Kane Selvaggio D9 [FIN]

Tall, standing at 6'2". Kane has broad shoulders and big hands, rough from years of hard work. His body itself is highly muscular, his well built body standing out noticeably to the girls of the District. Though Kane is fit and muscular, he isn't so much that he's bulky; he is more on the slenderer side. His eyes are large, his eyebrows not too bushy but not thin, somewhere comfortably in-between. Kane's cheekbones high and lips full; his face is very angular. When he smiles-- which is more than rare-- his grin is crooked. Overall, Kane is astonishingly handsome.

Kane's eyes are a pretty grass green, and always seemed to be full of energy. Now, they are dull, always either looking off into the distant or staring at the ground. Either way, they appear to bore into a person's soul, to know exactly what they're thinking, when they're caught staring, which the almost always are. Kane's face is always stony. He either has a deep frown on his face or appears to be deep in thought. If one were to catch of glimpse of his eyes and look pass the dullness, they would find a deep sadness and anger hidden within. Kane walks upright, though he tried to blend wherever he goes, hating any attention that he used to crave before his brother was killed. His presence is dark and angry, and most people shy away from him rather than approach.

Kane's hair is a dark brown, when he likes to wear in a slightly windswept style. He generally likes to wear earthy colored clothes that will permit him to easily be camouflaged in the forest, and are also comfortable enough to be in the entire day. Kane used to be very stylish, but as time took it's toll, he rarely, if ever, finds himself trying to dress nicer than a pair of pants and a zip-up hoodie.

When Kane was still a young boy, he had his father's hatred balanced heavily on his shoulders. However, despite being so young, Kane handled this knowledge very well and, in fact, it made him a better person because of it. As a young child, Kane was kind and caring; the type of person who was the first to laugh and the last to stop. If there was one word to describe Kane as a child, that word would most defiantly be "friendly". He wasn't the loudest, or the quietest of children, but something in between. Kane's energy could fill a room to bursting without him even having to say anything. Kane, at any age, always loved to learn new things, whether it be pointless or vital. He was a really smart kid, very self-reliant and independent. When he'd been beaten up, Kane later taught himself how to fight.

Later in life, Kane's personality solidified. He was, as they say it, the "life of the party", the person everyone wants to be with, to talk with. To his friends, Kane was always smiling, or at least in a pleasant mood. He liked to goof around with his buddies, like a college goer at a frat party, minus the frat. To the ladies, Kane was a charmer, always aware of his good looks and their infatuation. He was loud and crazy, the funny guy, the charming one. He always seemed to be-- even when he was acting wild-- cool, calm and collected.

His wild side melted away, however, when with his family or younger brother. When alone, without a friend in sight, Kane became almost a different person. Quiet, thoughtful, always thinking, wondering about the world. His family always ignored him, except for his little brother, who invoked the only feelings of love Kane had ever felt for anybody. When with Samo, Kane was gentle, caring, always guarding and protecting his younger brother from harm.

After the incident, Kane's brain is damaged from the high voltage shock his body received, though it takes him a while to realize this. As a result, his emotions are unstable, and often go haywire. Kane is unable to prevent himself for loosing control, and it's like a different person takes over his body when he does-- he has no control whatsoever. There's no telling when he'll snap, or which emotion will come out when he does. The townspeople-- who were put on guard after the mystery of Samo disappearing, and now know of Kane's emotional instability-- shun Kane, and are afraid to even go near him. They call him "the Storm", because of his often changing emotions.

Kane loathes himself, and all the world. He has turned from the loving, almost-carefree boy he was to a hateful, confused, frustrated individual. At times his emotions cause him to be angry when he is actually happy, or sad when he is the exact opposite, and vice versa. This, along with the continued migraines, dizziness, failing vision, and fainting spells make Kane wish he were dead. But there is enough fight in him left to know that death is not a way out. Kane has always been strong, mentally tough after those long seventeen years, but never before has that mental toughness been strained then now. Above all, there is a severe hatred inside Kane, and all he thinks of when he isn't hunting is revenge. Though on who, he is still unsure of.

Kane's parents met when they were both fifteen. Kane's mother had run out of her house, crying historically, after her good friend was killed in the Games. His father, who'd seen this from his window, followed her, stopping her just as she was about to run into the restricted forest, and then consoled her. The two were inseparable ever since. Upon growing up, the two soul mates moved to a poorer part of the district, Kane's parents both received low paying jobs working in a factory, struggling along in life as best they could. Though they were extremely poor and had no means to support more than themselves, when the day game that Kane's mother learned she was pregnant, she was overjoyed, ecstatic with happiness and excitement. Hassan, Kane's father, was also excited, but having a child had never been his biggest ambition. In fact, it had never even been a thought of his up until his wife's "wonderful news".

