Name: Aster Payten
Age: 15
Gender: Male
District: 12
Appearance:
Aster is tall, approximately 5'11, and slim (about 1550 Lb), but still well muscled and strong from years of odd labor (although he doesnt look it, and he's slightly malnourished. His spine and ribs can sometimes be seen when he's shirtless) His hair is an undecided color between brown and black, but in the light you can see a touch of grey (from stress, and working odd jobs to keep his family fed without entering their names). Aster's face is on the feminine side, with a thin nose that has a low arch, high cheekbones, and lips that are not thin or thick. His eyes are blue-grey, with bags underneath that both bring them out, and make him look slightly hallow. He's not handsom, so much as pretty. (he gets ridiculed by the boys at school for being girly and pretty, but he doesnt mind.)
Aster prefers to wear comfortable clothes, and being poor is usually seen in worn out hand me downs from his father (such as coveralls and dark jeans). He only has one pair of shoes, which are thick mining boots, and though hes had them for years they barely have any damage. His sister is known to stick flowers in his hair, and he lets her because she means the world to him. (this also causes ridicule from the boys at school).
He's quick and nimble, but a little clumsy because hes not quite used to being so tall (he hit a growth spurt at 14. This sometimes causes pain in his joints and tiredness but he tries to work through)
Although he has many scars, the most obvious one is across his right arm. Its a dark brand mark gotten by a peacekeaper who caught him trying to steal medicine for his sister. Its shaped like a T for theif. (but it was the first and last time he ever got caught stealing anything.)
Personality:
He's quiet and reserved, and usually looked over, although hes a quick thinker and a good talker. He has a way with words thats gotten him out of trouble, and also gotten him things he didnt deserve (he talked a teacher out of sending a peacekeaper after two boys who were fighting. He also talked a girl into giving him a box of chocolate once, although later she would deny it and say something vague about how she must have just eaten it and forgotten)
Sometimes he boarders on kleptomania, and has strong urged to steal things he knows he doesnt need or need to steal. He rarely gives in, but did once steal a watch from a teacher. (he later threw it over the fence in a panic)
He loves his sister and father, although his father works so often he seems to hardly exist.
At school his friend are mostly girls, although he does have a male friend (who is ridiculed for being asters friend). He doesnt girls gossiping and giggling, and usually learns interesting things about the boys at school. He taunts his bullies with some of this information, but hes actually good at keeping a secret. His closest friend is a girl named Samantha, who despises being nicknamed Sam.
He's not in the top or bottom of his classes (samanthas at the top), but he's good at math. He stays out of drama but likes hearing about it afterward.
He's rarely angry or sad. Thats what he tells himself, but he lets it built up. When he lets it go finally, it usually ends up in a destructive behavior (although whether its destructive to him or someone/ something else is often not clear).
History:
Born to Mother Lilin Bradly (deceased: former teacher) and Father Gust Payten (a mine worker). His mother was killed during the labor of her third child (His name would have been Clover). Aster was 8 at the time. His living sister is named Willow Payten, and is 6 years younger than Aster. His lives in almost the poorest part of district 12.
Aster only has 4 tickets in the drawing alltogether, because his mothers final wish had been that her children never participate in the Humger Games, and forbid them from entering their names. But there had been some points (mostly during the winter) that food had been so scarce that he was afraid that his sister might starve. He refuses to ever allow her to enter her name, when she gets old enough.
He often works odd jobs to earn a meager income, enough to feed and clothe his sister when his father doesn't have enough. He's resorted to stealing more often than putting his name in, and is exeptionally good at it. Besides menial labor (lifting and such) its his only real talent. He avoids pickpocketing mostly, but easily steals from counters and shelves easily (even if hes being watched)

Name: Dahlia Road
Age: 16 (turns 17 in the middle of the games)
District: 7
Appearance: Dalhia is 5"8, weighing in at 150,but is pure muscle from chopping lumber. She's well fed but has a high motabalism and works hard. She has brown eyes and black hair, a vaguely pretty face with plump lips, a strong jaw, and a round-ish nose. She has a deep olive tan on her face and forearms, but is slightly more pale elsewhere. Thin white scars can been seen just about everywhere, from years of forest work and carpendry. A more serious scar is on her thigh, just below her hip from her father throwing a wittling knife at her leg. Though its healed, the scar reminds her of her fathers anger, and her own.
She wears flannel shirts, dark jeans, and thick boots when she works, but often wears panamas during her off time. She's extremely strong, with healthy lungs, but isnt the best runner. The injury to her thigh and short legs contribute to make running difficult, but she can hold her own in a fight or a forest, and is well accostummed to giving and receiving knife wounds.
Personality: She's cocky and loud, and can hold her own with any group of men, but prefers to work alone. She has no problem with the sight of blood, or injuring another person, but would have some problem killing them. She knows nature well, like which trees have injestable sap, which plants are poisonous, and what animals are dangerous and how to kill them.
