Epilogues are available to be changed if any submitter wants to. I wrote some up so everyone could be surprised, but if anyone wants to change their Tributes' ending I'll update the chapter. Most of these epilogues were drawn from elements of the Tributes' forms, but some Tributes were based on someone (psst it's Robbie, Persi and Josie), and in those cases I based them on the real-life people.
For my own convenience, I had the prize be $10,000 per round the contestant lasted. For my own convenience, I am also assuming a Panem dollar is worth the same as an American dollar in current times. Each contestant's total is somewhat higher than their raw prize money, since they got endorsement deals and swag bags and things like that in the ensuing few months.
AI LATIER: $10,000
Ai used most of his prize money to aid Beetee in building another wing onto their house in order to accommodate more children. After finishing school, he decided to stay in his childhood home indefinitely. Since Beetee's endeavours financially support the family, Ai is able to stay home caring for the house and an ever-changing array of foster and adopted children. He married a similarly homebodied spouse and they and their children remain in Beetee's very large home and adoption center.
CLOVER NGUYEN: $20,000
After appearing on television, Clover was too recognizable to support rebellion efforts in-person. He used his prize money to gain acceptance into the District college, which was generally only for children of Capitolites living in Eleven. He got a degree in English to throw off suspicion, but really used the time and resources to learn about strategy and diplomacy. He continues to aid rebellion efforts behind-the-scenes with his tactical knowledge.
TRAYNE TREADWELL-LANG: $30,000
Trayne has a scar from his appendectomy, which he thinks is wicked cool. His parents convinced him to use his prize money to go to trade school. He earned a plumber's license and has plenty of work with the often-bursting pipes of frigid northern Six. He married a mechanic and they have two rambunctious girls who also like hockey.
JOSIE STONE: $40,000
Josie invested her prize money in various businesses and eventually collected enough money to start her own business. Her business would have been fine if she'd merely run it normally, but she constantly finds one scam or another and gets herself in trouble with the law. Every time this happens she manages to scrape enough money and start a different business. She and her various grifts are well-known in her area. Most people don't like her, but she continues to not care.
ROBBIE EMMERS: $50,000
Robbie returned home to find he was something of a fan-favorite with Capitol audiences. This led to occasional TV appearances that were a welcome financial boost. He eventually married his girlfriend Brittney and the two share a cozy farmhouse with their son. When he's doing farm work, Colby enjoys his hobby business of restoring antique tractors and farm equipment.
BIRDIE SEGUARO: $60,000
Birdie earned a degree in agricultural studies. She saved most of her prize money until she was older and certain she knew how to best use it. When this time arrived, she contributed greatly toward the establishment of a District Park in Six. The park preserves hundreds of acres of nature and provides a sanctuary for wildlife. She lives on the grounds in a small cabin that is part of her benefits for being on the park staff as an agricultural specialist. After growing out of her crush on Sunnaria, Birdie has started a relationship with a park ranger.
KENDALL DELANCY: $70,000
Kendall was already rich, so he gave most of his money to charity. He excelled in his geology classes and continued his education until he finished a PhD. He divides his time between field work doing geology stuff and his professor position at District Two University. When his mother had a health scare, Kendall realized he needed to tell his family who he was or he would regret it. His parents were surprised and unsure how to react when Kendall revealed his sexual orientation, but they assured him they still loved him. Then word got around their social circle and they found out literally no one cared at all and they should stop being so nervous about it.
AMBERLYNN HYDE: $80,000
Amberlynn turned her money and connections into an elite event planning business that immediately exploded. Everyone in the Capitol wanted to say they'd had a party planned by a celebrity, and this influx of business was enough to make the business stable long-term. Amberlynn found herself spending more and more time in the Capitol for events until eventually she was invited to become a permanent resident. She travels the country for her events but her home base is the Capitol. She absolutely loves the nightlife and bustle and is usually either planning a party or partying at one. She thinks she might start a long-term relationship sometime, but for the moment she's having too much fun sowing her wild oats.
