Player Name: Gray Username: graycalls Current/former characters: None
Sleeper Character: Thresh Username: wheatfield Canon: The Hunger Games Canon point: After he’s killed Clove, but before his run in with the wolf muttations. Age: 18 Appearance: At 6’5, Thresh is a massive man. Dark of skin and hair, like most people from his district, he proved physically intimidating enough to have the Career tributes invite him into their pack. His time spent in the fields working game him impressive strength, and it shows, despite his malnutrition. He holds himself with pride, not letting anyone think less of him for all that he came out of an outlying district.
Personality: If anyone deserves the description ‘strong and silent’, it’s Thresh. In the entirety of the book, he has one line. In his interview with Ceasar Flickerman, he’s described as strong and silent, often only replying with one or two words at a time. His strong, silent, intimidating presence is powerful enough that it convinced the Career tributes, those from the rich districts, to try and bring him into their early alliance, which he turns down instantly, not wanting to ally himself with them, knowing that they would turn on him first.
That said, he has a sound strategic mind, as instead of heading into the bloodbath at the start of the Game, he turns and runs. He finds a wheat field, which is ‘as tall as Peeta’s shoulders’. This field, as well as being a reliable source of food, shelter, and water is also very reminiscent of his home district. This implies that, although he is physically intimidating, he’s not all that intimidating in person. This is combined with the fact that he spared Katniss’ life, simply because Katniss tried to help Rue, the female tribute from his district. That said, however, he isn’t all gentleness, for, just as he spared Katness for helping Rue, he bludgeoned Clove to death with a rock for her part in Rue’s death.
Thresh is from District 11, one of the strictest Districts in the outlying group. If a citizen steals food, they would be whipped. If they steal technology, they would be killed. In District 12, the government is to be laughed at and dealt with. In District 11, it is to be feared. As such, Thresh has a healthy fear of those in power, doing his complete best to not to attract the attention of those in power, although he loves seeing them getting their comeuppance.
On awaking in the Caves, he would react with paranoia, choosing to retreat into his given ‘quarters’ rather than face those around him. He would have a hard time accepting that he dreamt any of his previous life, as, after all, who would choose to dream of servitude, starvation, and certain death? That said, once he realizes that those around him really aren’t going to try and kill him, he will attempt to make a new life for himself in this strange new place.
Powers/skills: Thresh would gain the ability to manipulate his strength and dexterity, so that he’s either average at both, really strong while not that dexterous, or really dexterous while not that strong. Canonically, he’s extremely strong, for all his malnutrition. His job in his district was most likely in the crop fields.
