Lukas Blair

Lukas Blair is a rebel soldier based in Thirteen who now stands as the President of the Rebellion. He is best friends with the Mockingjay and is currently in a relationship with Cora Cane. He has a younger sister named Lila and no other living biological family.

Early Life
Lukas Blair was born in District Thirteen to his mother, Julia Oden, as his father had left upon the announcement of her pregnancy. Lukas has never, and will never, meet him. For the first five years of his life, it was just him and his mother. But then Lukas' mom became pregnant again, this time with a girl. The father was Julia's then-boyfriend, Elias Slayte, and nine months later Lukas had gotten a sister named Lila. Home life was a lot better for Lukas from then on out, as financial issues started to resolve themselves because of the new source of income and the young boy grew to enjoy taking care of his kid sister. Lukas was a loud child, always messing around with things that he didn't have any business with and sneaking off into darker, secluded parts of the underground district with his friends. Thirteen had always been extremely strict on scheduling and rules, something that he just could not get behind. Despite this distaste for authority, Lukas always respected his mother. The same could not be said for his step-father, who Lukas was rather indifferent to, truly only tolerating Elias because it was his little sister's dad.

Military Beginnings
The Blair-Slayte family was steadily working-class, his mother working in textile production and his step-father in nuclear weapon production. Lukas, at age fourteen, began his district-sanctioned military training and introduction, which was something he decided to pursue, as he was not particularly book-smart and had found that the life of a soldier appealed to him. Along the way, he made many friends in training, including his best friend Noa who would, eventually, become his Vice President of District Thirteen. For several years following, Lukas' life remained typically for a teen in Thirteen, but it would all begin to change when stirrings of the rebellion began in his home district.

Julia Oden
Lukas was very close to his mother while he was growing up. For the first five years of his life, it was just him and his mom, so naturally, they had a tight bond. Julia was always encouraging in whatever Lukas decided to do with his time, and later, his future. Likewise, Lukas' mother was the only authority figure that he ever respected when he was younger, the sole exception to his troublemaker-type tendencies. The largest rift in their relationship was when Julia had remarried to Elias Slayte following the birth of Lukas' sister -- the boy had felt betrayed, in a way, because he was only six-years-old and felt as if she was going to replace him. Of course, this didn't happen and he can hardly remember any of it nowadays. As he got older and words of another rebellion began to stir in his home district, Julia became very outspoken about her beliefs and in her wish for another war. Lukas reciprocated these views because his mother's word was gospel to him. She inspired him to become more involved in his military service. It was at this time that he started to work hard and rise through the rankings. Julia was so proud when he got his first major promotion.

When Lukas was almost twenty-three (this entire part is still under construction), Julia was killed in a factory incident. She had recently changed jobs because of demand for weapons production in Thirteen. Lukas, unsurprisingly, was devastated for months following the news and isolated himself further from his stepfather. he would vow to himself to carry on the spirit and determination of his mother -- he started to take everything seriously, listen to his commanding officers, and kept his sister close to him as often as he could.
