Forget my D8 male reservation, I'd much rather submit a D5 male.

Name: Shield Daggers (I'm pretty sure you hate his name so change it into whatever, I really have no idea how to please you -.-)

District: 5

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Height: 6'6

Personality: Shield is a silent yet intelligent person. He is rather strange and he hates being spoken to without some kind of authority. He has an obsession with weaponry and he trains often, unlike the other kids in District 5. He is open-minded and he knows what one should say and what they shouldn't. He is a great leader although he doesn't like to associate himself with the position, rather wanting to be someone who recieves orders insteading of giving them. He is modest and he doesn't brag about his accomplishments, saying that one shouldn't brag but show that he can manage so in order to prove themelves. As you can see, he is very wise. He is also very loyal to his allies and he will protect them at any cost, even if it meant losing his life.

Appearance: Shield has shoulder-length brown hair and dark-brown eyes. He has pale skin and a somewhat worried expression on his face, like he's about to make a difficult decision. He considered to be good looking in D5 and many people admire him for his looks.

Weapons: Shield has a diverse knowledge and skill with many weapons. He is especially good with swords and shields. He can manage with axes and daggers as well as knives. Even without a weapon, he is an extremely dangerous opponet. He knows many ways on how to kill a person with his bare hands, which have harded over the years of his training.

Backstory: Shield's parents died at an early age, leaving Shield to the mercy of his aunt. She treated him badly, calling him the Devil's child. Did Shield complain? No, he lived with it for 8 years. When he was 8, his aunt too, passed away. Shield's reputation was now an all-time low and he had no friends or realitives to comfort him. Shield taught himself to care for himself and others, he taught himself how to fight. To bullies, they saw Shield as another pitiful kid they should torment. Shield left them running away, crying for their mothers. Shield didn't like hurting others, even though it was self-defense, though. He still continued to train hard but he refused to hurt anyone without a purpose. Shield learned how to craft himself weapons. When he was 10, he made miself a durable wooden sword and he would train with it. It was a long time, 3 yeara, before the wooden sword broke. People learned to respect him and they would often seek Shield for his wisdom or ask if he could help them with something. Shield would listen and he would politely complete all the requests. He didn't, however, accept the requests that involved in the hurting or killing of someone and he would either turn them down or turn them in. He then learned how to craft steel blades after stealing some metal from the peacekeepers. How he taught himself to craft the weapons? It was a mixture of skill and luck. Shield actually listened on to the peacemakers' conversations, on how to make weapons. Shield would take notes and run off if they came close to him. Shield didn't see his action as stealing, rather as justice as he believed the peacekeepers were guilty. That didn't stop them from forcing Shield to volunteer, though. Shield was caught as the peacekeepers noticed smoke coming in from Shield's direction. From there, Shield was turned in and forced to volunteer or they will begin a massacre against the people of District 5. Shield, knowing they were serious, volunteered.

Strengths: Shield is very intelligent. He can easily think of strategies that can help conquer other people and lead them to their demise. He knows how to play his cards and he plays them right. He is also very strong, being able to lift heavy weights that one would struggle with. Shield wouldn't even break a sweat. Shield is also an excellent climber, swimmer and runner, being able to outmaneuver almost everybody. He can manage with almost every weapon and he can spot weaknesses or chinks in weapons and armor easily with just a simple glance.

Weaknesses: Shield will kill but he will hesitate, unsure if he should actually do it. He will also be furious and sadden if one of his allies die, making him go out of control. He hates it if someone thinks they are better then everyone else as he sees everyone as equals.

Fears: Phobophobia

Interview Angle: Shield will act distant but he will answer the questions. Sometimes, he'll just say no comment if he doesn't have an answer for something or he'll just sigh and say nothing.

Bloodbath Strategy: Shield will make sure he knows where all his allies are before he gets released. Once released, he will make his way to the Cornucopia and grab a sword and a shield. Once he has weapons, he will block attacks with hus shield as he searches for his allies. Once he has found them, he will knock out two tributes near him before finally running to them. He will protect them from attacks if someone attacks them. He'll try not to kill but he will if he has to.

Game Strategy: Shield will protect his allies if there are any attacks. He'll manage their weapon, food and water supplies as he sees them as his main priorities. He will normally take watch and refuse to sleep, saying an attack can happen at any time. He will be ready for attacks and he won't submit, even if he is driving off the edge.

Alliance: Anyone

Token: None
