Felix Raines | District 1

Felix is average height for his age at around 6'1". He is a lean boy but very strong even if he doesn't look the part, though he eats a tremendous amount – he simply never puts on weight. His bright, bleached hair is almost always well-kept and contrasts shockingly with his distinctively blue eyes. His skin is incredibly, a nice golden tanned colour. His movements are supple and graceful, so much so that he could almost pass for an acrobat.

Felix is fresh-faced and does look relatively young; this he does not mind, it gives him a look of innocence that he does not deserve. There’s something mysterious about it, he believes. Truthfully, he just looks like he is out to cause trouble. He dresses in training clothing whilst in school training to become a career and just normal smart-casual clothes throughout the rest of the day. Felix likes to appear dressed down when really he has spent a lot of time dressing up. He wears clean sneakers at all times – his grandfather always said you could tell a lot about someone by their shoes.

All over Felix's body there are a couple of scars, on his chest, legs and arms from practice and one on his cheek following the cheekbone. The scar came from a fight he'd gotten into with one of the other students. He'd walked away with a couple of scars and a broken arm. The other now missed three fingers. Fights with Felix were dangerous because he didn't control himself and fought to the death.

The first thing that is very characteristic for Felix's personality is his bravery. He is a big risk taker and is pretty much not afraid of anything. He likes to challenge himself in all the ways possible. Especially his physical strength usually gets on a challenge. He is also a guy who enjoys a good laugh and a good joke, and he loves to be the centre of attention, so thereby he never says no to a prank. Usually he does them on campers he dislikes – and there are quite a few. He also enjoys teasing the cockier campers, since he considers himself as the cool older student who can do whatever he wants. It is not always that the others, and especially not the teachers, appreciate that, but what can you do? Felix cannot control himself.

Stubborn. Felix always thinks he's right when it comes to most situations. Even if he's been proven wrong. He's bull-headed like most men are. Another weakness of his is that instead of confronting a conflict head-on, to try to talk things out. He'll ignore the problem, walk away from it. Like it doesn't really bother him, even though it does. He just has a hard time dealing with things like that head-on. Ignoring just seems like an easier solution.

Charming. Popular. Social. Always the guy to make a new friend. Fun-loving. Outgoing. Down-to-earth. Bars, anyone? Or anything to get the heart racing, and drone out ones boredom. Quick to decide. He doesn't go through the inner turmoil that some do when facing a decision they have to make. It's wham, bam, thank you ma'am. Which isn't how he does it in bed. Unless they want it that way. Adjusts easily. When things change, or if he's facing a new situation, he'll act like he's already faced it. Or that it doesn't really matter to him. New things are interesting. Especially people. Self-confident. Who wouldn't be, when they're friggin' Fonzie?

Disorganized. Messy. His room is usually a wreck, and very rarely, if ever, gets cleaned by Felix' own hands. Risk Taker. Fearless. He'd been around the lot of them for years, so he just went for it. Deciding that it'd be a good risk to take, help out those who've helped him out of some sticky situations over the years. The Family. The atmosphere. Being able to beat the crap out of people really kept the heart pounding too. He doesn't really mind doing what he's got to do, he sort of enjoys it.

Being trained since birth to be a Career, Felix exceeds at fighting. Though he may not look very strong and big, he is immensely agile and fast. He never attacks in full-body contact but is sneakier. He will hide and take whatever knives he can get and slowly take the other tributes down by throwing anything sharp. Felix has been trained for years and nearly perfected handeling anything sharp that he can thrown. He has no need for a bow and arrow because all he needs use is his knives.

There are many flaws to Felix though. His fearlessness can cause all sorts of recklessness and carelessness. In the life of a Career this is a dangerous thing, this is what will get them killed easily if they're not careful. Felix is very thin and this isn't something that's good as a tribute. He will starve faster than the ones who are a more normal size and because he has no fat to burn.

Felix was born to Jade and Calico Raines. Sixteen years ago he was born and from there his parents who were nearly the most driven people in the world. They were rich enough not to work and lived in a huge house. As soon as Felix was born they enrolled him into the tribute training school. As soon as Felix could walk they send him off to school.

Felix's parents are famous inside District 1 amongst the others. The Raines family has always been formidable fighters and always tried to volunteer at the reapings but still never got picked amongst all the other volunteers. Felix's parents stood for pride and strength. Everyday was a war with himself to meet their huge expectations but he managed to reach them with some hard work.

Felix became arrogant when he found out ways to meet the goals set for him. He became cocky when he fought because he managed to make it look like it came to him with ease. It may not have been so but Felix was smooth and charming enough to smile and shrug of any doubts that it opposed any difficulty. Felix is planning to get into the next Hunger Games and win it to bring more glory to his family than ever before.

It has never been in the boy’s nature to allow himself to have particularly close friends after the fight he'd had with the other District 1 boy, but he has never been in shortage of acquaintances to socialise with. He was bright, talkative and had a copious amount of self-confidence that allowed this to be the case. He has thus far done well in his studies, more due to the fact that he is naturally intelligent than because he tries particularly hard. His lack of effort is not to be misleading though – the boy has ambitions that almost certainly require him to be as skilled at fighting as he can possibly be. Felix has always had that extra something in him that compels him to succeed…
