## Personality

Flynn is described as having somewhat of a therapist personality.

He's also shown to care deeply for his family, as he was scared he would never see his daughter again.

## History

### Backstory

Flynn lived in District 2 with his girlfriend Brianna, with whom he was madly in love with. He planned on spending the rest of his life with her, even quitting training so they could be together. Shortly afterwards, Flynn discovered that Brianna was pregnant. Both of them were criticized by this, by choosing to have a child at such a young age. However, they decided to keep their daughter anyway, who they planned on naming Rosella. His plan was to marry Brianna once their last reaping year was over, until he was reaped for the games. To everyone's surprise, nobody volunteered in Flynn's place, despite everyone knowing about his girlfriend's pregnancy.

### Alliances

Being from District 2, Flynn was automatically a member of the Careers, alongside George Komisoros, Libra Wood, Chelsy Thomas, Sandy Elaxis and Cove Elaxis.

### 206th Hunger Games

Flynn joined the fighting in the Cornucopia Bloodbath around the same time as most of the other careers. First, he killed the unnamed District 11 Male in an unknown way, before joining his allies Cove and Sandy Elaxis, attempting to fend Vendetta Ajita away from the Cornucopia. After Vendetta flees, Flynn spots the unnamed District 6 Male trip over another tribute's corpse, before he walks over and kills him by slicing his throat with a knife. He and the other careers also witnesses Parjae Snikpan killing Chelsy Thomas, and is shocked by the incident.

After the bloodbath, Flynn joins Cove and attempts to comfort her after her brother, Sandy, was severely injured from an explosion, encouraging her not to give up and talks to her about his own family. He spends the rest of the day at camp with the rest of the careers. That night, they slept in shifts, with Flynn being alongside Cove.

On the second day, Flynn goes foraging around the arena with George, Libra and Cove, finding Astrild Biobio and Lilac Silverstorm inside an abandoned building. They enter combat, with Flynn and Cove being pinned against Lilac, who they cornered and supposedly killed, with the cannon signalling Willow Woodash's death firing at the same time Lilac was stabbed in the stomach with Cove's trident. Believing Lilac to be dead, Flynn and Cove went to assist the rest of their allies, who were fighting Astrild. During the fight, Astrild flees after pushing Libra and George down an open elevator shaft, but Flynn chases after her with Cove, who kills Astrild by throwing a trident at her chest.

Flynn starts off the third day in a lousy mood, having only gotten three hours of sleep, and having stayed on a shift with Libra, who criticized him for every mistake he made. He is then pulled away by Sandy, who had been growing suspicious of Libra. Sandy explains to Flynn and Cove that Libra is a threat and needs to be eliminated, and they're all in agreement. Suddenly, Flynn sees Sandy vomit blood, but he tries to pass it off. They have another discussion later on, until it is interrupted when Libra strikes Flynn in the shoulder with a naginata, causing him to drop. When he woke up, he tried putting pressure on the injury, but was unable to stop the bleeding, so he decided to cauterize the wound. Cove returned shortly afterwards, and Flynn learns of Sandy's death and that Libra got away. He tried to comfort Cove once again, shortly before the feast was announced.

Flynn and Cove were the first tributes to arrive at the feast. They tried to leave after collecting their district's bags, but were ambushed by Libra, who had formed a temporary alliance with Lilac Silverstorm, whom she kidnapped the previous day. As more tributes began to arrive, Libra ordered Lilac to kill Flynn, while she dealt with the other tributes. However, Flynn managed to block Lilac's knife, before knocking it out of her hands and using it to stab her to death. He then tried to leave with Cove again, but was once again blocked by Libra. They entered combat, and Flynn was sliced once again, being poisoned in the process as Libra now wielded a naginata with poison blades. However, Flynn managed to break Libra's leg with an axe blow, allowing Cove to kill her.

Flynn was the winner of the fourth sponsor poll, gaining an axe with a poison blade which he received the next day. Later on, Flynn was lured into a fight by Parjae Snikpan, the only living tribute other than him and Cove. During the fight, they attempted to pin each other down, entering a stalemate until Cove intervined and attempted to skewer Parjae with her trident. Parjae managed to dodge, but had his hand amputated by Flynn. Parjae still manages to kill Cove by launching her onto a broken lamp post, but is left weakened by his injuries and poisoning, leaving Parjae unable to react as Flynn swings the axe into his chest multiple times, killing him and proclaiming Flynn as the victor of the games.

### Aftermath

After the games, Flynn returns to his family in District 2, proposing to his girlfriend a year later and living with her and their daughter in Victors' Village.
