Maddox Hillsong

Personality
Mason is proud, confident and has lived in a poor family all his life and knows what it is like to be hungry. Mason is a very kind young man with a lot of energy. He always sees the bright side of everything and is always smiling, even when things don’t go his way. He does not see the need to be cruel or mean to anyone and does not wish to compete in the Hunger Games. He does try to train for the Games, but only out of fear of being reaped as he knows he does not have a chance. Mason's constant training (although he can't do it) shows how determined he is to fight for his life, if he gets called.

Backstory
Mason has a very small family, a father, a mother and a twin brother. He has always lived in the same house and has never had a full stomach, ever. Each year since he could speak, his family has watched the Hunger Games. Mason never really had much joy in watching others die but his brother, Jordan, loves the Games and wishes to go and compete, to win and bring back wealth to her poor family.

His mother and father don't encourage Jordan’s behavior but nothing can be done for Jordan. He is determined to win if he's called. Mason can never speak his mind of her distaste of the Games in public but at home he tells his family, especially his brother that the Games are cruel and mean.

Some children in his class at school boast about how they will one day be Victors and how they will one day be rich, his brother included, but Mason never joined in on the boasting but quietly and silently shook with fear as he hated the thought of death and fighting.

The only disagreement the two brothers have is over the Games, otherwise, Mason and Jordan are like two peas in a pod. They do almost everything together and like all the same things. They always have each other’s back, they know they can count on the other to always be there. They do love each other and cannot live without the other one. Mason will do anything for Jordan, and Jordan the same.

For their whole lives it’s been this way, watching the Games, playing, doing well in school and always scraping by. Mason's horrified while Jordan is excited and they both practice fighting each other, gather food together and even tried hunting, but of course, never achieving any skill. As they wait for Reaping Day, they both will have to see if one will enter the Games.
