Welcome, here is an overview and quick look at all of my district characters that can be made active for role playing whenever needed.

“Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.”

― Nicholas Sparks

The Basics
Full Name: Gaius Lee Swan
Nickname(s): Some people call him Gai (pronounced as 'guy')
Age: 18
Birthday: September 30th
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
District: 4, the District of Fishing

History
When the Elizabeth Swan fell into the water that fateful day no one could have known that the decay of a family was soon to follow after it. Gauis Swan grew up normally enough, his parents were happy even with their occasional fights and him and his older sister Elizabeth were raised happily and learned all the things they needed to know growing up in District 4. But one day, against Pearl's better judgement Black took their oldest child out on a fishing vessel with him and then the unthinkable happened. Elizabeth fell overboard and even though 3 people jumped in to bring her back out she drowned. She was only 15 when it happened and from their it was like a storm came and rocked the foundations of his family life forever. After the accident Pearl and Black fought constantly, each blaming each other for their daughter's death. Pearl argued that it was Black's idea to bring her out there and hence ending her life and Black argued that if Pearl wasn't so protective and sheltering of the girl then maybe she would have had the skills to make it out alive. It was technically neither of the parents fault, but it didn't stop them from blaming each other and the resentment from growing until they could no longer even look at each other anymore. It was after a year that Gauis' parents split up and divorced which then caused him their one child left to be shuffled between homes.
Now 18, Gauis has lived in between both his mother and father's houses and felt like the unwanted gift that you get at Christmas that you cant give away but don't really like. Even as he grew up there were things that his parent's still fought about when it came to how he was raised, and he felt as though he could never please either of them. Now feeling distanced from the two people who he used to look up to he is like an outcast not only in his own district and amongst friends but also by his own family.

Looks
Gaius looks like your average District 4 citizen, he has olive skin which tends to tan nicely and his hair is somewhat shaggy and a chocolate brown that has hints of lighter brown and blonde on the tips thanks to sun exposure. His eyes are a magnificent hazel color that is actually quite unique and are a copper and green color around the inner rim near his pupil and as the color moves to the outer rim they are more of a deep blue color. In certain lights it looks more hazel and in others it looks more blue. Gaius is about 6' even and while he is tall and somewhat lanky he has a muscular build, especially around his shoulders which are broad and defined. Thanks to swimming, which is a hobby most people in District 4 have, he has a very distinct swimmers build which is seen around his shoulders and more muscular calves. He has multiples scars and some fresh bruises from fights he has gotten into in the past. He tries to shave everyday because if he doesn't you can see the start of a beard around his chin.

Personality
Gauis is both charming and polite as well as extremely determined and stubborn. Those 4 traits would be the best things to describe the young man. He is quiet though, and hardly talks much but when he does he speaks with a certain something that is much different then you would expect when you first look at him. Gauis is not afraid of a lot of things as can be seen when he tends to get into fights with everyone, including peacekeepers, and won't back down. And this has given him somewhat of a reputation as a bad boy around the district. The one thing he is afraid of though is rejection and so he tends to push people away that get to close to him. After his parent's separation and being tossed back and forth between the two it seemed that he slowly became lost in the shuffle of his parents' new single life. This left Gaius basically alone and feeling abandoned as it seemed neither of his parents seemed to take an interest in what he did (or when they did it seemed they thought nonstop about it). Ever since he has felt a void in his chest that has never been able to be filled no matter how hard he tried and so now he just keeps his distance and tries not to get to involved with people.
Talents: Gaius is strong and can pack a mean punch. In a fist fight he tends to be the winner and in turn this has given him a reputation as a 'bad boy.' He isn't afraid of a fight and if he spies an injustice he tries to step in and do something about it. When he actually trusts someone he is loyal and will protect them no matter what the cost. Gaius is also a strong swimmer, after his sister's death he made sure to sneak off to the beach and practice when he spent time with his mother so she wouldn't know. His father approves of that hobby. But his parents share two totally different views on that, especially after his sister's death.
Flaw: Gaius is not one to trust anyone easily. He has been hurt too many times in the past and his immediate response when he starts to get close to people is to push them away. It is just easier to do that and avoid getting hurt then investing his time and having his heartbroken again. He can be paranoid about people and wonder about their intentions and tends to be very suspicious about things.

