Age; 18
Gender; Male
District; 10
Appearance; At first glance, he does't look like much besides some common farm boy. He's a gangling boy who stands just below six feet. Even if he does look like it, he was a helpful farmhand back home. Though he's rather lanky, he has some muscle on him despite his dietary habits.
Terry had once had fair skin as most of his family had been born with. After years of working on the fields, he'd gained a heavy farmer's tan where the sleeves of his shirt stopped. He has freckles dotting across his face and body though they've grown harder to spot with the ever-growing tan. His hands are grainy and worn. His fingernails are worn down from chewing and labor. Under the stubs, there is dirt caked. He has several scars from difference situations; splinters from the old ranching equipment, cuts from fencing, and bruises from misbehaving animals.
He has large brown eyes that tend to look over things with extreme caution. His once brown hair has grown into a dull, sandy blond color. His hair had just been cut before the Hunger Games had begun. Previously, it was long enough to pull up into a ponytail. Now it hands just below the tops of his ears.
Personality;
Humble: He's a very talented young man though he prefers to not show off in front of nearly anyone. He would never take a compliment back home without thanking them profusely and telling them he didn't deserve them.
Dutiful: Terran was an obedient teen. He was given a daily list of chores and would perform them without complaining. Complaining aloud, that is. He knew he should respect those around him and therefore wouldn't voice his opinion on such menial things.
Discreet: He is a quiet young man. He was never one for public speaking or engaging conversation. He would go through an entire day just tending to the livestock and sometimes his fellow workers would barely notice he was there.
History;
Terran wasn't too terribly poor back in District 10. He was the son of a mother and father who's been quite successful with their stock. His family were a big bunch of hard workers. He has three older brothers who had all been married before Terry could even be entered into the Reaping. He has an additional two brothers; 14 and 15 respectively.
He enjoyed being around Noel and Leon, his two younger brothers. He helped his farther teach the boys the tools of the trade and protected them. Micheal, Robert, and Harry, his three older brothers, hadn't been around much past the time they married. Terry would spot them around, but didn't think much to engage himself to get to know them better. His parents, Logan and Carrie, were soft-spoken people. They had been through their own hardships and tried to make the best for their children. They had enough food to keep from going hungry, but still needed to do much labor to keep through the years.
Terry had a bad run-in with a rather temperamental Peacekeeper when he was only ten. He'd been caught at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was chasing a young piglet who'd gotten away from its pen. He was scolded by the Peacekeeper who the piglet had run in the direction of. When he reached to take the piglet back, the Peacekeeper struck him. He'd been left with a bad image of the whole government in Panem. He has a scar running up his thigh on his right left from the incidence.
Even since he was very young, Terry has always worked in the fields and farms around the animals. He felt some sort of relief from the survival aspect of his life when he was around the different livestock. Sometimes, he could be caught talking to the animals while he worked. Even though he worked primarily as a Rancher, he'd spent some time as a Butcher when he was desperately needed. It felt morbid to be chopping up the livestock he had rendered as his friends, but it was a job and it gave his family money. He gained the knowledge of the different cuts that was produced from each animal.
He went to the very limited school that District 10 provided. He didn't learn very much from it, however. He never was big into learning the simple curriculum they were given.
Token; A necklace tied with rawhide string. The charm on the end is a bull's horn that tapers down to a dull point at each end. In the center of the horn is thin, carved metal.
Skills; Terran has a good knowledge of how to care for animals. From caring for minor injuries in livestock, he could probably aid in the same type of injuries in humans. He gained some skill of how to properly butcher animals. He's handy with a pitchfork and rope thanks to his ranching. He knows how to tie and untie knots. He has a good amount of stamina and physical strength.
Weaknesses; Terry falls short when it comes to holding back his compassion. He tends to take any sob story that comes his way and it comes back to haunt him in some way.
Even if he has a lot of compassion, another weakness is that he finds it hard to trust people. This is double for people of higher power. He will go out of his way to help you when you're down, but will be very weary once you have the ability to strike him. He's a contradicting teen in these aspects.
He has a history of anxiety attacks. If something scares him too much or panics him, he get very skittish and twitchy. He has a hard time breathing and get the shakes. It isn't as bad as it was when he was younger, but still get to him at times.
