Giant, A/N chapters suck, but this is a new type of thing for me. An interactive story. An interactive Hunger Games story.
And you, dear readers, will play the part of the Sponsors. You will have a say in who lives and who dies, and what kind of tools the charcaters will be given to survive.
Another thing: This story shies away from Canon, because it's the could-have-been 99th Hunger Games.
Oh, and one last thing...
You also get to choose whose POVs I'll use.
Go ahead and vote. I'll be using six tribute POV characters, and only six. Below is the list to choose from.
DISTRICT ONE
RUBY, age 18. A self-proclaimed plain girl who grew up in a family where beauty was everything. Determined to prove her worth.
PYRITE, age 16. He never wanted to be a Tribute, but always claimed he did to avoid losing friends. When he was drawn, no one volunteered for him. Everyone thought that was what he wanted.
DISTRICT TWO
ENETI, age 17. A seemingly cold, callous girl who dislikes human company. She didn't volunteer for the glory, though. She felt compassion for the tiny girl whose name was drawn.
GUSTUS, age 18. His parents were both great victors, so he was more or less pressured into volunteering. Everyone expects him to win by a landslide, but he just feels stressed.
DISTRICT THREE
SAMANTHA, age 12. She isn't exactly scared of killing, but she doesn't relish it either. Samantha is a cheerful, eager, curious girl.
SEAR, age 18. His younger stepbrother's best friend was selected as a tribute. His own family doesn't seem to care that he volunteered, and neither does he.
DISTRICT FOUR
CORAL, age 17. Back home, she's thought of as the shy, tall girl who likes fishing. That's true, but no one really knows of her wide imagination and creativity.
AARON, age 16. Strong and friendly, but not considered particularly smart.
DISTRICT FIVE
TAWNY, age 14. Bold and cunning. Not in a sneaky way though... A little too cocky for her own good.
JAMES, age 15. Shy, but kind of intelligent, with a love for birds.
DISTRICT SIX
BELLA, age 13. Naive and sweet. Afraid of the games.
LAN, age 17. Stoic and practical. Tries not to show that he's afraid, but in truth...
DISTRICT SEVEN
CASSIA, age 14. Can't stand the games, or violence, or even weapons. Not terrified of them unless they're in her hands, but she has a hatred for those types of things overall.
ROLAN, age 13. Compassionate. Afraid of wild animals, but not blood or violence, as his uncle was the town doctor.
DISTRICT EIGHT
LYNN, age 15. Clumsy, but clever. Also incredibly loud and friendly.
SETH, age 16. A little too selfless. Volunteered for a random kid because he's confident that he can help people in the games. That's his only agenda.
DISTRICT NINE
AMBER, age 17. A sadistic girl who volunteered for the sake of bloodshed. Was a bit surprised when the other tribute from her distric volunteered, as she considers herself to be the strong, bold one.
PLATO, age 15. A wiry, short-for-his-age boy who volunteered because he wanted to prove himself.
DISTRICT TEN
BUNNY, age 16. Her brother was killed in the games. She acts emotionless, and can be incredibly bitter, stubborn, and angry.
TANNER, age 12. Usually, he's the energetic, curious one. Throw him into the games and he's too terrified to speak.
DISTRICT ELEVEN
PEMMA, age 15. Kind and incredibly compassionate, but also incredibly witty and sarcastic.
FERRIS, age 13. Cheerful, but doesn't expect to make it out of the games alive. Still, he's determined to put on a brave face and go out with a bang.
DISTRICT TWELVE
NOLA, age 18. She's smart, but not particularly brave. Scared of going to her death.
WHIT, age 14. Everyone expects him to die, considering the combination of a frail body and a reckless nature.
