Spectrus Family

Ah the Spectrus family. Often called the "Spectri" to avoid the awkwardness of referring to them as "Spectruses". This is a rather gothic and odd bunch, with the exception of the family leader; Shade. Besides Shade holding the family together, everyne has a status. For example: This family has gained fans. For example, Blade Spectrus, a tribute created by Tehblakdeath. Blade is the outcast. If you didn't tell, the male members have rhyming names whilst the females' names represent their personalities. Sorcera is like a sorceress/witch, being able to seduce her victims into her traps. Lumina is the brighter one, being innocent but supportive too. Tiara is the spoiled princess, pulling pranks as she pleases and always being pampered.
 * Rade: The odd one
 * Frade: The evil one
 * Sorcera: The slutty one
 * Lumina: The innocent one
 * Tiara: The troublemaking one

Some interesting facts about this family is the way it interacts. Shade, being the leader, is always receiving a certain attention from his siblings. Sorcera teases him a lot, Frade hates him, Rade tries to introduce him into the same interests, Tiara is always pranking him, and Lumina keeps him smiling. A family circle showing their interactions will be uploaded for a better interaction explanation.

The Spectri are designed to colfict and work with the other users' tributes, for example. Say Frade is from district 9 in one games, and his bloodthristy dominance gives him leadership of the careers like he normally does. This will create envy between the careers in those games, making a big conflict. However, Frade might encourage the other loners to stand out without trying, but this depends on wether or not advice is permitted.

On the other hand, Shade works well in both an alliance and as a loner. For example, in LightStone123's 325th Games, he is by far the most effective and strongest anti-career along with Mist Scorchil. However, in Bignate97's Hunger Games, he is currently doing incredibly well alone without a single scratch on him. Again, the impact the tributes have in the games all work perfectly on the rest of the tributes.

Now, without further ado, let me present to you the Spectrus family's applications!

Shade Spectrus
Name: Shade Spectrus

Age: 15

Gender: Male

District: 5/3/7/8

Weapon: Dagger, Crossbow, Simple yet Fatal Traps

Appearance : 6'2, Intimidating and looks very hardened/cold hearted. He has long black hair with red outlines and a normal build. A spectral themed Heterochromia makes Shade stand out, one eye being green and the other being purple, they almost glow in the darkness. He has a tired yet strong willed look on his face and you can see that he is ready to fight when the time comes.

Personality: Quiet, cold, logical.

Backstory:  Shade was a very isolated 16 year old back home. 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.

Shade has a brother named Frade who he considers "the evil side of me as a human, except it took the form of my brother". Frade is a rather satanic boy, but this is because Shade made a deal with the devil in a dream to keep Frade from being born autistic. It worked, but after four years of life, Frade began showing very devil-influenced habits. Shade moved away from his home district after an incident at a previous reaping that resulted with a scar on Frade's right eye and a dead peacekeeper. Now, he fears the day he will have to be in the games with his younger brother and hopes that if that does happen, that they meet as allies and not enemies.

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.

Feast Strategy: 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.

Final Battle Strategy: 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.

Allaince: Anti-Career, in general he is allies with Kodai, Mist, Yuki, Duskus, Ares and Blanc

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
 * Win

Sorcera Spectrus
Name: Sorcera Spectrus

Age: 17

Gender: Female

District: 0/1/2/3/4/5/7/8

Weapon: Dagger, Crossbow, Poison, Throwing Knives

Appearance : One of the Spectrus girls, Sorcera bears black hair with the front part being a poison purple. Being a fan of witches, Sorcera is almost always seen wearing sickly green eyeliner with a skull hairpin on each side of her bangs. She too has heterochromia much like Shade, except this is a faint lilac and an intense yellow. The colors of poison in most cultures. Having a crush on Kodai, Sorcera too has fangs that she had molded as well.

Personality: Sarcastic, Lustful, Very cunning and deceiving. Just like a true witch she can coax and bribe people into doing things they wouldn't do. She also prides herself often

Backstory: A lustful young lady who does whatever she feels like doing to someone, Sorcera is capable of even using her "physical powers' to drive people to some sort of trance. Yes, I mean boobs.

