Nat's Characters

Name: Nolan James Parker
Age: 16 (created Feb. 25, 2013)
Gender: Male
District/Area: District 1
Appearance: Nolan is in shape. Since he works out everyday he doesn't have an ounce of fat on him. He also has defined muscles from lifting weights in his training. He runs in the sun every morning so he is fairly tan. He isn't as dark as some from the lower districts who work outside all day, but it doesn't matter to him.

He has hazel eyes and light brown hair. He is a little short for his age standing at only 5'3". He weighs 125 lbs though, a lot of it is from muscle. He has skin problems that he wishes he could get rid of, but he has tried everything and nothing has worked. He wears really nice clothing, almost as nice as the clothes in the Capital. He has the best workout clothes District 1 has to offer.

Personality: Nolan means confidence. That is the reason his father named him that. He wanted his boy to radiate confidence and Nolan does. He is so confident about himself he is cocky. He knows he is going to win the next Hunger Games. There is no doubt in his mind. He is very competitive. He gets into any game more then he should, but he doesn't care. He wants to win no matter what.

He is a leader. He enjoys taking charge and telling people what to do and he is very good at it. People tend to listen to him because of the confidence he radiates. When his father brings in a team of people for him to lead through the obstacle course of the day (and they are different every day) he takes them through safely every time.

He is also isn't afraid to make friends, use them, then through them away. His father taught him this for the sake of the games. He is suppose to get a group together, kill everyone not in the group, then kill everyone in the group. He is very ruthless. He can be a loving person when he wants to be though. He cares about other people as long as it won't cost him his life.

History: Nolan has always knew he was made to be in the Hunger Games. Even as a child it was all he would dream about. He started training as a career as soon as he could walk. He has no other brothers or sisters because his father wanted to focus on him and only him. They lived on the wealthier side of town so he didn't have to work or make money for his family. He concentrates on becoming a career and his dream is to be in the next Hunger Games. He feels ready and knows that he will win.

His mother disappeared when he was about 9 years old. People talked about it for months always asking his dad if he knew what happened to her. He always told people he didn't know, but he wouldn't talk about it at home. About 3 years later Nolan's father finally told him his mother became an Avox. That rocked his world. He didn't understand why his mother would do anything against the capital. They were living the the wealthiest part of the wealthiest district. His father never revealed to Nolan why his mother turned into an Axon.

His father doesn't work. Their family has been wealthy for a long time and it keeps getting passed down from person to person. Their wealth comes from winning the Hunger Games. Every male in his family has won the Hunger Games. There are a few descents of his who haven't won, but they do not claim them to be Parkers. His father spends all day training Nolan so that he doesn't become one of those shunned Parkers.

Gender: Female
District/Area: District 1
Appearance: Terra can be beautiful when she shows it. Her hair is brown with a red twinge when the sunlight hits it just right. When it hangs down it curls as the ends and frames her square face, but she prefers to keep it up, out of her face so it doesn't get in her way. Her blue gray eyes are usually covered by the sunglasses she wears.

She is short coming up to a height of only 5 feet 3 inches, but she is slender. The weight on her body is placed perfectly to give her a curvy look when she really doesn't have many curves at all. She has small lips that are pale pink, which goes well with her pale skin tone.

She is a closed off person and doesn't open up to many people except for her fellow PTSDs. She has many psychological scars which causes her to have nightmares every night. She will do anything for the people in her group even if that means dying for them. They are her only family she has left and she doesn't want to lose any of them.

She prefers to plan things out before hand and hates being spontaneous. She is also very pessimistic. She believes anything bad that could happen will happen to them. It is rare that she sees a good outcome in her planning. She is a great friend to those in her group. She rarely lies to them and does everything in her power to be a great leader. She isn't very confident in herself though. She is always worried that she is letting the others down.

She is a loving person to her boyfriend Nate. He is the one person who knows her inside and out. He is the one who helps calm her after the nightmares and she finds so much more happiness in his arms then she feels like she deserves. She is a faithful girlfriend and friend.

History: Terra had two older brothers, but no sisters. Her brothers were twins and 3 years older then she was. They didn't have a very good childhood. Her parents were not right mentally, but no one took her and her brothers away from them. Sometimes they forgot to feed them for many days and they had to eat out of dumpsters or secretly beg for food. Her parents also never told her they loved her. She doesn't think they really ever did.

When she was 13, her parents murdered her older brothers because they were too loud. When her parents killed her brothers they wanted to kill her too. One of them told her to run with his last breath, but she wasn't quick enough. The knife caught her in the back and her parents left her to bleed out, believing she would die. She found the strength to get up and stench the flow of blood. She fled, but her parents still believe she is dead to this day. It has left her with many scars psychologically.

She moved in with her grandmother after her parents believed she was dead. Her grandmother didn't like her parents to they never found out that Terra was still alive. Soon after the stabbing she met her current boyfriend and love of her life Nate Red. They grew to love each other very quickly and lean on each other for support. He understands about losing everyone you love. Nate cares about her a lot and will do anything to make sure that she's alright. She is always so afraid she will lose him also and tries, unsuccessfully, to never think about it. She is currently in charge of a group who have all lost someone is one way or another.

