0 · 385 views · located in Panem

a character in “The 10th Annual Hunger Games”, originally authored by FamishedPants, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Name: Zachary Conway

Age: 17

Gender:Male

District: 12

Personality: Zach is a kind and caring young man....most of the time. During a few fights with other kids, he has been known to be unforgiving to bullies and since then has taught himself how to fist fight, making him the best in the whole district. Most of the time, he's sarcastic, humorous and overall a joker. Though, he gets really passionate about defending friends and such. Zach has always been nervous around girls whenver "Dating" or anything related to that comes up, so, he shys away.

History: Being born in District 12 meant that Zach didn't grow up too wealthy, in fact, he grew up poor, just as all the others in that district. Zach had to do much manuel labor, making him stronger if he hadn't. Add to that the constant walking around, and he's got good stamina as well. He has a good relationship with his father and mother, whom now are both sick and bedridden. He hates the fact that he'll probably end up dead and his parents soon after. But, he hides those feelings away so as not to frusterate himself. He has taught himself (Through older books) how to read people's faces, making him see decievers without much effort.

Weapons: Sword, fists.

Weaknesses: Flirtatious women, family history

Strengths: Strong, edurance, Face-reading.

Token: A coin his mother bought him. "Even gods fall." is inscribed as a word of confidence to him.

Appearance: Zach has blonde hair and blue eyes. He's also well built, having an athletic build. He is around 5'11 and weighs about 185 Lbs. Normally seen wearing a faded black short sleeved shirt with faded jeans, but also known to wear jackets.

Crush: Since he shys away from such matters, he doesn't have one....yet. Though he did have his eye on a certain girl......

Personality

His father taught him to always treat people how you want to be treated. He took his father's words to heart and became a very nice young man. One of his other pieces of advice was to always treat ladies with utmost respect, and again, he follows this too. Though, he is shy when they flirt or talk about love. Zach hates bullying. In fact, people who look down on people in general just piss him off. One of the few things that do. He tries to be on everyone's good side, though he is known to play favorites occasionally. After teaching himself how to read a person's intentions through their face, he usually doesn't call them out on it unless he has reason to.

Equipment

A sword.

History

Born in the poorest district, he never had too much going for him. He worked everyday since he was young and has built up strength and endurance doing so. In the harsh living conditions of district 12, people tend to get into fights about the dumbest of things. Zach tends to end these, especially if its someone older picking on a younger person. He loves his parents immensley and hopes to get back home to them so he can take care of them, as they are currently bedridden.

So begins...

I woke with a start. I had a moment of pure happiness, pure bliss, pure ignorance. Until I remembered why I woke. Today was the day of the reaping. The day my district wished never happened. I threw back the thin blanket I was sleeping under, and gently woke my sleeping siblings alongside me.

"Tawni.... Cam.... good morning." I whispered.

My siblings were one of the few people I talked to. Tawni blinked blearily and smiled at me. Her look suddenly changed when she remembered the day, too. Tawni was no longer eligible for the reaping, she had turned 19 this year. I turned to my brother. He was lying on the bed, his bottom lip quivering. I hugged him tight and gave him a kiss. He was still too young to be picked out. We all got out of our bed and made our way to the table. Mother and Father were sitting there already, with plates of bread and eggs waiting for us, a rare treat we got only on the day of the reaping. We sat down at the table and began to devour our delicious meals. We finished and began to get ready, all in complete silence. They do this for me, in respect of my wishes not to talk. I washed myself quickly, there was not enough water to be properly clean, but at least I looked okay. I walked out to find a beautiful outfit awaiting me. It was a dainty pink colour, with a ribbon that tied up at the back. It was one of my mother's. I got into the dress with a little help from my sister, who also did my hair back in a side dutch braid, an old family tradition. I looked at myself in the mirror.

"You look beautiful." said Tawni.

I smiled and helped her do her own hair. We were ready for the reaping.


