{cis male; pansexual} Is that SHAWN MENDES spotted in the Capitol? No, it’s ALEXANDER SNOW who is a NINETEEN year old, who is from the CAPITOL. HE is in the Capitol because he’s an ESCORT. HE has been described as TALENTED, but also IMPULSIVE.

basic facts:

full name: alexander coriolanus snow

nickname: alex

birthday: february 14th

abilities: music & fighting

occupation: escort for district 10

+ traits: talented, intelligent, ambitious, & positive

- traits: impulsive, rebellious, sneaky, & rude

intro:

alexander is the youngest great-grandchild of the late president snow. and his middle name is his name in honor of him

but unlike his great-grandfather, alexander has never liked the hunger games. ever since he was young he would ask his parents why there was the hunger games. and their answers never satisfied alexander.

it wasn’t until alexander got older until he started to speak out against the hunger games.

his parents did everything they could to keep him in the presidential mansion, unless he had to go to school. they were always worried he would say something that they wouldn’t approve of to the media.

unfortunately for them, alexander knew every secret way out of the mansion and the grounds. and was able to get out into the world. usually it would take a few hours before he was caught.

his parents are still hoping that someday he takes their side on things, and becomes an adviser to his older brother. but alexander has no desire to ever be in politics. all he wants to do is play music for people since music is his passion.

alexander has a group of friends he knows that his family would never accept, but that doesn’t change the fact that he wants to be their friends and spend time with them.

when alexander was young he was taught about the underground passageways from his grandfather, something that alexander still uses today as a way to sneak around panem.

he knows more than he should because he is able to stay hidden where people wouldn’t notice him.

he decided this year to get a job as an escort for an outlining district, hoping to give them more hope and figure out a way to end the games. even if it ended the presidency of his brother. he also wants to appease his parents for a bit, so he can actually go outside during the hunger games season.

he can be very positive and charming. but alexander also has a rebellious side, where he will do anything to upset his parents.

he usually has two or three peacekeepers following him everywhere since he technically can become president someday if something happens to his brother and sister. but he is known to sneak away from them or make them think he is in a room while he sneaks out the window.

{cismale; homosexual} Is that MICHAEL SHEEN spotted in the Capitol? No, it’s ACACIUS BECHTEL who is a FIFTY year old who is from THE CAPITOL. HE is in the Capitol because HE’S a  DISTRICT ONE STYLIST. HE has been described as SILVER-TONGUED, but also MANIPULATIVE.

i’m back for round two ;)

BASICS.

FULL NAME: Acacius Bechtel. BIRTH DATE: October 31st. AGE: Fifty. ZODIAC: Scorpio. GENDER: Cismale. PRONOUNS: He/Him. SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Homosexual. STYLING FOR: District One. 

HISTORY.

acacius is ... peculiar, that’s for certain. speak to every sorry soul who’s ever met him and they’ll give you some variation of the word. his parents were quite the same. they were sponsors, powerful ones. the two of them could buy their way to the moon and back without a dent in their bank account.

that being said, their bank accounts were the only positive thing about them. acacius wasn’t well attended to. they were always out, either doing business or swinging with other rich married couples their age. they didn’t even care enough to hire a caretaker. he took himself to school, he cooked his own food, and mended his own clothing. it took a lot of trial and error, but he had to grow up quicker than most of his fellow capitol citizens. 

the older he got, the closer his parents tried to get with him. they started taking him to events with food he couldn’t cook in clothes he couldn’t hand sew. his maturity impressed all sorts of big wigs involved with the games, from sponsors to gamemakers. he was making connections with the government at sixteen, during the 66th games. he was able to see great things because of the places his parents took him to and the people he talked to, but it didn’t come without some things he’d rather forget. maltreatment of staff, tributes, and mentors --- he wishes he would’ve stopped them.

by the time he turned eighteen he was offered an apprenticeship under one of panem’s most prominent stylists and damnit he fell for him like a rock. acacius’ every thought was centered around coming up with new ideas to impress and prove himself to him. everyone thought it was a little weird, it was obvious how obsessed he was with him but even then he continued working to impress, completely oblivious to the traction his work was getting in the meantime.

his apprenticeship ended when he was twenty. he’d be a fool to stop working for the capitol, there was nowhere else he could go but up. this also meant that he wasn’t working under his schoolyard crush anymore. acacius would be lying if he said he didn’t screw him after the 71st games.

