Noble Morgan - District 6 - WIP

Noble stands at 6'2", weighing 160 pounds. His entire body is fairly muscular, stemming from his athletic nature. His skin is on the pale side, with more of a yellowish than a pinkish hue. He has long, straight black hair which comes down just below his shoulderblades, which he keeps in a ponytail simply for practicality's sake. His eyes are narrow, and their color is a piercing pale blue. His nose is crooked, a result of a fight he got into just last year at the age of 16. His eyebrows are strong and have a natural downward tilt, making him look constantly angry or irritated. He has thin lips and the corners of his mouth similarly tilt downward, adding to the bad mood his look seems to communicate. He has mixed feelings about this; in a way, it irritates him, because some people occasionally ask him what's wrong, forcing him to explain that nothing's wrong and that that's just his face (which they don't always believe), but at the same time, he appreciates it, due to its tendency to drive more people than that away from socializing with him. He has a strong jaw and high cheekbones. His hands and feet look a bit too large for their respective limbs, which is a little awkward looking.

His usual outfit is simply a long-sleeved, plain black shirt, and black jeans with tennis shoes. He always wears something dark and unlikely to be in any way eye-catching, primarily because he doesn't like people staring at him, which he's convinced they do anyway, whether it's true or not. On the rare occasion that he wears his hair down, it's usually for some sort of formal event. He shaves pretty much everywhere, because in his mind, the extra hair makes him look barbaric and animalistic, and of course, he's far too civilized for that. Though he won't admit it, he allows the hair on his head to grow so long in order to distinguish himself from his parents, both of whom keep their hair rather short; if asked, his explanation will be that he simply likes it that way, which is not entirely untrue.

Noble is by no means shy, but he is what one would consider antisocial. His attitude toward people in general is very negative; he considers them all to be beneath himself, and essentially a waste of his time (particularly when they try to make small talk, he hates small talk). Once his peers started rejecting him as a potential friend, it damaged his view of humanity as a whole. The only real exception is his mother, who he doesn't particularly like that much, but for whom he holds some some amount of respect and gratitude. In fact, he would consider placing trust in someone and forming emotional bonds with them to be putting oneself at unnecessary risk. This viewpoint was largely influenced by watching his parents' relationship fall apart; they put trust and love into one another, and ended up suffering for years for it. Of course, aside from all of that, he's not very good at interacting with people anyway. Part of the reason he hates small talk is because he's no good at it, and no matter what the conversation is about, he has a habit of being rude to people, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. The only time he really cares about anyone's thoughts but his own is when he's reading, as he's a serious bookworm, and spends a very good deal of his free time with his nose in a book, usually something nonfiction, although he's been known to dabble in more fantastical tales every once in a while.

Other than that, however, the only thing that matters to him is him. He considers himself to be well above the rest of society in pretty much every way imaginable. The only worth he sees them having is as stepping stones to his own personal success. Obviously, this makes him pretty untrustworthy; if he sees a personal benefit in telling everyone that secret you confided in him with, he'll probably do it. If he notices that the alliance he formed with you in the Games is no longer beneficial to him, don't be surprised if you find a weapon in your back. His name seems to be complete irony. He's ambitious and stubborn, and will never stop trying to get to the top, even when the odds are completely stacked against him. It's very difficult to get him to change his mind about something once it's made up, and he'll never go down in any sort of circumstance without a fight. He has always felt he has something to prove and he'll stop at nothing to prove it, whatever it is.

One of the most immediately noticable things about Noble is his bad temper; it's not just because of his facial features that he always looks angry. He very often is. It's anger that's been building up inside him for many years, and it doesn't take terribly much for him to direct it at someone. However, these snaps are almost always verbal, not physical; he's only ever gotten into one real fight, the fight that resulted in his now crooked nose. As much as he would like to go around punching people in the face, he knows better than that, and practices some amount of self-restraint. Part of the reason that this is possible is his athleticism; when he gets particularly stressed or angry, he'll often go for a run out in the district, or retreat to his room to do push-ups or sit-ups, resulting in his physique, which stands out from the normal body type one expects to see in a boy his age from District 6.
