Name: Kelci Tecida

District: 8

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Personality: Kelci is very headstrong and self-reliant, tending to count on herself and is good at working alone, although she does work well with others when she must. She holds great hatred and contempt towards the Capitol and all it's supporters.

She has long since grown contemptuous of the richer citizens of the District, thinking that they are weak, narrow minded and constant suck-ups to the Capitol. They believe that the Capitol is wonderful, though Kelci knows that they are hopelessly corrupt, power hungry and selfish. Kelci has long since believed the words of her elder brother, Tasher, that no one can be trusted and that doing so would only lead to your death. This lesson was further engrained in her head when Tasher betrayed her and left her to fend for herself.

She's a rebel at heart, and whenever someone tells her to do something, she'll often do the exact opposite, just to spite them. The exception being with Tasher, her current boss, or when the situation clearly benefits her.

Backstory: Kelci was born to a very poor and mentally ill woman by the name of Weaver Tecida, whom already had another child by the name of Tasher. An unwanted mistake, Weaver did not endeavour to take very good care of her children, often neglecting them both as they travelled the streets. Kelci never knew her father, and neither her Mother or Tasher would ever speak about him.

Tasher was seven years older than Kelci, and growing up she looked up to him, despite the fact that he was not a very good person. He cared for little beyond his own well-being, always ensuring that he had enough to eat, but never caring if his mother or Kelci did. Despite this, Kelci found him to be the only person whom she cared for--and more importantly--the only person in her life who wasn't completely self-destructive, as gradually their mother became more and more erratic, until one day she attacked a Peacekeeper and was shot to death. Tasher grabbed Kelci, who was only eleven years old at the time and would be sent to an orphanage if captured, and fled the scene.

Kelci and Tasher avoided attention by living in the seedy underworld of District 8, rarely spending more than a year in one place. They traveled the streets by themselves, typically joining up with thieving crews and pulling heists. Tasher beat Kelci if she wasn't quiet and unobtrusive, or if she did anything to jeopardize their survival. He taught her to be suspicious—even paranoid—and to do whatever was necessary to survive. Because of this treatment, she became emotionally aloof and holds an astoundingly low sense of self-worth.

Tasher repeatedly told Kelci that no one could be trusted and that everyone would leave and betray her if given the chance, even going as far as to tell her that one day he too would leave her.

Tasher made good on his word, disappearing when Kelci was around fifteen years old, leaving her with a thief master and his crew. Her wages were docked and she was put into dangerous situations frequently because of her brother's substantial debt to the gang. They kept her alive, however, because she was a skilled thief, and those were in short supply.

When she turned sixteen, a full year after Tasher's disappearance, she and the gang were planning another heist, this time a bigger and more prominent job then they ever done before. However, the day the the job was meant to happen, something happened that made sure Kelci would never take part in it.

She was Reaped.

Height: 5'5

Appearance: Kelci has long, wavy, strawberry blonde hair that goes down to her shoulders, though she often keeps it tied up high and out of the way. She has a pair of large dark brown eyes. A long scar stretches from the bridge of her nose to the base of her chin, something she received from a thief masters whip after a failed mission. She is scrawny, thin, and very unappealing to look at.

Weapon: There's only one weapon that Kelci has had any prior experience with, and that's the simple Knife. Easy to wield and a staple in the Hunger Games, Kelci should have no problem getting her hands on such a weapon during her time in the Games.

Strengths: A lifelong thief, Kelci is an accomplished pickpocket and exceedingly Stealthy. She knows how to move without being seen or heard, something that should prove useful in the Games. Living a hard life on the streets, Kelci has often gone days without food, meaning that she knows what it is like to go hungry and will not suffer like as much as some other tributes might.

Weaknesses: Small and frail, Kelci would do well to avoid combat, as she is in no way competent at it. The most she knows about combat is that when something attacks you, you need to stab it dead before it finishes you off. Kelci is also horrendously inept at surviving in rural environments. She's lived in the urban cesspool of District 8 her entiire life, and has not once seen a single tree that was larger then a lamppost.

Fears: Death. A simple and all pervading fear, Kelci is terrified at the prospect of dying, especially at the hands of the government she despises so much. She's fought against death for so long, that the idea of losing it now is unbearable.

Name: Octavian Silvercrest

District: 12

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Personality: Charming: Octavian enjoys getting people to like him and is exceptionally well at it, although he sometimes gets annoyed at how people tend to like him more than he sought. Confident: He’s extremly sure of his abilites and never thinks he is at a disadvange in any situation and will never back down from a fight, a trait which often gets him into serious trouble. Honorable: He always tries to do the right thing and looks out for the people who are weaker then him, and hates anyone who takes advantage of and/or acts as if they are above others Daring: Octavian’s always willing to take risks and try feats of grandour, even if it means risking his own life.

Backstory: Octavian was born to two simple citizens of District 12, Kessie and Theodore Silvercrest. Kessie was a merchant and Theodore was a Metallurgist. They lived a simple, modest life in the Seam, but always preached the virtues of honor and integrity to the young Octavian. These lessons were forever imprinted upon his mind.

Octavian lived a simple life of little note before he reached the age of 13. When Octavian was 13 a man broke into his house, waking both Octavian and his parents in the process. His mother tried to stop the intruder from fleeing, but the man killed her and escaped.

This tramuatized Octavians’ father putting him into an almost catatonic state of despair and he now rarely ever leaves his house or speaks. At the same time, this atrocity opened Octavian’s eyes to all of the injustice and corruption among both the people of the District and from the Peacekeepers who were suppose to be protecting them. Octavian realized that someone had to try and put things right, and the only one who could was himself.

He took his fathers old bow, a family heirloom kept secret from everyone, and he began training himself with it while at the same time teaching himself marital arts. He contiuned this training for five years without ever using his skills until one day when he encountered an in-process house robbery, the very same kind that happened to his family. Octavian decided to intervene. He easily defeated and detained the intruder and his success made him realize how he could help his District. He then secretly made himself a black hood with cloth he bought from the black market and from then on, he began to patrol the District every night, stopping any crime--no matter the severity or the perpetrators-- whenever he saw it. He did this noble task for two years and began to believe he was finally changing things…up until the day he was Reaped and sent to the Hunger Games.

Height: 5'10

Appearance: Octavian is lean and handsome, straight as a spear, body hard with muscle. He has a head of deep ebony hair, pale blue eyes, and an aquiline nose. He is strong and fast, with a powerful arms and toughened legs from many fights.

Weapon: Bow and Arrows, Throwing Knives. His main weapons of choice while fighting crime back in District 12. It gives him a ranged advantage, and also allows him to incapacitate a stronger opponent from afar.

Strengths: Martial Arts, Climbing. Octavian has honed his body to the point where it is a weapon unto itself. He will need no blade or axe to slay his opposition, he could simply break their trachea or snap their neck. However, he usually only kills though he finds to be unjust. He is also an expert climber, able to scale the tallest of buildings with relative ease.

Weaknesses: Swimming, Plant Identification, sometimes exceedingly Reckless. He has absolutely no experience with the outdoors or rural areas, so he will be at a disadvantage when at the mercy of nature, which tends to be quite often in the Hunger Games.

Fear: Someone he cares about dying: Since he lost his mother young, he has an almost unreasonable fear of someone he loves dying and he breaks down into a panic if someone even gets somewhat close to death, because of this he stays by himself and rarely gets close to anyone.

Token: His mothers old faded blue bracelet. He has kept it with him ever since she died
