And here are the tributes that will be taking part of the Games! The District 1 reapings are just below this list ^^
District 1:
Female: Phoenix 'Foe' Sterling (Sweet 'lil Mockingjay)- A very sarcastic and defensive girl about pretty much everything unless she actually likes the person, then she'll still tease the crap outta them about everything. She can't stand the stereotypical popular D1 girl with blonde hair and perfect everything. She has a bit of a temper and is always getting into trouble so she has a bit of a problem with authority figures and does not do well with any type of rules. While she does have a temper she can usually control it and use it to her advantage and she loves mocking people to make them p*ssed off, and she's very confident.
Male: Dapar Radsha (DonPianta)- He has always been a talkative person. This generally makes him be seen as attractive to many females, but some people find him to be annoying and arrogant. He can make light of any situation, and uses his jokey, optimistic nature to make friends. He is not easily frustrated or stressed, but his thoughts tend to be superficial. Thus, he is not very intelligent.
District 2:
Female: Kenzi Rogers (KitKat2014) - She is an energetic and impulsive young woman. She always tries to look to the light no matter how bad the situation might get. She has a short-fused and unpredictable nature causing her to run around her district without a care for the rules. She makes no plans and goes directly off of what she knows, she shows off her quick-witted attitude towards her opponents in the game. Along with her impulsiveness and short temper, she has a restless soul which causes her to move about not caring if she gets caught by her fellow tributes. Lastly she is a courageous girl willing to go to the end to help her friends and family even if it means her own end.
Male: Morgan Scott (AndItsGonnaBeTotallyAwesome ) - He's very suave, kind of an atypical career, doesn't worship the capitol, but is fairly indifferent. He can be rather lazy when he's particularly bored, but tends to be alert at all times. He's very hyper-aware, even when he's sleeping. He's a bit belligerent, will pick a fight if he really doesn't care for you but prefers to keep to himself unless otherwise prodded. He'll make an alliance, but only if he really feels like he can trust the person.
District 3:
Female: Kallina 'Kalli' Censura (i-am-foxface ) – She used to be a kind, funny, optimistic girl who could always make people smile. She was liked by most people and always tried to look on the bright side of things. Her mother had been training her and her sister for the games and she wanted to volunteer to bring glory to her family. Then her sister died in the hunger games and everything changed. Now, mentally scared from her sister's death she is a violent, untrusting girl who hates careers, gets in to fights easily, and hides her true emotions
Male: Benji Jenkins (The-Teeny-And-Amazing-Abby) - He's the kind of guy who thinks he's totally friggin epic. He's always complimenting himself and trying to get others to do so. Dresses up kind of emo. Oh, and everyone hates him.
District 4:
Female: Vencitiy Corbinette (ChibiPanda315) – She is a spiteful, arrogant, flirty, ungrateful, naive teenager, who craves for bigger and better things than her nice home in District 4. She is egotistic and believes she is the best thing since the Games themselves. At the beginning, even though she thinks she is a grown woman who is ready to face the Games and all the challenges they present, she is no more than an arrogant little girl. She has a huge sense of self worth and prides herself upon her appearance and her training. As far as she's concerned, the only thing she wants is to show both these things off to Panem at the Hunger Games, quickly flit her way through the games, win her fame and fortune and be home within the week to live the rest of her days in luxury, like the other winners have done.
Male: Theo Macdonald (KingWolf111 ) - He has a very arrogant and cocky attitude, thinks he is gods gift to women, acts like a major douchbag and thinks very badly of the poorer districts, he thinks that only he has the skill to make it to the top. Will accept almost no help at all.
District 5:
Female: Alexia "Alex" Tide (Munamana) – She is very cheery and joyful. An internal optimist, which people find quite strange since she has been training as a career. She can be quite clam and reasonable and will often find herself trying to reign in her friend Pike. Though she is nice, she is also quite cunning and determined and is willing to kill to make sure either herself or Pike return from the games, she means no ill will towards her fellow tributes but she will show no mercy.