Kane's mother was the first to die, passing on shortly after giving birth to him. Though Hassan, tried as best he could to hide his emotions, Kane soon learned of the deep hatred that his father held for him, connecting it quickly to the fact that he was the cause of his mother's death; the love of Hassan's life was now gone forever. Up until the age of eight, Kane was alone in the world, with only his loathsome father for company. Because of this, Kane usually found himself out and about the village, spending time with his friends or just wondering about. Many of the villagers knew about the delicate situation within Kane's home, and tried as best they could to be kind, as did their children. Except for once. When he was seven, Kane was playing around the streets with his best friend, Lucy, a pretty blond haired girl from a wealthier family. A group of boys, hating that Lucy showed them no attention, as well as being disgusted that Kane was Lucy's best friend, and Lucy his, suddenly appeared. The beat up Kane-- though the poor boy tried as best he could to fight back-- all the while spewing could curses and screaming at him that his father was right in hating such a failure. They called him murderer, accused him of ripping his family apart, then left him there in a muddy puddle, taking Lucy with them, telling her never to speak to Kane again, or they'd kill him.

Years passed, and Kane turned ten. His father had by this time remarried, and Kane's step-mother brought forth to the world a baby brother for Kane, naming him Samo. As soon as he saw his brother, Kane's-- who'd become a silent loner because of the incident three years previous, and had lost all his friends because of this-- life was changed. He reverted back to the way he'd been before, always sneaking out to see friends, talking, laughing, and overall spending as much time away from his family as possible. It was obvious that Kane's step-mother didn't care for him, preferring not to even look at him when he came home. It was like he wasn't even alive to his family, both of the adults not even attempting to hide the fact that they only saw Samo as their son. One day when he was thirteen, Kane mustered up the courage to go and speak to Lucy again, but by this time she had changed to much, and was not the friend he'd loved so long ago. Still, because of this, the boys who'd beat him when he was seven found him and tried to do it again. However, the failed to recognize that-- compared to the quickly growing Kane-- they were scrawny. Kane took the bullies down quickly, though one had managed to stab him in the chest, very close to the heart, with a pocketknife. Stumbling into an alley, Kane passed out, only to reawaken the next day, finding himself in the care of Salvador. Though he was eighteen, Salvador had never worked a day in a factory or a refinery, and--as Kane soon found out-- spent most of his time hunting and trapping illegally in the forests.

Over time, Salvador taught Kane how to hunt, trap, and fish. What plants were edible, and which ones weren't. The two became best friends, but Kane had not forgotten his little brother. Samo turned six when Kane was sixteen, and loved to follow his elder brother around like a lost puppy. Kane didn't mind this, in fact, he loved it. Never before had he had someone who loved him; the feeling was very strange to him. Nonetheless, Kane drew his baby brother under his wing, often allowing him to come into the forest with him and Salvador, teaching him as he'd been taught.

Kane, a newly turned seventeen year old, found himself extremely popular. His personality, which was loud, vibrant, and good natured, permitted him to have tons of friends-- even though he spent most of his time in the forests--, and many girls began to notice how handsome Kane had become. For some reason, everyone wanted to be around him, seen with him, talking to him. Still, even though Kane suddenly found himself with tons of friends, always the center of attention, Kane much rather preferred spending his days with Samo and Salvador.

With his friend number and-- as a result-- popularity growing, it was becoming harder and harder to escape unseen into the forest. One day, while trying to shake off a group of girls, Kane was late in meeting Salvador and Samo; Salvador having promised Kane earlier that he would take Samo with him, just in case Kane couldn't get free. When Kane got to the clearing where he met up with Salvador each day, there was something wrong, Kane could just feel it. A whirring from above betrayed a hover car just as it disappeared. One the ground lay Kane's little brother, on the brink of death, a spear through his middle. Samo managed to tell Kane what had happened. A runaway, sprinting through the forest, had suddenly collided with Salvador as he and Samo were just getting to the clearing. Then, almost out of nowhere, the helicopter appeared. A spear was thrown, missing the target, and then another. Salvador pushed Samo in front of himself as a shield, and Samo as a result was speared through the stomach. The runaway escaped, with Salvador hot on his heels. Kane, who wanted to remove the spear embedded in his younger brother, received a high voltage electric shock that caused him to pass out, leaving his brother alone to die.

Kane woke a few hours later, as night was falling. He couldn't drag himself out of the forest for days, and when he returned, was on the brink of collapsing. He suffered severe trauma to--curiously enough-- his head, and often would receive massive headaches, loose his balance or faint. Eventually, he even began to loose his eyesight, his vision going blurry at the edges go his sight at times. He never returned home, and his father and step-mother never looked for him. Instead, Kane found an abandoned shack by the fence that led to the forest and, fixing it up a bit, began living there, hunting only for himself, surviving with the bare minimum. All the while, his headaches turning into terrible migraines.

He never heard from Salvador again, but after he buried Samo in the forest, at their favorite spot beneath a lone willow, he realized something. All Salvador talked about when they were together was escaping District 9, escaping Panem, and finding what else was out there, if there was anything else out there. But there had to be, he would argue, a distant look in his eyes. Thinking of Salvador triggered Kane to snap for the first time, and the first murderous thoughts to enter his mind.

Kane is highly skilled in creating traps and using a bow. He also is very good when it comes to plant knowledge.
