Christopher Demers -District 9-

Name: Christopher (Chris) Demers
Age: 16
Gender: Male
District/Area: District 9
Appearance:

First things first. Chris was bald. Well not shiny head bald, but shaved head bald. He never really kept his hair long because in the factories it got hot, and when it's hot to much hair on your head is like a sweater, it traps heat. But sometimes it got a little long, but only to the point where it came to his fore head. His hair was brown though. As were his eyes. But if you payed close enough attention to his eyes you would see that in the right one it was half blue. And every once and a while you would catch him with 5'o clock shadow.

There were multiple scars on his body, most of them below the neck. The one on his nose came from an accident at the factory with metal. Matter of fact most of them came from the factories. But Chris didn't mind. It made him...him. The scar on his left calf though was from a mugging, which cause him to limp when lifting heavy things and such. It did internal damage and would never fully recover.

Chris was also kind of tall for his family line. He was 5'7. Actually he was the tallest in his family. He weighed 154 pounds, most of it from the muscle he had accumulated over the years and his height. He was proud of his body though, especially his slightly tanned skin.

Personality:

The emotional scars left by his father were horrid and would never be forgotten. His father was very smart, which is what made it that much more horrific. His father would beat him and his mom in places that no one would really see. Below the belt, on the waist, legs, stomachs, chest, rear ends. Everywhere thinkable. But then his father died in a factory fire one year, and then he was gone. Chris felt disgusted in him self with the happiness he felt when he heard of his fathers death. When ever anyone mentioned his father he would just laugh.

Now Chris was a fighter. He loved to fight all the time. Probably came from his dad's side. But he tried not to for he didn't want to be fined or get his mother a fine. So when Chris got angry he would head down to the factories or sometimes the refinery to work his problems out. It made him happy knowing that he could help his district by working. But he had to do tons of work in order to forget what the deal was. But he usually fought in a playful manner. Never intended to do harm unless it was necessary. And if when he accidentally hurt someone, he felt horrible about it for days.

Then there was the blind anger part of him. If he became extremely angry, he lost control. Anyone who got in his way was a target. On his mother could control him when it happened. She was always there for him whenever things went wrong and that was probably why he always felt safe with her. But he knew he would one day have to do what she did for him.

Chris was a fun person though. He liked to laugh with others. He liked to make jokes, cheesy puns, and the occasional drink when he could smuggle some. He liked to wander around the District after dark with his friends and cause trouble. He liked being a teen, but wanted to grow up so badly.

History:

When Chris was little his father was happy to have him. But his father was angry at his mother. He would slap her around and hit her and break stuff just to make her listen. But she would always listen either way. She was just that kind of person. As he got older and her beatings got worse Chris finally stood up for her. He then became subject of the beatings to. Whether or not his father was bored, drunk, or just needed something to do he would beat him and his mom.

By the time Chris was 12 the beatings became so bad it usually lead to unconsciousness. Chris was tired of it. So one night when the beatings came Chris swung at his dad, leading to a fight. Then the next day, the factory that his father was working at burnt down. Everyone got out except him. Chris could only smile at the irony and his fathers misfortune. His mother then went out to find someone to help provide for him and herself.

During that searching period him and his mother worked. And while she was off she was searching for a husband. But one day when Chris got home, he saw his mother in the kitchen with another woman. At first Chris thought it was a friend, until her and the woman kissed. Chris was dumbfounded. But he eventually learned to work past it and moved on. His mother and the other woman, Julia eventually got married.
