In penance for the District Rebellion, once a year every year, as long as the Capitol shall rule, each of the twelve districts of Panem shall offer up two randomly chosen children between the ages of 12 and 18, one male and one female. These children must participate in the annual Hunger Games competition.
The Hunger Games pits children from the districts against each other in a fight to the death. The last child standing wins their district glory and is showered with presents. The Capitol is not liable for any loss of...well...anything (including life). Participation in the Hunger Games is required by all tributes. Offering up of tributes is required by all districts. Other children may volunteer in the place of a tribute of the same gender of the same district.
The Hunger Games take place in an isolated arena designed and controled by Capitol Gamemakers who have the authority to create disasters within the Arena and eliminate tributes just because we feel like it. (Or I feel like it, since I be the gamemaker.)
The Reaping will take place on the fourth of Feburary, 2011. That is a week from tommorow. But first, you need to know a little bit about where your from (and why the heck you're doing this and what's it about.)
***Districts***
District 1-District 1 is one of the thirteen districts of Panem. Its industry is making luxury items for the Capitol. Due to the nature of its industry, it's considered the wealthiest district, the only other wealthier area being the Capitol itself. It is considered a career district
District 2-District 2's seal depicts a block of stone and carving tools. The district's public presentation is that of stone quarries, but it also manufactures weaponry, trains, and supplies Peacekeepers. The main military in the district is known as the Nut. This district is sometimes called "the pets" of the Capitol. They are the biggest supporters of the Capitol therefore babied and given many extra conveniences.
District 3-District 3's primary industry is general electronics of many types, though it is known for also making various mechanical products such as automobiles and firearms. Thus, many of its residents are technically apt.
District 4-District 4's industry is fishing, thus most residents have experience using nets and tridents, making fishhooks from scratch, swimming, and identifying edible sea life. It is considered a Career district.
District 5- District 5's industry is genetic research, thus a district full of scientists and researchers. They are often known for producing the mutations and otherworldly creatures in the hunger games.
District 6-District 6's industry is Trade. They are a very odd bunch, and are known to trade almost anything. Many are addicts of medicine from district five (an example being the painkiller morphling) This...is the wacko district.
District 7-District 7's industry is lumber and many of its residents to have experience with hatchets, axes, saws, and other tree cutting tools.
District 8-District 8's principal industry is the production of textiles, and they have at least one factory that is primarily used for making Peacekeeper uniforms.
District 9-District 9's industry is food processing. Enough said.
District 10-Livestock is District 10's industry. (Good thing they live close to District 9!)
District 11-District 11's industry is agriculture--orchards and fields of grain and cotton surround the district. Almost everything grown is shipped directly to the Capitol. It is one of the poorest districts in Panem, second only to District 12. It is also one of the districts where the Peacekeepers are the strictest. Ironically, this directly results in its residents generally being malnourished and underfed despite its focus on agriculture.
District 12-District 12 is located somewhere in the Appalachian mountains. Its chief industry is coal mining. The district has the distinction of being one of the poorest districts, if not the outright poorest, in all of Panem.
District 13-Its industry was nuclear weapons. Hint on the WAS.
