I change things up whenever I can to ward off dullness in formulaic pre-Games chapters. Since the Careers have already trained and been observed, conventional Private Sessions would be redundant. Instead the Gamemakers evaluated a number of factors that go into making a Victor.

ANALYSIS: Jynx has a strange bond with his rival Victory Amarinthine. He is also more solitary than most Careers.
COMMENTS: Can there be a Games with just 24 of you? Shirtless?

WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIKEABILITY: 6
CONFIDENCE: 10 (-3)
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 7
RUTHLESSNESS: 10
RESOURCEFULNESS: 5
TOTAL: 40
ANALYSIS: Rapture is likely to stay with his sister Diamond until the end. If they are the final two, Gamemaker intervention will likely be necessary to determine a winner.
COMMENTS: You never won yet. I don't think you ever will.

WEAPONS SKILLS: 6
LIKEABILITY: 9
CONFIDENCE: 4
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 7
RUTHLESSNESS: 2
RESOURCEFULNESS: 9
TOTAL: 39
ANALYSIS: Glaudius' skill with a sword is masterful. Points were deducted due to his comparative lack of training with other Careers. Glaudius exhibits signs of depression exacerbated by his resurrection and the loss of family members since his death.
COMMENTS: You were a big fish in a small pond. It got a lot bigger since you died.
DISTRICT ONE FEMALES
CHARMAINE VALE

WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIKEABILITY: 10
CONFIDENCE: 2
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 7
RUTHLESSNESS: 2
RESOURCEFULNESS: 5
TOTAL: 37
ANALYSIS: Charmaine lacks the drive found in most Careers. Her mental state has been negatively impacted by PTSD and depression over her mother's death and failure to make her proud. Charmaine is a likely first target for stronger Careers, who may or may not be underestimating her.
COMMENTS: That sucks. You just wanted to make Momma proud.
VICTORY AMARINTHINE
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 9
WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIKEABILITY: 9
CONFIDENCE: 7
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 9
RUTHLESSNESS: 5
RESOURCEFULNESS: 4
TOTAL: 44
ANALYSIS: Victory and Jynx will be a strong alliance. Victory may not take this as seriously as Jynx, which could lead to friction. Victory is likely to gain a large following of sponsors.
COMMENTS: That was totally hilarious what happened last time, but I kind of like you. Better luck?
DIAMOND KAI

WEAPONS SKILLS: 9
LIKEABILITY: 8
CONFIDENCE: 4
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 7
RUTHLESSNESS: 7
RESOURCEFULNESS: 5
TOTAL: 43.5
ANALYSIS: Diamond is not expected to outlive Rapture. Her protectiveness and lack of risk-taking support this hypothesis. If Rapture does die before Diamond, her performance is expected to be average.
COMMENTS: You're a real good sister.
OLIVINE MARTINEZ

WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIKEABILITY: 7
CONFIDENCE: 7
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 9
RUTHLESSNESS: 7
RESOURCEFULNESS: 8
TOTAL: 47
ANALYSIS: Olivine is mildly impacted by PTSD brought on by her burns. Her low placing in her previous Games was offset by the quick thinking and perseverence she demonstrated during the fire.
COMMENTS: I always liked you.
CHANTAL IVINGING

WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIKEABILITY: 7
CONFIDENCE: 7

