OKAY SO DESPITE A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN THE PAINTER FANDOM HAVE READ OR WATCHED THE MOVIES, SOME OF YOU HAVEN'T SO HERE IS A MINI DICTIONARY FOR TERMS
DISTRICTS ARE BASICALLY THE DIFFERENT AREAS WHERE THE CHARACTERS LIVE. THERES 13 (DISTRICT 13 WAS BELIEVED TO BE DESTROYED BUT WASN'T REALLY), AND THE PURPOSES ARE (IN ORDER), LUXURY, MASONRY/WEAPONRY, TECH, FISHING, ENERGY, TRANSPORT, LUMBER, FABRICS, GRAIN, LIVESTOCK, AGRICULTURE, COAL MINING AND NUCLEAR ENERGY/MILITARY WEAPONS.
THE CAPITOL IS THE BIG CITY OF PANEM (THE COUNTRY THAT THG TAKES PLACE IN) WHERE ALL THE RICH PEOPLE LIVE AND IS ESSENTIALLY IT'S FASHION CENTRE. THIS IS ALSO WHERE THE TRIBUTES IN THE GAMES GO TO PREPARE.
THE REAPING IS ON JULY 4TH EVERY YEAR AND SELECTS A BOY AND A GIRL FROM EACH DISTRICT, THEN THE GO TO THE CAPITOL FOR A WEEK TO TRAIN, BE INTERVIEWED AND PREPARE.
TESSARAE ARE BASICALLY BARRELS OF GRAIN AND OIL YOU CAN GET FOR YOUR FAMILY IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH, BUT EVERY TESSERA YOU TAKE GIVES YOU ANOTHER ENTRY FOR THE REAPING
PEACEKEEPERS ARE COPS AND MILITARY PEOPLE
MUTTS ARE ANIMALS (BOTH IN AND OUT OF THE GAMES) THAT ARE BRED FOR A CERTAIN PURPOSE OR ARE HYBRIDS OF OTHER MUTTS (KILLER SQUIRRELS, MOCKINGJAYS, GIANT PORCUPINES, ETC.)
THE COVEY ARE MUSICAL NOMADS THAT USED TO TO TRAVEL ACROSS PANEM BUT WERE TRAPPED IN 12 AND EXTERMINATED ONE BY ONE (THOUGH A FEW SURVIVED)
THE HOB IS A BUILDING IN 12 THAT'S A MARKETPLACE/USED TO BE WHERE THE COVEY PERFORMED.
THE VICTOR OF THE GAMES GETS SENT BACK TO THEIR DISTRICT WITH MONEY, FAME, A NEW HOME AND A VICTORY TOUR ACROSS PANEM AROUND 6 MONTHS LATER (AT LEAST AFTER THE 10TH GAME)
GAMEMAKERS CONTROL EVERYTHING BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE GAMES (SUMMONING MUTTS, EVENTS, CORNUCOPIA EQUIPMENT, ETC.) THE HUNGER GAMES IS REALITY TV IN PANEM SO THIS IS HOW THE "MAGIC" HAPPENS.
IF A VICTOR IS "SOLD" TO THE CAPITOL, THEY'RE FORCED TO "PLEASE" THE CAPITOL PEOPLE WHO WANT THEM AROUND. IF THEY DECLINE, THEIR FAMILY GETS THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.
AVOXES ARE SERVANTS WHO USED TO BE CRIMINALS IN PANEM. THEIR TONGUES ARE CUT OFF AND THEY'RE USED BOTH IN GAME PREPERATIONS AND IN DAILY CAPITOL LIFE.
I don't think I missed anything(?) so yeah now yall are ready to watch the odds not be in anyone's favor for SHIT.
