I would love to take the D2 male, if possible!

Name: Alistair O'baine

District: 2

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Height: 6"1'

Appearance: Caucasian with light brown shaggy hair that looks like he just rolled out of bed yet somehow still looks decent. He has light, light blue (almost silvery) eyes. Conventionally attractive. Bears a prominent scar on his left cheek.

Weapon: As a career, he was trained intensively with ranged weapons such as bows. Has a general knowledge of swinging a sword, though.

Strengths: Witty, quick thinker, fast, impecable accuracy.

Weaknesses: Cares too much for his D2 counterpart. Easily angered, no knowledge of plant life and wild life.

Personality: Alistair, while a career, is not cruel or evil. He was trained since childhood to be a ruthless killer but the instinct never kicked in. He is smart and a solid combatant but does not feel the overwhelming desire to murder. Alistair is quiet around his fellow careers. He cares about Diana and does not feel excited about having to murder the other tributes but understands he will have to do what he can to survive. Alistair is really a decent guy with a good heart but hides it when he is around the other careers out of concern that they'll see him as a weak link. He is sensitive, especially concerning the topic of his family or his sexuality but tries to pretend the topics don't bother him. He is also bisexual and is simultaneously attracted to both Tux Bowden and Corin Greer.

Backstory: Alistair was raised to be a career. His father was a cruel man whose sole focus and desire was for Alistair to win the Hunger Games. His only sister, Kenna, went to the games two years before Alistair and was killed. This only increased their father's desire for Alistair to win. He was forced to train day and night in order to be an above average warrior. If Alistair messed up or didn't do everything his father wanted, it would result in a beating. When Alistair was fifteen, his father got angry and slit him across the face with a kitchen knife which left a deep scar. Living in fear, he tried to do everything his father asked of him. His mother, on the other hand, was very loving and kind, teaching Alistair decent qualities and the value human life. He always had a feeling that he liked both boys and girls and did his best to hide it from his parents. A month before the reaping, Alistair's father caught him kissing another boy and nearly beat the boy to death. He refused to acknowledge Alistair anymore. Knowing it was the only way to gain back the favor of his father, he volunteered himself at the reaping. Life would be far worse if he stayed, anyway.

Alliance preferences: The careers. Alistair also has a fancy for the District 5 girl, Corin Greer.



Optional
Family: His abusive father, Arken, and loving mother, Celia. His sister, Kenna, died in the games two years prior.

Fears: His father, spiders, being seen as a weak link.

Reaction when reaped: Volunteered in order to escape his father. Even if it means death.

<p style="font-weight:400;font-size:14px;">Interview angle: Alistair relied on his charm and good looks to woo the audience. He does not rely on an emotional appeal and instead uses sex appeal and a courageous approach to get support.

<p style="font-weight:400;font-size:14px;">Strategy for bloodbath/games: Join up with the careers in the cornucopia. Needs to get his hands on a bow. Will kill if needed but main goal is to disarm and injure opponent and let his fellow careers finish them off.