their relationship didn’t progress much further than that. some people need ... distance and acacius understood that. they seldom spoke after that and it stung, but hearing he was executed for supporting the failed rebellion that took place after the 74th games hurt more than he could understand. he tried not to think about it again, but it planted a seed of doubt in him that he couldn’t shake. maybe he could do something to help. one day.

since then, he’s kept his romantic life out of work. mostly. he just tries to keep his heart out of the game; it’s far too dangerous. he’d rather rub elbows with the capitol’s fattest cats --- and flirt with the closeted ones. it’s more fun when there aren’t any strings attached.

acacius had nowhere to go but up. he’s been seen with some of the most prominent figures of panem and he knows exactly what he wants to get out of them. he has people to do all of the things he had to do himself, but it ... spoiled him, a little bit. he expects everyone to wait on him hand and foot. it’s the capitol and he’s been in the game since diapers, so this works out in his favor more often than not.

to the naked eye he might seem like every other capitol citizen, all inflated egos and flashy dress, but acacius is different. it’ll just take a little more heartache to figure that out.

HEADCANONS & PERSONALITY

this is the gayest man alive. he gets it from me.

he is nice in the capitol kind of way. i always see it as minnesota nice with californian levels of passive aggressive, for my ‘mericans out there who are familiar with the vibes. basically, acacius could read the shit out of you and still have the decency to clean up the library afterwards. if you get my drift.

i wanted him to have the aziraphale voice so i gave him the aziraphale voice.

he’s got a soft heart, though. he cares a lot about the tributes and tries to make their pieces individual to them. fashion is nothing if it isn’t unique. he’s styled for every district throughout his career and he’s met a lot of different people, it’s still hard for him to grasp that most of them are dead. speaking of, i really want him to be friends with a victor he styled. i can’t stop thinkin abt it.

in a lot of ways, he’s very similar to his parents. socialite with a hedonistic streak. homie FUCKS !! 

i’m basing him off of tan france, jvn, oscar wilde, and just abt every young bright person. not from the movie but from, like, life. 

i am so tired. i'm having starbucks withdrawal. i hope you enjoy this because my brain is soft like cottage cheese and i don’t think you can get any more of this outta me.

{female; heterosexual} Is that DANIELLE CAMPBELL spotted in the Capitol? No, it’s JACQUELINE "JACKIE" DE LA FLEUR who is a TWENTY-ONE year old who is from DISTRICT 1. SHE is in the Capitol because SHE'S a MENTOR. SHE has been described as INTELLIGENT, but also BACK-STABBING. 

heey guys i’m legit SO hyped for this bc i’ve just been in a weird thg mood lately and then this popped up in the tags so sdf sdfg here’s my muse jackie x

she is from district one (where they produce luxury items for the capitol), won the 97th hunger games at 18 years old and is now a mentor

just like probably every single winner, she suffers from trauma and ptsd due to her time in the arena

even though she grew up in one of the capitol’s favourite districts, she has always despised it and their idea of inventing the hunger games. she had never once watched it, but her mother insisted on making her train hard for it ever since she was old enough to walk. jackie is well equipped with close to every kind of weapon there is, however, she refused to touch a single one of them ever since she won the hunger games herself

when she was reaped, everybody was surprised because her name had just been added due to it being her 18th birthday on reaping day. while her family was devastated about the news, jackie told herself that she was going to win and bring home the title in order to honour her wealthy family and prove everyone wrong who thought that a small girl could never win against 23 other people.

all those years of training paid off in the end as she got out of the arena alive and semi-well; her arm was broken and many more bones were fractured but thanks to generous sponsors, she managed to deal with the pain. unlike others who tried to go as long as they could without killling anyone, she immediately started to track down other tributes and ended up killing nine of them.

it came down to her and her ally and close friend who was from her own district. they had been friends for over a decade but just when they realized that one of them had to die, something inside of her snapped and she attacked her life-long friend with an axe, killing him almost instantly since it was so unexpected and he was willing to make some sort of suicide pact like there had been before

jackie was in so much pain and so distressed, all she wanted was to get out of the arena even if it meant she had to kill someone very dear to her -- the public’s reaction was very divided. some thought of her as a “real warrior” while others thought of her as selfish and cruel.

after the entire country of panem called her “the axe-swinging fury” she turned to alcohol and withdrew herself from the public, barely even talking to her own family even though she still loved all of them unconditionally.

jackie never had the heart to mentor other tributes, knowing full well that she had nothing to teach them -- she did not want them to win and suffer like her, instead she wished for them to a die a death that was as peaceful as possible -- the tributes were mentored by other mentors for two years until this year’s hunger games. she decided to finally put her big girl pants on and get her shit together in order to hopefully save a kid’s life and teach them what she had learned in years and years of practice.

she is determined that her tributes will win this game, no matter the cost.

