Games Tower, The Capitol: Ian Crowley, Head Gamemaker
"All twenty-four tributes are secure in the Tower," mentions Aidan as he slams a two-foot high stack of folders and whatnot into my desk with a sound loud enough to make me wince. My desk! It's goddamn rosewood, for heaven's sake! Does that bastard know how much this stuff costs, especially now that it's extinct? "Here are the bios," he continues. As if that wasn't obvious already. "Have fun."
With that, he spins around and walks back into the elevator, disappearing from view as the doors slide shut. I just sigh and bury my face into my palms. Sometimes I seriously wonder why I keep this idiot around. If it wasn't for the fact that he's twice as fast as all of those other buffoons that I hired as assistants, I would have thrown him off of the top of this damn building long ago.
I guess I had better get started with this garbage.
I pick up the gargantuan heap of papers, and, with a grunt, heave all of it into the industrial-size wastebin by my desk. It's not like I don't have the stuff saved onto my hard drive. No, I only sent for hard copies of all twenty-four of the tributes' bios because it would be fun making Aidan carry all that stuff up a couple flights of stairs and a hundred-story elevator ride. Sure, it kills trees, but whatever. I'll let the people of Seven and Eight deal with that.
Right now, however, I've got more important things to attend to. Namely, checking out these tributes and sending the stylists their clothing sizes. Time to enter stalker mode...
TRIBUTES OF THE 200th HUNGER GAMES
District One: Luxury
Girl—Caramel Burgundy, 16, submitted by Stardust Terrastar
A psychopath in a supermodel's body, Caramel has a morbid fascination with blood and guts, and is one of the bloodthirstiest tributes in the Career pack. Most of the time, she is able to hide her sadistic side under a kind and caring facade, but what will happen when the pressure of the Games overwhelms her? Whatever happens, it will surely be interesting to watch...
Boy—Chandler Kennel, 17, submitted by NikkiFed29
Like his district partner, Chandler is a sadist, wanting nothing more than to cause other people suffering. However, instead of torturing his victims physically, Chandler prefers to do his damage mentally, usually by playing his sickening mind games with them. With an intricate knowledge of the workings of peoples' minds, Chandler is quite a formidable opponent. Will this sadism lead him to victory or his downfall?
District Two: Masonry
Girl—Charlotte Salt, 18, submitted by charlywarlythgtvd
Charlotte is in a girl in a 'constant state of vigilance', as she describes herself...but 'constant state of paranoia bordering insanity' would be a better description. As a result, Charlotte has a rather severe case of multiple personality disorder, which means that she can be a sunny, happy person one minute and turn into a complete bitch the next. How will her fellow Careers put up with this?
Boy—Alden James Stamos, 17, submitted by SeekerDraconis
After being orphaned at the age of seven when his family was murdered, Alden was taken in by the parents of his best friend, Niall Hoult, who raised him as their own. Over time, Alden fell in love with Niall, something that he kept secret from his best friend out of fear of being rejected. When the Peacekeepers showed up in the middle of the night to collect Niall for the Games, Alden volunteered in his place. Now he's ready to do anything to return to the boy he loves.
District Three: Technology
Girl—Reagan Lockster, 16, submitted by XxJinxxedxX
The daughter of an inventor, Reagan has developed a detailed knowledge of machinery and electronics. She is also quite skilled with the use of explosives and bombs, and is proficient in setting exploding traps. If given some mines from around the launch area and expensive chemicals from rich sponsors, she can develop into quite a dangerous contender in these Games...
Boy—Cormier Hemlock, 14, submitted by quiet-little-wallflower
Cormier is a blind, sickly, and quite unfortunate boy who has somehow managed to make it to the second round of Games (Possibly because Reagan's explosive traps killed off most of the boys in his district). He's quite weak and frail, and has been a burden to his family for his whole life. Cormier really has no plans to win, only to die and end his constant state of misery.
District Four: Fishing
Girl—Rain Lakura, 14, submitted by Katnissfire87654
Rain is quite skilled with many weapons, although her skill at lying well is what makes her such a dangerous tribute. Her older sister was killed in the Hunger Games, and her mother died a few years ago, leaving Rain with just her father and her cat. Rain has managed to overcome the rest of the girls in her district to become this year's tribute. Now she's ready to do what her sister couldn't: to win the Hunger Games.
Boy—Ryan Aquarium, 17, submitted by artist quest
Ryan, who received a brain injury from an accident when he was younger, is not the sharpest tool in the box. However, he is able to make up this shortcoming with his tremendous physical strength and endurance. His size and sheer strength will make him a tribute to be feared in this arena. But how will his already-damaged brain be able to cope with the strain of this mental prison?
District Five: Power
Girl—Mireya Spradin, 14, submitted by Karthea
A natural rebel, Mireya has hated the Capitol for as long as she can remember. The cruelty and unfairness of the Capitol and their violent Hunger Games disgusts her. Now that she has been chosen for this year's Games, will she keep her head down and play along with the Capitol, increasing her chances of survival? Or will she make her defiance of the Capitol her final act, choosing to go out with a bang?
Boy—Octavian Amorous, 14, submitted by XMistressChaosx
A brilliant actor, Octavian hides behind his limp and speech defects, playing the part of the weak-willed fool quite well. In reality, however, he is a cunning trickster who can manipulate people and play them against each other with ease. Although not the most physically intimidating tributes, his deadly trickery makes him truly a force to be reckoned with. Can the other tributes discover his secret before it's too late?
District Six: Transportation
Girl—Ivy Langral, 16, submitted by NikkiFed29
Ivy, a friendly and easygoing girl, has never really taken anything seriously, not even when she was chosen for this year's Hunger Games. Instead, she chooses to make snide remarks about almost everything, even the Games and the Capitol. She managed to survive the first wave of horror, mainly from an accident and sheer luck. How will she do in the next round?