Like her father, she is a very angry person. She takes out her rage in her work, but has suffered the consequences of doing so on a person. She's good at wood working, and can build traps or baskets. She's spent the better part of her life preparing for the games, because she has a very large family, and will volunteer if one of them is chosen. (Her father decided this when she was very young, and drilled it into her head as her siblings were born after her.)
She likes a good days hard work, but also enjoys luxuries in life. She has a soft bed, and enjoys warm showers. On the good days, she likes to sing as she widdles or carves. She has a great deal of friends and can be seen laughing with them often. She doesn't openly admit to any relationships or crushes but the is one Girl, Cherry, that people suspect that she's a little bit too close to.
She goes to school only because she's required to. She has no interest in books or learning and is pretty average in grades. The only reason she's ever seen with a book in her hand is because she is trying to impress someone (cherry).
history: mother and father (Richard and Clementine Road) are upper middle class, both highly skilled craftsmen. Her mother is kind natured and sweet. Her father is an angry man, who used Dahlia as stress releif until the knife incident, for which he was arrested. He wouldn't have gotten a harsh sentence, but his anger got the better of him and he attacked the peacekeapers, near fatally wounding one. He became an avox, and his family mourned, except for Dahlia.
Dahlia has 4 younger brother and 3 younger sisters. Their ages are 2,4,5,7,10,12,14. Theyve never had to enter their names for food. Dahlia feels there is almost no chance of any of them being reaped because distrt seven is huge, and they never needed tesserae so they only had their names in their the required amount. she would eagerly volunteer for any of them.She does relativly well liked in school and is well liked, but her cockyness has often gotten her into trouble. She dared talk back to a visitor, and received a lashing as a result. This only made her anger worse. She lashes out on people, and feels guilty afterward. She feels like she's becoming her father. After she lashes out she becomes distant and moody and recedes into the woods to work. She sometimes works beyond her shifts, but no one complains.
Name: Hope Greyson
Age: 19
District/Area: Originated in 2 but is a wanderer.
Appearance: Hope is 5"7' and weighs about 140 pounds. Strong but lean. She has dark hairs and eyes, full lips, and gorgeous eyes. She used to have baby fat cheeks, but she lost them some when she became a wanderer.
A scar on her right hand from knife fighting, affecting her hand slightly but she's left handed. One on her left ankle from dodging a throwing knife, but doesn't impare her. She is deaf in her left ear, from an infection she got after being attack by a wildcat.
Personaloty: Introverted and dark. She used to be loud and cocky and mean, but her in the stress of running away, and being so alone she changed.. She likes being alone, but sometimes craves the touch of another living thing. She's friendly with a wild dog. He'll sometimes keep her warm at night and let her hugs him, and she feeds him her scraps from hunting.
She prefers to hunt with a knife, quickly catching smaller animals and cutting their throat. She does have a bow she stole from district two. She makes arrows herself. She only hunts for deer meat when the weather begins to get cold, so she can save it and not waste any. She picks fruit sometimes and misses the taste of bread.
She is prone to paranoia and anxiety. She always thinks the government is watching her. They probably are. She thinks they are gonna hunt her and make her join the games. They probably aren't. Hope is also an angry person. She doesn't like taking her anger out in living things, but she would probably attack, not kill, anyone else in the woods. Instead she swims in creeks and streams, and tries to get as far away from society as she can. Her life has been really full of pressure and it messed her up. She struggles between hating people and needing them. Quite frankly she could use some company but would be to afraid of betrayal to ever have any.
History: Her brother died in the games when before she was born. Her parent were older when she was born, and slightly unstable from the loss of their son. Her parents forced Her to watch his death often. They wanted her to avenge him, to be him, to be a Victor. She left the district at 15, refusing to ever participate in the games. She rewatches his death scene often in her mind. A spear, right in his throat, thrown by his own female counterpart. She later died by the hand of the Victor.
She was a carreer tribute in her home district, sickened of the games when her brother died. She isn't bothered by blood and has been trained to survive the wilderness and how to fight. She eats less now, so she lost some weight, but she does work out to stay strong.
She trained with the other career tributes her entire life, but always hated the games. She planned to leave for years, making sure she was prepared. She stole and packed and trained. She made sure she was ready to live in the woods. She would never.
In the woods, she has lived pretty well. She built small shelters throughout the forests and can evade anyone in the woods rather easily. She was attacked once by a hunting dog, and had to kill it to escape capture.

His tongue was cut out when he became an Avox. He has many scars, the newest from being punished often. Whip lashes on his back that are barely healed. Scars from splinters on his arms and hands. On his left eyebrow is a small scar from the fight after he was arrested.
