Talib Abdul Gonzales, The Capitol

Talib has black hair, which is cut so short there is no need to ever comb it. He has crimson red eyes, the result of surgical dying. Unfortunately, the surgery had an undesired side-effect. He became nearsighted. He needs to wear glasses whenever he drives or watches an onstage performance.

Talib's ears aren't pierced. In fact, he has no body piercing or tattoos whatsoever. He is clean-shaven, never lets a beard develop.

Talib is 6'0" and weighs roughly 160 lbs. His body is well-built and in okay physical condition. He isn't so strong as to become slow and clumsy. His muscles are more moderately toned so that he's flexible and agile as well. He is a quick runner and good swimmer.

Talib can almost always be seen wearing the latest suits and ties. He feels he's a superior being and dresses accordingly. Faded clothing will never suffice. Old, outdated clothes get burned without hesitation.

Talib is a Hunger Games fanatic, rarely misses seeing the games live--even has every episode on DVD. He tends to spend hours watching his DVD collection while walking on a thread mill in front of his big, screen TV.

Way too wealthy to ever consider wasting his time working, Talib is a party animal. He likes to sing and dance, show off his God-given talent. Course, he can be a bit of a drunkard at times.

Talib rarely trusts anyone. Although he'll accept invitations to attend parties of others, he never holds any parties of his own. He hardly ever invites anyone into his mansion. He even keeps a close watch on his butler and maids with a household security system. He feels everyone is after his money and can be a little paranoid at times.

Getting back to his Hunger Games fanaticism, Talib has an entire room dedicated to the storage of all sorts of toy weapons made of either wood, plastic, or both. And they aren't just for display either. He likes to take weapons into his gymnasium and do mock fights with his maids. Sometimes, they even go to the old arenas for some reenactments.

Talib is a bit of a narcissist. He can be quite vain, feels he is God's gift to women. His butler is a handsome devil. All his maids are sexy angels, barely out of their teens. And they don't wear traditional maid outfits either. He has them wear bikinis.

Born an only child to a wealthy couple, Talib led a pampered and sheltered childhood. He was spoiled rotten, got everything he wanted.
Well, almost anything... If he fancied a certain someone in The Hunger Games, his parents couldn't exactly remove the person from the competition and gift-wrap her as a gift for Talib. However, they were extremely generous sponsors to anyone their son liked.

Shortly after Talib's eighteenth birthday, his parents died in a plane crash during a business trip. They left him everything. Rather than wasting his time running the business himself, he paid someone else to manage it for him. He had no interest in ever running the family business himself. To him, work was best reserved for inferior beings. The rich only exist to play.

Talib is currently considering volunteering as an escort in The Hunger Games. Just watching them on TV isn't enough anymore. If he can't go to the arena and watch them in real-time or personally pick out the tributes as they stand in formation, then volunteering may be his best chance to be an active participant. He may not have the authority to choose who lives or dies. However, should he become an escort, he'll at least get to meet the tributes in person before they get sent to their deaths, maybe even shake their hands or get some autographs for his collection. And may the odds be ever in his favor!