The eldest of the Spectrus Sisters, Sorcera is never really at home. She is an avid fan of witches and anything related to it and dreams of being what the town fears one day. However, her very sarcastic tones and actions tend to drive even herself crazy and she just gives up on whatever shes doing. Truly a looker, you would expect Sorcera to be the town's.. err.. "deposit", as one would put it. But no, she has conserved herself for the apple of her eye, the one who will never notice her: Kodai Hitogoroshi.

She had first seen him when she was 8, sitting alone at the academy, playing with pineapples in a rather amusing manner. She then noticed his curious teeth as they became more and more pointed. Believing he was trying to mimic a ghoul of sorts, this instantly infatiuated Sorcera. Being a secret admirer of sorts, Kodai became a bit paanoid after finding notes in his locker. Sometimes he just looked at them with a confused look on his face and sometiems he'd just stare at it blankly, burst out laughing and abruptly recover only to put it back in his locker.

Nowadays, Sorcera just dedicates herself to doing more "witchcraft" (which is really just cute little drinks that get you drunk just by smelling it) and learning how to fight. She couldn't care less about the games because she knows that she's able to adapt in training when the time comes. However, she knows how to create poison and again like any Spectrus family member, she has an affinity for daggers and crossbows.

Strengths: She knows how to create effective poisons and has a naturla skill with daggers and crossbows. She has a desirable body which helps her seduce her opponents like a witch coaxing children into her candy house.

Weakness: She's a bit of a skank, so she could end up sleeping with someone instead of killing them. She is also a bit too confident and can be bossy, which leads to potential betrayal if she can't find a way to apologize. She also stalks peole she is very fond of (Gasai Yuno, anyone?)

Fears: Being tricked, reality

Bloodbath Strategy: Purposely show off your body as you grab a weapon and kill at least two tributes, then escape with your group or just escape in general.

Games Strategy: She will create poisoned liquids and such and leave it around as if it was dropped food during an escape. She will also hunt for tributes here and there, stopping only to lure weaker tributes into being some sort of "guard" by promising them a "reward".

Feast Strategy: Go out with a group and take your things, then when you return to camp poison your allies' food as they sleep, saving the untainted food for yourself and maybe even take advantage of the situation (wink wink)

Token: Her skull hairpins

Alliance: Will ally with anyone, but if Kodai is in the games she will stick with just him.

Interview Angle: Be a bit slutty but be very bloodthristy when you speak. Be some sort of "sex icon" for the games and act "sexy"

Mentor Advice: Well you're a looker. Shame you might die or come back with some scars though. I assure you however, beauty can be a weapon.

Frade Spectrus
Name: Frade Spectrus

Age: 14

Gender: Male

District: 1/2/4/5/3/7/8

Weapon: Dagger, Crossbow, Mind Games, Traps, Throwing Knives,

Appearance : An exact opposite of Shade Spectrus. Frade has short red hair with black outlines and red eyes the color of zombie blood. An angered look mixed with his mood is always on his face (like a mix of anger and happiness or anger and sorrow). Its always anger with something. A scar is on his right eye as well

Personality: Evil, Cunning, Independent and very Merciless. He has a hellish need for bloodshed, and actually DRINKS goat blood to fit his favorite mythical creature; ''La Chupacabra. ''He also has a very vulgar way of talking, cussing in most sentences. (feel free to censor the swear words)

Backstory: Kept a secret to the world until he was picked for the gamess, Frade Spectrus is the reason Shade is so quiet. He considers himself Shade's evil side formed into a human by the status of a brother, and since he was born Shade's life was just like the home of Frade's soul. Hell.

He is inspired by all things hellish in the world, real or not and has a very negative religious perspective. He believes in God, but he sees God as a nusciance and thinks that all bad things are challenges he must overcome. His favorite mythical creature is the Chupacabra and he claims that he once saw the Chupacabra. A few games back, part of the arena's force field was glitched and it resulted in the Chupacabra mutt escaping. Frade uses this to further support his story.

