Onyx Shiver, District One(finished)

The main attributes that attract one’s attention to Onyx is his sunny complexion, his chiseled abs, and the brightness of his teeth. Onyx, being a Carrier, always keeps himself in the best of shape, with training and such. His lean and lithe physique, and his shorter than normal build of 5’8 gives him agility over other males his age, and his skin has turned a permanent light brown from his time exercising or working in the sun. The only flaws in his perfect appearance would be the scar running from his left shoulder down diagonally to his right hip, marring his back; a scar which he acquired during a party, which turned into a knife fight,and the gash on the right side of his jaw, its like a small line going down and is about 1/2 inch wide. Also, Onyx's nose has been broken a few times, which results in it being slightly crooked if you look at him head on. However, these don't cause Onyx any hesitation in being a normal guy, such as not wearing a shirt or trying to hide his face. Being one of that rare breed which possess blonde hair and brown eyes, Onyx likes to joke around that he got his eyes dyed once to run from the Capitol and Peacekeepers, but, you know, that’s really just a story.
Seriously though, Onyx is pretty much one hell of a babe. He’s ripped from mining gems and practicing his skills when training, and with his hair and eye combo, everyone is pining to catch his eye. Due to the fact that Onyx is a true blue kick ass rebel, he often is too lazy to shave, and therefore often has a layer of thick stubble around his jaw and going up his chin, though many girls think he styles it by shaving, and thus defeating his lazy attitude. This boy likes to be outdoors, and as before mentioned, is permanently tan. He often walks around without a shirt on at home, or during a long workout period, which many young ladies would die for a chance to see, though many of them secretly worry about him, and that he might get cancer from too much sun.

Onyx likes to soak in people’s concern and genuine love for him just as much as the sun. As before mentioned, Onyx is one hell of a bad ass rebel. He likes to rebel against Capitol assignments, and often tries to smuggle gems for his family, with the help of his plentiful charisma and good looks. Because of this, people like him and consider him to be a common day “Robin Hood”, since he likes to help out those in need, though he really doesn’t like them to know he is giving them gems and food and things. He does not often gets caught and reprimanded for his actions, except for the one time when he was smuggling a sack of diamonds and was whipped, which explains the one long gash which remained from the cat of nine tails that was used on him.
This guy also enjoys company, and is definitely an extrovert. He is not shy with girls, and likes to joke, trick, and fool around with his guy friends. He can be sweet and caring when the time calls for it, but he usually is a flirty tease, which many girls find appealing. Onyx bounces between his girls and therefore isn’t looking for a serious relationship. He is best friends with Apex White, a fellow District one guy, whom he is very close with and hangs around a lot. Mostly though, Onyx hangs around with a small but tightly knit pack of hot young men who can usually be found in one another’s company, who get along with each other extremely well.
But let it never be said that Onyx is not weak, humble, or wanting in knowledge, because his boy is pretty much a dude who knows everything. Though he can be understanding, and at times even thoughtful, Onyx’s usual personality consists of egotism, senselessness, and a good dose of fearlessness to finish him off. Though many people would think these qualities would be repulsive, some have said that Onyx has the ability to “grow” on you as you get to know him. Somehow, and in some way, his personality changes, making him a “sweet, wonderful, and a fun loving guy, though his outer exterior is made up of sarcasm and gruffness”. He really just has an issue with communicating his true self, and therefore, is a bad ass punk a lot of the time, which can lead him into hot water. But no matter how good, or how bad you know him, the one thing that remains the same, is his witty and biting sarcasm.

Onyx lives in the privileged house of a budding and sexy Carrier. He has two loving and very sweet parents, three fluffy white hunting dogs, and four brothers, two older and two younger. Because of him being a middle child, Onyx was often left to his own devices in his younger days, which caused him to meet and make friends with Apex and his other best buddies. They mostly have pulled him through life, though he hears the voices of his wise parents like an echo in the background of his life. The adamant neglect and very rare circumstances of parental intervention has sufficed at Onyx being subject to everything in life, ranging from learning to ride a bike to steamy hot happenings in his bedroom. Most of his past can be summed up in two words. Parental neglect.
It is because of this fact that Onyx is very good friends with his younger brothers, whom he has mentored himself, while honoring his older brothers and their separated lives. Onyx is the main father figure in the younger boys lives, since he plays with them, feeds them, and helps them to survive each year in the harsh Panem conditions. Thus, some of the best times in Onyx’s life, apart from with his friends, have been with the younger siblings and their dogs. He has hoped that if the boys feel appreciated enough and happy, they won’t turn out to be like him, even though Onyx enjoys his label in life.
However, very rarely Onyx’s parents will have influence on their children, wether it be a job, the Reaping, trying to get them engineered out of an embarrassing situation, anything. As long as there’s no publicity, Onyx’s parents will do almost anything to keep their boys clean and safe, which often, doesn’t happen anyways. Onxy resents his parents mostly for their ability to have so much influence, when they actually do so little for their own children in real life. This suffices in his enormous(and slightly embarrassing to him) jealousy, because Onyx wishes that he could have that much influence through his rebellions, through protests, anything he does to push against the current of the Capitol.
