Name: Caspian Rafter
Age: 16
Gender: Male
District/Area: District 4
Appearance:
Caspian is a bit shy on his looks, well what other people think of him that is. He becomes very uncomfortable when people stare at him, especial when girls do. He gets all self-conscious and clumsy, which doesn't help with his lankiness at the moment. He hit a growth spurt last summer and got really tall really fast, he looks a bit better now but still has a bit of the tall lanky look to him. He's about 6'0", very pale skin, not like white but almost a pinky pale and he burns like theres no tomorrow, if he isn't careful.
He has light freckles on his nose and cheeks, he has green blue eyes but he wishes that his eyes were blue like his brothers, girls seem to like them more then green eyes. He isn't really worried about that, thats just a side note. None of his siblings have green eyes nor his parents. Their hair is relatively the same, his oldest brother has blondish red hair, his two sisters have red hair and then theres him bronze colour hair with a hint of red. He keeps his hair short not really liking long hair on himself, his eyebrows are thin and matches his hair colour they fit with his round eyes and don't look too odd.
His build is a bit muscular from lifting some of the things in his father's shop. His shoulders are slightly broad but his lanky look still stays. He almost looks weird with his odd body type, he doesn't understand why his brother never had this happen. Yes he did get a bit of the lanky look but not as bad as Caspian, same with his father. His dad looked perfectly fine growing up, almost perfect. Caspian thinks often that god is out to get him sometimes, it just seems that everything that he doesn't want to happen happens.
Under his chin he has what looks to be a deep scar from an accident, the scar is healed but it is still noticeable if you are looking for it. He has another scar on his right side from another accident but this one is more recent then his other scar.
Caspian doesn't usually get to wear new cloths, he gets hand me downs. He doesn't care but he just wishes he could have something new for once or something a little more in his interest. Not that his brother has bad sense in style but sometimes it would be nice to call something your own. He usually wears normal shirts, mostly black,blues,and greens. He also has button up shirts or plaid shirts that he often wears. He wears lots of jeans and short trousers, mostly wearing the jeans in the winter and the trousers in the summer.
Personality:
He's the middle child, between his brother and twin sisters he's way off. It's hard, his siblings are so out going and fun to be around. They have all the friends and they're all happy, pretty much perfect. Which he isn't, he is the opposite to his siblings. He doesn't like what they like and they don't like what he likes, there all out going and he isn't, they have all the friends he doesn't. Now Caspian doesn't sit around and not try, he tries to fit in but it rarely works. Making friends is difficult for him, he just doesn't know what to say or do and when he does it just makes him seem more weird then he already is.
He isn't really a smiley kind of guy, he'll smile to people who come into the shop and smile around his mom and dad but they're not all real smiles. Most of the time they're fake or just weak ones, he smiles for real when he's off doing his own thing. I guess he's a loner and would prefer to be alone, he enjoys company but being alone just seems right for him. He loves to go to one of the small beaches in the evening to sit or look for shells and rocks. He collects the shells, cool looking ones. Now he isn't always alone, he has a few friends that he hangs around with but he can't always go see them.
He is shy and quiet rarely speaking, his parents thought something was wrong with there son but soon figured out that that was who he was. Caspian has a very kind soul, always trying to help people out and always tries to be there for his family. He isn't the angry kind of kid, yes he can get mad and hateful but that isn't apart of who he is. Caspian is a very fast thinker and loves to think outside of the box, he loves puzzles and all sorts of mind games.
You would never think but even though it isn't in his nature, Caspian can sound mean. With his fast thinking he can say some sarcastic and sometimes hurtful comebacks. His brother tells him that he will be punched for his big mouth but Caspian doesn't always get when his brother tells him that. He is quiet and would only say that if someone was bullying his sisters or him or just getting on his nerves. People don't get on his nerves easy but if they do they must be poking at him hard because its rare to see him get made at someone for teasing him. When he's out and about he usually lets people pick on him and he ignores, they mostly leave him alone after awhile but sometimes they go too far.
