Murray Keyes (D10 Male)

Description
6 feet flat, lean and fit. Dark skin, close-cropped black hair, and dark brown eyes, usually accompanied by a huge grin.

Personality
Murray is, first of all, extremely free-spirited. He does what he wants, when he wants to do it, and heaven help the person who tries to tell him no. Hearing someone tell him that he shouldn't do something – or, worse, that he *can't* – only makes him that much more determined to try. He's a contrary person by nature, and this has led to a few issues with authority, but it's also what sets him apart from others. He's not the brightest, the strongest, or the most capable, but he's usually the most persistent, and until now that's been enough to make up for his shortcomings.

Murray is also someone who's generally quite restless and discontent with the way things are. Even if what he's doing is exactly what he wanted to do ten minutes ago, something he fought and argued for, as soon as he sees something better – or something that appears better – he'll go after that, instead. This makes him a bit indecisive, but also quite intuitive in a fight. He's not going to stick with a plan that seems to be going south, and he definitely won't get bogged down by worrying about how he should act.

His obstinate attitude, however, can sometimes make him a bit petty. If someone's gotten on his bad side, he'll often ignore any ideas they have – even if they're good ideas. He'll ignore any advice out of hand if he doesn't respect the person who's giving it, and will sometimes do the opposite of what's suggested merely out of spite. He's independent to a fault and sometimes thinks he's better off just doing his own thing. Often, as far as he's concerned, other people just seem to get in the way.

Behind his somewhat reckless, impulsive nature, however, Murray has an extremely idealized notion of how the world works. His district, the Capitol, the Games – he sees them all through rose-tinted glasses.

Backstory
The only child of two frustratingly ordinary fisherman, Murray was disobedient from a young age, never doing as he was told. His grandfather, a military veteran and a colonel in the Rebel army during the rebellion was always frustrated about Murray not having any discipline in him.
