Mark Pond [D7M] DONE

Mark's hair has the blackness as the ravens black feathers but yet curly as the innocence itself. He has facial hair, not perfect facial hair though because it's not that simple to keep it perfect when you live in district 7. It's not the fanciest dristict I will assure you. Mark's nose is quite big but it doesn't really bother him because there is much more problem out there in the world than a big stupid nose. His height is around 6.1 and weighs 188lbs. He has gotten quite the muscular body type while growing up in district 7 of all the hard work with chopping down trees and such. He has big clumpsy hands which is pretty good actually, it makes a good strong grip around his axe while he's chopping and chopping and chopping. It can be thanks to all the chopping why they are so big or maybe just the genes from his parents. Also he is somewhat tanned for working in the sun all day, but sometimes the trees are protecting his bare skin from the sun above. Mark is not a very fast runner but he gains in strength instead. He has also very good hearing, so if someone approaches him from quite far distance, he will know. But that is only if he is alone in example the woods. He can't exactly know that in a big crowd.

He prefers to wear a white shirt with black jeans. He always wear the same shoes which are big gray-black boots which are very good and effective while walking in the woods or when it's raining. When it's cold outside he usually puts on his black coat, which is the only coat or jacket that he owns. Underneath the coat he also puts on a sweatshirt to keep himself extra warm. It's often the brown sweatshirt which his mother gave him when he turned 18. It was to big then but now it fits perfectly.

This guy is often quiet and keeps to himself at some times and has also a very short temper, which means he gets easily mad, very quick. He works best on his own, when he gets to think in silence without someone standing beside him babbles about annoying stuff. So if he were to be a tribute to the hunger games, he would probably avoid being in a group. Mark is quite dumb though because it's better if you make allys in the hunger games but he'd rather not and that's a super smart idea according to him. That's not the only reason why he's so dumb, he's also not that smart in general. He always picks the dark and dangerous path instead of the sunny if you get my point.

Now it seems I just picked up his flaws, but he can also be a good guy. If you get to know him you then see he is sweet, sensetive, yeah you get the drill, like almost everyone. He seems tough on the outside but a wee baby on the inside. He doesn't often lets out the nice guy inside but sometimes he does. Maybe he's not always that dumb as he seems, he can plan strategies, what to do next and where to go. He knows his way around trees that's for sure. He can climb really good and he know almost everything about the trees, you'd be surprised!

One thing to keep in mind is what really makes him happy, maybe the only time he really smiles is when he is close to his dog Chaggy. He really loves that dog. He'll will always find the time to go outside and play with him, but that's pretty impossible because of all the work. But in other words, he has a big heart for his dog, so if he were to be in The hunger games, Chaggy and his parents would we the ones keeping him alive.

District 7 has always been his home, his family had lived here for generations. Both of his parents were alive but they were quite old to be parents. People often mistaken Mark to be their grandson. They live a little further off from the center of the district so they werent the most sociable family but most people knew who they were. Mark loves his parents but sometimes hates them too, but the most children did so it wasn't anything strange about that part. His mom often spent her time at the factory as a paper-maker because that was known as the womens or childrens job. When she wasn't working she was spending her time in the garden. His dad for that matter did not work because he was too old and too sick. Before all that he worked as a load puller.

Mark had started working when he was 7. The work in their district was to work with lumber. Chopping trees, making paper and all sorts of things. At first he worked in the factory but later on when he grew and became of age he started to work with the real men in the woods chopping big ol' trees. Lumberjack the job was called. He has worked every day since he started working. It at least got him and his family food on the table. Mark liked his job actually because the men there always told him stories from long before their time and of the other districts. Their job were a lot easier than other districts jobs and Mark was glad for that. He only talked to boys at work but not on their spare time. Mark oftens trains with axes to prepare for the hunger games if he were to be a tribute. He would not die this early in age.

His family also has a dog and a cat as pets. The dog was a stray and he went through a lot of trouble to keep him. Well, I wouldn't say that the cat was theirs because it just comes to their home now and then to get some food or to sleep on Marks lap. The dog however follows Mark around everywhere he goes, except for work because there is no pets around them because it can "distract" the workers or they could get hurt. A stupid rule really.