History:
"Well I guess I'll start off with the basics; I was born in the winter, my grandmother says that its the worst season to be born into and that springs the best and guess what? All my siblings were born in the spring, it doesn't really matter to me mostly because I don't really believe in all that stuff my grandmother tells me. I'm the odd ball of the family, my brother Jeremy says you could tell when I was a toddler. He's joking when he says this but I believe him in a way, I've always been the "odd" one you could say. I didn't start talking until I was 2, my parents thought there was something seriously wrong with me, my grandmother says I'm just a quiet person and she's right. My grandmother understands me the most, I feel I can tell her more then I can tell other people, she just gets me even though she can be mean."
"Jeremy's the one that all the girls stare at and giggle about how "cute" he is, he's the tall, strong, and handsome kind of guy and so was my dad. Me, when you look at me and then it's like what went wrong? Now I'm not ugly I just don't look like them and it makes me feel put out of place. I'm already out of place as it is so that doesn't help me at all.
My sisters are 13, they're twins which mean twice as much trouble. They're always causing trouble with their friends one way or another. You could say they're "popular" because I'm not."
"My father owns a small shop, we usually make nets for fishing but we have some other things in there. Like odd food that only your grandparents would eat, we don't have much food though sometimes we have pickles. Like barrels full, I love pickles and when they come in I'm always trying to get some. I get in trouble though, its odd. Dad doesn't get any other food except weird shit that I think is gross; except pickles. Anyway the shop is just a mix and match of different things, like if someones looking for nails, we have nails but no wood. I think theres whiskey but if its here, dads normally around to sell it. I'm the only sibling who really likes working in the shop, its nice cause I get to catch up on a good book or be left to me thoughts."
"My brother started teaching me how to fight after my first reaping, he usually trained himself and then started noticing if I got picked I probably didn't have a chance. Now I know I can make a pretty good net using things around me but nets can't always save your life. So he started training me you could say, I'm not the best but I know how to protect myself. I got the scar on my chin from my brother, he sliced me with a knife and I had to get a couple stitches. Mom went insane when she saw us coming to the back door with blood everywhere, she started yelling how if she knew we were this ruff I would of never been out there. A few days later he had me back out again. He teaches my sisters too but not with me I guess because I'd get hurt even more. They're rough and sometimes scary when they team up on you."
"I get bullied a lot at school and around the district, if my brothers not around they're at me like hawks. Last year I was closing up the shop, dad left early to go make dinner so he left me with closing up like usual. I lock the front door then go out the back and lock it from there. I then take a short cut home but that night I was stopped by 4 guys in my class, they never really liked me in the first place so I knew I wasn't leaving without something being taken from me or a good punch in the face. Long story short they got me down and one of them had a knife. I head butted my head with the guy that was on me and I guess that pissed him off because the next thing I knew there was a long cut on my side. Again I had to get more stitches. I hate it when my brother threatens the kids who bully me. I guess it just embarrasses me a bit but he threatened them and they left me alone since."
"I embarrass myself a lot around people, just stupid things that jerks think are funny. My brother got a kick out of it one night at dinner when we were all talking, well them I didn't say much. Dad asked me how was school and I said good, then he asked me in a teasing voice if I liked anyone. My face went three shades of red, almost as red as my sisters hair. Jeremy started laughing his ass off cause he had seen me staring at this girl a few times at school and ever since then he's been bugging me about it. My mom thought it was cute and Maisie and Paige (my sisters) are still bugging me to tell them who the girl is.
I still like this girl but I'd never tell, plus she wouldn't like me anyway. I'm not many "girls" type so I keep my distance from her and try not to make a fool out of myself."
"Nothing really big or anything has happened in my life, I've had it as normal as any kid. I don't break rules or do anything that might get me killed. So I guess its an ok life."
