*picks up your hunger games boy fig by the collar and shakes him* i need to know everything about The Boy™ (and your other thg ocs too tbh) — @xoteajays

DNKLANKLFNWK omg THANK YOU (i'll take it as a high compliment considering your thg ocs Stun)

it's so funny bc i got this ask and fig very much went. '*looks left* *looks right* me?" bc his goal in life is to be the most boring man alive NLDNFNNLKFN so he was like. 'no that must be wrong. someone else surely.' but no im so glad to talk about him bc he's my Best friend!

fig has lived a very simple life - well, as simple as a ward of district 12 can have. he lives in the district's group home, where all the kids without parents live. conditions are pretty shit, but fig's a fighter - he gets by. he essentially grows up on the streets, eating out of dumpsters and putting his name in the reaping a couple extra times. he works maybe a little illegally some shifts in the mines when he's underage. other than that, he mostly keeps his head down and sticks to himself. loner core - much like other resident weirdos katniss everdeen and madge undersee, who sit with him on the first day of lunch bc he's got the only table left open!!!

now fig is Not a Talker and luckily neither are these ladies so they all just kinda chill. occasionally he runs into them outside of school - follows katniss as she hunts, sees madge as she picks strawberries. he Lurks. madge notices him but kind of just lets him tag along, and eventually he just starts going with her, an unspoken invitation. it's a friendship forged in solitude and simplicity and appreciating each other's company.

the problem with this is that fig, though he longs desperately to fade into non-existence, is also a Yearner. a hopeless romantic, a person who longs for things he can never have. so of course after spending some time around madge undersee he becomes Particularly fond of her and whoops! has a huge crush on her! so fig (because he's fig) immediately tries to isolate himself. no friend, no friend to have a crush on! madge seeks him out though bc. they are friends and she's not just gonna let him do that to himself. so they talk (as much as they can bc fig Hates discussing Feelings) and kind of sort themselves out and madge is like. 'well why didn't you tell me. you're one of two people people i enjoy being around and you're handsome.' so they start seeing each other. very secret relationship, her dad doesn't Hate fig outright but he def wouldn't approve so it's all very lowkey. but they are very in love <3

eventually he begins working with the rebellion - for katniss, his bud. gale brings him in bc though they aren't close (gale finds him strange and off-putting which. fair.) they can agree on this. he (unfortunately for him) makes it to district 13 but he and madge get separated and of course. she doesn't.

anyway fig is a very supporting character who probs Wouldn't make it onscreen in the real world but he's personal to ME he's my best friend <3 (sorry if this is nonsensical i asked him to put this down into words and he looked at me blankly for like 3 hours)

as for the rest, little blurbs under the cut!

juniper greengrove - thresh's girlfriend (/fiancee technically :(), farmhand and unofficial teacher in district 11, rebellion leader, nosey district 13 resident who puts her nose in places where she doesn't belong, friend to the friendless and helper to the helpless

mercury lovelock - winner of the 51st hunger games, depressed housewife and ex-mother, tribute in the quarter quell, had a tragic ex-situationship during her games, she and haymitch met during winners' events and have a fun little antagonistic relationship going on

taffeta poplin - winner of the 69th hunger games, ptsd sufferer, ex-darling of her district turned hermit, badly burned because her arena was on fire, close with finnick (and annie) who later introduced her to johanna, she and johanna are... homoerotic friendship exes? to lovers?
