Name ;; Barret Parryodon
Age ;; 18
District ;; District 12
Appearance ;;
Barret is about average in height, standing 5'8" he is usually looking down on others. He is well built, broad shoulders and it quite muscular, he has always been a big boy a strong one that is. He has long legs which makes him an great runner, his arms are strong and muscular making it easier to lift heavy things. His stomach his flat but isn't totally muscly like his arms, he has a 3 pack. His lips are fairly thin and he has a slight cleft chin, it isn't too noticeable but its there.
For his size he is very quiet, always walking in a silent manner, finding no point in clonking around like a wild animal. His hands are rough from working in the mines and his hands always need to be washed over and over again and he still can't get the black from out under his nails. His hair is a dark brown like most seam kids but there is a bit of blonde here and there, He keeps his hair at a short length finding long hair gets in the way with work.
His eyes are a greyish blue but even though the colours are pretty there seems to be a sad look in his eyes all the time. His skins a bit more pale then most people from the seams. His father was a merchant and his mother was from the seam giving him his pale skin and dark brown hair with a bit blonde, him and his younger brother look the same. Same hair, same eyes, same skin etc. He tries to shave as often as he can but when he's too busy he ends up with a slight stubble
His wardrobe consists of old cloths that aren't always clean, usually washing all of his and his brother cloths every Sunday sometimes not even that. His cloths are mostly greys, browns, black, normally neutral colours. He doesn't go too far out with bright colours, where would he get them in the first place? Trying to buy his brother better and nicer things usually leaving him with the old stuff but he doesn't care as long as his brothers happy. He wears jeans most of the time or old trousers which is rare considering there the only good pants in his closet, he just wears shirts or button up shirts but he only has a few of those and there the only good shirts he has too so he prefers to keep them from getting wrecked.
Personality ;;
Barret is not only quiet with his feet but isn't much of a talker ether, he was never much of a talker. His parents were worried when he was young because he didn't talk as much as the other kids did.
He is shy which is odd, you would never think of him as being the shy type but he is. He often has a sad look in his eyes even when he smiles its there, sometimes he's not even sure why he's sad but most of the time he's stressing himself out about life; when to get food on the table and if he should spend it on this, he has some anxiety about things; building up through the years with him stressing himself out so much. He doesn't sleep very well and even with the lack of sleep he puts a big smile on for his brother, hiding the tiredness and pain he's feeling.
He is a very polite boy always using kind words and never trying to disrespect people, always saying sorry when he does wrong and always trying to be a better person. Some people don't understand how he can still say thank you and please to people that treat him like trash, he tells them, he treats people the way he wants to be treated and he is aware that it doesn't always work but it couldn't hurt to try. He can be a bit flirty at times with girls, he tends to get shy but after a few moments of getting to know them he kind of opens up and is very chatty always trying to see the bright side even if he knows there isn't one. He isn't the bossy kind of guy, preferring to let others take over that role, plus he finds that not many people like the bossy sort of people. The only person he is usually bossy is his brother, telling him to do this and not do that, he's bossy for the boys safety. Ok he might go a little overboard at times but he's just making sure.
Barret isn't mean, he can be grumpy and raise his voice at times but he never becomes mean with people even when he gets hurt himself, he might think of being mean but he never gets the guts to actually be mean and say or do what he was thinking. He doesn't like older people telling him what he can and can not do, he has been living on his own since he was 13 and has been looking after himself and his brother just fine. He does't need someone telling him how to do his job, he often gets a little angry with the merchants when they make comments about him and his brother. It isn't because it bothers him what they said about him but it bothers him on what they said about his brother.
Barret is like a bear, tough and mean but soft and loving to those that he cares for.
History ;;
Barret grew up as a happy kid, his parents trying to hide as much as reality as possible from him but that would all end when he was twelve. Well it hit him when he turned elven, he new that a year from now he'd be in the reaping for the Hunger Games. He was almost angry at his parents for acting like nothing was wrong and everything was fine, even though they were from the seams they hid that from him too. Acting like they weren't struggling when they really were. Barret kind of made a wall between him an everyone else, he was like this until after his first reaping. The wall started to go down and he became more nicer and very quiet though, he built himself into something different in a good and bad way.
At thirteen his parent passed away, his mother had fallen ill and had past away quickly and right afterwords his selfish father left and killed himself without even thinking of his two sons. Their parents deaths forced Barret to step up and start looking after them both but an old friend of theirs would stay with them, he was just glad he only had to worry about the three of them and no one else. It was hard looking after his brother and the old lady that stayed with them let alone more.
At first he started stealing stuff from the merchants but one day he saw a kid getting whipped for the same thing and since then he hasn't done it but he will do it if they're in desperate need but only for his brother. He saves money for his brother who's name is Meldon, wanting his brother to have a fair amount of money when he's older so he can get along better then they are now. He knows the chances are slim of his brother having a better life but as long as his brother has cloths on his back and isn't starving Barret considers that a pretty good life not the best but good.
Barret ad to fake his age when he was 17 after the old woman paced away there was no "parent" to look after them, so he said he was 18 when and if people ever asked him and now that he is 18 it really isn't a big problem anymore.
Barret is a very smart guy, he believes he got stuck in the wrong district really. He is really good with mechanics, even though there aren't that many in their district, he can still find a few things but not many.
In the mines he usually likes helping with the lifts when they brake, he rather do that for the whole day then go digging for freaking coal. He would never admit it but he does have a fear of the mine collapsing and him never getting out, his fear isn't just for him but his brother. What will happen to Meldon if he never came back home? That thought always sits in the back of his mind making him stress himself out over nothing.
His brother teases him about getting out more and "meeting" people but Barret always asks, "Who's there to meet?" his brother always shrugs and smirks. "Girls." Barret says he doesn't have time for girls, he didn't need another mouth to feet and plus most of the seam girls aren't so...faithful you could say. He normally just stays away from girls, keeping his distance. He's still really nice to them he just doesn't want to get enveloped.