Name: Reese Alden Vega
Age: 27 (March 3, 2013)
Gender: Male
District/Area: District 4
Appearance: Reese is 6'4" and weighs around 170 pounds. He uses his height to his advantage. He can knock people down easier and run faster because of his long legs. He is very muscular from working in a boat for 12 hours a day. He goes out on the boat with the crew before sunrise and they get back right before supper. He has shaggy, thick dirty blond hair. It falls right below his chin bone. Not surprisingly, it is rough to the touch because of the salt water that gets in it every day and the fact that it is dried by the sun doesn't help. When he feels emotions they are very prominent and you can see it in his light blue eyes. His eyes have flecks of grey in them and sometimes even look grey if the light hits them just right.

He is also tan from being in the sun all day. His skin has a leathery feel to it from being in the sun his entire life. He also has a good amount of stubble on his face. The girls hate it because it feels really rough, but he believes it adds to his image of being tough. That and the fact that he hates to shave and only does it about once a month or less.

Personality: Reese is very emotional. His emotions are always strong and he is a little embarrassed by that. He doesn't like to express his emotions to other people besides his parents because he believes a man doesn't do that. That might partly be his father's fault though because his father doesn't express very much emotion when they are in public, but express all his emotions when it is just the three of them (Reese, his mother, and his father).

He is very intelligent. He made good grades in school and learns new things easily. He He is generally comfortable around other people. People enjoy being around his happy demeanor. He lives life to the fullest and lives everyday like it is his last. He also enjoys working. He doesn't like sitting by watching the world go by. He loves being out on the boat with the rest of the crew bringing food in for the district.

He is not very flexible when it comes to plans changing. Once a plan is made he sticks to it. He hates when plans change and doesn't cope with it well. He usually get very angry and yells at the person who changed the plan. He is romantic. He enjoys sweeping a girl off her feet and giving her the finest things he can afford. He is very careful about how he chooses a girl. He doesn't just rush into it with every girl, he takes it slow, sometimes a little too slow, because he doesn't want to break anyone's heart.

History: Reese was born an only child to a very loving mother and father. His mother stayed home to take care of him until he went to school. When he started school she started knitting to bring more money in the family and to keep clothes on her family's back. They were well off between the fish his father was able to keep and the clothes his mother made. He grew up around boats being in the fishing district.

When he was old enough to go out on the boat with his dad to start learning the tricks of the trade he did it whenever possible. He had school most of the time, but on his days off and sometimes the weekends he was on the boat. It was the one thing he would never want to give up. He loves the sway of the boat, the sound of the nets being thrown in the water. It feels like home to him.

He moved out of his parent's house when he was 20. He had started working full time on the boats when he was 18 and saved up as much as he could so he could move out. He is currently unmarried, but is in love with a girl named Isabella. He has plans to marry her, but isn't ready to ask her that big question yet. They have been dating for 1 year now.

He is currently working on the same boat as his father. They treat each other like coworkers, not family while fishing. He walks with his father to his parent's house most nights and eats dinner with them a lot. They are still an extremely close family.

Name: Cassandra Noel Cowling
Age: 22 (created Feb. 28, 2013)
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 6
Appearance: Cassandra is tall for being a women. She is 5'11" and weighs 155 pounds. Despite her abnormal size she is very beautiful. Her face is shaped like an oval and she has very few blemishes. She has blond hair that is cut short. It is very soft, but fine. Her eyes are a dark blue. She has a normal skin tone.

The way she looks on the outside isn't the most important thing about Cassandra. She is 3 months pregnant. She is due to have her baby at the beginning of August. She is just barely starting to show so she tries to cover it up by wearing bigger, less form fitting clothes. She is also just telling people she is gaining weight, but she knows that story won't hold up for long. --- She has had her baby. It turned out to be a little girl, healthy and beautiful, named Adriana. She never told people she was pregnant so it came as a big surprise to everyone. She sticks to the story that she was surprised too.

Personality: Cassandra used to be outgoing and fun loving, but now mostly stays to herself. She is broken and has lost faith in people. She is lonely and depressed, but refuses to kill herself like so many others would in her situation. She has a baby to take care of who she already loves even if it is from an evil man. She doesn't like to be touched. She doesn't do like some others do who have been in her situation. She doesn't attack people who touch her she just tenses up and moves away the best she can. She doesn't mind talking to people as long as they don't touch her. She mostly keeps to her work and she doesn't trust people at all.

Cassandra does enjoy smiling though. She enjoys a good joke and a good prank. She is very creative. She comes up with stories about mythical things, but she doesn't share those stories with anyone else. Since her father kicked her out she is very independent and doesn't like to depend on other people since they are not very dependable. She is empathetic, especially towards children and women. She doesn't like men very much and doesn't think she will ever marry.

She has become pessimistic since her attack. She doesn't quite believe in the good of people or karma anymore. She didn't do anything to deserve what she got so why would karma exist? She hasn't told anyone except for her father about who attacked her, but she is paranoid that someone will find out, accuse her of being seductive and she would get arrested and her baby taken away from her.

