Tolack D3

Tolack is a boy of medium height; his neglected black hair is a mess atop his scratched head. Tolack's smalls brown eyes are filled with a look of insanity only adding to his strange appearance. Tolack's tattered white shirt hangs loosely on his skinny body. The most distinctive feature about Tolack's appearance is the wire Tolack obsessively twirls around his fingers and attempts to connect.

Tolack wears the same tattered white clothes everyday. His clothes simply add to his look of insanity. Tolack’s baggy pants are worn just below his waist. They’re sized slightly bigger then they should be. Even though Tolack does appear insane he isn’t all that bad looking.

Tolack's tan cut up face almost gives the illusion of normal when looking at him. Excluding his eyes his face looks perfectly normal. Tolack's long skinny arms aren't what you'd expect on someone with such finesse with small fragile objects like his inventions.

Tolack’s skin is tanner than most of the communities because Tolack spends almost all his time outside. On several occasions Tolack has slept outside under a tree, in a tree maybe even on a bench. As a result of being outside he doesn’t just become tan; he had scratches and cuts all over his body from several activities, falling from trees and disturbing animals are both popular ways he injures himself. Those same things are the reason his clothes are so raggy.

When describing Tolack’s personality three words immediately come to mind: weird, insane and caring.

Tolack is a weird boy because he continuously fiddles with little tools and gears. When talking Tolack is everything but normal he is quite the opposite. He occasionally stutters and jumbles words up when he talks. Tolack obviously isn’t right in the head and he trails of when he talks and doesn’t finish his sentences. Certain words with S’s he lisps and others he doesn’t. While Tolack is talking he can seem anywhere from normal to insane.

Tolack is insane in other ways. When his memories catch up to him he attempts to block out the world. He randomly screams and mutters random words. Tolack’s mind isn’t right and it causes him to have fits of anger or sadness at random times. Tolack's insanity is what most people see in his personality. Tolack will go into any dangerous situation without thinking. It is almost like Tolack lost his common sense. Tolack’s symptoms point him towards a mental disease. He doesn’t have a confirmed mental disorder because he doesn’t have the money to go to the hospital to test for it. Tolack doesn’t believe he has a mental illness: he thinks he had a better brain than everyone else.

Tolack might be a freak to those who don’t know him, but to those few friends he had he is very caring. Tolack doesn’t like when other people are being heat or yelled at. Tolack cares for animals and creatures that aren’t human. The thing Tolack cares about most are his many inventions. Tolack views his inventions as his kids. Tolack doesn’t enjoy people: he replaced them with machines. Tolack being a caring person isn't what one would expect. Tolack isn't what people would expect. He sometimes would stop if he can help someone do something or just to care for the nature around him.

Tolack was born in the same home his parents died in. On November 14th Tolack was born coming out headfirst beginning the slide we call life. Tolack was believed to be healthy and sent home almost immediately. Tolack was strange from that moment on. His first word was gears and he spoke it after two years of silence. Until the age of about three he was thought to be brilliant. All Tolack ever did was sit and fiddle with a bolt his mother had left laying around and a small toy gear. His parents were worried when he never attempted to run around or be active like a toddler should. Tolack continued to work on his gears and other doohickeys. Tolack’s parents took them away from him and he was forced to go outside and try to make friends. From the moment Tolack started socializing with other kids his age it was evident something was wrong.

Tolack grew up with everyone thinking he was just odd. Naturally Tolack was bullied at school. Oddly enough being alone never seemed to bother him. One day when he was twelve Tolack came home from school, his house had burned down and his parents had both died. Tolack had left a project out that worked with fire and it had killed his parents. The fire was well controlled but the heat caused the curtain to burn, the curtain fell into the fire and everything began to burn. He had accidentally killed his own parents; this wasn’t easy to live with.

His parents had been planning to leave Tolack. A note for Tolack that made it through the fire was found. Tolack had finally received the note from the peacekeepers. The note wasn’t what you’d expect it didn’t say “I love you” in fact it said quite the opposite, it basically called Tolack a freak, an unwanted burden his parents had to deal with when they were alive. The note said his parents were planning to run away to the Capitol and leave Tolack behind. At school things only got worse kids teased him and shoved him around. Tolack remembers one day he snapped and went on a screaming fit, the hospital was called and a needle was jammed into his arm, he passed out. When Tolack woke up he was in a home unfamiliar to him. Above him was a man he didn’t recognize, what he did recognize was the uniform, the gray dull uniform he had seen many times. This uniform was the uniform of a peacekeeper. The man told him he was being checked over. Tolack noticed he was in restraints to hold him down in the bed. The restraints were very affective.

Tolack had a lot of time to think, Tolack reflected on his life. He mostly thought about his parents, how much they fought, how much they complained they worked so hard and invented many new things but were never rewarded. Mostly Tolack thought about who he was. Tolack knew he liked to invent like his parents did. Tolack had a strong dislike for others company, Tolack believed he was above many people around him. Tolack also knew he didn’t connect with people well; he lacked the skills to communicate.

Tolack had nightmares regularly and he wouldn’t talk to anyone for a long time. He was soon let out of the restraints but he remained in the room. Tolack’s gears and things were confiscated. “Useable as a weapon,” they had told him. Who could defeat armed men with a gear, thought Tolack All that was left for Tolack was a string. Tolack obsessively twirled the string about distracting himself from his bad memories. Tolack assumed this was his new life a string and a white room.

Tolack didn’t know how long passed but he was eventually released. Tolack stayed in a small home he found deserted. Tolack now avoids people, or do people avoid him? Either way Tolack was now becoming a man. Tolack had changed substantially from the time he was a boy to now. Some major changes were his habits. Tolack now fiddles with real gears and wires; he fit them together as if his life depended on it. Tolack was also a better communicator and he didn’t regularly shut out people like he used to. Over the years Tolack has became more normal. Tolack still fiddles with string, gears and bolts to distract himself from the memories he tries so hard to forget.
