Ryne Chalmers, District 10

Ryne is a boy of more than average looks, described by most in his district as a "real looker".

Ryne was born (or as most say "blessed") with eyes of the purest blue, but the same dingy brown hair as most of his district. Despite his uncharacteristic looks, Ryne does well to fit in with the rest of District 10. He expects no preferential treatment and works just as hard as the others, sweating and working long hours across his district. As he was born to a family of farmers, he is humble in nature. None of his clothes are fancy, and he is mostly seen in overalls and bare feet. It is not uncommon to see Ryne covered in anything from mud to feed, to other unpleasant occurrences.

Ryne is of a fit build, with a fair amount of muscle and a respectable six pack. This is likely due to the hours spent hauling feed across the family farm, but also due to his extensive work across with animals as well. Ryne works mostly on his families farm but also wherever he is needed. Popular among the district or not, Ryne does good work. He tries to downplay his looks the best he can, maintaining fair hygiene but not in such a way to make others feel inferior.

Ryne has a sedated type of personality. When around friends and family, he is more than happy to talk, but it is more common for him to be reserved in his approach. He has a "go getter" attitude and puts his fullest effort into his work, earning many a unwanted praise. He is all for a little appreciation, but when it crosses the line to drooling he is quick to become uncomfortable. Working hard is simply in his nature, his family' nature, and any extra praise flusters him.

Ryne is aware of his critics, but does his best to block it out. As a man of humble beginnings, his main focus is on doing a good job. He's not the type to take a handout, even if needed, earning him even less fans across the district. His father raised him to be a hardworking man, with his mother responsible for his humbler side of thinking. His work is his only focus and his only care. Romance is not a top priority in his mind, but as with any other teen he entertains the idea.

Ryne is very stern in his nature. He smiles rarely, and laughs even less often. This is not to say that he does not enjoy life, but he had a very morbid approach. This is all due to "The Hunger Games", and it is likely for this reason that he does not pursue any male love interest as well. When he speaks, it is often shaky or littered with cruelty. He is fully aware of the possibility of being reaped, and although he welcomes it, he is again morbid in nature. He does not believe he, or anyone else in his district has a strong chance. Death, in his mind, is inevitable.

As noted earlier, Ryne comes from a family of farmers. Life has been harder in his district than in most, as District Ten is poor and desolate. All of this despite their supplying The Capitol with their meats, with no returned favoritism of any sort. Also as noted, Ryne comes from a relatively humble family. Neither parent was reaped and neither parent has ever shown any intent to rebel, although his mother can have a temper from time to time.

Life for Ryne Chalmers has been interesting. Not hard, not overwhelming, but strenuous certainly. His life has been filled with both triumph and despair, although despair wins out in most cases. His clothes have always been decent, but nothing special or magnificent as with every other person in District 10. His clothes are often dirty and so is he, although it could be argued that with his looks that didn't matter.

Looks or not, he continues to work hard. Ever aware of the possibility of being reaped, Ryne goes about life in the way that most do. Aware, in fear, but doomed to live this life with no other choices. Like his parents, he has never rebelled. He slaves away feeding animals, butchering if called to, all in the name of the mighty capitol.

It is worth noting that because of his work with the animals, and also with butchering them, that he is strong. Not just strong, but aware of such and the necessary means to obtain what he wants. In a sense, he is calculated. He harnesses all of the knowledge, present and prior that is needed to become a better farmer for his district.

Only once has someone Ryne knew been selected for the reaping, and she died in the initial bloodbath. Not entirely remorseful, Ryne brushed this off. District 10 wasn't typically the strongest, but it was home. If he was to be called to the reaping, he would not run. Death is imminent, sure, but he would fight on. There is simply too much pride in the Chalmers bloodline to give up now.

Ryne, and his history, are a relative mystery. There is not much that is known of the boy except for his work ethic and good looks. Everything comes in bits and pieces with the youth, and even that is a mystery. The only thing known for sure is this:

A Chalmers never quits. They work hard, all in the name of keeping a decent living. If he was to be selected for reaping, he would take the challenge head on. It was in his nature to be morbid, it was in his nature to have fear, but it was also in his blood to fight.

And isn't that what this is all about?
