Name: Basilisk Crown

District: 5

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Height: 6'7

Personality: A cruel and cold-hearted person, Basilisk shows no emotion. He doesn't mind killing and if someone annoys him, they won't live to see the next day. Basilisk talks in a nerve-wrecking, quiet tone. People call him creepy and they try to avoid him. Except they can't. Basilisk's crimson eyes seem to make them want to go to him, it hypnotizes them. Basilisk is a hypnotist. If people meet his gaze, they will be frightened. An unknown force makes them move closer to Basilisk, his face still showing no emotion. He walks unsteady, his feet seem to not touch the floor. Basilisk is a cruel monster and if you give him a chance, an opportunity of some kind, he will kill you. He will drag you into his cave, where no one can hear your screams. He will torture you and when he is finished, he will leave you hanging on a tree, for all to see. Avoid him as you will, someday, he will find you. And when he does, the cold floors of death shall await you.

Appearance: Basilisk has black and golden blonde hair. Strangely, this combination is natural. He is a handsome young man, no one can doubt that. His face lacks emotion and his eyebrows are constantly arched. His biggest feature, however, are his serpent-like crimson eyes. His eyes seem to bring attention. One small look at his bone-chilling eyes can lead to a person's death in no time.

Weapons: Basilisk is skilled with almost every weapon imaginable. Even weapons he has never used before, he can master them in a short amount of time. This is because of his intense knowledge of weapons; something he has perfected over the years. Basilisk does have a preference of weapons, however. His favorite weapon, by far, are metal chains. With the chains, he can use them as a rope, a lasso. Except he can hit harder as well as deadlier. He can suffocate a tribute by wrapping the chain against their throat, pulling at the chain and then releasing it as the tribute falls to the ground, their neck torn and raw. Basilisk can whip it at their back, their shrieks of pain loud as Basilisk continues to whip them, not stopping until their cold corpses lay in front of him. Basilisk is also excellent with throwing knives and poison. He can throw the knives far and his aim is amazing. He can dip the knives in the poison, making the already deadly blades even deadlier.

Backstory: No one really knows that much about Basilisk. To them, he is just a myth, something used to scare kids into their beds. Except he's not a myth. He's an actual, living being. They do have one thing right, though. This is his story. His name used to be Draco Gleam. Draco was born an orphan. His father died long before the day of his birth and his mother died the moment Draco saw light. The hospital gave him to an orphanage. But no one there approached Draco. They were all scared of him. They called him the devil's child in disguise, a demon. A normal day for Draco was getting stoned by the kids. The adults didn't stop them for they thought the kids were doing right. Draco would run but he would be tackled down. They would tie him and they would continue to throw stones at him. Draco was made bloody, his body as red as his eyes. You know, was it not for the kids throwing stones at him, Draco might've not have become the person he was. But sadly, the stoning wouldn't stop and Draco had enough. His body was covered with scars, with bumps. His once beautiful features were replaced by scars. Draco wanted out, he wanted his suffering and pain to end. He attempted a suicide. He put a knife against his neck and he was about to plunge the cold blade in his neck when he realized. Why kill himself when he can kill the ones who made him this? That once kind smile of his was now replaced by a wide grin of total madness. He laughed like a maniac and his eyes glowed an even deeper crimson. So Draco set himself to work. That day, he didn't go outside. The only reason he really went outside was because he needed food. Draco would allow himself to starve that day, for the sake of ridding himself of the people who continue to give him madness. People thought he ran away so they cheered. Draco looked at them with disgust. Soon, he will teach them all that he was still alive and that their days are numbered. Draco, during these eight hours, decided the methods on how he would kill everyone in the orphanage. Soon, it was time to kill. In his hand he held a large knife, his other hands held rope. In his pocket, a box of matches were hidden and a carton of gasoline hung from his back. He walked slowly down the hall, his movements serpentine-like. The floor boards creaked every now and then and Draco had to make sure no one was awake. The orphanage was quiet, however. Draco sighed in relief only to see a figure appeared in front of him. Draco stepped back in surprise. The figure was Knight Palace. Knight was the one who treated Draco the worst. He would make fun of him, he would hit him until Draco bled. And when Draco bled, he would lock him in the basement, allowing Draco to yell and scream for help until the adults came and took him out. They would never blamed Knight, however, and think it was Draco's own stupidity that made him locked inside. They would whip him with a belt after this. Knight stood there, his face twisted into a grin. He didn't see the knife. "Hey there demon, do you want me to send you back to Hell?" He seemed to ask Draco. Draco laughed. Comments like these will never scare him now. Knight looked a little surprised but that didn't stop him from slamming Draco against the wall. "What's up devil?" Draco glared at him and responded, "Nothing much, just you dying." At that moment, Draco stabbed Knight in the stomach. Knight screamed and Draco was afraid someone was going to wake up and see the scene. That didn't stop him from slitting Knight's throat, though. Knight's crimson fluid spluttered out from the slit, his eyes still opened wide from the shock of death. The floor was no stained a shade of red and Draco knew he had to get out fast quick if he wanted to not be seen. Draco felt great as he ran. His body was now coated with Knight's blood and Draco loved it. The feeling of gore was more than what he expected. He knew he would like it but he never thought he would love it. Draco felt a feeling inside that pulled at him. It craved death. And that's exactly what Draco shall receive. No one woke up, probably because they were all tired from work or they are just a lazy bunch. To get outside was very easy for Draco as no one stopped him. Draco was now in front of the orphanage, a smirk slowly drawing on his face. Draco dumped gasoline while he ran out the orphanage and the whole place was now covered with the fuel. Draco chuckled to himself as he lit up a match. The orphanage was practically fire wood now. Draco threw the lit match at the orphanage and then, all Hell broke loose. A huge explosion blew up the whole orphanage, sending Draco flying backwards. A wild fire began and the orphanage was now no more. Burning corpses littered the place, some flew up in the air from the explosion. Some were buried by the rubble. Everyone within the orphanage was now dead. Only Draco was alive. He shook off all the debris on him and stared at what he had done. Draco put his hands on his face and laughed. The peacekeepers will find Draco soon and he knew that. But Draco continued to laugh until he stopped. All emotion seemed to fade away at that moment for Draco. Draco got up and he walked into a forest clearing, his face no longer showing emotion. Draco changed his name to Basilisk Crown, a fallen dragon, an ugly beast. He thought it was much more appropriate. No one knew how the orphanage went up into flames or what happened to Draco. They thought he died as well. How Basilisk picked up hypnotism is unknown as well. He could've picked up the skill or learned about it in a book. Basilisk was now a living myth to the people of District 5. People would wake up in the middle of the night and go in that same forest clearing, as if they were being called upon. They would walk into Basilisk's cave and he would torture them. One poor fellow got himself skinned alive and his organs were harvested. His body was hung upon town square, for all to see. People learned to fear Basilisk, for his name was carved on the bodies. Some thought he didn't exist but that all changed when he volunteered for the Hunger Games. That day, everyone learned that their nightmares was a reality.