Personality: Richard is almost always angry. He is like a fire, destructive and uncaring, and he can be caged in but never tamed. He is abusive and mean. When he had his tongue, his words were always harsh and criticizing. He cursed often. Eventually even words weren't enough to satiate his anger. He loved to widdle and carve all his life. It was his respite. His mind set is get much a victim. He believes the world owes him.
He was a pretty good talker when He wanted to be. He had friends, and was well liked. His friends always said they couldn't believe He was a bad person. Kind of a typical abuser persona.
He often abuses other Avoxes because he knows they can't tell anyone and that don't matter. He is spiteful to the people He serves. He ruins food, makes them sick, causes accidents by messing up small but imprtant parts of things like doors and chairs. He believes the world owes him.
He saw a lot of himself in his daughter and hated it. He hates her. He hates the government. He believes they are at fault for him becoming and Avox. Rihard strongly distrusts anyone and everyone in the government. Working as an Avox makes him angrier by the day.
History: Richard's father, August, died in an accident while chopping lumber a few months before Richard's birth. His mother died after labor, of infection. Richard was adopted by his grandfather on his mothers side. His name was Aspen Burch. Aspen was highly paranoid and abusive to Richard. He taught Richard to distrust the government. He believed that Richard's father's death had not been an accident. He believed he was being watched by the government and he was probably right.
When he was 16, his grandfather died of a heart attack. Richard was sent to an orphanage. The orphanage was overcrowded and reflective. The other kids often goaded Richard into fights. He began to get stronger, and fight anyone who looked at him funny. Teachers ignored the fights, as did everyone else. Orphans didn't matter to them.
At 19 he met Clementine. They married at 21 and had their first child about 5 years lalater, during one of the games. Her name was Dahlia. As she got older, and more kids were born, he began to use Salvia to relieve stress. He yelled at her, hit her, etc. One day, he went to far. She stood in the hard as he yelled at her for interrupting his whittling. He became so enraged that he three the knife at her, and it hit her leg. A nearby peacekeeper took notice and interveined, but Richard attacked him as well. He was arrested and turned into an Avox.
His first job as an avox was with a large rich ffamily. He didn't like taking orders at all. The family never filed a formal complaint, but had him transferred. His second job on a train, he began purposely messing up food to make passengers sick. Nobody could prove it but he was moved again. He then got a janitor job, and was given no access to aanything other than toilets. He's basically just one strike away from permanate imprisonment or death.

He has scars in his stomach, three perfectly round, circles, exactly the same amour apart. He got poked with a trident once. He has a few other random scars from fishing wire and accidents.
He's very healthy, lungs and heart, and pretty fast for having short legs. He is heavy footed though, not quiet.

He's sometimes overly nice. He will our his life on the line for a friend and is very trusting. He would give everything he had away, if he found someone who needed it more. He hates the games, because they inspire backstabbing and hatred.

He's lower middle class, but pretty much always has enough to eat. Even if seafood does get tiring. Sometimes they lack coal or wood for the fire, but with everyone in the family working, they survive.
He basically only has 2 outfits. His reaping outfit and his overalls.
He got his trident scar in an accident, when a friend of his went overboard, and got caught in some nets, both he and his trident tangled up.

Name: Ruby Silk
Age: 17
Gender: Female
District: 1
Appearance: Ruby is tall, 5'10, and weighs 145 pounds. She has firm D cup breasts, a small waist, and long slender legs. She has a roundish nose, naturally pink lips. She has long black hair, and eyes so Brown they're black. She also has freckles. Everywhere. They contrast against her pale skin, but make her, if possible, prettier. She's gorgeous.
Along her spine and around her waist she has a large tattoo of a dragon. (the wingless kind). She has a tattoo of a hawk on her neck, only about two inches wide.
Her scars usually don't last long, but she has a couple that have lasted for a long time. As allowed to most people, her scars are darker than her skin, by like a while shade. They look like her freckles, in regards to color. She doesn't really know why. She's got a few self inflicted scars, those have lasted the longest. She doesn't ever let anyone see them.
Personality: She's not mean, but she's manipulative. She uses charm and sex appeal to her advantage. She dresses in a way that shows off her body well. She doesn't like to do dirty work, or any work. She convinces others to do it for her.
She's even resorted to sleeping with men for what she wanted, although she never feels sexual or romantic attractions herself. She's not particularly loyal, and makes friends easily, just to use them. Growing up a carreer, she's not shy of blood. Her long legs carry her extremely fast, and she's flexible and athletic.
She has really poor hearing and no sense of smell, but hawk like eyes and a strong sense of touch. She can feel vibrations from walking and such. She's afraid of confined spaces and her favorite places are up as high as possible.
She often prefers her own company, just because communication is hard outside of her family, who learned sign language.
