calvin maclen hawke [district three]

My name is Calvin Maclen Hawke. You can call me Junior, man. Most people do anyways. Names complicate things. Let's keep it easy, yeah? I'm from District Three, but I ain't no fucking braniac. I'll only be in those damn factories to sell my goods to some of the stressed workers. I'm eighteen years old, so I'm as legal as you can get, ladies. Almost free of the sick Games too. I'm only into Ladies, in two ways if you get what I'm saying. And if you couldn't already tell, I'm a guy. Hit me up if you need some drugs. I'm your man.

Topping out at 6'3'', Calvin is one of the taller kids in the District. He walked like that too, his shoulders pushed back to give him more of a larger appearance. His skin is lightly tanned, still on a bit of the paler side though, and is fairly smooth. He appears out of place in the District Three streets with his height and his obvious confidence. He walks with his chin held high and his chest pushed out and a smirk crossing his face like he knows something that nobody else knows. Calvin enjoys how he looks, not having any qualms about his features, but not to the point of obsessing over every little bit of his appearance or thinking he's the best looking guy in District Three. As for his limbs, they are all proportional and aren't out of place. Calvin's muscles aren't too large compared to Careers, but they are compared to most of the District Three guys.

Calvin's face is fairly gaunt, but rounded around the edges. His eyes appear to droop on both sides, hazel pupils appearing to be in a sea of white. His eyes are usually glassy and wet, looking really cool under some lighting. His nose is thick along the bridge and appears kind of torn around the nostrils because it actually is torn from a childhood accident. His ears are small, sticking off his head a bit more than usual. His top lip is thin and colored a reddish tint, while his bottom lip is much thicker. His teeth are an off white color and are fairly straight along the top, crossing over each other slightly on the bottom. His eyebrows are really thick and bushy, colored a dark brown color. His hair is curly and a lighter brown, appearing really messy and like he just woke up. He has a smooth face free of facial hair because of his frequency in shaving.

His shoulders are often pushed back to straighten his posture, giving him a look of confidence and pride. Which he has enough of, really. His neck is a fairly normal size compared to his head, splitting of into the broad shoulders. Dead center of his neck is where his laryngeal prominence [Adam's apple] sticks out quite a bit. As for his chest, it's flat and smooth with only hair follicles along it and nothing actually fully grown in. His stomach is also fairly flat considering he enjoys food a lot, and if he has abs, they really can't be seen very well. His arms are long and they are proportional considering his height, ending with large hands and thin and long fingers. His bicep prominently sports his muscle as it's prominent against his pale skin. Hair covers his arm, but it's fairly sparse. Calvin's body hair is really only thicker on his legs, everything else seeming practically bare. Rough palms split off into his five long fingers, each having a rough nail that's chipped at the end from biting on it. Calvin's legs are where most of his height is. They both appear like "chicken legs", in other words thin, but he does have quite a bit of muscle in his lower body area. His feet are large and always feel cold, his toes being short and stubby.

Often found in simple running shoes, Calvin doesn't really care much for shoes. He puts them on his feet, walks in them, runs in them and really doesn't need to look good in them cause they're off when it matters. His pants are the opposite of Nikon's, usually straight cut and are a bit tighter than the loose style that Nikon wears. Always bunched up along the lower leg, he actually likes his style in pants, usually wearing gray or dark blue colored ones. As for shirts, Calvin is usually wearing either plaid button ups, t-shirts or sweaters, sure to keep him warm when he's outside in the alleys at night. He is almost always wearing a hat, the flat beak casting a shadow across his face in the darkness, which in his business is like a blessing. As for accessories, he really doesn't wear any as they are means of identifying him when he tries to keep himself unknown. However, one bracelet wraps around his wrist, a bracelet that identifies to doctors at the hospital and to others around him of what he has.

Calvin is overall, a jerk. Definitely seen as one of the bad kids by elders and the authority, Calvin tends to be rebellious and he enjoys being different and not following the rules that most people do. Some people have seen this as a good thing as he has had no issues making friends or getting with girls, but he never seems to be able to keep them long enough due to his sarcastic humor, cold remarks or ignorant ways. While he enjoys the darker side of life and the darker path, Calvin likes to think that he is tough and that he won't take shit from anybody. In reality, he could be considered tough by some but he would be nothing while standing in front of a bulky Career in a situation like the Hunger Games.

Does he have a soft side? You could say that. Calvin has always been respectful of girls. Yes, he has been known to spend only one night with some of them, taking a hold of their feelings and breaking them the next moment by leaving them with no call or a second visit. However, he has never been a fan of those in his side of life who enjoy hurting girls, whether physically or mentally. Kind of being a hypocrite, he is the first to defend a girl who was treated like shit by others. And in most cases, he just wanted to do the same. However, not every girl that he meets is treated like that. He has no issue befriending girls and steering away from anything romantic or sexual. That doesn't mean he's not thinking about all the things that he wants to do though. His mind could run on and on without any sign of that being on his face. Having a big imagination is just as much a curse too as he often finds himself paranoid of the darkness of night, afraid that somebody could jump him or something.