Male: Pike Rivers (Munamana) - Pike is gruff, crude and brutally honest. Pike hates beating around the bush and will go straight to the point. His lack of parents has left his social skills less then desirable. Though he's not one to be provoked easily, he won't hesitate to use immediate violence if you go too far, namely threatening Alex. Though not stupid, he is very simple and is not book smart and he hates people who use big words to sound smart. Though crude, he's not a mean or cruel person and will show his softer side when no one's looking, especially to help children.
District 6:
Female: Nelira "Nel" Blue (MadolynMcGinty) – She is one of the bossiest people you'll ever meet. She tends to swear a lot, is quite rebellious and destructive, and is very spitfire with a short temper. She's a good friend, though, and very loyal. She is extremely driven and pretty kick-**. Usually serious, but can be a bit humorous (usually sarcastic) when she wants to be. She's very protective and focused, but not always the nicest.
Male: Collin Matthew Wrathers (MadolynMcGinty) - Basically the opposite of Nel in every way possible. He is a lot like a kid. He never knows when to keep his mouth shut and is always cracking jokes; never gets when a situation is meant to be serious. He doesn't put much effort into anything and is relaxed yet optimistic all the time. He always needs some extra authority; because he is quite hopeless on his own. He loves sports, but fails miserably at them. Very klutzy. He's a comedy relief, basically, and always aggravates Nel- sometimes to the point of a slap. But he likes it. Definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. But he's very friendly and kind to everyone; doesn't get the point of being mean. He has a good heart.
District 7:
Female: Ayla Treleve (TheKatieKat) - She's the one that sits quietly in the corner, reading, while everyone else jokes around. Most people when they describe her don't really have a grasp on which she is, like she's hardly there. She doesn't have people that hate her, nor people who really like her, she's just in the middle. She's quiet, not as much shy as preferring to be alone. She actually prefers to be alone because she'd rather do it alone- not that she's a cynic or anything, she's just independent. She laughs, and will randomly in random places because her sense of humor is kind of off. She's sweet, to many adults and others. Her teachers would adore her because of how kind and studious she would be. She's kinda like a Loony Lovegood. She likes to dream, and is always thinking and dreaming, everywhere. Just has that look in her eyes.
Male: Hadrian Xander (Sweet 'lil Mockingjay) - He's a normal teenager. He's easy going and kinda cheeky, not shy in the least and has no problem making friends; he knows a lot of people and walking down the street he'd usually stop to say hi to more than one person. He's calm so it's hard to p*ss him off but when he is he can hold a grudge for a looong time so don't betray his trust ;) He's very smart and loves to learn new things, he also has a close connection with nature and he finds the woods relaxing. If someone was looking for him they'd go to the woods first because it's where he spends most of his time.
District 8:
Female: Rylinn Abrith (QueenOfSwordsAndFire ) - She has a defensive shell, and she acts like a b*tch to keep people away. She has a very fiery temper, and she isn't afraid to express her opinions. She hates having to do what people tell her, and is often mouthy and sarcastic with people who try to boss her around. In fact, she's mouthy and sarcastic to anyone. She's a bit of a daredevil and a bit self destructive. She is very loyal to the few people who've earned her care, but she doesn't trust easily.
Male: Shohn Vekriss (DonPianta) - Living in such a tiresome district, he has only a finger's grip on his mental condition. He is generally silent and unhappy, yet his face only portrays apathy. His friends and family are like a release for him; without them, he would have probably given up on life.
District 9:
Female: Astoria Delacorte (the epic bookworm ) – She is easy-going, calm, and friendly. She's very kind, although is very used to comfort since she's the mayor's daughter. She's sweet and friendly and she's the type of person who everyone at least feels friendly with. She doesn't have a short temper and doesn't get angry easily. But there's a different side to Astoria. She has an alternate personality called Nika. Nika is sly, ferocious, volatile, and deadly, and comes out on the few instances when Astoria gets angry. Astoria is unaware that Nika is in her and she can't remember anything that Nika does. Nika is manipulative and cruel, and unlike Astoria, has no problem with blood. Nika would stab her ally in the back in a moment if she thought it would help her. Astoria doesn't know about Nika but has always felt like there's something wrong with her.
