Information
Name: Jules Calkill

District: Five

Gender: Female

Age: Eighteen

Alignment: True Neutral

Personality: Quiet and reserved, Jules is characterized by her general reluctance to engage socially with other people. Her general temperament seems meek and withdrawn from other people, though this seems to be mostly a result of her discomfort with situations relating to her upbringing. She seeks comfort in her younger brother and in those who she feels resemble her, whether in background, appearance, personality, or some other abstract manner. Though she prefers solitude aside from with her younger brother, she is open to engage socially with others, though her general introversion does throw a wrench into these situations quite often.

Height: 5'9"

Weight: 129 lbs

Weapon(s): Jules has previously used a traditional one-handed hammer, and therefore, warhammers would feel quite familiar and similar to her muscle memory. Other than that, Jules' past did not involve her with many weapons or any particular training with them. With that said, her experience as a scholar and advanced student did allow her to quickly improvise and theorycraft different traps for use in differing contraptions.

History:

Backstory= Guidelines/Condensed Version=

Strengths: Jules' biggest strength is her ability to think on the fly. As a situation develops, she's able to plan ahead and figure out the outcomes of different sequences as they happen. She is also remarkably fast, with her speed letting her outrun many of the people within her age group, even though they may be more athletic or muscular than she is.

Weaknesses: Jules is not particularly strong without emotion behind her movement. In a neutral state, without fear or anger to fuel the fire in her muscles, she comes off as somewhat weak, being unable to support her own weight for more than a few seconds. Jules' anxiety also serves as a cause for concern.

Fears: Jules has a strong fear of grain-based alcohol. The mere scent of it is enough to trigger her PTSD and cause a severe anxiety attack to take place in her. She also fears loud, sudden sounds, such as doors slamming or glass breaking.

Reaping reaction: Jules bowed her head solemnly, before ascending to the stage. She became visibly upset when her brother volunteered, saddened that he would go in to try and protect her.

Group Training: Jules tries to learn some survival skills to help herself acclimate to potential arena and wilderness hazards.

Individual Sessions in Training: Jules will simply try and demonstrate her abilities with the hammer, and potentially demonstrate some trap work as well.

Interview Angle: Jules is very quiet during her interview, though she does try to show some gratitude to the Capitol for accommodating her and her brother.

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

Token: Jules' token is a bottle of anxiety medication, a way for her to try and deal with the potential anxiety attacks she may or may not have throughout the course of the Games.

Mentor Advice: I think you'd be surprised about how most people would engage with you after hearing what you've been through, Jules. Have a little faith. You might just find out it was worth it.

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

Jules' first name comes from the joule, a unit of energy 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.