The crowd shifted uneasily. I breathed in slowly, telling myself not to be scared. It was a talent of mine, keeping calm. I snuck a glance over at my family, who were waiting over the other side of the square. I licked my lips. The escort drawled on and on in a dulcet tone. He was tall and handsome, but ridiculously styled. He had dark hair, which was spiked to the point you could probably spear an apple on it. Not that anyone in my district would try, we're starving enough already. He gave a small laugh. He walked over to the bowl. The next things that happened were all in slow motion.

"Our female tribute for District 12 this year is...... Jordyn Ellis!" he called.

My eyes widened. I walked out towards the stage. I heard my brother call out, "I volunteer!" in his cute little voice, and laughter. A peacekeeper took him back to Tawni and told him, "Maybe next year, champ". My head was spinning. I felt sick. The male tribute was called out.

The man with the spiky hair beckoned for me to come on to the stage. I glanced over at my family. Tawni was in tears. Cam was kicking and screaming. Mother was sobbing into Father's arms.

"The honor of taking place in this year's hunger games for District 12's male position goes to.....Zachary Conway!"

I looked into the crowd for the male tribute.

"Wow, thanks. I can't believe I get to have the honor of dying in a game for the amusement of others! And the best part? My parents are going to die from a sickness while watching me die! Wow! Gee wiz, that's so awesome!" I heard him say.

Some kids started to laugh. Huh, laugh all you want, you're not the one being chosen. I finally saw him, pushing through the crowd to the front. He was a tall boy, with blonde hair that almost reached his eyes. He was very handsome, but I avoided eye contact.

"Don't worry. I'll make sure to kick one in the nuts, just for you!" he called out.

"District 12, I give you...... this year's tributes!"

Zach watced as the female was chosen for this year's game. What a shame, she was beautiful. She didn't have the look of a killer and this appearance was only fortified as her younger brother tried to volunteer. Sadly, he was too young and could not do so. It's too bad he couldn't volunteer for her, but he had his parents to look after, and nothing would keep him from that.

By now, he was drifting off. He never bought anything, so his name was only in there once. So, he had virtually no chance in being picked. Though, as if to smack him in the face, fate called in the form of an annoying voice.

"The honor of taking place in this year's hunger games for District 12's male position goes to.....Zachary Conway!" the voice caught his attention. "Please, step up!"

"Well, fuck!" he said in response, though it was under his breath. Promptly moping his way up to the podium, he was "gifted" with the honor of being the next person from his district to die. "Wow, thanks. I can't believe I get to have the honor of dying in a game for the amusement of others!" he said leaking sarcasm. "And the best part? My parents are going to die from a sickness while watching me die! Wow! Gee wiz, that's so awesome!" he took his place next to his fellow victim.

A few kids in the crowd started both laughing and crying. These were mostly his friends and kids that he had protected from bullies, and they loved his humor but at the same time were devastated at the revelation that their friend was going to be pitted in an arena where he was to fight to the death. Zach disliked the looks on their faces, and in an effort to cheer them up, he proclaimed.

"Don't worry. I'll make sure to kick one in the nuts, just for you!" he laughed, though underneath it was his true feelings. Worry.

((OOC: Okay, my bad. Let's get this thing rollin!))

Zach waited in a smaller room it looked not unlike an office. He was supposed to wait for his loved ones. Regretfully, this was not so, as his parents weren't healthy enough to get out of their beds. He was however, greeted by a few friends.

"Zach... why'd they choose you?" one sobbed. He was a bit shorter and skinnier, he happened to be a kid Zach protected from a bully.

"I'm not sure, Jacob. Things just happen. Take care of my parents for me if you will, please?" Zach said in a softer tone that showed no hint of his previous sarcasm.
The fact that he was probably going to die actually hit him finally.

"No! You beat up bullies for us! You can beat them!" one shouted with tears streaming down his face.

"I'm sorry, but bullies and murderers are a different thing. I'd like to say that I'll be okay, but I don't want to lie and break a promise. You guys take care...." Zach wasn't tearing up, though his face appeared as if it were.

A few men came to drag them out of the room.

"Here! Take this!" one shoted, handing him a coin. "It's from your parents! A good luck charm!" with those final words, the others were dragged out of the room.

He looked down at the coin, and took the words to heart. It gave him a bit more confidence in his upcoming battle. Soon he'd be dragged to a train and forced to fight others to the death. But for now, just the train.