Male: Nathan Ripley (KingWolf111 ) – He can come off as having a very determined and hard personality, he is the type of person that will take no crap from anyone, and he has worked hard his entire life to put food on the table for his sick mother and his little sister Mandy. He may come off as scary and cold but in truth once you get to know him he becomes more open and will freely talk to you(if you are a friend) he has a sense of honor and hates people who pick on those younger than them, he will fight for the rights of the younger ones, yet his main drawback is that he has a temper, this can cloud his usually sharp mind and cause him to make mistakes.
District 10:
Female: Cassie Hughes (Fleur-WickedWitchOfBeauxbatons) - A very blunt person, she's not afraid to tell it like it is. She's knows nothing's perfect; and knows that you have to work for what you're given. She never slacks off, and fights for what she believes in. She has a fiery temper, and is known for her bravery. But she has moments when she feels insecure, and easily gets stressed. But she has a heart of gold that she shows to those who she sees as "good".
Male: Buck Wolfe (Munamana) - Buck is charming, carefree and easygoing, he rarely takes things seriously and doesn't like getting riled up over small things. He's very laid back and will avoid petty squabbles and arguments, while he doesn't look for conflict, he's not a pushover and if you go too far he will retaliate with quick, pragmatic and efficient violence, he's a country boy and he knows how to scrap, he just prefers not to. He is also very kind and compassionate, he'll help people in need if he can and will always try to do the right thing, even if it's not the smart thing. His willing to help others comes from having younger siblings and his hope that if they were in trouble and he wasn't around, that someone else would help them. Buck is very loyal to his friends and family and everyone one of them has earned that trust, he is somewhat wary to strangers but never hostile. He is not a natural leader and he would much rather follow someone else's lead; he doesn't like pressure or responsibility. He is very snarky and witty at times and is somewhat of a flirt to the opposite sex but he knows when to back off, he doesn't go where he's not wanted. Lastly he's not one for strategy or planning, he likes to follow his gut and doest really think about the consequences sometimes but he always means well.
District 11:
Female: Hadley June Chevalier (young-lovers-eyes) – She is honest. It is in her nature to tell people how it is. If they're being rude, or annoying, or stupid, she'll tell them, but she will also tell them if they're doing something well, or if they look nice, etc. She's not the type to rush into things. She likes to consider the consequences of her actions carefully before she carries them out. She's not especially sweet or particularly mean or tough, but she's kind of in the middle there between them. She's sarcastic and intelligent, particularly in the way of common sense. She sees things like a grid or a map. Everything is perfectly organized and she knows just how to efficiently complete tasks. This makes her very level headed. However, sometimes her heart gets the better of her, and even if she knows that falling for some guy or indulging in something could get in her way, she'll do it. She's a closet romantic. She doesn't deal with change in her routine very well. She likes to have a list of tasks, and she'll carry them out in accordance to their importance. She believes in being honest, loyal, never doing things half-heartedly.
Male: Bryson Rhode Weatthers (Dream-the-Dream) - Bryson is ripe with boyish attitude. He doesn't take things very seriously and tends to bug people. He likes to do to things to people to get a reaction and tends to go with whatever is best for him. He's a bit selfish and can be annoying at times, but he can have his sweet sincere moments as well.
District 12:
Female: Bluebell Hart (Fleur-WickedWitchOfBeauxbatons) - She's a mentally unstable girl; but she makes people she her as innocent. Though, sometimes, she comes across as crazy and there are many rumors about her in the District. She's very unhinged, and is a pyromaniac[She History]. She seems weak; which she is physically; but, though she is slightly mental, she knows how to play people. She's great at persuading people, manipulating people, and, oh yes, seducing people.
