Israel Grove - District 10

Israel stands at average height for his age, maybe a little bit taller than average for the regular 16 year old. And that is about all that is average about him, his eyes are very oddly colored, they are a mixture of green and blue, but they are faded, almost to the point of gray. His shoulders are fairly broad but not extremely noticeably, but his shoulders are extremely flexible, which allows him to strike with his fists and with his saber in odd directions and in odd ways, that his opponents might not see coming or be ready to defend.

His feet are also about average size in comparison to the rest of his body, they are nice and sturdy though. His ankles are also very flexible allowing him great maneuverability and a very good advantage in fencing and grappling. His shins are fairly thin and slightly muscular from practicing kicking. He would kick targets so often his shins would start to harden almost like weapons. His thighs are also slim and coated with a line of thin muscle, even though there isn’t much muscle on them, they are very strong.

His waist is another extremely flexible aspect to him and so is his back, none of these to extreme extents but enough to give him an advantage in fighting, grappling or fencing. His stomach is very similar to his legs and his arms, thin and slender, but coated with a shielding of muscles, he has no 8-pack, but a barely noticeable six pack that barley budges past his skin. His pecks and shoulders remain the same as previously mentioned. And his arms are then and strong, slender yet slightly muscular like his legs and chest.

His neck his slender and fairly strong from wrestling and catch wrestling chokes. It does more than enough to just keep his head up. His face is white, barely off from pale, just like the rest of his body; a slight tan is the only thing that keeps him from being completely pale. His face has been said to be very cute and handsome. Of course he is not the best looking guy around, but he is up there on the list. His long blond hair often falls in front of his face when he is working out or doing any other physical activity but it normally stays upright.

Not too long ago, only a few years in the past did Israel act like any old average teenage boy. He hung out in crowds and flocks of friends and other popular kids, he chased after girls, had crushes and did ok in school. He really liked to be social, and it worked well for him, he was funny, in all the right times, never wrong, he was curtsies and would help anyone given the chance.

That all changed as he got older into his teen years, his studies began to harshen, he began to study more and more, it overloaded him. He developed a self indulged state of scitsophrenia and as you can imagine after that happened everything changed. His real friends began to give way for the voices he developed in his head. He grew less and less social.

Now all that’s left of what used to be one of the most popular kids around and one of the most kinds and the most accommodating is now just a shell of what he used to be. He doesn’t try to be as social anymore, he sees himself as fine as others may see crazy. He doesn’t really act crazy or look it, except when he talks to himself. He still tries his best to help people and live an honest to goodness life.

Before Israel was born, his parents led an average life, and kind of a love story type marriage. They where high school sweethearts who broke up after school, His mother went on to be a mathmatition and his father to be a merchant, 6 years later they met and picked up where they left off. They had a nice solid relationship, no booze or substance abuse, no physical abuse or anything of that nature, it was solid. Then there was their big marriage and things only looked up. Then Along came Israel.

When Israel was born, there were no complications, no injuries and no deaths. He was a nice health baby, he cried when he was born and he left the hospital ok. No tragic death of his mother or abusive father to tell of. During Israel’s early years he was treated well, due to the salary being brought in from bother his parents being able to sustain a family of three on their own. They lived well, he had everything a child could want, and the thing that his parents pushed the most was knowledge.

When Israel was young, he was the perfect child, he was trying to complete sentences when his peers where barely saying their first words. Walking while others crawled and solving math before others could read. Math was always a pick up for him; he was being put into advanced math classes in elementary school, college math in middle and high school. Even with his insane love for math he was a social kid, up until high school.

When Israel entered high school he joined the wrestling team at his first chance. He was captain by his sophomore year, but this wasn’t regular mat wrestling, his school also taught Greco roman wrestling which while regular mat wrestling focuses on taking people down by the legs, Greco roman focuses on upper body and incorporate strikes. And his father taught him catch-wrestling which involves tons of useful submissions, involving joint locks and chokes.

That began to take up his free time, and then his math studies picked up even more. He began shutting himself in his room, eating alone, the only two things he loved more than math where fencing and wrestling. Fencing being his other pation he practiced since he was 8 years old. He could fence with anything from a saber, to a rapier to a piece of a wood. He also got very good at ncorperaiting fencing techniques against other forms of fighting instead of only other fencers.

Then when his math work became too much, he became a self created scitsophrenic. He began to hear voices in his head, he didn’t react to them as most people would, he did as if they where his friends, having full length conversations that would take hours in real life in seconds in his head. Without knowing he was doing this himself he would use his own thoughts to bounce and relay ideas in seconds against everything he already he knew but couldn’t think of.