{cis female; pansexual} Is that KAYLEE BRYANT spotted in the Capitol? No, it’s LIVIA HERANO who is a TWENTY year old who is from CAPITOL. SHE is in the Capitol because SHE’S a CO-HOST OF THE HUNGER GAMES. SHE has been described as BUBBLY, but also INNOCENT.

basic facts:

full name: livia valeria herano

nickname: liv, lia

birthday: august 3rd

abilities: music

occupation: co-host of the hunger games

+ traits: bubbly, talented, sweet, & lovable

- traits: innocent, naive, quiet, & shy.

intro:

livia growing up loved watching the hunger games with her family. she never saw anything wrong with it since it was just seen as entertainment for her

she knew someday she wanted to be involved in it somehow, it was her dream. she didn’t know if it would ever happen.

in school livia more kept to herself just working on her studies and not really socializing with people. and because of that, the girl never had a whole lot of friends.

the only people she would really open up to was her family and close friends, people who actually broke down her ways.

a few months ago, livia was given the news she has been wanting ever since she was a little girl, she was going to host the hunger games with her sister starting with the 99th.

she never expected to have a job where she would be in front of people which is why her sister was more in front of crowds of people than her.

livia enjoyed doing everything leading up to the games and the games themselves since it was so different than most other hunger games with two victors.

and now she is overwhelmed but excited for these hunger games since they will be bigger than any hunger games ever before and special since it was the 100th.

she is hoping that with this games she will truly be able to make a name for herself and not just be seen as one of the herano twins. 

she is also hoping to come more out of her shell than she is, but is afraid that she doesn’t know how to.

{cis female; pansexual} Is that DANIELLE ROSE RUSSELL spotted in the Capitol? No, it’s VICTORIA LINCOLN who is a 19 year old, who is from the DISTRICT 10. SHE is in the Capitol because she’s a MENTOR. SHE has been described as BRAVE, but also DISTANT.

basic facts:

full name: victoria katherine lincoln

nickname: vic, tori

birthday: june 22nd

abilities: hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, sword fighting, & survival

occupation: mentor district 10

+ traits: brave, resourceful, adventurous, & bold

- traits: reckless, distant, impulsive, & hot-headed

intro:

victoria is the youngest child of the lincoln family. her parents owned a large farm in district 10, so they were one of the most well off families.

growing up the girl would help her parents with all the animals, her favorite thing was when she had free time to ride the horses. she loved the feeling of freedom she got from it.

in school victoria wasn’t the best student, mostly because she hated being locked up in a room all day. when all she wanted to do was to run free.

the lincolns were always against the hunger games, but kept their hatred silent to protect their family.

when she was reaped, victoria wanted to do nothing but run far away from panem; especially since she only became qualified for the hunger games a few days before. but she knew that she needed to be brave and strong from her family.

most of her time in the capitol victoria stayed to herself, not interacting with her mentors, escort, or quentin unless she had to. and when it came to the rest of the tributes she wouldn’t even look at them.

victoria didn’t want to form connections with anyone since she knew she wouldn’t be able to kill them if she did.

her games: (tw death) victoria scored an eleven score for the games which placed a large target on her back. right away victoria went to the cornucopia and took a sword and backpack. on her way out she killed two tributes. she quickly ran away till she was somewhere safe. at night she only slept three hours, making sure to hide in dark locations so people wouldn’t find her. and before the final battle she killed three other tributes. sometime during the game she met up with quentin, and he was her only ally. and at the final battle she killed a career for her sixth kill. but when it came to quentin she couldn’t kill him, so they decided to use nightlock just like katniss and peeta did, which saved both of their life.

the games just happened three months, victoria is still haunted by the games. most nights she doesn’t sleep, and when she does it’s just nightmares.

victoria is more closed off than ever, still makes jokes and is hot-headed. but she isn’t the same girl she was before the games.

she wants nothing more than to stop the hunger games from ever happening again.

hey lads and lassies. how are we doing. i’m tyler !! i’m currently rotting in my apartment while the quarantine happens. as one does. this is a new muse of mine so i’m still figuring him out, but i hope you guys are excited to meet yves !!

