Brass

1. Which aspects of your tribute's personality (and possibly backstory) are most essential in order to portray them correctly?

That he secretly feels a great deal of pressure and nervousness in regards to winning the games. Since both his older brothers failed at winning and died horrible deaths, he is his family's last hope at having a victor. He wants to make his parents and his district proud by becoming victor.

2. (If your tribute is in an alliance): Which kind of role would your tribute naturally take in an alliance? Do they feel thankful they have allies? Would they ever consider leaving said alliance?

Brass would probably not take the leadership role because there's another career that got a higher score, but he would not allow himself to be the member held in the lowest regard either. He would definitely feel thankful for his allies because it greatly increases his chance of winning. In regards to leaving his alliance, I'll leave that up to you for reasons bellow.

4. How does your tribute feel about killing?

That part of Brass's mindset is rather open ended, he can either become the bloodthirsty killer he's been trained to be, or realize that he doesn't actually like killing. It's up to you so take it whatever direction you prefer! If he doesn't like killing he would probably end up betraying the careers, but again, it's really not set in stone how he feels about this so let your creative juices flow.

5. Does your tribute actually believe they have a chance of going home? And what motivates them to do so?

Yes, Brass definitely thinks he has a shot of returning home. He's trained all his life and has the skills needed to win. However, he's not cocky about it and understands there's a strong chance he could die despite his training. He's motivated to bring honor to his district and his family, and to make up for the deaths of his brothers in previous games.
