uh- excus-

anywho, are there any other tributes youve established? maybe some more worldbuilding in this version of panem? or whatever setting this is IM STILL READING THE FIC SRRY

HIIIIIII !!! LKLKSDJFK THANK U FOR THE INTEREST !!! hell yeah penny angst <3

so far, most of the tributes are ocs or inspired by existing characters in the rotbftd - futuristic four - non/dreamworks fandoms that i gave panem-accurate names so they blend in seamlessly in the background without distracting from the main characters . here's a few characters that are inspired by existing characters:

Shrushti, Tadashi's stylist - Toothiana from ROTG

Mirana, District 1 escort - White Queen from Alice in Wonderland

Thal, District 5 (age 12) - Nemo

Birdy, District 7 (age 15) - Astrid from HTTYD

Sonora, District 10 (age 15) - Snow White

Irri, District 11 (age 14) - Tip from Home

it was difficult to put other existing characters into the world (into the districts, specifically) because Panem's struggles and worldbuilding are so specific that i couldn't just plop them into it without tweaking them a lot 😆 i found that the tadashi, hiro, penny, elsa, anna, and hans were the easiest to put into the world bc of their character and motivation as a whole (though initially, i only put penny in it bc she's a young redhead that elsa could project to but the more i studied her and wrote her, she ended up being perfect for the world)

i tried to make this version of panem as close to panem but with additional info that i made up bc the focus isnt on district 12. so here's a few details i added or built upon:

districts have no communication with each other so their knowledge abt each other are also delayed (penny discovers that panem has been using tidal power for ten years now through thal when she thought it was new and unstable technology)

desirable victors (and sometimes their children) are regularly brought in by the capitol to attend socialite parties for ....... various............... entertainment ............ purposes ............ (elsa and anna may or may not have a capitol citizen father ..........)

apart from interviewing victors abt their hobbies and life post-games, there's also reality shows about victors and/or their children (which is what elsa and anna were in for most of their lives)

each capable non-career district has its own way of discreetly training their children either through work or education (district 12, due to being the poorest, doesnt have either of these) . in district 3, survival skills are embedded into the advanced curriculum. unfortunately, they can only offer the advanced curriculum to the smarter students as most will/have work in the factories.

hiro and penny are classmates in the advanced curriculum ! theyre both training to be inventors (hiro has a focus on robots just like tadashi while penny has a focus on gadgets)

district 2 and 4 dont have dedicated training centers bc their kids' training are though work (2 with military training, 4 with fishing) while district 1 (luxury goods & lifestyle) have a specific academy that includes training (disguised as physical education) in their curriculum (training tributes before the games is actually illegal lmao so careers find loopholes around this)
