"The Mentors don't care about their Tributes anymore," President Claudius said with a sigh. He watched as the clips flicked by. Each mentor looked unmoved by their Tribute's death. Most were drunk or high. A large portion of them no longer extended a helping hand to their assigned child.
"It is hard to form a connection with people when you know you'll most likely never see them again," Head Gamemaker Howard mused, swirling around the wine in his glass.
"What If we let them choose their charge?" Claudius said, glancing at the oranged haired man. Howard gave a small nod.
"It would feel more personal. Less of a duty and more of a choice. Instead of the child's death being put down to bad luck, the blame would be placed on them."
"Exactly. Pick the Mentors most likely to feel guilt for neglecting a child they chose." Claudius smiled as he leaned back in his chair. "I want them to feel that guilt when their chosen Tribute dies. I want them to share their pain."
The children lost within the dark days were indirectly killed by the guidance of those who swore to protect them. To remind the Districts of this fact, this year the mentors will each choose their own Tribute to mentor regardless of gender or District. Their pain will be shared. The horror of the games, re-lived.
This story is a bit different from your usual SYOT. We will create the twenty-four tributes while YOU submit and create the mentors.
The story will also be told from the POV of the mentors watching their Tributes within the games.
Thing To Know About Your Submitted Mentors:
-Must be above 13 years old
-Must have the ability to feel guilt for their actions.
Once all of the mentors are submitted you, the submitter, can pick which Tribute you would like your character to mentor. Unfortunately this will be first come first served but we'll give you plenty of notice to prepare.
