Space Morrow | District Two {FIN}

You’ve always wanted to be on top. You’ve always wanted to reach the peak of life and never come back down. You work to do your best, because you’re a very persistent guy. When it comes to your brother, though, he always said you couldn’t do it. He said to you, from a young age, that you’d never be successful. What does he know, though, that Mr. Tom Morrow?

Mother and father always spoiled your little brother, but made you work for everything you wanted in life. It wasn’t exactly fair, in your eyes, but it did make you a very hard-working individual. It even inspired you to become a career, training in case you were to end up in the Games one day. Now, training for the Hunger Games is your biggest passion in life. You want to be the best and strongest you can possibly be, and you won’t let anything get in your way of that.

Day in and day out, you keep yourself as you as you can be. You dress in your own style, in a way some may refer to as ‘grunge’ or something like that. Your hair is black as the night sky and usually quite messy in the eyes of those who see it, just like the night sky is to those who don’t quite understand the arrangement of the stars. To you, however, it makes sense. It looks just right, like the stars above do, and you’ve always loved the stars.

Stargazing, astrology and astronomy have always been things you’re passionate about, even to this day. The stars, moons and planets up above give you something other than just your career training to be passionate about. You like to learn everything you can about them, and even try to determine the answers to the bigger questions your brain likes to suggest. You’ve always been the intelligent and inquisitive type, wanting to learn as much as you can about anything and everything.

Music is the third of your trio of main, big interests: career training, the night sky and music. You love the sound your guitar makes when you play it, strumming away as you play your favorite songs. Tom always made fun of you for how obsessed you are with your music, and it almost made you put it away forever. Over time, though, you realized that it didn’t matter what he thought of your passions. If you enjoyed something, you should go through with it. Besides, how could one be successful if they didn’t try? Tom never wanted you to be as successful as him, which is probably why he often tried to stunt the growth of your talents.

You’ve played the guitar since you were seven, getting better and better at it over the years. Over a decade later, and you’ve done nothing but improve as a result of all of your hard work. Despite school never teaching you how to play your guitar or do anything else you thoroughly enjoy, you were always a decent student. You weren’t the absolute best- certainly not the top of the class, but, you always tried as hard as you could to be successful. Success is an important thing to you in life, as you hate to fail.

Your hatred for failure, however, is one of your biggest flaws. Sometimes, if you fail at doing something that you want to do, especially if it isn’t just your first attempt, you get frustrated, irritated and a bit angry, too. You’ll sometimes snap at those who try to show you how you can do something better, as you’re determined to be independent in that regard. You don’t mind teaching others how to do things, as you actually quite enjoy doing so. When it comes to others teaching you, however, you get a little irked by it all. Perhaps that’s why you weren’t as successful in school as you could have been if the concept of failure didn’t bother you so much.

Since you love to teach, you’ve even taken the time to teach others some of your passions. You help train others on their path to becoming careers, and you teach others music like you taught yourself. You never, however, will teach anyone absolutely everything you know about something, as you still want to be on top. You want to be the best, and you don’t want someone else to take that from you, especially because you did something like give up the information on how someone could surpass you.

Your brother had always been bitter toward you in childhood, but you’ve never been sure why, as he was the one person that could surpass you in just about everything. He was extremely successful, and it bothered you that your younger brother seemed so much better than you. Your parents spoiled him and praised him, often pushing you to the side. Perhaps, being so independent from your family is what caused you to make friends outside of your family in such large numbers. Your friends didn’t treat you like your family did, and you didn’t treat your friends like your family treated you, either. You always cared about each other, building each other up.

You still wanted to be on top, though. If you were climbing that mountain, you had to reach the top before everyone else, and no one was aloud to get quite as high up as you.
