Life
Early Life
Sawyer was born in the year of the 43rd Hunger Games to two technological brainiacs. As a result of being an only child, he was severely overprotected growing up, kept under close supervision by parents who didn't pay attention to much else that he did. However, in his school years, Sawyer developed pyromaniac tendencies and made a hobby of setting fires and explosions in his school and neighbourhood. He was never caught, taking care that no one - particularly not his parents - ever found out it was him. As a teenager, Sawyer shed the reputation of being a good-for-nothing 'dweeb' that he'd acquired, and developed into a regular cool kid. He had frequent flings with girls he knew who regarded him as the boy who was bad enough to get kicked out of school at 15 (the truth is he flunked out) and the boys all respected him with an awe at his total lack of conscience and easy, sarcastic attitude.
59th Hunger Games
The Reaping
Sawyer was Reaped along with Cassandra Hearsh in District Three's 59th Reaping. At first, he didn't realise it was his name that was called, and when he did he walked up to the stage without protest and accepted his place. He received a brisk goodbye from his parents, realising that they had loved him as parents should all along, and were proud of him even though they knew about his pyromania. His father gave him a cigarette, which he kept as his token for the duration of the Games.
Training Centre
In the Training Centre, Sawyer met Sapphire Ross and Charas Harp, introducing himself to them at the Firemaking station. He suggested forming an alliance and they accepted, calling themselves Misfit Toys. Sawyer received a score of 11 out of 12 in his Private Training Session, probably blowing stuff up and basically scaring the crap out of the Gamemakers. This made him seem a dangerous enemy for many of the other tributes. During Sawyer's interview with Caesar Flickerman, he mentioned that his Training Score proved he knew what he was doing, and went on to openly tell the audience, and his parents watching in the District, about his love for setting fires - a shock to those watching, and the interviewer. Sawyer left to prepare for the first day in the Arena with the immortal words "Piss off."
Bloodbath
Sawyer entered the Bloodbath and noticed how cold it was before anything else, disrupting his concentration and meaning that he was slightly slow off the start line. Barely seconds had passed of him running towards the Cornucopia and his allies before Sapphire was stabbed through the eye by Michael Smith, meaning he was down to only one teammate. However, Charas was proving her worth - killing tribute after tribute as the Bloodbath advanced. He came across a crowbar on the ground after attacking Dysis Admea, and proceeded to collect a bag, an empty water jug, pliers, two pairs of snowshoes, torso armour and 15 feet of bandages before fleeing the Bloodbath with Charas, having been dealt only a tiny amount of damage.
Day 1
Along with Charas, Sawyer left the Cornucopia and advanced to the Frozen River to recover. By some stroke of luck (call it a random event), Sawyer and Charas found 15 more feet of bandages and a bundle of medicinal herbs. They started a fire and exchange useful items, eating and resting before setting off to avoid any other advancing tributes.
