I sent an ask rambling to you about a made up hunger games district but idk if it went through so!!

district 17, the clothing (and cows milk) district, consisting of a giant lush landscape with cow and sheep pens within. this district has 2 jobs, farmers and tailors, a childs job is basically chosen for them based off their physical strength, weaker children are pressured into being tailors and stronger ones are pressured into becoming farmers.

The people of this district cannot live with their parents past 18, and are expected to have a job by then—otherwise facing homelessness—they can choose to be apprenticed before this time, but cannot choose their job if they do so.

if a tailors—or a child expected to become a tailors—name is pulled to participate in the hunger games, a 18 year old farmer is expected to volunteer in their place, this can apply to young children but is forced upon the farmers much less.

This district is “neutral” on the capitol, truly just hiding the hatred that is deeply rooted within them.

theres 2 main characters in the storyline that this district follows, Roy, a 16 year old tailors apprentice who comes from a farmer’s family, desperate to prove himself after failing the strength test, he volunteers as a last resort. Roy never intended to volunteer at 16, 18 was his goal, but a 13 year old farmers apprentice he knew was called up, and suddenly he was shouting “I volunteer” before he even knew it. His weapon in the arena would be throwing knives, stalking in the shadows until the person he desired to kill was alone, retrieving the knife and running before anyone could spot him or the dead body. The capitol is heavily mixed on him, some were incredibly excited to finally get a tailors apprentice in the arena, and for him to hate his job was a huge disappointment to them, and others, who adore him for his dedication. Roy, admittedly, hates getting sponsors, as useful as some materials can be, they can reveal where he’s hiding, and have nearly gotten him caught more then once.

Selina, whose nickname is Citrus, was picked after Roy, being barely 14, and yet still ambiguous enough in her strength, nobody volunteered for her. Citrus hated the idea of being a farmer or tailor, spending her time studying the plants in the area, discovering which ones were poisonous and which ones were safe. Once she was within the capitol, other tributes started noticing her ability to identify plants, and with how nice she seemed, decided that they could use her to stay safe from any dangerous flora. Citrus used this trust placed in her to betray others, tricking them into believing that poisonous plants were safe, and doing the opposite to safe plants, effectively starving them of food they couldn’t catch until she decided that it was their time to go. The capitol adores Citrus, she is adorable, her genuine belief that she could win generates sympathy and support all throughout the Capitol. Sponsors—to her—are great, a useful tool provided by others who believe in her.

The Classes + Fanmade Districts

The Working Population

The Working Population is the average citizen in the Capitol, taking up the well majority of the population. it is technically the middle class by our standards, but in the Capitol it is the lower class since doctors, pilots, and architects and stuff are middle class only

so, though most of the hard labour and work are given to the Districts, there are jobs that the Districts can't serve to the Elite directly in the Capitol (like cooks, cleaners, drivers). of course, a good amount of these jobs are taken by avox, but there isn't possibly enough war criminals/caught runaways to serve the entire Elite population

plus, avox are really only owned and work for very rich and high above people, like the richest of the rich, and game staff. Snow honestly wanted to be a bit more of an asshole so instead of having Working Population servants he made sure that avox would be the only ones serving the tributes and Victors

jobs that the can Working Population cover are: teachers, maids, cooks, cleaners, babysitters, cleaners, basically most jobs where they work for a specific person/family/group of people

and, before the Hunger Games era, like way before, a few decades after Panem's creation there were more districts (literally self indulging from my fanmade Districts au). and a good amount of them joined the Capitol

Fanmade Districts (that disbanded and spread)

District 14: medicine. doctors, nurses, and medical scientists were all trained here and experiment in labs for new types of drugs/equipment/medicine that can be used for people. there is also the biggest hospital in Panem there, and there are factories that mass produce medicinal supplies like basic equipment and some drugs. this District was so incredibly loyal (rich and very important as well) to the Capitol they eventually joined in and became a sub-class

District 15: plastic/rubber production. basically factories that would mass produce these materials. all kinds of plastics and all kinds of rubber (plus in the future they make more biodegradable types of plastic). eventually, these factories were included in District 1 territory and joined them, becoming their lower class

District 16: tool production. basically blacksmiths who make axes, pickaxes, knives, hammers, scythes, machetes, and all other types of tools that would be used in other Districts. eventually this was moved to be mostly District 2's job, but there are still small groups of blacksmiths across all Districts that require such tools

District 17: animals. basically exotic animals and mutts. since in the future, there are many animals that naturally went through evolution, there are many useful but dangerous animals. this District basically took them, got stuff that benefited them such as, more healthy/nutrient full meat, harder and more powerful bones for good weapons/furniture, blood and poisons for medicine, etc. this eventually became another sub-class in the Capitol

District 18: research. this District was formed pretty later, like a lot later. this was more of historic research and entertaining scientific research, nothing that would really benefit the Capitol or Panem, but it was interesting (yeah, there's zodiac scientists and etymology nerds). this District was even smaller than 12, and was kind of useless. the Capitol liked them though so they let them join, they joined either Elite class or Working Population though

District 19: food. y'know those frozen foods you keep in your freezer and then warm up in a microwave? or cup ramen you just boil with water. most of those foods are probably made in factories, and that's what this District was for. there's also cheese factories and other factories for cleaning, cooking, and sanitizing foods. eventually, this job was spread out evenly throughout Districts 3, 7, 9, 10, 11, and some in the Capitol

District 20: oil and gas. yeah, car shit. there was more found eventually even after we ran out. gas was eventually stopped being used, but it did take a while to create generators. oils have their own factories in almost all Districts, stuff like coconut oil is One's job, but food oil is a mix of Seven and Eleven, maybe even a bit of Ten. anyways, not many of them made it to the Capitol

District 21: landfills/recycling centers. easy enough to understand, these people actually live terribly, though the work was split between the Capitol, some of District 3, and some of 5. imagine Wall-E, toiling away packing garbage, that is what they do. this District was split in half between landfills and recycling centers and have very different cultures/ideals, I'll make a post about them someday

By Michael Phillips | MDBayNews GAITHERSBURG, Md. — With a reelection campaign approaching, a Maryland state legislator representing Legislative District 17 is facing renewed scrutiny after publicly defending middle school students protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during school hours — and responding to parental concerns with profanity rather than oversight.

😩 Your character is exhausted. Are they more likely to be exhausted physically or mentally?

lemme think.............hmmmmm.............................................

both actually, she's still quite young (crying about shoving her in the hunger games rn why am I evil) and therefore really wouldn't take well to not sleeping.

🖌️ Your character has to guide a few (or more) children in some sort of arts and crafts activity. What kind of thing are they doing?

using plants to make dye!! she adores plants and could absolutely make it interesting
