Welcome to the 94th Hunger Games! May the odds be ever in your favor...
Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. You could be chosen and forced to represent your District in The Hunger games. But you have been close to death before- and the same goes for survival.

District 1
District 1 makes special goods (luxury items) for the Capitol. It appears that all the people from District 1 are named for an attribute of some luxury item. Children there take pride in competing in the Games, and are among the group of tributes nicknamed "Careers", who train for the Games (illegally) from a young age and then volunteer to compete. Once the Games begin, the tributes from the Careers districts (including, Districts 1, 2, 4, and occasionally other districts as exceptions) tend to band together until they are forced to fight among themselves, and a disproportionate number of Hunger Games winners are Careers.
In the first book, the tributes from District 1, Marvel and Glimmer, were somewhat important to the story. Katniss was responsible for the death of both Glimmer and Marvel; she dropped a tracker jacker nest on the pack of Careers that included Glimmer, killing her. She was also responsible for the death of Marvel; she shot an arrow through his neck after he speared and killed Rue. In the second book, Cashmere and Gloss were the District 1 tributes. They contributed to the death of Wiress. They were killed by Katniss and Johanna Mason.
District 2
District 2 is a large district set in the Rocky Mountains not far from the Capitol itself. District 2 specializes in masonry, the district is made up of many small villages, each based around a mine. In the midst of District 2 is a central mountain (referred to as "The Nut" by Katniss) which contains the command and control apparatus for the Capitol's defenses. Originally District 2 specialized only in mining and stone cutting, but after the Dark Days war it was also tasked with production of weapons. Officially, District 2 is in charge of masonry, but, as was revealed in Mockingjay, they specialize in training peacekeepers for The Capitols army.
During the Dark Days, District 2 was the Capitol's staunchest ally and after that rebellion was over, it received preferential treatment from the Capitol. Its citizens have better living conditions.
In the third book, during the second rebellion, District 2 once again supported the Capitol and was the last district to fall to the rebels. It was one of the few districts whose citizens did not attempt to revolt against the Capitol. Many of the Peacekeepers and a disproportionate number of Victors have come from District 2.
District 2 tributes are known as Careers because they begin training for the games before they are even eligible to enter the drawing. Those who represent 2 in the Games are often volunteers. In the 74th Hunger Games, District 2's tributes, Cato and Clove, were formidable opponents. Clove was the only one who ever came really close to killing Katniss, and Cato was the final tribute to be defeated. In the 75th Games District 2's tributes were Brutus and Enobaria.
District 3
District 3 specializes in electronics. Most of its inhabitants work in factories and are very adept with engineering. Some people think of District 3 as weak, but their intelligence provides many benefits. Its tributes tend to use this to their advantage. In the 74th Hunger Games, the District 3 tribute managed to create a mine field cobbled together from the starting plates. One of the previous victors to come from District 3, Beetee, won his games by setting a trap that electrocuted many of the other tributes. He was chosen as a Victor to compete in the 75th Hunger Games, where he attempted to use the wire that came from the Cornucopia to destroy the force field surrounding the arena using the lightning that came in a certain hour. It was Katniss, however, who finished the job before being collected by the hovercraft. Their district bread is a small, square roll. The other Victor chosen to compete in the 75th Hunger Games was a woman named Wiress. She and Beetee were commonly known as "Nuts and Volts" because they are considered strange. Wiress's throat was slit by Gloss, a District 1 tribute in the 75th Hunger Games.
District 4
District 4 fishes for the Capitol, and is another wealthy district from which Careers hail. In the 74th Hunger games, Katniss kills the girl from 4 by dropping a Tracker Jacker nest on her. Katniss finds important allies in the 75th Hunger Games in the Victors from District 4, Mags and Finnick. Mags was an elderly woman and could make a fishing hook "out of anything," and Finnick's weapon of choice is a trident. Mags was Finnick's mentor in the Hunger Games. Annie Cresta, who later becomes Finnick's wife, also comes from District 4 and is a Victor who won by her swimming skill. It is said that District 4 has the most "decent-looking" people. Its bread is a salty, fish-shaped loaf tinted green by seaweed.
