Name: Marco de Jesus

Gender: Male

Age (15-21): 18

City: Panama City

Height: 5'9

Personality: (a bit) flirtatious, brotherly, usually optimistic, hard-working, and kind, but also secretive, hard, and cold

Appearance: dark brown hair, dark chocolate eyes, Morena-like skin color (he's 1/2 Panamanian, and 1/2 Filipino), lean yet still muscular

Backstory: The illegitimate son of a well-known Panamanian governor, Marco since birth, lived with his mother, two brothers, and sister in a small house in the Philippines. His mother never really cared for her children - sure, she loved them, but neglected them by always being found spending her nights at her boyfriend/fiancé's home. Thus, Marco raised his siblings alone, being both their brother, mother, and father. Marco never hated his mother; but always bailed her out from jail, and cared for her during her hangovers. In an attempt to earn some money for his family, Marco bravely decides to work for his mother's boyfriend, a rather suspicious yet rich businessman who sends Marco to Panama, telling him that he would inform him of what his job would be once he got there. Marco reluctantly accepted, and telling his siblings he would be back in a month, Marco left for Panama. Much to his surprise, everyone in Panama was silent, and spoke in hushed whispers, preparing for the day of Reaping - something Marco had thought wouldn't happen in this country. However, before he realized that the very same week he had arrived was the week of Reaping, Marco was chosen and could do nothing to stop it.

Token: a small heart woven together by thin wood strips - given from his siblings before he had left for Panama

Preferred Weapons : daggers and knifes

Fears: Emotionally - what happens to his family if he fails, and failing his responsibility as his siblings' protector. Physical- deadly hornets

Weaknesses: Emotionally - his love for his family, little children, the thought of killing someone or knowing that he's responsibly for the death of thousands, trusting easily. Physical - Fauna, Flexibility, Creating and setting up traps, Endurance (Marco also has bad communication skills - he's not very good at English, and tend to come off as mean sometimes)

Strengths: Climbing, Swimming, Speed, Agility

Interview Angle: His mentors will want him to appear charming and flirty, but to add a little more flair to the plot, you can write him being the exact opposite way

Bloodbath Strategy: Grab the closest bag to you, and run.

Games Strategy: Stay away from the crowd, and focus on surviving. Try not to kill or come in contact with anyone, unless necessary. And most of all, keep your eyes on your target.

Alliance: Loner, unless anyone would like to request an alliance.

Sorry for the late entry, I was still thinking about what to write!
