Name: Reo Daire

District: The Capitol

Age: Sixteen

Gender: Female

Weapon: Serrated Sword, Knife.

Personality: Reo is an eccentric, good-willed girl with an unmatchable determination in her mind. She is very adventurous, and at times, she seems incapable of turning down a challenge or dare. She is a bit of an extrovert as well; and often provides her peers with clever, humour-filled commentary. She's also a polite and courteous girl, albeit she does not mind getting down and dirty to help someone. She's compassionate to anyone that comes across her as a loving person, but does not appreciate it when people mention her flaws or try to criticize her. She thinks through her actions carefully and with caution, and never will she pick a great risk over her personal perseverance, as much as it bothers her to admit this. The only exception of this would be the overall spoils an action would deliver.

Backstory: I believe I told you this already, but since my memory has been quite lame lately, I'll put this here anyway. Her backstory is not done yet, although I do have a rough draft of it, which should be enough for you to work with for now:


 * She was born in an average family in the Capitol. Average parents, average house, average perfect Capitol life.


 * She enrolled in school at the age of four, and stayed there during the entire morning, which kept her away from home during a small fraction of the day.


 * One day, however, when she returned home, her parents where nowhere in sight. She didn't mind, as she knew her parents overworked sometimes, but late at night, someone knocked at the door. Reo eagerly opened the door, thinking that her parents were on the doorway, but she was horrified to see that peacekeepers had brought her father's body in.


 * Unable to proccess what was happening, Reo simply ran. She ran away, the wind blowing against her unkempt hair. However, once she came back to her senses, she walked back home, distraught. Her mother, who was now in the porch, then explained that her father was at a bar, drinking, when, under the influece of alcohol, he got into a fight with another man, who happened to pull out a knife and stab her father.


 * The man escaped and ran away, trying to live in one of the poorest regions of the Capitol, but he was found and shot dead by peacekeepers three days after the murder of Reo's father.


 * Reo was still traumatized, and from that days forward she was raised by her mother, whose pain was more than obvious. Watching her mother drink her sadness away and cry herself to sleep led to Reo being afraid to connect with others at the risk of eventually losing them.


 * Despite of her loner-like mindset, she met a boy at the age of fourteen. He would often tease her about her low-key, quiet behaviour, unaware that inside Reo's shell of timidity, was an unpredictable, adventurous girl that longed for someone to rely on.
 * The boy oftently comforted her about her father's death, and it was not long before Reo had a confidant. However, their relationship of companionship and trust soon evolved into love as he confessed his feelings to Reo, who accepted them.


 * However, her largest fear came true on her fifth Reaping: The boy was reaped. She had let her guard down, and now she was paying the price. However, her sadness soon turned into shock as her name was called, and she tripped up the stage to shake hands with her so-called District partner, the boy she loved.

Appearance: Reo is a beautiful, peculiar person who tends to have an impression on people. That to say, she stands out. She has not been changed or altered drastically, unlike many people from her home, but in spite of this, she does not, in any form, lack beauty. Her long, loosely-waved brown hair falls down in a cascade of soft curls all the way to the half of her arms. Her skin resembles porcelain in its alabaster-like shade, and she has petite, delicate features. Her eyes are dark brown; a slightly darker shade that resembles her hair. She has a rather plump nose, and her face is clear of any freckles, scars whatsoever. She has full, albeit slightly chapped lips, and she often coats them with a light pink lipstick. She is relatively curvaceous and has wide hips.

Strengths: Coordination, Healing, Aim.

Weaknesses: Swimming, Climbing, Nature Knowledge.

Fear(s): Reo fears that she will grow attached to someone, and eventually lose the person. While this has not happened to her in the past, it has happened to her mother, whose husband died in a bar fight. Reo, raised by her from an early age, understood what it meant to lose someone; by watching her mother suffer during her growth. For short, Reo does not fear companionship or trust itself, but rather. she longs for it. However, she is afraid that if she does open up to someone, she will end up losing them, which is why she has not connected with many people throughout the course of her life.

Other: "Reo" is a name derived from the greek word "oreo", that translates to gold, a reference to Reo's wealthy life. "Daire" is an Irish world that means wealth.

Name: Edrik Gold

District: The Capitol

Age: Seventeen

Gender: Male

Weapon: Sickle, Throwing Knives.

Personality: Edrik is an understanding, protective person. He is very capable of defending himself, although he does not approve of the use of violence against those that do not pose a threat, which is why he is against the Games themselves, and wishes that they could be abolished. Socially, Edrik is a bit of lone wolf, choosing to distant himself rather negotiate conversations with other people. He's a humble type of person, yet he prefers to be in the company of few people, a trait shared with his girlfriend. He is atypically cautious, and before even committing an action, he thinks about the benefits and consequences. He will never take an option that might possibly endanger him. He's decisive and witty; strategic as well. He may not be the brutal beast from District 2 or seductive tempter from District 1 or even the swift fox from District 4, but he does have a weapon even the Capitol can't take away from him: his independent mindset and protective behaviour.

Backstory:


 * Edrik was born to a loving family, that lived in an upper middle-class neighborhood on the outskirts of the Capitol.


 * Despite of this, his parents wished for their son to have a good education, so every day, Edrik took a train to one of the schools near the center of the Capitol.


 * There, he was mostly a wallflower. While he was not absolutely bland, he was not exceptionally peculiar as well, so not many people paid him attention.


 * He did not mind this, however, as he always preferred to be alone.


 * He lived an average life, and would often volunteer in daycares and hospitals in order to help people who were in need.


 * One day, while he was at school, he met a girl with a tragic past. Being very considerate and protective, he befriended her and would often cheer her up. At some point, he developed a crush on her, and confessed his feelings to her when he was fifteen.


 * At first, he was unaware that inside Reo's shell of timidity, was an unpredictable, adventurous girl that longed for someone to rely on. However, once he took note of this, he urged her to open up, which she did.
 * Edrik would often comfort her about her father's death, and it was not long before he became her confidant.


 * However, when he was seventeen, he was reaped. He bravely walked up the stage, trying to put on a strong demeanor, but he found himself in a world crumbling to pieces when Reo was reaped.

Appearance: Edrik is relatively muscular, and has slightly tanned skin. His hair is messy and unkempt, and his bangs cover his forehead. He has beautiful, sea-blue eyes and a warm look on his face. He has elegant, slightly thick eyebrows, and overall bold features.

Strengths: Physical Strength, Intelligence, Climbing.

Weaknesses: Speed, Stealth, Aim.

Fear(s): Iophobia; fear of death by poison.

Other: "Edrik" is a name that means "ruler". However, it can also mean "protective" or "bold", two storng characteristics of Edrik. His last name is a reference to the Capitol's wealth.
