The Woodards' {District Eight} OPEN

[rook]

THE WOODARDS FAMILY


round like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending nor beginning
on an ever spinning reel

Children of Granaero Woodards and Alicia Surman

Pandora Woodards (Pandora's Box)
Male, 18 upon death
Deceased.

Before the Games, Pandora was a sleazy, trouble-making slob who spent his days eating, drinking and sleeping with girls. His Reaping was a shock to him, and he felt a new responsibility to get home and help his twin brother Rubik support the struggling Woodards family. Pandora teamed up with Cyrus Malloc and Noreen Lexington, outsiders who stood little chance against the Careers of the arena. The boy from Eight fell in a forbidden love with Destiny Lenstil. He was not used to it, having never been in love before, and it distracted him from his Games performance. When Pandora came face to face with Elon, Walker, Mahlah and Jae on day four, he bravely fought to defend Noreen but in doing so accidentally slashed her in the throat with his sword. After running away from the crime scene, he returned the next day seeking to redeem himself. He single-handedly fought Elon, Walker, Mahlah and Jae - Killing Walker whilst avoiding all other attacks. When he tried to flee he was killed by a latch crab explosion that he took the brunt of to save his allies.

Rubik Woodards (Rubik's Cube)
Male, 24 upon death
Deceased.

Rubik is Pandora's twin brother. Ever since Pan's death in the 61st Ha,es, Rubik has never been the same. Unable to support his little sister Hope and their dying Father, Rubik turned to Hitchcock - his bastard brother - for help. Together they were able to survive, working extra shifts and sharing a house. Their father hung himself shortly after Pandora's funeral, which was hard for them, but made things easier in some ways. Then Hope was Reaped for the 65th Games. Rubik couldn't take the loss of two siblings, and mentally shut down. During the 65th Victory Tour, he kidnapped the Victor Saffron Lowe and fled to the woods, where he held her hostage. Not wanting to risk the life of their newest Victor, the Peacekeepers called upon the Victor of the 61st Games, Klaus Goravich, to negotiate. In a heated turn of events, Klaus shot Rubik at point blank range, killing him.

Hope Woodards (Tower of Hanoi)
Female, 13 upon death
Deceased.

Hope volunteered in place of Andorra Konstantine because her life was not worth living. With her brother Pandora dead and her only remaining relative, Rubik, going into emotional shut-down, Hope felt volunteering was the only morally right thing she could do any more. However, she soon regretted the decision and had several violent and angry outbursts in the Capitol. She adopted Pandora's potty mouth, swearing viciously at any given opportunity. She was killed on Day Two. After accidentally spilling tar over herself, Hope was too slow to react to Emery Moreno, who quickly set her on fire. After smothering out the flames by rolling in the dirt, Hope found herself at the clutches of Iago Izar-McClaine, who cut her eyes out with the point of his glaive. She bled to death, blind and alone.
Played by Rook

Hitchcock Woodards (Fox, Chicken, Grain problem)
Male, 18

Hitchcock is the result of one of Granaero's one night stands. Half-brother to Rubik, Pandora and Hope, he spent most of his days looking after Rubik. He used to be arrogant and couldn't be left on his own, as he would always look to cause trouble, yet since the passing of all three of his siblings, and both his parents, he has moved in with Jordesh and Destiny Woodards, living with his cousins. These days he is more introverted and withdrawn, but despite all he has lost he is still quite a positive person.

