Bastion Claprow

Bastion Claprow was the Male Tribute from District 1 at the 1st Annual Sims Hunger Games.

It was a controversial case because, contrary to the recommendations of the District 1 Training Academy, Bastion volunteered as a tribute taking away the place from the boy that the Academy had recommended.

Biography
Bastion Claprow was just 16 years old when he volunteered as District 1 first tribute to the Hunger Games.

Bastion belongs to one of the most powerful families in District 1. His uncle, Redeach Bastion, runs one of the richest ruby mines in all Panem. When the announce of The 1st Annual Sims Hunger Games was, he applied to enter the training academy. The recommendations of the academy are only for the 17 and 18-year-old tributes, since they are more physically and psychologically prepared.

Bastion attended the Second course and, although he did not excel, he obtained a good score. Still, the academy advised him to wait a couple of years to appear at the Games, but he ignored his advice. When the Reaping arrived, Bastion volunteered as a tribute before the boy the academy had recommended.

The Training and Before Games
Bastion conquered all of the Panem’s people heart with his smile and charismatic gaze.

Along with the tributes from district 1 and 2, as well as the male tributes from 4 and 9, he was part of the Careers alliance, which was positioned as the most powerful before the games began. During the training week, Bastion quarrelled with a couple of tributes (Male District 5 and Male District 7) by taunting them during the exercises. This led to the formation of an alliance to end The Careers, called Lowlight Alliances.

For the evaluation before the judges, Bastion decided to show his skill with the bow, as this was the best weapon, he mastered in the training academy in District 1. He achieved a score of 9/12, which considering that he had not finished his training is not bad.

Still, it turned out to be one of The Careers' tributes that started with a worse position in betting, ranking 13th place (13/24) with a bet of 2.28 in Pre-Game Odds.

1st Annual Sims Hunger Games
His participation in the games was really short. Bastion delved into Bloodbath and tried to fight the District 6 Female Tribute for a backpack with supplies. Still, the District 5 Male Tribute threw him a throwing knife in the back, making him one of the first tributes to die.

Sponsoring and Support
Bastion died during the Bloodbath, so he was not sponsored.

As his partner of District 1, Bastion garnered considerably less support than expected as being one of the closest Capitol Districts. Probably due to his self-centered attitude and much more charismatic competition. In total, he only obtained 3 points from the public.
