Name: Shade Spectrus

Age: 16

Gender: Male

District: 5

Weapon: Dagger shaped like a lightning bolt. Crossbow

Appearance: 6'2, Intimidating and looks very hardened/cold hearted.

Personality: Quiet, cold, logical.

Backstory:  Shade was a very isolated 15 year old back in district 3. Living at home wasn't perfect but it wasn't very hard either. He spent time learning about circuits and some other small things. When he became old enough to be reaped, he decided to go to the career academy and train from a blooming age. This proved to be useful since his muscles began to form a lot faster and his skills with weaponry grew too. He had gained some of the top scores in ranged weaponry, brute force and stealth.

Opinion of the Quell: "I'm here to fight again. I won't change anything about my combat unless I have to. I pity anyone else here, they all have these flaws or barely have experience.."

Strengths: He is as sane as he was before the games, being a career he had an advantage in combat. He has very good aim with ranged weapons and can fake out people easily.

Weakness: He doesn't show much, but he exposes himself sometimes due to him feeling confident that he will win. He tires easily too

Bloodbath Strategy: He'll keep his distance whilst grabbing things around the outer part. Once he has enough things he'll kill a few tributes and charge anyone left at the center. If he has a crossbow and dagger then that pretty much has him set and he'll just fight off anyone without a ranged weapon. If someone else gets the ranged weapon, he'll scram.

Games Strategy: Shade will take a very direct attack and hide routine. He will behave like a wounded or dead tribute if a cannon had already been fired, then surprise the passerby by stabbing their ankle as they walked by and then slit their throat.

At the feast Shade won't waste time, and he won't have mercy either. He will take the other tributes' things and if confronted, he'll pull out the crossbow and shoot as he runs away with what he can carry, mainly weapons and armor. However, if theres many tributes left, he'll keep his distance and go last.

Kill anyone in sight, and do what seems best from that point. He will split up with his partners if he made any, wishing them luck.

At the final battle, he'll wait at the highest point near/at the center casually until the other tribute comes into sight. Once they do, he'll just point, shoot, and let the fight begin.

In terms of allies, it depends on how strong they are. If they are weak he'll consider it, if they're strong he'll backstab them.

Token: A necklace with a red thunderbolt.

Interview Angle: Charm them with philosophy and talk confidently. Mention how calm you are but don't pride yourself either, and show signs of bloodlust.

Mentor Advice: Shade, you're sane and you have potential. You might not need a mentor but you do need this advice;

1. Don't die

2. Retreat when its best

3. Don't come after a healthy tribute and if you're gonna butt into a fight, butt in near the end of it. That's when they least expect another attack and are most tired

4. Win
