District 4

Gender: Male

Name: Ben Fisher

Age: 17 years old.

Appearance: Reddish brown hair and sweeps across his forehead just above his eyes. He has ocean blue eyes that people say can tell the story of the world. 5 foot 11 inches. Muscular. Really handsome. He looks a lot like Finnick except for his eyes.

Personality: Kind, funny, and trustworthy to all he knows. He is sometimes very quiet. At home he is known to be a person people can confide in. He is an avid writer at home too. He really is a decent guy. He is a person who is not the smartest at tests, but the smartest at life.

Strategy: Join with someone he knows he can trust. Stay away from careers. He will not join with the Careers, because he is a loving person and doesn't want to kill for sport. Will keep his head on straight, by this I mean he won't become a psycho killer. Grab only necessities from Cornucopia (If there is a Cornucopia) along with a trident, or if he can't find a trident, a sword. He will really try not to kill, and will only when necessary. If he had to kill someone he would probably cry and get away from the spot as fast as he could.

Skills: Incredibly good with a trident, and decently good with swords and knives. He also can tell sometimes what people are thinking (not mind-reading, but emotionally) and will have a big advantage because of that. He also can fish very well and can even catch big fish with his bare hands. He worked at a hospital and knows how to help if he or anyone else gets hurt.

History: When Ben was six years old, his father died. He really didn't know what this meant, but by the time he turned 8, he was head of the family. By the time he was a freshman in high school, he had four jobs, and kept the family well fed. He worked on fishing boats, the local District 4 newspaper, helped people with mental disabilities, and worked at a hospital. When he worked at a hospital through high school, and in his freshman year, he fell in love with a girl with brain cancer. He was sure she would be okay. He was with her all the time. But she died after a few months, and he had to hold her hand at her bedside as she died. He swore he would never fall in love again (wink-wink). He is an amazing writer and wrote many books along with publishing stories in the school and local paper. He won lots of money and prizes that helped keep him family alive. He worked on fishing boats since he was five with his dad and took over when his dad died and became the greatest fisher in District 4. He is known for the time he caught a Great White Shark with his bare hands. He loves people and disapproves of people who make fun of others and kill others because he worked at a mental facility and loves to help those who have problems. They are just like us but treated so wrong. Besides his mother, Ben has a little brother, Sam who's 12, and Sam was actually reaped, and Ben, the big brother, volunteered. Ben loves his brother more than anything. What Ben doesn't know is that Sam's hatred of the Capitol is going to explode.

Token: A small writing journal and pencil. Throughout the games, he could write down what’s going on.

Gender: Male

Name: Harry Wavebreaker

Age: 12

Appearance: Chin length surfer, wavy, black hair. Warm chocolate brown eyes. He’s average for his age at 5 foot 6 inches. His is skinny, but surprisingly well built from all of his time spent surfing. He has a constant tan from being in the sun.

Personality: He is a charmer although he is very laid back and would agree with pretty much anything. He can be friends with practically anyone and nobody has a dislike to him.

Skills: Harry is a fantastic swimmer and if there were any water vehicles involved, he would rule the Games even as a 12 year old. Harry is also on the school’s darts team and so he has amazing accuracy especially with throwing knives or throwing stars. He can also wield a bow and arrows but not as well as throwing knives/stars and he is probably just mediocre with a sword or trident or any other short range weapon.

Strategy: He would NOT join the Careers and NOT engage in the Cornucopia bloodbath what so ever. If there was any water in sight, he would head for it and hide somewhere near it for hopefully the whole games. He would not ally with anyone, of that he is certain. If someone comes and tries to attack him, he would kill them. He would just get through the games maybe flaunting his skills for sponsor’s gifts, and from sponsor is where he would get most, if not all, of his supplies for the whole games since he won’t engage at the Cornucopia.

History: All his life, Harry has been in the water. Since he was born, he, his mother, his father, and his older brother, Sean, has lived in a cozy seaside cottage. His parents lived a modest life as teachers, but there was always food on the table. One day, at the age of six when he was in the water, Harry found a piece of driftwood and tried to balance on it, and from there, a legendary surfer was born. He has won nearly all of the surfing competitions in District 4 and has become very amazing at it. Sean who’s 16 always takes care of Harry and if Sean hadn’t been too sick to come to the reaping, he probably would’ve volunteered. Harry and Sean had always surfed together, but one day, just three days before the reaping, Sean had been attacked by a shark, and Harry had just saved him, but because of the loss of blood, Sean was declared bedridden for two weeks and even if he hadn’t had the restriction, Sean could barely walk he is so weak. Harry desperately wants to go back to his life and family.

Token: His token is a tooth of the shark that attacked his brother that was found in one of his brother’s wounds. He will keep this shark tooth on the end of a leather necklace he had fashioned just the day before the reaping. Hopefully, this token will remind him of what he has in District 4 and by that, what he needs to fight for.

Gender: Female

Name: Sydney Foam

Age: 15

Appearance: He has caramel hair that she keeps back in two braids. Her eyes are very light blue green eyes that shine bright. Her height is average at 5 foot 6 inches. She is very skinny but very well fed.

Personality: She is very sweet and nice, but she often times is very quiet, deep in thought. She is very smart and gets straight A’s. She is also a great singer and writes some songs along with poetry too. She has seldom friends, but those who are her friends are very close with her. She does have a boyfriend, Vance, and they have known each other since they were young and he is the one person she can be herself around.

Skills: She is quick and can handle a knife or sword as well as the next person. Her weakness is that she might have trouble finding the inner strength to kill another human being. She is also clever and crafty and could probably steal from someone else’s supplies or find things hidden in anywhere in the arena, on land or probably even in water.

Strategy: She guesses that the Careers would be her best bet since she is a District 4 even though she despises all Careers. Maybe show what skills she can muster in order to sustain sponsor support. After it gets to the final 8, she would ditch the Careers and hide all by herself somewhere near a food or water source for the rest of the Games.

History: Sydney has a very rich family. Her father is a developer of an amazingly large company in District 4 and her mother is the mayor’s assistant. Her parents are always at work and she hardly ever sees them, so Sydney holds a grudge against the both of them. She is often depressed because of this and the only reason she will fight to get home is for her boyfriend and few friends.

Gender: Female

Name: Jacqueline Culvers

Age: 17

Appearance: Dark hair, usually kept back in a ponytail or bun. Very dark blue eyes. She is a real looker. Average height at 5 foot 7 inches, skinny build with little muscle.

Personality: She is a fun person who likes to make people laugh and is very smart. She is sometimes shy and quiet, but when you get to know her, she is has very upbeat attitude.

Skills: She is flexible since she is head cheerleader and although she is incompetent with any long range weapons or accuracy, she can wield a sword or long knife well enough to get by. She is also amazingly fast, and can whip past someone in a hurry.

Strategy: Run. She would sprint to the Cornucopia and be the first one there, grab a choice weapon and a pack and head for the foliage. Hopefully, when anyone cornered, she would run, and make it through the Games without a kill except for the final fight.

History: Jacqueline’s house blew up four years ago taking her parents with it and leaving her in charge of her little sister, Katie. They live at an orphanage, but to get by, Jacqueline has to sign up for quite a large amount of tessarae and that is probably what got her reaped.
