Tribute Form


Name: Alucard ‘Luc’ Montgomery

Age: 17

District: 3

Gender: Male (He/Him)

Sexuality: Homoflexible, Biromantic

Appearance: Nate Niehaus

Personality: With a strong sense of gumption and a self-centred attitude, Alucard is not someone who is exceptionally easy to get along with. That is not to say that he’s rude, ill-tempered, or keeps solely to himself, but rather that he dangles in that awkward, fine line of being an ambivert and is just too focused on his (and his brothers’) personal needs and ambitions to really try and mingle with those who don’t seem to show a real interest in their wellbeing. Another exception to this are the people that he cunningly decides are worth his while, whether out of curiosity or of having a personal agenda with them.

Upon getting to know him further, the select few who’ll have this opportunity will notice that beneath that tough, impermeable exterior lies a sweet, loving boy whose selflessness and generosity have been corrupted by the outside world and left a no-nonsense, focused, and aloof attitude in their wake; a youth who frowns way too much but in reality just wants his few loved ones to be safe and well, despite rarely demonstrating his affection in conventional ways to them and instead giving them what many would call ‘tough love’ or even avenging them in unusual and vindictive fashions, for which he'll rarely ever feel guilty about afterwards. Alucard, however, has resisted this much more severe side of him, which has created a constant duality of who he wants to be and who he’s had to become.

Fatal Flaw: Vengeance. In his warped and twisted sense of justice, Alucard will be blinded and stop at nothing to achieve revenge against those who have wronged him or the few people that he genuinely cares about.

Backstory/History:

There’s nothing quite like the supple, motherly touch of when a woman reaches for the miniature fingertips of her newborn. Despite this, Hilde Alysse knew that she had to let go of Alucard’s hand before she could change her mind. Just shy of eight months ago, she’d found herself in one of the many clandestine, lavish celebrations of those who still considered themselves loyalists, despite the state of Panem back then.

She drank from the expensive bottle champagne she’d grown so used to tasting ever since she started attending such events. Hilde had been born just after the second rebellion, and she resented the fact that since the she’d had to grow up as a normal person, when she could’ve been raised as practically royalty. The Alysses used to be a very respected family residing in the Capitol, who always managed to stay in the President’s good graces, but after the rebellion, they’d been forced to live a much more humble life. But not anymore. Kristian Dallory was one of the surfacing leaders of the ever-so-slowly growing movement of loyalists in the Capitol.

His leadership was all in secret, however, as the country was practically run by the rebels by then, but he still had his followers. And Hilde needed the spotlight, so by slipping strong drinks into the man’s hand and sultry words in his ear, she ended up in the man’s bedchambers.

Despite achieving her plan, her parents were outraged upon finding out about her pregnancy, as if they still had a reputation to keep up, so they forced her to hide it for as long as possible, until it was too noticeable and she had to stay home for the last few months. The family ended up paying a doctor excessively for his expert hands and his silence to finally deliver the baby and take it with him to leave him in the doorstep of the once-capitolite Garrussel Montgomery in District 3.

Garrussel was a generous man with too much wealth, but that sadly couldn’t conceive children with his wife; traits which eventually garnered him the title of Orphan Keeper, as he’d been known to adopt the parentless in his mansion throughout his many years of life. Luckily for the then-nameless infant, Garrussel found him not long after, and took him in. As was tradition in the household, every orphan would inherit his surname, and so he decided to name the baby Alucard.

Alucard had a fairly pleasant childhood. He lived a good life despite living in District 3, and all alongside Faro, the adoptive brother that was only 6 months his senior. They were pretty much twins, save for their appearance. Where Alucard was a brunette and lithe, Faro was blonde and broad-shouldered. Despite Alucard being the younger one, he soon assumed the position of the older brother. He always looked after Faro, advised him both bluntly and wisely, warned him against danger, and chastised him afterwards for his recklessness.

Faro had a very bright and charismatic personality, which Alucard envied greatly. Whenever he wanted to be buoyant, he would invariably end looking like an idiot and making everyone else’s moods sour. Rarely were the two ever separate, so Alucard figured they complimented each other somehow. Before he could even prevent it, however, Faro had become popular and he hadn’t. Faro got invited to places he wasn’t, but it was alright. About half of the time he wanted to be alone anyways. And while it was true, it still felt like he was trying to convince himself of it.

