You're On, Dee!

Canon stands at 4'3 and is the heavier of the three brothers, weighing at 102 pounds. He resembles his siblings immensely, sharing the brown hair that goes hardly pasts the ears and ever-blinking eyes of the same color. Despite being the bigger in weight, he could almost pass off as the little brother, Armastus, from the backside. Though being from the Seam part of District 12, Canon has the second-lightest skin tone, a softer peach pigmentation. (Thanks to Armastus, he is not the lightest). Out of the three, he does the very reserved, mature smiles.

All three brothers wear baggy clothes. Canon takes Lance's (the eldest brother's) clothes, which will be passed down to Armastus when he outgrows them. Even though the colors are not to his taste, Canon cannot dismiss the comfort of brown and tan clothing that were once Lance's. He will just say that at least his older brother takes better care of the jeans and short-sleeved shirts than Armastus. Generally, the middle child is usually seen with a rope tied around the waist (to keep the shorts from falling) and smudges all over his body. About the only thing Canon cares for is the shoes, for not often can he receive hand-me-downs from Lance. Their grandmother has to buy separate footwear for the each, and Canon tends to scowl when his pair receives scuff marks.

Maturity is the prized trait for Canon. From both brothers, he is relied on to settle differences and be diplomatic. He knows how to put up faces in front of people - be they wrong faces - unlike Lance and Armastus, who tend to be more honest and prone to upset others. He lives life on a schedule and is constantly changing these mental plans when something arises that messes up the day. Sometimes his brothers say that he knows how to work efficiently and hardly procrastinates.

Honesty still is a trait that Canon shares with Lance and Armastus, though he will say that his bluntness is rather infrequent thanks to the dependence from his siblings. While he shows that he hates being depended on from both the older and younger brothers, Canon has yet to realize that is dependent on them. He fears the three of them to be separated because of wanting a stable foundation. Stability is valued for Canon; and, if some event were to break that stability, he will do drastic actions in order to 'regain' it. Unlike his brothers, Canon has a neutral disposition; he believes in the human being rather than the forces of good and evil.

Their caretaker (their grandmother) has dubbed, in light humor, Canon as being the 'mother' of the relationship. Much to his chagrin, the middle child takes the burden of chores more so than Lance and Armastus, is more worried about finances, and is ultimately more possessive than the two. Canon hardly remembers what it is like to be a child. Though the maturity may not be shown in how he speaks, Canon's topics sometimes gravitate towards adult subjects, such as the economy and the life of the people in the Seam. With his age peers, he is the one brother that has the hardest time integrating, sometimes irked with himself due to this.

Canon's parents were born poor and stayed that way. Numarks' hardly could contemplate a life full of food and splendor; and, a lot of times, they were struck with sickness and bad luck. Against a logical solution to their low income (having no children), they went ahead and gave birth to many. Their children went in the order of: Lance, Canon, and Armastus. Howard and Gina Numark's boys were each two years' apart, but they doted like as though the sons were triplets. Even in the world of death and fighting, they had tried to bring up the three on the concepts of love and working hard and honestly to achieve great things.

However, Howard was a bit reckless and persistent, rubbing off on Lance. In his aspiring personality, the Numark father thought he could go a little longer down in the mine, to bring home more money than usual. Gases in the mine were hazardous; though not poisonous, Howard had delved some meters too deep. Before he could get back to the surface in time, he had suffocated and died halfway to the top. Miners suffocating was a common predicament in District 12; it was still a tragedy for the Numarks', though. Especially for Gina, who seemed to be more dependent on her husband's work.

She had gone through a period of shock, grieving and mourning for Howard. Canon used to watch her in her room, neglecting the meals he would make for the family. Gina went through months of pushing away food, no matter if her children or Howard's mother told her to eat. Dropping so many pounds and taking on a sickly look, the mother would try to smile - and continued to try to look fine until the day she passed away from bodily neglect and malnutrition. Howard and Gina's sons had to move in with their last living relative, with frowns on their faces, and can only work on chores, not yet old enough to take on jobs.

Er... no.
