Name: Brahmos Ion

Age: 16

District: 3

Gender: Male

Personality: A very logical boy that is a bit geeky, and is always getting top grades in class. He is very forgiving, but trusts only those who he knows will be of use to him (i.e., if you're not good at anything, he won't ally with you). Intelligent, logical, forgiving, occasionally generous, funny when he's not thinking or being quiet.

Backstory: His parents were very intelligent like him, but his mother suffered from an illness and died when Brahmos was only young. His father became emotionally damaged, and went slightly crazy, so for Brahmos' saftey, he was taken into care by another family, and never knew his remaining parent, his father. He grew up with his foster family, knowing that he was adopted but never knowing where he came from. For many years he was a troublemaker that constantly seeked attention, but his teachers took him aside one day and told him that if he didn't sort his life out and stop being such a troublemaker, then he would be taken to a special institute for boys that couldn't cope with normal district life, and would work as cargo loaders for the rest of their lives. Brahmos still did not listen to them, and his rebellious and attention-seeking acts got worse and worse. The teachers and his foster family agreed that he should meet his surviving father to help him realise his potential. His father said this to him: "All I want is for you to know that you have so much potential. You could be the best technician to ever come out of District 3. Change your ways, Brahmos. No good can come of the trouble you create. I will never be proud of you unless you can show me that you are the best.' Brahmos listened to him at once, and changed himself completely. He promised to work hard, and soon became a quiet but hardworking and efficent boy who the teachers always showed off to others, and he only wanted to make his Father proud. But his Father was not allowed any further contact with his adopted son, and so Brahmos never knew if his Father had any pride in him at all. When he was reaped for the Hunger Games, Brahmos was kind of happy because it meant that is Father might see him being someone different, though in his heart, Brahmos knows that he is still the same.

Weapons: Wire, mines, poison darts

Appearance: Plain skin colour, blonde hair, green eyes, quite tall for his age.

Strengths: Plans attacks and sees the weaknesses and strengths in others

Weaknesses: Cannot carry larger weapons

Interview Angle: Have a casual but intelligent conversation and smile a lot to make it seem like you are happy.

Training Strategy: Have a go with the weapons mostly because he's not good at those, and try plant ID and survival stations.

Bloodbath Strategy: Grab what you can, stay wary and find alliance. Don't get too close, and keep an eye on the tributes that are most likely to kill you, and avoid going to close to the Cornucopia.

Games Strategy: Try and find water quickly, and if without weapons, set some traps to catch animals/tributes. Try and poison other tributes' water sources, track them and when they die, take their weapons and move on to another victim. Kill when it is needed, and do not light fires unless the smoke can be hidden. If you already have weapons, focus on finding safe water and food sources, and on the way, try and find plants that might come in handy if you become injured or sick. Keep moving, though camp at night and set traps all around to avoid being killed in your sleep.

Height: 5, 11

Allies: Never a Career, mostly a loner unless district partner is useful. Will not ally with anyone else but district partner for fear of disloyalty.

Token: A photo of his birth parents in a locket that encourages him to do well in life. They may have died, but they would want him to succeed.
