I am using your template but switching the order of stuff so that it will be less confusing *:P Name: Ezrael Donn

Age: 17

Gender: Male

District: 10

Backstory: Ezrael is the only son of the beautiful Lillian Mors and Mortimer Donn. Mortimer had been an undertaker ever since he finished school. An undertaker a person who collects and if needed identify corpses, and then prepare them for funerals, making them look pretty so that they may be ready for cremation or burial. Mortimer were doing his job in one of the bigger cities of District 9, where visitors were rather common. When Lillian met Mortimer at a scarce outdoor dinner place, they quickly fell in talk. Lillian was a just naive young woman, wanting to know about world, wanting to listen to stories. And Mortimer, who longed for some company had many stories to tell. He never did tell her about him being an undertaker. He left that little detail out, easily, told her he works for the government, that that was why he was in town. They became drunk on the cheap wheat beer sold in that warm summer season and later in the night, they ended up having a brief affair. Mortimer was forced to leave only days after though, called to a new town, to prepare new dead bodies. Making up a quick lie about how he would much rather stay with Lilian, but the government was forcing him to go to another district, he dissappeared.

Nine months later Lilian had a son with coal black hair as his father. She named the son Ezrael and she loved him deeply. Ezrael was a happy child. Slightly shy and a bit of an oddball but he made a small little group of friends. His odd habits would include him often mummering non-sense. Lillian would often call him "The Storyteller" because of his vivid imagination. Now one would believe that because Ezrael only had his mother, that he would miss a father figure. But he didn't. Lillian carried enough love for Ezrael to make up for two parents, and would often tell him many stories (often made up stories) about Ezrael's fahter and his important work and what he had experined, passing on the stories told to her that summer night. To Ezrael, his father was a brave hero, a person straight out of a myth. He never actually missed him.

Lillian, being a single mother wasn't exactly the wealthiest woman in 9, so when he reached the age of 10, he would often he would work in his sparetime, harvesting grain using sickles and scythes. He was quick to learn and well-loved by the staff for his shy but friendly personality. They became like a second parent to him.

But Ezrael's happy life did not last forever. When Ezrael was a mere 14 years of age, and was out working in the fields, the appartment below Lillian's caught on fire, do to a neglected fireside within the house. The fire spread quickly, and the smoke coming up through the wooden boards was too late to warn her. She made it out of the building but died in the streets of smoking poisioning while the firefighters had yet to arrive.

Ezrael's life changed drastically after that. It changed so quickly, he barely had time to feel actual grief. The authorities quickly looked up the deceased people they learned that Lillian Mors' had a son and that the father of that son was alive and though his proffession required him to travel around, Mortimer was capable to take care of a child. Mortimer had in those 14 years moved to District 10 because of his work. The goverment of District 9 saw this as an easy oppertunety to hinder yet another child from ending up in the overfilled orphanages, and so, they send Ezrael off with the next train to District 10 to be re-united with his father.

Ezrael could barely solve his emotions. He grief over his mother yet was filled with happiness to see his father, even after finding out about his job as an undertaker. Because of Mortimer's job requiring him to travel around, Ezrael travelled with him too. Mortimer couldn't keep Ezrael in school because of the constant travelling, yet didn't want to doom him to a live where he could get no job because his underfinished education. So instead, Mortimer took Ezrael as his apprentice. He learned him how to look at corpses, to observe for every single just slightly irregular thing, to try and determine the course of death. He taught him how to stitch up corpse's open mouths so that the thread was unseeable, he taught him how to slid in fake eye-lifters, lifting the lit above incase the actual eyeball had rottened away.

This was a new life for Ezrael - a lonely life. People were no longer welcoming and "adoring his oddball, shy personality". They would often blame Ezrael and his father on the death of their loved ones. He could see the sadness in their faces as he arrived to the griefing families. Ezrael became introverted and silent, closing himself off to people. Whenever he would try and talk to people, they would stray away. Kids at his own age would even bully and harass him, calling him various swears, making vampire and grim reaper references. Ezrael was no longer the kid he had once been. He always wished it different though - deep inside he wanted to be a normal kid, to stay in one town, have a normal spare time job, have friends and girlfriends... but non of that was possible. Not when you're nothing but fleshly grim reaper to the people around you.

