.:ll Hair ll:. Dark Brown
.:ll Eyes ll:. Hazel with light brown surrounding the pupil, deep green around the rim.
.:ll Skin ll:. Creamy
.:ll Weight ll:. 123 lbs.
.:ll Height ll:. 5'10"
.:ll Cosmetic Flaws ll:. Simple scars lacing her hands and fingers from working with lumber and an occasional cut or two. A big scar down her leg from an incident with an ax.

.:ll Personality ll:. Torin likes to put on a serious face in front of everybody she meets, and no matter how hard you try to please her she simply will not have any of it. She tries her best not to let anyone in because it will make her seem vulnerable, and to her that means she is setting herself up for her own doom.
A very rare side of Torin is the side that only family and close friends see every once in a while. Deep, deep, inside her is a kind and sweet girl who will laugh at anything you say. Though Torin never lets anyone she hasn't known her whole life see her so happy. Essentially, to her she thinks happiness and bliss are a weakness that does not need to be shown.
Someone who knew Torin would describe her as very stubborn and very competitive. She always likes to be the winner, doing everything she can to come out victorious in everything she competes in, no matter how big or small it is, including the Hunger Games. She is very determined to be the winner, and not to let anyone get in the way of that.



.:ll Primary Traits ll:.
~Stubbornness
~Kindness
~Being blocked off to everyone

.:ll Secondary Traits ll:.
~Blunt Honesty
~Stealth

.:ll History ll:.
Torin grew up in the lumber business, as it was for the citizens in District 7. Her father was a carpenter and her mother worked a few hours in a paper-making factor, but also spent a lot of time at home taking care of her four kids. Even though they were middle-class Torin's family struggled financially. They usually had enough money to get by, but just barely. There were some times when they would go one or two days with scarcely any food. Her youngest brother, Camden, was visiting the workplace of Ian's job as a lumberjack and he got into an accident. A tree fell and he didn't get out of the way fast enough, so it fell on top of him. The tree wasn't terribly large but did enough damage that Camden's right leg is forever crippled. He walks around with a home-made cane, dragging his useless leg around with him. He was depressed for a while but with help from the family became his usual spastic and joyful self. He never talks about his leg. When Torin was 14 she was grabbing an ax for her father and it slipped from her hands, slicing her left leg open. She has an ugly scar from that incident but it doesn't limit her movement anymore and she is fully functional. Due to the loom of the Hunger Games every year, Torin always goes out to the lush forest that surrounds District 7 and practices with many weapons including an ax, which is her most preferred weapon, a spear, and throwing knives. In her opinion, she is fully prepared to compete in the Hunger Games.



.:ll The Reaping ll:.
I blinked as they pricked my finger, pressing it down and forever holding my DNA. I was not worried as I stood in line, not worried as they herded us into our age groups. Why should I be? I had only 5 slips in the glass bowl out of hundreds. For 6 years there had always been someone else instead of me, for 6 years I had always watched another unlucky Tribute die in the arena, for 6 years the odds were in my favor. "Torin Grace Okrin." I looked up from the ground, looked up to see the many other kids my age, kids who I had known my whole life, who had not been chosen in my place, they were all looking at me. This year, it seemed, the odds were not in my favor. My last year, and then I would be free. Why now? A girl to my right touched my shoulder, sympathy in her eyes. I shook her off and walked silently, ever so silently up to the platform where my fate for the rest of my life was decided. I stared out at the crowd, squinting my eyes against the sun. The male tribute stepped up next to me and I glanced at him, puzzled. I didn't hear them call his name. Everything after that happened in a rush. They rushed me to a train, only 2 minutes to tell my family I loved them, only 2 minutes to say goodbye. As the train pulled away I looked out the window, watching my whole life grow smaller and smaller in the distance. Up ahead, the Hunger Games awaited.

