Otto Rycker

Otto Rycker (14 May 12 AS  – 18 June 2  PS ) was the male tribute from District 3 in the 2nd Hunger Games. Originally from Dummel, he was 13-years-old and was studying to become an electronics engineer prior to being reaped for the games.

In the games, Rycker was the second tribute to die. Unable to swim, Rycker jumped into the water surrounding the cornucopia immediately after the games began and drowned.

Early life
Rycker was born in Dummel, District 3 to parents George and Heather Rycker, and was raised in the Obsidian neighborhood. Both of his parents work as electronics engineers. Heitner has an elder sister: Hanna.

Reaping
At the reapings for the 2nd Hunger Games, Rycker ended up being reaped for the games. As District 3 is not a district where children are eager to be reaped, there were no volunteers to take his place. The escort for District 3 was Benni David, while the female tribute was Olexandra Heitner.

Opening ceremony
In the opening ceremony, Rycker was styled by the District 3 head stylist Schrube Dockson. As District 3's industry is electronics, Dockson designed a costume for his tributes inspired by electricity. They placed 7th out of 12.

Training
In training, Rycker demonstrated very little athletic ability, but possessed above-average intelligence. This earned him a training score of 2.

Games
In the games, Rycker was the second tribute to die. Unable to swim, Rycker jumped into the water surrounding the cornucopia immediately after the games began and drowned. He placed 23rd out of 24.
