Pike Colorado D7

Pike Colorado
It's the moment of truth (21)
The moment to lie (Closeted Bisexual)
The moment to live (District 7)
The moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight!

We were the phantoms of our selves.
Pike keeps his grooming low key and casual. But that doesn't mean he doesn't try to make it look good. His hair is very short and military crop styled. He puts it up just to add a little something to it. And his beard is at a nice 5 o'clock shadow yet it not totally crazy. His eyebrows though are just there. Pike doesn't do anything to them and lets them grow in. His skin though is very smooth and clean. Maybe being in the woods all those years have done something special to his skim complexion. All of this forms a great background for his facial features. For starters his cheek bones are amazingly high, adding strength to it. His eyes add a hint of mystery to it, for they're a darker blue color. One that usually isn't around in 7. His nose contributes sharpness to the boiling pot, for it's sharp tip and side make it look a bit intimidating. And finally his lips, soft and eloquently small. Which goes well his is softer jaw line and rounded chin.

Having lived in 7 all of his life he's gotten the chance to stay in shape. Carrying axes for 10 + years has created very strong arms that can lift almost anything. They’re very good looking as well, big and sturdy. Somehow his shoulders turned out to be great slabs of muscle. I'm not too sure how you work out the muscles in your shoulders but he figured it out. And these fade very nicely into his arms. His forearms are pretty scary though, as you eyes follow the criss-cross of his veins and arteries running down his solidified forearms. Whatever he's doing to keep in shape is working because his chest is very rounded and muscular and his abs are amazing!


Maybe the children of a lesser god
Pike is a fighter and will fight for anything he feels like. The tree's rights and liberation, his friends, and sometimes we'll just fight someone just for fun. He's not too sure where the urge to punch things came from but he enjoys it. Either way, he has bought way too many punching bags for his age. But all of the fighting as given him great strength, both physical and mental. Something that he feels everyone needs to live and survive in Panem. Pike doesn't necessarily trust the totalitarian government that is The Capitol. In fact his hatred for them is unlike anything else. It's even more than is hatred and envy for his father combined, which is a lot. Though we'll get into that later. His main issue with the Capitol is that the take everything and give nothing back. The trees that surround 7 or the coal that lives deep within 12, Pike believes that it all belongs to the people and to the Earth. He's a major tree huger, Pike is. He's also very insecure about his masculinity.

Even though Pike has some anger management issues, he will be your greatest friends you'll ever have. He's one of the most loyal people in the world and will die for his friends. He doesn't judge based on anything that they can't control. Like their past or their skin color, or anything else like that. Be an a-hole to him however and he'll punch you in the face and knock some teeth out. But once you become friends with this giant, you'll be friends forever. He'll never abandon his friends and will do anything for them. One time Pike hid his friend in the basement while the friend was running away. That was an interesting story. But it only shows how loyal and trustworthy of a guy he is.

He also loves to draw. It's his passion when he's not protesting against the Capitol or hanging with his friends. His favorite thing to draw is the forest and everything that happens within it. Pike finds it interesting to watch everything that happens, the secret love affairs, the animals, the workers. He draws it all. He always carries a sketch pad and a case of color pencils with him just to draw anything that catches his eye. It's also his journal, instead of writing he draws. Which is great because if anyone tries to look at it, they won't understand. It's all pictures and symbols that come to his head. His own personal secret thoughts that can free from his head.

Between Heaven and Hell

Pike loves District 7 since he was a child, and he was a very rambunctious on at that. He was always running around and trying to have a good time. He was a little shy though, as he hid behind trees when kids he didn't know was around. Once he warmed up to you he was extremely hyper and energetic. He was always a great friend and still remains friends with most of his childhood friends. Everyone was afraid to give Pike an ax when his class started to learn how to handle them because of his energy. Once they realized that he won't hut anyone they finally gave him his own ax. Something which is always praised in 7.

Though the joy of his ax only lasted for a little bit. Even if felt like it was created exactly for him, something was off. Pike couldn't put a finger on it, that is until he cut down his first tree. As he looked at the fallen beauty and then all around, he saw the multitude of these beauties laying on the ground. For some unknown reason it angered him to see the amount of trees that were being cut down and defiled. Pike was disgusted first at the Capitol for forcing District 7 to become lumber jacks. Then at the actual citizens of 7 for being OK with cutting down those trees. And finally Pike became angry at himself for cutting down the ancient wise tree. And it's a disease that still eats away at his brain; infecting his soul with a dark seed that he has no cure for.

But he tries to fight his anger, as contradictory as that may be. To be fighting against a fight is some sort of twisted therapy for Pike; forcing his emotions to remain hidden and under the radar. Soon it became too much as he broke 3 windows in his house. This never ending circle of fighting led Pike to find some ink and paper; and he started drawing. At first his drawings were horrendous; then he actually got the hang of it. Learning how to show the different dimensions and shading and all of the artistic wonders there are to explore. It was and currently is his escape as he draws his emotions out and still has something left to try to tell the Capitol what he thinks.
