Name: Alex Summers
Age:1618 as of the 68th
Gender: Male
District: 7
Appearance:
Alex Summers stands at six feet and two inches along with hovering around the weight of 145 pounds. He was always the tallest in the family, even at a young age he stood out from the rest of the kids at his age. Alex could be heavier but being so poor as led him to being severely underfed and he looks like he could collapse of starvation at any moment. Alex suffered an accident handling an axe at the age of 14 when he started to work as a lumberjack. He wasn't watching where he was going after he set his axe down and when he tripped his chest scraped across the sharp blade and now Alex has a horrible scar.
Alex has short black hair and brown eyes. At an early age he did have longer hair, but long hair never truly appealed to Alex so he cut it shorter. His family also has the same traits as him with black hair and brown eyes. Only Alex however with his height makes him seem much more vulnerable to starvation due to needing more food then the rest of his family. Alex has short black hair and brown eyes.

Personality:
Alex has been a nice guy. He hates seeing people suffer and attempts however best he can to help those people who may be in trouble. His hatred for seeing people suffer however has led Alex to severe starvation, more so then the rest of his family who also starves but not on the level that Alex is suffering.
Alex has confidence issues. He doesn't believe what he does is ever truly good enough and he strives to do better at whatever he does no matter how well he may perform. Alex struggles too get over the issues despite his family and friends doing their best by telling him he isn't such a screw up. Alex is not sure if they are just making him feel better or if it is all lies.
Alex is scared of hurting people. Not that he isn't capable of doing it, he just doesn't want to harm anyone if he can help it. He first developed the fear of harming people when he witnessed and remembered his very first hunger games. Seeing all of those children die in many different ways affected Alex. He is terrified of being reaped as he knows in order to win he will have to kill at least one person in order to make it out alive and he hopes to never get reaped for fear of harming someone to win even if it means he dies so someone else will live.

History:
Alex and his family were always poor but in terms of financial standings the family stood around the middle of the pack in the district. Alex has two brothers and one sister. Whatever Alex earns with his job of being a lumberjack goes toward helping those in less fortunate situations then Alex is in. His father works as a carpenter while his mother works as a papermaker. He constantly buys food and whatever else someone who is in trouble may need and with less money and food for Alex is driving him further and further into starvation and his family is worried he could die if he keeps this up.
Alex knows how to handle an axe fairly well. He learned around the age of ten years old. His proficiency with an axe let him to the job of a lumberjack at the age of fourteen. It may be grueling work but Alex feels it best suits what he can do so he works as a lumberjack to help support his family.
Alex may not want to be reaped for the hunger games, but he most certainly wants his siblings to never have to sign up for tesserae. He is the only child of his parents to sign up for tesserae. His siblings want to sign up to help out the standing of the family but Axel wont let them. He knows if they sign up their names would be entered more in the reaping bowl and he works to make sure their additional names are only entered when they grow older. He hates the very idea of the hunger games and hopes that if he is reaped, he wont have to kill anyone until the very end should he make it there.
