Did you read the rules? -Admin Edit-
Character name: Leonidas Gregory Thatcher
Age: Thirty-Nine
District: One
Occupation: Mentor
Height & Weight: 6’1”, 200 Pounds
Play by: Chris Hemsworth
Physical Description: Leon is a big guy to say the least, he is built like a career which means he’s tough inside and out. His face has a hard look to it, but that might just be because he’s a victor. He has long golden locks that are kept brushed. At first glance he might look charming and sometimes can be. But most of the time he’s just hard all around. Sometimes he has stubble on his chin but never lets it get unruly. He’s seen as an celebrity of sorts around his district. Then again isn’t everyone who’s won in the arena? And Leon lives up to his legacy even if it is just an act.
Personality: Leon as stated before is rough around the edges. Most Victor’s are after what they have gone through. He doesn’t like talking about the games but if it’s brought up he will, unwillingly. And sometimes will snap when people do getting lost in rage. Most of the younger kids in the District want to know about the arena. They all watch on TV but are dying to know first hand. Like most in his District he volunteered and it’s a great honor to get picked. If only he had known what life was going to be like on the other side he might have not done so.
Leon isn’t all-bad though once you get past his shell. He can hold conversation like any gentlemen and shows great respect to those who give it. He drinks every now and again when his nightmares get bad. Just to get him self to sleep but besides that he knows how to handle his liquor. Unlike some Victor’s who need the alcohol to get by. He doesn’t like talking about his childhood it was a tough one. He trained day in and day out with his father since the age of five. Learning to weld a sword which is his weapon of choice.
Internal Conflicts: To have to reenter the games and become a killer once again. It was hard enough to win the first time let alone again.
Being a natural born killer, it’s easy enough to train younger pupils. But when he does train all the nightmare’s of the games come back. At times he does lose it and students do get afraid of how easily he can slip back in to survival mode. Especially when it’s against them.
Strengths: Keeps in shape, Knows how to wield a weapon, A gentlemen, Has all the riches he needs for two life times.
Weaknesses: Hard to uphold the celebrity status at times, Can get lost in his nightmares, Has a bad temper when provoked, seeing a tribute he mentored die.
Fears: Being put in the games again, Being a bad Mentor, Getting lost in his life, Being a disappointment to his father.
Anything Else: None
History: Leon started training for the games at age Five. His father always pushed him past his limits telling him one day he will make a fine Victor. Although compliments were far and few between with them. He always had an issue of disappointing his father and even in death he some how figured he’d be tormented. It took him years to perfect wielding a sword but when he got it, it stuck. His father giving him a slap on the back as a ‘good job’ instead of actually vocalizing. His mother was the same a hardened women but with the man she chose to marry she had to be. Both pushed Leon to be the best in everything it was a curse put upon him. He took it in stride though not wanting to disappoint them in anyway. He even excelled in school which was always second priority.
It was at age seventeen that Leon finally got his chance to shine. Offering him self up as a tribute and the highest honor. His parents when they came to visit said how proud they were of their son. If only Leon knew what price he had to pay to get in to the arena. He figured he had things in the bad but never expected that it would be so hard. Before entering the games he had never taken a human life. That was something he would always remember his first kill. It was actually the girl from his same district. They had made an alliance and when she thought he was sleeping tried to slit his throat. Little did she know he had grabbed a small dagger from the cornucopia and stabbed her through the heart. He watched her eyes as they disappeared from this world going on to the next. It was such a tradgy but it was strange. After he killed her the more he killed the easier it was. This obviously scared the young boy but he murdered on like it was his calling. Perhaps it was because he had won the games after all.
When he got back there was a victory tour and he was paraded all around the districts. Giving small speeches about how what he had done to win. Of course with out all the gruesome details. It was like a high when most districts cheered although some didn’t even though at that time he didn’t care. He had won and that was all that mattered. When he got back to his own district most cheered but there were some that didn’t. Mostly being friends and family of the girls life he had taken. It seemed it was all too good to be true. Because once he got home all the emotions sunk in making him an angry young man. He would viciously snap at people for no reason and had an attitude that was different. Even at times his own family didn’t recognize him.
Now he was Thirty-Nine living in Victor’s Village although he was not alone. Another women from a different district requested to be sent here. He didn’t understand why but they came from different up bringings. Leon just took the good with the bad. His parents were now deceased due to old age but that was expected. Leon now lived on his own and it was a simple life. He rarely had people in his home and if he trained he did it elsewhere. They weren’t supposed to train in this district but if they did it on the down low no one said a word. It was a different live here in District One but that was the only life he knew.
