Name: Metallum Equitus

Age: 15

Gender: Male

District: 7

Weapon: Sword, stealth, throwing knives, dagger.

Appearance: Mid-Sized, he has blue hair with red eyes. 5'8 and he has the body of a warrior, scars and everything. His skin has a slight tan.

Personality: Serious, quiet, a gentleman and a very formal warrior. He is a knight who fights with brutal honor.

Backstory: Metallum was born to very formal parents. As a child, his parents enrolled Metallum and his siblings to learn the art of chivalry and swordsmanship, Metallum becoming an almost instant expert. However, this was because Metallum had a fear bigger than his heart, and that fear was death. He refused to die by the hands of someone else, he feels that his death should and will be delivered to him by father time.

His social interactions had a very interesting zest to them, almost like a knight's tale. The peasants were his admirers, listening to every word he spoke as if it was a grand philosophy from the lord himself. The comrades were his friends, who won alongside him or lost alongside him no matter what. The king and queen were his parents, and the villains were the kids who despised him, and in his eyes the evil kingdom was, "The black knight's domain: The Capitol".

One day, he came home to see his parents knocked out on the floor with everything ransacked. Metallum was shocked to see this and instantly tended to his parents using whatever he could find, eventually nursing them back to health in just one day. His parents did not know the attacker, but all they knew is that the attacker wore a mask of sorts, like a demon's glare emerging from the darkness in the mask. Then, Metallum knew exactly who it was; the head peacekeeper who always guarded the neighborhood gates.

Metallum left home with just a butcher knife and set out to catch the peacekeeper and slay him. He was fed up with the captiol's cruel irony on the name "peacekeeper", and he was going to speak out using the one thing he knows best. Chivalry. He eventually found the head peacekeeper resting by the gates, and with his knife he jammed  it into the peacekeeper's vocal cords so he couldn't scream. In the peacekeeper's panic Metallum kicked away the taser baton and the rifle and dragged him behind the gates. "You know, I mostly regret taking out your vocal cords because I've been wanting to ask, what do you think your name means when they call you a peacekeeper?". Metallum reached into his victim's pocket and pulled out wads of cash he had made from selling the robbed items. "I truly regret doing this to you, but justice has a very precise balance it should keep. You're just extra weight."

And with that, he let the peacekeeper fall and he kicked the knife deeper into his neck, killing him. He then took the knife out of the peacekeepers' neck and began to smear blood all over the tree so it could attract the wolves and make it appear that he was attacked by them. He was never caught for that, and felt a surge of brutal justice rush through him along with a knight's honor. It was settled, he would dedicate his life to justice and slaying inequalities in the system. He kept the mask that the peacekeeper owned and changed the carvings in it along with the paint to make it fit his need. Once he put on the mask, all you could see were the two glowing red eyes surrounded by darkness.

He was the brutal hand of justice.

Strengths: He is very formal and has a high morale. Expereinced in many types of chivalry rainging from physical sword-fighting up to throwing a knife at a moving target, he is as trained as a legendary knight. A gentleman to both men and women, he can earn respect from even his enemies. He can also throw down some effective stealth and has a brutal yet graceful way of executing attacks..

Weakness: He is a bit obsessed with justice and takes things a bit too far sometimes. He can also look like a snob due to his formal appearance.

Fears: Death. It is what drives him to be strong.

Bloodbath Strategy: To begin with, he will grab a backpack and use it to protect himself from incoming attacks. He will grab a knife or any blade of sorts that he finds first then clear out. He will always watch his back as he escapes until he can no longer hear fighting, and if he hears someone he will run away regardless. He will not stick with his alliance, but he will find his way to them as the games go.

Games Strategy: He will stay under the radar until he finds his alliance. Once he does, he will dedicate himself to combat/defense and make sure his allies are safe under any conditions.

Feast Strategy: He will arm himself lightly but effectively and fetch bags for himself and an ally's district.

Token: The mask that resembles a knight's helmet that he made that shows nothing but the red glow from his eyes.

Alliance: Careers, Anti-careers if they upset him during training or vice-versa

Interview Angle: Talk with finesse and be as formal as the capitol, reach out to past victors and mention how you admire their bravery in the games and coming out as the victor.

Mentor Advice: Metallum, your finsesse and abilities are admirable. Come out on top and use your brutality to bring justice and honor to your name and district!
