Luke Collins D7 | Finished

Luke has natural brown hair like the stem of a tree and is not so wavy yet not so straightened at the same time. The locks at the top of his forehead are all pointy, resembling a horn or something similar to it. He also has small, short and sniff facial hair on his cheeks in a short stubble style, mostly because he didn’t like shaving that much. He is said to be good-looking, through elegantly, with his eyes in the color of the surface of the ocean—deep coral blue. As for his upper body, he has a well-fit physique due to working in District 7 as a load puller and a lumber. His whole body is in a tanned complexion as he is seen mostly outside in the sun. Beginning from his arms to his abdomen, is full of strong muscles which only increased his level of attractiveness. He could lift an object that is about 90 pounds. His palms are also slightly harsh due to wielding axes and other weapons—which were necessary tools for his occupation.

He has little fashion sense so his clothing is usually plain with no accessories or whatsoever. Muscle sleeveless shirts with solid colors and no designs are his favorite things to wear. He wears shoes with hard covers despite the colorful sneakers and chooses normal jeans over more complex clothing. As for scars, he has a few. The first one is on his left wrist which occurred because he attempted to wield a knife with no understanding of it. The second one is seen on his left thing due to a lumberjack accidentally swinging his axe in his direction. He loves the scars on his body, making them as a reminder that he was not perfect or flawless like everybody else. The only birthmark he has is a scar-looking one on the back of his neck.

Luke is a stern young male with a moderate sense of humor. He also has a strong sense of honor and justice, accompanied with compassion. But, he also had a few flaws which includes being extremely confident in himself and trusting people easily. His mind is a complex mess, changing every single second based on the decisions he made. He is dutiful and just, willing to make the right decisions all the time, and sacrifices if it comes down to it. Though he can be, at times, vindictive, he is cruel only to protect those he loves. For his family and people, Luke is willing to go to extreme lengths, often recklessly, putting himself in danger, thus usually leaving the people who care for him extremely worried and exasperated.


He is a very shifty person. In some times, he will think things carelessly and without any rush. But, on the other hand, in certain situation, he makes reckless decisions with no proper judgment. It casually happens when his mind is raced with thoughts or he is being distracted. He begins to get clouded with thoughts and does the first thing that comes to his mind. His level of sociability is normal as he has an average circle of friends who are people he usually meets in his work. As a person who began working since young, he is a workaholic. He seems to enjoy doing hard work more than lounging around. It seems to be family trait as his parents were also similar to him. His entire family has enough money for an average, fine meal but they proceeded to work hard, earning a lot of savings and money.


Depending on others is not his style but making others depend on him is one. He attempts his best to be seen as a dependable person in life. His compassion combined with his sociability skills allow him to easily make friends but he doesn’t do it often. His average circle of his family had enough people that he could make to depend on him—mostly in work and such. This made him happy and such. He handles unexpected things with care and calmness, mostly telling him that the situation is okay but sometimes, he fails to do so which causes him to panic. He is not a very quick person to anger but he usually holds grudges for something that a person did and will hate them forever for that one thing.

A baby came out of the womb of a woman named Lydia Collins, wife of Bark Collins in a hospital building of District 7 on a sunny day—13th February 1999. The infant was loved by the two hard-working couple, mostly because he was their only child and also by his grandfather—Mush Collins. Days later, his parents entered their strict work schedules again and he didn’t spent much time with them. He was looked after by his grandfather, who loved him dearly. He was the first to witness the baby’s first blinks, first steps and first words. The leaves from the forests of District 7 shattered and regrown from time to time as the baby grew up into a young boy. He had entered elementary school at the age of 7 and had no problem with the studies or had a lack of lunch money. His parents worked extremely hard, earning enough money to keep the whole family full.



After his school times, his grandfather would take him on short trips to the forests. Although Mush Collins was a retired worker, he still kept his lumbering tools which included an axe. Mush was very good with making things from wood and this led him in making small bows for his grandson. Luke would play with axes, bow and arrows made from wood under the supervision of his grandfather. Although he made him these, Mush didn’t have any good skills to wield the weapons. But, he did show him how to wield an axe greatly—how to throw it or how to swing it. Luke learnt only a few things about bows and how to handle these weapons all by himself, it wasn’t much but he did learn the way of a bow and arrow by shooting at tree stems. These trips also inspired him to be a lumberjack. He would constantly switch from being a lumberjack to a load puller and then be a lumberjack for another time. His first work started when he was at the age of 15.



He also attended many reaping events, hoping his name to not be picked. But, his shifty thoughts sometimes leads to bad decisions after combining with his high level of confidence, putting thoughts about volunteering for other tributes so that he could have a chance of participating in the Games. His thoughts were demolished when his grandfather passed away and the duty to look after his family came upon his shoulders. His parents were unable to work as much as when they were younger as they became older. Family became his first priority and he became to work harder than normal while attending school at the same time.