ROWENA ASPEN: $90,000
Rowena's parents managed to convince her to put the majority of her prize in a trust for when she turned 21. She kept out a little for fun money and blew it on stupid stuff. She absolutely does not regret this. She started looking for jobs that involved being far away from nature and fell into a position as a gym teacher. She liked the active aspect of it and finds she relates to her teen students, since they are also impulsive and emotional. She is loved and feared as the school's basketball coach- feared for her sometimes explosive outbursts when she feels her team is slacking, but loved for her just as impulsive declarations that it's time for the team to go get ice cream.
TAYLOR TREADLE: $100,000
Taylor bought a ton of white face powder, black edgy boots, and fingerless gloves. None of these are expensive, so she had plenty of money for savings. She has made great progress with her trauma in therapy. With her therapist's encouragement, she eased herself into the baby world by volunteering to hold and cuddle abandoned infants at her local hospital. Her next goal is to short-term foster an infant. She wishes she could support herself on the emo poetry books she keeps self-publishing, but they generally only earn back their cost of printing, so she also works at a bookstore and has a roommate.
VIRGO CHARLESTON: $110,000
Virgo's fame got her one of the extremely competitive spots at Ten's veterinary college. She completed an accelerated program meant to augment her existing training with more elite resources and equipment. She is in the process of taking over Dr. Lovelace's practice as he eases into retirement. She recently became engaged to a handsome manual laborer named Frank. They live in Virgo's small farmhouse accompanied by the bestiary of animals she has adopted or brought home when they were abandoned at her practice.
TRYDAN BRIOD: $120,000
Trydan enrolled in college intending to stay in the wind turbine business, but discovered a passion for engineering and switched majors. He found his niche in civil engineering, planning future cities and ferreting out any discrepancies. He currently has a position as an inspector ensuring facilities and buildings are up to code. He is feared and sometimes hated for being extremely strict, but he refuses to allow any chance that irregularities may cause problems down the line. In college he met his husband, Dynamo, or "Mo". Mo was a liberal arts student and has a much more casual approach to life. He is very content to be a homemaker while Trydan does stressful work all day and loves welcoming Trydan home so he can decompress.
PERSI CARAWAY: $130,000
Persi bought the coolest gaming system ever and still loves it. She gave the bulk of her prize money to a wealth management firm and turned it into enough money to buy an apartment for herself and her siblings. When her oldest sibling became old enough to run the store, Persi seized her chance to try something new. She took a few months off just to rest, then went out to find her passion. After dabbling in various fields, she found a zeal for advocacy and social work. Despite her siblings' frequent pleas to slow down, Persi has thrown herself into various initiatives and programs intended to reduce crime and rehabilitate criminals. She is currently unpartnered and is eagerly awaiting the adulthood of her younger siblings so she can finally have some solitude.
ENZO CHARMONT: $140,000
Enzo compromised with himself and took $40,000 of his prize money for himself with the rest going into savings. He bought a cool car and a bunch of fireworks. Acknowledging that he also has to be responsible, he went to trade school and got his welding license. He lives in a ratty apartment since he prefers to spend his money on fun stuff. He has of yet not found a long-term partner, but he's always down for some fun. He was greatly relieved when he went to the first Survivor reunion and learned Amberlynn and Rowena do not hate him for voting against him. They merely referred to him as "Ivar the Boneless" for a week.
CACTUS CLEO: $150,000
Cactus was already rich, so he didn't care about the money. As he reflected upon his time with Lana, he decided he'd been unfair to his fellow humans and that they really were worth something. This revelation spurred him to turn in Leo Cleo for his murders. Legal proceedings are still ongoing. Since Cactus was a minor at the time of the murders and since Leo was the clear instigator, there is the possibility of clemency for Cactus, especially since he is cooperating with the investigation and is willing to testify. There has been word lately of a plea deal that would get him probation and a new identity.
ALARA DORY BANKS: $160,000
Alara considered a career in politics or some other influential fields but eventually declined, fearing that she would be in her mother's shadow. She went to college as an undecided major so she could learn what she liked and might want to do. She found an affinity for business and for literature and combined these two into a career as a literary agent. She enjoys deciding which books she will champion and tirelessly knocking on doors and drumming up support. After her on/off relationship with Hudson fizzled and several more relationships failed to thrive, she has begun to contemplate if she might be asexual.
