Hamilton Prestegard's alive portrait.

Hammy Whammy (by Taiyou)

**Hamilton Prestegard**, is a participant of Sink or Swim's 22nd season, and a part of the killing game featured in *Danganronpa: Sink or Swim*. His title is the **Ultimate Sabreur**. His reason for appearing on the 22nd season seems to be for the fame and fortune given to the winner at the end of the show.

## Public History

### Prior to Sink or Swim

There isn't much documented about Hamilton's childhood other than the fact that he was born on the 27th of September XXXX in Trondheim, Norway, to previously professional fencer and historian Finnian Prestegard, and moved to Devonshire, England, during his adolescence. Though, one thing to note is the lack of any documentation of Hamilton attending any public schooling system, and was most likely homeschooled.

His name first came to light when the local media reported semi-professional fencer 17 year old H. Prestegard rushed to the hospital after an incident involving an old sword and a burglar. The papers report that according to his testimony, the teenager had been home alone, when a masked male had broken into their abode and attempted to steal his fathers valuable relics. In an attempt to scare the man away, Hamilton gave chase, and in a manic attempt to get the boy off of his trail, the robber grabbed a blade hung up on the wall and swung, cutting the lower half of Prestegard's left arm clean off before fleeing the scene. Despite this, there is no evidence of breaking and entering, and theorists speculate that this story may be far from the truth.

After a year of silence, the name returned, though this time in far more widespread news. At the young age of 18, Hamilton Prestegard had won a gold medal in the XXXX Paralympic games in the fencing tournament, representing Great Britain in the event.

## Name

Hamilton is a masculine name with English origin, meaning "treeless hill", while Prestegard means "a vicarage, typically with a farm attached to it."

## Physical Appearance

Hamilton Prestegard stands at 5’7 and weighs around 137 pounds, the complete average height and weight of a Norwegian male. His silver hair is grown out, though usually worn in a plait in public, with a large portion of loose hair covering his left eye, the shade of it complimenting his fair skin and cerulean colour of his visible eye. Despite looking fairly skinny, Hamilton is in reality on the muscular side due to exercising often, his frame resembling the mesomorph body type. Though, one noticeable thing is that he is missing the lower half of his left arm, and in its spot is a mechanical replacement. Both of his ears are pierced, with a single black stud on each lobe, and tied around his neck is a white jabot.

Over a normal white dress shirt is a darker grey waistcoat, both below a formal tailcoat in an ever so slightly lighter colour to it. The tailcoat has golden buttons lining each rim, along with two pockets for pens, coins, or anything else that’s worth keeping. Adding to his theme of grey clothing, his dress pants are too the same, its colour matching that of the waistcoat, held up by a black leather belt. Hooked to this belt is a sheath, where he safely keeps his sabre. To cover the fact that he has a prosthetic arm, Hamilton also wears a pair of silk, white gloves. And finally, to top it off, he wears black leather boots with laces, the top reaching the bottom of his knee.

## Personality

Confidence is basically his middle name! He’s social, and he doesn't hesitate to voice his opinion. The Ultimate believes himself to be a big-shot superstar, to the point where some may call him extremely egotistical, going as far as to call himself the Fencer Extraordinaire in his introduction to others. A tendency of his is to assume that everyone is his friend to him, acting offended whenever someone denies this claim. Hamilton is also a very emotional individual, never really bothering to hide any emotions unless it’s incredibly necessary to do so. Though not at all intelligent academics wise, he could definitely be considered emotionally intelligent due to his caring yet slightly obsessive nature - he really is able to comfort people.

One thing he's certainly skilled at is making decisions. Left or right? Red or blue? He doesn't spend another second thinking about it, snap, bang and he's made up his mind already! This includes friendships, as he's quite quick to judge the people around him as friend or foe. He often doesn't take things as seriously as he should, to the point where it's quite dangerous. If something is at least a small part amusing, he will more than likely joke about it in one way or another. Along with this, if you have food on your shirt, or your tie looks just a little bit off, he'll point it out - as Hamilton is an incredibly blunt person, getting straight to the point immediately. He's a very intrusive individual - he hates things being kept from him, and when he sees someone whispering to another, he'll immediately ask what they talked about.

Hamilton is very impulsive - he struggles to stop himself from doing things. If it comes to mind, he'll most likely do it. Paired with his lack of an attention span, this makes for a dangerous mix, leaving him extremely reckless. He clearly has no idea what he's doing, but he embraces it!
