Thank you Metastar2000 for those three characters, can everyone please make multiple characters so this can really get going faster. Here is District 1 boy.

Ares Redde's POV

I was named after the Greek god of war, Ares. War is all I was ever taught to do, I started the academy when I was nine and it seems my name was given correctly. Ares is associated with the spear, and that happens to be my best weapon. He is also known for being a handsome, determined, and fearless warrior, who fought for destruction, and death.

It really to me sounds like the Hunger Games; maybe they should be called the Ares Games instead. Mother insisted on this name when I was born and thought that I was going to come home one day a admirable, strong victor of the Hunger Games.

I have no intentions to do so and plan only to volunteer if my sister Athena is ever chosen. The name Athena fits her well too, she is a bright, strong, and thoughtful girl who wouldn't be caught dead killing someone. That's why I would have to replace her.

I look into the dirty mirror in my room, my reflection looking back at me. I think to myself would I ever volunteer for the Hunger Games, could I ever win, am I as handsome as Ares, do I belong in district 1? Father would have answered my questions, but he's dead, gone in a fire that destroyed several houses of District 1. My father was the only casualty.

Mother having grieved for most of the past four years and has made sure I look my best for the reaping, that's really all that she cares for anymore, the Hunger Games, and us. I have oily slicked back hair, a clean pressed white shirt, and black slacks. I think I look like someone from one of the capitol clothes store adds.

I say hello to mom who's sitting at the breakfast table quietly Athena brushing her long black hair, her plain grey eyes staring off out into the window.

"Athena it's time to go" I say quietly and she nods kissing mother before starting to head out the door.

"Bye mom" I whisper in her ear "I won't be coming home today" I say knowing that Athena will be picked this year. "Love ya" And I walk out the door.

…

The reaping seems overly crowded this year and I see our district escort right away with her bright pink wig. She begins reaping the girls and calls out Thorne, who I recall is actually very good with knifes and jumping from the academy. But Thorne volunteers for herself. I laugh a little silently as she realizes her mistake and walks confidently to the stage and flutters her eyelashes at the camera. And I remember the words of our teacher "The games begin before you even reach the capitol" She's really getting into it. Next she calls the boys and I don't know what happens but as soon as she calls the name I immediately say "I volunteer" and as I walk quickly to the stage I whisper.

"Take care of mom" I Athena's tiny ear. I am so ready for the Hunger Games.

Probably not my best chapter, but ya, R&R, keep submitting those tributes and may the odds be ever in your Favor.
