I've decided to start a sort of archive, so I can sort through all my characters, keep them in order, and maybe even reuse some when needed. So, without further ado...

Reid Braxton

http://24.media.tumblr.com/8fc99fcaf6e1f236f5d3f0cf0ffaee53/tumblr_mq1x43rHmj1ssvy5oo1_400.jpg

Reid is well known throughout school, but definitely not for the right reasons. He has a reputation for his drinking, partying, and using girls and then throwing them aside once he gets bored. He comes across as cocky and overly confident, but there's always a hint of charm in his words. He often can't resist making jokes at the expense of others, but he's rarely malicious, although he does have a nasty temper if angered, and won't take shit from anyone. He's not shy of attention, and appears not to care what other people think of him.
He only turns up to school because of his mother, who he hates disappointing, but often leaves half way through the day if he gets frustrated. His mother obviously loves him, but she's never been strict with him, instead taking the opinion that if she left him to his own devices, he would learn his lessons by himself. He's never know his father, and hates talking about him. He has a job at the weekend helping out at a local dog shelter, but he hasn't told anyone about it.

Name: Braden Mercer

Age: 20

http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/fa/96/43/fa9643227c602d1785374488c7d281c5.jpgDescription: Braden is a little shorter than average, around 5"9. His dark hair is always in a perpetual state of messiness, like he's just rolled out of bed. His eyes are set in a strongly chiseled face, which is lightly tanned like the rest of his body. He has a few tattoos dotted around his body, but nothing with real meaning to him.

Personality: Braden is very confident, almost overly so. He's often found with a smile on his face, and is generally playful and happy. He's sharp witted and quick to pick up on, and notice things. He's extremely social, and appears to know almost everyone, but he rarely lets anyone close to him. He has an even temper, and is hard to anger. But if someone, somehow, does anger him, he completely and utterly flips. It’s like all the anger that’s been hidden behind his smile for months suddenly appears in a massive, catastrophic explosion.

Bio: Braden would say he's had a pretty normal life - he grew up with his mother and father. His mother cheated on his father once when he was younger, but his father forgave her, and they've lived happily together ever since. They were perhaps a little soft on him in his younger years, but tried to bring him up right. He moved out to live by himself when he went to university, and now lives with a couple of other students. He's well known around college for his partying, drinking, and the fact he appears to have a different girl in his bed every night of the week.

Walter is tall, a few inches over six foot. He's toned from the hours of physical work on the ship, but a little lean due to the lack of food that sometimes occurs when they're at sea for too long. His black shaggy hair hits just above his shoulders, and he often has a hint of stubble across his jaw. His eyes are a dark blue. He's rather handsome, but his nose is a little crooked where it's been broken before, and he has a scar running down one side of his neck. A faded tattoo of his ship spans across the whole of his back.
Name ~ Walter Stirling
Age ~ 23
Personality/Brief Background ~ Walter's mother died during childbirth, and his father turned to alcohol to drown his sorrows. As a result, Walter grew up very independent, having to fend for himself. He ran away when he was 13, and got a job aboard a pirate ship. He was paid little, but unlike most of the other boys his age who joined at the same time, he managed to survive the first few years, and was steadily promoted until he became first mate. He saved up enough money to buy his own ship, and now runs it strictly but fairly. He's very confident but not arrogant. Most of the time, despite his past, he's upbeat and cheerful, but he can be angered quickly, and if he thinks someone has crossed him he is unforgiving and harsh.


Name ~ Reid Bradford

Age ~ 18

Appearance ~

http://data1.whicdn.com/images/48459483/large.jpg

Personality (Briefly) ~
Reid focuses his whole life on having as much fun as he can, in the shortest amount of time possible. It's hard to get him to take anything seriously, but if he is angered, he completely blows up. He's a flirt, but most of the girls he talks to don't mean anything to him. He isn't one to mince his words - if he thinks something, he'll say it out loud, as he doesn't normally care what anyone thinks about him.

Extras ~
Reid lives with his mother in a tiny apartment, in the roughest part of town. He's never know his father, and hates him completely for leaving his mother when he found out she was pregnant. His mother's rarely ever home, so he has few rules that he has to obey. Swhe loves her son, but after his father left her, she quickly sunk down into depression, which she tries to drown frequently with alcohol.

