-Appearance-

Elliot is a tall, underweight 14 year old male. He stands at 5'6 ft (170 cm) and weighs 48 kilo's and has an estimated BMI of 17>. His skin tone is rather pale and to go with that he's extremely lean and has practically no muscles to speak of. With all that said he's weak for a child born in district 7, which leads to problems when helping with the family business. (i wouldn't call it a business but 6/7 of his family members work at the orchid)


Elliot also has dusty blonde hair which is easy to mistake him for a natural brunette. Apart from several highlights Elliot outgrew his blond roots. Elliot also accumulated central heterochromia during birth, of which he'd inherited from his father; he has 2 blue eyes with thin circles of yellow wrapped firmly around the pupil.

Elliot's preference when it comes to clothing is a clingy long sleeved top, that both keeps out the cold morning breeze of which you'd commonly encounter in the forest-mountain terrain and its thin layer also keeps you cool in preparation for the hard labor you're required to do in district 7; it was practically manufactured for Elliot (and everyone else in his district Cx). he also wears what ever pants/shorts(/trousers if you are British)  that become available to him (normally with plaid patterns) as well as working boots.



-Personality-


Elliot is not the one to act/speak out of place. he's incredibly shy which leads him to being unresponsive for the most part, unless your close to him (as in family member/close friend) or in a dire situation. He's openminded and considerate, he's aware of everything and everyone around him.

He has a soft spot for everything cute and innocent and in this respect he's sympathetic and protective. When in a threatening atmosphere  he become impulsive, however he is naturally gifted when it comes to decision making. He's a peacekeeper and would rather negotiate than engage in an argument.

But above all he's intelligent, skilled and optimistic which are the factors that would help him to survive if he was ever put in the situation where he was forced to. His intellect could easily get him out of a tricky situation. His positive outlook on life has kept him going even through all the darker times and his skill and determination has contributed to his family's wellbeing in the corrupt economy that is Panem.

(and before you say his character is unbalanced i did state previously that he's also weak af)



-History-


Elliot Lexi Calburn was born into a family of 7, which consisted of his mother, father and 4 brothers. In district 7 there was barely enough food to go around and with a family of that size it was even harder get by, so for a span of 1 and a half years (before Elliot could remember) they resorted to eating meat which at the time was an unreliable source. So after that they became strictly vegetarian. As Elliot's mother was the only parent with experience in herbology and none of Elliot's brothers had the interest of learning it Elliot was the only one left, at the tender age of 7 he dedicated as much time as he could into the study of herbology.

When Elliot turned 6 he begun to attend school, as you could imagine they enforced that the well-being of Panem was valued above everything else. Elliot resented Panem thoughroughly, he knew everyone did but led by example he said nothing. It was around this time his brothers had started to work with his father, they had begun to tease him with a playful intent. Those events led him to take more of an interest to manual labor.

Continuing his studies in school he went to the orchids 4 days a week along with his brothers and father who worked 5, whilst there he'd train his knowledge on herbs. One fateful day he'd stayed home along with his mother as the rest of his family worked a day more than he did. His father and 3 of his brothers had returned to bare dreadful news that Elliot's oldest brother, Alex had died in a lumber accident. Elliot then legally (with parental consent) had his middle name, Lexi permanently removed as his deceased older brother was given that nickname within a year prior the birth or Elliot (i know his parents are so unimaginative if they practically used the same name twice amongst their children).


For the past year or 2 of Elliot's life he'd witnessed 2 reapings. Even though they didn't eat much Elliot's mother made everyone swear that  no matter what they'd make sure their names were entered as little as possible, disregarding the promise he'd made to his mother he traded a days worth of food for his name in the most difficult situations (which has already occurred 2/3 times; depending on if they add another name when you age up until your 18 of course. currently Elliot's name has been entered 4 times)