“I've discovered that anger is easier to handle than grief.”

― Emily Giffin

The Basics
Full Name: Samuel "Sam" Yorke
Nickname(s): His family calls him Sammy but it was mainly his older brother Anders that called him that.
Age: 16
Birthday: November 23rd
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
District: 2, the District of Masonry

History
Although the Anders and the Yorke family is from a more known "rich" district, they are far from that. This is mainly because his father spends any small amount of money he has to allow Anders to train as a career in hopes that one day he will go into the Hunger Games and win and bring fortune to his family. Anders has taken up being the caretaker to his younger brother Sam now that his mother is dead and his father is hardly ever around. Their father started working basically from sunrise before the two boys wake up and much later at night after the two boys have gone to bed. Unfortunately he needs to work as much as possible in order to survive. While there are a few times where he has a break from work it is a rare occasion he does make sure to try and spend as much time with his children as possible. While Anders trained for a chance to be in the games, Sam had nothing to do with them and instead focused on things like his academics, a hobby most teens in District 2 rarely did.

Now after Anders' death somethings have changed in Sam. He has gotten more interested in training, finding himself trying to become stronger just in case he is ever put into the games. He wants to try and be better then Anders was and tries to train when he can as its almost become an obsession. He has also gotten more angry, angry at what exactly he doesn't know. Maybe its the Capitol, maybe its the now dead Frank or even a little angry at the victors who have come back. Overall though he has still kept his more caring and intelligent self, he is just a little more scarred then he was before.

Life at Home
Family:

Garreth Yorke

Amelia Yorke

Anders Yorke

Pets: The only pet Sam has ever had was a dog named Bones that has since passed away. It was a dog him and his brother had when they were younger but after Anders went in to the games Bones died of old age. Bones always liked Sam more then Anders for whatever reason.
Economic Status: Poor

Looks
Sam is far taller and more thin especially compared to his brother Anders' height and weight. Sam stands at about 6'4" and weighs a whopping 175lbs which is about 4 inches taller then his older brother and weighing a little bit less then him as well. He isn't as stocky or built as Anders' was but he is still somewhat muscular and his figure can be imposing to some people as he tends to tower over most of the people in District 2. Sam's hair is a darker brown color though the longer it gets the lighter in color it appears. He always wears it long and shaggy and it he has had it grown out long enough to reach his shoulders once or twice in his lifetime. He never wears it short though and it is always shaggy and hangs down just below his eyebrows. His face is square and his chin is pointed with a slight cleft chin but nothing extremely noticeable. Sam's eyes are a dark hazel color, and appear to show more brown in them then green but in the right light they look to be a more green color. Most times though they look to be a solid brown.