Calvin got into drugs and crime when he was fourteen. Being on that side of the law taught him to be more aware of his surroundings and to analyze people more. He's calculative and often blunt with others because of how dangerous trusting people could be. That's why he tends to have a wall up to protect people from getting to close. Only one person has passed his barrier and stayed inside, the one person he truly trusts and likes. Nikon has been his best friend for the longest time and probably will be for the rest of his life. That's just how close they were, even since they were really young. Calvin would do absolutely anything for Nikon, even if it meant endangering himself. That's part of the reason why he jumped into the drug life without thinking twice. He wanted to have a good source of income to keep Nikon and himself safe from Reapings as much as possible and steering clear from tessera. Everything he does is usually done to try and benefit Nikon.

Calvin is one of those guys who takes everything for granted. Whether it's nice home, having girls or anything really, he never cares about respecting that any minute, it could be gone. He really doesn't respect it at all. He even expects things to be given right to him in some cases, other times believing that if he works towards it, he should be compensated greatly. However, Calvin never expected that he would need to respect that his life could be gone in an instant. Calvin had no idea that the dangerous disease, a rare type of cancer that was basically incurable with the money that he had, would infect his body and basically limit his time alive. He really couldn't have guessed that he'd be given only a few more months to live unless he went through treatment. But where would he come up with the money for that?

In District Three with two parents who really couldn't give a shit was where Calvin's life began. And that was how it was for the first few years of his life, unfortunately. His parents were oblivious to him in most cases, only providing what was necessary because their jobs got in the way. He learned to provide for himself and to accept no help from anybody at a young age which seemed to help him in most situations. Growing up was tough for him because he never really had a parental figure to go to, almost seeming like an orphan because they had next to no contact with what he did. Calvin didn't learn from his Dad how to be a man and he didn't learn from his mother how to treat girls. So, he learned it by himself, doing a fairly good job considering. But he still lacked the love from his family that should be the one thing he could count on.

It wasn't until he turned eleven that his parents took a particular interest in the things he did and the things he was in to as he was nearing Reaping age. But it was too late. Calvin was already used to having no figure of authority to tell him what was wrong and what was right. And there was no way his parents could stop him from continuing the path he already began to take. When he turned fourteen, he got into the life of drugs and dealing them, steering completely away from what his parents now wanted. In his mind, it wasn't their place to decide or their place to give opinions. He was his guardian. That meant he made his own decisions for how he would live his life because he knew, and only he knew, what was best for him. His parents only tried to know him eleven years after. It wasn't good enough for Calvin.

However, there was somebody who was there for him throughout the whole growing up process. Nikon was Calvin's best friend since the beginning of time. They really didn't know when it started, only that their parents were friends and they brought each other together. Even at a young age, things clicked and that's when their close relationship began. Nikon was always there for Calvin and Calvin was always there for Nikon. It was like an unspoken code that could never be broken. They began to help each other in whatever way they could, providing somebody to talk to or even food and money when it was needed. They were inseparable and they were more than best friends. Calvin and Nikon were like brothers that didn't fight. Perfect brothers. They learned everything about life together.

And one day, they came up with the idea to write a list of things they've always wanted to do, including random things that would be seen as stupid to some but meant so much more to the two of them. But the list was quickly hidden under clothes and junk as they grew up, never thinking to actually complete the list. And as the days and weeks and months and years went by, they only grew closer. It was as if they could almost sense if something was wrong with the other, that's how close they were. Nikon was probably sensing a whole lot of it when Calvin randomly dropped to the ground one day, a layer of sweat covering his skin. That was the day he was diagnosed with the disease that would claim his life in only a few months. That was the day everything fell apart.

He was put on bed rest in the hospital until he could walk again, which happened soon enough. However, Nikon was still there whenever he could be. And when he showed up one day with a rough piece of paper in his hand, a piece of paper that meant so much to the two of them, Calvin knew that they had to do it. They had to try and complete as many things on it. It would be the greatest way to end life. With your best friend by your side, doing the things that you've always wanted to do. And if they couldn't complete it, at least they tried. And they'd do it together. To Calvin, that was the only thing he could ask for if he was dying. Because with Nikon, he had a family love. His 'brother' would be by his side until the very end and that's all he ever cared about.

His Play-By is Sam Adams. Not the founding father one, the rapper. Sammy Adams. That one. Yeah. The hipster in the picture. He is a part of the Damesh plot. PM me to plot with him.