District 5
District 5's industry is power.[4] The girl tribute from District 5 in the 74th Hunger Games is known as "Foxface" because she looks similar to a fox, with a slim face and sleek red hair; her real name is never mentioned. She was one of the last to die because she was very clever. No description or name was given to the boy from District 5, except he was one of the eleven that died on the first day. In the 75th Hunger Games, Finnick killed the male tribute with his trident at the Cornucopia on the first day.
District 6
District 6's industry is transportation. Not much else is known about this district other than both tributes in the 75th Games protected Katniss and Peeta. They were both addicted to "morphling" a morphine-like pain relief medication, the book suggesting that morphling addiction may have been a district-wide issue. During the 74th Hunger Games both male and female tributes were killed during the first day.
District 7
District 7 specializes in lumber and paper. One of Katniss' allies in the 75th Hunger Games was Johanna Mason, who was very good with an axe. Apparently a large portion of District 7's forest is pine, as Johanna comments that pine needles "smell like home."
District 8
District 8 specializes in textiles and has at least one factory where Peacekeeper uniforms are made. Two people from District 8, Bonnie and Twill, escaped during one of the uprisings and informed Katniss of the theory that District 13 still existed. It is implied that security is strict in 8, and the citizens are desperate for hope. District 8 was also one of the first districts to rebel, as Katniss saw on Mayor Undersee's television. In the third book, Katniss visits a hospital in District 8, which is later bombed by the Capitol. The leader of District 8, Paylor, becomes President of Panem after President Snow has died and Katniss has killed President Coin. Even before she became president, Paylor's soldiers were apparently loyal to her, ignoring Coin's orders when she commanded. None of District 8's Tributes are mentioned much in the 74th and 75th Hunger Games other than Peeta finished off the female tribute in the 74th Hunger Games.
District 9
The industry of District 9 is grain. It is mentioned once that District 9 has many factories. The District 9 boy tribute in the 74th Hunger Games is described as having hazel eyes, but whether that is a trait of his region is not stated. He died in the bloodbath after fighting with Katniss over a backpack when he was knifed in the back by Clove, the District 2 tribute.
District 10
District 10 specializes in livestock. Katniss meets a man named Dalton when she arrives in District 13, who is a District 10 cattle farmer. His task is to implant frozen cow embryos to increase the diversity of the herd. He seems cynical, and is distrustful of District 13. Katniss does not note any major tributes from District 10, except one boy with a crippled leg who is mentioned several times. At the 75th Hunger Games, Katniss notes that the District 10 tributes, who are dressed as cows, have flaming belts on as if they are broiling themselves, in poor imitation of Cinna's techniques to showcase Katniss at the Games.
District 11
District 11 specializes in agriculture. It is located somewhere in the south and is very large. The people are housed in small shacks and there is a harsh force of Peacekeepers. Common traits are dark skin and brown eyes. According to Rue, many tracker jacker nests were left there, leading the workers to keep medicinal leaves on hand. In the orchards small children were sent into the branches to pick the highest fruit. Sometimes during the height of the harvest they were given night-vision goggles to allow them to work after dark. The district also contained fields of grain and vegetables. The inhabitants apparently had extensive knowledge of herbs.
Thresh and Rue are the tributes from District 11 for the 74th Hunger Games and play important roles. Rue was Katniss's ally and one of her best friends in the arena. She was good at hopping from tree to tree, but was tragically killed by District 1's Marvel. Thresh was a powerful contestant who Katniss admired for his pride and refusal to join the Careers. Thresh saved Katniss from Clove, whom he killed with a rock, and spared her because of her friendship with Rue. While the novel is not clear as to the circumstances regarding his death, it is implied Thresh was killed by Cato. The District 11 tributes for the 75th Hunger Games are Chaff and Seeder, both of whom know of the rebellion.
District 12
District 12 mines coal for the Capitol. Katniss, Peeta, and other major characters come from District 12. It is located in the Appalachian Mountains, and the district itself is split into two areas housing two distinct social classes. "The Seam" is a slum where those who work in the coal mines live, whereas the mercantile class lives in the town. Both classes are easy to distinguish physically: those from the Seam generally have dark hair, grey eyes and olive skin, and those from merchant families usually have blond hair and blue eyes.