"Even gods fall..."

(OOC NOTE - @FamishedPants - I'm really sorry, I'm making up all the NPCs in this! Would you like to make the mentor?)

The guards came back for me. They took me outside, where another pair of guards were holding my fellow tribute. They took us to the train, and forced us inside. I was in awe of what I saw. A beautifully decorated table, with polished silverware and more food than I had encountered in my life. A crystal chandelier, hanging above an enormous television set and black leather couch. There was a hallway, presumably leading down to the bedrooms we would be staying in for the night. I stared down the hallway, and got a fright when the spiky haired man appeared from down it. He was beaming, and I noticed his teeth were strangely white. He decided to introduce himself.

"Hello there tributes! I am Loganin Bashworth, it is an absolute PLEASE to meet you both!" he said in an annoyingly cheerful voice.

I guessed it was an invitation to introduce ourselves. I took a deep breath and pretended I was talking to my little brother.

"Mynameisjordynellis." I whispered.

"Sorry, darling, you're going to have to speak up." he said.

I knew it was useless, because I was a selective mute. In my case, only able to talk to people I know or trust. I was never really able to say more than a few words to anyone other than my family. I would just have to wing it.

"My name is Jordyn Ellis. I'm actually a selective mute, I don't really like talking to people." I said quite fast.

I sighed in relief. I had managed to say it. He looked at me as if I was a small animal with a broken limb.

"Oh, dear! I'm so sorry, you don't have to talk if you don't want to." he gushed.

He turned to the other tribute, the handsome one with the blonde hair.

"Well, then. How about you introduce yourself?" he asked him.

(OOC: Nah, it's fine. Go for it if you wish, I end up screwing NPC's up. :D)

With a push, Zach was forced into the train by the guards or "Peacemakers" as they're called. He was soon met up with by the other tribute, a fine looking girl. It really was a shame. Others'd probably say the same about him. He was a pretty good looking boy, he just never really took advantage of it.

When he observed the room, he instantly could tell that only those of District One ever really saw stuff as luxurious as the commodities in the train. A crystal chandalier among a huge television set. The comfy-looking black leather couch was a good addition to. Needless to say, it was aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.

Down a hallway that appeared to lead to the restrooms and even bedrooms, a, no, THE spiky haired prick appeared as if on que.

"Hello there tributes! I am Loganin Bashworth, it is an absolute PLEASE to meet you both!" he said in an annoyingly cheerful voice.

Something about his voice really rustled Zach's jimmies. Normally, he wasn't agressive, but the tone of the man's voice made him want to punch the dude in the face, with his foot. If that even makes sense.

"Mynameisjordynellis." I whispered.

The girl mumbled, though it was inaudible.

"Sorry, darling, you're going to have to speak up." he said.

Zach still had the urge to punch the dude in the face, though it was slightly off-put by the girl.

"My name is Jordyn Ellis. I'm actually a selective mute, I don't really like talking to people." I said quite fast.

Great, the last person he'll probably ever talk to was a "Selective" mute. Guess it's just his luck. It's not like she can't talk, she WON'T talk. "Silence is golden," he figured after a minute.

"Well, then. How about you introduce yourself?" he asked him.

After apologizing and assuring her she didn't have to speak, the man turned to Zach and asked him to introduce himself.

"I happen to be Zachary Conway, good sir. I do hope we can maintain a fine relationship before the enevitable ending of my short life. Do you have any tea?" Zach mocked in an older english accent. He let it simmer before turning to a more serious and annoyed face.

"But seriously, let's just get this over with. I've got a life to lose."

Zach then dismissed the man, who didn't even know how to respond. He gave Jordyn a warm smile before relaxing himself onto the couch without another word and flipping on the television. At least he got to watch HDTV before he died.

"I happen to be Zachary Conway, good sir. I do hope we can maintain a fine relationship before the enevitable ending of my short life. Do you have any tea?" he mocked.

I looked swiftly over at Loganin, who didn't take kindly to being made fun of.

"But seriously, let's just get this over with. I've got a life to lose." he said.

