Name: Lynx Striker

District: 1

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Height: 5'10

Personality: Lynx is very wild and loud. He loves a challenge and he will do anything to complete it, even if it meant sacrificing something. He loves fighting, being one of the top students in the District. He lived half of his life in the wild until he was found by a peacekeeper who adopted him. Lynx prefers to work alone but he will ally with the Careers. He loves felines as they were the type of animals that raised him, specifically, the lynx. He can handle most foods as he mainly lived off raw meat for the first eight years of his life and he is able to identify many plant and animal species. He has a special attachment for nature.

Appearance: Lynx has messy, dirty blonde hair that is kept wild and loose. He has hyper, hazelnut eyes that have a feline look to them. He has tan skin and a strong build. He has scars on his body from the fights he regularly joins and he sees them as his battle scars, much like an alley cat. He has sharp teeth and a vicious smile, like he's saying he's stronger then you and you know it.

Weapons: Lynx's main weapons are steel claws, he regularly watched lynx pounce their prey and he managed to mimic them. With the steel claws, he acts like a predator stalking it's prey till the right moment. He is also capable of using knives and other weapons but he prefers steel claws over everything.

Backstory: Lynx was abandoned in a forest when he was only a few months old. He was freezing and the baby Lynx would've died was it not for a miracle. This 'miracle' was a pack of lynx. They, strangely enough, took Lynx with them to their cave. They fed him raw meat and Lynx hated it and he began to cry. The lynx growled at him and Lynx stopped crying. Curious, he took a look at the raw, dead bird before him. He grabbed it with his hands and he began to chew. Normally, a normal child when vomit from this but Lynx was no ordinary child, it was like he adapted to the conditions. The lynx would hunt while the baby Lynx would walk around the cave, waiting for the cats' return. When he was 5, he began observing them. He watched how they hunted, how agile yet vicious they were. He began to mimic them. At first, he looked utterly ridiculous but after a year passed, it was like he was never human, rather, it was like he was a true animal. His sight grew sharp and his muscles grew strong. He learned to be agile and swift. He taught himself to hunt. Using sticks as spears, he would skewer whatever was in front of him that could be eaten, be it bird, frog, lizard or even a dog. He would return to the cave and he would sleep with the lynx, like he was a part of the family. But, sadly, all the lynx died of old age when he was 8. Furious, he ran out of the forest and into District 1. It was then a peacekeeper saw him. The peacekeeper was surprised by the boy, not angry, but surprised. He noticed his lack of clothes and how messy, and unruly his hair, which was covered with pine and other things, was. He was impressed when he found out he was living in the forest for 8 years, so he adopted him as his own. From there, the peacekeeper, who's name was Hunter Striker, decided to name Lynx after what had cared for him for the first 8 years of the boy's life. He named him Lynx. Hunter taught Lynx how to speak, read and write. He introduced him to the training facility in District 1 and Lynx was astonished by the steel claws. He asked if he could use them and Hunter let him. He was amazed at how Lynx was with the claws, even though this was the first time he actually used them. He then showed the Hunger Games. Lynx was astonished by the Games and he asked if he could be in the Arena some day. Hunter simply laughed and he said that the chances were low. Hunter underestimated Lynx too much, however. Lynx's ability to easily adapt helped him learn how the Games worked. He learned one could volunteer if they weren't reaped and Lynx decided to volunteer when he was 16. During that 8 year time period, Lynx progressed at a rapid rate with the weaponry, especially with the steel claws. The boys, jealous of Lynx, often challenged Lynx to fight and Lynx willingly did so. He won every fight easily with a few cuts and scrapes. Soon, everyone learned that shouldn't mess with him. Finally, it was time. Lynx was now 16 and the time to volunteer was now. And so he did. Hunter, shocked, yelled for Lynx to get off the stage. Hunter was shot down and Lynx grimaced. It was his fault Hunter died so he decided to avenge his death by winning the Games.

Strengths: Lynx is simply amazing with steel claws. In fact, he is amazing with nearly every weapon. But he is especially good with steel claws. He will literally rip a tribute to shreds if he gets the chance and he is quite intimidating, glaring at his opponents, striking them (pun not intended) with fear and paralyzing them. He won't hesitate for a second to kill, he'll just grab a weapon and kill. He is agile and his speed is unmatched. He is also great at dodging attacks and he can rely on his wild senses to see an attack coming. He can also practically eat anything edible, even if it tastes horrible or if it is raw. He won't complain and just, well, eat it. He is also an excellent ambush fighter and he a large amount of stamina.

Weaknesses: He is a terrible swimmer. He can swim but he is terrible at it. He also hates it if someone hurts anything feline-like, he will rage of someone does so. He also is quite arrogant and that can prove to be his downfall. He hates people who don't see him as a threat and he also hates people who upstage him. He might target anybody who got a higher training score then him as he thinks they cheated and they must be eliminated. He also lacks common sense.

Fears: Any body of water, be it a lake pr a river, he will fear as he once nearly drowned in a river. He also fears getting killed by someone weaker then him as well as the ongoing nightmares of Hunter's death.

Interview Angle: He will act as wild as ever. He'll state that he is amazed by how long it took for people to realize he was living in the forest for 8 years and that was only because he revealed himself. If asked about Hunter's death, his face will go grim and he will remain silent for the rest of the interview.

Bloodbath Strategy: Lynx won't waste a second. Once released, he will practically pounce the Cornucopia, probably cracking someone's neck along the way, and he will grab whatever he can find. He will kill a tribute with it and he will obtain steel claws. This is when he goes serious, or should I say, wild. He will literally roar as he starts his massacre, slicing tributes with the claws as he smiles. If someone attacks him, he will simply dodge and he will break their weapon before finally killing his attacker. He will smile in glee as he goes with the other careers who look completely astonished from what he has done. He will expect this reaction and shrug but he knows they know not to mess with him.

Game Strategy: Lynx will constantly want to hunt tributes and prey. He will often stay up as watch as he can't handle his nightmares. Of anyone attacks the careers, he will silence the attacker easily. If anyone tries to attack him, he will kick them in the shins or any exposed area and he will decapitate the person. If he can't kick them, he will dodge or block their attacks before finally raking his steel claws against the attacker. When the careers decided to split up, he will hunt them down, one by one, not caring that they were his allies for the majority of the Games.

Alliance: Careers (Leader)

Token: A lynx's claw tied to a string around his neck to make a necklace.
