[done] Thorn Ridgewood [d7]

He is not too tall of a boy, standing around five and a half feet in approximate height. He has tan skin and black hair, and a lean build. Weighing about 130 lbs, he is slightly muscular- more so in his arms and legs then anywhere else- his weight will usually drop in winter months due to the lack, or rather more lacking, of food. His hands are big and sturdy, he has scars on most of his body from cutting lumber and hap-hazard accidents while doing so. He has deep brown eyes that seem to look out to the world with coldness and confusion. He also has a wide, broad nose that most enjoy making fun of.

Although some would first notice his chiseled jaw line, most would first notice his wild mess of hair, which grows just past his ears and is usually tangled. As well as that he tends to have poor hygiene. He often is dirty from head to toe, his hair unclean and body unwashed. His clothes are ratty and dirty most of the time, though he isn't too keen on fashion anyway. He does not have any hair dye or tattoos, for he is not rich enough for any of these. Lastly, running down the side of his left cheek is a bad scar, given to him in a fight for food.

Typically he is a trustworthy person, by this I mean once you earn his trust you have it completely.. Or mostly, anyway; at least until he gets to know you better. When the trust is broken it is hard to repair, and those that he does not trust he does not like to speak to very often. He likes to keep to himself, but sometimes he will open up. He does not like women being abused, and does not like abuse in itself. Though he does go to school with people who are abused, and is made to want the wealth and comfort of a better life.. Without having to defy death to do so. He dreams of the day he will be richer, yet he knows deep down it may never come. Still, as he struggles to survive he goes to school like everyone else, brain washed by the government to know little to nothing of other districts he often tries to stay under the radar of the government.

He did not have the easiest childhood, and it shaped him into who he is today. Believe it or not, he has been abused since he was a kid. Physically by his father, emotionally by bullies, as well as rarely having food whether it be stolen or taken by force or just not in his reach... This made him colder to most, tougher on the exterior... He does not like to talk about his past. But if you catch him at an off moment, he may open up.

But if you stop to get to know him, you will find that he is a gentleman who values family and friends more then anything, and will try to work to earn his food and such. He has a respect for women, and wishes to find someone to be with some day.. His hopes of being someone who just evades the hunger games and goes on with life to raise a family are dampened by the fact that his future children will have to live in fear of death until age eighteen like him.

Born into the world of Panem, he was born in District 7 to a poor family. He has no siblings, and his family intends to keep it that way. The pregnancy that gave him life was indeed an accident, and his mother never really was ready for a baby. His father was not fit to be a dad of any kind, but stuck around for the love of his spouse. And so Thorn was born into the world in the 46th annual Hunger Games era, and like most always dreaded the annual games.. He never enjoyed watching the games, often people he knew would go into the games and never come back out.

But life goes on in district 7, and like any child he went to school. He knew what the government wanted him to know, he had no clue about the other districts nor little emotion for people from other districts. He hated to see people die every year in the hunger games, but every day that went by when someone from his district evaded death he was relieved in a way. As he went to school and went on with his life, he was bullied. He was not the most popular nor the most handsome. Sometimes, as sick as it may seem, he wished the ones who put him through so much suffering were selected for the games.

Still, he never looked forward to the games. He always was abused as a child, his father always hitting him for little to no reason. Whether it be because someone had stolen their food or simply because someone in the district had been killed, his father took out his anger on his own flesh and blood. Now days he goes on with life, dreaming of riches which he will likely never have. More then that he hopes to evade the hunger games and start a family of his own one day. Perhaps some day his dreams will come true, though it is not likely in the least.
