Name: Zalcharius "Gambler" Richardson

Districts: 10

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Personality:  There's a reason for Zalcharius' nickname. Before his father died, he would gamble with his son, ever since he was 8 years old. It started out with playing cards, and eventually led to him taking Zalcharius to an actual gambling, where they would play for legit money. This eventually shaped Gambler into a competitive young man. He's very smart, and knows a lot about the moves players make, an effect from years of gambling. He's very rich, since it's rare for him to lose a game. He's a bit arrogant, and he's also not afraid to kill when it comes to the Hunger Games. Deep inside, though, Gambler is actually a very nice person, although you don't get to see the good side of him very often.

Backstory: As I stated in his personality, gambling is purely in Gambler's blood. He comes from a long line of gamblers. He's always been very wealthy, although he's never been a rude snob like several rich kids in the districts are. His father died in a house fire when he was 14, and his baby sister passed away due to an illness that was going around two years later. The only family he has left is his mother, who is very sick. Every time Gambler comes home he's met with the smell of death, and his mom is asleep in her bed. He only comes home to leave some food out for his mom, and usually spends the night at his friend Gregory's house.
