Information
Name: Jaguar Taz

District: One

Gender: Male

Age: Eighteen

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Personality: Jaguar is not what one would expect from such an eccentric and unusual name. Though many from his district flaunt their flashy, luxurious nomenclature as part of their behaviour as a Career, Jaguar is defined by his opposing traits: generally speaking, he is a kinder, softer person. Though trained as a Career, he hasn't exactly "dedicated" his entire life to the cause. He'd much rather make peace with his enemies than slaughter them. Generally speaking, Jaguar is a cool as ice charmer, playing up his pretty-boy looks for the cameras. This has the effect of making him appear like an airhead at times, though he tends to be much more aware than he lets on. Most things don't escape a predator's eyes, and this is no different for him.

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 172 lbs

Weapon(s): Primarily, Jaguar uses his namesake's claws as his weapon of choice: of course, coming in the form of knive gloves, like he's some Freddy Krueger clone - though hopefully replacing the icon's predatory behaviour with dashing good looks. He is a close-range fighter with astonishing speed and carefully-placed swipes. However, this preference is not a detriment: given that his preferred weapon isn't necessarily placed at a cornucopia, he also learned to train himself with throwing knives. While he's not about to break sniping records, he's managed to gain quite an aptitude with them.

History:

Backstory=imagine writing this??? Guidelines/Condensed Version=
 * From a young age Jaguar took a liking to the wilderness. He wanted to go and tour parks and nature reserves, however limited they were in District 1.
 * His parents, a 31 year-old Peacekeeper officer named Isaac and a 25 year-old jeweler named Sylvia, figured he would grow out of this if they let him do these things.
 * Because of the limited amount of wholly natural areas in a luxury district, Jaguar eventually became accustomed to visiting its zoos and aquariums.
 * It was in these places where Jaguar began to discover his true nature: he wanted to spend his life living among wildlife.
 * There came a perfect time when he was 14. His father was out for training in District 2, and wouldn't be back for a week. His mother was busy at work, and would likely think he was at the Career academy.
 * Jaguar slipped by the low-security perimeter on the outskirts of District 1, and officially entered the wilderness of Panem.
 * Though he tried to tough it out, the elements and lack of food began to get to him after a while. He was wholly unready for a life among these critters.
 * He spent four days in the forest before being forced back home due to an encounter with a coyote, leaving a scar on his face.
 * When asked about his whereabouts, he lied: he was at an academy-sponsored camp and seminar, and must have forgot to tell Sylvia.
 * He explained his scar as having come from a stray cat while making his way back home that afternoon.
 * Having not been pressed on these things by his family, Jaguar continued to make excursions outside the boundaries of District 1, though now only for mere hours at a time.
 * Jaguar also continued his training at the academy, eventually receiving the honor of being chosen as their volunteer for the upcoming Hunger Games when he hit 18 years of age.
 * It's time for the wild child to prove whether nature has run its course or not.

Strengths: Jaguar has developed a strong skillset that makes his weaponry viable: he is a fast, agile, and strong mover. This mobility is largely his biggest asset, allowing him to manuever his way around attacks coming his way. Jaguar has made himself into a strong and valuable member of his crop of tributes by mastering these attributes.

Weaknesses: Jaguar is probably describable as a himbo. Though he's never failed an exam in his life, logic tends to escape him, and he has managed to fall for many a trap or trick in his time. He's rather gullible, and these attributes can lead to a boatload of trouble for the wild child.

Fears: Jaguar has developed general cynophobia in response to his attack by a coyote while in the wilds of District 1. Except for pugs: he thinks pugs look funny, so he isn't scared of them. Again, total fucking himbo.

Reaping reaction: Jaguar was a proud volunteer, and was capable and carried himself well during his presentation to Panem.

Group Training: Jaguar aims for the role of co-leader in the Career pack, and generally tries to handle helping the recruits (if any) of the pack in mastering their talents under the guidance of a lifelong Career.

Individual Sessions in Training: Jaguar tries to demonstrate his abilities with throwing knives in the simulator, also making a point of demonstrating his agility with the claws.

Interview Angle: Jaguar plays the role of humorist, joking with the interviewer as he tries to win a couple hearts. Whether this is because he's a himbo or not, who knows.

Alliance: Jaguar makes the sensible move and aligns himself with the Careers.

Token: Jaguar keeps an eagle feather that fell through the bars of his favourite zoo, tied onto a necklace he wears at all times.

Mentor Advice: I hope for your sake that the arena isn't an urban environment. I've heard how much you'd kill for a nature-based Games.

Inspiration and Etymology
Jaguar is a rewrite of one of my oldest tributes on the wiki, also named Jaguar Taz. Please don't look up old Jaguar. He's bad and terrible and somehow Tyler let him win a Games to become my first victor.

Jaguar was originally named for the animals that took care of his prior incarnation, a wild pack of jaguars that escaped from a Panemian zoo. Taz came from the professional wrestler: if memory serves, my uncle had mentioned him the day I wrote Jaguar, so the name was fresh in my mind.

Trivia

 * Literally my second-greatest creation if we're talking raw statistics. Won one of his games, came top 5 in a cancelled project, and then was 7th in a finished project, carrying a final average placement of 4.3 repeating.
 * Though it is not a core piece of his character, it is worth mentioning that Jaguar is gay. Please respect this by not putting him in a heteromantic or heterosexual relationship.