{cismale; bisexual} is that ANDREW HOZIER BYRNE spotted in the capitol? no, it’s YVES STOKER who is a TWENTY EIGHT year old who is from DISTRICT 7. HE is in the capitol because HE’S a MENTOR (89th). HE has been described as LOGICAL, but also WITHDRAWN.

BASICS.

FULL NAME: Yves Woodrow Stoker. BIRTH DATE: June 5th. AGE: Twenty-eight. ZODIAC: Gemini. GENDER: Cismale. PRONOUNS: He/Him. SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Bisexual. VICTORY YEAR: 89th.

HISTORY.

there aren’t many people in district seven who’ve spent the majority of their adolescence expecting to be reaped. in fact, yves would probably estimate that the number is close to zero. he’d know, he was one of them.

his mother was never able to work. her eyesight was taken from her in her youth, which ruined any chance for a sustainable career in their district. his father suffered from a rather unfortunate work related injury when yves turned thirteen. he had to care for his parents just as much as they took care him, and the only way he could do that was by taking out tesserae. he had twenty-one entries by the time he turned seventeen.

he had heard stories about people having thirty, forty, even fifty tesserae and not getting reaped, but he realized that he might not be as lucky. he learned to fight through the panic attacks and the existential dread because after awhile, he had no choice but to grin and bear it.

every reaping he’d stand with his hands behind his back and his head held high, even when his heart started to beat so loud he could hear it through his ears. he’d always imagine the escort saying his name with a grin, getting him ready for the slaughter, but he’d always go back home ready to wait another 365 days for it to happen all over again. he was seventeen when the 89th reaping happened. he didn’t get to go back home.

he let the capital and their minions turn him into something he wasn’t. instead of a person, he was a gimmick. they paraded him around like he was a loyal, brave, rags to riches story in the making. but that didn’t register until they sent him into the arena.

four killed. yves struggles with that number to this day. he remembers their names, their districts, and their ages. every day in that goddamned arena was more painful and heart wrenching than the last. if you ask him he’ll tell you that he regrets not jumping off the podium when he had the chance.

the games did a lot to him. it did a lot to him that no one expected or prepared for. it’s been awhile since a victor had come out of the games a complete shadow of their former self. he had to be kept in the hospital until his victory tour, which is when he first started taking morphling and countless other powerful drugs the nation used to numb the shellshock out of their citizens.

no one really talks about him anymore unless they can’t avoid it. he’s panem’s amanda bynes or lindsay lohan; unspeakable. he doesn’t make public appearances unless he can avoid it, either. he only seems to come out of district seven’s victor’s village when he’s made to mentor a few months out of the year. even then, he’s a frail, gaunt, looming figure people walk on eggshells around. not exactly where he thought he’d be, huh ??

PERSONALITY & HEADCANONS.

he’s ... interesting to be around. sort of eccentric if you’re one of the few people who know him well. not nice, but not mean. he’s stoic and blunt. not nearly as sensitive and as kindhearted as he used to be. the games stunted him emotionally, but the medication he’s forced to take keeps any of that unmanaged rage in a part of his mind he can’t reach.

as a mentor he’s ... not the best. he tries to talk to his tributes as much as he can but his social skills have decayed after around a decade of chronic unuse. his advice is sound, though.

he prefers not to teach anything regarding weapons or killing people, but if you need to learn how to work an axe he can teach you how to swing it like you mean it. most of his time is spent teaching tributes about plant edibility and general survival skills.

speaking of plants !! he has a garden back in his victor’s village and it’s the only thing he cares about. he talks to them like they’re people because they’re the only things that haven’t tried to turn him into a commodity. and it helps them grow, so it’s really a win/win situation. they’re his babies.

he’s bisexual but hasn’t had a romantic or sexual thought in. ages tbh. sometimes he wonders what it’d be like to be in love, but he figures that it’s too much work. every time someone asks, he just brushes it off and mentions how he’s too late to start the game. it stings, though. just a little bit.

walks with a cane. why ?? i thought it would look cool so now you all have to deal with it.

it looks cool because he’s 6′5 and it’s three feet long. it could probably be used as a highly efficient weapon if he didn’t need it to stand.