I WOULD LIKE A WOODY WOODARDS PLEASE

I would like: GEM

Why do I want this character?: b/c female and i have the ideas and u r max and i love you

How I would make this character like their associated puzzle: hi so ok, she'd be cold and calculated, thinking out every possible senario before reacting. She must be sure that everything will slide into place before she acts, and rarely ever turns back once her decision is made. As she is too prideful and sure that whatever path she took was the right. This can get her into extremely sticky situations where nothing turned out as she planned, causing great distress, lashing out and most likely a tantrum. 

having played this game it is legit my reaction every goddamned time 

Potential FC: -rook's face- no jk idk i need to talk to mah fc ppl

Anything extra: IM DOING STUFF LORI, THANGS

[Victory]

I WOULD LIKE A WOODY WOODARDS PLEASE

I would like: Jenga

Why do I want this character?: because she seems awesome and I love me some Woodards <3

How I would make this character like their associated puzzle: At first glance Jenga appears to be sturdy, well built, and almost indestructible, but that's not the case. As you get to know her you realize how delicate her structure actually is, how ready it is to fall apart at any given moment. Pull out the wrong pieces and you'll see just how easily Jenga and her temper will come crashing down around you. But, if you slowly and carefully pull out her pieces just the right way, she'll stay up with only a slight wobble. If you even make the slightest flinch in the wrong direction though, she'll fall and probably never be able to build herself back up to trust you again.

Uhh so basically an unstable girl with a bad temper who has a problem trusting people.

Potential FC: here and here possibly maybe? idk hit me up if ya want me to change her

Anything extra: ummm you're awesome?

Hey why not take another shot at it?

I WOULD LIKE A WOODY WOODARDS PLEASE

I would like: Indiana
Why do I want this character?: Yeah well I'm indecisive and can't pick just one, woops

How I would make this character like their associated puzzle: Indiana likes to look at the entire picture before making any type of decision, big or small. She calculates everything before a making choice. Even if she thinks she has found the right solution she often goes back and switches it, unsure if it was the perfect fit for the rest of her life plan and afraid that it would mess up the rows and columns she already has adjusted so perfectly. Perfectionist would be an understatement since she is so fearful that one wrong move could destroy everything around her. Whenever Indiana meets someone new she gives them a number in her head. Then she takes the time analyze each one. She carefully tries each one out individually to see if they meet her criteria, once she realizes that they don't, she replaces them for others and the process begins again. She is often easily frustrated by her inability to find the perfect match.

Potential FC: how bout this girl

Anything extra: Well I hope you see that I edited this xD

I WOULD LIKE A morning WOODY WOODARDS PLEASE

I would like: Bono

Why do I want this character?: lateral thinking tho

How I would make this character like their associated puzzle:

more interested in the questions than the answers, thinking and rethinking outcomes for problems and variables with even more yes and no questions trying to pinpoint the exact moment or thing that caused it to occur, often over thinking and getting confused to a point of where he has no idea what the hell's going on, always nitpicking over little details instead of the bigger questions and making big deals over small things and becoming aggravated when he can't figure a thing, usually left in a state of being pissed off from not being able to understand everything fully, never answers anything fully always replying with more questions instead

Potential FC: this guy intrests me

Anything extra: notice me senpai

[Tom]

I WOULD LIKE A WOODY WOODARDS PLEASE

I would like: Jigsaw Woodards

Why do I want this character?: Why wouldn't I. Plus I love the Woodards. And plus it's a Rook plot. I also like the idea of them having puzzle names. I want Jigsaw, because do you want to play a game ok on a serious note, I like the idea of a character where you have to piece him together, maybe like he's completely random or just hard to understand. Or maybe he pieces people together and tries to figure people out.

How I would make this character like their associated puzzle: So right off the bat, I feel he needs to be hard to read like emotionally or just hard to read what he's thinking. He'd have to want to figure things out about people and piece them together to figure out what type of person they are. He has to put the pieces together to figure things out. He's a bit of a problem solver and can solve almost any problem there is. If he gets stuck on something, he'll get frustrated and have to rethink everything he is doing. If there's something missing, he has to find out what it is. A bit of a curiosity freak.

Potential FC: Let me take a look at my fc waiting list.

