Birth Name — Xi Luhan

Birth Date — April 20, 1994 (year altered)

District — 8 - providing textiles

Weapon Choice — Luhan has not quite a specific weapon for he is used to the techniques of camouflaging he has developed after all those years dyeing thread with paintbrushes which triggered him to understand which colour perfectly describe a said item/condition such as a tree, grass (though he has to make sure he doesn't get trampled over. Other than that, he used to play with the colours a lot and sometimes even created new types of designs and patterns which eventually became the main clothing trend for the Capitol later. Luhan is quick on his hands and paints as fast as you can blink which makes him an advantage later in the arena.

Details —

Strengths ; Fingers are always quite the main attraction of Luhan for he has 'wings' on them. In a detailed version of this explanation, put it simply that his fingers are always the quickest and gets away with mostly anything, putting the blame on somebody else. Being quite a trickster when he was a small child, he enjoys stealing items and strangely, returning them in a, erm, 'good' state. Luhan is quick on his legs though not that much when he sprints from house to house delivering specially-dyed threads. Brawns are not always complete without brains, and you should thank Luhan's mind for that. He works wonders in stragetic planning and tactics but he wishes he were the one to do all the walking, but he could always rely on his wits when he gets caught. Other people's tongue wouldn't much convince but when Luhan speaks the same thing, people tend to believe him because he has this pleading voice that makes people want to believe you so badly you'd feel guilty for abandoning him.

Weaknesses ; Luhan lacks in physical qualities, only bearing one which are good legs. Though good legs doesn't mean a stable upper body. He tends to have headaches and dizzy spells if spent running on ups and lows for too long which sometimes makes him faint. Other than that, Luhan has terribly low immunity which means it is very common for diseases to spread to him. He's not that talented in carrying heavy objects because he's only used to carrying to light objects such as leaves, thread, needles etc. The unbearable weight of many can make his back sore which is usually not a good thing for him to suffer. Because of his small figure, light skin, childish face, many will be able to target him as a weakling. Lastly, Luhan's sense of direction is not even that close to perfection and even though if you have left a mark on your path, he'll just step on it so I advise to never rely on him as your tour guide around the arena.

Trivia ; Luhan bears a battle scar after a fight with a cat which he proudly won though he was punished for inflicting damage to the poor cat. He recently has another scar on his finger after he accidently pricked himself on a needle when shamelessly trying to show-off to the mayor his 'fine' sewing skills which incredibly failed. The birthmark of Luhan stays in the exact same spot — the lower part of his right shoulder blade.

Personality — Luhan is everything you could imagine if you were given to think about the definition of the word 'annoying'. He's a liar, prankster, thief, trickster, party pooper, anything. Though people think these qualities set a bad influence in life, actually it's beneficial during the Games. Food is a topic Luhan would be very picky in and food that he dislikes are the ones mostly likely for him to barf out. Arrogance is one of the things you should expect from him for he believes he can do anything (though that's not true, he's just being very, very arrogant) such as carry a huge rock, or sing Panem's anthem while standing on top a motorcycle seat. Luhan just has that much amount of imagination who people would mostly start telling him about reality which would upset him.

Background — Luhan has that background story he wouldn't like to share with other people. So it all started when his parents abandoned him on the quiet edges of District 8, his parents committed suicide right in front of his eyes which messed up his childhood. Luhan cried and cried at the foot of his dead parents until sun rise. Peacekeepers strangled him, pulled him side to side so horribly he thought his arms would fall off. When he was taken to custody with other orphaned children, that was when Luhan started to speak ill of the Capitol, blurting out how unfair it was they were to keep all the luxury why as we districts were to behave proper and deliver them their stuff, how the Capitol pay back for our kindness by rounding up 24 tributes and killing them all whereas leaving one to live and nothing good actually happens, how the Capitol is greedy and always more of 100, everything that makes up the bad side of the Capitol. Everything he said was true, but the other children didn't want to believe him. Once the Peacekeepers heard his , they took him in for torturing. Though surprisingly he survived the pain for 6 years, when he turned 12 and also when Luhan was released from the hellhole, adoption up for grabs.

A newlywed couple adopted him and nursed him back to health, though his immune system was rather low and begins his life working in the thread store, his position mostly the one who dyed the thread. Luhan's life was all good and happiness but that all stopped when a little girl visited the store with her mother to order a set of thread. Luhan was really happy about that and looked forward to playing with the little girl but after she showed him a drawing of a man and a woman dying and at beside them was a boy crying with two Peacekeepers behind him. This triggered him and his smile recedes. How did the little girl know? It couldn't be coincidence. It was perfectly accurate, perfectly clear that that little boy in the drawing was none other than Xi Luhan.
