District 10 Male (76th Hunger Games)

"Thought that boy's tongue had been cut out, with how little he spoke to anyone here."

- Marina on the District 10 male

The District 10 Male, nicknamed "Ten" by his allies, was the male tribute from District 10 in the 76th Hunger Games. A silent and surprisingly strong tribute, the District 10 Male was dangerous enough to be considered worthy of the career alliance.

Biography
The District 10 Male lived in District 10 prior to the 76th Hunger Games, where it is unknown how he lived his life. Unlike most careers, he was reaped for the Games.

Training Center
In the fic, The District 10 Male fights Marlin during training, managing to beat the career boy with a bullwhip. This gets the tribute into the career alliance, having proven himself strong enough.

Cornucopia Bloodbath
Like most of the other tributes, The District 10 Male runs toward the Cornucopia and fights for supplies. When he arrives, he grabs a bullwhip, terrorizing tributes with the unique weapon. He manages to lasso Samra, pulling her to the ground. Before he can drag the girl towards him, the boy's whip is cut, ruining the lasso. He then notices the 9 male attack Copper, which causes the 10 male to draw another whip and quickly garote the boy from 9, strangling the tribute until death.

Alliance
As is typical in the arena, the Career Tributes of the 76th Hunger Games form an alliance. The alliance at first includes Copper and Raini from District 1, Aristides and his district partner Juniper from District 2, Marlin and Marina from District 4, and the District 10 Male.

Hiding in Plain Sight
Although part of a major alliance followed often throughout the games, the 10 male is still rarely mentioned, only being heard speaking a few times between the third and fourth days. He joins the search for Marina, his silence making him less noteworthy as the games progressed.

Anti-Career Attack
On the fifth day, the anti-career alliance raid the cornucopia, the attack killing Marina and Marlin in the inital stages of combat. The 10 male is late to the battle, using his whip to lasso Saito around the throat and begin choking him out.

Death
As he strangles Saito though, the 10 male is surprised by Samra, who had returned to the fight. His second whip is ruined by the same girl who'd ruined his first, as the boy tries to draw a knife. Before he can get his weapon out of it's sheathe, the boy is killed by Samra who plunges a sword through his chest.

Overall, The District 10 Male placed 11th out of 24 tributes.