Boy—Garratt Treen, 17, submitted by jackel4005
Considered one of the 'nice guys' in District Six, Garratt is friendly but soft-hearted, and prefers to stay out of the center of attention. Although he has managed to survive this far, he finds it very hard to kill. His strategy for these Games is to stay away from the spotlight and let the other tributes do the fighting. Will he succeed? Will he escape the arena with no blood on his hands or die trying?
District Seven: Lumber
Girl—Wisteria Raelon, 15, submitted by imAfan99
Growing up in the shadow of her brother, Drethyx, Wisteria has always been ignored by parents who saw her as a burden, disapproving of her tomboyish and rowdy attitude. Most of the time, she conceals her fiery personality under a quiet demeanor. But now that she and her brother have been reaped for the Games, will she take the opportunity to exact revenge on Drethyx?
Boy—Drethyx Raelon, 17, submitted by imAfan99
Drethyx has always enjoyed more attention from his wealthy parents than his sister, and loves it. His selfishness and persuasion skills are his main assets in these Games, although he is also one of the more physically powerful tributes, standing at over six feet tall. He is quite a ruthless person, caring only about his own survival, and is prepared to kill his own sister to make it happen.
District Eight: Textiles
Girl—Cherlyn Rowlett, 16, submitted by Acid Extortion
Cherlyn is seen by many people, including her own parents, as weird and possibly insane. Instead of interacting with the other children in her district, she spends her days roaming the streets of District Four with her dog Bitsy. Cherlyn is quite notorious in her district for zoning out and doing the wrong things at the wrong times. Will she be able to snap back to reality in time for the Games? Or will she just be another victim of the endless slaughter?
Boy—Justyx Lakyn, 15, submitted by 11o.O
Justyx dislikes fighting, preferring a strategy of staying in the shadows and killing his opponents through long range weapons and traps. He also has a hard time controlling what comes out of his mouth, and often gets into trouble for saying things he shouldn't be, mostly bad things about the Capitol. How long will the Gamemakers tolerate his verbal abuse before finishing him off?
District Nine: Grain
Girl— Cordelia Thomson, 17, submitted by XxJinxxedxX
Clever and witty, Cordelia is a very good liar, and takes advantage of her surroundings, making it her very easy to escape from dangerous situations. Despite not being very strong, her mind is a deadly weapon, especially in this arena of dreams. Will she be able to discover the secret of this arena before the other tributes and use it to her own advantage?
Boy—Sage Alburn, 14, submitted by Crazyllamapersonlol
Despite being the Mayor's son, Sage hates everything about the Capitol, from their totalitarian rule to their sadistic Hunger Games. As most people who have crossed him know, bad things happen to people that he hates. Now that he has become a tribute in these Games, his hatred for the Capitol has increased tenfold. Will he be able to get revenge on the Capitol? Or will his status as a Capitolite lead to his downfall?
District Ten: Livestock
Girl—Chocolate Everlast, 16, submitted by Depthsofthesea
Chocolate has two sides. Most of the time, she displays a quiet, thoughtful personality to the rest of the world. However, she has always had a murderous, deadly dark side hidden deep inside her. Sometimes, she can't control this part of her and will lose her mind. She usually avoids people when she feels her insane side taking control, so that she won't hurt anyone. Will she be able to control her bloodlust? Or will she go down as one of the most insane tributes to have ever entered the Hunger Games?
Boy— Crux Fawn Endmore, 18, submitted by Stardust Terrastar
Growing up in District 10, Crux has developed an affinity for animals and is talented at taming even the fiercest of them. A mysterious tribute, he prefers staying with his tamed beasts instead of other people, and is very protective of them. He is quite powerfully built and has no problem with killing people, although it take him more willpower to kill animals. Can Crux lead his animal army to victory?
District Eleven: Agriculture
Girl—Belladonna Circe, 18, submitted by XMistressChaosx
Sweet, beautiful Belladonna is like an angel to the people of her district, always helping people who need. However, despite her kind personality, she's a deadly fighter, with superhuman physical strength and incredible weapon skills. And, by the way, she also has a lot of rage bottled up inside of her, as she had to raise her six siblings singlehandedly after her father died and her mother went insane. Any bets on how long she's going to last?
Boy—Aconite Acanthus, 17, submitted by Aspect1
A talented actor, Aconite acts kind and friendly, convincing people that he's a nice guy before stabbing them in the back. In reality, Aconite is quite a misanthrope, having no real friends due to his cruel attitude towards others, only an innocent girl named Acacia that he enjoys manipulating. Will he be able to deceive and backstab his fellow tributes before they find out his secrets?
District Twelve: Coal
Girl— Mykal Duncan, 14, submitted by shimmergirl109
Mykal enjoys joking around and goofing off, although it sometimes gets her in trouble with the Peacekeepers in her district. She has also had an enormous crush on a certain boy in her district for as long as she can remember. The only problem? He's going into the Hunger Games with her. Will her district partner return her affection? Or will they have to fight each other to the death?
Boy—Keldon Peak, 14, submitted by shimmergirl109
Keldon, like his district partner, likes making people laugh, although he can be more thoughtful at some times. Now that he's in the Games, he has switched into his "thoughtful" mode. He is also unaware that Mykal likes him and is unsure if he has feelings for her. Will he ally himself with the girl that likes him? Or will he ignore her advances and try to kill her?
Sorry for the late update, but this took forever to write. These are the tributes! Now that you know a little about all of these guys, PM me your alliance requests if you have any. Or else I'll have to waste time choosing them by myself :(.