LIKEABILITY: 10
CONFIDENCE: 6
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 9
RUTHLESSNESS: 3
RESOURCEFULNESS: 5
TOTAL: 43
ANALYSIS: Priscilla's previously unmarred mental state has been damaged by the loss of her brother. This will affect all statistics. The loss of her optimism will affect sponsorship and confidence.
COMMENTS: That is low. I voted for Miall, for what it's worth.
DISTRICT TWO MALES
ASH SMITH
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 2
WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIKEABILITY: 7
CONFIDENCE: 7
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 10
RUTHLESSNESS: 7
RESOURCEFULNESS: 5
TOTAL: 38
ANALYSIS: Ash's early death means he does not have the exhaustion and weariness many resurrected Tributes have toward the Games. He had no time to become worn down.
COMMENTS: I see a repeat.
HUNTER DUBCHEN
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: (7, 9)
WEAPONS SKILLS: 9
LIKEABILITY: 7
CONFIDENCE: 6
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 6
RUTHLESSNESS: 4
RESOURCEFULNESS: 9
TOTAL: 43
ANALYSIS: Hunter is more adaptable than many Careers, as seen by his previous alliances. His experience in his most recent Games have rendered him slightly agoraphobic. Hunter will perform much better in daylight.
COMMENTS: That was a raw deal. Still makes me sick to my stomach.
TROY CAHILL
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 8
WEAPONS SKILLS: 9
LIKEABILITY: 7
CONFIDENCE: 7
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 8
RUTHLESSNESS: 7
RESOURCEFULNESS: 5
TOTAL: 44
ANALYSIS: Troy is one of a few Tributes whose mental wellbeing improved after their previous Games. Troy has become more relaxed and this will make him more adaptable in the Arena. It may, however, detrimentally affect his reaction times.
COMMENTS: Good thing none of the Tributes are named Achilles this year.
ORREN DAPHNE
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 9
WEAPONS SKILLS: 9
LIKEABILITY: 0
CONFIDENCE: INAPPLICABLE
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 2
RUTHLESSNESS: 10
RESOURCEFULNESS: 3
TOTAL: 33
ANALYSIS: Orren is not to be allowed to win. For the sake of morale in Panem, Orren will be terminated if it appears he may be victorious. The Games have destroyed his mind and it is not anticipated he will make it far. He was only given two points in psychological state because he is functional, which makes him better than Mist.
COMMENTS: That's creepier than Barley.
DISTRICT TWO FEMALES
AKARI IGNEOUS
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 8
WEAPONS SKILLS: 9
LIKEABILITY: 7
CONFIDENCE: 8 (-1)
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 7
RUTHLESSNESS: 10
RESOURCEFULNESS: 5
TOTAL: 45
ANALYSIS: Akari exhibits flashbacks and bouts of pseudo-narcolepsy. She bears fervent hatred toward the District Two males. She is skilled at distancing herself from her emotions, which will be an advantage. Her past is full of traumatic events that may hinder her.
COMMENTS: I think you might be the one. But anything can happen.
AVARIELLA HANSON
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: (7, 8)
WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIKEABILITY: 9
CONFIDENCE: 5
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 5
RUTHLESSNESS: 2
RESOURCEFULNESS: 8
TOTAL: 39.5
ANALYSIS: Avariella's anorexia is her largest weakness. She has maintained her weight since resurrection. Her selflessness and reverence for life will hinder her. She is likely to get many sponsors, but she may not make use of their offerings.
COMMENTS: I wish you could see how pretty you are.
MARY ELLEN WESTLEY

LIKEABILITY: 4
CONFIDENCE: 10 (-3)
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 7
RUTHLESSNESS: 10
RESOURCEFULNESS: 8
TOTAL: 40
ANALYSIS: Mary Ellen's behavior indicates high levels of psycopathic tendencies. She prefers brutality over efficiency in her kills. She is not expected to win.
COMMENTS: Served you right.
STEEL KESHMIN

WEAPONS SKILLS: 7
LIKEABILITY: 10
CONFIDENCE: 5
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 9
RUTHLESSNESS: 1
RESOURCEFULNESS: 9
TOTAL: 44
ANALYSIS: Steel's unwavering loyalty to the Capitol will gain her sponsors. Her Peacekeeper philosophy will help her survive, but it will not help her kill. Her mental state is much better than most due to her bond with peacekeeper philosophy, but she is also suggestible and idealistic.
COMMENTS: You're not like the others. They won't like that.
ODEDA TITAN
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 7
WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIEKABILITY: 6
CONFIDENCE: 10 (-3)
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 7

LIKEABILITY: 9
CONFIDENCE: 6
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 10
RUTHLESSNESS: 6
RESOURCEFULNESS: 3
TOTAL: 42
ANALYSIS: Lottie is as likely to die naturally as from violence. She is unable to prioritize and the others will attack her swiftly. Her inability to provide food for herself in her previous Games indicates incompetency.
COMMENTS: Oink.
AVERSA JEWEL

CONFIDENCE: 9 (-2)
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 8
RUTHLESSNESS: 9

ANALYSIS: Aversa is repellent and will alienate the others. She is overconfident and is likely to pick a fight she can't win.
COMMENTS: And I want to see it happen.
CIERRA DALINE
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 7
WEAPONS SKILLS: 7
LIKEABILITY: 9
CONFIDENCE: 7
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 9
RUTHLESSNESS: 2
RESOURCEFULNESS: 4
TOTAL: 38
ANALYSIS: Cierra's mental state improved after her first Games. Her unexpectedly high placing has boosted her confidence. However, Cierra is overly soft and will not kill anyone she thinks cannot fight back. She is a follower and will do best in an alliance.
COMMENTS: You show them.
VENUS LORIETA
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 10
WEAPONS SKILLS: 10
LIKEABILITY: 2
CONFIDENCE: INAPPLICABLE
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED
RUTHLESSNESS: 10
RESOURCEFULNESS: 3
TOTAL: 35**
ANALYSIS: Venus' psychological tests were inconclusive. Our psychologists were unable to glean any useful information from her abnormal behavior and atypical reactions. We suspect Venus harbors some combination of psycopathic and sociopathic tendencies. It may be necessary to terminate her.
COMMENTS: The boogeyman has come.
FOUR MALES
WHYTE ROBERTS

WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIKEABILITY: 8
CONFIDENCE: 6
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 7
RUTHLESSNESS: 3
RESOURCEFULNESS: 5
TOTAL: 36
ANALYSIS: Whyte is saddened about losing Vera and may behave erratically because of it. His ADD will hinder him. His chances improve the longer he stays with Floki.
COMMENTS: Aww, I hope you both win. Besties forever!
FLOKI GRIMM
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 9
WEAPONS SKILLS: 10
LIKEABILITY: 9
CONFIDENCE: 7
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 6
RUTHLESSNESS: 3
RESOURCEFULNESS: 8
TOTAL: 45
ANALYSIS: Floki's fugue states provide him with near unstoppable strength. He will not betray his ally or attack anyone he does not deem his equal in combat. He may commit suicide by pitched battle if it seems he is about to die ignobly.
COMMENTS: Aw yeah, now it's a party. Skin those mutts. Bite them shields.
OLE RODGERS
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 9
WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIKEABILITY: 9
CONFIDENCE: 6
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 6
RUTHLESSNESS: 6
RESOURCEFULNESS: 4
TOTAL: 42
ANALYSIS: Ole's ruthlessness is tempered by his protective nature. He is softer than he realizes and dissolving his alliance will pain him. It is possible he will grow impenetrably hard as the Games progress.
COMMENTS: This is a tragedy waiting to happen.
TALLULAH "TALLY" SANDPIPER
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 5
WEAPONS SKILLS: 6
LIKEABILITY: 8
CONFIDENCE: 3 (-1)
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 5
RUTHLESSNESS: 4
RESOURCEFULNESS: 10
TOTAL: 36
ANALYSIS: Tallulah's resourcefulness score was increased due to her skill in first aid. Her bow skills are masterful but her training is minimal among the other Careers. Her mental state is significantly impaired by the extreme trauma of her previous death and the presence of her murderer in this Games. An early death is anticipated.
COMMENTS: A Career healer. There's a first time for everything.
ARIELLE ERMIN
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 7
WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIKEABILITY: 7
CONFIDENCE: 6
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 10
RUTHLESSNESS: 7
RESOURCEFULNESS: 4
TOTAL: 43
ANALYSIS: Arielle has learned from her mistakes and will likely perform better this time. Her alliance is incompatible and will not last long. She is likely to make other allies due to her friendly nature.
COMMENTS: Ditch the witch, girl. Find better allies.
MIST HASTINGS
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 3
WEAPONS SKILLS: 5
LIKEABILITY: 0
CONFIDENCE: INAPPLICABLE
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 1
RUTHLESSNESS: 10
RESOURCEFULNESS: 0
TOTAL: 19
ANALYSIS: Mist cannot rightly be called a Career. She was chosen solely to add drama and has no chance of winning. Her mental illness does appear to have improved slightly since her resurrection. Mist suffers from extreme paranoid delusions and hallucinations similar to violent cases of schizophrenia, but her diagnosis would be more complicated than that if she were examined fully.
COMMENTS: That's not right. She needs help, not more death.
MARLEY XANDER
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 6
WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIKEABILITY: 9
CONFIDENCE: 8 (-1)
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: 10
RUTHLESSNESS: 6
RESOURCEFULNESS: 6
TOTAL: 44
ANALYSIS: Marley's irrepressible humor and optimism make her the most psycholigcally well-adjusted of the Tributes. Her alliance is the most compatible and will be the most fruitful. She may underestimate the dangers of the Games.
COMMENTS: Party on, Mar.
KALIANA "KALI" REESE
PERFORMANCE IN PREVIOUS GAMES: 5
WEAPONS SKILLS: 8
LIKEABILITY: 7
CONFIDENCE: 5
PSYCHOLIGICAL STATE: 9
RUTHLESSNESS: 0
RESOURCEFULNESS: 1
TOTAL: 30
ANALYSIS: Kaliana's ability to die of dehydration in a frozen Arena indicates gross lack of common sense and ingenuity. She lacks the killer instinct of most Careers and will be a primary target. If the Arena is watery, she will likely withdraw and focus on survival.
COMMENTS: Why did you ever volunteer?
*IN CASES WHERE TRIBUTES HAD TWO PREVIOUS GAMES, SCORES WERE AVERAGED.
**VENUS' SCORE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF HER LIKELY PERFORMANCE. OUR INABILITY TO MEASURE HER MENTAL WELLBEING LOWERED HER SCORE DRAMATICALLY.
