Duncan Rymes D1

Duncan stands at 5' 11'' and is very muscular. He has blond that he normally keeps slicked back. Though because of the gel he uses his hair looks somewhat greasy. He has blue eyes and tan skin though his skin isn't too tanned though just barely enough to be considered tan. He also has a few scars that cover his body.

One of them is located on his hand from when he accidently stabbed himself when he was young. Another is located under the left side of his jaw. He got this one from his fight with Lions. His third scar in located on his left ring finger from when he sliced it open after punching a window. With this one you can clearly see and count the stitches, five to be exact. Honestly other than that Duncan is fairly normal looking, for District 1 anyway. Ya in the other districts he would be considered fairly good looking, but in one he's fairly average.

Duncan is a bit arrogant at times… scratch that most of the time. He's always going on about how strong he is and how he can kick everyone's ass (which he has done before.) Though he is able to recognize when other people have talent and he will tell them that they do but he will never admit that they're better than he is. This mostly stems from this one time where he got into a fight with this older career when he was 10. The career kicked his ass but admitted that the kid had talent. That career, Lions Mcfarly, went on to win his Games causing Duncan to train even harder in order to out shine Hayden (ya I know history in the personality section but hay I figure it's kind of needed).

Duncan can also be a very loyal person to those he cares for. He has a damn hard time turning his back on a friend and will hate himself for doing so. He isn't the type to take things laying down either. If you come after him or one of his friends you will get your ass whopped no ifs ands or buts about it. He isn't just let things go he never has been and never will be.

Duncan isn't shy in the least bit really. He is very talkative and at times doesn't know when to shut up. He also has a bit of a heart as well. Of course though that doesn't mean he's got that many friends. He doesn't really have a hard time making friends but he defenatly has a hard time keeping them. I guess because of this Duncan would be concidered a loner in a sence.

The reason for this though would be because of the fact that Duncan's time is filled with two things. School and training. Also checking out guys I guess. Oh ya Duncan's gay, openly gay in fact. It's never really been a problem for Duncan nor has he ever really cared. Anyway back to what I was saying Duncan doesn't really do that much other then go to school and train. In his mind it's a short term loss and a long term gain, well that is if he's reaped anyway.

Duncan also has this belief that someone shouldn't just be their past. He can't stand emo back stories and thinks that at some point people should just move on with their lives. Yes he does believe that when people lose someone they should take some time to morn their loss but he doesn't think that people should just waist their lives just wallowing in self pity either. He will normally bluntly tell someone to move on by saying one of 2 things. If they lost a loved one "Do you think that they would want for you to cry over them for your whole god damn life" and if it was sone traumatic event he'd normally just say "That one moment isn't who you are so suck it up and deal with it or go to therapy that tends to help". He has a hard time accepting that some people have a much harder time then others simply moving on with their lives after something traumatic.

Duncan was born 18 years ago to Hail and Dean Ryans on June 10th. He was the first and only born in the family. Once he was 9 he made the choice that he wanted to be a career and started to train like crazy. His parents didn't force the choice onto him at all he just chose to be a career. In fact his mother completely hates the fact he's training to be a career.

A year later he ran into an 18 year old career named Lions Mcfarly. After about 2 minutes of boosting about how great he is Lions got tired of it and the 2 got into a bit of a fight in which Lions won. Afterword Lions admitted that Duncan had some talent but would never be able to beat him. Lions then explained that he had been training ever since he was 6 giving him a ton more training time. Lions entered the games 2 weeks later and won in a total of 17 days (the real games lasted quite awhile didn't it). Ever since then he's kind of been like an older brother to Duncan though he's never quite let go of the time he kicked his ass.

A year after Lions won his games Duncan was in class staying after. He had noticed that one of his class mates, Jenna Frost, had left their journal behind. He the curious little guy he was he couldn’t help opening it up and discovering something he wished he hadn’t. He discovered that Jenna was completely insane and sadistic. Up until then everyone including Duncan had believed that Jenna was this nice and sweet girl who would never hurt anyone. He also soon discovered that she wanted to enter the Hunger Games and nothing would stop her.

Before he could read any further Jenna appeared behind him with a knife and threatened to kill him if he told anyone. In fear he accepted and gave her back the journal. Over the years he’s seen her acting kind and giving and it has pissed him off. He knows that she’s just putting up an act for everyone else but he can’t do anything about it. He knows that if he steps in she will kill him. She’s fooling everyone into believing her and he can only stand by and watch.


Other then that Duncan's life has been one thing and one thing only. Training training and more training. At the end of the day Duncan's a career through and through and because of it he has never really allowed himself to... Have a life I guess. His life outside of Lions and Jenna has revloved around school and training for the Hunger Games. Other then Lions he doesn't have friends. Other then Jenna he doesn't any enemies. He's never really had a girl friend, or in his case boy friend, either. He's never really given himself the chance to have a life and to be honest he doesn't really care to have one.

As far as the Jenna thing goes she's also another character I'm working on so that's why she's in there.