He has a beat up, rusty motorbike, but he's trying his best to save up money so he can fix it up. He earns most of his money in underground boxing matches, where he bets his money on himself and then usually wins. Whatever money he earns is the only source of income into their house.

He's definitely not a virgin in any sense of the word, but he's not had a long term relationship in many years. He had a couple when he was younger, which both ended in heartbreak, and put him off them completely. He spends his weekends drinking and partying, although he refuses to touch cigarettes or drugs.



Name - Daniel Gregory
Age -18
District - 2
Role - (Future) Tribute
Appearance (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6DFDpLsPsHM/UjjZSGboWlI/AAAAAAAANyg/-olDIosystQ/s1600/JaiCourtney2.jpg) - Daniel has his blonde hair shaved off, with dark blue, almost black eyes. He is tanned from his many hours in the sun, and well muscled, both from his work moving heavy stones around and from his training. He isn't what most people would typically consider good looking - His nose is crooked from getting into one too many fights, and he has a few scars - one running down the side of his face along his jawline, one from the left side of his chest to his right hip, and one of the bottom of his right foot, but he has a certain attractive air of confidence that always surrounds him. He also has "May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favour," tattooed across the inside of his left arm. His appearance doesn't hid any hidden depths - his hard outer shell is a reflection of his attitude to life.
Personality & Background - Daniel refuses to take any shit from anyone. If he thinks someone is about to screw him over, or isn't being honest with him, he is completely ruthless and unforgiving. He is very confident, and almost arrogant.
He has a soft spot for his dog, Killer, and when he's alone with him, it's the only time he truly lets his guard down. The only person he's ever been close to is his mother, who died when he was 9. Her dream was for her son to win the hunger games, and ever since she died, he's been completely and utterly focused on winning the games for her, so much that his life has been completely consumed by his training. His father is rarely around, instead spending all his time drinking his sorrows away, so Daniel is used to fending for himself.
He trains every single day and well into the night, whenever he isn't working. His strengths including hand to hand combat, knife throwing, and is a fast sprinter. He also dabbles in various other forms of attack, including sword fights and archery. He knows his weaknesses - which include the fact that he knows little about actual survival - and is trying hard to work on them. He deliberately hasn't tried to volunteer before, wanting to wait until he was as strong as possible. But he's determined that this year will be his year, and nothing is going to stop him from being the male tribute for District 2

Scarlett Briar
http://static.lockerz.com/decalz/W600/image001346568837363nwrjse.png
Age ~ 16
Scarlett is very confident, and knows how to get what she wants. She often sees herself as above other people, and as a result can come across as a little cold. Her mother died when she was young, and her father works full time, and then does more work when he's home. As a result, she can be very attention seeking from other people. She does, however, have a softer, gentler side, but she rarely ever lets anyone see it.

Originally used in "Hunger Games"

Name: Orla (Meaning Golden Princess) Chain.

Age: 16

District:1

Appearance/Description:
Scarlett is a little short, at around 5"3, which makes people underestimate her. However, she is toned from all her training and can lift more weight than most men. Her eyes are a dark grey, and her hair is dyed a few shades lighter, a shimmery silver. (Her natural hair colour is blonde.)
http://www.gold08.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/online-jewelry-stores.jpg

Personality: Orla is over confident, sometimes bordering on arrogant. She won't hesitate to take on people twice her size, whether it be verbally or physically, and is often impulsive, leading with her heart rather than her head. She's rather vain, and takes pride in her appearance. She has a hard outer shell which is tough to crack, but on the very rare occasion that she does open up, she can be soft and quite fragile.

Bio:
Orla's father is one of the district's most successful jewelers, and as a result, she has never had to work for anything. She's spend practically all of her life training for the games, after encouragement from her father at a young age. Her mother hates the idea of her only daughter being in danger, but she's never dared speak up to her husband, who is often harsh and strict. Orla has always wanted to earn her father's approval, having only ever gained a few words of praise from him throughout her life.
She knows that if she wins the games, he will finally be proud of her. She isn't scared of dying in the games - If she had the option, she'd rather die anyway than go home a loser and disappoint her father.

She is a expert with throwing knives and at hand to hand combat, but knows little about actual survival - she knows it's a weakness of hers, and is planning on spending most of her time learning before the games.
