Orion Orta of District Six

[Orion]

Name: Orion Orta

Nickname: None

Gender: Male

District: Six, the District of Science

Strength: In telekinesis, Orion can move an item of fifty-five pounds a maximum of six yards. For every five pounds less, a foot is added. So, he can move an item of ten lbs. up to nine yards and a 130-lb. item one yard. The latter leaves him too weak to stand, though, and the former makes him too weak to fight.

Age: 16 years

Appearance: See Picture

Personality: Orion, being from District Six, is very intelligent. Though, he excels even by District Six's standards. He knows twice as many formulas as the average sixteen-year-old in his district, and can calculate speed based only on estimations of the necessary dimensions. He is good at guessing; he can tell distance to within a tenth of an inch, and time to within a second. Though he is often successful in experiments, he has also has failed several.

Orion's knowledge is largely chemistry-based; though he is also skillful in several other fields. He knows the chemical compositions of many plants and animal fluids, gross as it is. He also knows how they react to each other, and people, and thus can make many chemicals- medicines, acids, poisons, and even exploding ones.

Socially, Orion can be classified as a nerd. He is most at home in the lab, away from the Peacekeepers and even the drama of his family life with his parents and his little sister. He is very literate and likes to read and write extensively. He is generally happy and optimistic, and likes fine detail. When something goes wrong, he mentally makes a list and picks the best outcome to help cheer himself and others up. He is awkward around girls he likes, and even outside tries to stay away from them. He cares about his family, and has signed up for Tesserae every year he could (total amount in Other section).

History: Orion was born to Kriss and Argent Orta of District Six. He was raised like the other children of District Six, and soon showed signs of higher intelligence. This became obvious when he finished thirty advanced chemistry and physics questions in six minutes- averaging five per minute. This was much faster than every other student, obviously. The school, after many exams, skipped him four grades, and (assuming grades work the same way in this universe as they do in ours) graduated at the age of fourteen.

Orion worked in the labs despite how young he was, and shocked and impressed all of the scientists. Some resented him because of his obvious affinity for science, but he was extremely helpful in many places. Over the next two years, he more than proved himself.

At home, Orion's parents had a baby girl when he was seven, and he became her role model. After a few years, one could tell that she wasn't gifted as her brother, but was still smarter than average. Orion taught her many things, and cared for her very much, growing quickly into the role of the protective older brother. Since the age of twelve, he signed up for every member of his family, despite his parents's protests. Due to the many enterings of his name in the Games, he is currently waiting to be reaped into them.

Code: Accepted

Other: According to my calculations, Orion is entered in the Games five times because of his age, and four times more for each of the five years, bringing the total to a whopping 25 times!!