I was slightly taken aback at his boldness. Loganin was staring at Zachary with his mouth slightly agape. I guessed that he was not used to being addressed carelessly. I looked back over at Zachary. He smiled at me, then relaxed onto the couch and turned on the television. Well, he certainly settled in quickly. I though about joining him, but decided I would do so later. I wandered down the hallway. I found two rooms near the end. I opened the door to one, and found it was a bedroom. It had a large bed with blue covers, a wooden bedside table and a nice view of outside the train. I walked in and closed the door behind me. A mirror was hanging on the back of the door. I brushed a bit of hair off my face, then stared at myself. I wanted to go back outside and watch television with Zach, but I knew there would be a conversation eventually. An idea suddenly came to me. I would build up my confidence, so I could talk to him. How hard could it be? I mean, I talked to our escort without major trouble just before. I practised what I was going to say for a few minutes, then decided to go and try it out. I nervously smoothed out my dress and walked outside. He was still watching TV, good. I went to sit beside him. I gulped, but when I looked at him, I knew I didn't have to practice those lines. I knew I could trust him.

"Um, hi, it's nice to meet you. I, uh, hope we can be friends in the, um, short time we have before dying." I said quietly.

Zach watched as his fellow tribute appeared from her little adventure which probably had her going to one of the rooms. As she spoke softly and almost in audibley, he could tell she was trying her hardest not to freeze up, or run out the room. He gifted her with a warm smile before speaking.

"I'd love that....and don't worry, I won't let any harm come to a fellow District 12-er while I'm alive." he stated in a soft tone. "I just wish there was something good on T.V before the games..." he turned to face her with his full attention.

"I don't think I properly introduced myself. I am Zachary Conway, but you can call my Zach!" he stated cheerfully as he extended his hand. "If I looked mopey or anything, it was only to screw with whatshisface."

Zach smiled warmly at me.

"I'd love that....and don't worry, I won't let any harm come to a fellow District 12-er while I'm alive." he stated in a soft tone. "I just wish there was something good on T.V before the games..." he turned to face me with his full attention.

"I don't think I properly introduced myself. I am Zachary Conway, but you can call my Zach!" he stated cheerfully as he extended his hand. "If I looked mopey or anything, it was only to screw with whatshisface."

Zach had the sort of attitude that could make anyone feel good. He had aura of humor and sarcasm around him, and I coudn't help but to trust him. I usually didn't trust people easily, but something told me that I could. I took his hand and shook it, and returned the smile.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, uh, Zach." I said.

I didn't really know what to say, I had never really talked to anyone apart from my family.

"Um, are you looking forward to seeing the Capitol? If this is just a sample of Capitol life, then I can't even imagine what it's going to be like." I said.

"Um, are you looking forward to seeing the Capitol? If this is just a sample of Capitol life, then I can't even imagine what it's going to be like." I said.

"I'd imagine it'd be all people with wierd hair styles. I mean, we've only got a sample of the people there, so...." he looked around for Loganin before continuing. "...yeah, I might look forward to it, just for laughs, and I guess I might like some fancy food or whatnot." he stretched his arms and yawned. "If I heard correctly, we're supposed to meet another person on this ride, a mentor or such? Not completely sure..."

"If I heard correctly, we're supposed to meet another person on this ride, a mentor or such? Not completely sure..."

I nodded my head in agreement. All Capitol hairstyles would probably be ridiculous. And, as if on cue, a woman appeared from down the hallway. She was tall and strong-looking, and had dark hair that flowed to her waist. She had beautiful blue eyes. She smiled, then walked over to us. I guessed she was our mentor.

"Hi there. I am Tabitha Gosche, your mentor. You two must be Jordyn and Zachary, correct?" she said in a smooth voice.

I nodded again. I wondered how she had won the games, she would probably tell us later.

"Well, you two should probably go and get ready, we are going to eat lunch soon." she said.

I got up and walked down the hallway to my temporary room. I had a look around my room, and found a door leading to a bathroom. I found a dresser inside, filled with brightly coloured clothes. I scowled, and tried to find some simple clothes among the fancy dress ups. I managed to find a pair of jeans, and a green singlet with no decorations. I changed into them, and walked back outside, ready for the fancy Capitol delights I was about to have for lunch.

