Nick Evans (District 4)

nick has dark curly hair. his hair is not very long, but just enough to cover his forehead, but it is not too long. he has oval eyes that were a hazel color. he has small lips, not too much of a big lips like one would have on others. he is about 5' 8". he is a very skinny almost adult and with small muscles, but he is not a very big muscular guy. he is lean, and has some muscle on him, but not enough to look bulging.

he usually has on ragged clothes, or is shirtless as he works on the docks of district four. never ceasing work and always out in the water fishing. his hair of often disheveled and messy as if he had woken up in the morning, which is what he does, he does not care much about his appearance, though while being the water, he does not need to worry about being grungy unlike other parts of panem. they are often the cleanest looking for they are always in the water.

nick is a very shy man. he is not the kind of guy who just comes out and just talks to everyone. he is very reserved and just thinks about the world in such a hard place. nick is always worried. he is also a caring guy. despite being shy, he is very passionate about his family. being one of three brothers, he is very protective of each of them. as the middle child he works to be a good brother to each of them.

nick is also hard working. he works with his brother on the docks and he works hard to make sure that there is food for his brother and himself. he is also a depressed man, as you will find out in his past, his parents, and his younger brother died. he is scarred and nick has tried hard to get over his grief of losing it all, but he is using his work to try and make sure to be well.

he is also brave, he is headstrong in his beliefs. he wants to just be a brave soul for his brother. he wants to be a good guy all in all. he is not too much of a ladies guy. he is more worried about his life and making sure that his brother and himself could take care of themselves as opposed to finding romantic interests, though he has the feelings and stirrings for people, he has not really found the need to try and go and date.

nick was born of the district 4 of the 'great nation' of panem. he had been born of a fisherman who worked for the capitol who helped provide not only fish for the nation, but a little bit for the territory as well. his family were not the most easiest to work with. he was a person who just dealt with poverty since birth. he was lucky to even survive in his life. he had been the second of three boys. each of them had been working to the bone anyways. they had been struggling for food as they had been working so hard to make ends meet. the money they made from the capital was only substaintial enough to cover their basic needs like water, and a small amount of food. but not enough for three boys. nick had been working hard since the day he was born. he had been always used to feeling starved. his mother has been nothing but a servant's daughter to the mayor of district 4, and his father had inherited a dock when his father died. the couple met when his father made a delivery to the trains of the capitol, and they had fell in love, following the phrase, love at first sight.. she left her post, and just came to be a housewife for her husband. when his father was twenty-three nick's grandfather died and his father had to learn the trade of fishing at a more rapid speed than before, as he had no one else to help him. this caused some trouble in the family as his mother had already given birth to one son, the eldest, landon, and they had just found out that she was pregnant with nick.

as time went on, they had to struggle, as any family in panem, but especially with nick. he worked hard, and he always did what he needed to to speed production in the dicks. but nick was not brave enough to go into the depths of what was needed in the illegal parts. he knew that many people would steal from each other and they would be made examples of by their own law makers, but nick never tried to do anything illegal. he knew that he had to keep to himself and not make it so he would be made a fool of or worse die. he didnt like what the world around him was like but he knew that this life was all that he had to live for. nick was the mediator between his two brothers as they often did not get along. landon was the level headed brother, very rational person who kept the dock and their expenses for their father, as he grew older got sick easily, and their mother was often quiet, not saying anything and just listened to whatever her sons and husband told her as that was what she was raised to be...a servant. his younger brother always talked about rebellion. he wanted to make a better life for all of them, no matter the cost. nick had spent most of his life just trying to just be the good son and try and stay alive, following all of panem's rules and regulations so not only he, but the rest of the family could stay alive.

when nick had reached the age of twenty-five, nick was working on the docks one day and suddenly he heard gun shots, he had heard them before, but something about these had startled him. so he had stopped whatever line he had in the water and rowed quickly to shore and ran to the street before their house where he saw that his brother was dead, with a bullet in his head, and he had been told by the law makers that he had been trying to attack one of them, and yelling about them being unfair. so nick then knew that his life here was going to go downhill from there, for not only had he lost a brother, he had lost another body to help on the dock. nick was heartbroken. he had never expected his brother to go so far, even in all his rebellion talk. this was not uncommon in this territory. even once in a while a person would speak of rebellion, want to go and fight, but they always ended up dead. nick felt guilty as well, that he had not kept a better watch on his brother and if he had, he would have been alive, and not dead at his feet. his mother died from heartbreak and his father could not work anymore after getting pneumonia and had died from lack of treatment. so when his father died, both of the siblings, that were left, had little time to mourn, though they both said nothing to each for about a month as they had done nothing but feel sadness, remorse, and guilt. they had seen what the capitol had done to their families, yet, they could do nothing about it. the state of which they had been forced to make ends meet for themselves, was a little better, but the idea of not having to feed those mouths was both saddening, and relief, which they felt guilty about each time they thought it, especially nick.

nick has not been using terasae as he hoped he would not be picked for the games. he knew that he had to still look to be sure that he would not be reaped, but he knew that he had a slim chance. one last year for him to try to escape the games, but if he did, he could get his family out of poverty, and try to win the games for his brother and family...
