Ryan Sharpe **District 1** [DONE<3]

I'm come down with love,
I can't get enough,
I won't break this fever,
I need her, I'm bit by the bug.

Ryan is also extremely protective of things he loves. He had many things ripped away from him when he was little that he often clings onto people, scared they'll leave. He doesn't take things to extremes, and yet, he always has the thought that nothing can be perfect forever, and plenty of proof its true, paying in the back of his mind. He also is hyperactive and is always moving. He suffers from a mild case of some kind of ADHD and has thoughts a mile a minute. He often focuses on one thing, then moves onto the next after a short period of time. He can also be very flighty and carefree at times, and 'loves a good party'.[/color]

History:

Don't need a shot,
Don't need a doctor,
They can't make me okay
It's up to you.[/color]

Ryan's past is a very touchy subject. It's not because its super dramatic, or painful; it's embarrassing. His parents are wealthy store owners, but that's pretty much all Ryan knows about them. His parents gave him up when he was just three weeks old. He doesn't know why, or even how his adoptive parents found him, just that they raised him since he was a child. His adoptive parents are his real parents to him, but he still is embarrassed that he could be so terrible when he was a kid that he forced his parents to give him up.[/color]

Give me an answer,
Because I'm trying just to see you,
Only want to feel you,
Dying just to hear you say...[/color]

Ryan's father owns a small supplies store on the corner of a very busy street. "Sharpe Supplies" is a busy store with a fairly steady income, which helps supply the family. Eddie Sharpe is extremely proud of his son, and his dedication to the Games. One a dedicated career himself, he is often giving Ryan useless tips and rambling on 'the good ol' days' of training. He may be a rambling old fool, but Ryan loves him.

Got bit by the bug,
I'm sick and I feel confused,
I know it's true[/color]

Ryan's mother is an interesting woman, obsessed with being young again. She buys countless cosmetics and serums to try to keep her youthful features. Her real name is Mai-Lee Sharpe, but has taken on the name Gemi because it is 'hip'. She often goes out partying and has a serious problem with substance abuse. Almost every weekend, comes home drunk off her mind, and yelling incoherent words. Even though Ryan sees this on a daily basis and swears to never end up like her, he still loves to party and often drinks way too much, gets drunk, and ends up crashing at a friends house so his siblings won't see him like that.[/color]

Ryan's siblings, in order of eldest to youngest are Eddie "Blaze" Sharpe Jr, Greyson Sharpe, and Martin Sharpe. Eddie Jr is nicknamed Blaze because he has a seriously short temper, and is almost never in a good mood, but is a more dedicated career than Ryan, he was born a year after Ryan was adopted, and is 16 years old. Greyson Sharpe is more of the brainiac of the family. All brains, no bronze, if you would. He's a career, but most think he wouldn't make it in the games because of his small stature, including him. He was born four years after Blaze, which makes him twelve. Ryan's final, and youngest sibling is soft-spoken, and shy, Martin Sharpe. He almost never talks, only nods and smiles, most people think he's mute. He doesn't like the games at all, but only Ryan and Greyson know, his parents are convinced he's excited to be in games, and will start training once he's old enough. He's 10 years old. Even though Ryan is not related to his brothers, he loves them more than life itself.

I'm come down with love,
I can't get enough
I won't break this fever,
I need her.

About a year ago, Ryan met his girlfriend. Garnet "Ace" Melridge. When they met, Ryan knew right away that he loved her. She was beautiful, amazing; like no other girl he'd met before. They seemed like a perfect match... too perfect. For the last year, they've been on again, off again. She can be the most wonderful person in the world, and then be annoying, terrible, and awful the next. Yet he can't seem to leave her. They were meant to be. Forever.[/size]

I'm come down with love,
Got bit by the bug,

I know its true.
