History- When Odysseus (5) and Troy (9) were orphaned, the first place they were sent to was the community home. Odysseus felt awfully alone. The only one left was his caring brother. Troy taught Odysseus several things and bought him his fist and only books. The books were rather expensive because only a few copies had survived. But Troy insisted on buying them because the books was where both had gotten their names. The Iliad and The Odyssey. A few weeks later as the Reaping and Odysseus' birthday. When Troy got Reaped instead of going to the stage he turned to his little brother. "I was going to give this to you after the Reaping... But, I guess there won't be an after will there? Take care and remember I'll always be watching," Troy had told him then walked towards the stage. Tears sprang to Odysseus' eyes and he reached out to his brother. He was still a little too young to understand the Games but he did know that those who went never came back. Weeks later, his brother was still alive. Odysseus clung to that and was also surprised to hear he did have a living relative. One willing to adopt him. He moved to his grandfather's house and tried to bring up the happy mood his old family had. But he wasn't allowed to. His grandfather hated him and abused him. when his brother was captured, his grandfather forced him to watch every single moment of his brother's gruesome death. That's when the first strands of sanity started to snap. Then he found out about his grandfather's real job. By day, he owned a shop where coal miners got their equipment. by night, he went to the Hob and sold the body's of young girls and boys, desperate for money to feed their families. His grandfather saw him as merchandise and what was best was that Odysseus didn't need to be paid. He was treated as a slave and abused in many ways by strangers. He began to detach himself from reality, to a place where there was less hurt. Before he used to object, but he was weak and couldn't stop them. before he used to stare at his grandfather and his buyers with large, hurt eyes until the people beat him to get him to stop. They felt guilty but they continued using him. in the day, he was used as a sort of maid or slave to gain a few extra coins. But usually he ran away into the woods, where he was safe. He still carried around his books everywhere he could, refusing to let them out of his sight. One night his grandfather caught him reading the Odyssey, ripped out the last pages and tossed them in the fire. Odysseus never found out if his namesake got his happy ending. Finally he parted with his full sanity and began seeing deceased people. his mother, father, brother, and even people from his books. He would often have long, drawn out conversations about nothing. When chosen for the Games, Odysseus had noticied his name being called out until someone guided him to the stage. He looked up and remebered his brother. Suddenly Troy's illusion appeared and like before, walked away from him, towards where the escort and female tribute was. Tears sprang to his eyes, which was the fist time many people had seen him show emotions. He raised his hand to rty and stop his brother from leaving him again. He bagan screaming out, begging his brother to stay. Or so he thought he was yelling. Everyone else saw him extend a pale, thin hand and mumble out several things, the tone desperate. The escort guided him off the stage and into the waiting room.

Strategy- none, really. But his brother's "spirit" will often appear and he'll just copy what it's doing. But most tributes should leave him alone, considering he is weak and insane. They probably wouldn't bother him till the end. (What thy don't know is that all it will take is one more push and he'll go on a insane killing spree).

Token- His books.
