Ricardo Bonvite Sreline
She's been hardened by the games, and now she's playing.
Dropping her childish items (her teddy bear ears, elephant doll), she's ready to kill.
In the ruined district, she found some string in what looked to have been a common room. She used it to tie up some bones and make herself a bracelet. "I am a tailor. Clothing is my life, and death will come over me before I give it up."
Her sponsor gave her a knife, and she tied the string around the hilt of it, her first weapon since the games began.
Bring it on.

Comments: This entry surprised me. I love her progression. I think her character is wonderful. I would have liked to have her keep even just a small part of her innocence, but it still works as is. I'm still not super happy with the overall visuals, but this is definitely my favorite this round.

Comments: This entry almost feels like a parody of the character from before. I mean, I'm not against funny avatars, but when the character was very serious, I don't really understand the sudden change. I kind of love/hate the fact that he apparently didn't get any real wounds. I like that you took the chance and that makes him feel even more cocky and strong, but to just assume he'd be entirely unharmed is a bit of a stretch. I would have even just have loved to see some damage on his clothing. Something that would actually show something beyond what he's been.

The end is close at hand. And still, Anise wasn't any closer to winning, let along surviving. She was healthy enough even with all of the close calls, but she still had no way to make an offensive move. Think, all she had to do was think...Even within snow there is still life. After all snow wasn't death it was...life. It was Water! Water was the key, if she could find water she could find the vegetation she needed to make a decent poison, and she would be back in the game! Now all she needed was a weapon, she mused quietly. Something to really turn the tables...and as if answering her prayer a little white parachute fluttered from the sky attached was a massive box nearly the size of her. Her surprise overtook her suspicion and she quickly pried open the wood. Inside was a simple sickle. It was genius! Her sponsor really was looking out for her. The sickle was a perfect weapon for her, well sized, sturdy materials, and sharp enough, definitely sharp enough. Plus she didn't need to learn how to use it! Back home her family was in charge of harvesting wheat and hay, and she had more than enough practice with the tool turned weapon. Her action was clear. Do as best she could to rest to sleep the rest of the day, gather as much strength as possible. In the earliest part of the morning return to the water, gather as many useful plants as she could, and concoct a toxin. The cold weather and dense fog would keep her safe and if someone was stupid enough to attack her they wouldn't know the reach of her scythe until it was too late. With her scythe ladled in toxin she would creep into town before the sun rose and exterminate her competition. Even if it wasn't a killing blow, the poison would be sure to take care of them any how. The game was done, they had all suffered enough, any killings at this point were merciful. For now, all she had to do was sleep, and hope.

Comments: I like the decisions made with the round theme. And she seems to have come alive personality wise (mainly in the story though). But visually she still needs a massive push in a new direction.

Comments: Visually he gets lost in the cloud. He just needs something a bit brighter on his head to define it. I do enjoy how resolved and prepared he looks. He definitely feels hurt, but still ready to fight. I do wish that there was more explanation on how the terrain fighting/diversions were tied into his District.
