Name: Aleks Lascius

Gender: Male

Age: 17

District: 2

Appearance (Real-life photo):

Personality: Aleks is often known as the silent one, who everyone jokes that he's plotting murder or world dominance. Although he also plays along with the joke when it actual fact he's very precise with his words due to his analytical nature - as in, he only says things he finds to be useful that contributes towards winning the Games. There are only two times where this is broken; when he thinks of a witty sarcastic comment which he'll say without hesitation and when he knows his life is on the line. He tends to hide his anger and sadness and uses them to work his mind. He isn't very forgiving and tends to be brutal.

Backstory: In every district there's the poor and then there's the brutal. The Lascius family is arguably one of the most brutal families in District 2. Due to the fact that his father is among the most senior of peacekeepers and his mother holds a high job in the academy for career tributes, Aleks had a pampered life from the moment he was born. Whilst his siblings went and became brutal and physically challenging, Aleks was more academic and thought of ways to be more trivial and analytical about any situation he would be faced in. Although he too learnt how to use many weapons, there's only one he can use with ease. At the time of the reaping he was the oldest of the siblings that was eligible to go into the games and was forced by his parents to volunteer for his younger brother before anyone else could.

Weapon(s): Throwing Knives (also mind but eh >.<)

Strengths: Intelligence and strategy thinking. His aim is also pretty exceptional compared to other tributes. From his knowledge he also has a very rough and vague idea of what can and can't be eaten.

Weaknesses: Although his aim is pretty good, it still lacks at random times and as such he is prone to missing. Because he never saw the point in it (and because he has a fear of water), he doesn't know how to swim that well nor climb. Also, his pride gets the better than him often.

Fear(s): Water and being a failure to his family.

Bloodbath Strategy: Grab his preferred weapons (if not he'd go for something basic like a small sword) and try to show how deadly he can be. After the bloodbath he'd get to his desired alliance.

Games Strategy: For the most part of the games he'd stay with the Careers, possibly serving as their strategist if need be, if not he'd be a normal career. If he makes it as far as say, the final 10, he'd break away from the careers and go solo for a while and think of plans on how to attack the remaining (if there are any) careers. Throughout his time in the arena he would've made some observations on the other tributes and he'd try to use this to his advantage in some way.

Interview Angle: He'll try to come across as charming and charismatic and only hint to this intelligence he has. He'll try, although he isn't really it, show the image of brawn over brain.

Charm (optional): A small bead necklace his youngest sister made for him

Alliance: Careers
