Once again, age has been randomized, but this time I'm picking things like sexuality and status. I have also introduced betting odds, which will be updated after the training scores are revealed next episode
Also, for those wondering, here's how the career selection works:
35+- Basic skill test
35 to 30- Interview skills
30 to 25- Weapon skills
25 to 20- Combat skills
20 to 15- Survival
15 to 12- Obstacle course
12 to 10- Strategy
10 to 8- Mental test
8 to 6- Individual tests
6 to 4- Paintball
4 to 2- Intelligence
2 to 1- Final fight
Gillie was one of 34 girls to volunteer for the 95th games and was placed 11th in the odds to win the title, but as the system to select the tribute went on, her odds gradually grew. During the system, she met Athena, a fellow girl hoping to get into the games. They were seen waling to Athena's room one night, with neither leaving. The two girls were a strong team and made it to the final 4, also known as the intelligence round. The girls made a deal to share answers. Gillie comfortable finished 1st, but then Athena and another girl, Dina, tied for 2nd, and only two tributes could move on. A tiebreaker occurred, but not wanting to fight Athena in the final round, Gillie famously gave her the incorrect answer, elimination her and bringing Dina to the final 2 with her. In the final challenge, it was a blowout, with Gillie easily beating Dina, and earning the title of Tribute for District 1
Nate was one of 40 boys to volunteer in District 1. His odds of winning the system were 2:1, the highest odds ever, especially considering this year's pool of volunteers was the strongest in a long time. Nate easily seemed to breeze all of the challenges, which lead many to be suspicious, considering his mother was the head of the system. Still, Nate won the final round. The committee tried to disqualify him, but oddly, all of them were found dead in their beds the next morning. Nate easily won the title of Tribute for district 1
Many were shocked to see Khloe volunteer. If she were to win the system, she'd be the youngest career ever to participate in the games, having turned 12 only the week before the system began. Many of her fellow volunteers underestimated her, thus allowing her to slip through the various rounds until she reached the obstacle course at the final 15. Due to her small size, Khloe struggled through the course, falling over and over again. She eventually placed 14th, which meant she was eliminated, however, a group of three sisters was forced to quit due to their father having a sudden stroke, allowing Khloe into the top 12. She struggled through the rest of the challenges, barely avoiding elimination multiple times, but in the paintball round at the final 6, she wasn't targeted at all, as the bigger threats eliminated themselves, allowing her to get into her strength round: Intelligence. Khloe easily won the round, advancing to the final fight. It was a close battle, with both girls breaking each other's bones, but Khloe ultimately came out on top when the other girl quit from exhaustion, winning the system
Yet another young career won it in District 2, however, from looking at JG, you wouldn't say he was 13- more like 17 or 18. Many didn't realize JG was as young as he was, but he looked, acted, and had the ability of an adult as he steamrolled the system, doing so well at some challenges he broke them! He got 1st place in every round except for the Paintball round, where he was targeted, but he ultimately survived, going on to win. His odds are so low because of his age, which is a factor in deciding the odds, as nobody under 15 has won the games for over 20 years
Kiara is a quiet girl from District 3. She doesn't work in tech, instead of working in the dining room as a chef in a major company located in District 3, a job usually given to the true failures in the eye of the District. However, she quickly picked up the skills of being a chef, quickly becoming very handy with a knife. Her age and knife skills raised her training score, but with District 3 is one of the worst-performing Districts, it was lowered by that
Bolta works in the gym section of District 3, making a living creating treadmills. He also earns a small living from being the secretary for a major capitol streamer. His odds are also low because of District 3's bad record
Amanda was somebody nobody really predicted to win the system. Her motto seemed to be "Don't get eliminated" and often seemed to underperform in challenges. Her strategy was not to be a threat and allowed her true colors to show at the final 4, shocking everyone with her ability to remember statements and codes. She went on to also win the final round
District 4 Male: Christian
Age: 15
Sexuality: Gay
Status: Volunteer
Odds: 5-1
Christian is the opposite of what a normal career seems like. He's not cocky, rather shy, and really doesn't seem like he wants to be there. His parents forced him to volunteer and told him not to come home if he didn't win the system. Christian wanted to keep his parents' respect, even if he didn't want to go into the games, and his superior skills got him easily through the system. During the interview round, he even openly stated that he was Gay, which got a round of applause because it was considered brave to come out in District 4, which was the most old-fashioned in mindset District remaining
District 5 Female: Dam
Age: 17
Sexuality: Straight
Status: Reaped
Odds: 100-1
After the previous year's controversies, Dam was disgraced and shamed by the people of District 5, becoming public enemy number one. It is even theorized that every name in the bowl was her's, due to former Victor, Alvaro swapping the slips the night before. It is also believed that he paid for her odds to be so drastically low in order for her not to get any sponsors
District 5 Male: Seth
Age: 12
Sexuality: Bi
Status: Reaped
Odds: 11-1
Seth is the youngest Trans tribute to ever be reaped...although there have only been 2. Having transitioned age 9, Seth was only the sixth person in his District to successfully transition, given the dodgy hospitals in the District. He even became a local hero. When his name was called at the reaping, the crowd shouted that they needed to re-draw, but that, unfortunately, didn't happen, sending Seth into the games
With the training academies only having opened in District 6, a system couldn't have been held due to no female volunteers, though a basic one was held for the males. This meant the reaping happened normally, and Deandra's name was called. She's very forgettable and really, classic bloodbath filler in action!
5 boys volunteered for the first-ever system in District 6, as the academies had only just opened. Due to not having the budget as other Districts, it was revealed it would take place in a basic bracket, as one of the 5 volunteers was disqualified for turning 19 a day before the system began. Merek had to compete in a basic fight against a boy named Train. This wasn't televised like the career District's systems are, but instead a small event for the families of the volunteers. Merek won by dislocating Train's shoulder, sending him into the final where he fought against the other round's winner. Merek ultimately won this battle too, becoming the first-ever tribute from District 6 to go through a system
-----END OF EPISODE-----
I will do this for the Districts 7-12 tributes next episode!
Based on first impressions, who are you rooting for?
