CANON: Hornblower AU/CRAU
CHARACTER: Horatio Hornblower
BASIC INFORMATION: His application is here for the more down and dirty, but the gist is that this Horatio has grown up to the ripe old age of fifteen-sixteen-ish in the Hunger Games universe, and has been dragged to Starhue out of his first night in the Arena as a tribute, having had to make his first kill shortly after the bloodbath, a little less than a year after watching his best friend killed in the previous Games (which is eerily more similar to his original tv canon than one would think). This, on top of his underlying shy awkwardness and lack of a way with words (and the underlying active abuses he suffered around this age in his original canon which unsurprisingly fit into the AU like a glove), makes him a very quiet shadow of a person who is fairly certain everyone else in the world could turn on him at any second.

CURRENT PLANS: To farm???? He grew up on a mass farm and had semi-recently graduated from fruit harvester to farmhand, so he just. wants to be. on his farm. farming. But also, because the world is infinitely less oppressive here than what he's used to, he'd like to meet other people just enough to learn things from them. Grow exotic plants? Let him help so he can learn. Raise some crazy animal? Teach him about husbanding them. Make some amazing artisan good out of things he himself knows how to grow? First of all, assure him you aren't a wizard, but then let him see he wants to learn.
WANTED CR: Mentors. Also just normal friends. Horatio has had a very, very lonely life, and he's slow to trust (or even just converse if not forced), but he badly needs just. other people in his life. So, yes. People to teach him things and people to draw him out of his shell a little more. If you can give him both, congratulations, you've adopted an overly skinny teenager who still will barrel roll out of the room if you give him too much positive attention at once.

ANYTHING ELSE?