Male: Alexander Devin Blake (Cato Mellark) - Usually a very silent person, often deep in thought. He's extremely smart and thinks things through before doing them. He was taught by his father, who died in a mine explosion when he was fifteen, to always be careful of what he does, because every action has a consequence, and to think of every possible outcome before doing something. He doesn't judge a book by his cover, because he knows that danger can come from the tiniest of things. He is fiercely brave and will protect his family and friends with his life. He is loyal to people he loves until the very end, and will not stop fighting until his heart stops. He isn't afraid to kill, because he knows that it's basically the only way to survive in the Games. He isn't afraid to stand up to injustice, but will think before acting. He doesn't really care about his looks, because he's concerned with more important things, particularly his family and how they're to survive.
It is now time to start the reapings! Thanks to all of you who have submitted tributes! I am keeping track of sponsor points and will pm the amount of points you have before the Games start. Now make sure ya'll review ^^
District 1:
Phoenix 'Foe' Sterling's point of view.
"Come on Foe is that the best you can do?" Ace taunts me as I try to focus on nothing, but the knife in my hand. The rush of the blade as it leaves my fingers is familiar. I take another deep breath as I hurl my precious blade into the dead center of a target.
"I've still seen better Phoenix," At the mention of my first name I turn around my gaze hard as I chuck a knife in Ace's direction. He drops to the floor as the knife slices through the air where he once stood.
"How many times have I told you not to call me that?" I retort my eyes still fixed into a glare on him.
Ace has been my friend for as long as I can remember. We are constantly getting into trouble together, but even he has a habit of getting on my nerves. Nobody calls me by my first name. Nobody.
All he does is laugh as my temper flares, "Oh, calm down Foe no need to get all worked up."
I flick a piece of hair out of my eyes regaining my composure and walk over to the target wrenching my knives out of the wood, "One of these days I'm going to make sure when I throw my knife at you it actually hits it's mark." My voice may sound threatening, but Ace knows I would never actually inflict pain upon him. We stride out of the training center and I have to shield my eyes from the sun that glints into my face. We walk towards the town square ready to face the reapings.
I have been mulling over the idea of volunteering, but I have Ace convinced that I have disregarded that idea, but I know that thought still lingers in my thoughts. Nobody believes I would stand a chance. My blood begins to broil at the memory of some girl from school mocking me telling me I would surely die in the bloodbath. She taunted that only a true beauty like herself would be able to win the crown without even breaking a nail. I quickly swiped that stupid smirk off her face when my fist connected with her nose. She didn't look, so pretty with blood smeared all over her face.
I stand in the seventeen year old section and run over the memory of the last time I went home.
"Foe, can you not play with your knife at the table please," My mother's voice is laced with annoyance at my unlady like behaviour. Why did I even bother coming here when I knew all my family would do is irritate me to no end.
I roll my eyes ignoring her request and I continue to roll my blade through my fingers. Then my "favourite" person to ever grace the world walks in. My "perfect" older sister Pixie. I hate her name along with just about everything else about her. In the eyes of all of District 1 she can do no wrong. She is beauty at its best my mother would always say. Nobody can believe that two completely different girls could be related. I swear I was adopted.
"Mother, I'm going out to get an outfit for the reaping." Pixie says in that obnoxious sing song voice of hers.
"Why don't you take Foe with you? Only lord knows she needs help picking out a decent outfit for the reapings," My mother suggests.
"I don't think so; I would rather be burned alive than go shopping with her," I say bitterly.
"Oh, come on Foe it could be fun," Pixie chirps with that stupid smile of hers plastered on her face.
"Oh, I'm sure it would be so much fun! We could get matching outfits then go and get our hair and nails done together," I mock her voice ignoring the glare I received from my mother and pushed away from the table leaving without another word.
I watch now as the escort of our District places her slim hand into the glass bowl containing the names of each female in our District. I then know what I am going to do; the one thing my perfect sister never did, "I VOLUNTEER!" My voice rings out before a name can even be drawn.
What drove me to shout out those two simple words that could very well end in my death? I just wanted to prove a point, but maybe this time I have taken things too far.
I now sit impatiently in the Justice building dreading these goodbyes. I know Ace is not going to be too pleased after what I just did. He knows I can fight, but the real question is can I survive?
The door bursts open and Ace walks in wearing an expression that clearly shows that he is not impressed, "Do you want to explain to me what the hell you were thinking? Oh, wait don't answer that; you weren't thinking at all!"
