Name: Maluum Thandiwe / Jerome Quain

Age: 17

District: District 6

Gender: Male (He/him)

Personality: Maluum is a shy boy who has difficulty relating to other people, needing to establish a strong bond with others before he can establish a freer dialogue. He is visionary and has groundbreaking concepts in mind, features that have helped him stand out among other accounting workers in the Peacekeeper center where he worked at his father's behest. He is full of insights and very logical, and seeks understanding of the things around him. He is very critical of his work and of himself. Maluum is independent and determined, having matured earlier than other boys around him. At the same time, Maluum isn't brave and plucky as he wanted himself to be. For example, he had to rely on his adoptive mother to protect him from the abuses of his stepfather.

Backstory/History: Maluum is the result of a reckless night between President Mettius Quain and a lower class citizen of the Capitol named Abileya, who worked as one of the cooks in the President's mansion (Avoxes were a disaster at cooking since they don't have tongue to taste the food). Maluum feeds the dream of seeing his birth mother again, while Abileya doesn't give up on the whereabouts of her son Jerome, who has been missing for nearly thirteen years. In fact, Maluum and Jerome are the same person. At four, Jerome, the legitimate heir to the president of Panem, mysteriously disappeared. The boy was taken to play on the playground by an Avox who worked as his nanny, and never returned home. In fact, he was the victim of a kidnapping orchestrated by his own father and his personal assistant team. President Quain and his assistants want to prevent the boy from ever being entitled to the president's line of succession, as he was the result of a thoughtless act by the president. For the execution of the plan, the couple has the complicity of the Chief Peacekeeper of District 6, Arcadius Lemon. The four years old boy was taken to a small village in the suburbs of District 6. He was given a new identity as Maluum and raised as the legitimate son of Angelica, Arcadius's ex-wife who now was the wife of another peacemaker, Marcus Thandiwe. Angelica, although complicit in the kidnapping, has a good heart and does what she can to ensure the boy has a happy childhood. To accomplish this, she often comes into conflict with Marcus, who, after discovering that the boy has the ability to easily learn subjects such as mathematics and physics, begins to treat Maluum as a source of profit. Marcus transforms his stepson into an accounting worker at the Peacekeeper Center, becoming known as "the wonder kid of calculations." The moments of happiness in Maluum's life are provided by the memories of a better life and the love of his biological mother, which his adoptive parents try to make him believe that are just dreams or false memories invented by the boy. While Maluum keeps dreaming of reuniting with her biological mother, Angelica defends her son from the evil of his stepfather. She just wants Marcus to stop exploring the boy's talent. But everything gets even worse when her husband decides to take Maluum to the district's main train industry, realizing that he would make more money with the boy working down there. Angelica, in a desperate act, tries to prevent their departure and argues with her husband. Her heart can't stand stress, and she faints. Maluum arrives home and finds Angelica unconscious. Marcus, certain of his wife's death, packs his things to leave the district with the boy. Desperate, Maluum runs away from his stepfather, not before saying goodbye to his foster mother. Maluum, for about a year, lived on the streets of the district, earning money by freelancing around the District doing random jobs, such as babysitting the children of the richer families while they're at work. At the same time, he is constantly trying to evade the peacekeepers who recognize him as the son of the Peacemaker who killed his wife and husband. it's gone. He didn't have to hide much longer, as soon after he was chosen to join The Quain Games.

Primary Weapon: Whip

Alternate Weapon: Knife

Appearance:

Strengths: Maluum is a clever and efficent guy, achieving innovative ways to solve his problems. He is also very competent at what he does and learns fast what to do. In addition, he considers himself a very agile runner with decent physical strength, using this to escape from his tormentors at District 6.

Weaknesses: He doesn't have any experience with weapons at all, so he would probably pick a whip as his primary weapon because it would be the best for him to handle. Living his entire life in an urban environment, he always has no abilities of how to live in the wild, and lacks in skills such as tree climbing and knowing which plants/berries are edible or not. Besides that, he is a coward.

Sexuality: Bisexual

Fears: Ophidiophobia, fear of Snakes

Height: 6'0