Despite her lack of hearing, though, she loves music. She listens to music with a strong bass that she can feel. She likes to pretend that nothing is wrong with her when she listens to it. She distrust everyone, but men especially. She feels as of men use women for sex, and doesn't make friends with them. She also avoids being out at night, or around men in general. She knows men lust over her, and she likes infighting fights between them.
History: She's been training since she could walk. Despite a sickness as a child that took most of her hearing, she rarely misses a beat. She knows sign language to communicate with her family. She was born without a sense of smell. Her family was afraid these disabilities would impare her. But she trained harder than anyone else she knew and surpassed them. But her lack of hearing makes her self consious.
She was born to parents Diamond and Crave Silk. They were some of the most wealthy in district 1. She never went without anything, but also trained herself to conserve in case she was ever reaped. She often sits on the roof of her house to find peace.
When she was 14, people started realizing how gorgeous she was. She had always been pretty, but puberty had pushed her into another realm of beauty. She had never gotten her period, and doctors found that she was incapable of bearing children. But her breasts had grown, and by the time she was almost 15, she had C cups. The year she turned 15, was also the year she drew her first blood.
She was walking home, when a man approached her. He'd called her pretty and gotten to close for her comfort. He'd grabbed her wrists so hard she'd cried out, and tried to force her to the ground. He'd forced himself into her, but in the end, He'd would up with a broken neck. She had vowed never to let anyone take advantage of her ever again, and to use her beauty as a weapon instead of an accessory.
She was suicidal for a while afterward. Once in a while she still is, sometimes goes in to hours of depression. She's got some self inflicted scars, some from trying to focus the pain to the outside of her body, other from trying to make herself not feel pain anymore.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Name: Meyer Fallows
Age: 16
Gender: Male
District: 10
Appearance: Meyer is tall, 6'0 exactly, and built strong. He's not thin or thick, but really muscled. Sometimes his friends call him "Leopard" because he's extremely fast and quiet when he runs. He's extremely dark, both from working in the sun and just his heritage. His face is thin, with a strong jaw and almond eyes. His eyebrows are bushy. His nose is crooked from the time a goat head butted him, which also resulted in a thin white scare going straight down his bottom lip. His hair is long-ish and black. He can wear it in a ponytail, when he works. He doesnt have much more than peachfuzz, except its a little darker on his upper lip. His family doesnt really grow a lot of facial hair, so he probably never will. His eyes are dark brown.
Personality: He's rather bull headed, which make sense because he's in charge of the bulls on his farm. He's stubborn and clever, but not especially book smart. He doesnt read very well and he is really bad at math, but he's good with people and he's definitly not stupid. He knows how to slaughter animals with a small variety of farm equipment, but he doesnt like to. He really likes the animals, but once in a while he's had to put an overly aggresive or sick animal down. Mostly he just has to load them onto the slaughterhouse trucks and drive them there. The few animals his family keeps to eat themselves, he learned to skin and cook them, and use every part so nothing was wasted. His mother also passed down how to use different plants and spices, from her ancestors. She tells him stories about before panem, how ancestors came from another place, a long way away. It doesnt exist anymore, but Meyer likes to daydream of visiting it, wonder what it was like. He wishes they taught about places like this in history, but all they teach is about the war and panem.
He mostly keeps to himself, but he has his share of friends and admirers at school. His girlfriends name is Lilla, they met in school, and were friends for a long time before they started dating. He really likes her, and plans on marrying her when theyre old enough.
History: Meyer was born to Jaya and Barric Fallows, the eldest of 3. He has two sisters, Reighley and Krista. They have a relaitivly nice farm, not big or little. His first job on the farm was feeding the chickens, when he was 2. He bonded with the newborn chicks and sobbed when he found out they had to be killed. He moved on to milking cows and helping birth baby cows and goats. They had four goats, two male and two female, from which they sold milk and cheese. One of the mother goats didnt make it through labor, and he began taking care of the baby. He bottle fed it and kept it clean and named it Sir. Sir is kinda old now but has had a few babies, all of which are taken special care of by Meyer, but his favorite will always be Sir.
His father taught him how to take care of the cows and bulls too. They only ever had one or two bulls at a time, because they fought each other for the cows. They took care of milk cows and meat cows, and he learned to brush them (or else they would scratch themselves against things that might be dangerous and give them infections). At 14 his father put him in charge of the bulls (because he was getting too old). They didnt require too much work but they had to be watched and kept orderly. He once had to remove a bull from a broken bit of fence, which he had slammed his head through trying to charge someone outside the fence. Meyer got a bloody cut on his arm from that.
When he was younger some of the other kids bullied him for being darker than them, and being kinda tiny. But he hit a growth spurt and they guys are pretty much scare of him and the girls think he's hot.
He's had a pretty good life, altogether. He loves his family, even though his sisters are annoying sometimes. He's been pretty well fed, except a couple of winters when food was scarse from 11 and they didnt have meat.
