The 56th Hunger Games

Atoa, a couple days ago I had a dream involving an urban Arena. It was epic. =D It'd be very hard to pull off here, though- so many details...

Lessee, characters... I used to want Cadia to go into the Games (in fact, she was in them at one point, but those Games went kerplunk), simply because I think it'd be fun. I've decided not to sign her up for tesserae, though, because I've got plans for her that don't involve the Arena. She's got things to do, places to rampage, parents to hunt down and kill. Fun times, ya.

When I was creating Akshara and Kehar, I toyed with the idea of making them young enough to sign up for tesserae. Kehar takes over in times of stress, so even though they'd follow their normal back-and-forth schedule during training, she'd be in charge for most of the Games. She couldn't care less if she kills someone (or several someones), and can act well enough to get herself set up with an alliance early on. But there are a few problems: they're not really from District Five (fixable- they just has to lie and say they are, though that'd get confusing for Shar because it would be Keri who signed them up...), and if the Capitol recognized a runaway avox there could be trouble. So no Shar/Keri in the Games.

Which, since Aeleze is both too old and a Capitol denizen, leaves Themba. I would love to see this boy in the Games at some point; it'd have to be fast, because I need to age him and Ayane with each Games if I want their backstory to stay on track, but god, it'd be fun. I'm not overly fond of him as a character, so I don't mind losing him, and can you imagine the fun I'd have with little Ayane when he died?

As for the Arena... well, since I may or may not be helping put the next one together, maybe I should stay quiet. ;)

Just for the record, I would absolutely love to see Dominic and Nil as the District Seven duo. One of them would totally win because everyone else would just keel over and died out of sheer confusion. xD
