The 51st Hunger Games! (TRAINING PART 5 + 6)

Hi! So I've kinda lurked on these forums for like a week or something and I've fallen in love with all the Hunger Games fanfics so I'm gonna write my own!

It's the 51st Hunger Games, a year after the brutal Second Quarter Quell. The Gamemakers will be desperate to make these games just as, if not more, interesting and entertaining!

Maximum of two characters per user but I'll maybe change that to 3 if submissions that a while.

  • Hi, if anyone wanted to see what my writing was like I made a short interview between the Gamemaker and Caesar, I hope you like it!


    Bright lights glare into my eyes as cheery Caesar Flickerman welcomes me to the stage. My smile stretches across my dark skin and I wave amiably to the audience who are screaming and applauding.

    “Eudoxia Gronicks, everybody!” Caesar bellows, his arm reaching out for me. The crowd love it and screech more ecstatically. “Now, Eudoxia, welcome,” Caesar greets, his eyes switching from me to the audience, “In the 11 years I’ve been hosting these interviews, I don’t think I’ve ever had to pleasure to interview a female Gamemaker, which is great! Right, ladies and gents?” Laughing, Caesar involves the audience and a few people chuckle, but majority just clap.

    “I know, I personally can’t wait to host this year’s Hunger Games!” I beam. Truthfully, I’ve been hoping to host a Hunger Games ever since I remember watching my first one, which was the 29th Hunger Games. Just being in control of what happens, who lives, who dies, it’s everything I’ve ever dreamt about!

    Caesar crosses his right leg over his left one and leans in slightly, “I can only imagine the difficulty you’ll have, last year’s was incredible!” He grins, relaxing back into his chair as everyone cheers. It’s true, last year was fantastic. 48 tributes must have been a dream!
    “Oh, don’t worry about that Caesar…” I smirk, looking at the expecting crowd, “I’m going to make it just as exciting.” Hopeful cheers and whistles erupt around me and I smugly smirk again, crossing my arms.

    Allow me to create the first tribute :)

    I'm going to make a second one later, but for now I'm claiming the D4 female before anyone else does.


    Name: Morgan Moore

    District: 4

    Gender: Female

    Age (12-18): 16

    Personality: Morgan has a fiery temper and a sharp tongue, quick to lash out at anyone who gives her a bad time. She is quick-witted and a smooth talker, able to brutally mock anyone who tries to insult her in any way. This can even be seen as cruel and cold by some people. However, she has a good heart and is usually able to forgive those who wronged her. She likes to appear ruthless and cruel to make sure those who could be a danger to her fear her. However, this is merely an act as she has in fact a good heart and is far nicer towards anyone who is not a threat to her. Behind her ruthless facade, she is sweet and surprisingly caring towards others. Naturally, she does not show this unless she is sure that the person she is kind to won't tell anyone. However, she has severe trust issues, usually fearing the moment where an ally turns against her, often taking preparations to stay safe should anyone decide to betray her. In stark contrast to that, she has a very strong sense of family and friendship and even though she can be manipulative, she would never betray her friends or kill them unless in self-defence. Should she see someone as a friend, she can be very caring towards them, but always fears the moment where they will inevitably turn against her. In dangerous situations, she will always try to stay safe herself, even if that means that people she cares for suffer for it. However, should something happens to her friends, she blames herself and usually shows deep regret for this, sometimes even trying to make amends if possible. From time to time, her sweet personality breaks through, leading to her becoming emotional and openly caring towards others, especially in times of great emotional stress for her and people she cares for.

    Appearance: Morgan is 5'5 tall, with light brown hair and ocean blue eyes. She has a pretty face and a slight tan from the many hours she spent outside. On her left cheek she has a small, but very visible scar. She is physically fit, able to move very fast, striking quick and with brutal force.