He gained the scar on his left eye after a small "fight" with Shade at a reaping. It started like any brotherly argument and led to Frade's face being dragged along the stone walls of the justice building, tearing at the flesh near his right eye. Frade was quiet but when he saw his scar in the mirror he began to laugh maniacally, pointing out that he sees the devil's grin in the scar. Nobody knows why he claims to see it, but Shade knows why.

The doctors had diagnosed Frade with autism, so his parents did everything in their power that they could. However, the 9 months were coming to an end, and Shade wanting a normal brother made a deal with the devil to have Frade come out without Autism. Well, Frade came out without autism like Shade asked, but at 4 years of life for Frade, he began to draw simple stars inside every circle he could find and reach. Slowly as the years passed, more satanic symbols began appearing on everything Frade found. The night he began to drink goat blood, he left a note on his desk that made a pun on his name:

"Are you a-FRADE? :)"

Now, Shade feels that Frade's madness and satanic customs are his fault and the irony of all this is that he feels the exact same way he would have if Frade was born with Autism. Now, Frade has an evil inside him, and the games will only make it even bigger and stronger. Will Frade die only to free himself from the hell he's created for himself? Or will the victor of the games be the devil's child?

(Fun fact, he isn't a satanist. He's a quaker, someone who believes in equality)

Strengths: He has very evil ways of plotting attacks and using weapons, and he can endure hunger do to very odd eating habits. Frade can scare people away well too, but that only makes up for his low combat stamina.

Weakness: His obsession with demons and mythical creatures makes him no better than an autistic child. He doesn't have tantrums but he gets carried away with his "artwork". Like any member of the Spectrus family, he is also very independent.

Fears: Being overpowered. "If I'm to die in this dump, its because I was being an idiot, not because a little brat whyo got lucky did so".

Bloodbath Strategy: Run in, grab one weapon and one bag of food, and kill your way out of there regardless of who it is.

Games Strategy: He'll hunt for tributes actively, stopping only to eat or look for food.

Feast Strategy: He will arm himself with his best weapons and take his bag along with an enemy district's bag.

Token: A pentagram pin.

Alliance: Alone, careers if he feels happy with the company he will have.

Interview Angle: Talk about how the chupacabra and lucifer drive you to kill and answer the interviewer's questions thoroughly.

Mentor Advice: He didn't get any advice because he feels that his instinct will serve him best.

Tiara Spectrus
Name: Tiara Spectrus

Age: 13

Gender: Female

District: 0/1/2/3/4/5/7/8

Weapon: Dagger, Crossbow, Sickle, Slingshot, Traps

Appearance: The youngest Spectrus sibling, Tiara has short and slightly messy hair with a pink/lilac highlight covering the front of her hair. She has a rather curious look on her face, her eyebrows raised as if she had noticed something she wants to tinker wtith. She has emerald green eyes and a "good girl" act that she always uses.

Personality: Cunning, mischievious, a liar and a thief. She likes getting other people into trobule, and if she gets caught she will try to blame it on someone else. She is also bubbly and giggles a lot, especially if a prank works.

Backstory: The youngest sibling is always the most mischevious sibling, especially Tiara. Being pampered since birth, she feels that she can get away with ANYTHING. She learned this after she blamed a broken window on Frade, her parents bought the story and Frade was grounded. Giggling like a scoolgirl, Tiara thought of many pranks to pull on her siblings, she never needed a toy or a video game to entertain herself.

When she became older, Tiara began to adapt to simple things like slingshots, her favorite pranking tool. Eventually, she became a master at ranged weapons and one time, Shade lent her his crossbow. She began to practice in the woods behind her home and her aim improved even more. She then became old enough for the games to reap her. This was something she both feared and wanted. She feard it because she could die, but she wanted it because she would have a bigger place to pull her pranks at, and for once see how dangerous they can be.

Strengths: She is very deceiving and a good liar due to her being pampered ridiculously at home. She has very good aim with a slingshot/bow/crossbow and she is also a good thief.

