Name: Shadow Reid District: 3 Gender: Male Age: 15 Personality: Tactical, Survivalist, Smart Backstory: Shadow Reid was an average boy but had a knack for building fantastic motors and other devices out of a few tools and nails. He could make a catapult from a pair of trees and an oversized suit, he could dissasemble a Peacekeeper gun, name all the parts and then stick it back together in under an hour, and he could easily buildSR Shadow Reid working engines and even small vehicles, provided he had the tools neccessary. He lived with his father, Jaden Reid, and his 19 year old brother Jutta Reid, himself the sole winner of the tl Hunger Games three years prior, thanks to a fantastic first performance by District 3, with the two tributes killing 4 of the 6 Career Tributes and another 3 normals before the female was ambushed. Jutta then went on to teach Shadow and another five possible tributes the skills they would need to survive if they had the bad luck to be called up as a tribute. His rather odd (Normal for us) name also made him stand out much, with some calling him an "Alien". He fancied a girl named Ottilie, who was two weeks younger than him and also another student of Jutta's. Jutta never wanted his students to volunteer, and none of them did.... so far... Appearance: Shadow has brown hair, is muscular with a visible six-pac, has green eyes, weighs 68 kilograms, is of an average build and is a very smart boy. He is 6 foot 1, making him taller than most D3 kids of his age. Weapons: Anything he can stick together, Deer Horn Knives, Throwing Knives. He has also done some training with a sword and shield and spears but does not prefer these over the weapons he trained for months with. Skills: Ability to create weapons and traps using nature, snares, pinpoint accuracy at ranges of over twenty metres with throwing knives, hand-to-hand fighting, diplomacy, bribing, better-than-average general performance giving him great power in the arena, adept eyes and ears, good tree climbing skills. Weaknesses: Slight lack of agricultural skills, fears mutts, requires energy to keep up stamina over prolonged periods of time, not the best swimmer on Earth but has basic skills.
