Larcus Vonstorm

• Wave Vonstorm (younger sister)

• Cian Vonstorm (younger brother)

**Larcus Vonstorm** was District 4's male tribute for the 5th Annual Hunger Games, at 16 years old. He came in 2nd place. Larcus was the tribute complaining to Dallas about him not being fair in distributing food to all of them, as the victor had been feeding mostly the youngest and weaker tributes with rats he could find around the enclosure, the night before the Games - causing a clash between tributes as their either defended Dallas or sided with Larcus. He was also the one starting the rumor that Dallas had planned from the start to poison all of the other tributes through the meat he fed them with.

## Early life

Larcus lived in District 4 all his life, even before commuting before districts became forbidden. He and his siblings worked as deckhands on a large fishing vessel, who would often spend weeks at sea. His older brother, Surge, died during the war, whom Larcus was very close to. This led to him growing up to be a very angry and revolted boy. His parents were also never the same after Surge's death, which did not help his case. They neglected their remaining children a lot, often forgetting to feed them.

## 5th Annual Hunger Games

Larcus' name was called in the Reaping for 5th Annual Hunger Games, bringing great despair to his two younger siblings. His district partner was Hyria Lacrimosa, a girl one year younger than him with a sour-face.

### At the Capitol

That year was marked by an unusually high level of young tributes, at 15 or younger. Most came into the Capitol very weak and hungry, to which the male tribute from District 10 and oldest that year, Dallas Carson, made his mission to feed. He spent the first few hours at the animal pen where they would spend the night catching and trapping rats, then skinning them to feed the younger tributes.

Larcus, who was also very hungry, accused Dallas of not being fair to everyone, as up until that point, he had only been feeding the younger tributes. Angrily, he demanded Dallas to catch enough rats for all of them, getting the support of Hyria, his district partner, and of Granitta, from District 2. While others defended Dallas' actions, the boy still complied with Larcus' request, spending the rest of the evening catching more rats to feed the tributes as much as he could.

In the middle of the night, when Dallas was resting, Larcus once again demanded of the boy from 10 to catch more rodents. At that point, some of the tributes had already started showing symptoms of being sick, but the cause was blamed to dehydration. When Dallas refused catching anything more, Larcus put two and two together, accusing Dallas of deliberately poisoning everyone. In the middle of the accusations he almost starts a fight with Dallas, but is stopped by the couple from District 7.

### Arena

Being bigger and stronger than most tributes of that year, Larcus was able to resist to the poison for much longer, leading him to be one of the final tributes alive in the arena, together with Dallas. However, by then, he was already not able to move much, and was aware he was done for. Larcus stood just before the stands looking up and cursing Dallas, where the boy from Ten had climbed to stay away from conflict, while Larcus didn't have the strength to follow. In front of all the cameras, Larcus used his remaining strength to tell everyone what happened in the animal pen the night before, about what Dallas had done - accusing him once again of poisoning everyone on purpose. Dallas' anger kept growing with every word coming out of his mouth, finally taking the decision to face Larcus personally instead of waiting for the poison to do its work.

As the distance between both Tributes started to close, Larcus laughed and spat towards Dallas' direction, as he was aware that in his current condition, he wouldn't be able to beat Dallas in a fight - but he also did not want to give him any satisfaction. Enraged at his action and at all the accusations, Dallas quickly grabbed the boy's collar and did not hesitate one more second in cutting Larcus' neck open with his cleaver.

## Etymology

* "Larcus" is a variation of the word "glaucus", a latin word used to describe a range of pale colors from a yellow-green to a bluish-gray. Specifically in Larcus' case, the inspiration came from the blue sea dragon *Glaucus atlanticus,* a species of sea slug.
