The Amazons // District Four

There is a secret off the coast of District Four.

Few know about it, and even fewer have seen it and lived to tell of its splendor. The secret, well-hidden, is an island with pristine waters and soaring cliffs. Those who get too close to shore without knowing the dangers of the tides are sure to perish, as the rocky waters surrounding the island are a maze in themselves. The currents are known for pulling unsuspecting fishermen to their deaths.

Though the island is difficult to reach, it is not empty. It is populated by a group of women who live secluded from the mainland of District Four. Though the Peacekeepers know their names, nobody knows enough about them to determine where they live. While some swear the women can occasionally be seen around the town square, seeking supplies, the only way to guarantee a sighting is to attend the Reaping.

They are warriors, you see, and so are their daughters. They do not shy away from the prospect of battle. They spend their time training, working, and living the bulk of their lives apart from the men in their District. They train to protect themselves against the folly of man and to protect their younger ranks from the threat of the Reaping.

They are practically born in battle, clad in armor and fiercely protective and loving of their own.

They are independent, proud, strong.

They call themselves the Amazons.

Welcome to the Amazons plot.

The Amazons originated from Greek mythology as a tribe of warrior women, and they also play a notable role in Wonder Woman.

Although I am still trying to navigate the mechanics of this plot, I know a few things:

• First, anyone can participate and have a warrior woman character (or several) of their own.
• Your character can either be an original one (preferably with a Greek name) or you can base your character off a story of an Amazon in Greek mythology. I’m open to anything, I just have to make sure that people’s ideas don’t clash too much (e.g. two people writing about the same Amazon from mythology.) This is why I’ll have a signup form (see below), and I will be PMing people if their ideas/characters are accepted. If you have a pre-existing character that you want to add to the plot – say, if they find the Amazons somehow – this is also acceptable.
• I want to encourage diversity in your face claims and characters. Although all characters in this plot won't be men, I strongly encourage you to create characters of varying age, race, gender expression, ability, sexual orientation, and so forth.
• These Amazons do have children with men from District Four, often to increase their ranks. They do have families among themselves, and they are a tight-knit community.
• The Amazon women live mostly autonomously from the rest of the District, finding their own food, creating most of their own supplies from the resources on their island, and taking part in various jobs.
  

I may add more notes to this plot page as questions occur, so feel free to PM me or DM me on Slack with anything you need to ask!