DORIAN SARGASSO: $170,000
Dorian converted a van into a tiny camper and has achieved his dream of being a beach bum. He lives down by the ocean and spends his time surfing and doing nothing with his friends. He gives tourists and Capitolites surfing lessons to support himself. He doesn't need to do too many, since his main expenses are beer and puka shell necklaces.
KALLIK: $180,000
Kallik used her prize money, as well as donations from several of her fellow competitors, to start a free school in her childhood home of rural Nunavut, which had until that point been serviced only by spotty online schooling. She also started a scholarship for Native students to attend college. Recipients of the scholarship pledge a percentage of their earnings upon graduation, with these funds going to provide microloans to Native entrepreneurs. She is beloved by all in her town and is regularly greeted and praised whenever she leaves her house. Her current project is an electricity collective which will provide sliding-scale services to low-income households.
Kallik and Val humored the Capitol and went on a few dates. They never intended it to become something serious but enjoyed all the free outings. After a few weeks, Val very ostentatiously appeared in public with another woman, dramatically "breaking Kallik's heart" and ending the fake relationship. The pair retain a Valentine's Day tradition of sending each other the stupidest Valentine's Day items they can find.
YARROW VENUS: $190,000
Yarrow fell into a funk upon arriving home. She had money and fame but had no idea what she wanted to do with it. Out of resigned curiosity, she started therapy. Her therapist helped her recognize her alexithymia and confusion about her identity. Yarrow started the painful process of working through her abandonment and emotional distancing. Progress was slow at first, but she made a breakthrough when she realized she could help others like herself. She's not certain of anything yet, but she thinks she might eventually want to adopt a child.
LANA MASON: $200,000
Isabella aided Lana in setting up an ironclad financial profile her family could not touch. With the encouragement of Octavia and Evelyne, she left her family and bought a townhouse of her own. She works at a movie theater and is content with a modest lifestyle within her means. She and Evelyne remained girlfriends for three more years until Evelyne proposed. The Capitol got word of this media opportunity and lavished the pair with a spectacular, luxurious wedding. Lana's fellow competitors were encouraged to attend and were eager to agree. Octavia was her maid of honor.
OCTAVIA VELLA: $210,000
Since she now had full access to her fortune again, Octavia didn't need the money. She gave some of it to Lana toward the purchase of her house and dispersed the rest into various charities. She and Leo started dating, both from interest and from Capitol pressure. They had a lovely few months together and then acknowledged that Octavia needed to discover and center herself. They remained dear friends. Octavia returned to her political career and found that many people underestimated her, counting her out as a vapid celebrity. This was greatly to her advantage.
(More details coming on Octavia since her submitter has a whole plan, but this is the gist of it)
SHEP HOWARD: $220,000
Shep quickly grew tired of fame and people gawking at him. He retreated into his community and started his own household and farm. With his good looks and attractively large flock of sheep, it was not difficult for him to woo a young lady to his farm. He spends his days patrolling his farm on horseback, tending to his animals and fixing whatever needs fixing. His wife Violet is much more outgoing and enjoys being the one who takes their products to the farmer's market to sell. They share two children, a daughter and a son, and Shep is a wise and patient father to them.
LEO FABRIZIO: $230,000
Leo enjoyed all of his prize money in the most enjoyable way possible: giving it all away. He did still benefit somewhat, though, since he gave some to his parents and they used it on the family. He continues his religious studies and is being mentored by his pastor to someday take over shepherding their underground church. Ten years after Survivor, Leo reconnected with Octavia while they were in the Capitol for a cast reunion. They knew it was meant to be- Leo would call it God's plan, while Octavia might call it fate- when they were both still single and both still felt that spark. After a short courtship, they married. With Octavia's career and connections, it made more sense for Leo to move to Two. He was delighted at the prospect of a new mission field. Octavia uses her political expertise to subtly advocate for increased religious freedom and to warn Leo when raids are afoot.
Val gets his own few chapters since he's the star. I was really impatient to write the epilogues, though, so I went ahead.
