Barryllium "Barry" Sulkur || District 2

Despite all of his hopes and prayers, Barryllium Sulker is naturally fat, one could even say moderately obese, with his pudgy form being carried upon large, clumsy feet. Barry is wide and tall, with a circular face sitting right on top of a slightly elongated neck; his added height is one thing Barryllium is very proud of, because he towers over his class. Barryllium's eyes are a light, clear green, which one might say have an almost charming gleam to them.

Barry has brown hair that he loves to keep messy, because he thinks it'll make the girls go crazy for him. He has large ears, making him a center of teasing from the older kids, calling him "the First Elephant They've Seen in Real Life," or FETSRL. Barryllium tries to wear cool clothes whenever he could, like a red jacket with black shirt. Barry attempts to hide his obesity as best as he can with up-to-date clothes or formal apparel, like dress pants and shoes, or maybe even a tuxedo if he's in that kind of mood. He prefers to wear black things, clinging onto the "black is always slimming" quote.

Barryllium is the kind of kid who shrugs off whatever the bullies say about him, knowing that they're going to be sent straight to Hell because of it and he's not. Barry's very strange that way; his demeanor makes you think he doesn't really care, that he's brushing it off, but Barryllium's words make you think completely otherwise. That he's mocking you, trying to tick you off until smoke comes out of your ears. But, surprisingly, Barry doesn't realize that. He thinks it's what he's supposed to say, which is why Barryllium doesn't have many friends.

Barryllium is a helpless flirt, no doubt about it, and because he's so nice and charming to them the girls don't really mind. Barry doesn't take girls for granted or thinks them objects, but it's because a( he's a teenage boy and b( Barry wants some company. He wouldn't admit it, but he's a pretty lonely boy.

Barryllium is very self-conscious about his weight, and because of this he trains hard for the Hunger Games, trying to shave off some pounds. Barry has proved himself a determined lad because of this, pushing himself to get skinnier until he's as trim as the other careers. He is very useful in fighting with a dagger in Barry's career training, and Barryllium has even beat careers with a sword in their hands. But, obviously, this doesn't happen often, as Barryllium is a rather clumsy boy and not the fastest of them all.

Barryllium was born to Mr. Lyte Sulker and Mrs. Tabita Sulker. His father toiled in the quarries, while Mrs. Sulker trained careers. Barry is almost the exact image of Lyte in his youth, fat and tall, clumsy too. But Tabita is the exact opposite of both of them: fit, skinny, and has almost never tripped. The only thing Barry received from her was Tabita's eyes and determination, and the rest was all from dad.

But, Tabita didn't want that. She wanted her boy to be fit and like all the other careers, so when he was old enough Tabita trained him personally, putting him on a nutritious diet made up of fruit, lean meat, and definitely no dessert after dinner. But, it didn't work. Barry remained large, no matter how hard Tabita tried. Confused, Tabita let other trainers deal with him, but nothing they did help either. Despite her frustration, Mrs. Sulker kept going at it, teaching him how to use a dagger, Tabita's favorite weapon.

Barryllium didn't mind at all, even when Tabita yelled at him. To the boy, his mom was doing him a favor, helping him become fit, like her. Mr. Sulker and anybody who watched Barry's training complained that she was pushing him too hard, but Mrs. Sulker only gave them a cutting remark and continued with what she was doing. Anybody who came to talk to Barryllium about his training sessions negatively Barry would only do the same. It wasn't that he had meant to, it just came out.

Barryllium Sulker, the boy who liked his mildly obese father, was becoming like his fighting mother.

Despise history. It has no resolution, no ending! >_>
