User blog:The Targaryen of District 4/The 478th Hunger Games

Well, here we are. My first games since my departure. These games will only be a normal games. But knowing me, I always add in a surprise for effect.

For those who don't know me, this is a chance to see what my Games are like.

Backstory
Since Katniss Everdeen's rebellion, there have been several Presidents. The successor of President Paylor shared President Snow's beliefs and re-established The Hunger Games. Riots occurred again, but the rioters had no chance without Katniss, who was nearing death.

Districts 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 all declared war on the Capitol after the re-establishment of The Hunger Games. 1 and 2 sided with the Capitol. 4, 5 and declared themselves neutral.

Everything that Katniss worked for was ruined. When Katniss finally died, Willow and Rye pledged their allegiance towards the districts that had declared war on the Capitol.

But the Capitol laughed off their declaration of war and punished them by taking away more of their necessities and supplies. 400 years later, the war is still taking place. Since the beginning of the war, millions have died in riots and executions. Children have died once again in the survived cycle of the Games.

However, things may be about to change.

Rules

 * 1) No fighting over the deaths of tributes.
 * 2) District 13 and The Capitol included, due to the backstory.
 * 3) There will be 24 tributes, one of the spots will be taken up by me (I will submit a tribute of my own to improve my writing)
 * 4) No reservations. However, if you really need to reserve, I will give you 24 hours. If you do not have the tribute(s) ready by 24 hours, I will give up your reservation(s). You can reserve up to 3 spots.
 * 5) I think it is easier if you send links to your tribute's page on the HGRP wiki, if they have one.
 * 6) Have fun! I'll try and make these Games as action packed as possible.

Chariot Parade Outfits
The stylists of this year's tributes have chosen a theme that they designed their outfits to: ''transformation. ''A common theme amongst the outfits is the transition from simple to a glamorous outfit that represents the industry of the district.

Arena
The arena this year is one of the biggest in the Games' history. This was to attract more viewers whilst

chaos was taking place. There is a mountain range, a castle with hidden secrets and treasures inside, a vast field, a harbour and a forest.

Of course, with the beautiful landscape provided comes dangers. The forest is ridden with various muttations and poisonous plants. Avalanches and blizzards occur regularly at the mountain range, tsunamis at the harbour and the castle is not all it seems.

Arena Outfit
The arena outfit for this year's Games is a puft jacket, button up shirt, leggings, buckle boots and gloves.

The way to tell which district a tribute come from is by the colour of their outfit (for example, you can recognize the District 9 female as her outfit is beige).

Colours are:

The Capitol - white

District 1 - pink

District 2 - silver

District 3 - navy blue

District 4 - light blue

District 5 - yellow

District 6 - brown

District 7 - green

District 8 - purple

District 9 - beige

District 10 - red

District 11 - dark green

District 12 - black

District 13 - grey

POVs
For these Games, I will be writing in the POVs of the tributes and possibly the POV of the host of the Games.

Pre-Reaping (1 POV)
WARNING: Contains swearing.

Ashlynn Mauntell, District 1
"I...love...you"

Lucius, the love of my life. Those were his final words to me as he lay, slowly dying in my arms. He had been shot in the chest by Peacekeepers during a riot. Riots were a rare occurrence here as there was only a small percentage of people in the district that opposed the Capitol. The rest were the Capitol's little puppets for the President to manipulate, young and old.

I'll admit it. I spent most of my early life training at the Careers Academy. But I was never brainwashed into believing their bulls**t. I never done it for the Games. I done it to better myself. To become a stronger person.

I recall that day like it was just yesterday. The rioters arrived at the Square, burning Capitol flags and chanting insults at the Peacekeepers. And then it turned violent. Me and Lucius joined in the riot shortly before it turned ugly. He had helped me to build my confidence and self-esteem because I was a worried wreck after the Peacekeepers declared the start of a district-wide search for me after I escaped to the forest after killing my father, well ex-father, out of rage. He disowned me because I exposed the truth about my twin siblings, Michael and Katelyn. They were f**king each other. I found Lucius, we talked and we fell in love with each other.

We chanted at first but then someone had the courage to throw a brick at the Peacekeepers, prompting them to shoot at us. It took me several minutes to see that Lucius had been shot as I was startled from the gunshots. He collapsed into my arms and whilst the riot was ongoing and surrounding us, life faded from him.

That day, I learned not to trust anyone. And I never will. Ever since, I've wandered the streets alone. I've been trying to think of a plan to get back at those filthy Peacekeepers. I needed to gain enough power to start a company or union. I wouldn't have to worry about members because the majority of the districts opposed the Capitol.

Wait...the Games.

The answer was right there all along! If I win the Games, I could secretly start my own union.

I'm going to volunteer. I'm going to do this for the union and for Lucius.

I love you too Lucius.

Alex Haines, The Capitol Female
Time at beginning of POV: 7:45am

And here we go for the 1,000th time. Reaping time. Most of the people in the Capitol were typically upbeat about the Games, celebrating with feasts and parties before everyone was forced to go to the President's Mansion.

I, on the other hand, was not. I never had an opinion on the Games at first. I didn't like the killings. I only watched to review the strategies of the tributes and see whether these strategies would be helpful or not. But eventually, my parents told me the truth behind the existence of the Games. How it was established as a way of "reminding" people not to mess with The Capitol.

One girl managed to get the Games abolished. Katniss Everdeen. But then some President re-established it.

''If I win this, I will make sure the Games get abolished again and it will stay that way. ''

Currently, I was in my bedroom. My house was not far from the President's Mansion. In fact, I had a view of the Mansion from the only window that was in my bedroom.

I was at the mirror, brushing my long and thick black hair. I was wearing my favourite teal shirt, denim jeans and black sneakers.

After I felt like my hair was straight enough, I put my hairbrush down and left the bedroom. I remembered to close the door before making my way down the staircase.

My parents were not here. They were more or likely at work. There was half an hour left until work finished. After work, they'd have to rush home to get changed in preparation for the reapings. And this was why I decided to shut the door instead of lock it.

Oh well, there's a possibility that I may not be coming back home.

Like always, the skies were pastel blue and the clouds looked like cotton candy. The sun was literally just a white ball of cold heat in the mornings.

And most of the citizens
