"On the twenty-fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that their children were dying because of their choice to initiate violence, every district was made to hold an election and vote on the tributes who would represent it.
"On the fiftieth anniversary, as a reminder that two rebels died for each Capitol citizen, every district was required to send twice as many tributes.
"On the seventy-fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overcome the power of the Capitol, the male and female tributes were reaped from their existing pool of victors.
"On the one hundredth anniversary, in honor of the citizens of the Capitol lost in war who never reached adulthood, the age range of tributes was changed to ages thirty to fifty.
"On the one hundred and twenty fifth anniversary, as a reminder that the districts would be nothing without the help of the Capitol, the male and female tributes are to be reaped from the wealthiest ten percent of each district's population."
The blank form to submit a tribute is on my profile, but here's one with some reminders based on the context of this story:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
District:
Reaped or Volunteered?: Tributes from non-Career districts should not be volunteering without a very good reason. Tributes who volunteer for a younger family member or friend will not be considered.
Personality: Don't just give me a few words. The more detail you give me, the more I have to work with and refer to, so the more accurately your character will be portrayed. It doesn't matter how long this section is; I will read every word.
Background Info: No overly tragic backgrounds. Panem is rough, but there's still a line for realism. If you're unsure about something, just ask! Also remember that these tributes are generally going to be the ones with the easier childhoods since they're reaped from the wealthiest of each district's population. That's not to say that their upbringing would be especially soft, but there would be no reason to have anyone like Katniss- dead parents mean less money for the house, so these kids are less likely to be reaped this year.
Physical Appearance: Keep it realistic, and if the series offers information about the district's general appearance (Seam District 12, blondes in District 1, green eyes in District 4, etc.), try to stick to that.
Family/Friends: Don't just give me a list of people- give me brief descriptions of everyone, as well as the tribute's relationship with them. Make sure to mention parents' occupations so we know why they're at the top of the economic hierarchy.
District Token:
Strengths: Mention both physical and mental, and have a proportionate amount of strengths and weaknesses.
Weaknesses: See strengths.
Strategy For Games: If you don't give me one, I'll make one up based on the personality given.
Other:
