Julia Aquilla

District Two

"Do your best. Second place is literally not an option."

Name: Julia Aquilla
Volunteered
Victor of the Eighty-First HG at age Eighteen
Current Age: 28
Weapon Used: Roman Short Sword
Kill Count: 6
Status: Alive
Successful Tributes: None

After winning her games, she was promoted to Commander and Chief of security in the Capitol because she is loyal to the Capitol; that and the President adores her. She likes control and order but believes that brutality and excessive violence is not the way to do it. As such, she often speaks freely and clash with the President but due to her high rank within the Capitol she is respected by him. She has an intense hatred for her brother, Kaiser, because he left District Two after winning his games for District One. She clearly thought that this was an act of betrayal and he was hated by her ever since. Ever since that incident, she returned to being a mentor in order to stop potential defectors.

Arena Description:
Tundra wilderness, during the mornings the weather is pleasant and is often sunny. There aren't much places to hide within this arena. During the night, however, the weather changes drastically; blizzards happen frequently. Sometimes hailstones fall during the day at a fast rate. Gamemaker Mutts involves monstrous bears and moose.

How She Won:
Before volunteering for the Hunger Games, Julia had been training as a Peacekeeper. She used the skills she got from that training to her advantage, applying guerilla tactics to every tribute she encountered. She decided to go solo and fended for herself. She had managed to kill a few tributes, most of which included the Careers; using her sword as well as hand to hand combat. When she was about to look for the last tribute she heard a cannon shot from within the arena, it was a District Six boy that had clearly committed suicide.

Arthur Graff

District One

"Now, now let's not make any rash decisions."

Name: Arthur Graff
Volunteered
Victor of the Eighty-Second HG at age Eighteen
Current Age: 27
Weapon Used: Spears and Sword
Kill Count: 6
Status: Alive
Successful Tributes: None

Being the only victor for District One, Arthur continues to mentor his tributes but not being able to actually produce victors. Despite this Arthur remains confident about his tributes. However, he is naive and falls prey to the simplest of things. Arthur also has a temper if push comes to shove and will lash out quite violently. Although he was the leader of his career pack in the games, Arthur isn't the self-obsessed career type that others come to associate him with. Kaiser's methods of teaching slightly worries him.

Arena Description:
Roman Coliseum with underground tunnels and each leading to rooms that contains areas such as river valley, temples and jungles. As the time goes on, each of these landscapes become blocked eventually leading the remaining tributes to an Aztec like temple landscape.

How He Won:
Followed the standard career pack, working together to hunt other tributes early on in the games. He was chosen as leader and he handled the pack well; he designated teams as well as areas for each of them to go hunt in. After returning from killing one or two tributes, he returned above ground in the coliseum where he heard cannons, thinking little of it he got back to the camp and found that the District Two boy had killed everyone in the alliance. He got angry at the boy and they clashed their weapons. He quickly finished him off to get revenge for his allies. He ended up wandering the arena, not encountering any of the other tributes. It's been days later when the Gamemakers decided to hold a feast in one of landscapes; the golden aztec temple with the supplies on top of the temple. As he made his way towards it several cannons can be heard and when he arrived he found that the District Ten boy had killed each and everyone of the remaining tributes. He was currently waiting for him at the top. Arthur quickly ascended the stairs, avoiding the arrows that were fired towards him. He reached the top in no time knocking the boy to the ground. He looked on as the Ten boy started crying, he pulled out his sword and plunged it deep into the boy's stomach.

Aqua Chambers

District Four

"You're pathetic, you know that?"

Name: Aqua Chambers 
Volunteered
Victor of the Eighty-Third HG at age Sixteen 
Current Age: 24
Weapon Used: Glaive and Knives
Kill Count: 5
Status: Alive
Successful Tributes: Christopher Arlyn

Cold, heartless and blunt; just some of the words used by other victors to describe Aqua. She doesn't care about it though and would rather be called those names than anything at all. Her hair was dyed a blue colour during her time as a tribute and she preferred it like this. Despite being Kip's mentor, she heavily disliked his personality and can be seen either punching him or shouting at him during his time as a tribute. The aggression only increased when he won, which shocked Aqua as she thought he was done for when he got kicked out of the careers.

Arena Description:
Desert but intersected by a glacier. The glacier was triggered to melt at a fast rate as the Games drag on. This ended up flooding the arena and cause waves when bits of the glacier fell into the water.

