Abel MacLaren // D10 // fin

Appearance:
Compared with many others in his district, Abel could be considered weak and frail, but that is only to do with his brother not letting him do any of the heavy work. If he were, even at thirteen, he would look more healthy, with some muscle to make him look like a man. Despite this fact, and due to the fact that Momma made him have at least two proper meals a day, he weighs around 90 pound, and is healthy, spending most of his day outside, helping doing jobs like feeding animals, and helping Momma plant crops.

One of the most noticeable features of Abel is his eyes, which are a striking blue-grey eyes, which he got from his mother. Another noticable part is his hair, brown-blonde, which his father gave to him. He is quite tanned, which considering his life mostly outside of the ranch isn't surprising. He stands at around 5' 2" which isn't that small for his age.

Personality:
Abel, make no mistakes, is a trouble maker. He loves to play practical jokes on people, no matter how it would affect them. This gets him into unforseen trouble, even if what he did wasn't out to hurt them. This has even come back to bite him, when he's been attacked for doing jokes on those who didn't want any jokes done on them. He is quite innocent in the cases of these, as he doesn't realise that he offends or affects the people he jokes upon.

He is quite loving, as Sam was quite loving to him, always puting everyone else before him. Abel picked this up almost to a tee, as he makes sure Momma is alright before he does anything for himself. This is only recent, since Sam left in fact, as he feels that someone needs to do it. Despite this, he can put his family way above anyone else, which is unlike Sam, who put everyone before himself.

Abel is quite respecting to those that deserve it, such as his brother, or Peacekeepers that have actually have done stuff to help. Because of this he misbehaves to most of the adults in his life, such as average Peacekeepers, or in fact the leader of them in the district, and his teachers at school, as they both demand respect that they don't deserve.

Not full of the naïvety of his brother, he takes nothing at face value, and always analyses everything before deciding of anything

History:
The beginning of the MacLaren family was wrought with problems. The first of which was the meeting of Micah MacLaren and Evelyn Foye. These two teenagers got along like a house on fire, and with Evelyn at17, they had a child, named Sam. They were a happy family, a small family, that owned a small ranch. The one child life was good, and 6 years after Sam was born, another child was bought into the world. Abel.

Abel was pampered like nothing else; all of the family adored him, and even Sam loved him, wanting to spend as much time with him as possible. Then the second problem came to life; Micah started running an anti-government propaganda. This started about a year after Abel was born, and it gave major danger to the family. Evelyn tried her hardest to make Micah stop, but nothing got through to him. He was going to do this, no matter the cost. And what a cost it was. Move foward a year, and then something major went bad. During a raid of the propaganda factory, Micah assualted, and killed a Peacekeeper, and was arestted for treason, and assault of a Peacekeeper. Now, idividually, those charges would have bought the death penalty. But together, well, it was a lot worse. He was made into an avox.

Now, while this was going on, Evelyn was the only one knowing this, and when one day was found crying by Sam. She said that Dad had to go away for a while. Sam took this, and believed this until everytime he asked when would be see him again, Evelyn would always say "Soon." When Abel was old enough, around 6 years after their father disappeared, Sam told him about their father and how he disappeared. Since Abel has known that information, he had been acting more and more like his father; just a troublemaker, pulling practical jokes on any and everyone. These had got so bad that Abel had been put on a watch list by the Peacekeepers, and any more 'crimes' as they called them, would bring dire consquences. He was in constant trouble at school, and Sam collected him every time. Evelyn was getting worried about Abel becoming like his father, and getting taken from her. This came out as anger, and Evelyn was shouting at him almost every night.

And then he commited the mother of all pranks. He set up an elaborate trap and a Peacekeeper came into the trap. It almost killed the Peacekeeper, and was chased home by a squad of them. Cornering him, Sam protected him, and told the Peacekeeper's that he was going to take Abel's punishment for him. Lucky for Abel, the punishment would have been an 'Unlucky reaping' for him. Unlucky for Abel, Sam was forced to join the Peacekeepers, and leave the family. This deeply upset Abel so much, that he stopped misbehaving the day Sam left.