    Backstory: Morgan was born into a family of poor fishers. She is the youngest of three sisters and was always seen as the families sunshine, spending her early childhood nearly constantly smiling and having fun. Her older sisters gave her a strong sense of family and friendship, which lead to her becoming a very sweet girl, popular with others and a good friend. She was always adventurous, roaming the landscape of District 4, sometimes alone, sometimes with her sisters, sometimes with friends. However, one of these small adventures marked a major turning point in her personality. When she was fourteen, she and Marlin, a boy she had a crush on, were wandering through the district, when suddenly Marlin saw a squirrel, killing it with a makeshift knife to get some food for his family. Morgan slightly freaked out by this, since she feared what the peacekeepers would do to them should they find out. They were indeed watched by a peacekeeper, who confronted them with what he saw. To save his own life, Marlin told the peacekeeper a lie about Morgan being the one who killed the squirrel. This betrayal absolutely devastated her and lead to a permanent change in her personality. Fortunately for her, the peacekeeper was one of the better ones, not interested in punishing an innocent girl when he had actually seen the true culprit. He gave her a heavy slap in the face as a punishment, resulting in the scar on her cheek and told her to go home, while he took care of Marlin. She never saw him again and never cared to find out what happened to him. After this, she started to become more aggressive, distancing herself from several old friends in fear that they would betray her too one day. She became increasingly cold towards anyone who wasn't family, but also felt deeply troubled by this, often trying to trust other people again, to no avail.

    Preferred weapon: Trident

  • I certainly like it! You're writing is really good and I have a very good feeling that this is going to be a great story.

  • edited April 2015

    Name: Lea Orford

    District: 7

    Age: 17

    Personality: Lea is not everybody's cup of tea. She hates the pity that her and her family have gotten since her dad died. She's quick with a comeback when somebody messes with her or her family. She hates attention and would rather divert the attention away. Because of this, Lea has few friends, because she closed other people off immediately. She gives this icy exterior to her own family, but that does not mean she loves them any less, she wants the twins to grow up to be independent and responsible. When she watched Haymitch's Games last year, she smiled and believed the Capitol was shown to not hold all the power and was happy somebody finally showed them up.

    Appearance: The first thing people notice about Lea is her height, she stands at 6'4 and because if her size, can handle well in a fight. Broad shoulders and while she's thin from lack of food, she's strong. Her hair is loose and wavy and falls to her shoulders, but she typically wears it in a bun. Hazel eyes and olive skin. Stern face that doesn't show much emotion. She's been told she has her dad's personality as well as height and her mother's good looks.

    Backstory: Lea would go work to work and provide for her family after a cut tree crushed her father when she was 11. She has an older brother who she resents for not providing to the family and two younger siblings that are fraternal twins, one make and one female who she cares deeply for. Her life hasn't been easy, she's had friends and there family give her and her siblings food but Lea hates taking there food because they pity her. She does anything she can to get food, steals it from the market, hunts, you name it, she's done it. When her brother, Rowan who's only twelve is drawn to fight in the Games, Lea volunteers so she can help look out for him.

    Weapon: Hatchet, her strength.

    Name: Rowan Orford

    District: 7

    Age: 12

    Personality: He tries to keep a positive attitude, unlike his sister who's become cold. In fact, Lea and Rowan have completely opposite personalities. While Lea is cold and closed off, Rowan is a friendly and caring guy who cares for others because of his tragic upbringing. He's recently started working in the forest as well, though he's not as experienced with an axe or hatchet as Lea is.

    Appearance: Rowan is tall for his age at 5'7 but not nearly as tall as Lea. He's an attractive young boy, forest green eyes, dark brown hair that falls in waves over his forehead. He's on the thin side from the lack of food. His twin sister is similar to him, hair in two braids, forest green eyes and dark brown hair.

    Backstory: His backstory's the same as Lea's. He was only six when he lost his father. There mother is still alive but can't work anymore after she lost a leg. He tries to keep positive, and isn't as closed off as Lea became. Likely because he was still young when his father died.

    Weapon: Running, hiding, limited experience with an axe. He's interested in learning traps.

  • Name: Foxglove Soot

    Gender: Male

    Age: 18

    District: 12

    Personality: Foxglove is rather mistrustful of those whom he has yet to be acquainted with. He is loyal to his friends but can be seduced out of loyalty. He is merciless when it comes to deciding an opponent's fate.

    Appearance: Foxglove is 5 feet and 8 inches tall and of muscular build. He has reddish-brown hair and the beginnings of a stubble on his face. He is regarded to be quite handsome despite the soot seemingly always caked onto his face from his excessive amounts of mining. He also has dark grey eyes. Several scars are carved onto his body with a few visible on his face.

    Backstory: Foxglove comes from a family of miners and is the second-eldest out of his 5 siblings. He spends most of his days mining and has rarely ever seen sunlight. He enjoys hiding in the dark. He would volunteer himself if any of his siblings were in danger of getting reaped.

    Preferred weapon: Anything blunt.

