Is your thread over? Has your character died, and their profile become obsolete? We don't want to delete these, as they are an important part of the THG:RPG history, so they go here instead. Please contact a staff member if you need a thread moved, and we'll put it in the appropriate board.

A large, bustling square in the center of the Capitol, the city circle is where most events and interaction takes place. The opening ceremony for the annual Hunger Games is held here as well.

Residents of the Capitol love to decorate and adorn their bodies with outrageous clothes, makeup, and hairstyles. Here is where most of that is done, with clothing outlets, salons, and beauty parlors.

Most of the Capitol residents live in this area of the city.

No one in Panem is more attached to the Games than the Capitolites who put them on. So absorbed do they become, in fact, that most of Panem's richest tier refuse to let their favorite moments go. Many reruns of Games past can be found in between regular shows- but for some, watching them on television isn't enough. These are the people who can be found at the sites of past Arenas, reenacting the most dramatic deaths and having picnics in the prettier regions. Zoos with examples of the muttations are quite popular, as are demonstrations of Gamemaker traps, and many people even enjoy dressing up as their favorite tributes.

Of the two Districts primarily fueled by mining, District Two is unquestionably the lucky one. Why they're so much more fortunate than their District Twelve counterparts is hard to say- perhaps it's simply a matter of being close to the Capitol, perhaps it has something to do with all the Peacekeepers recently seen moving into the area, and maybe it's a more complicated result of the economy having previously been built upon a medical industry. Either way, nearly everyone agrees that District Two is second only to One in terms of luxury and the fierceness of the Careers- and, indeed, most of those who disagree hold District Two at the top.

For a long time District Five was the place to be if you wanted to work with animals, and remnants of this industry still remain, from scattered ranches to exotic pet breeding for the richer members of the populace. However, the time when husbandry truly dominated the economy is past, and now oil rigs and refineries are the far more common sights. Sadly, the region is becoming far more polluted than in previous years- but it's also better off financially than before, so many consider the smog an unfortunate but more than fair tradeoff.

Grateful for the wool jacket that keeps you from freezing during Panem's winters? Thank the people of District Eight, whose lives generally revolve around the creation of textiles. From harvesting the materials (cotton, wool, fur, you name it), to refining them into thread or hide, to sewing the whole sock or blanket or shirt together, Eight's denizens are undoubtedly the masters of their trade. Unfortunately for them, it's not a particularly rich business, and they face fierce economic competition from fancier Capitol garments, leaving most of the citizens fairly poor.

The other half of Panem's agricultural industry, District Eleven handles all of the farming. Its vast territory, probably the biggest in Panem, has only the occasional city or town and is mostly covered with orchards, fields, and other places where plants can be grown in the necessary quantities to pay the Capitol and still manage to feed the District. Easily one of the poorest Districts, Eleven is ragged even in the richest of areas (even their Town Square has the feel of being run-down), and despite being surrounded by food the people here are often hungry.

Between all the districts, open forest and land can be found. It is forbidden to go here, but many a time you can spot a wanderer, runaway, or even just a District citizen up to no good here.

Past District Twelve, and even the ruins of District Thirteen the vast Atlantic Ocean can be found. Be careful though; if you come here, there's a rather large chance you won't be able to get back.

A newly constructed building just outside of District 2, the Detention Center is relatively small concrete structure. The complex is primarily underground, made up of cells, peacekeeper housing, and an 'interrogation' center. Breaking out is completely impossible; breaking in would be excruciatingly difficult, and probably result in becoming one of the detainees.