But then Faro fell in love in his teenage years with a gorgeous girl a year older than him that was known to tease, lure and play with all the boys. Alucard confronted his brother about it but he was too blinded by her beauty and sultry words to heed his brother’s wise words. As expected, she took advantage of the situation and toyed with Faro, manipulating him to her pleasure and eventually humiliating him and shattering his heart to pieces.

Alucard, torn by seeing his brother’s suffering post-break-up, figures he would take matters in his own hands. He wasn’t particularly skilled in technology, but living in District 3 proved to be easy to find useful tutelage in it. He learnt how to hack and he hijacked the girl’s devices to broadcast far and wide real evidence of her pleasuring herself with the well-fitting caption of “PLAY WITH THIS, B*TCH”.

Given that the girl had earned her extensive list of enemies, no one ever found out who’d done it, and Alucard never confessed to Faro. He knew that what he’d done was wrong in every way possible, but he didn’t regret it one bit. She got was she deserved for messing with his brother and at least the scandal had distracted Faro from his near-depression.

Eventually though, Faro caught a virus, but the mysterious disease went undetected until he had a heart attack. Luckily, he was revived but was left extremely weakened afterwards, to the point of practical incapacitation. Garrussel called a local healer to treat Faro but she knew nothing about his condition. It was in that same week that Garrussel passed in his sleep, and Mrs. Montgomery, who inherited all of his properties and had been complaining about the kids for some years, didn’t share the same generous spirit of the deceased man, so she evicted the orphans from the mansion and left them to their own.

Faro and Alucard stuck together, but the first’s condition only seemed to worsen even after Alcuard got a job and used the scant money he earned to buy food, warm clothes and some cheap painkillers and antibiotics that he thought might improve his brother’s health. He felt so powerless, knowing that he couldn’t do much more to help his brother, and his talent and intellect seemed to go to waste for such a meager wage, so he grudgingly quit, and rather became a con artist, duping passersby hoping to make enough money to take his brother to a renowned doctor in the district and finally get him diagnosed and treated.

Living in the streets, they befriended a fellow homeless teenager called Vik. They would share their food sometimes and Vik offered his protection from others. Alucard didn’t know from what, exactly, but he was glad to finally have another ally aside from Faro, who spent most of the days sleeping by then, due to his sickness.

One time, someone tried to mug the boys but Vik had fought against the robber until he’d been much too wounded and ran off. Vik, however, hadn’t come out of the fight unscathed. He’d been cut and bruised badly. When Alucard was bandaging him, the latter went in and kissed Alucard, and he, flummoxed, had pulled back, but he’d regretted the decision immediately. It wasn’t until then that he realized he’d been harbouring feelings for Vik. Vik, sensing his hesitation, ventured again for Alucard‘s lips, and this time, he reciprocated.

Their relationship developed from there, but he was too ashamed of it to ever bring it up to Faro, so anything they did, they did in secret. Alucard finally opened up his secrets to Vik, and confessed to having made enough money to finally pay for the surgery that the doctor had instructed Faro to undergo in. Vik congratulated him, and they spend the night together for the first time. Everything seemed to be fine for a while, and for once, Alucard woke up from the hard floor with a hopeful grin on his visage.

It first turned to a frown when he found the space next to him empty, but it then became a glower, and eventually a sob when he found out that not only was Vik gone, but so was all of his money. Both heartbroken and enraged, he swore to himself that he’d get the money back and that he’d have all hell break loose on Vik, wherever the hell he was hiding, but it was right when his master plan started taking form that he was kidnapped alongside 27 other teenage across the nation by the Loyalists; the very same movement that his biological father supported in the frontlines.

And Kristian Dallory might have not known about his living heritage, but Alucard did.

And when he found out what it was all about, he’d make sure everyone knew about it.

Loyalist or Rebel: Rebel

Habits/Mannerisms: Luc has a tendency of randomly starting to hum different melodies or even singing under his breath. He also is very fidgety and can rarely ever stop his hands from moving, whether that may be by drumming his fingers, fidgeting with small objects, or tugging at pieces of his clothing.

