Araris "Rari" Ghent

Name: Araris "Rari" Danger Ghent (seriously)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
District/Area: District 1
Appearance:

Rari isn't very noticeable. Of average height and slender build, he isn't very threatening or impressive. The light tan suggests time outside (probably half-heartedly training for the Hunger Games), but a distinct lack of bulk broadcasts a disinterest in the brash fighting style the more aggressive types favor. In fact, Rari comes across as downright fragile.

Despite this, he's rather handsome. He's got a rather Roman feel to him, with thin lips, an aquiline nose, and a strong jawline. He doesn't shave often, so he usually has varying degrees of stubble. His eyes are a light amber, a few shades darker than his hair, which is shoulder length and sandy blonde. He tends to wear earthy tones, but he likes feathers. For some reason. His clothing is rarely fancy, and that's probably for the better. It's often covered in cat fur.

Personality:

In short, Rari is wholly unsuited for any type of combat, much less a bloody, televised fight to the death. An irreverent snarker with a heart of gold that he'd rather not anyone know about (seriously, when did kindness get anyone anywhere?), he gets a bit nauseated at the sight of blood he spills. He'd rather stop blood from staining things.

Despite the fact that hurting people makes him want to vomit up a lung, he can fight if he has too, and has been trained by his father to put aside discomfort for the sake of the situation. However, he doesn't run out swinging. He sneaks and hides and outwits.

His father can force him to learn how to fight, but by god he'll never make Rari enjoy it.

As stated before, Rari is a bit of a deadpan snarker, with an emphasis on snark. He's not afraid to point out ironies, or laugh at his own flaws. He has the beginnings of a bit of a revolutionary in him, and if he gets on a roll (or gets drunk) it's difficult to get him to shut up about the sheer injustice of the whole Capitol and the Hunger Games and blah blah blah.

History:

His mother and father got together when they were seventeen, and he and his twin sister were born when his mother was eighteen. Unfortunately, his mother was reaped shortly after, leaving Rari and his twin sister, Arya, to be raised by their paternal grandparents until their father was stable enough to care for them himself.

Both of their parents had been Careers in their time, and their father saw no reason why his children shouldn't follow in the footsteps. While Rari's twin took to it like a duck to water, Rari was less than enthused and decided to learn how to fix people rather than hurt people. That didn't stop both his father and sister to pressure him into some form of training, though they weren't able to force him into ax training or anything. Rather, he focuses on staying out of sight, taking people out from afar and, above all else, fixing the wounds that others inflict on him and others.

He's a bit bitter about his life being chosen for him. He had no choice in being a Career and feels that he'll have little to no choice later in life as well. His personal bitterness fuels a less harmless bitterness about the state of Panem in general, which is starting to become something of an obsession. While he insists he doesn't fear the Peacekeepers, he's not stupid either. He keeps his head down.

For now.
