August Rose

August Rose is a tribute made up by Pippycat. Please don't use him in any of your Games or fanfics without her permission. Thank you. <3

He is also the district partner of either Bee Clio, Spring Rose, Amity Rose, or Fern Rose, depending on if Pippycat enters another tribute for District 7, and who.

August
Name: August Rose

Gender: Male

Age: 18

District: 7 (12)

Appearance: August has short, neat brown hair, freckles, and light-brown eyes and is very tall for his age. He's quite muscley, also.

Token: None

Weapons: Mace, axe, bare hands (hand-to-hand combat)

Strengths: He is very physicaly fit and strong, and even though he looks slow, is very fast at running.

Weaknesses: He's not very good at climbing trees or swimming, and isn't very good at hunting animals for food due to his weapon choices.

Personality: August is a nice, quiet boy, until you anger him, when he can be very violent and cruel. However, it's very hard to anger him at all. Normally he is calm and quiet, and doesn't stick out much, except that he is tall. He's also very protective of the few friends he does have, and his 3 younger sisters (Spring Rose (16), Amity Rose (14), and Fawn Rose (12)). He usually doesn't like attention, and showing his feelings, so usually he tries to be his normal self.

Backstory
August is the oldest of four children. He was born into what is probably District 7's richest family, so he had a lot of food, necessities, and freedom and other things that normal District 7 kids didn't get get. Right after the fourth child, Fawn, was born, his father died in a forest fire that destoryed much of the district.

His mother took over their father's job, but August and his sisters couldn't do anything, because August was only 6, Spring was 4, Amity was 2, and of course Fawn was a newborn. So the four of them had to sit and watch while they got poorer and poorer as the district waited for the burned down trees to grow back.

When August was old enough, he started working at a bakery to earn more money. The forests were almost grown back, and they thought that their family could make it, but they weren't paying enough money to stay in their expensive house. August worked his hardest.

Spring was stealing from the market without her family -- or anyone, of course -- knowing, until one night the Hunger Games broadcast on TV was interrupted in District 7 with a live execution. August ran to the square, and beat the peacekeeper who was going to kill Spring. Spring screamed, and the whole crowd was quiet. August was going to be executed along with his sister, but he begged them not to kill her.

They didn't. Instead, they put August in jail while letting his family live. When the forests grew back, his family earned enough money once again to bail him out.

At the Reaping, it was his last year, while being Fawn's (youngest child's) first year at the Reaping.

Depending on District partner:

(If his district partner is one of his sisters): He knew when her name was called, he had to volunteer in the boy's place. He had to lead her to victory, even if it meant sacrificing himself.

(If his district partner is Bee Clio or another tribute): He watched the girl go up to the stage, and then, as his name was called, felt fear, but didn't let it show. He had to come back, for his parents, and for his sisters.

Games Info
Allies: If one of his sisters is his district partner, ally with them to help them win. Other than that, try to get into a group with 2-4 other people, but leave them eventually and take your sister with you.

Interview Angle: Nice, but dangerous. He wants to appear as a threat, but not too big to make himself a target of the Career's, and earn sponsors by making them think he will last long enough in the Games for them spend their money on.

Training Strategy: Make allies, preferably 2-4, and learn other tribute's weaknesses and strengths. If one of his sisters is his district partner, than help them through it. During private training, he will go for an average-to-high score, by showing off his physical srength, speed, and accuracy with a mace and axe.

Bloodbath Strategy: Go in for supplies and weapons, and help his allies to get their supplies and weapons, too. Then, find his allies and run off together. Only attack if attacked, and try to let your dark side show if you are attacked.

Feast Strategy: If his allies are still alive, go in for them and get their supplies. Only attack if attacked.