District 12 is very poor, and starvation is a major issue for the citizens. Due to the lack of food, the local Capitol authority figures — the Mayor and Peacekeepers — often bend the extremely strict Panem laws. The fence surrounding the district and preventing access to the woods is often not electrified, and Katniss and her friend Gale often hunt there for food for their families or to raise money by selling their catches in the local black market. The black market, located at an old coal warehouse named the Hob, was where many of the citizens made their money. The Hob was destroyed by the Peacekeepers in Catching Fire. This was followed by the bombing of the whole district after the escape of the tributes during the 75th Hunger Games. However, Gale managed to evacuate about 10% of the population—"a little under 900 people"—to District 13.[5]
Muttations
Muttations, usually shortened to "mutts," is the term for genetically altered animals bred in the Capitol.
Jabberjays
Jabberjays are small black birds with a crest that were bred during the Dark Days in the Capitol's lab.[9] They were engineered to be able to remember human conversations and repeat them back verbatim with human voices. They were used to spy on the rebels in a form the rebels would never expect. Figuring this out, the rebels fed lies to the jabberjays, and they were abandoned by the Capitol and left in the wilderness to die. Because the jabberjays were bred to be male, it was thought that they would die off in the wild, however, when released they bred with female mockingbirds and created the species "mockingjay". They no longer have the capability of human speech, but they can repeat back songs that they hear humans utter.
During the third Quarter Quell, one of the hours in the clock-like arena featured jabberjays that voice the screams of tributes' loved ones, such as Katniss's sister, Prim, Gale (Katniss's hunting partner), and Finnick's love, Annie Cresta.
Tracker Jackers
The tracker jackers are genetically altered wasps created in the Capitol during the Dark Days. Disturbing the nest causes them to chase after the offender, and the stings bring on hallucinations and extreme pain and also cause the swarm to follow, or track, him or her. The venom can also be used to brainwash someone in a technique called "hijacking", in which memories being focused on while the venom is introduced into the victim's system can cause them to become distorted and make them begin to think along the lines the Capitol torturers wish. Katniss drops a tracker jacker nest on several tributes during her first Hunger Games, and causing the death of two: Glimmer, the girl from District 1 and the un-named girl from District 4. Katniss and several other tributes are stung and hallucinate briefly after the attack. In Mockingjay, Peeta is hijacked using tracker jacker venom and "re-programmed" to abhor and want to kill Katniss. Peeta eventually begins to sort through his memories and notes the ones that may have been altered by the venom as being "shiny".
Wolf Mutts
Wolf mutts appeared at the end of the 74th Hunger Games to herd Katniss, Peeta, and Cato into a final fight. Eventually they mutilated and tortured Cato so badly that Katniss is forced to shoot him out of mercy. The wolf-like creatures mimicked the 21 dead tributes, particularly in fur and eye color, but also with tags which match the tributes' district numbers. One wolf Katniss identifies as Rue, and others as Glimmer, Foxface, and Thresh.
Rose-Scented Reptile Human Muttations
These mutts are seen in Mockingjay in the underground tunnels of the Capitol, supposedly created especially to hunt Katniss down; they are the only breed seen in the books hissing her name. They are described as having tight, white skin, long sharp claws and teeth, and are also a mixture of lizards and humans. They also smell of roses, thought to be so because Katniss hates the smell of the Capitol's altered roses, due to their association with President Snow. They can jump extremely far and decapitate with a bite to the neck. Finnick and several of Katniss' other troop members were killed trying to protect Katniss, but Katniss herself, as well as Peeta, Gale, and a few others make it out of the tunnel. Katniss has the Holo device self-destruct by repeating 'nightlock' three times, and then throws it into the underground tunnel to kill the mutts.
Monkey Mutts
There were also muttation monkeys with switchblade claws and orange fur that would attack during the 4th hour of the "clock" in the 75th Games. They also have large, fang-like teeth. They attacked at the tributes in packs when Peeta glanced up at them in the 75th Hunger Games, but the woman victor from 6, or 'female morphling', as Katniss calls her, jumps in front of Peeta to save his life, as she was part of the alliance formed to defend Katniss and Peeta at all costs.