Dominant Hand: Left-handed

Primary Weapon: Zweihänder

Alternate Weapon: Twin Shortswords

Height: 5’10

Strengths:
 * Agility: Despite his average height and slim build, Alucard is very physically able, specifically in his speed, dodging and quick-thinking when fighting.
 * Street Smarts: Due to having had to make his own living for awhile, he’s completely aware of other’s intentions and lacks any naïveté he used to have.
 * Vindictive Strategist: Extremely skilled in coming up with plans and strategising, this asset of his is taken to the maximum whenever he has a personal agenda behind said plans.

Weaknesses:
 * Rather Unlikeable: It’s not very easy getting along with Alucard at first, and he doesn’t inspire approachability so this could cost him allies.
 * Uncommunicative: A side-effect of his introvert side, he is not used to communicating his ideas, plans or thoughts to others and might just act upon them without consulting.
 * Vindictive Recklessness: Whenever he’s trying to get back at someone, his judgement gets easily clouded with anger and betrayal and he might blur the lines of his usual prudence.

Fears:
 * Betrayal: Perhaps more an apprehension than actual fear, Alucard is always just very wary now of everyone and their intentions and rarely ever lets his walls down in fear of being betrayed. This also affects his ability to trust others.
 * Physical Contact: Due to having been intimate with someone he used to love in such a dramatic way, now Alucard tries to avoid any physical contact with others unless he’s started to trust them, which is saying a lot.
 * Losing Faro: For sure his biggest weakness and fear, Faro is practically Alucard’s adoration and he’d literally do anything to see him thrive, even give his own life for it without second thoughts. He’s terribly protective of him and he fears constantly of having Faro die while he’s in the Games as he’s awfully ill.

Height: 5’10

Other information:
 * While he’s definitely sexually attracted to a select few females, he’s mostly attracted to men, though he resents this side of him, as it made him fall for Vik. Furthermore, he experiences romantic attraction to both genders.
 * Alucard loves a good deep, philosophical conversation with someone else, but he’s apprehensive of opening up his thoughts to just anyone.
 * As demonstrated by his habits, he loves music in all of its forms.
 * Due to feeling lonely and without Faro, he’s most likely to secretly want to bond with someone else despite his apprehensions once inside the Game.
 * Alucard can often be indecisive, but rarely to a fault.

Strategy:
Open to Allies?: Alucard is most likely going to try to seek an ally or two, at most. I order for someone to be his ally, however, the other person would have be as trustworthy as possible, and to be able to emotionally and/or intellectually connect with Luc, despite his tough barriers.

Bloodbath Strategy: During the bloodbath, he’ll rush to the cornucopia, and attempt to score a good weapon and a pack, confident about his speed to get there before many others. He’ll avoid getting into confrontations that early into the Games, but if anyone should try and attack him, he’ll fight back as long as he has a chance and he’s not outnumbered or overpowered, in which case, he’d simply gather his supplies and make a run for it.

Arena Strategy: Throughout the Games he’s going to make sure to stay alert at all times and to get to know his ally or allies better and even offer bits and pieces of information about himself to encourage trust, even if he’s going to withhold from giving them his trust for a moderate while. For unforeseen circumstances, Alucard is to rely on his sharp intellect, his battling sense of prudence and brave risk-taking, and his advanced strategising abilities.

Feast Strategy: In the feast, he’s going to consider all of the possibilities, and, depending on his current situation and the strategy that he’ll come up with, he’ll decide on whether he should attend or not. The closer he gets to his partner(s), or at least as close he wants them to seem, the better, and he’s going to attempt to stick with them up until the point where it is no longer feasible, for which he’ll take the decision to either just abandon them or offer them with a clean and respectable death with a small tribute of gratitude.

Finale Strategy: Regarding the finale, Alucard would mostly rely on his intellect to try and manipulate the remaining tributes into a previously-set trap, or simply into their demise, always taking into account his current context and surroundings. Luckily for him, he’ll most likely have more determination and revenge motivation by this point, which will aid him into fighting until the end. Overall, he’d definitely attempt on getting the upper hand, but this time he’d rely more on strategy than physicality.