Personality
Intelligent, caring and inquisitive, Sam was always considered the smart Yorke. Similar to his father and being more stubborn like him he tends not to settle for anything less then he puts his mind to and tries to make sure the outcomes are what he wants them to be. Just like the rest of his family he is incredibly loyal, especially when it relates to his family members or those he trusts like family. Sam is empathetic and tends to care more about people then his brother does most times and he tends to connect more with people and is more approachable then his brother ever was. Recently though he can be slightly moody and brooding as well as having some trouble containing his anger. His grief has taken the form of anger then being an emotional train wreck like some would be. Sam has a conscience that makes up a lot of what actions he decides to take, and he always tries to do right by people.
Talents: Sam was always the more intelligent and smart Yorke brother. He is more thought driven and was always one with plans instead of running into something without asking questions. Planning and strategizing is a strength of his and he tends to think of the smart things to do, even if it is more time consuming on his end. Academically he always did well and was not one that was interested in fighting or training, but ever since his brother's death something inside him changed and now training and using a knife in order to become stronger is one of his main focuses. He has gotten pretty good using a knife now, finding himself particularly drawn to a hunting knife with a serrated blade.
Flaw: Sam is stubborn, though he would never admit it and when he has his mind set on something he will not budge. No matter what. He has also lately gotten more unable to control his anger at times and can be brooding and mopey when it comes to certain things. He also hates when people look down on him or think of him as lesser because of recent events. That is one of the things that can cause him to lose his cool and usually he just gets angry and quiet and walks away. He holds all of it in though and it can boil over making it worse for him the longer he keeps it inside. Just like his older brother, Sam can be extremely loyal towards his family members, but he is willing to die for one of them or do anything he needs to in order to help or protect them. Sam hasn't been training with the knife for long, so his weapon training isn't as great as his brother's skills once were.

“What she lacks in age, she makes up for in madness.”

― Quentin Tarantino

The Basics
Full Name: Anima Reaver
Nickname(s): None
Age: 16
Birthday: February 6th
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
District: 9, the District of Grains

History
The Reaver household was once normal. It consisted of a man and his wife and they were expecting a child to complete their happy family in District 9. But shortly after the birth of their daughter, whom they named Anima, the woman died and left her husband and daughter behind. It was then that things changed. The man, named Hoshi, transformed into someone almost unrecognizable from his former self behind closed doors. His drinking increased as Anima aged and soon enough she reached the age of 7 she began to look more and more like her mother, a young woman who was beautiful and credited as having no flaws whatsoever in Hoshi's mind. It was at this point the abuse started. Ranging from sexual to physical abuse, Hoshi would claim the reason behind his cruel actions towards his daughter was because of her similar looks to her mother, claiming that her beauty made him do it. The abuse continued for years, only increasing and becoming worse and worse as time went on. No one ever said anything though, teachers would see the bruises and cuts and peacekeepers never seemed to make a visit to the Reaver household. Anima was trapped in a world of nightmares and was never able to leave, her only escape was blocking out everything and finding the place in her mind that let her forget her pain as all she could do was sit back and let things happen.

One night though when Anima was about 12 years old, Hoshi had passed out after a long night of drinking. He was out cold on their couch and began to vomit, choking as he laid there not able to really function anymore. Anima stood there, watching and knowing she could help him but instead she just stood back and let him die in front of her. The peacekeepers who showed up the next morning decided that it was an accident, and whether they knew or not was never really determined but if they did they decided to leave the girl be. That was the night that Anima changed, that she went from the poor innocent girl that she was into the person she is now. Her mind was no longer able to tell what exactly was right and wrong. After the death of her father she tried staying in a few orphanages but never stayed long as her behavior was always considered 'inappropriate' and 'destructive.' She eventually moved to the streets after finally running away and has lived there since, putting her name in for the tesserae and praying on the sympathies of others as her source of food and clothing. This is why she is now a master manipulator and able to so easily string together a line of lies for any situation.

Life at Home
Family:

Hoshi Reaver

Zelda Reaver

Pets: She has no pets at all.
Economic Status: Extremely Poor, she lives on the streets after all.

