꒰district 6꒱⌒✩RUST ON THE RAILS. ✧˚₊˚- "A ticket one way, no stops, no turns back home." MARS THURSGOOD ˖⁺.꒷꒦ Mars Thursgood grew up in the smog choked railway hubs of District Six. His father, Sun, was a bitter mechanic who secretly sabotaged Capitol supply lines. His mother worked for the Capitol, mapping train logistics to keep the family safe from her husband’s treason. Trapped between their silent war, Mars’s sister became a depressed morphling addict. One night, she wandered into a restricted freight car and was shot dead by a Peacekeeper. Grief broke the family. To keep his parents from starving, Mars took out years of tesserae. By 17, his name flooded the reaping bowl, weighted by a mountain of debt. Yet, the train yards adored him. He was nicknamed the Red Star for his effortless idea to put red stars on a tribute car for his girlfriend, Woella. Mars was a natural teaser but never rude, confident but never cocky. When his name was drawn, Six watched their brightest star get pulled from the sky.
