Age: 16
Gender:
District/Area: District 6
Appearance:
Orion is a good height for his age, at 5'9", and he weighs about 120 lbs. He has black hair that goes just beyond his ears, and curls out a bit. His eyes are brown, and his skin is a tannish color.
As for clothing, Orion sticks to a darker shade of blue jeans, a dark colored shirt, and his favorite tan coat. He also has a scar on his neck from an accident in his home when he was a child, from the left side fo the bottom of his jaw, to the middle of his collarbone. He usually has a smile on his face, and a generally relaxed posture.
Personality:
Orion, being from District Six, is very intelligent. Though, he excels even by District Six's standards. He knows twice as many formulas as the average sixteen-year-old in his district, and can calculate speed based only on estimations of the necessary dimensions. He is good at guessing; he can tell distance to within a tenth of an inch, and time to within a second. Though he is often successful in experiments, he has also has failed several.
Orion's knowledge is largely chemistry-based; though he is also skillful in several other fields. He knows the chemical compositions of many plants and animal fluids, gross as it is. He also knows how they react to each other, and people, and thus can make many chemicals- medicines, acids, poisons, and even exploding ones.
Socially, Orion can be classified as a nerd. He is most at home in his room, away from the Peacekeepers and even the drama of his family life with his parents and his little sister. He is very literate and likes to read and write extensively. He is generally happy and optimistic, and likes fine detail. When something goes wrong, he mentally makes a list and picks the best outcome to help cheer himself and others up. He is awkward around girls he likes, and even outside tries to stay away from them. He cares about his family, and has signed up for Tesserae every year he could.
History:
Orion was born to Kriss and Argent Orta of District Six. He was raised like the other children of District Six, and soon showed signs of higher intelligence. He was always faster than other students in his grade in school, and doesn't even bother to go, since he knows most of the things already. He even skipped a grade after a few exams.
At the age of seven, Orion's father, Argent, had been preforming an experiment at home, and Orion, walking in at the wrong time, was cut by glass from the beaker that had exploded from a mistake made. After being fixed up, his father had been taken away for taking dangerous chemicals from the lab and endangering lives in the process. His mother later told him that Argent had been trying to come up with a weapon they could use in protection against the Capitol.
At home, Kriss (his mother) had a baby girl just after Argent left, and Orion became her role model. After a few years, one could tell that she wasn't gifted as her brother, but was still smarter than average. Orion taught her many things, and cared for her very much, growing quickly into the role of the protective older brother. Since the age of twelve, he signed up for every member of his family, despite his parents's protests. Due to the many enterings of his name in the Games, he is currently waiting to be reaped into them.

If the precociousness (I have no idea if that's a word) is considered powerplay or godmoding, etc., let me know.