    And here's my second tribute. Took me a while longer to come up with something I haven't exactly used in the other stories, but I'm happy with how he turned out. Originally I planned him as the D2 male, but Zach was faster :P


    Name: Charon Malgus

    District: 6

    Gender: Male

    Age (12-18): 18

    Personality: At first, Charon displays many characteristics stereotypically seen with tributes from the career districts. He is arrogant, vengeful and can come off as rude. While usually starting a conversation in a very polite way, he is quick to show a very cynical and callous side of himself, rarely taking someone's feelings into consideration. He is easy to anger, but very good at hiding this, often preferring to take cold vengeance instead of simply lashing out directly at someone. On top of that, he appears to be completely ruthless, showing little to no empathy with others. However, this isn't all there is to him. Behind his usual cynical and arrogant personality, he shows great intelligence and is actually not as bad as he seems to be at first. Charon is not a cruel man, despising brutal violence and actually hates nothing more than needless killing. While he indeed cares mainly for himself, he is also able of surprising acts of kindness, especially when it comes to younger tributes. In fact he would even consider helping others, especially when this in turn might be able to help him in the long run. His main weaknesses are indeed children, who often remind him off his siblings and he often finds himself unable to keep his cold and abrasive attitude around them, even showing genuine concern and kindness around them. He is also a surprisingly loyal person, albeit his definition of loyalty sometimes includes hurting the people he cares for in order to help them, often deliberately appearing far worse than he actually is in order to anger others and to help them overcome their weaknesses, cruelly mocking and teasing them over their failures and mistakes until they start to work on them. When he is alone, he becomes deeply thoughtful, troubled with regret over the things that happened in his life. He is determined to win the games over everything else though, knowing what is at stake for him, which leads to him being incredibly troubled over the thought that he might have to kill children soon in order to make it back home.

    Appearance: Charon is very tall, standing almost 6'3 in height, on top of being very muscular thanks to hundreds of hours of hard labour. He has dark brown hair which he wears extremely short and light brown eyes with a very piercing, slightly unnerving stare. His facial features are quite plain and dull-looking and his usual facial expression is a cold smirk.

    Backstory: Charon was born into one of the poorest parts of District 6. His parents greatly cared for him, but were weak-willed and unable to shelter him from the horrors a life in poverty often had. He got disillusioned with his district, the capitol, the games and Panem in general from a very young age, growing up into a splendid cynic, learning that the only person he should care for is himself. However, he always had one weakness, namely his younger sisters Astra and Demica. While both of his parents fell into a serious morphling addiction soon after his sister's birth, Charon took it onto himself to raise them better than he was raised. However, like his parents he was a very weak person, failing to protect his sisters when necessary and failing to teach them strength when necessary. One day, when he wasn't paying attention to what his sisters where doing, both of them were attacked by a desperate morphling addict who hoped that they were rich girls whom he could ransom to finance his addiction. He killed Demica immediately by accident and kidnapped Astra. Charon tried to save his sister, but accidentally provoked the morphling addict, causing him to seriously wound Astra. In a fit of rage, Charon beat the addict to death before hiding his body in fear of the peacekeepers. His sister survived but required continuing and expensive medical treatment from this day onwards to live without pain. The costs of her treatment soon depleted the families limited resources and lead to Charon working extremely hard to get the money needed. The events of that day also changed him into the cold and self-centered cynic he is today. He directly blamed himself for what happened to both of his sisters, believing that he failed to teach them strength. He also tried his best to stop caring for others, albeit he always retained a soft spot for children in his heart, especially since they always remind him of his sisters. While he somehow managed to work hard enough to pay for the medical treatment Astra needed, her condition eventually got worse, as well as the costs for her treatment. Knowing fully well that he won't be able to pay for her treatment for much longer, he decided to take his chances in the last Hunger Games he is able to participate in and started to make plans to volunteer, in the hopes that he will be able to get treatment for her should he win, or that he will at least die trying and in the knowledge that he did all he could for her.

    His motive for volunteering sounds like Cheyenne's from @TWD_25 story. But your's is way better and more detailed.

    And here's my second tribute. Took me a while longer to come up with something I haven't exactly used in the other stories, but I'm happy wi

    Oh darn, I'm sorry! Rereading it, I see the similarities. It's unintentional, I swear, albeit I'm pretty sure her backstory was in my subconsciousness when thinking about his and likely inspired me. It makes for a good motive for volunteering after all and it does wonders in giving him positive character traits :D

  • It's fine, I wasn't accusing you. I just thought it was cool.
