Harley Sanders [District 5]

Harley measures at around six feet dead. Roughly average for his age, he has the build of someone who exercises, but eats a lot too. He levels out at a rather thin figure, but not toned. He is rather pale, sunlight just isn't his thing, instead of tanning, he burns. He has sky blue eyes that reflect his colorful personality.

His shoulders are relatively big, as are his arms due to carrying heavy spare parts and pipes around the refinery. He also has relatively long legs, making him a fast sprinter, getting out of places fast is his specialty. However, he cannot run for long distances, his asthma slows him down dramatically, leaving him weak and prone to danger.

He has short cut hair with a rather large fringe, brown in color. He has a large scar on his right shoulder from when he was young - An incident he avoids talking about. He usually wears denim pants and a green t-shirt with a black overcoat on top. Lastly, he goes nowhere without his black and yellow scarf.

Harley is a do-er, not a thinker. A trait that can lead him into unfavorable situations. He is, quite frankly, a very energetic individual - He can't seem to sit still or stay in one place. This reflects in his speech, often being over-enthusiastic about everything. This can give him a bright and colorful appearance, even if he is far from that.

He doesn't feel too nervous around the Reaping, because he knows the odds of being picked are slim. Especially because his family is rather well off and don't need to enter him more times than is necessary. He does, however, still respect that he may be chosen, no matter how slim the odds. Nonetheless, he doesn't let it affect his life too much. After all, the Games are fun to watch., he loves the opening ceremonies as they are the pride of the districts. He enjoys the main games to a certain extent, even if the murders are sad, he enjoys watching the chases and adrenaline filled fights.

When it comes to socializing, Harley thrives on his energetic appearance. He adds heat to any conversation and enjoys arguing in jest, however, he doesn't do well in real arguments, confrontation is not his thing. He gets along with most people well, providing they aren't complete and utter jerks - He believes in a policy of "Treat others how you wish to be treated", so he gives no respect to jerks. He believes to makes friends is to succeed in life, and thus strives to keep everyone on good terms. But you can't please everyone.

Born in District 5, Bred in District 5. Harley grew up in a working family. An only child thankfully, being one of many would mean more mouths to feed, which in turn meant more work. He was brought up to work like most 'Fivers', at the Oil Refinery. His father forced him to begin work at the age of seven, as soon as he was old enough to think for himself and young enough to fit through small pipes to clean out blockages. A job that most kids were assigned to do, as they could climb inside the pipes easier than adults could. At first, Harley refused to go, it was out of the norm for him. After a beating from his father, he was soon convinced otherwise.

At the age of eight, Harley found himself stuck in a pipe one day. It was the most horrific experience of his life - Stuck in a narrow space with depleting levels of oxygen. An adult had to yank him out, but in the process, his arm was caught on a screw, cutting his shoulder open. It was regarded as a minor accident, the plant made no changes to it's policy on children.

Harley returned to the plant a few weeks later, not by choice. He suffers from claustrophobia, the incident affected his life in a major way. Eight year olds were too big to fit in pipes, so they had a choice of working in the Drilling Section or the Repair Section. Refusing to work in the drilling section, as that involves small, confined places, he now works in the repair and engineering section of the plant. He partially enjoys it, so long as he isn't exposed to the fumes too much as he suffers also from minor asthma, picked up over the years from general pollution in District 5, but not really recognized until he was around four or five years old. He likes working as a mechanic, he has good dexterity, so fixing small parts is fun for him. It's better than most jobs, so he tries to stay positive.

He has never worried too much about the reaping.

Suffers from Asthma and Claustrophobia.