Looks
When you first look at Anima you are given the impression that she is a weak and frail girl due to her thin figure. She is only about 5'4" tall and weighs only 105lbs, and uses the fact that she looks so small and innocent to her advantage constantly. Her dark, almost jet black hair has hints of dark brown in them and hangs down straight and to the middle of her back. Her hairstyle has one thing that really stands out and that is her bangs that are cut straight across her face and go down to just above her eyes and cover her eyebrows pretty effectively. Her skin is quite a contrast when put up against her long, dark hair; making it look pale and almost like porcelain. Even though her skin isn't that pale, she certainly doesn't have much of a tan or anything and it looks even more pale with her hair in the mix. Her skin is relatively clear and blemish free around her face, though when you reach her arms and torso you can see the marks of old scars that have long since healed from old abuses. Her lips are full and a naturally pink color and her nose is slightly curved and her eyes are eyes are surrounded by almost unnaturally long, dark eyelashes. Anima's eyes are a deep brown color and look almost black. They blend in very well with her pupils and give her that look of having none at all as they are hardly distinguishable. The are very eerie as it looks like they are almost emotionless and almost lifeless, but she can easily put on a few fake tears and can make them seem very full of emotions. Most times though, she just has that dead look in her eyes that suggests she just doesn't care.

Personality
Anima is quite simply put a sociopath, she has no sense of a moral responsibility and can be slightly antisocial at times. It explains why she does a lot of the things she does and a lot of why she is the way she is. She has hardly any emotions and regrets at times and tends not to feel bad about anything she does that most people would have negative feelings about. She can hurt people without it negatively impacting her life in anyway and she can easily put herself into any role without hesitation so long as it suits her needs in that situation. Nature vs nurture is hard to determine in this situation, though her mindset was probably molded mostly from her past and how she grew up. Her father being as abusive as he was in many different ways trained her to block out things and gave her a twisted view on what was considered right and what was considered wrong. Anima is also extremely narcissistic and feels that she is better then most people. She, like most narcissistic sociopaths, tends to react violently to criticism but only reacts that way when it is some sort of criticism about herself. Most other things she doesn't really care about, but her appearance or herself in general is a topic that you best steer clear of if you do not have praise to give. Anima always presents herself in the best light and usually is able to easily charm people to gain their trust, though that is not usually recommended. Besides that, Anima just doesn't tend to care much about thing going on around her, especially if they don't have anything to do with her. She is kind of aloof and withdrawn and somewhat antisocial, which makes her more of a loner unless she needs something from someone. In that case then she makes sure to pull out all the stops to get them to trust her so that she can get what she needs out of the relationship.
Talents: Anima is manipulative and very good at it. She can make almost any situation work to her advantage and is able to string a few lies together to get herself seen in a certain way. She is an actress so to speak and has a silver tongue, playing any role necessary for her survival is something that is second nature to her. She uses her smaller frame and looks to pull off looking like a weakling and innocent, but she is not afraid to look sexy or seductive either. She can analyze her surroundings and the people near her and prey on their weaknesses to get ahead in life. Anima is also very agile and when she still went to school regularly she was one of the fastest girls in her class. She can sprint for longer then most people can and her endurance for running is high. She can easily outrun most people and she has an ability to escape situations she does not want to be apart of. Anima is also extremely apathetic, and feels pretty much no remorse for things that she does. She is a sociopath and has no problem shutting of the emotions in her head. Her view on things is very twisted, but this kind of mind set is good in a setting like the games because killing another human being wouldn't ever break her down mentally like it may do to other people.
Flaw: Because Anima is a narcissistic sociopath she tends not to connect with people well, nor does she feel bad when it comes down to hurting them in anyway. While it helps that she has no problems with betraying someone if need be it secures her being distanced from people. She tends to be a loner and the friends she does get do not stay long because she does not hesitate to torture them in some way or another. Anima is not physically strong at all. When it comes down to a physical confrontation she wouldn't last too long if it comes down to punching and kicking. She would prefer something ranged and keeping her distance from people because of that reason.

“Sometimes it is the quiet observer who sees the most.”