.:ll Strengths ll:.
-Fighting
-Her mind
-Attitude

.:ll Weaknesses ll:.
-Her non-dominant arm
-Depression
-Attitude is also her weakness

.:ll Bloodbath Strategy ll:. Grab as many weapons and essentials as I can as fast as I can, not get killed, and if I must, kill a few suckers as I go.
.:ll Weapon ll:. An ax is her most favored weapon but she is skilled with many

Name: Jonah Zhang
Allias: N/A
Gender: Male
District: Three | 3 | Technology
Age: 18



Class: Upper class
Family Tree:
Mother: Rea Zhang
Father: John Zhang



Appearance:

(view spoiler)[

(hide spoiler)]

Hair: Black
Eyes: Soft, dark brown
Skin: Lightly tanned
Weight: 175
Height: 6, 0
Cosmetic Flaws: Can get acne from time to time.



Personality:
Primary Traits: Blunt, stubborn, rebellious
Secondary Traits: Caring, emotional, flirty

Jonah is a young man who has never been good at saying the right things. In most situations, he always seems to say something wrong and can't seem to do anything right. He is naturally blunt, which is probably why no one likes asking him for his opinion because he will not lie to make them feel better about themselves. But he is the guy to go to if one wants a straightforward answer. He has very blank facial expressions but is quite the opposite on the inside. He is actually a very emotional person, who can get jealous very easily and angered very quickly. He has a short fuse and will snap at people if he is offended or hurt. He gives off a cold vibe that seems unapproachable and usually scares people off. He can say some pretty mean things but that's just how he is. He is not a people person but that is only when he doesn't know you well enough to feel comfortable. Jonah can be a very rebellious and witty guy when around his friends. He is funny in his own blunt type of way and likes to take risks, sometimes. He can be quite the flirt if he wants to, though, but doesn't like to do so out of fear of committing to a relationship that he might not be good enough for. He is extremely caring deep down and tries to be the best Jonah he can be.

Jonah tends to distance himself from others out of fear that he'll bring them down with him when he makes mistakes. He doesn't always make the best decision and his anger can get the best of him. He doesn't say much but when he does, it's usually worth hearing.



History:

Jonah grew up in one of the wealthier families that were very envied by others. His father was a genius and worked in the top labs in District Three. He made good money as did his mother, who had inherited a watch company from her father. Zhang Watches were highly popular in the Capitol and were very sought after. Jonah grew up spoiled, which a lot of the kids hated him for. He hadn't known why they never liked him and called him a snob but he was always seen as the spoiled brat. He usually wore expensive clothes and his parents bought him everything he needed or wanted. He never knew anything other than happiness as a child. But that all changed after a visit to the doctors. They went to the doctor for a check up, who informed them that Jonah had Monochromatic vision. He only saw things in varying shades of gray. He explained this to his parents by saying that Jonah saw everything as those did when coloured television was not invented yet. His parents, being extremely intelligent and knowing more about the past then most, understood immediately. They nodded, sadness creeping up on them. Their son would never see colour, never enjoy the beautiful hues that everyone else did. He would never know how beautiful a sunset was, or the lovely green of the trees and grass around him. He would only know a blend of depressing grays and blacks. His parents brought him home and from that day on, colours were hardly discussed in their house.

As Jonah hit his teen years, his colourless vision began to trouble him more and more. He became depressed, frustrated that he didn't even know what the simple colour green looked like and he never would. It made him angry, mad at the world and every single person for they didn't know how lucky they had it. He hated everyone and everything, lashing out with unlawful actions. He had begun to steal from local stores, relishing how helpless people were when they lost things precious to them. How do you like it, huh? He would ask them in his mind. That's how it feels to realize you have lost something so precious that everyone takes it for granted. Jonah got caught on numerous occasions and was taken to the Peacekeepers, who locked him up for long periods of time as a punishment. He was a troubled teen, and was known throughout school for being reckless and rebellious. He would miss school for extended periods of time because he would have to serve time in the jail the Peacekeepers had in the town hall. Jonah was slowly falling into depression but there was one thing, one person, that kept him from falling deeply into the dark hole that was depression.

