Author Games Compilation [Cycle 1]

Aikin Ralent [Tribute Form]

Game Title: Author Games: Lock and Key

Name: Aikin Ralent

Age: 18

Gender: Male

District: 7

Physical Description: With Aikin's tan complexion, masculine features, and brooding eyes, it isn't a mystery why girl's swoon over him. He has black hair that is usually styled up, but having entered the Games, he cut it as short as he dared. After years of swinging axes and carrying logs over his shoulders he's developed a muscular build, and his height only adds to the appearance of his strength. However, with this came a permanent slouch, and on days when he isn't feeling particularly "bright," others find him intimidating.

Personality: Aikin is not someone you could call friendly. If someone approaches him, he'll simply ignore them. If they speak to him, he'll continue to ignore them. If they press on, the ignorance continues. Several years of people trying to break through his bubble has given him a strong sense of resistance, even when offered the most attractive of offers in order to make him talk. No one has ever heard him speak, and he doesn't plan on changing that bit any time soon. However, he does have a soft spot for children and will try to help them out if need be, as long as he doesn't have to open his mouth.

Past: Aikin has no clue what happened in the first eleven years of his life. When told to think back, nothing but a blank slate pops up. He knows something must have happened to erase his memory, but he has absolutely no idea what they event could have been. He currently lives with adoptive parents who he's barely around since he's always away at work, hacking away at trees. Other than those few bits, his life has been mostly uneventful.

Strengths: He has no problem with killing, so defending himself will be a breeze. His appearance may intimidate others into leaving him alone. Being from Seven, he's a skilled climber and has a strong sense of direction and time.

Weaknesses: He has no clue how to swim. Sometimes he'll lapse into moments where he blacks out, and when he comes to, he has no memory of the time in between. Since he doesn't talk, it will probably be close to impossible for him to make allies.

Weapon of Choice: He would prefer a hatchet, if possible, but he could make do with a tomahawk or an axe just as good.

Drawn or Volunteered: Volunteered

Token: Nothing. He has nothing of value he would like to keep with him.

COMMENTS FROM THE GAME MAKERS:

Raina Denverview: "I can already tell this tribute's going to be a favourite. Who doesn't love a good mystery, and not remembering anything about your past would make people intrigued, including me. Tessa would be head over heels for you, I can tell you that much. Just lose the ignorance. It could get you killed."

Tessa Jardine: "You, Aikin, are on a trip to my Sponsor List. I'm having a hard time not to jot your name down right now. I'm a sucker for mystery, and you seem like a strong tribute. I'll be watching you, I promise you that."

Caesar Brook: "Typical of the ladies to go crazy about your past. Well, Aikin, I'm a man who likes to move on, so your past doesn't interest me. You seem strong and although your time-lapsing would make it harder for you to remember things, I think you have a pretty good chance. Just try and lose your silence. Make allies. Good luck, Aikin."
