Grayson Syers [D3]

Grayson Syers is not the most macho of men. Measuring in at 6 feet tall and 130lbs, he is more of the tall and lanky type. Generally his build is quite average say for his thumbs being double jointed.

He dark brown hair that is about medium length and brown eyes with tan skin similar to those of middle eastern decent. One striking feature that separates him from others is a bowling pin shaped birth mark on the back of his neck.

Although his build is nothing exceptional, his facial features are quite nice. One could say his face chiseled with his masculine chin and very defined cheek bones. He has no facial hair, though not for a lack of trying, except for his sideburns. His teeth have always been well maintained due to his excellent oral hygiene and his smile always seems to catch the eyes of his female counterparts, until he opens his mouth that is...

Grayson has always had a mind that is more than capable of solving puzzles and riddles. The biggest challenge he's face over the course of his life is being sociable. Say for a few close friends he tends to keep to himself, though not for a lack of trying. In district where everyone builds technology for a living talking about tech outside work can get old fast.

Tech has always been Grayson's favorite topic. Since he does not have very many close companions most of his spare time is spent trying to create new gadgets, such a machine that can wash, dry, and fold your clothes for you and pocket-able solar-powered television set. None of his inventions ever seem to catch the eye of anyone besides the capital guards who are constantly disposing of his gadgets and relaying the ideas to top notch engineers. Leaving Grayson with no recognition at all. Though he is not detoured from his goal of becoming one of the greatest inventors that Panem has ever known.

Even with a few set backs here and there, Grayson is generally a happy individual. Some would call him an outcast but he does not view himself that way. He has never been one to create conflict but his father always made sure he was well able to defend himself on the off chance that someone should try to fight him. He hasn't put anything his father taught him into practice yet, but maybe one day...

Grayson grew up in a family of five consisting of his mother Karra, father Isaac, older brother(of 2 years) Matthew, and younger brother(of 1 year) Julian. Both of his brothers tend to spend their time together, either working out or picking up on the newest extreme sport at the time. His parents are very loving towards all three sons but do not always understand Grayson's obsession with technology. Often they will ask him why he does not spend more time with his brothers outdoors, to which he usually answers "That's not really my thing...."

Ever since Grayson's childhood he has been the top student in his classes; miles ahead of the other students. For lack of understanding the other students would tend to ignore Grayson and keep to their own specific circles of friends and so Grayson did the same. As he entered high school he began to realize that not everyone would enjoy conversations about microchips so he slowly sank into the background. His peers recognized him as "The guy that always knows the answers." or "That quite kid in the back." Though his peers may not have the fondest things to say about him they always know where to go if they needed help with their homework.

His friends Jeremy and Nick share the same love technology, which is why they get along so well. They could spend hours routing circuitry and reprogramming codes. Most would find this boring after working with circuitry all day, but not them. To them, each successful invention is one step closer to owning their own company and making district 3 an over all better place to live.

I am somewhat new to the world of roll playing and this is my first attempt at a character. If you have any advise for me I am more than open to it.
