District Five Male: Jerphydius Sylverstar

"I always love to see a  new tribute join us. We never know what they'll be like, or what they've  got up their sleeves." -Fillius Ravenscar

Name: Jerphydius Sylverstar

Age: 16

Gender: Male

District: Five

Physical Description:  Straightened chestnut brown hair, bangs curving slightly above his right  eyebrow; fiery amber eyes; a slight tan covered every inch of his  muscular body; tall for his age.

Personality: Rebellious -  he had gotten the trait from his father. Sarcastic and trustworthy, but  fears untrustworthiness of others as he'd learnt about the things that  could happen when somebody you trusted betrayed you - he'd lived it.  Apart from all of that, he was generally a nice guy that needed  something or someone to replace his emptiness.

Craft: Power plant security officer.

Skills: Combat, disappearing, hunting and is an encyclopedia of plants.

Weapon of Choice: Any weapon Jer can get his hands on, he can use, though he favours using sneakier tricks.

District Token: He was  given back the medallion he his younger sister that was made of wire and  was as hard as diamond; it was given back to him as a sign of good  luck.

Back Story: His father,  Pherydin, was a Victor from the Capitol and his sister, Cathlina Ivy,  was recently the Victor of 5. His family were fighters.

Their whole family had  stayed at the Capitol for awhile when his father was working as a  stylist for the tributes; of course, his father disapproved the Games,  which wasn't normal or acceptable for someone from the Capitol.

After a few years,  Pherydin retired and they moved to 5, the home of their mother; they  loved it there. Not long after, Ivy fell in love with a boy and they  became boyfriend and girlfriend, which was one of the worst things she  should've done.

Little did they know,  after gaining their trust, he'd betray them. Their father was gone and  the three of them stayed in their house all by themselves, grieving and  wanting revenge. They even pledged not to trust anyone else, only to  depend on each other and themselves, which wasn't hard as their hearts  filled with ice.

Their father taught them  and to practice them everyday, just in case they were reaped. It turned  out that they did in fact need those skills.

Jerphydius Sylverstar: District Five

DarkLightning

Usually, I'd wake up  early, Ivy and I would spar and go out for a jog. For the past four  years of my life, there was always one day that I detested waking up:  reaping day. Today was that day, but here's the catch, this was the  second one held this year. It was tradition to hold another Games to  honour the life of a recently deceased Gamemaker; as rare as it seemed,  it still happened, like it was happening today. I didn't want to honour  the life of someone who ended so many people's cruelly.

My mum shouted up the  stairs for the sixty-eighth time for me to get ready for the reaping and  to eat something for breakfast; I was guessing that she knew I was  still hidden beneath the covers. We needed to dress up and look all  pretty for the cameras, though us guys did not want to look pretty.

Grudgingly, I slid down  the stairs and ate a minuscule amount of the toast; it was how I was  taught to eat from a young age, so I could go the extra mile if I was in  the Games, whilst all the other tributes would need to eat and I had an  advantage.