For those 4 years, he worked with his father, while going through the struggles of his new life... but then, as if fate hadn't been done playing with him already, he was reaped into The Hunger Games at the age of 17. Personality: When many meets Ezrael, they would call him "anti-social". But that is actually not true. Ezrael does like social company, yet has been denied it for so long, making him introverted. He feels better alone, safer. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want company, a part of him often feels lonely. Ezrael is used to most people only approaching him with ill intentions in mind, and has because of that become quite hostile, toward every stranger, biting at people who approach him, even if they approach him with a friendly attitude. It's quite easy for him to wear off strangers. His tallness and eyes makes him quite threatening. Though if you have the courage to approach him more than ones, you'll learn he's actually quite good company. He's distrustful to strangers, but tends to have a good judge of character once he speaks to an individual for more than one time. His trust usually isn't misplaced... usually. He does however have a bit of creepy trait. Ezrael has with the influence of his father growned passionated about what he does. Not that he likes when people dies, he's sad that people has to go through grief, yet a certain part of him is proud to be an undertaker. He's not afraid to admit what he is, though he doesn't say it out directly for the people around him's sake. Ezrael has grown fast. He more mature than most 17 year olds and considerably more wise than your avarage young person. Yet sometimes the shy 14-year-old he once were shows themselves in him, often when he's around girls (well... the very few girls who wasn't scared away by his hostility and actually did not mind talking to an undertaker). His imagination is still there too, though because his proffession influence, it has gotten a lot more bizarre and death-related. He almost always keep his expression emotionless, though he would smile in company with friends (had he had any...). To people who does know what he is, has heard him, he's usually described as either "A creepy freak" or "A scary reaper". Most people who does not know a thing about him would say he was more "mysterious" than anything.

Appearance: Ezrael has somewhat long black hair that falls messy down his face, often shading his forehead and making his eyes unclear to the avarage viewer of him. For his age, he stands quite tall, reaching 6'3 feet. Ezrael is quite satisfied with his height, being able to tower over most of people and downstare them, if he gets into an arguement. His eyes are of a darkish, grey, smoke-like color. His skin is rather pale, as he does not spend much time outside. A trade which Ezrael is not very proud of is his body weight, as he's quite skinny even though he doesn't starve regularly like most of the other population. His body just isn't made to get heavy. However, usually his height still can make him look quite threatening. Because of his proffession, he mostly wears black.

Weapon: Being in Ezrael's profession is not always a safe job. Sometimes, collecting a body can be dangerous, because if the person died of "unnatrual courses" some people may benefit if the body is never found. Even though these cases were rare, because of safety reason, people of the proffession were asked to learn how to handle at least one weapon and Ezrael followed that. The first weapon he got his hands on was -ironically enough- a scythe. Back when he still lived in District 9 and knew nothing of his father's proffession, he would work in the fields. Being the youth-worker that he was, expensive harvesting technology weren't wasted on a young body such as Ezrael's. So instead he used a scythe and became quite adempt using it. When he became his father's apprentice, he continiued using the scythe as his main weapon, being that he already was quite talented with one. Another weapon of his were sickles, another tool he used back in District 9, which he continiued to use when he arrived in 10. He has gotten quite alright skills in throwing these curved blades, as having a long-range weapon makes him feel safer, and he prefers using scythes over sickles in close combats.

Strengths: The most out-standing talent that Ezrael has is to not be noticed. It was prefered this way, you could almost call it a "customer service". When people come to request your services at handling bodies, they're grieving. You learn not to make a sound not when you talk nor when you walk. This has made Ezrael very '''stealthy. '''His stealthy talents has also been of great outside his job. Most people despise the corpse handlers. After all, they're like a living grim reaper of flesh. They arrive to your village when someone has died. Ezrael quickly learned that not calling attention to yourself, when you are residing in a village for a few days is a great talent to have. Another talent of Ezrael is his agility. Despite his tall body, he manages to move very smoothly, because of all the time he has spend praticing unnoticed movement and though his body is not meant for great muscel mass, his tall, skinny body is perfect for quick agile movements.

Weaknesses: Ezrael is, despite being tall not a very strong person. Where his height gives him some strengths (not much though...), his skinny body is not your exact definition of a "strong guy". So where he may have a bit of strengths from his height, he's very easy prey in a '''hand to hand combat. Ezrael has never had the chance to learn to learn the art of swimming,'''  and would mostlikely die trying. Finally, Ezrael isn't "antisocial". He can get into an alliance he's not afraid of people rather... he's a bit unsure of how to act around them. Sometimes, he might even unintentionall act slightly hostile toward them, because that was the way he would socialize with people around his age ever since he moved away from 9.

Fear(s): Ezrael does not fear many things. When you are used to having corpses around you, this is normal. You see so many reasons of death, so much grief. It's hard not to become slightly coldhearted when it comes to fear. One fear he does suffer from is '''claustrophobia. '''Why? Well as a "undertaker", a corpse-handler, you don't grow very popular with the kids around your age. Not only are you the new kid - you're the new kid who arrives because someone has died - somehow, most of the children and even some of the adults in the smaller villages blamed Ezrael for the deaths of their loved ones, as a way to cope with their grieve. Ezrael is now good at not getting noticed, at staying away from most company. Yet other than the occasional vampire references that people would yell at him when they did get the chance, he got a lot of threats about how they think that Ezrael should be the person to get locked up in a coffin. Ezrael would put on a an expressionless face, pretending he wasn't affected by the comments... but his nightmares was. Often he would dream of being burried alive, thus giving himself claustrophobia and t aphephobia .
