Doug Landon - District 1

Doug’s a skinny lad, but not for lack of food. He’s got plenty of it, but his construction job takes a lot of the useless flab, as well his more…Unsavory job. He’s got rather pale skin, but for lack of the outdoors; some people are just born that way. Try not to ask him too many questions, kapeesh? Brown hair and brown eyes are his winning combination, and he’s a towering man, around 6’2, if he allowed you to measure him (he doesn’t, I wouldn’t suggest it).

He’s got a few scars here and there, including a quite gruesome one on his arm, which he likes to hide with a permanent bandage. He’s not particularly robust, but if you tried to listen to his footsteps, you wouldn’t hear them. He’s quite good at being quiet as he walks; you’d almost think that he was some sort of assassin. But you wouldn’t think that, eh? Not a good idea to make assumptions like that if you don’t want a bad sort of thing happening to you.

He’s quite good with a knife. Chopping, slicing, stabbing are his thing. Pumpkins he can cut up well. Don’t try making parallels here, or try connecting this to the assumption that he’s an assassin. You’ll live a bit longer. He’s got a bit of a beard, but he likes to keep himself clean-shaven. The ladies like it better. He’s managed to become quite fit in his years working in construction, but he doesn’t have abs, per say. They would slow him down anyways.

Doug’s a good man, and if anyone tells you different, I’d suggest you inform Doug so he can set the record straight. He’s cheerful, a womanizer, and quite suave, if you ask me. Jokes are his venue, and a comedian he is. Indeed, he is a gregarious chap, and likes to talk a lot to many different people (who these people are not your business).

Try not to piss him off though. When he gets pissed off, he really gets pissed off. Full out rages, throwing things, screaming at people. His face turns red and his veins pop out. But you wouldn’t get him mad, now would you? He’s a thinker, that Doug, and a witty one, too. I must say, he has never really enjoyed any sort of commitment with any woman, though he says he’s tried and it didn’t end well. Since then he’s sort of renounced woman except when he wants a bit of fun.

Oh, and one more thing about Doug: He likes puzzles a lot. Give him some sort of difficult puzzle and he’ll love you for it, because it makes him think and distracts him a bit from his work. Same thing with books; he especially likes those old books on romance and drama that were written a hell of a long time ago. He’s got quite a taste for drama and the like, and says that he would have gone into that if not for the allure of construction(don’t you dare question him on his choice).

So yeah, Doug’s a very nice lad, good friend, good socialite, likes women, is a thinker, and is smart. Quite a guy to be around, just don’t ask him too many intrusive questions. He doesn’t like questions.

Born in District 1, Doug’s been living there for as long as he can remember, and it’s a good life. The food is nice, the women are nice, and the jobs are nice. Capitol likes the place and pays him real good, especially now that half the place has fallen down due to this whole earthquake business. He had a nice, healthy childhood, good parents, Father was a nice man, Mother was easy on the eyes. A diamond dealer and a cook, they lived in relatively nice luxury.

It all went downhill in his teenage years. Father turned crooked, got into some bad dealings, and had an unfortunate end. Momma was heartbroken and fled, possibly into the hands of a sympathetic suitor. Doug wandered from place to place ‘till he found some work in construction from an old school buddy of his.

Since then he’s been working there, quite pleased with his choice of work. In the night he goes on exciting outings and sleeps till ‘2, when he goes back to work. In his spare time, he collects books for his rather nice house in the city, and enjoys betting on the Hunger games. Not much else and I wouldn’t question if there was anything else afoot, if I were you.

When he grew older, Doug enjoyed more and more money from less savory sources, but it didn’t matter since he raked in the cash. He had an affair with a pretty dame by the name of Sylvia; didn’t really end well for the girl when he caught her with another man. She learned her lesson. Since then he’s been living an easy life, though he doesn’t really like flirting with the ladies quite as much anymore. He has a cousin who works in a keen little restaurant, and they help each other out.
