Full Profile
Bellum was born into the wealthy Bliston family, by way of Martes and Nexis Bliston. Both militarily trained, he led a young life strictly governed by rules and schedules. However instead of these rules making a calm orderly child, it did the exact opposite, with Bellum being hungry for excitement and obnoxiously spontaneous.

Martes, his father, is, while appearing outwardly solemn and serious, is where the majority of Bellum's rambunctiousness comes from. He was much like is son now is at that age, and while trying to seem angry when Bellum does wrongdoings, he always sees himself and eases punishment. He does though take his work very seriously, as being head general of all military forces in District 13 requires utmost attention and preciseness. He is thrilled when Bellum would take an interest in his work, which happens somewhat often especially in recent years, and shows his many things a boy his age should probably be oblivious to.

Where Martes is the good cop, Nexis is very much the bad cop. She comes down on Bellum often and hard. It isn't unusual for the two of them to get in heated argument over Bellum's skirmishes, and she isn't afraid to deal out an appropriate smacking if he really deserves it. Deep down she really loves him, but she has a hard time displaying such emotions.

Bellum is the district own "cool guy." Many people his age, younger, and older, look to him for what is right or wrong socially. The power has sort of gone to his head, making him think that he is above many people. He frequents the shadier parts of the district, and while not engaging in anything illegal (at least not regularly), he has been known to fight for the thrill of it. While in his youth he received high marks in school, hours of slacking and wandering have left his current grades sub-par at best. In the way of love, he is what one might call a player, and flirts constantly with girls he deems worthy. He has been in many relationships, some getting quite serious, but he always breaks them off, possibly hinting at an underlying fear of commitment. He is also known to disrupt conduct around the district through various means of rule breaking, but Martes uses his position to make sure no legal repercussions ever come about. Years of getting what he wanted and being on top socially has left him with a need for leadership, a need he will take actions considered drastic by some standards.