History: Her childhood was generally happy and fun. Her mother died right after Cassandra was born so she was the youngest child. Her mother had 2 other children before her, both girls. Her father acted like their mother and father, but he was really good at it. He always had enough time to spend with each of them and always treated them like princesses. Cassandra wasn't necessarily spoiled though. She was taught right and wrong and punished for her wrong doings. Her father could be tough when it came to certain things. They never talked about her mother because her father wouldn't allow it. He would always shut down and stare off into space so she never brought it up. Her father loved her, but not enough to stand up for her when the safety of his other girls were put on the line.

Her father kicked her out because of the impending baby. He didn't want his entire household to suffer if she decides to accuse the father of the baby. She has no plans of doing that because she is scared of the consequences herself. She left the house without arguing with her father so she didn't become alienated from the house. They still get together for Sunday lunch and enjoy each others company for holidays. During the Hunger Games she has met with them for dinner every day so they could watch it together.

The story of how she got pregnant isn't a happy one. She was walking home from work a couple of months ago. It was dark, but she wasn't scared. She had been making this same journey every night since she was old enough to work. She was lost in her head telling herself stories while she walked the familiar path. She didn't hear anyone sneak up behind her until someone grabbed her arm. She jumped and was about to scream when she looked at who was grabbing her arm. It was a peacekeeper. She relaxed because she knew she wasn't doing anything wrong. She asked him what she could do for him and he smiled. He told her to come with him because he had a few questions for her. He told her that is wasn't anything to worry about, just standard procedure to make sure she hasn't seen anything rebellious going on. She went with him without a fight, but instead of taking her to the peacekeeper headquarters he took her to his house. She was about to ask him what was going one when he put a washcloth in her mouth and tied it off. He didn't want her to scream for help. He dragged her into his house and kept her there for three days while he *use your imagination here*. He told her family she was being kept for questioning so they wouldn't worry. He let her go with a threat to keep quiet and a promise to see her again.

She still works in the same medical lab, but takes a different way home. She is worried he is going to make good on his promise and hold her for "questioning" again. She has a good reason to fear since she lives by herself and only sees her family on Sundays and he could easily say she was found guilty of something and sent away. She has seen glimpses of him since then, but always hides when she sees his face. She is terrified of him and prays he forgets about her.

Name: Medea Lane
Age: 17 (March 3, 2013)
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 12
Appearance: Medea has dark red hair. It goes to the middle of her back and it is coarse. It has a slight curl to it and refuses to be straightened. Her eyes are light gray, but you don't get to see them very often because she is blind. She keeps sunglasses over her eyes to keep the sun from hurting them. On the odd moment that you can see her eyes you can tell she is blind. Her eyes don't seem like they look at anything in particular. They don't change with her emotions and are just there.

Her face has more of a round shape to it, but it is slightly oval. Her cheeks are a little sunk in since she is underweight. She weighs 100 pounds and only stands at 5'3". She lives in the poorest district and can't work anywhere but her mother's shop because of her blindness so she has to depend upon her mother to make most of the income so her and her siblings can eat. When she does eat she eats healthy because her mother owns a vegetable shop and a garden.

Personality: She is very shy and hates attention. She tries to keep her head down and stay out of the way. She does enjoy listening to people's conversations and whatnot. Her hearing is extra sensitive to compensate for her blindness so she can hear other people easily. She is clumsy since she cannot see anything. She has a walking stick, but she doesn't enjoy using it because she thinks it makes her look weak. She prefers to walk and trip then look weak.

She loves to spend time in the fields smelling the flowers, but hates it that she can't see them. She feels peaceful when it is just her and the flowers. She also seems to have a green thumb. The plants in her mother's garden always seems to flourish under her care. Unfortunately the Capital residents enjoy her mother's vegetables so much they take a lot of it.

She also very adventurous. Even though she cannot see she still likes to wonder around. She dreams one day of getting past the fence to smell the flowers there. She is scared because she knows she is not allowed. That is why she usually stays inside the fence, where she is safe. She also is demanding. She knows her sisters have other disabilities, but they can see things where she can't. She will make them get things for her and do things for her, using her blindness as an excuse.

History: She is one of the triplets in the Lane family. She has 4 sisters and 2 brothers, all with some sort of mental or physical disability. Her mother has to raise all 7 of them by herself because her father died in the mines when she was 14. She has fared better then some of her other siblings with her father's death. She sometimes misses his voice, but he paid more attention to his boys then anything else.

She has a really hard time at school. She is picked on because of her disability and she can't do everything everyone else does. She can't read, write, or see anything the teacher writes on the board. She has to have someone at school with her all the time to help her with those things. They meet up in a resource type room while the other students are at gym and they go over things that the teachers taught in class that day.

She dreams of traveling to the other districts to smell and find out what kind of plants they have there, but she knows that probably won't happen. She will most likely work in her mother's vegetable shop and garden for the rest of her life. Maybe she will inherit it when her mother dies since she is the best at tending plants in her family.
