Jason Helken District 4

Jason is the quintessential ex-Career turned surfer. Standing 6'4" and weighing in at an amazing 220 pounds, Jason is a fun loving and smiley person that has the innate ability to light up the room when he smiles. He has brown eyes that light up when he gets happy and match his blonde hair and tanned complexion.

Jason is also very strong. He was a Career when he was younger, but due to a concussion when he was meant to volunteer, he was passed up for the Games. He has broad, muscled shoulders, six-pack abs, and a lot of arm strength. He also has wicked leg strength from running and playing sports, his favorite of which is street hockey.

However, one of the issues with playing street hockey, and being a Career in general, is that the hard hits can sometimes leave scars. That being said, Jordan is missing a tooth from a fight and has cut on his chin. Although Jason had a false tooth put in, he is still a bit self-conscious about whether or not it looks real.

Most times, Jason wears jeans and a tight fitting muscle shirt over a pair of swim trunks, unless he is wearing workout clothes. He loves wearing sneakers or flip-flops but can even be seen in boots because he had once trained in them.

Jason is a happy person who loves most people. He is the third of four children, so was definitely apt to become the joker of the family. He is light humored and willing to roll with the punches, even if they don't always work out in his favor.

Jason is determined, proud, and overall someone that will stand up for what he believes in. Having come from a family of athletic Careers, the oldest of which is a victor, Jason always felt the immense need to live up to the expectations everyone sees for him. Although he would much rather play sports or swim, he knows where his duty lies.

Jason is also a fighter. Not that he has anger, but instead of talking things out he wants to fight it out. His friends always joke that his epitaph will read something to the effect of "Solves the problems of the world with fists and fun." It was after a fight with his older brother Marc over who was taller that finally Jason's parents decided to enroll them both in street hockey which has shaped a lot of their personalities.

Once joining hockey, Jason was able to channel the fighter into a productive member of team. Thus, whenever he played hockey, he excelled in the physical aspect of it. This also fit perfectly into his Career training because not only did it require skill, but determination and willingness to listen before you act.

When around girls, Jason turns into the complete ladies man. He almost treats dating as a game, and he is quite good at it. He smiles, pretends to listen, and will support them for as long as they hold his interest. This gives a bit of a bad impression but if the girls keep coming back, why should he change at all?

Jason was born to a loving family that while they didn't have undying love for the Capitol, did not despise it either. They were fully content with what cards they had be dealt in life. He is the third child of four with two older brothers Eric and Marc, and a younger brother Jared.

After learning to swim before he could walk, it was obvious that Jason had a natural affinity for athletics. As he began to walk around and grow older, he was enrolled like his older brothers into the Career training. Here he excelled, not only in hand-in-hand combat but also in swords, spears, and maces.

When he turned 12, Jason became obsessed with figuring out how the Careers were chosen to volunteer. When he asked his older brothers, they said only the best of the best got picked. From then on, if for no other reason than to prove he could, Jason was determined to get picked for the Games. The next year, his brother was chosen to volunteer and returned a victor. That solidified Jason wanting to be a part of the Games.

However, when Jason turned 18 and was set to volunteer, tragedy struck. In a final training period, Jason underestimated his opponent and ended up getting hit across the temple, hard. He suffered a mild concussion and the doctor told him no strenuous activities for week. At the reaping, another boy volunteered and Jason was passed over for the chance of a lifetime.

After being passed over for the Games, Jason was forced into the fishing business as was protocol for anyone in District Four. He didn't mind fishing, because it meant swimming, but he minded not being able to relax and work out for a large portion of the day.

When off of work, Jason knows how to have a good time and spends a large portion of his free time doing just that. When he isn't playing hockey or working out, he is flirting with anything in a skirt. Although he has the general reputation of being a man whore, he continues to get girls.