As if waiting to answer his question, their mentor appeared from the hall.

"Hi there. I am Tabitha Gosche, your mentor. You two must be Jordyn and Zachary, correct?" she said in a smooth voice.

She had some pretty long, dark hair and blue eyes, which Zach himself always found were beautiful, probably because he had them. Regardless, she wasn't the worst looking person in the world, so he was fine with this.

"Well, you two should probably go and get ready, we are going to eat lunch soon." she said.

"Sounds like a plan." he commented before standing up and following Jordyn until he reached his room.

His room was probably the same as her's, though he may be mistaken as he didn't really look inside. The area had a small wooden table near the bed, which had an alarm clock on it, as well as some mini statue of a bird or something. The bed however, was white. Just white. It had white sheets, blankets, and pillows. This was in contrast to the reddish wallpaper that covered the room, surrounding it with griffons and other beasts. Someone must've been bored when they were designing.

He looked around a bit more to find a dressor. Upon inspection of it, he found a bunch of clothes that looked wierd, and probably felt wierd too. He decided against hopping the bandwagon and wearing clothes that made it look like he was unsure of his sexuality and instead went for the jeans and black t-shirt that he found hidden in the bottom of the dressor.

With a quick change, he was done and looking better than he had before, because his clothes then were all worn out and dirty. After admiring himself in the mirror for a brief second, he opened the door and walked back into the main room, ready for whatever it was that was to be served. Hopefully, their food wouldn't be as bad as their hairstyles.

I walked down the hall, back to the main room. I saw Zach already sitting at the table, presumably waiting for Loganin, Tabitha and me. I gave him a smile, and took the seat beside him. I eyed the treats on the table, they had every kind of food possible, just sitting there waiting to be eaten. Soon, Loganin and Tabitha appeared from down the hallway, and took the seats opposite us. I could tell that Loganin was eager to get started.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Dig in!" he announced with a cheerful glint in his eyes.

I didn't have to be told twice. I filled my plate with a little of each Capitol delicacy. Beef, potatoes, salad, my plate was soon full. I looked over at Loganin's plate. If I thought my plate was full, it was nothing compared to the amount he was eating. I glanced back at my food and licked my lips. I began to devour my food, my meagre breakfast back in District 12 seemed so long ago. Soon I had finished my plate. I was full, but was tempted to try the piles of desserts in front of me. I treated myself, but took no more than a bite of each. After desset, I was full to bursting. I didn't know what to do next, so I went back to my room to watch the view outside the train for a while. The life of a Capitol person sure was a luxurious one.

Zach returned the smile that Jordyn had given him before she sat in the chair directly next to him. He wasn't sure on how big the train was exactly, but it must've been bigger than it had seemed, seeing as Loganin kept disappearing. After a few minutes of waiting, Loganin and Tabitha came down from the hallway.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Dig in!" he announced with a cheerful glint in his eyes.

Loganin seemed a bit more interested in the food than anyone else, except Zach, that is. He was eyeballing the food with a glare that said "It's on". He piled whatever he could onto his plate: pork, beef, potatoes, salad, tacos, and even corn. Needless to say, it may or may not have surprised the others when he finished the food and went back for the desserts, eating ice cream and peach cobbler.

He was probably a few pounds heavier when he finished. The thought of learning more about his fellow tribute crossed his mind, but she had run off into her room. He didn't want to disturb her if she had planned on sleeping, so he went to his room and layed on the white bed that he had been given for the ride. He wasn't tired, but he might as well lay down until something else occurs.

Zach closed his eyes.....

When he awoke from the nap, it was already dinner time. Loganin stood at his doorway and beckoned him to follow with his arms, not a word was said though. Zach complied and hurried with him, knocking on Jordyn's door along the way to alert her.

He arrived to a table full of meals that rivaled his lunch's. He promptly took the seat he sat in during lunch and began digging into whatever he found tasty looking, which was pretty much everything.

