Adelio Barci- (District 6)DONE

"Dammit. Dammit. Dammit. No, Mom. Those tablets are not mine. I've told you this so many times. Why in the hell would I have LSD? Mom, I'm only 17. I'm not some drug-ridden idiot. What do you think, yeah, someone put them in my bag when I was talking to someone else. What did you think? I was smuggling drugs for them? Totally, Mom. Like our district has enough drug dealers. The other guys at these stuff do drugs, but I swear, not one has touched my body. Yeah, whatever Mom. Whatever."

One of Adelio's most noticeable attributes is probably his hair. It's rather long, and cut at an angle at his chin to the bottom of the hair. Bangs swoop across his forehead, merging seamlessly into the long and somewhat greasy sides of his hair. The tendrils (for lack of a better word) are somewhere in-between the colors of chocolate and dark brown, which is one of his favorite things about his appearance.

Adelio's skin tone is rather pale, and he tends to burn when the sunlight comes around, especially on his cheeks and shoulders. Mostly the face, though, and the feminine features of his face tend to get pink from either sun or embarrassment. From his quite small forehead down, his face could pass for girls, if he really wanted to. His eyes are a nothing-special brown color and rather large, with big pupils that people say makes him look drunk, though he refuses to touch an alcoholic beverage after he has had one. His nose is rather straight and almost square looking, with slight flaring of the nostrils. His cheekbones are rather high, and lead to small-set lips with decent teeth, due to his fairly good dental hygiene. Adelio's jaw is rather square, which is really the only thing that would not fit on a female's face gracefully.

Adelio stands at a fairly average height, 5' 11'', but is usually slouching, giving him the appearance of being one or two inches shorter. Though, he is slightly underweight because of always "forgetting" to grab something to eat before he dashes around town. Yeah, he considers himself to be a little bit anorexic, but only to his own face will he admit it.

Adelio is probably one of the most sarcastic people you may ever meet. Always keeping his tounge in his cheek, he tends to make things out as a whole big joke, usually at other peoples expense. And when Mr. Barci is not using his voice in such a way to cut people down without saying something directly nasty, he's arguing about somebody elses point of view. His mind is very one-track, and Adelio usually refuses to accept others thoughts as valid ideas, usually arguing his case over and over again until the other person either gives up, walks away, or he is proven to be entirely wrong by multiple people.

Some would say despite his critical and false exterior, there is a fairly caring person underneath. He is rather intelligent, you can admit to that, especially with things that involve independant and creative thinking. In school, his grades are fairly decent, though he can't really grasp the concept of mathematics very well, making him quite frustrated in what he'll use some of the information in, because he doesn't see the point in knowing something that will never get you anywhere. And sometimes, he'll even admit this to a teacher, in all bluntness.

Adelio has very high social skills, and is usually known for being to easily talk to people. Sure, after hearing his little rants about how they are wrong, they usually are a bit irked, but he isn't mean, just argumentative, and he tries to make it up to people the best he can after one of his outbursts, even though he doesn't exactly apologize about arguing about it, more so just being nice to them afterwards and seeing where it goes.

The phrase "Party Queens" May need to be reworked into "Party Kings" with Adelio around. In all honesty, he probably spends all of his weekends and a lot of his spare time during the weekdays hopping around the districts different loud-mouthed social events, always happy to be involved in a different type of scene as he changes places. He honestly likes not sticking out, and more blending into the loud, brash, obscurity that is a party. And despite what people might say, he doesn't do drugs. He may have a sip of beer or something, but he doesn't want to act like a drunken idiot, so why bother drinking?

Well, I guess he also considers it calories that are unndeeded. Some people would consider Adelio to be someone who simply "forgets" to eat because of his constant moving lifestyle. And sure, he knows he's lucky to have food, but he doesn't exactly... enjoy food. Or want it. It's an early case of anorexia, only begginging to boil into a mental condition.

Adelio was a daddy's boy. His mom was always working on some new gadget or whatever (revealed later to be a shampoo that kept capitolites hair clean for over a week. Figures.) And through his early years, his father taught Adelio about character and just talking to people and how far being social could get you. He was always there for him, which was one of those things that made his childhood... Good. Memories of the age of four would consist of flanel pajama pants, mugs of hot chocolate and his father fiddling with chemicals as Adelio was perched on the couch. It was one of those childhoods, with life being simplistic and somewhat happy feeling.

Sure, their family wasn't rich like his cousins, but Adelio adored his childhood memories. But every family had their dark secrets, and while a majority of the time, secrets were kept in the crypt, they leaked their way into Adelio's mind when he was ten years old and a quite naive person, stumbling into his Mothers work to drop off her lunch she had left at home, to find her kissing someone that was not his father. It turned out that his Mother was having an affair with a man who was much different than his father. His father, the affectionate and somewhat laughable chemist, held in comparison to the man that his Mother had chosen to have romantic relations with, was a much better person, in Adelio's mind. The man his Mother adored was cold, emotionless and somewhat bitter. And somehow, Adelio slowly found himself restraining himself from telling his father. The very man he told nearly everything he had to restrain a secret from.

Adelio was close to an emotional wreck for the next two years or so, constantly watching his back in case to drop the secret that he kept so guarded. Always a bit paranoid, always biting his tounge to restrain himself from talking about anything that might lead to him admitting what he knew to his Father. He let his tounge slip once to one of his friends, who blew him off and called him desperate for attention. Adelio took this with a bitter grin and finally, as an angsty thirteen year old boy, told his father about what he had found out three years ago.

As you would expect, his Dad went off the deep end. He literally just ran away. He frowned at Adelio, tears rolling down his cheeks, and ran out of the house in something of a maddness. His Mother came home that night and Adelio explained the situation. His mother sighed, placed her purse on the counter and immediatley went to sleep.

A week later, a disoriented father came back home, and there was fighting in the Barci household. Finally, they came to terms. Adelio's father would go away. And not come back. How his snide mother admitted this to Adelio, Adelio was sure it wasn't an agreement that his Father had decided to let happen. He was probably kicked out by force, even though she had made the mistake of cheating.

One particular day when his Mother was agitated with the way that Adelio was obsessing over how "evil" and "demonic" she was, his Mother finally snapped and retorted about Adelio eating so much. At this day and time, Adelio was a bit overweight, and he was taken back from the slight curelty in her actions. He recoiled, and slowly decided to cut back on what he was eating, then finally not eating much, and not very often. Always moving, his body weight declined. Slowly, yet surely.
