AN: I originally did this storybook with the people in my "District 13" user group. If they were in this storybook, they can chose to keep their old districts or adopt new ones. This storybook is an adaptation of an event alluded to in "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins, and it does not belong to me.

25 years have passed since the end of the dark days and the start of the first hunger games. Although you weren't alive then, your parents were.
Whatever the case, you know that is the first quarter quell. Your parents and teachers have explained it to you. The President will announce it tonight. You pay close attention to your television set.
"As a reminder to the rebels that their children were dying because of their choice to initiate violence, each district will be made to hold an election to decide on their tributes."
You freeze, hopeless. The reaping will be soon. May the odds be ever in your favor.


The reaping begins, and you are inevitably voted to represent your district. You are thrust on a luxury train, which holds fine accommodations and the best food you've ever tasted. But you can't help thinking about what lies in store.

You meet your stylist. You make your way through training, and soon the interviews come. You look through the crowd, thinking of who will be your ally. But before we begin, why don't we know a little bit more about you? Once that information is received, the interviews can begin.

-Note-

If you haven't read the Hunger Games and want to be in this storybook, completely fine! We are willing to accept anyone, and I can explain it for you if need be. However, it helps if you have read it.

Also, we will be using original characters for this storybook, considering this is 50 years before the hunger games took place.

-Districts & Death Order-

We will not know the death order until everyone has joined. With that said, I'm going to limit the spots to 12. That way nobody has to play a character that gets killed off two seconds into the game. Once 12 people have joined put all the names in a hat-and then I will post the death order here, so keep your eyes peeled.

Districts will be assigned as I don't want any fights to take place, or anyone to quit just because they don't like their district. So, join for now, leave the "District" field open. Once twelve people join, I will put names in a hat and pick that way.


Here is the death order (and the the districts) for everyone.

(Winner) RedBird - District 9
(Last to Die) saquash - District 12
(22rd to Die) Elinor Brynn - District 1
(21nd to Die) AquaMarine - District 6
(20st to Die) JasmineBells - District 11
(19th to Die) Kaywiia - District 5
(18th to Die) Apple - District 3
(17th to Die) Bubblegum - District 7
(16th to Die) imapoemperson - District 8
(15th to Die) foxfire - District 4
(13th to Die) ridersofdamar - District 2
(12th to Die) Chinchillagirl_34 - District 10

Name: Dodge Svalsson
Nickname: Dodge
Age: 15
District: 9
Appearance: Tall and pale, with tons of freckles, and a mop of red hair. Brown eyes, and a hawkish nose. Although he was never supposed to train for the Hunger Games, he found a disused house with a spacious basement, and used sticks to practice sword play. He is now fairly good at it.
Personality: Back at home, he's a fun loving guy, who just wants to be with his friends. He was extremely conflicted when his own best friend's mother made the final vote to put him in as a tribute. He can run very well, and knows how to survive in hard circumstances. He generally refuses to give up, and thinks he has a chance of winning.
And remember...A portkey can be any sort of harmless object...A football...or a dolphin.

I'm taking back Anton. :D

Name: Anton Hinton

Nickname: Ant, Anton.

Age: Sixteen

District: Six (scientists)

Appearance: Around 5'8 in height, and average build. His hair is very messy, brown, and comes to the bottom of his ears. His eyes are a similar shade, but a lot of the time he wears glasses to aid him while working. Anton will usually look distant, when he's home at least. He generally wears casual clothes, but obviously his stylist will change that.

Personality: He is regarded as one of the top brains of his generation in District 3. He was chosen for the Games because he volunteered to go; he did that because he was curious about the Games and wanted to see it first hand. Anton is very kind and nice, but most of the time people don't see this because of his distractedness and dreaminess in general. Anton knows that he needs to come back to earth during the games and become more practical, but he's worried that that might be hard to do. But he will do his best to use his scientific brain to his advantage.

Name: James Mactavish
Nickname: Roach
Age: seventeen
District: [Leave Blank For Now]
Appearance: He's average height, but broad shouldered. He has short brown hair that he wears in a slight mohawk, (only a couple of centimeters tall). He has blue eyes and his skin is fairly tanned from spending a lot of time outside.
Personality: He got his nickname because he refused to give up on something he wanted to learn or do. He is the son of a butcher, so he has a lot of experience with knives, and that sparked a desire to learn how to fight. He learned how to box at a young age, and despite not being very good at it in the beginning he stuck with it and is now pretty good. He is quiet, but determined, and he doesn't want to die in the hunger games, but he knows he doesn't have it in himself to kill.

I think the best thing about making it into the quote generator is when nobody tells you, so one day you're just scrolling and voila, some phenomenally inane thing that crawled out of your dying synapses and immediately regretted being born the second it made contact with the air has been archived for all time. Or worse, a remark of only average inanity. Never tell me when you've put me in the generator. Pride-tinged regret just doesn't taste the same without the spice of surprise.
