So what if I'm crazier than crazy?
So what if I'm sicker than sick?
So what if I'm out of control?
Maybe that's what I like about it

You can say that I'm going insane
And I'm not quite right
And that I'm to blame

APPEARANCE

The hair on my head is blacker than midnight, which is a feature I quite like about myself. My eyes are a bit dull and of a very dark color. I have thick eyelashes and eyebrows, as well as some rather sharp features to my face. My jawline is very distinctive, and my chin is a bit square-shaped. The skin tone I have is neither very dark nor very light, and seems to compliment my other features nicely.

There is definitely muscle to my arms and legs, giving me a sturdy build. I have a variety of tattoos on my body, but the most visible are the ones that run down my arms. The tattoos on my arms resemble tiger stripes, in a way. Some people think it's odd that as a guy, I wear makeup, but I think it looks nice. The makeup I wear is very minimal, as it's just some black eyeliner, but I consider it a big part of my everyday appearance. My clothing choice is often considered rather interesting by some people, too. I wear a lot of dark-colored clothing, as well as boots almost year-round. I'm rarely seen in shorts, as I don't like to reveal my legs due to the large scars that are on them from a childhood injury.

As someone who does a lot of training as a career, I have built up a lot of strength and endurance. I do, however, often have dark circles around my eyes due to being awake so early in the morning and not sleeping until late at night. I'm often exhausted, but I try my best to hide it, because it may make me seem weak. I'm someone who likes to keep my face clean-shaven. I like to have as neat of a physical appearance as possible, when it comes to my face, and I luckily don't get too many blemishes. I do, however, have stretch marks on my stomach and legs due to rapid weight lost a few years back.

You can say that I'm sick on the inside
Bet you don't know I like it that way

PERSONALITY

I'm quite clever, if I may say so myself. I know how to get out of difficult situations, and prevent myself from getting into trouble, for the most part. It's a very helpful aspect of my personality, as I wouldn't normally be described as well behaved. I don't just get angry and fight, I enjoy fighting. The feeling of my fist making contact with someone else's flesh feels good. Seeing others wince in pain almost gives me relief. It makes me feel like I'm stronger than I may actually be.

I also have been told that I'm a rather sick-minded person. This could likely be because of my enjoyment in other people's pain, but it could also be because I like the sight of blood. When I see blood, I get an adrenaline rush. It makes me feel all that more powerful, especially when I was the one that caused the blood to surface. I used to be someone who kept to myself, since many people avoid me. Now, however, I do have a few friends. The friends I have usually don't think that I'm messed up for what I enjoy, and sometimes even have the same sort of feelings as I do about things.

At this point in my life, I'm still not sure what I'm in to, relationship-wise. I don't know what genders I like, and if I'd ever even be interested in going further than a friendship with anyone. Besides, I have more enemies than friends, so it's hard to even get friends to begin with. I used to be bullied, but I've started fighting back. Some people tell me that I have become the bully at this point, and I don't deny it. I'm not someone with the kindest soul.

I'm a thief. I've stolen things from people for my enjoyment for a long time throughout my life, whether it be money or just things that I want for myself in a shop and don't want to pay for. Only once or twice have I ever been caught, and it only resulted in a scolding from the person I was stealing from. I find myself lucky to have never had it reported to a Peacekeeper.

As someone who is angered very easily, I am likely to snap at someone if they do something incorrectly. I also tend to be extremely straightforward, which often comes off as rude. Though, I won't deny that I'm often rude on purpose, just to see what reactions I get from other people. People tell me I'd have more friends if I were nicer, but in all honesty, I don't know if I really want more friends than I have already. If they're not a friend now, I don't know if they could ever be a true friend.

I'm also quite a bit of a jokester. I like to mess around, whether it be by making jokes about the situation or just about the people around me. Sometimes, these jokes get me scolded, but that doesn't mean it's something that I want to stop. In general, being scolded or punished doesn't really faze me, and I tend to repeat my actions. Some people may think that it's dumb to repeat something that you got in trouble for, but I find enjoyment in it.

You can say whatever you like
If it's so wrong I don't wanna be right!

HISTORY

I grew up in an interesting household, to say the least. My brother, Damien, is a bit older than me, and my sister, Angel, is a bit younger than me. I don't really know whether or not I can say I get along with them, as we probably argue more than the average siblings, but we still do things for each other out of kindness. Might I add, I don't normally do things for people out of kindness. I've always been kind of weird about gifts. It seems like a weird concept to me, and I never know what to say when I receive one.

My parents are rarely around, leaving us three kids to mostly take care of ourselves. They're both really hard workers, and they expect us to be as well. I've always been the kid that does the most work around the house, for some reason. My parents have always seemed to pile the most work on me, which I'll admit, often gets quite frustrating. Regardless, I do what they tell me to, most of the time, as my parents' punishments are worse than those that I could get at school or anywhere else.

I never had many friends, even as a child. I've always been the odd one out who kept to myself or went off to cause trouble, which was likely why most other kids my age avoided me. Drawing is one of my main hobbies, and I almost always have a sketchbook with me. If I see something that interests me, it's not unusual for me to make a quick sketch of it. Art is probably the most normal and common of all of the hobbies that I have.

When I was twelve years old, shortly before my first reaping, I ran away from home for a while. I didn't want the chance of being picked for the Games, just in case someone didn't volunteer, because I didn't feel ready. Now, however, at eighteen years old, having done a lot more training, I feel that I would likely be prepared to go in and fight. The time that I ran away, I stayed in an abandoned shack in the outskirts of the District for about a day, until I got to the point where I wanted to go back home, realizing that hiding wasn't worth it. I returned home to worried parents, thankful that I'd returned. I hope that if I ever leave my family for an extended period of time again, it's because I'm bringing them honor in the Games.

So what if I'm crazier than crazy?
So what if I'm sicker than sick?
So what if I'm out of control?
Maybe that's what I like about it