Strengths: Basilisk's strength is immense. He can lift heavy duty things without much problem and he can easily send a tribute sprawling to the ground with a simple punch. He is extremely intimidating and his bulk only adds to that. His ability to hypnotize gives him even more of an advantage. He is an amazing climber, as a result of living in a cave his whole life. He only has an extremely high endurance and it'll take a lot to actually defeat him.

Weaknesses: He isn't very agile. He can deflect and block attacks with no problem but dodging attacks is another thing. He also isn't the fastest of swimmers, always preferring the land over the sea. He doesn't have very good eyesight when in sunlight either and ranged attackers will be very effective against him at that moment. He can easily get enraged, not caring if his body gets hurt or damaged during his rampage.

Fears: The days of being stoned almost to death still haunts Basilisk, the very thought causes Basilisk's blood to rise. If someone has a stone in their hands, Basilisk will go insane. His mind will not flow right and he will lose his cool. His fear will blind him, it will make him thrash about until the stone is gone.

Interview Angle: Basilisk will be silent for the whole interview. If asked a question he will only nod or shake his head. If he is pushed further, Basilisk will glare at the interviewer, as if he can see through him/her and at their fear. This will make the interviewer shake from the fear. Basilisk will finish off his interview by saying, "Death awaits us all."

Bloodbath Strategy: Basilisk will go to the Cornucopia and grab whatever is nearby. If anyone threatens to attack him before he gets his supplies, he will hypnotize them to commit suicide or he will just knee them in the stomach and snap their neck. Basilisk, once he has his weapon, will then run to a nearby hiding spot, where he shall stay hidden. If anyone tries to prevent Basilisk from doing this, he will cleave them in half with his weapon, letting the blood fly onto to him.

Game Strategy: Basilisk will stay hidden for the majority of the Games, picking off the tributes one by one. He will burn tribute camps down if he sees one before stealing their supplies. If anyone sees him and attacks him, he will hypnotize them for to suffocate themselves. If he is unable to, he will slowly beat the tribute to death. He will make himself known as the most deadliest tribute in the Arena and if anyone tries to stop him, he will make sure their death is the most painful one yet.

Alliance: Alone

Token: A snake's scale, dipped in blood.
