The freezing cold air hits the tributes skin and turns their organs to ice.
The ice cold wind would bother them if they weren't staring into the face of death, and this face is made up of all the friends they would have to murder or watch die to survive.
The countdown starts, some people don't know how long they have, if the odds are in their favor.
Tim
Tim back home was a writer, he used to write books and sell them to others, or donate them to the local library.
Everyone loved his stories since there wasn't much entertainment in the area.
Tim was very calm after he was chosen, it was like he expected it.
Tim charmed his way through just about everything up until the games, some people believed he was too sweet to win the games, but that didn't change his spectacular betting odds.
Tim had a quick wit, and a way of speaking that gave people the illusion that he knew what he was doing.
Tim has finally made it to the games and he feels as if his stomach has somehow digested itself.
Tim looks over to a medical kit, maybe that's all he needs for the moment.
Jimi
Jimi was a musician, and the most popular back home.
He did shows very often, and was as devastated as everyone else was when he was chosen to fight in the games.
Jimi didn't say much during the interviews, or training, but he showed that he was a skilled tribute.
Jimi has great odds, but not many sponsors, he wonders himself if he will survive.
Derrick
Derrick was a very intelligent and quiet person.
He spent a lot of time reading, and never once thought he would be picked out of the jar.
Derrick didn't speak much, but was a blast when he did.
Although his intelligence is a big advantage, he is also incredibly strong.
Derrick has unbelievable odds due to this.
Chet
Chet is a fitness freak, he is ridiculously strong.
Chet did a lot of training for the games, so he is prepared.
The only thing with Chet is that he has no intention to kill anyone, he wants to wait it out until the final two, then kill if he has to.
Chet strangely has very poor odds.
Jon
Jon is quiet and quite clever, but is easily manipulated.
When he was picked, he went up there and accepted his fate.
Only problem is that if anyone is the least prepared for the games, it's him.
No training, no planning, nothing.
This is why he has very low odds.
Rob
Rob is a very funny person, the towns clown he is.
Rob could make a statue laugh with his random and clever humor.
Rob couldn't believe he was reaped, he never saw it coming.
Rob does have some very great skills, but nothing takes away the terror eating up inside of him.
Due to his very beloved sense of humor, he has high odds, but this does not ease his fear.
Taylor
Taylor is a sweetheart, but has prepared for the games since she was the right age.
Despite the fact she prepared, she was still horrified when she was chosen.
Taylor showed some amazing skills and is a very popular tribute, she has played the games a million times over in her head, and has tried to find a solution to every problem she may face in the games.
Right now, she knows food is important, so she focuses her attention to the fishing gear in the cornucopia.
Drake
Drake was popular at home, he is a very likable person.
Only problem is if anyone is not as prepared as Jon, it's him.
Drake relies on his intelligence and likableness to win the games, which is possible but unlikely.
Odds are average for him, as he is likable, but not a killer.
Claire
The snob.
Claire is very independent and always gets her own way.
Now that she has been put in the games her whole world is upside down.
With no skills whatsoever, it's no surprise why she has very, very low odds and almost no sponsors.
She knows that she needs supplies to win, but won't survive the bloodbath, so she eyes a backpack.
Vince
Vince is very smart, and has an impeccable way with words.
While he is not strong at all, he makes up for it in skill.
Everyone loved Vince during the trials, his very clever humor combined with his wit was just enough to get him above average odds.
While he does not want to walk right into the bloodbath, he knows he needs something, so he decides to run for a backpack.
Florence
Florence is a very intelligent and funny person, and is prepared for the games.
Florence kept her skills a secret to the other tributes, and constantly made plans for the games.
Florence was a blast with the audience, and has great odds.
She clears her mind of fear, and decides to run to the cornucopia.
Selena
The troublemaker, the only thing surprising about her being in the games is the fact that it took so long.
Selena stole, pranked, and fought her way through life.
Selena is a very violent and skilled tribute, but is also very good at making friends.
Her odds are the highest of the tributes, but she has a problem with getting so lost in her own ego, she can't find a way out.
Alan
Alan is the smartass.
Alan can talk his way out of almost every situation, and was not very surprised he was entered into the games.
With no skills outside of his words and intelligence, he is not the most gifted tribute.
This doesn't change his average odds.
Alan was never scared up until this moment, where he is seconds away to possibly dying.
Anna
While she always knew she would be chosen, she still could not believe she was in the games.
She avoided showing off her skills, which she did have, and it did not help her odds.
Many people believe she would be the first to go, and she thinks this too, but won't give up.
Zach
A weapons expert, can build, fix, and use them.
Is anything but stupid, but his mind is not the thing that scares the other tributes.
It is of course how dangerous he is with every weapon in the arena.
Even know his odds almost match Selena's, he still has second thoughts about winning.
Corey
Very quiet, but with some very helpful skills.
Odds have been average, as he is strong, but not as appealing as the others.
Sam
Training a long time for this, she is ready.
She never showed off her skills, as she was too busy putting off people she hated, and talking to the people she liked.
Sam was very likable among the viewers, and has fairly good odds, she just has a very terrible feeling about her odds in the games.
Amy
While popular, she is not amazing at anything else needed to win, which is why she needs to be a team.
Her odds are average, as she is very likable, and seems like she knows what she is doing.
While she is shit scared, she tends to block all her fear.
Walter
The oldest of the tributes.
Walter has been preparing for this since he was born.
Walters brother won the games 14 years before, and Walter is determined to win as well.
Walter is extremely skilled, and has odds incredibly high.
Walter does not want to be in a team, but knows it may be his best chance at times.
Daron
Like Walter, Daron was born to fight in the games.
The only problem is: Daron isn't smart like Walter is, and is nowhere near as likable.
Daron has very high odds, as he is a natural born killer, but his arrogance could easily get him killed.
Rye
Rye is yet another one trained for this.
Rye's intelligence is her biggest trait, as she can get out of many situations.
Rye went well with the trials, and showed her skills, which has made her a target, and also someone people want in their alliance.
Rye does not care about her great odds, and focuses on winning.
Jen
Jen is possibly the smartest of the bunch.
Jen never wanted to be put in the games, but did anyway.
Jen has made friends for an alliance, but never showed off her skills.
She doesn't want to kill, but doesn't want to die.
Her odds are average as she was liked among the audience.
April
April has been training since she was born.
A very skilled tribute, and a funny person, it's no wonder why her odds are so high.
April believes she will win the games.
Ash
Ash is very sweet and is definitely out of her zone in the games.
Ash may not be strong, or smart, but she will kill if she has to.
Her odds are very low.
They all either plan or worry, but all pay attention to the countdown.
