Myrick Johansson - District 6 [DONE]

Myrick is a large, strong guy. He towers over others at 6 feet tall and seems to be as solid as an anchor at 170 pounds. But from those statistics, you'd probably never guess that almost all of his weight is muscle. Yes, with the help of steroids and cinder blocks, he's gotten to be a much smaller version of a hairless gorilla. Myrick's face also conveys the level of his masculinity. His chin is cut in perfect lines and his jaw is set in a firm and locked position. His face and body are chiselled.

Unfortunately, his body is not totally perfect. Myrick isn't one to show off his pectorals or abs or sometimes even his shoulders because he'd like to hide something. He has a large burn mark on his back from when he was younger. It covers most of his back and makes the skin look pink, wrinkled, and ugly. Other than that scar, Myrick is a caucasian, sandy haired boy. He likes to keep his hair short, because it prevents him from getting too hot and he doesn't like it in his eyes.

Myrick has an extremely intricate personality. It seems to hang in the balance. A single sentence could tip it over and set him off. Myrick is the kind of person who needs to continually hear compliments and good things, especially when they're directed toward him. If he interprets something as offensive or rude, he will go off like a bomb. Punching and kicking and swearing. He likes to think he has control over himself and will tell people he does, but he certainly does not.

That's another thing about Myrick. He holds himself in high regards. He doesn't like to think that he is better than everyone else, but he gets jealous and upset when others outperform him, so he goes to great lengths to outdo them. This stems from his lack of a good childhood, and therefore, lack of attention growing up. Myrick will also only believe what he wants to believe, unless it is proven. If he wants to believe that a person is trustworthy, he will. That is, until they backstab or lie.

One quality that most people don't expect in Myrick is that he is brilliant. Obviously he is not to his full potential, but he has more street smarts than any person his age could ever hope to have. He is extremely skilled at planning, which is his strong suit by far. In the moment decisions are definitely not his best ones, but he makes up for that by being clever. As long as he has enough time to analyze, he has already outsmarted you. And analyzation comes as second nature when you live on the streets.

Myrick's history is not one that he is proud of. He likes to keep it under wraps. It started off when he was born. He was not planned, by any means, and neither parent was a responsible one. The father left when Myrick was only one month old, leaving Myrick's mother to care for him. She did not have a job and any money that she could scrounge up was spent on drugs. It was when Myrick was only nine that his mother abandoned him, never returning to their "home" one night. If you could actually call it a home. It was more like a hut.

For the next two years, Myrick bounced around to different houses, staying only for a month or two and then leaving to test himself on the streets. Within the week, Myrick would find himself in another home full of drugged up mechanics who could barely pay rent. Myrick ended up finally deciding he would never return to another house. He got himself a job at a mechanic's shop where he would help to build the cars and other small vehicles that they would then ship off to the Capitol. Myrick was able to earn enough to buy himself a small amount of food for dinner each night, but ate nothing else all day.

When Myrick wasn't working and eating, he was thinking. He would constantly plan out his meals and where he would sleep that night, how to avoid Peacekeepers and other criminals. He did not start actually working out until he was fifteen. By then, puberty gave him a nice boost, slapping on muscle mass so within seven or eight months Myrick was more muscular than the average teen his age. Myrick never did attend school. He didn't have enough time and he always needed to find ways to survive. His logic being that school would just get in the way.
