Soren Ryder - District 12

Soren has grey eyes, and pale white skin. He has short brown hair that is usually spiked up with some liquid that is similar to gel. His face is very rigid. It makes him look like he was chiseled out of stone. He has a very light dusting of a beard growing in. His lips are very small, and are usually tight together to hide his emotions. His nose is a bit on the larger side, but it fits in with his body type.

Soren is about 6'0, and his weight matches with his height. Most of it is muscle though. Since he started working in the mines, his muscles grew larger and more rigid. Now, they are very prominent against his skin. His muscles show on his arms, and on his stomach. His shoulders are very broad, which adds to his large body type. He looks like what a Career would look like.

Soren is very quiet and reserved. He keeps to himself as much as he can. He tends to be less outgoing, and less sociable most of the time. His idea of a good time is silence and tranquility. He has an easier time solving things inside his head without help. He will stop what he's doing to think things through. He is very thorough in his jobs though. He will make sure that it is done the best it could be.

However, Soren isn't shy. Shy people avoid social activities out of fear. He avoids it out of choice. He is not necessarily a loner, but he has a smaller circle of friends. The circle of friends are also like him. They are quiet, and they don't talk much, which is fine for Soren. When Soren opens up, he can be a great guy. It's getting to the point of opening up that is the hardest. Only one person has ever managed to get Soren to open up enough to show his true self, but she died in one of the past Games.

Soren is more analytical before he speaks or acts. He thinks things through thoroughly, and then he acts. His opinions are always very thorough, and usually, they provide good insight on things. Overall, he tends to enjoy spending time alone, in the forest, high in a tree. The silence and tranquility is his favourite thing.

Soren was born into a family of 4. His father, Dylan Ryder, was an average coal miner. His mother, Trina Marlene, was continuing the family business with the practice of apothecary. Their first child was Terra Ryder. She followed in her mother's footsteps. The next child was Rockie Ryder. He displayed the features of somebody who would enjoy mining. The family was all alike. They looked the same, liked the same things, and enjoyed each others company.

A year later, Soren was born. He was a shock to the family. He looked nothing like either parent and he didn't want to follow the path of a miner or a healer. However, that didn't mean his parents didn't care for him. They loved him anyways. However, he didn't feel the same way. His parents were just a nuisance to him. They were just an obstacle to the life of tranquility that he wanted.

At the age of 16, Damen lied about his age to join the mining team, just to earn some extra money for the family. Still, to this day, nobody knows that he is underage, and shouldn't be working in the caves. The extra money is usually used to buy food, which they can never seem to have enough of.

Married to Sammie Park.
Father of Evangelic Park-Ryder. Mother is Sammie Park.