Weakness: She's young, and like any young person their strength won't be as superior as an older tribute's strength. She is also overconfident about her skills.

Fears: Getting caught, having enemies

Bloodbath Strategy: Grab a slingshot or dagger and go up to someone from behind. Steal their weapon and run off whilst taking hard escape routes so they can't chase you easily. Stick with your group and try to bring them supplies.

Games Strategy: She's going to try to have the members of her group kill each other off by causing distrust between them, then she's going to try and lead the remaining tribute's trust towards her to ensure her survival and protection.

Feast Strategy: Tell the group that you're going to get the bags, then steal all their bags and ditch the group by heading in the other direction of the arena.

Token: Her skull hairpins

Alliance: She will stay with the careers but have them kill each other off by framing them or lying so the anti-careers have an advantage. Almost like a "robin hood" character.

Interview Angle: Be cute and say jokes to make yourself look like the game's "little sweetheart"

Mentor Advice: Well aren't you the cutest thing! I'm not falling for that act, but you can sure as hell use that against the other tributes. Have them distrust everyone but you, and believe me they'd die just to keep YOU alive.

Rade Spectrus
Name: Rade Spectrus

Age: 15

Gender: Male

District: 0/1/2/3/4/5/7/8

Weapon: Dagger, Crossbow, Molotov Cocktails, Flint & Steel

Appearance : The middle man of the Spectrus Brothers, Rade has spiked hair with red and black streaks evenly divided throughout each spike. A joyful look on his face is always there, with hints of hyperactivity. His purple eyes glow day and night in and kind of light (ohey, I rhymed)

Personality: Hyperactive, Willing, Dominant and a born Leader. He can get on anyone's good side somehow.

Backstory: Being in the middle isn't always easy. Espcially if you're bewteen a satanic brother and a quiet philosopher. Rade Spectrus however, is the balance between the three brothers. "If I wasn't here, neither would Frade or Shade". Rade is the "family manager", being the one who as I stated before, keeps everyone in their place.

An avid admirer of fire, Rade does have his odd habits. He likes crafting firestarters such as molotovs and such, testing them over at the abandoned part of the district. His favorite type of firestarter is flint and steel. He is amused by how simple items can cause such a large amount of chaos and destruction and he keeps a chest full of it in his room.

His relationships with his brothers are in his favor, being a born leader and dominant speaker. Frade however, despises Rade due to the fact that Rade is older than him and treats him like a sheep. He also likes blades, collecting things ranging from a butterknife up to a grand ruler's sword. He admits to sometimes practicing a flaming sword by dipping the blade in tree sap.

Rade is an awkward leader who can be lovable or a threat. Overall, he could be an all around firestarter in the games.

Strengths: The pyro you've always wanted on your team, he is a genius as making and controlling fires. He has good aim with a crossbow and better accuracy with a blade. Rade is also a good and lovable leader, giving him an advantage in loyalty.

Weakness: His hyperactivity can have him rush into things a bit too quickly without thinking. He also has a slight case of ADD, which is ironic since fires need full attention in order to be managed.

Fears: As expected, he fears lar amounts of water. Near that, he feels small and helpless.

Bloodbath Strategy: Run up and grab some sort of firestarter, food, and blade. After that just leave with your group, don't stay to fight with anyone.

Games Strategy: He will lead (or at least try to) his group and leave flame traps above the paths they take. such as a tripwire traps that drops a molotov on whoever passes by. Of course he'll make sure he has someone to help with that.

Feast Strategy: Go up and grab your bag, then light a fire around the mouth of the cornucopia to impede your enemies from reaching their things.

Token: An empty lighter

Alliance: Will ally with anyone, but he would like to be an anti-career mainly.

