Aurum Niteo

Aurum Niteo was the male District One Tribute for the Twenty-Fifth Hunger Games.
== Pre-Games Life ==
Aurum was elected to participate in the first Quarter Quell because he was a pickpocket. This alone would not have been enough, since there were many pickpockets in One, but one of his marks was Ruby D'Arcy, the daughter of One's mayor. Ruby wasn't angry at losing what to her was pocket money, but her father retaliated by arranging for Aurum to be elected for the Games.
== Games Description ==
Arena: Bombed-out Wasteland
Despite the circumstances of his Reaping, Aurum got along with District partner Ruby well and even experienced a budding relationship. It was cut short when Ruby was killed in the Bloodbath, which Aurum felt deeply.
Aurum was one of the few Tributes able to find water in the Arena. He did so by digging until he hit the water table, which was close to the surface. The pride and desire to maintain reputation led the people of District One to sponsor Aurum food, eliminating his other basic need. However, being unfamiliar with the concept of poverty or want, the clueless sponsors sent only jelly and chocolate, which was filling but not nutritious. As Aurum was eating, he was snuck up on by Nero Augustus of District Two. Nero broke Aurum's legs and started to slowly stab him to death, drawing it out for his amusement. Nero's preoccupation with his amusement prevented him from noticing the other Careers approaching. Disgusted by Nero's unneeded cruelty, they killed him, leaving Aurum to bleed out.

== Personality ==
Aurum was a roguish and easygoing boy. He lived a life of crime by necessity, not temperament, but he enjoyed the free and uncommitted lifestyle it brought. He was quick to forgive and look past differences, hence his easy friendship with the daughter of the man who condemned him.
== Trivia ==
* Aurum and Ruby broke a long tradition of volunteers from One, due to the Quarter Quell twist.
* Aurum's token was a golden ball from his father, since it was the symbol of thieves.
