History: Hunter lives with his father and Grandfather in a small shack on the very edge of the District. From a very young age, his father and grandfather taught him how to be a lethal hunter and tracker. They taught him many things including how to make a bow, how to track, and how to pick out unusual sounds and not to make them. When he was younger, he was hunting and the deer he was bringing down caught him with a hoof in the leg, unable to walk, Hunter waited for a day in the woods until a young girl stumbled upon him. Wide eyed and cautious, she helped him home and helped to fix him up. When he next returned to the woods, it was with the little girl who's name he learned to be Fallon. He taught her many things and they became close friends. When she was reaped, Hunter felt pain tear through him like his own blood sister was in her death bed. Without a second though he volunteered, saving a poor twelve year old boy from the games at the same time. When he saw his father in the crowd, his father nodded, approving of his choice since Hunter's father had always taught him to defend the things he believes in most.
