Please pm me or review with everything: IE:: name,physical and personality descriptions, male or female, family, district, et cetera... HAVE FUN AND HAPPY HUNGER GAMES!
ok, so one AMAZING person has amazingly given the perfect example of how I would like you to do your submission::
Name: Cyme Samara
Gender: Female
Age: 17
District: 7 (or 11; corrections to background can be changed if needed.)
Personality: She's mostly stubborn/headstrong. She wanted to do a lot of things her way, but her brother always got the final say. This just made her more stubborn. She is considerate to her family and the poor around her, but finds a lack of consideration for someone in a higher status than her. Moving forward on the positive, she has an enjoyable personality and will tickle a smile or two out of you if she can. As for the negative, did I mention she's pretty stubborn? Well, she's almost too thickheaded to consider the bad sides of a situation. She lets her emotions get the best of her, resulting in a storming away or something. Plus, her jokes or poking could get someone against her very quickly.
Family/Friends: She has one sibling and her mother. She looks up to her brother Bael, a strong worker out in the woodcutting district of District 7. He earns most of the wages for their family while he encouraged Cyme to attend school or make use of her skills. Bael did not want to see his sister out in the woods, cutting down trees that would crush her, much like one did to their father. She finds an education meaningless in this day and age, though. As for acquaintances, she is knows many in her district, young and old. Bael is the popular one, however, and they know her by name only. Her closest friend is a young girl named Ruta. She is three years younger than Cyme and is ultimately reaped for the Games. Cyme makes the choice to take her place, since staying within the walls of trees is not getting her anywhere.
Reaping Outfit: Instead of being at the courtyard when the Reaping began, she was rooting through people's homes and taking some of their goods. She just happened to be standing in a home nearby, listening in on who was chosen. When Ruta's name was called, she flew through the door of the home and dashed up the to the stage shouting, "I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!" She wasn't wearing the traditional dress and kitten heel; she was dressed in a comfortable pair of grey slacks tucked into dark boots and white tank top.
Reaped or Volunteered: She volunteers in the place of a young friend of hers.
Appearance: She's approximately 5'6", weighing in around 110lbs (possibly less). Her skin is tanned naturally and freckles have kissed her cheeks, shoulders, and arms. She has large green eyes and long dark hair (always up or braided) that she ultimately cuts into a pixie cut before the games begin. Finally, she has a scar across her left eyebrow from a mugger in the District. He took everything she had, but changed her perception of survival in that place. That scar lead to a hobby in stealing for her family.
Hobbies: Mentioned prior, Cyme has taken up the hobby of stealing. It is something she's grown accustomed to for about three years. In fact, her hobby resulted in her meeting Ruta. At the time, she slipped into the girl's house to take something and ended up running into her by mistake. Additionally, she enjoys climbing and short runs through the wildlife.
Likes/Dislikes: Again, she likes to take things from people who are better off than her. It brings a smile to her face when she can help feed her family and the neighborhood kids every once in a while. She always likes to be on peoples' good sides, but that doesn't always work. She likes to climb and jog and clear her mind if things get tough. Not so much of an introvert, she can be a noisy bomb if you get on her bad side. As for the dislikes, she won't like you if you're rude or rub that "I have more money/food/friends than you" deal in her face. She then might want to take your stuff afterward. She also hates the taste of fish and cannot stand the smell of burning flesh. She also hates to fall, which is weird, because she likes to climb.
History: Cyme doesn't remember the morning her father was crushed by a falling tree. She doesn't remember how much her mother cried or how her brother wouldn't look her in the eyes for a very long time. When her brother started to leave in the mornings, weeks after the event, she suddenly realized where he was, what he was doing, and how angry she was at her mother for it. She wanted to be out there, too, though. Her family was already struggling, but she wanted to contribute and make it easier. That was never the case. She was forced to attend school and work her way up this fictional ladder while her mother withered away each passing day. Cyme worried about Bael, too, but she didn't want to mope around about it like mommy did. She decided to take hold of her life and make it fulfilling. After an attack by a mugger, she decided to steal a little here and there, as well. It became a hobby, but more into a profession; she chose her targets carefully and took what they didn't need anymore. Selling the goods or bringing it to the table, she made sure there was food on that dinner table every night. Her mom didn't know, but Bael did. He tried to stop her many times, but it never worked. Fast forward three years, she's running out of someone's home, screaming that she volunteers, and that's where her story really begins.
Strengths: Again, she is an avid climber and she's quick and quiet. The small career she made out of sneaking into peoples' homes has enhanced those skills.
Weakness: If faced against an untimely demise, she might high-tail it out of there before fighting back; she would definitely run away before speaking/fighting/working out those differences. Additionally, she may be fast, but she's not that strong. She can't pick up a heavy weapon or rock and use those to her advantage. And, since her brother made sure she was inside or in the town rather than in the woods, she didn't learn the advanced skills of surviving in the wilderness. She doesn't know how to start a fire correctly or even create a net. She probably won't know the difference between berries or death.
Training Score/What did they do?: 8; this is presumed perhaps for her climbing skills and avid ability to stay calm and silent under particular conditions.
Interview Angle: This is where I think she should cut off all her hair. She just chops it all off on the stage and shows the world how serious she is about winning this thing. She believes this is the best strategy.
Interview Outfit: Almost like the dress of a Greek or Roman goddess, the gown drapes elegantly over her shoulders and toward her feet. The dress is a grassy green to compare with her green eyes. She doesn't wear shoes here, because she hated how the others felt on her toes. Her long hair is bundled up on her hair in braids with golden leaves before she decided to cut it all off right then and there.
Open to Alliances?: Yes.
Open to Romance?: Yes.
Could they kill someone?: If the possibility arose more than once, then yes. It will not happen the first or even the second time. She cannot go through with it unless it is the ultimate choice to survival.
How long do you think they can survive?: A while. Unless the gamemakers flush her out, she might spend the entire time hiding and stealing people's gear. If she makes alliances early in the game, that will definitely change. I can see her surviving until the end, actually.
Weapon of Choice: Coming from a lumber district, who wouldn't choose a machete or axe as their favorite weapon? Actually, Cyme prefers short blades that fit nicely between her fingers. She's quick enough to draw them and slice away at a foe in front of her.
Token: A faded, gold hair clip given to her by Ruta after she volunteers. She wears it in her hair after cutting it all off.
Preferred Death: Honestly, either some big guy will get her from behind or she'll eat something she wasn't supposed to. I hope it's not the second one.