Anything extra: Yesssss. (May come up with more later yo)

[Kire]

I WOULD LIKE A WOODY WOODARDS PLEASE

I would like: Jigsaw Woodards
Why do I want this character?: I just want to piece him together.
How I would make this character like their associated puzzle: No one knows Jigsaw, not even Jigsaw. He is broken into multiple pieces and no one can keep track of all of them. As a young child he had received head trauma from something no one has been able to figure out and it's left his speech broken. He often speaks with his words out of order or in fragmented sentences. It's like his thoughts come out of his mouth before they're fully formed, and it's clear he isn't the fastest thinker.
Potential FC: face goes here but not my face
Anything extra: This could give me a chance to try a whole new writing style but hey no pressure.

No? Okay then try 2.

I would like: Cypher Woodards
Why do I want this character?: Cracking codes, breaking homes.
How I would make this character like their associated puzzle: Cypher keeps everything secret, he would hide his name if everyone didn't already know it. In school he doesn't write things in plain English like the other kids, instead using a code that he has been developing and perfecting for the past two years. If anyone cracks a part of it then he modifies it and continues on. He doesn't trust anyone but himself to know the code - after all they could read the diary journal note log that he keeps and everything would be revealed - so he memorizes it and destroys the papers he used to work on it.
Potential FC: face goes here but not my face
Anything extra: Again, a way for me to try a new writing style.

I don't know which one of these guys I'd like more, so whatever.

I WOULD LIKE A WOODY WOODARDS PLEASE

I would like: Domino (but everyone calls her 'Dom')
Why do I want this character?: bananaphone
How I would make this character like their associated puzzle: She's basically struggling to find her place in the world, so to speak. She has never, ever fitted in anywhere - not at school, not at home, not with guys or girls or friends. Even her family looks, acts, speaks different to her. When her cousins died she didn't cry - she just stared, and stared, and wished with all her heart that tears would fall. Maybe they would prove that she was human after all - that would be better than nothing. She's excellent at putting people into categories and solving their own problems but when it comes to her own she shoves them aside, too focused on others to care about herself. Everything can be placed back together again and she always finds a way to make everything alright again. It's suffocating; and she feels like she can't breathe or move within the walls of everyone around her and she just wants to fall apart and pick up her own pieces and try to fix the mess that is her.
Potential FC: i have felicity on reserve gotta do something with her idk? x x x
Anything extra: ur my #1

I WOULD LIKE A WOODY WOODARDS PLEASE

I would like: Jenga Woodards

Why do I want this character?: Because I have fun ideas for this bastard child.

How I would make this character like their associated puzzle: The tower will fall no matter what, and so will she. Every insult and every jab and every bad thing that happens to this misfortune-ridden girl is another piece of her sanity structure plucked away, and as it withers it wobbles and as it wobbles it threatens to crash, and whomever completes the deed will be the one to watch her scream. But she refuses to play the victim, refuses to be the one everybody pities. She is not just the puzzle, but the player as well. She searches for the flaws of others and exploits them in return, plucking their towers while her own grows weaker. It is only justice that she take what is taken from her, yes? And she will watch their towers fall as well, because she refuses to fall alone.

Potential FC: Frida Gustavsson

Anything extra: accept me and I help u kill the bahturs

[k!ah]

I WOULD LIKE A WOODY WOODARDS PLEASE

I would like: Jigsaw

Why do I want this character?: because of reasons and plus rook!plot <3

How I would make this character like their associated puzzle: There are so many different pieces to a puzzle, sometimes you have dem puzzles which have like 200 pieces and then other ties you have dem puzzle which are like 15 pieces, ya feel? Well Jigsaw, as his name suggests, is a puzzle of sorts. Not him, duh, but it personality. There is no one Jigsaw, there are many Jigsaw's. You see Jigsaw has Dissociative identify disorder, aka multiple personalities. Each part of him, piece of him, if different from the next. He has 5 different personalities all together. But unlike a normal puzzle, where you can piece the pieces together, Jigsaw had a hard time trying to piece himself together. He cannot remember what he did, or what it was like in each of his personalities, in a way he feels like he has had a lapse in time, and that scares him. The time between Jigsaw'd 'switching' in personalities varies to a great degree: sometimes it may take seconds, other times it can take minutes and other times they can take days.

