Name: Maxim Bischoff

District: 12

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Name and Artist of Song they are Personified: What A Catch Donnie by Fall Out Boy

Weapon of Choice: Poniard

Appearance: Maxim has thick, short honey blond hair he sweeps to mostly one side, causing a bit of fringe to fall over the forehead space above his right eye. His jawline is well pronounced, and usually devoid of any stubble, which lets the casual onlooker notice his striking blue-green eyes. If Maxim were to stop slouching, he'd come to nearly 5'10," but his childhood habit reduces his height easily by an inch or two. At a glance, his toned muscle in his arms and torso seem like fat, but it's simply because of his slightly baggy cardigan he consistently juxtaposes with an only pair of black jeans.

Personality: Unlike most archetypal heroes, the pain Maxim has suffered from his parents' death and brothers' abuse has not made him strong. He rarely meets the gaze of anyone for too long, and is shy and uncomfortable in any social situation with new people, often frightened by loud voices. However, he finds solace in the familiar surroundings of his Aunt's hut, for although it would never be considered one of luxury, for him it represents safety. During his time there, he has learned to become slightly more extroverted, and takes early morning runs to bathe in the refreshing rays of the day's first light. Though he's not the best with words (his brothers only permitted him to speak when spoken to, unless he wanted to be hit again) he has a secret intelligence in a mind whose gears are constantly turning, learning, studying his surroundings.

Background: His father was a coal miner and a son of coal miners, but during a reaping 7 years ago, he was shot by Peacekeepers for voicing his dissent at a 12 year old being chosen for the Games. His mother died during child-birth and, although they don't say it, his two older siblings blame him for her death. His older twin brothers, Uriel and Metias, have taken care of him since his father's passing, but verbally/physically abused him for three years until he moved out at the age of 13 to another part of the District with his Aunt Sumery. She thankfully had some money tucked away to support the two of them, but he had to start work on the cusp of his 15th birthday to begin earning his keep.

Token: His healing cuts, reminding him pain only hurts as much as you let it
