Icarus [Wanderer]

Icarus has shaggy dark brown that he cuts with a hunting knife and is permanently windswept. He is slightly paler than most people. He has a multitude of scars all over his body from his reckless nature. He is lithe and agile, able to leap from tree to tree with ease. His gray eyes have a slightly wild look to them from being in the wilderness all his life. Icarus is thin from never having enough to eat.

Icarus was named after the ancient Greek boy for two reasons. One is because he is reckless, similar to the mythological character who flew too close to the sun and therefore fell to the sea. The other reason is because of how easily he leaps from tree to tree, almost like he's flying. Both of these traits stuck with him as he grew. He knows how to survive in the wild, seeing as his father taught him how to make survive before he died. Icarus has lived alone for a large portion of his life and isn't ready to trust people, seeing as the few humans he's encountered in the wilderness have been either insane or hostile. Despite his chilly outlook on people, he secretly yearns for the company of others because he became so lonely after his parents died, leaving him to fend for himself in the middle of nowhere. Over the years, Icarus has learned to love the wilderness, and does not want to leave it.

Icarus was born in the wilderness. He has lived there ever since his birth, and has no plans to leave it. His mother died in childbirth, leaving him to live with his father in the wild. Icarus learned that his parents ran from the district because they hated the Capitol, but they never told him what district they were from. His father taught him everything he knew at a young age and gave him a couple of knives and a quarterstaff that he took from the district before he ran away. Icarus trained every day with these gifts, and loved his life until his father was killed by a pack of wolves when Icarus was nine. Icarus was hiding in a tree when this happened, and was unable to save his father. Icarus now lives alone in the wild, and though he has no wish to return to the birthplace of his parents, he longs for a human friend.
