"Just listen to me and you'll most likely survive. I don't guarantee it though."

Current Age: 26

He had a younger sister and he would often spend time with her but since she was reaped and subsequently killed in the games he has found it hard to communicate to people in general. Roscoe had generally always been quiet and alone but now he refuses to speak up in most cases. He gets shy when around larger groups of people and even found it hard to make friends. Ever since winning the Hunger Games though he is getting better at communicating and is now tolerating larger crowds but he still stammers when he speaks in large groups. He has a strong dislike to the Capitol but he doesn't freely express it in fear for the worst.

Arena Description:

Prairie fields with long green grass. Perfect for traps and hiding, the arena had constant rain that happens everyday which usually floods the arena before draining a few hours later. The prairie is surrounded by mountain ranges as well which contains caverns and animals and the occasional cabin. Usually when the prairie fields flood it's source is from the melting of the snow in the mountains.

How He Won:

His crippling shyness ended up with him having no allies during the arena. During his time in training he deeply studied the concept of making traps and found that using a trident was much like using a pitchfork back at home. So when the bloodbath started he rushed towards the Cornucopia, avoiding several other tributes on the way. He had luckily managed to grab a trident and headed towards the mountains. He managed to stumble across a cabin which he stayed in for a couple of days, finding supplies and some rope. As the snow piles up in the mountains he used his knowledge of rope traps to set up traps within the snow, managing to kill a few tributes that stumble across the cabin. When it was down to just him and the District Two girl, his first instinct was to run away. He had managed to lose her and it took several hours until she had found him again. She attacked first with a flurry of arrows and he dodged most of them, he was hit once on the shoulder and once on his foot. When he had collapsed from the pain, he was approached by her wanting to kill him personally with a sword. As she grew closer there was a sudden snap and a rope encircled her foot suspending her into the air. She had been caught by a trap he had set up earlier, she dropped all her weapons and pulled herself up trying to untie the complex knot. That's when Roscoe took the chance to stand and ready his trident, before stabbing her with it, right on the chest.
