one XD)
With that in mind he abandoned most, if not all intellectual pursuits and picked up the sword and learnt so that he could become a tribute. This decision was made when he was ten. He has spent the last five years learning how to swing a blade of different shapes and styles, to wield a pole-arm with deadly efficiency and to survive in all potential forms of wilderness. His preferred weapon is of course a short sword as pole-arms tend to be much too big and awkward for him to wield and a large two handed sword too heavy for him to swing effectively. He payed little attention to his survival classes but enough information has gelled within him that he knows the most basic survival techniques. He has one more year before he will choose to volunteer in the next Hunger Games and become a tribute himself.

Okay try as I might, Whenever i read the personality i see Joffery Beratheon (who if you were unsure is one of the characters this actor has played) I have tried really hard not to copy the personality directly from Game of Thrones >.< i did intentionally make a reference in my history but that was for a laugh.
Anyway long story short, my apologies for having a similar personality, i hope i can still have him despite this.
Oh yeah, after reading some other rules which took some finding i found out that you have to buy career status, i didn't know this when i made this chary but that doesn't matter. I'll RP him as a Career just without the benefits that he would get if i had bought career status. A fake Career if you will. Hope thats okay.
