Jay, District 7 {Finished!}

Jay doesn't care what he looks like, and never brushes his hair. Despite that, he looks pretty good. His hair is raven black, and his eyes are a pale blue. His eyes are far more experienced and wise than they should be. This comes from years of abuse and trials with his father.

He's a little tall, standing at 6" 6', more or less. His back is covered with hundreds of scars, and more are added every time his father gives him a whipping.

Jay is very muscular, from years of helping in the lumber yards of District 7. His job is to carry the logs from place to place, which takes a lot of strength. This would definitely help him in the Hunger Games. He weighs about 190 pounds, giving him a huge advantage in strength. His upper body is very muscular, and if you ignore the scars, he looks rather handsome.

Jay is a very shy boy, probably from years of abuse and mistreatment. Those years have hardened him to the quiet, short-tempered boy he is today. He is very impatient, and uses his actions rather than words to express himself. He has an extremely hard time finding words to describe how he feels.

He has a soft spot for young children. He hates the sound of a child crying or one in pain. It makes him sick. Another thing he dislikes are the Hunger Games. A lot. He believes it's just another way for the Capitol to harm the Districts for their own amusement. It's torture for Jay to watch the games, especially the killing.

He often has nightmares about it and wakes up screaming, which gives him yet another beating from his drunken father. Jay doesn't believe that person is related to him, the one people say is his dad. They never get along, and they are complete opposites.

His father loves the games, the betting and the killing. He will quite often lose all his money, and then Jay has to work to earn it back.

Jay was born into an odd family. He had no siblings. His father was a drunk, and his mother couldn't do anything about it. Jay always believes it's his fault that his mother is dead, since it was his birth that caused her death. His father probably never even noticed it.

The man stays out all night, and every morning, he comes home drunk. Jay receives a beating for almost everything he does. His father always manages to find something wrong with his actions. On average, he is beaten three times a day.

Jay has to work hard to keep the house, because his father never does anything about it. He sits around, waiting for the next games, while Jay is out carrying lumber around the yard. He often comes home to a whipping.

Over the years, Jay has learned to ignore the pain. He has taught himself never to cry or scream. What is the use of crying and screaming? It only makes your pain more obvious. That's what the boy thinks, and it's partly true.
