Name: Marku

District : 2

Gender: Male

Age:16

Appearance: Marku has a pale complexion and bright green eyes. His lips a glossy pink almost always parted in a smile showing off his pearly whites. Being from one of the poorest districts his body shows the sighs of malnutrition evident from never receiving enough food. Some sights of muscle can still be observed however, from all the days working out in the fields. Auburn locks rest atop his head falling down in straight waves to the nape of his slender neck.

Personality: When in the same room with him you'll never hear a peep even though he would love to speak. He was born with a condition paralyzingly his vocal cords and leaving him without the ability to speak. Because of this he is shy and prefers to avoid people since they will most likely judge him. Instead of the company of other humans he prefers the fields of his home where he can train with a wooden sword he made out of a fallen tree. Due to his voicelessness his brain is always running and has become very intelligent.

Background : When Marku was born his father Nathan Linwood was no longer in the picture. Nathan, the last winning tribute from 2 to win the Hunger Games, returned to district 2 as a winner receiving much praise an honor. However, when seeing his girlfriend for the first time since his return home he received some shocking; she was pregnant with his baby! The news sent him packing his begs and heading to live a lavish life in the Capitol away from his illegitimate son. Seven months later the young mother gave birth to her new son giving him his strange name meaning revenge. She hoped maybe one day her son would be able to find Nathan and take revenge on him for leaving her. It was a hard life for the two of them but they managed to survive and live a very simple life. As a child growing up different from the other children people often made fun him so he spent most of his early days nestled alone in the fields or in close watch of his mother. A strong attachment between the two developed so the day he was reaped he ran to his mother and held on for dear life until the Peacekeepers pried him away to the train.

Strengths: As mentioned in his personality he is quite intelligent and is a very good strategist. Most of his life he has been training with the sword and has become quite skilled with it. Also he is a very good runner.

Weakness: His muteness is definitely a weakness. Also not being the most physically fit he wouldn't put up much of a fight against the bigger tributes. He prefers to avoid people so he wouldn't thrive well in an alliance.

Weapon: Broad Sword or any blunt weapon

Token: A silver ring his mother slid in his pocket as he was being pried away.

GAMEMAKER REACTIONS

"Annabeth, it has been approximately two hours since Marku's form arrived at your desk, yet I have not seen you even glance at it." Artemis Fowl's voice appears behind her.

"Ah! UGH Artemis! Stop sneaking around like some stalker!" Annabeth snaps at him, turning the chair around. "I'm busy ok?"

"That's a shame. We were about to discuss about our District 2 male tribute." Tris pouts her lips like a puppy, acting sad. But her eyes told the truth.

"Fine. Don't have to be so touchy about it." Annabeth grumbles and pulls out the file, skimming through the form.

"Well since I did what Artemis told me to and read Marku's paper when I was SUPPOSE to, I'll go first. Marku can't speak, which already puts him at a HUGE disadvantage before the games even begin." Tris starts.

"No dip Sherlock," Annabeth interrupts, rolling her eyes. "What a fascinating piece of information."

"As I was saying," Tris shoots daggers at Annabeth, "That was a good idea to practice with a wooden sword beforehand. Even if Marku didn't know he was going to be reaped."

"That much is very true. What about his family? Annabeth, do you have any comments about that particular subject?" Artemis gestures for Annabeth to go.

"Well, this tribute grew up without a father and I feel without a man to look up to it can really affect the way a child grows up. It could either mean that he ends up to be a tough  guy because he realizes the importance of being the man of the family or he might've grown up to be a little... girlish and skimpy. It can go any way. We'll just have to see when training starts." Annabeth waves a dismissive hand towards Tris who was glaring at her.

Clearing his throat Artemis gives each of the girls a stern glare. "I myself do not much interest towards Marku. Yes, he had a challenging childhood without a father and the non-ability to speak. I'm guessing he and his mother had a very strong bond to have gotten to where he is now. And I feel he will surprise us very soon with some unknown trait of his. But with the facts and information that are laid down in front of me at this very moment I feel this tribute does not speak to me as much as it does to someone like Tris." He gives the girls one last look before disappearing through the open door to his office.
