Name: Brenden Ryder

Age: 18

District: 4

Gender: Male

Personality: He is usually very quiet and suspicious. But once you get to know him, he opens up, becomes very sweet and charming. If he cares about someone he will show undying loyalty. If he dislikes someone, all Hell is about to rain down upon them. Brenden is very Finnick like once he opens up, although that is often ever since the mayors daughter died. On an average day, Brenden is very kept to himself and is polite, but only speaks when spoken to.

Backstory: Brenden is your average Joe Blow Disterict 4 tribute.He has attended ACTC)(Advanced Career Training Camp) Since the age of 8, being the youngest ever. He was born into a very wealthy family. His father was the head Peacekeeper of District 4 and his mother a fisher. He wasn't meant to be born and his mother was killed after Brenden's birth for having sexual relations with a head Peacekeeper. His father was relocated to District 1 and Colton was placed in an orphanage. At the age of 7 he was adopted by the District Shipyard Captain and his family. He began going to ACTC with his adoptive sister and remained there to the age of 18. During that time he went through regular school, always being an outcast because of his birth parents and their situation. He was always disliked in elementary school and bullied by other kids, frequently getting fights with them. In middle school he was always alone and never did much outside of school and training. In his freshman year of high school he was frequently reminded of his birth parents mistakes by the way people treated him. He overcame that when he was 14 by saving the mayor's daughter from drowning. After that point everyone eased up to him, but he still kept to himself and his training. He became good friends with the mayor's daughter and began to fall in love with her. A year later when Brenden was 16, the girl was killed in a fire that erupted at the docks, collapsing the roof on her and breaking her neck. After that Brenden became very depressed and only talked when spoken to. He harbored an anger at the Capitol for taking away his father and killing his mother and overall became angry at the world for his circumstances. This only made him train harder and more aggressively, learning good killing techniques and swifter weapon movement. At thew age of 18, on reaping day, he shouted into the sky, "I volunteer," before the escort even had a chance to finish his dumb speech about the games. He is eager to prove the world that nothing can get in his way and that a few setbacks mean nothing to him.
