My name is Karkat Vantas and I live in a country called Panem, here is a backstory of how our species came to this filthy ass hole of a planet. It all began when the condence came here and took over the strongest (military wise) country on the planet, the United States, as a show of power, after that she sent for most of the children on Alternia here to colonize this piece of shit planet, I was one of those children.

The way she set up the system after she took over the country, there were nine districts and a capitol, the capitol was made for the condence, the subjugulators, and the violet bloods. District one was made for the indigo bloods, the second district was for the cerulean bloods, third was for the teal bloods they took care of most of the judicial problems amongst the country, fourth was meant for the jade bloods they helped the production of more trolls, the fifth was for the olive bloods. Sixth was for the Yellow or as they all themselves the "Golden Bloods" guess they are pretty self-centered, anyway they supply power to the whole nation using their power they call it "Psi" not sure why but they do, either way let's move on, seventh district was made for the bronze bloods they take care of livestock considering they can fucking commune with most animals. The final district or really, final troll district is the eighth it is my district it was made for the burgundy bloods we really don't have jobs, we really are just slaves that just survive and rarely get help from the capitol which really just helps the upper districts but the final district was meant for the humans, well the ones who survived her royal nut jobs attacks, very few live in that district. Well anyway we all revolted against the hemospectrum system and well it obviously didn't end very well for us. Due to the revolution her glorious dumbass formed a system called the alternian games, where they would take trolls and humans to fight to the death I guess this is the first one so I don't really know what the fuck is going on.

Either way someone from my district is being picked and I don't know who it is, hell even the condence doesn't even know the tributes are randomly picked. Well I guess I will see who it is soon.

At the reaping they took my blood and stood me in a crowd of my fellow burgundy bloods. In my age group I saw many sad faces, worried faces, I even saw excited faces for those really creepy ass sociopathic trolls, I myself was none of these I was one of the few emotionless faces amongst the crowd. I then saw the Subjugulator for our district come out and speak "Hello useless burgundy bloods for your terrible ass rebellion you are now being forced to fight to the death with your fellow Alternians, first I will choose the female tribute for your district", wow that was a long ass speech. "Neveah Cerecet is the first useless scum to be picked, now for the male", the subjugulator said very sternly. He clears his throat and grunts "Karkat Vantas". What that's impossible my name is only in there once, th- that's impossible. I swear my face probably turned paler than it already was and that should be impossible.

I began walking up to the large stone stage and almost passed out on the stage but I knew I needed to act strong, "Your tributes from district eight", the announcer said into the cameras and crowd.