She could always make him smile. She could always make him happy to be alive just from the sight of her for he didn't need colours to see how beautiful she was. He had been in her class many years in a row and saw her struggle as a young girl. He saw her struggle with school but she was determined and a hard worker. She over came her obstacle and became probably the smartest person in their District. She was so smart and her sarcasm always made him smile to himself. He watched her from afar, never speaking to her out of fear that she would brush him off because everyone knew his unlawful acts and everyone knew about his vision for an incident in the first grade allowed the secret to be known. He was moved by her strength at over coming her obstacle that he himself thought that if she could, he could too. After that, he cleaned up his act. He stole no more and even began to embrace his colourless world. He matched his colours to the names used by everyone else and allowed himself to have his own colours. A pale gray was blue, a dark gray was green, a white was yellow, and the list went on. He over came his depression, finding a new happiness. He watched her thrive with her intelligence and stole glances at her during class but he never spoke to her, not until they were both Reaped. "Good luck," was what he had whispered to her as he shook her hand in front of their District.

I think you can only fall hopelessly in love once and I fell entirely, hopelessly in love with her.

Strengths:
-Is slightly skilled with a knife
-He is positive he will not make any real relationships with anyone so winning will be easy
-Witty and fairly intelligent

Weaknesses:
-Has monochromatic vision (Sees everything in varying shades of grey. Like a black and white movie.)
-Is in love with Has a crush on Alyssa and has the strong urge to protect her in the Arena
-Breaks easily under pressure



Bloodbath Strategy: Get weapons, supplies, try to avoid killing anyone unless necessary.
Weapon: Knives

"A colourless world for a heartless man" They say. A punishment done unto me. As if I chose to be this way.

Name: Amanda Isabelle Rambin
Allias: Mandy
Gender: Female
District: Ten
Age: 13

Class: Lower class
Family Tree:
Mother: Jacqueline Rambin- Deceased
Father: Alexander Rambin- No occupation
Sister: Jennifer Rambin- Deceased

Appearance:

Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Skin: Slightly tanned
Weight: 95 lbs
Height: 5' 1"
Cosmetic Flaws: A Still healing scar above her eye brow and thin scars on her back, limiting her movement.

Personality:
Amanda has grown to not trusting anyone which can help and hinder her in the games. She comes off as very shy because she's very anti-social and likes to keep to herself. She's made out of tough stuff and is very determined and head-strong. While she is pretty weak and malnourished, she has strong endurance and stamina, which she considers and advantage of having ADHD. She is very brash and rude if you actually do talk to her, and is constantly moving, covering up how broken she really is.

History:
Amanda was only seven when her mother and younger sister died in childbirth. And she was only seven when her father kicked her out of the house in grief. Instead of just laying down and dying, Amanda became a very resourceful seven year old, begging for food and shelter. Because of this, she has developed abandonment issues. She was ten when she got lucky enough to land an unofficial job in a slaughterhouse. Instead of paying her with money, they gave her a place to stay and enough food to get by. After being out on the streets for so long, and after inheriting her mother's horrible immune system, she became prone to many diseases which left her weak for weeks at a time. Thankfully, the butcher's wife was very kind and, not having a child of her own, often took care of her. Amanda found herself thinking of her as her surrogate mother and she was devastated when she died in a terrible accident. This caused her to close in on herself so she doesn't get attached to anyone.

Reaping
I knew they would find me. My knees banged along the uneven ground as the peacekeepers pulled ,e behind them so hard, I thought my arms would pop out of their sockets. Blood was gushing from the wound on my forehead, dripping into my eyes, and my head was pounding like no other. I knew I shouldn't have tried to skip the reaping. People turned to look as the peacekeepers dragged me onto the stage. I kept my my "deserved" lashes. I bit down on my tongue so hard I tasted blood, and my silent tears streamed down my face, but I didn't cry out once. Just when I thought I would explode into a million pieces, they pulled me into the crowd with the other 13 year olds and forced me to stand. Two girls on either side of me, subtly held me up and I was thankful because I felt like passing out right then and there. Just as I thought nothing could get any worse, I heard something that made my blood run cold. I was going into the Hunger Games.

Strengths:
-Nimble on her feet
-Very resourceful
-Always moving forwards

Weaknesses:
-Physically weak
-Gets sick easily
-Abandonment issues

Bloodbath Strategy:
Run like Hell

Weapon:
Butcher's knife/ any kind of knife
