Name: Aaron Porter (or as he likes to call himself "Night Owl")

Age: 22

Bio: Despite growing up in the same average "poor man" environment as most kids in District 12, Aaron was not like most kids in that he was obsessed with superheroes and vigilantes to the point where he actually strived to be like one of them - his constant desires to be in "peak physical condition" (which his parents often acquiesced to helping out with) and to save people from danger, his tendency to try and invent useful gadgets to fulfil said desires and not to mention his extensive comic book collection have caused him some friction with his family (his parents and one sister who saw his desires to be reckless and uncontrolled) and friends (who thought the exact same way). To try and snap him back to reality, the Porters arranged an elaborate prank on Aaron's 18th where the family would be kidnapped by a criminal and Aaron himself was tasked with saving them... after he was stranded in the wilderness. Of course, Aaron was able to use his training, his smarts and creativity to get back into civilisation and take down the bad guys responsible for the heinous "crime" but just as Aaron was about to rescue the family, along come some real criminals murdering the family (save Aaron) in cold blood. While this may have left some scars on Aaron's mental state, this only served to further Aaron's aggression and recklessness. Between that fateful day and Aaron's 22nd birthday, he has tried to locate the murderers without much luck even with his extensive physical and mental training - still, he has managed to take down the odd pickpocketer and drug dealer here and there which of course put him at odds with the Peacekeeprs who saw Aaron as nothing more than a superhero wannabe and a violent vigilante. Aaron's search came to an end when he located the mastermind behind his parents' and sister's death and killed him in cold blood right in front of he arresting Peacekeeping force sent to track him down.

For his vigilante antics, he was given life imprisonment but it wasn't long before he was offered the chance to reduce his prison term if he were to participate in the Hunger Games. Of course you know where that leads us to...