I must have fallen asleep while watching the view, because the next thing I heard was a knock on the door. I got up from my bed, noticing it was dark outside. I went out the door, noticing Zach and Loganin walking down the hallway too. I sped up to catch up with them, and followed them to the table. I noticed no one was talking, but didn't say anything as I didn't mind. Dinner was just as good as lunch, if not better. This time I saved more room for dessert.

When I finished dinner, I decided to go straight to bed. I was so tired, even though I had just come out of a nap. I got up from the table and bid everyone goodnight. I walked back to my room and decided to have a shower. The strange Capitol shower was difficult to work, there were plenty of options to choose from. I chose a few at random, and ended up with my body smelling like cherries and my hair smelling like vanilla. When I was done, I picked out a pair of sky blue cotton pajamas. They were very comfortable, and made lying in my already soft bed even more enjoyable. I snuggled into the bedsheets and sighed, and wished for happy dreams.

Zach suppressed a burp when he had finished his meal, not wanting to offend anybody by doing so. As soon as he finished, he decided to go to bed, which is probably what Jordyn was doing, as she headed to her room. Following her, he went to his respective room and closed the door.

Taking a shower in the morning was Zach's thing, and since it sounded like Jordyn was taking hers right now, he didn't have any reason to take one tonight. He surveyed the clothing options he had before figuring he didn't even care, as he was used to just sleeping in whatever clothes he had on, so without any delay, he promptly fell into his bed, which was almost too comfy and pulled his blankets over him.

As the darkness engulfed his vision, he saw his mother and father, both waving at him, though they didn't look happy. A strange thing to fall asleep to, but it was better than nothing.

I woke up in the morning, not remembering where I was. I had a quick moment of panic, before remembering I was on a train to the Capitol, because I had been chosen for the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games. The name even sent a shiver down my spine. I heard a knock and a voice from just outside my room, probably Loganin giving a wake up call to Zach. Soon enough, he knocked at my door and announced it was time to get up.

I yawned and got out of bed. I decided to change into something a little nicer for our arrival to the Capitol. I found a sleeveless dress in light pink, with a ribbon to tie up at the back. It wasn't too fancy but fancy enough for the Capitol. I brushed my hair so it was soft and silky, and let it fall loosely around my shoulders. It was almost time to arrive in the Capitol.

I made my way to the table, finding a delicious looking breakfast waiting for me. However, I felt slightly nauseous, and didn't want to eat much. I decided to just wait till we got to the Capitol.

Zach wasn't too happy when he awoke. Probably because it was some uneccessarily loud knocks coming from a guy that Zach wasn't too fond of, but maybe it was something else, who knows? Regardless, Zach woke up and decided to take a quick shower, it only lasted a few minutes. When he came out, he felt revived and awake.

"Guess today's the day we get to the capital..." he mumbled as he started his search for clothes to wear. His eyes came to rest on a short sleeved dress shirt that was black along with some pants that looked more like they were for a suit. He threw them on in a hurry, as he could smell breakfast.

He made his way out of his room and towards the breakfast table, again taking the same seat he had the day before. Unfortunately, Zach wasn't really a morning person in terms of when he liked to eat, and he could see the displeased look on Loganin's face when all he managed to eat was one egg and half a piece of toast.

He stood up and excused himself, not wanting another bite until sometime around lunch.

About a half hour later, the train started pulling to a stop. Zach brightened up, thankful that the train ride was finally over. He walked over to Jordyn.

"Hey, we're here. You ready?"

"Hey, we're here. You ready?" said Zach.

I gulped.

"I-I think so. I'm a little nevous, though." I said.

I stood next to him. Suddenly, there was screaming and chattering coming from outside. I jumped, and in my panic, grabbed on to Zach's hand. His hand was warm, and I didn't want to let go. I hoped he didn't mind. The train pulled completely to a stop. I closed my eyes.

"Here we go....."

Zach almost jumped when Jordyn grabbed his hand, though he didn't pull away or anything; he could tell she was nervous. In fact, he was also, but he wasn't going to let it show. He stepped out of the train, right after Loganin and with Jordyn close behind, unsure of whether to be frightened by all these wierd looking figures, or to be pissed at them.

At least he was popular....

((XD I forgot what to do next....))