How She Won:
The second week was closing in and by this point the water has reached everyone's knees making it harder to traverse the now wet sand. There were, including her, four tributes left and Aqua was nearing her fourth kill when a piece of the glacier fell into the water creating a giant wave, it washed away the tribute she was pursuing then later drowned. Aqua, frustrated, went back to the her now submerged camp finding that someone had ransacked it. There was blood floating around the waters and was surprised when an arrow comes whizzing past her shoulder. She turned around to find the District Five girl, another arrow ready on her crossbow, aimed right at her. As she fired, Aqua dodged the arrows whilst simultaneously throwing knives at the Five girl, who also dodged them as if she was trained to do it. She was about to shoot again when she was suddenly pulled down into the water. Aqua thought it was a Gamemaker trap but once she saw who it was she was more scared than ever. The person that dragged the Five girl down was the District Two boy, he stood up and pushed the Five girl's head into the water keeping it there until she drowned and the cannon echoing throughout the arena. He then turned to her, his tired expression showing that he has had enough. Aqua knew that it was just him and her left. She began by throwing knives at the boy but it didn't seem to affect him at all. He lunged towards her with speed and Aqua was left to defend herself with her Glaive. Once she gained her footing within the water and sand she continued to slash at the Two boy but to no avail. She looked around and found the crossbow still loaded with a bolt. She picked it up and aimed it at the boy's head who laughed. She rushed towards him before firing, she missed with the crossbow but she had a hidden knife from her sleeve and then stabbed the boy in the heart whilst he was distracted.

Farrina Wheatley

District Nine

"What's the point of training tributes when all they're going to do is die?"

Name: Farrina Wheatley
Reaped
Victor of the Eighty-Fourth HG at age Fifteen
Current Age: 22
Weapon Used: Sickle
Kill Count: 2
Status: Alive
Successful Tributes: None

Regarded as the quiet victor from Nine, Farrina spends most of her days by herself. Her parents have long since died from sickness and she was an only child. Her experience in the games really scarred her mind. She would often space out and not pay any attention to her surroundings. However, she is smart and cunning. She doesn't give out much advice as she too had given up on training tributes to win the games.

Arena Description:
A forested area with no clearing other than the Cornucopia. Climbing trees are best around here and the main features in this arena is the constant fog that appears every morning as well as larger sinkholes appearing every two or so days.

How She Won:
Farrina joined an alliance that consists of about four people. They remained an alliance for quite a while until one of the tributes, the District Six boy decided that it was time to split up. Having killed a tribute during the bloodbath, Farrina was still shaken up about it. She reluctantly agreed to the splitting of the alliance and ended up close to the Cornucopia, after avoiding a quick death by sinkhole. She lasted till the final three where they were dragged to the only stable ground there was, the Cornucopia. When she got to the forest clearing she immediately heard the cannon shot seeing the male tribute from Six kill the One male. She was scared now that it was only down to her and her previous ally. However, the boy didn't show mercy and attacked her straight away. Farrina gained a few cuts and bruises, she thought she was going to die as she fled towards the centre of the Cornucopia. Then she remembered about her sickle and started to attack back. She managed to use it well, being from the grain district. She fought back, ignoring the injuries and noticed that the boy tripped on some boxes. She took her chance then sliding the sickle around his neck before pulling it, decapitating him in the process.

Quanta Logie

District Three

"Use your wits, think things through. Don't die."

Name: Quanta Logie
Reaped
Victor of the Eighty-Fifth HG at age Eighteen
Current Age: 24
Weapon Used: Traps and Knives
Kill Count: 4
Status: Alive
Successful Tributes: None

Not a true believer of the Hunger Games but she continues to mentor in fear that something bad might happen to her. She acts supportive towards her tributes and will often teach them a few things as well. She can be bossy at times and will scold her tributes for the simplest of mistakes. During her time in the games she didn't listen to Cabel's advice but she did thank him for them. She has also been forced to go on a diet by the Capitol to look presentable, she used to be really thin and pale but now she's more slim and have a fair complexion.

Arena Description:
Fairground complete with working rides and tons of food. No wild animals, just modified mutts. Tributes had to eat via food stalls, which made them unhealthy unless they were sponsored via sponsor gifts. The fairground is nice during the day but is nightmarish at night.