Interview Angle: Be kind to the interviewer and show a leader's heart and spirit. Show that fire is no longer a sign of rebellion, but a sign of strength

Mentor Advice: Rade, you got a nice little system going on here with those allies of yours. Don't get too soft on them, because I know they aren't being soft on you. Just.. don't pull a "stray dog" and let them walk all over you

Lumina Spectrus
Name: Lumina Spectrus

Age: 14

Gender: Female

District: 0/1/2/3/4/5/7/8

Weapon: Dagger, Crossbow, Axe/Tomahawk, Darts/Poison Darts

Appearance : Being an admirer of Mist Scorchil, she has brown hair about the same tone as Mist with gold highlights. She has icy blue eyes and a slightly shy look on her face.

Personality: Logical, Loyal, Dedicated and Kind. A bit Melancholy however.

Backstory: Lumina is the Spectrus sibling nobody ever knew about. Maybe because she doesn't look like one. Yes, she does not look like her family members, this is because she is devoted to being like Mist Scorchil, her biggest crush and her idol.

Mist was just another kid in Lumina's class, but he stood out to Lumina. Lumina could feel Mist's kind aura around him. In her eyes, Mist was a hero just waiting to happen. Since that day she dyed her hair the same as Mist and left little notes here and there for him, keeping him in good moods and motivating him to keep following his dream of being an assassin.

Besides Mist, Lumina is very supportive and motivational with her friends. She helps with simple advice up to philosopy that Mist would come up with on a normal basis. Now, what makes Lumina stand out in the shadows is the fact that nobody has been aware that she's the heart of all the happenings in the district. At least the happenings that happen around Mist and his friends. Rebel's very odd and isolated customs are due to a misinterpreted piece of advice she had given him. Duskus' sins are because of Lumina's more comftorable approach to Mist from a distance. Kodai's psychotic customs are because she scared him when he was younger and this made Kodai become unstable and feel the need to be scarier than whatever it was that scared him. Yuki's Every little thing is influenced or caused by her.

Basically saying, she is a very kind, loyal, smart girl who makes an impact with whatever she does. Watching Mist had taught her how to use weapons and fight, and oveall she's a genderbent version of Mist with a slight personality change.

Strengths: She is a lot like Mist in terms of combat, she can dodge well and can use axes with skill, especiallyy darts. She is also kind and lovable, you wouldn't want to kill her if you had to. Unless you were a career, then it'd make sense.

Weakness: She's easy to push around and can get lost in thought. She is also known to daydream and have her head in the clouds.

Fears: Losing Mist or an important ally

Bloodbath Strategy: Try to lay low and stick with the strongest member of your alliance, and a you do pick up some darts and food. Then escape with the group.

Games Strategy: She will just go with the flow and be a pacifier for her allies, soothing them or giving them advice when they're in need. She will protect those who matter most to the alliance and she won't betray anyone at any time

Feast Strategy: Try to be sneaky as she grabs her bag and hurry back once you do.

Token: A notebook she plans to write in describing life in the arena

Alliance: She will be an anti-career, especially if Mist is in the games.

Interview Angle: Be kind and gentle with the way you speak, and confess some things to create intrigue

Mentor Advice: Lumina, you're in these games and I know I won't stand seeing such a kind and beautiful person like you die like a nobody in them. You have something, someONE to fight for. The games are a wake-up call on how much you truly want to live your life Lumina.

Trivia

 * The Spectrus family is a mix of Russian, Scottish and Egyptian ancestry
 * It is not clarified if the "Spect" in Spectrus stands for "Spectral" or "Spectrum". Mistfire333 claims it to be both, due to the unique colors they all share and their gothic family ties.
 * The family has a ranking: Shade is the leader, Sorcera is the co-leader, Frade is the center, so is Tiara, and Lumina/Rade share the shadows of the family.
 * Shade is the most mature, while ironically enough Sorcera is the most immature.
 * Half of the Spectri are based off people I know, whilst the other half is simply people I wished I knew. Or maybe not, depends.
 * The Spectrus family is the second biggest family so far in the wiki, tying with the Assain family if you don't count Blade. If you DO count Blade, it is the largest, tied with the Lisbuten family. (SIDE NOTE: If the number changes or a new family is created bigger than this one, please fix this)
