Damien True

Damien True was the male District Nine Tribute for the Twenty-Eighth Hunger Games.
== Pre-Games Life ==
Damien's childhood took a difficult turn when his father died. His mother struggled to provide for Damien and married a wealthy man named Cultur. Cultur felt no affection for Damien and constantly made his life difficult while doting on his own children with Damien's mother. When Damien was sixteen years old Cultur used his influence to rig the Reaping to select Damien.
== Games Description ==
Arena: Tropical archipelago
Damien took his chances in the Bloodbath and ran in to successfully net a scythe and two pockets full of smaller items. He hid himself in the vegetation of the closest island and spent the night imagining what he would do if he returned to Nine and saw Cultur again.
A week into the Games Damian ran across Mei Cheung as she lay dying of sepsis. Damian debated with himself whether he should kill her or attend to her wound. He decided to do neither. He took her supplies and walked away after briefly holding her hand.
As Damien was reinforcing his damp shoes with Mei's tape he sensed that he was about to be attacked. He reacted quickly enough to meet Chantal Ivingin of District One before she struck. She bypassed his block and speared him shallowly in the stomach. He was able to fight back and slash her cheek but was fatally wounded when she removed her spear and stabbed him again. Chantal stood over him and continued stabbing until his cannon sounded.
== Placing ==
7th
== Personality ==
Damien's outlook was colored by his unhappy home life. Life with Cultur had darkened him into a sarcastic and bitter boy who shut relationships down before they could go sour. His pessimism carried over into the Games. His greatest motivation was his failed hope to get revenge against his stepfather.
== Trivia ==
