Tribute Form
Name:  Corbin Mallory District: Any (But preferably D13) Gender: Male

Age: 17

Personality: A lot of people will notice that I'm very solitary and withdrawn. Whenever I'm like this, it's because my past haunts me. Everything about it. It's also the reason why I have lack of faith, and why I'm very pessimistic. No matter what, I can never look on the good side of life. Particularly because I can be philosophical about the ways of the world, often ending up in an existential crisis because I think too hard. I'm one of those remorseful people who will regret anything bad that happens in the past, which happened all too much for me. I'm depressed about life, because there weren't many clouds with silver-lining in my one. I can be a bit secretive at times, sometimes sending off mixed signals that are perceived incorrectly. I can sometimes be a bit dorky, but that's the only time I can be seen as a ray of sunshine. And whilst I accept everything, including the fact that I'll be forever alone, it doesn't stop me from wanting to escape the prison of lonesomeness.

Height: 6’2

Appearance: My hair is quite short, but my fringe covers an abnormal amount of surface area over my forehead. It's a dark blue, so dark in fact, that it almost appears black. My eyes are a pale shade of blue, similar to the ones found on huskies and dogs of the like. Due to lack of sunlight, my skin is pale, almost white as a ghost even. I’m usually seen with a sorrowful expression on my face, all because of a series of events that led to me being the outcast of district 13.

Weapon(s): My main choice of weapon is a garrotte. I don’t want to shed blood because I fear copious amounts, but could use one to strangulate someone. As a second choice, I would use a rapier. Because I have taken fencing lessons, I can easily control one and use it to my advantage.

Strengths: One of my main strengths is the fact that I have knowledge of how to handle my weapons of choices. My fencing lessons have brought me joy and the skills, but the way in which I used the garrotte was much less pleasant. Another of my strengths is my stealth – I can easily sneak up on somebody and use my garrotte on them. Alongside the points mentioned, I have high pain tolerance. Due to several events in which I was hurt, I’ve built a resistance to pain.

Weaknesses: Due to my solitary character, I can seem a bit secretive to any allies I have. This could make them suspicious of me, as if I were planning to backstab them. Alongside this, I easily feel remorse. I would regret not choosing the right path or killing another tribute, but it doesn’t stop me from doing what is needed, even if it goes against my will. Finally, I am weak at swimming. I’ve never seen rivers or lakes in real life before, so I haven’t had the chance to work on my swimming skills.

Fears: More than anything else, I fear never being forgiven for any course of action – It was hard enough bearing with everybody turning their backs on me even after the truth was revealed. Another of my fears is seeing medium-large sized puddles of blood. It was painful enough watching my one true love bleed slowly and in agonizing pain, so to witness it again would remind me of the incident.

Training Strategy: In training, I will be quiet and try not to draw attention to myself. For this, I will focus on survival stations for both of the days. I’ll try to avoid as many people as possible. If anybody tries to make conversation with me, I’ll ignore them. But if they give me no other choice but to pay attention to them, I will do so. I’ll decline any offers to be in an alliance quietly and calmly. Hopefully, I’ll just be left alone.

Private Training Strategy: In private training, I’ll aim for a medium score. Because I’m not part of a career district, I’m confident that I won’t be given a high score. To begin with, I’ll grab a rapier and slice and dice a dummy as quickly and efficiently as possible. I’ll avert my eyes from false blood if I have to. Then once I’m done, I will strange another dummy. If there’s time left, I will bow my head and face away from the Gamemakers before leaving early.

Interview Angle: In the interview, I will try to say as little as possible. The Capitol likes enigmas, so I will act like one. At all times, I will try to reduce the amount of eye contact, maybe seem quite miserable. I will hope that my interview will be remembered by the Capitol, but forgotten by the other tributes.

Bloodbath Strategy: In the bloodbath, I will either go for the full package of a backpack and a weapon or just a backpack. If it’s the latter, I will grab the nearest backpack and flee. But if I want the full package, I will try to search for uninhabited areas. Hopefully, I will find a garrotte or a rapier. But if not, I will search in a different area. When I leave the bloodbath, I will make camp not too far from there, in an area that can easily cover me.

Games Strategy: Throughout the games, I will try to lure the careers away from the cornucopia each day. Most of the time, this will be by lighting fires to lure them to the spot like moths to a light. I will then go to the cornucopia and try to take out any careers that are guarding the area. But I will only go after them if they’re on their own. If I have to separate them, I will throw pebbles over the area, distributing them evenly. If one of them is on their own and out of view, I will quickly stab them with the rapier or strangle them with the garrotte, depending on what weapon I have. But if I don’t have one, I will distract them to find a weapon.

Alliance: I will go alone in the games. I don’t easily trust anybody, in case they accuse me of things that I clearly haven’t done.

Token: When I participate in the hunger games, my token is a pendant showing the mark of the Mallories: A raven, with its wings spread out.

Trivia

 * I hope that Corbin is going to be a future dragon of the wiki. After I finish him off, he'll likely be the last super long tribute I create, and the only male dragon of mine. (When I finish him, celebrate with party poppers)


 * This method of telling his backstory will be different to the other dragons. Whilst Eliza, Scylla and Profecia are told in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd person in one person's view, Corbin's backstory will be told from 4 characters: Corbin himself, his lover Celeste, his sister Dusk and his brother Khan.


 * The idea for his brothers name came from the old lead singer of Conception and Kamelot, Roy Khan.


 * His name was thought up of by Kekai.


 * He is one of my most depressing tributes yet.
 * Out of all my tributes, he's the one with the most songs to inspire him, with 4.
 * But technically, each of the songs portrays an aspect of one of the 4 main characters