― Kathryn L. Nelson

The Basics
Full Name: Kalvin Mac Hollis
Nickname(s): He goes by Kal most times instead of Kalvin as he prefers to not seem so formal
Age: 16
Birthday: September 7th
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Homosexual
District: 7, the Lumber District

History
Sometimes if you listen very carefully and are sure to make yourself hidden you can hear the sweet sound of music from the trees of District 7. The melodies are usually mimicked by the mockingjays that take up residence in the woods, full songs with different verses have been repeated back to Kalvin in a way that they do only when they enjoy the song that has been sung to them. The mockingjays are the only things that have heard Kalvin "Kal" Hollis sing, not even his good friends Peppermint and Greta have. The three met when they were each 8 years old and have been good friends ever since. Greta and Peppermint are Kal's best friends and even though it took a bit for him to warm up to both of them and come out of his shell they are now inseparable. Even though his two best friends are girls that never seemed to faze Kal much and the trio are never found too far away from each other. Greta and Kalvin first started out with an awkward friendship because they are so different from each other, but after some time there was no awkwardness between the two. The trio is like the three musketeers and are usually all found together.

Life at Home
Family:

Klaus Hollis

Natalia Hollis

Mikhail "Mickey" Hollis

Pets: A yellow canary named Flitter. Kal found Flitter one day while he was wandering around the district. Her wing was broken and the boy picked her up and brought her home and nursed her back to health, making sure to sing to the small bird every night. When the bird's wing had healed, Kalvin went to release the bird but it did not leave, maybe it was because of the kindness the boy showed or his voice but it did not leave. Kal decided to keep the bird after a few failed release attempts.
Economic Status: Lower middle class

Looks
Kalvin is both extremely thin and quite tall, making him look quite lanky. He stands at about 5'9" and weighs only 118 or so pounds, he is underweight or at least looks very much so even though he eats a regular amount of food. He has almost no muscle definition on him at all and if he does have any muscles on him at all you wouldn't be able to tell when looking a him. His skin is the color of pale ivory and is almost unhealthy looking. Even though he does go outside quite often he never seems to tan. Kal's hair is a deep, dark brown color and is almost black and is slightly shaggy. It never goes much longer then a few inches though and it is usually parted to one side or his free flowing bangs are swept to the side and kept out of his eyes. His eyes are a dark brown, almost black color that look kind of like two pieces of coal that reside underneath his thick, dark eyebrows. Kal's face is more squared and his jaw line is defined and box like. When it comes down to it, Kal has the look of a boy who doesn't play sports or is involved with any sort of physical activity at all, and he has an almost mysterious quality to him.

Personality
Kalvin is not a man of many words, being more of a quiet observer than anything else. He is very shy when he gets around new people and has a little bit of social anxiety around large groups of people. But when he gets to know someone he really starts to open up and his personality blossoms. He is much more talkative and funny when he is surrounded by a very close friend. Kalvin is someone who would rather have one or two really close friends than a large group of acquaintances. His observant nature has taught him many useful things in life making him very intelligent in things that people say and do. Kal is almost an expert in the human psyche and like to 'people watch' so to speak. Most times people seem to forget that he is around which is fine with him. This gives him more time to sit in his own mind and entertain himself which is something he does quite frequently.
Talents: Kalvin is quiet and observant, making him a great hider as well as a knowledgeable one. He tends to learn what he can from what he sees and can usually guess what they are going to do next or how they will react. If Kal played chess he would be a very good player, so to speak. Kal is also quite small and aerodynamic which makes him much more maneuverable and agile than some of the bigger kids in his district. Though physically he isn't that big of a threat, his mind is and he is very smart. Kal also has a very beautiful singing voice, though he would never sing in public because of his shyness. The only people who may have heard him sing are his two good friends Peppermint and Greta.
Flaw: Kalvin's small frame puts him at a great disadvantage when it comes to hand to hand combat. He isn't physically very strong and could easily be overpowered by someone much larger than he is. Kal also has social anxiety when it comes to meeting new people and being in large groups, so making allies would be very difficult for him. If he were to have an ally in the arena it would only be one other tribute, maybe two but nothing more than that. He also tends to think too much and he will usually over think a situation instead of acting and because of that he has lost out on some good opportunities.
