Since I don't have a lot of time at the moment and I want to provide good information for each of my tributes, I'm going to submit a different comment for each tribute. I apologize if it ends up being long; I want to provide enough information for you to accurately portray my tributes

Alphonsus:

1. Alphonsus' personality is admittedly challenging to portray due to his rather dialectical personality, in the sense that he could be classified as a series of antonyms. For example, he is confident yet insecure and open (about his sexuality) yet closeted (since he's afraid to tell people). While he doesnt care who knows, he typically makes sure the other person is accepting of different sexual orientations before he opens up to them about his gayness. The key piece of his personality is that he strives to be liked by others and socially accepted; he will never do anything to jeopardize his reputation or his friendships. Ultimately, though, he's a kind-hearted person who suffers from personal insecurity.

2. Since Alphonsus is allied with only one other tribute, he's going to have the alliance organized as a joint partnership, so neither of them is really the "leader." He's going to provide more of the strategical side of the partnership, although that doesn't mean he won't provide the physical strength when needed.

4. Alphonsus doesn't want to kill other people, but he understands that he had to in order to return home. As a result, he prefers using ranged weapons so he doesn't have to see the person die right in front of his eyes. He'll only really kill with a melee weapon if him or his ally are in danger.

5. Alphonsus died believe that he had a chance of returning home, as he doesn't think he's a weakling nor incapable of surviving the arena. He is motivated by his mother, since he's the only one she cares for that's still alive.
