Information
Name: Ohm Calkill

District: Five

Gender: Male

Age: Sixteen

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Personality: Ohm is the type of guy that exudes confidence. He has a very prominent and personable presence in social situations, and his skills in being able to connect with others are exceptional. Ohm enjoys being around people that can match either his physical or social prowess. This is a primary reason why he enjoys being able to spend time with his sister so much. It is worth noting that Ohm is fiercely protective of people who he sees as weaker or more vulnerable than him. This extends to people in bad situations who may be older or bigger than him. He's describable as a tasmanian devil of sorts: a small thing with giant energy.

Height: 5'4"

Weight: 147 lbs

Weapon(s): Ohm's past involved him using curved and short blades. Though traditionally, these have been knives, a sickle would be just as comfortable in his hands. Other than that, Ohm would be adept at trap-making, seeing as much like his sister, he is an adept scholar with remarkable intelligence.

History:

Backstory= Guidelines/Condensed Version=

Strengths: Ohm's biggest strengths are rooted in his natural athleticism. His work as a track and field star throughout school helped him develop a toned physique that can come in handy in close quarters situations. His social, positive attitude also works wonders in being able to connect with other people, and undoubtedly could be a boon towards his survival within the Hunger Games.

Weaknesses: Ohm struggles to pull himself apart from his sister. His naturally self-sacrificing personality puts him in a bad situation when it comes to keeping himself safe if the other option would cause harm to his sister. Ohm also tries to believe in the better side of people, leaving him to be manipulated by some with nefarious intentions much easier than the average person would be. He's willing to cut a lot more slack if he's not seeing them directly harming others.

Fears: Ohm's biggest fear is the possibility of his sister dying. He is willing to give up his own life for her to stay alive, and it would devastate him to lose her.

Reaping reaction: Upon seeing that his sister was reaped, Ohm immediately volunteered for the male tribute, his intentions to get her out of the Games alive being clear.

Group Training: Ohm focuses on keeping his sister safe from any potential predators looking to prey on her perceived vulnerability, i.e. Career tributes. However, he also tries to connect with a couple of other loners, recognizing that there are certain advantages to being able to connect with others on a personal level.

Individual Sessions in Training: Ohm practices with his knife, running through the arena simulator in its combat scenarios.

Interview Angle: Ohm brightens up the interview stage after his sister's quiet one, hoping to pull more sponsors towards the duo considering her personality's detrimental nature on stage.

Alliance: Ohm's primary alliance is with his sister, Jules, though he is willing to accept a couple of others into the alliance so long as they can prove themselves to be a kind person, primarily due to his sister's anxieties. What this qualifies as is up to his owner's discretion.

Token: Ohm's token is another vial of anxiety medication for his sister, in case she loses or runs out of her medication.

Mentor Advice: You're just as sociable as the greats are, Ohm. I think you have a really strong chance of making out of this alive, if you're willing to let your sister die...why are you walking away from me?

Inspiration and Etymology
Ohm's inspiration is mainly rooted in Ruben's fascination with true crime and darker stories from the real world.

Ohm's first name comes from the ohm, a unit of electrical resistance in physics. Calkill is a diminutive of "calcul" from calculator, and was also intended to more directly represent the original concept in mind for Ohm and Jules.

Trivia

 * Originally, Ohm and Jules were a contract killer/hitman for hire duo, though their concept later changed to what they are now.
 * In that original state, Jules was the younger sibling while Ohm was the older one. This has been reversed as it made for a more interesting dynamic.
