Name: Brooklyn Pace

Gender: Male

City: New York City

Age: 17

Personality: Brooklyn is not your typical city boy. He is very involved in everything social wise and likes to be the center of attention. But rather than creating drama to be the center of attention, he earns attention. He's very good looking, and takes pride in that. He's also very hard working due to his athletic abilities and he pushes himself to do his best. So although he is from the city, Brooklyn has character. He's actually down to earn to some degree, but also likes to hang with the preps. This causes Brooklyn to be very friendly to just about everyone, although if you cross him, you better run as fast as you can. Brooklyn is also very goofy and loves banter. He's known to say things like "Cheeky" "Bants" "Aye (instead of hey)" "Bloody hell" (see http://www.effingpot.com/slang.shtml for more terms if you really want to know) and several other British terms, as he is half Brit -  half American. He has a British accent. He's obviously charming and loves to flirt. He's somehwat of a player, but doesn't do much more than a frisky kiss.

Backstory: Brooklyn comes from a diverse family. His mother is American, a strong back-boned woman who is your typical patriot. His father is a British Football (soccer) player who was travelling to the US on a work visa playing on an American Soccer team, and the US National Mens Team. Safe to say, they together created a good mix of a child: Brooklyn Pace. From a young age, Brooklyn showed interesting in sports AND learning, something his parents took pride in teaching him. Brooklyn was homeschooled, but luckily his participation in school sports kept him from being socially awkward. Anyway, Brooklyn has always been a natural leader amoung his team mates and developed a very friendly personality at a young age. Even as a child in elementary school, he took practicing for sports very seriously. In his off time from schooling and sports, his father would take him to the target range and practice with a bow, trying to get Brooklyn to be more "manly". At the time, Brooklyn disliked it, but it would serve him well later. In his youth Brooklyn was a quick learner and aspired to gain as much knowledge as he could. He was also interested in gaining as many friends as he could by being friendly and not judging others too hard. This has made him pretty loyal. But his father taught him that if someone screwed him over to disown them and that they were basically an enemy. Brooklyn adapted this and will make enemies of anyone who betrays his trust. Up through his elementary and tween years, Brooklyn had no hard time attracting girls, and some boys. He was very good looking and found out he could use this to his advantage. Luckily his absense from public school helped this from getting too out of hand. But nonetheless, Brooklyn has since always used this trait to his adavantage. Brooklyn, being home schooled, went through school pretty fast and "graduated" at the age of 16. e dedicated his year after that to athletic training and conditioning. He gained a lot of muscle during this time and became a better runner. Then, when they announced The Reduction Games, Brooklyn gladly volunteered to protect his city from genocide.

Bloodbath Strategy: Slay with the Careers, Watch out for himself, take control of cornucopia with the Careers

Games Strategy: Overall, Brooklyn wants to win (Obviously.) He'll stick with the careers for as long as he can, until it's narrowed down to 3 or 4 tributes. He'll wait till night, kill whatever of his allies as he can, and then leave, trying to avoid as much conflict as he can. If it comes down to a battle for the victory, Brooklyn won't hesitate to murder whoever he has to, even if he had established a relationship with them previously.
