Your name: @heartwood

Why you want him:

I’ve just read Atlas’s bio and I immediately have plenty of ideas that I would implement into Scorpius’s personality; but I wanted to put why I want him first and then get onto those ideas. I absolutely love playing brothers. There is always a degree of camaraderie and companionship that can’t be compared to anything else when you’re dealing with twins; but when you look at the individuals, the differences between characters just seems to make each one even more unique than characters who don’t even have siblings to be compared to.

Also, I’ve read a good amount of your posts with other characters and I like that you have a high level of writing without being purple-prosy. District Two is one of my favorites; the Careers have something to strive for (being better than District One), and have to watch their backs for the lesser Careers of District Four. I also have RL experience being an older brother, so I would probably let that bleed into the posts a little bit.

Personality:

While they are both twins, I imagine Scorpius acting sort of like an older brother. Because he is more a person of action than a person of imagination, I see him being very ambitious and hard working when it comes to Career training. He wouldn’t be bloodthirsty or overly violent in anyway, but his desire for something bigger and better would drive him to do nearly anything to get what he wants. He would likely spend most of his time training, and he would always push and encourage Atlas to work harder and get stronger while at the same time secretly driving himself to be better than his brother.

While Scorpius would view his brother as a rival, I’d imagine that they’d still be very close to each other and would do anything to keep the other safe. That said, there would be times were ambition would get the best of him, and even though he’d be doing things that he believes would help the family; he’d really be doing it for himself. Since Atlas is more of an introvert, I can see Scorpius being very social; trying to include Atlas in things he would likely not want to be apart of.

Scorpius would never back down from a challenge. His biggest asset would be his bruth strength and his willpower. He wouldn’t be the most creative or the fastest, but his blows would be strong and efficient, and his fighting instinct would be on par with anybody’s. He could also be a control freak, wanting to make sure everything goes his way; sometimes to the point of being overbearing.

All of this is just speculation, but I’d be happy to be a part of this plot, and I’m very flexible! I could also do a mock bio to see if you'd like it, it would be more well written because it wouldn't be written in hypotheticals.