I frown slightly as he yells at me, "Way to support my decisions Ace."
"You want me to support your decision to get yourself killed?" He says this as he sits down next me starting to calm down slightly.
"I won't get myself killed; I'll win it's as simple as that."
"Foe, I know what you're capable of just don't underestimate anyone. That includes the tributes from District 12. Just try your best," He playfully punches me in the shoulder, but I can see the pain outlining his eyes. "You can't die on me you're my partner in crime remember?"
"How could I forget?" I suddenly hug him and we remain like this until he is dragged from the room. Now with nothing, but my thoughts for company does the realization of what I have just done start to sink in. I am now a piece of their games, but do I really want to play by their rules?
Dapar Radsha's point of view.
I gaze up at the ceiling as the sun flits around my room the sweet morning breeze snaking through my bedroom window intertwining its way through my hair. I sit up and run my hand through my blonde hair. Today is my second last reaping. Generally most would be worried for the events that are taking place in a little over an hour, but I on the other hand have always gone through life free of the holds of stress and worry.
I get myself ready when the dull tone that is my mother's voice climbs the stair, "Dapar your friends are at the door waiting for you." Her voice matches my father's distant and uninterested. We live only in toleration, but I would much rather be with my friends, or on my own.
I take one last look in the mirror that stands in the corner of my room and fix my hair one last time; there perfect. I practically skip down the stairs and open the front door and not to my surprise Argent and Hydra both stand there dressed for the reapings.
"Well don't you just looking dashing Dapar," Hydra teases me.
I readjust the collar of my shirt and grin at the brother and sister pair, "Well don't I always look dashing," I say jokingly as the three of us make our way towards the town square.
Argent playfully shoves me to the side, "You always this modest this early in the morning?" He says with a laugh. The three of us could go on like this for hours. The laughs never seem to cease with us even on a day like today. The odds have been in my favor all these years why should that stop now?
The laughs keeping rolling off our tongues before Hydra becomes very serious as we just about reach the town square, "What if one of our names are chosen as tribute?" She asks us both.
"Hydra, we live in District 1 even if one of our names is drawn I'm sure some other kid will just volunteer in our place," I say this trying to stay optimistic about the upcoming event.
Hydra nods as she parts ways heading over to the eighteen year old female section. Argent and I make our way to the seventeen year old section. We stand side by side snickering at the grotesque color of our escort's skin.
"You know with those feathers sticking out of her head she kind of looks like an ostrich; and with that dark orange color of her skin it makes her look like a burnt ostrich," I say a little too loudly attracting a few looks from others around me creating a small ripple of laughter even in this tension.
Our laughs are stopped short when our escort reaches into the glass bowl containing the names of the females. She doesn't even get the chance to draw a name before someone calls out, "I VOLUNTEER!"
A girl of average height strides towards the stage an aura of confidence surrounding her. She is attractive in an almost intimidating way. I have seen her before in the training center, but I have never learnt her name. She stands up straight and speaks clearly, "Foe Sterling." Our escort congratulates her for her bravery and makes her way towards the bowl containing the names of the males.
My heart beat remains steady and calm as I still feel no worry for being chosen. Even if I was someone would surely volunteer. I watch with steady eyes as her hands open that small piece of paper, "The male tribute for District 1 is Dapar Radsha!"
I still remain calm even as I make my way towards the stage; I wait for someone to volunteer, but nobody does. This doesn't bother me as a nonchalant smile spreads across my face. As a career I have been training for this. I was hoping to volunteer during my last year I am eligible for the reapings, but the sooner I am crowned Victor the better.
I stand next to Foe still appearing carefree about the situation I am being thrown into. Some may think it is an act, but I know better. I rarely feel frustration, or worry and that is not about to change. I wave out at the crowd keeping true to the typical arrogant District 1 stereotype. I turn to Foe and shake her hand.
"Allies?" I ask her and she nods.
Among the cheers of our home District we are lead to the Justice Building for our final goodbyes, but I know I'll be back home soon enough.
So what did you guys think? I hope I portrayed your characters alright. ^^
