Theodore Cassano - Capitol || FINISHED!

[presto][/presto]

THEODORE "TEDDY" CASSANO

theodore cassano is a fairly short man, in all actuality. his reputation has him standing at almost seven feet tall, which wild black hair and intense, terrifying blue-green eyes. in all actuality, teddy only stands at about five foot, eight inches. his dark auburn, almost black hair, is cropped short, though does have a tendency to stick up every-place, like he just woke up from bed.

his eyes, however, are exactly what people expect them to be. with a tint like the sea itself, theodore's blue-green (more green than blue) eyes have that ability to, if he's looking at you in the right manner, give you the feeling of piercing into your very soul. with the scruff on his face, (shaving is for wimps, after all) teddy pulls together the tough look, tough attitude of any respectable child of ares.


teddy is quite a bold young man. he hardly ever stops to think things through. very much a 'get in your face' kind of young man, theodore is often on the front lines of any arguments that he gets into. however, that's not to say that teddy is stupid. he can be quite clever, when there are times that he gets into something that forces him to stop and think. he also has quite the habit of committing himself to things and becoming over-obsessed with them, being quite excessive.

However, theodore also has a habit of becoming extremely discouraged when something happens to throw him down into the dirt, whether literally or figuratively. it takes him quite a while to get over it, when something like that happens. easily discouraged is not, however, his fatal flaw (though it could totally be a close second). it would be jealousy. teddy is quite a jealous man, becoming jealous over many things.

the biggest fear that teddy has is a fear of being forgotten; the fear of his father laughing in his face, turning his back on him, and forgetting about him. he wants nothing more than to be the shining star, the best, the beast. he trains night and day, trying to accomplish this, trying to become noticed for something that he's done. he wishes desperately that he had come from a district, just to participate in the games. a second fear of theodore's is not something that he would ever, ever admit, to anyone. a fear of the dark. a fear of the dark so bad that there's a lot of paranoia that has started to develop within his frail mind.


theodore grew up with his mother and his step-father inside the Capitol walls. he was pampered and given all sorts of pleasant things, as any other child growing up within the safety and walls of the Capitol were given, however, none of these things ever really seemed to please him. it wasn't that he didn't like all the cool little nick nacks that were given to him, it was just... boring. no one ever really did much more than make bets on the games, or delve into and lose themselves in the latest fashions and foods and whatever.

the eldest of four, teddy never really fit in with the rest of them, being the only child that his mother had with her late husband. he was often disappearing into the city, finding ways to get himself into all sorts of troubles. the thing that he ended up loving the most, the thing that would often get him into the least amount of trouble yet getting the most amount of attention, was thievery. teddy would waltz into stores and come out with pockets just laden with random shiny objects. he would often dump most of it out in the middle of an alleyway to be found by whomever else was happening by, taking only the things that he valued as interesting.

still, though, his parents never gave him too much attention, just negative looks and went on ignoring the 'troubled child'. feeling as inadequate as he could, the man set out to find himself. he left the house that his mother and step-father owned and jumped into the world. however, having no skills except those tools of a thief, life ended up circling itself until he was nothing more than a simple crook. a bad guy, a spy, even, some few times. but whatever made enough to feed himself, and keep his life interesting, eh?