PINTEREST BOARD

[stcllarvm]

{CIS MALE; PANSEXUAL} is that CHRIS EVANS spotted in the capitol? no, it’s PEETA MELLARK who is a FORTY-TWO year old who is from the DISTRICT 12. HE is in the capitol because HE’S a MENTOR (74TH). HE has been described as KIND-HEARTED, but also UNSURE.  

basic facts:

full name: peeta breighd mellark (his middle name is pronounced bread, don’t judge me)

nickname: peeta or the boy with bread

birthday: march 21

abilities: throwing weights, baking, and decorating 

occupation: escort for district 12

+ traits: positive, kind-hearted, loving, & charming

- traits: unsure, overprotective, sly, & cunning

intro:

he is the youngest of the mellark children and his parents own a bakery.

his parents were pretty abusive to peeta growing up, especially when he made a mistake. it got to the point where it no longer affected him as much as it use to.

he had been in love with katniss from the first moment he heard her sing, but he was always too afraid to talk to her.

when he saw katniss outside his parents’ shop starving, he purposely burnt the bread, so he could give her some for free. that led to a beating from his parents, but he didn’t care.

when peeta was reaped, he was freaked out. not only because he had no chance of surviving, but also because he would have to be in the arena with the girl he had been in love with since he was a child.

peeta used his charming nature to get people to fall in love with him since the instant he was in the capitol.

his games: (tw death) peeta quickly made allies with the careers, knowing that he could protect katniss during the games. he wanted her to be the one to win since he knew she could. he only directly killed one tribute during the games. but blames himself for foxface’s death after she found his berries.

after the game peeta still kept up his happy personal to be a rock there for katniss. but peeta was torn up. seeing death truly broke him. and it didn’t help that the games took his leg.

while only one tribute from twelve has won the hunger games since him and katniss. peeta still does what he needs to get sponsers for his tributes. he uses his likable personality to get people to send help to the tributes.

him and katniss got married right after their victory and not long after had twin children.

this year is very hard on peeta because both of his kids are in the games and he will do anything he can to make sure one of them survives but hopes the game just never happens.

he is known around training center as the boy with the bread well now man, he makes bread and desserts and muffins and stuff like that for the tributes and mentors.

also, a not well known thing by pretty much everyone is that he has a bromance with president maverick. the two for the past few years have become close and peeta considers him a friend.

{cis female; pansexual} Is that DOVE CAMERON spotted in the Capitol? No, it’s AURELIA LANCASTER who is a NINETEEN year old who is from CAPITOL. SHE is in the Capitol because SHE’S a STYLIST. SHE has been described as OPTIMISTIC, but also NAIVE.

basic facts:

full name: aurelia flavia lancaster

nickname: aurie

birthday: october 31

abilities: music, dancing, & fashion

occupation: stylist for district 12

+ traits: optimistic, talented, over-achiever, & dreamer

- traits: naive, perfectionist, stubborn, & quiet

intro:

aurelia grew up in a family who was surrounded by the hunger games, her father was a gamemaker and her mom was a political adviser to the president. they always wanted their kids to be involved in the games some how.

the blonde really didn’t know how she felt about the games because she hated when her favorite survivors would be killed which was very frequent since aurelia would always root for the people that no one else was.

at school she was a person that everyone wanted to work with, but at the same time didn’t want to work with her since she could help get a’s on projects, but at the same time, she would want everything done perfect which frequently got on people’s nerves.

something aurelia loved to do in her free time was sing and write songs, something barely anyone knows about her since she never thought she was that good.

right out of high school aurelia started to work as a prep from district 1 stylist for one of the tributes.

however, this year they needed more stylists which led aurelia moving up from prep to stylist, something she had always dreamed of.

now aurelia wants to make great fashions that everyone all around panem talks about and finally show everyone what she is all about.

people could just tell aurelia all their secrets since she was a trust worthy person who could keep them for people. she also just had such a positive personality that it was easy to. 

though some people couldn’t stand how positive she was all the time since to some it seemed faked since they just didn’t believe someone could be so positive about life.

aurelia volunteered to be a stylist for district twelve, most people thought she did it to be upgraded from prep to stylist, but the truth is she wants to try to help district 12 win since she has always loved the underdog districts.

aurelia knew that she would do anything to help get her tributes whatever they need to survive.
