William Norton

William was the Male Tribute from District 5 at the 1st Annual Sims Hunger Games.

He was one of the main favourite tributes before the Games, reaching the second place at the Pre-Games Odds.

Biography
William always stood out with his grades at his city school, in District 5. Thanks to this, he got a grant to study engineering at one of the best schools on Capitol Hill. Still, everything was cut short when his name came out in the Reaping. His parents' cries were heartbreaking, knowing that a young talent like their son could lose his life at the Games.

But William was unwilling to give up everything so quickly. He knew how to react, and he got the love and admiration of the public and the sponsors during the interviews on Capitol Hill. With charisma and intelligent humor, he won over all of Panem.

The Training and Before Games
During the training week, William did not disappoint. During the week, he thoroughly studied survival techniques and perfected knife throwing, which he had never practiced before.

That sparked the envy of some tributes, such as the Male Tribute from District 1, with whom he had a small confrontation during the second day of training.

Given this, William received an offer from the Female Tribute from District 10 to form an alliance with District 7 and 8, who had also had problems with the Careers. William accepted, and was part of the Lowlight Alliance.

For the evaluation before the judges, William demonstrated everything he had learned during that week with the throwing of knives, obtaining a good grade of 9/12.

In addition, he got the support of the public and the official sponsors, obtaining the 2nd position in the odds, with a betts of 1.96. Really awesome for being so young, and from a non-Career district.

1st Annual Sims Hunger Games
William started the Games very well. In the Bloodbath, he got a kit from Throwing Knives, with which he managed to kill Male Tribut from District 1. Still, he failed when he attempted to attack Female Tribute from District 1 and had to quickly flee the Cornucopia, without supplies, and without be able to reunite with the tributes of their alliance that survived the Bloodbath (the two tributes of Distirct 7).

On the second day, he heard the screams of the Male Tribute from District 7, which died from the mutt's attack. When he arrived, he found Female Tribute from District 7 covered in blood, after killing mutt. He tried to reassure her and they stayed in the abandoned mine for the next two days, avoiding the Collapse event from the third day.

Still, at the end of the third day, they had to change locations in search of drinking water for William to drink before dying of dehydration. When they reached Nother Lagoon, William did not see the bear trap that the Male from District 6 had prepared, and he was wounded and trapped, being an easy prey for him.

Sponsoring and Support
Even though he was a favorite at the beginning of the Games, William did not get sponsored, even when he needed water to survive. This was due to the fact that his ally, Female from District 7, gained prominence and monopolized almost all the sponsorships.

Even so, he almost always maintained the first positions in the odds, thanks to the support of the audience and the official sponsors, obtaining a total of 17 points.