Other Mutts
In the 50th Hunger Games, several other muttations are mentioned. These include highly poisonous butterflies with stingers, "carnivorous fluffy golden squirrels", and candy-pink birds with bladelike beaks. The candy birds killed Maysilee Donner during the 50th Hunger Games not long after she and Haymitch ended their alliance. During the third Quarter Quell (75th Hunger Games), an unknown beast occupies the six-to-seven-o'clock zone. The beast dismembers a tribute and the hover craft has to come back five times to collect all the pieces.
Mockingjays
Instead of the Jabberjays dying off like the Capitol intended, they mated with female mockingbirds and created a unique species, called a Mockingjay. They reproduced, and Mockingjays became "as rare and tough as rocks," as Katniss stated in Catching Fire. They lost the Jabberjay's ability to enunciate words, but are halfway between Jabberjays and actual mockingbirds — they can perfectly copy, down to the last note, any human tune. If a singer with a voice the Mockingjays respect sings, they will fall silent, a fact both Katniss and Peeta note several times throughout the series. Katniss, her father, and Rue are examples to Mockingjays to fall silent, as mentioned in Mockingjay and The Hunger Games. District 11 is known to have an especially large Mockingjay population, as confirmed by deceased District 11 tribute Rue.
Mockingjays have a certain level of symbolism in Panem. That is, the Capitol did not desire these birds to come out the way they did, therefore it is a symbol of rebellion, due to its undesirable effect. At the beginning of The Hunger Games, Katniss was given a Mockingjay pin by Madge Undersee. She recognized this not immediately but while she was waiting for guests to say their 'final' goodbyes before going into the arena, and said that it was a huge "slap in the face" to the Capitol, because Mockingjays were never intended to exist. Katniss wears the pin as her token in the Games, and by Catching Fire it becomes a symbol of rebellion. In Mockingjay, Katniss becomes the titular character, a person who speaks to the districts for the rebels, and she wears a Mockingjay-inspired costume and the pin. This shows what Katniss truly became due to the Hunger Games: a person that the Capitol never intended to create and ended up destroying them once and for all.
Nightlock
Nightlock is a wild berry plant that Katniss first heard of from her father. He warned her that the consumer would be dead before the juice reached his/her stomach. Nightlock becomes a major plot device in The Hunger Games, and is first shown as the berries Peeta has gathered. Katniss doesn't know he has picked them but luckily he has not eaten any before one of the remaining tributes, District 5's "Foxface" (as Katniss calls her), steals them, eats them, and dies. Katniss and Peeta take some with them just in case, and they are needed once more at the climax of the novel, where the previously-instated rule of a district's two tributes being allowed to win together is revoked. Instead of battling each other, Katniss suggests that they eat the berries and both die at the same time in hopes that the Gamemakers will change their minds and allow both of them to live. It works and they are both announced as winners before they swallow because the Capitol would rather have two winners than none (this would ruin the Hunger Games if no one survived). In Catching Fire it is learned that the Head Gamemaker of the 74th Hunger Games, Seneca Crane, was executed as a result of not condemning Katniss to death the instant she designed the stunt with the berries that defies the purpose of the Hunger Games.
The nightlock name takes on a symbolic role in Mockingjay in two ways. First, Katniss and her companions are given pills called nightlock, which are euthanasia pills located in pouches at their shoulders. In the event of capture, rebels are supposed to kill themselves in order to avoid torture or interrogation. Katniss tries to take one after she assassinates President Coin, but Peeta stops her and it is destroyed by a guard's boot before she can use it.
Secondly, a voice-controlled device called the Holo, a holographic map of the Capitol and its death traps ("pods") used by the military of District 13, can be made to self-destruct anytime when the user says the word "nightlock" three times in a row.
The plant nightlock may have some resemblance to and likely takes its name from the real plants nightshade and hemlock, both of which are deadly poisons.
Unnamed Tracker Jacker Venom Absorbing Plant
In the 74th Hunger Games, Rue uses them to treat the various Tracker Jacker stings on Katniss. Katniss attempts to draw out infection from Peeta's wound with these as well.

I hate having 43 pages of pointless/dead roleplays and things. And I've let it sit inactive for a while, so it is kind of pointless. I'm hopefully going to have the same username, so come friend me! :"D
