Name: Hunter Rhodes

Gender: Male

Age: 17

District: 10

Appearance (be detailed): Hunter is an average sized, muscular man with lightly tanned skin. He has chopped jet black hair, arctic blue eyes, 5'10, 140 pounds.

Personality (be detailed): Hunter is a strange guy, that's for sure. His friendly nature means he will not purposely seek to harm others, and he is able to make serious characters join in with his fun. Really, he's a huge sweetheart, and a bit of a dork. He's extremely protective of those close to him, and he'd throw himself in front of a bus if it meant saving them. He's a little clingy to people, so he really tries hard to keep the relationships he has. He also is against the idea of needless bloodshed, even if honor is involved and so far seems to only step up for a fight when a friend is in danger. He also likes teasing people. Despite being calm and brave most of the time, he has displayed a side of him that likes to panic when things go wrong.

Family/Friends: Both of his parents are dead.

(He considered his rebel friends his family.) Adeline "Addie" Hanran; 15, hazel eyes, a fair complexion, and curly red hair in a mid-length braid. When Hunter's parents died (this was nine months later.) he began to steal from others and seeing the child of the latest victor (her father had won the games 9 years ago.), he immediately ran over to her and knocked her down. He tripped and knocked himself down with her. The two immediately began to yell threats (hers was she was going to tell the Peacekeepers, while his was he would cut her hair.) After about ten minutes of that the two smiled and began to laugh: becoming friends quickly. Due to Hunter's bravery, selflessness and kind heart, Addie has developed a crush on him. Addie is very straight forward once you get know her. She is cunning and loves to climb to really high places. She is softspoken until she can trust you and tends to cling to her friends.

Jesse "Jay" Tanner: Jesse is an average sized, muscular man with lightly tanned skin. He has chopped dusty blonde hair, hazel eyes, 5'9, 104 pounds. Hunter and Jesse have been since Jesse requited them (or rather Addie, due to him actually just wanting to figure out a way to talk to her.). After a few years of them hanging around, the two began to be close friends. Close enough for Jesse to tell Hunter that he has a crush on Addie, which turned it into's Hunter's life long goal to tease the two about it. (Not enough to tell Addie about his crush, but enough for Jesse to be usually jealous about him being overly close to Addie.) Jesse is an outgoing, laughable type of guy who has perverted tendencies and is usually the life of the party.

History: Before Hunter was six his family owned a huge ranch that most of the District Ten workers worked at. A few weeks after his mother fell ill, his family soon had to fire a large percent of the workers and then a month later went bankrupt. Due to that his mother finally died, (the healers quit treating her, after they couldn't pay.) making his father try and protect his son, but soon accidentally was killed by trying to steal a bag of food. The Peacekeepers then took seven year old Hunter to the orphanage. Three days later he escaped and began to steal and scam other people to get food and money. Soon after, he met Addie who began to become his only friend for awhile (and also the only reason he didn't starve.) He and she began to try and protect each-others (him by beating up anyone who even tried to touch a hair on her head. And she by giving him food and water.) Afr a year of this, Jesse Tanner, confronted them about joining a group of rebels, (though it was Jesse's way of trying to talk to Addie.), and when he successfully managed to him and them began to become close friends. When Hunter was 16 he was caught concealing a weapon (a small knife that Hunter had found the day earlier.), and was whipped for that. While Addie had never been whipped, she didn't want her best friend getting whipped and offered the Peacekeepers in exchange for him being whipped she'd take the whipping for him. While Addie was whipped, Hunter was forced to watch as his 'angel' was whipped. The two tried to protect eachother's more, even Jesse who hadn't been as close as them, tried to protect them also.

Volunteered or Reaped? (include reason or reaction): Reaped. "Hunter Rhodes!" He felt as if he had been punched in the gut and almost doubled over with the shock. He wished that he could just stay in the spot and let the Peacekeepers think he was dead. But a gentle push made Hunter step forward and exposed the boys place. The Peacekeepers grabbed the boy's arm and dragged him on the stage. He had to be strong. His angel was watching, and he had to be strong and not let her worry. Giving her a weak smile, he pushed his arms away from the men and walked to the stage, confidently. He wouldn't let anyone see him scared.

Strengths: Signs of his great physical potential were already evident at his early childhood, where he was able to beat local people who spoke ill of his angel (Possibly due to her being the victors child.)"half to death", and also could work in his families farm at a young age. Hunter could also withstand the pain without screaming (though that was because he was passing out and had to energy left to scream. And that he had 14 whips before Addie took the whipping.) Hunter also can use weapons well, but is usually too afraid to use many of them. He is also protective of his friends, (i.e. Addie and Jesse.), meaning he'd kill anyone and everyone who tried to hurt them. He is also very sneaky, which was shown in his childhood of stealing.

Weaknesses: (Not sure if this is a weakness.) Hunter can't let anything go to waist, which usually means he is a hoarder, keeping little things such as: old rags, small bottles, etc.. Due to him living on the streets from a young age, he has a small to no education, meaning that he can't read much nor do math that isn't adding, or subtratcting. He is sometimes overly protective. Hunter has one obvious weakness: his complete lack of orientation. He often demonstrates that he can easily get lost everywhere and always walks in the wrong direction. He even sometimes walks the wrong way when having his target in plain sight, looking for shortcuts.

Weapon of choice: He'd rather avoid using a weaping or fighting in general, but he can use pocketknives to butcher knives.

Strategy: He's going to try and do the games by himself, (he doesn't want to even get close to his ally.) and try to hide from the others by climbing trees and possibly killing anyone who get's near him. He'd probably try to remember that his 'younger siblings' need protecting, and he needs to be with them to do that.