Potential FC: herererere

Anything extra: I did a thangggg

I WOULD LIKE A WOODY WOODARDS PLEASE

I would like: Bono Woodards

Why do I want this character?: Because bono and lateral thinking and i researched all this shit and looked it all up because bono this name makes me want to giggle, and i don't do the giggling thing.

How I would make this character like their associated puzzle: I can imagine him similar to Sherlock Holmes when it comes to his level of intelligence. This kid is smart, not only is he smart, but he knows it, and so when it comes to solving problems and asking questions it becomes an easy task to confuse himself. He sees and answer -- the right one, and then another pops up, so be begins to doubt himself, and the answers get all fuzzy. He gets confused, and he doesn't like getting confused, so then instead of thinking by answering questions and formulating a solution that way he begins to think more logically. But logical results ruin the fun out of it all. He's kind of like a butterfly with the way in which he jumps from one idea/solution to the next. He flits around, settling on a flower for awhile before he finds himself moving alone, testing out each no idea, weighing its strength and the weaknesses, before moving on until there is one that is stronger then the rest. Always asking questions and dissatisfied with the lack of response he always seems to receive he writes them down. Knowing that as soon as he is satisfied with an answer he has found he will move onto the next. This world has so many questions and he wonders if he will ever have the time to answer them all. Buries himself in trying to find the answers, because life is hard when your name looks like boner and then your last name is wood, so he tries to forget that other people exist, even though he could use them to help him out, he is an independent man that don't need no woman.

Potential FC: i have some ideas, but i have no reservations so skype me, yo

Anything extra: idk i tried okay, ily

I WOULD LIKE A WOODY WOODARDS PLEASE

I would like: Mahjong Woodards
Why do I want this character?: I'm generally better at writing for older females. And also because I spent lots of nights when I lived at home watching my mom and her friends playing Mahjong. They'd play until like, 4 am most nights. I don't really know how to play it but I know the basics and whatnot. 
How I would make this character like their associated puzzle: Okay, so I'd essentially take the different categories of tiles and use that to interchange her personality depending on the season. My favorite looking tiles were the flowers (plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo) and the seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter) So I'd base her personality on that. If that makes any sense...
Potential FC: here & here (jenna stone)

I WOULD LIKE A WOODY WOODARDS PLEASE

I would like: Jenga
Why do I want this character?: There's a lot to be done with a character like that.
How I would make this character like their associated puzzle: She's always losing pieces of herself, be it in the arms of someone else, or left buried somewhere in a field. She's obsessed with not becoming obsessed. She has built her foundations high in the hopes of being strong that way, not realizing that the more that she gives away of herself, the more unstable she becomes. Stability can be loosely repaired anyway using many different tools, such as lies and promises that have fallen through. She doesn't believe in your terms of what leads to a stable life, she's never had one. It's a foreign word to her.

She would be quite like the game in the way that for all facts and purposes, she looks one hundred percent indestructible. She lives a charmed life for one with such a burdensome past. Many people have tried to kick her down by taking out her support beams, but it seems that no matter how amazing it is that she's still standing, she will continue to do so. For Jenga, what doesn't kill her only makes her more terrifying to behold. She is flighty, intangible, full of questions that only she seems to know the answers to. Most of all, she is a terrifying pillar of strength.

I really want to play with the fact that she is a bastard daughter, because that would be very interesting. Of course it will affect her greatly because although she claims to be built tall and strong, her base layer is lacking, she is a child born of secrecy and lies. She is a cheat.
Potential FC: I have an idea ehhhhhh unless you let me make him a boy because i have a better idea then uwu
Anything extra: i'm suck at apps