How She Won:
Ten people died during the initial bloodbath which Quanta survived in. She hid within the big top for a couple of days listening to cannons and avoiding the muttations within the large tent. It was a form of circus acts where the clowns and animals come after you. She managed to avoid them throughout this time by using the copper wires and the metallic knives she received as a sponsor. The way she used them was she attached them to the ride's machinery dismantling them to create a live wire trap with the wires. Most of the mutts and some tributes that had managed to wander in the tent died from the live wires. It was a couple of days later where the final battle began, it was just her and the District Seven male left. She ran towards the merry-go-round and hid amongst the horses. Whilst she was doing that she was tying the copper wires to the knives. When he appeared she immediately threw them all at him, most missing and one hitting his stomach. She took the wire attached to the knife and ran towards the machinery of the merry-go-round. She had timed it perfectly, she attached the electric wires and waited for when the fairground rides started. By the time they did start the boy had pulled out the knife but not before being electrocuted making Quanta the victor.

Christopher Arlyn

District Four

"I didn't get kicked out of the careers! I left...willingly..."

Name: Christopher 'Kip' Arlyn
Volunteered
Victor of the Eighty-Sixth HG at age Eighteen
Current Age: 23
Weapon Used: Trident and Nets
Kill Count: 6
Status: Alive
Successful Tributes: None

Happy-go-lucky in nature, Kip volunteered for the Hunger Games because it was his father's wishes. He did stand a chance against the other careers, he was just too positive for life. It's as if the Games didn't affect him at all but it did. Throughout his time in the arena he had constantly battled with himself every time he was preparing to kill someone. He regrets everything that he had done especially to his district partner. Whenever he sees her family the guilt wraps him up and begins to have a panic attack. Despite this he hides his emotion well through smiles and laughs, as well as the odd joke or two. 

Arena Description:
 A large volcano with surrounding jungle scenery. The tributes began at the top of the volcano and have to traverse a wooden suspension bridge to get to the Cornucopia in the middle of the volcano.

How He Won:
Kicked out of the careers by the District One boy during the second day, a unanimous decision by the rest of the pack, even his district partner disliked him. The One boy gave him time to leave when they were paired out hunting; Kip thought it was quite nice of him, so he left staying positive that he'll survive. He decided that the best tactic was to hide and he found himself a nice cavern near the volcano using the net, that he was sponsored, as a trap mechanism. He managed to trap some tributes with the net, surprisingly; he killed them after uttering apologies. He stayed within this cavern until the volcano started to show signs of eruption. Just managing to get out in the nick of time as the volcano erupted Kip ran into the jungle, with his nets and trident, but was intercepted by his district partner. They were the only tributes left after she confessed to killing the rest of the career pack, her mental state had degraded and she was covered in blood. She lunged ahead first but Kip had managed to get out of the way and ran away from her, he didn't want to kill his own district partner. She chased after him and Kip had the idea of throwing his net at her in hopes of trapping her. Thinking it was a stupid idea he threw it anyway and to his surprise it worked. He stopped running, turning around he readied his aim with the trident before throwing it with all his might managing to pierce her chest and ultimately killing her.

Warren Quark

District Five

"Remember, keep a level head. Don't end up like me."

Name: Warren Quark
Reaped
Victor of the Eight-Seventh HG at age Eighteen
Current Age: 22
Weapon Used: Broadsword
Kill Count: 5
Status: Alive
Successful Tributes: None

A very quiet individual, Warren grew up without the help of his parents but loved his two siblings: Proto and Neut. When his parents died from unknown circumstances, the two brothers began to live with Warren and therefore relatively safe from the Hunger Games. Mostly silent when others interact with him, he will only speak to you when spoken to. He is good natured and will not talk about people behind their backs. He isn't 'smart' like most people from District Five. His brothers are both aged Twelve.

Arena Description:
Small village that is surrounded by woodlands and mountains. The mountains are prone to avalanches and sometimes floods the arena with snow making it difficult to traverse.

How He Won:
He grabbed a backpack and the broadsword closer to the Cornucopia during the bloodbath, it was filled with supplies that can last him for days. He hid in one of the houses along with his allies, and fought other tributes when it was absolutely necessary. He protected his allies and didn't worry about himself. He was outraged when he returned from a food hunt and found that they were ambushed and killed, he disregarded the cannons as his allies because he thought they were relatively safe from harm. He went on a rampage and started looking for the people that ambushed his allies, which was coincidentally the Career pack. He had managed to confront them killing both the District One boy and the District Four girl. He left the other three as he went back to recuperate. There was another cannon shot a few days later and that night found out it wasn't one of the careers. They were now down to the final four. He headed out, looking for them. He traversed the thick icy snow until he found the three careers. He moved quickly, slicing two of the three with his broadsword before killing the other with his bare fists.
