TW! there's a bunch of dark topics (mentions of trafficking, gore, slavery), please continue scrolling if this can be uncomfortable for you. please keep yourself safe!
alright, so this is the most depressing one sorry, and this is at the bottom, like the very bottom of all the classes
if you can assume from the name of the class, they are trafficked, mirroring this modern day and world for the horrors of human trafficking
there are three houses of trafficking (similar to how in the real world there are three main types of human trafficking)
labour trafficking (mainly just avox and slaves), sex trafficking (prostitutes, pets, and courtesans, and organs trafficking (and in this world it's called harvesting)
this population isn't really big (since most of them die), but it is bigger than the Old Families class at the very least
these people are usually either kidnapped or sold, usually at a very young age, so they are easier to knock out and carry and since some parents are very poor and desperate to the point where they sell their children
this even happens in other Districts, most frequently District 1 though, and most of all, the Capitol
anyways, these people are usually kept in a prison for a while, then they have their DNA checked out, and from there they will be sorted
if they have naturally good looking/pretty good body parts genes, then they will be sent to be a sex slave
if they are naturally strong, resilient, body good for hard labour, then they are sent to be labour slaves
and if they aren't good at either of those, are disabled in some way, kind of sick, or have incredibly good organs, then they will harvested
so these aren't just working population, they are owned by somebody and do not get paid, the only money spent was buying them and making sure they stay alive
and these people go through the same process as an avox, and become more personalized
a good amount of Capitolites wouldn't like a former criminal to be their avox, so what they do is that they buy a kidnapped/sold person who got converted into an avox
they get surgery and become personalized. like their eye, skin, hair color are surgically changed (obviously without consent) and they are usually decorated to look similar to their owner or they follow a certain theme (that the owner does choose)
and they are kind of decorated like dolls/robots. they usually are more compliant than the average Working Population worker, due to fear and training (electrocution, can't have any ugly whip marks on precious property)
some of them are forced to do heavy labour such as in the Districts, though, some are bought by illegal companies to do a whole bunch of stuff
still, their owners do own their bodies and technically they can be sexually abused (though it's not what they're groomed or trained for, and it won't be their only use), and they can still be harvested, usually when they age out though
ok, so these people are also slaves, but are specifically raised, trained, and groomed for sexual activities
I can't say much, but they are really treated and used like pets or toys
they usually are kept in a prison where they get trained for several years (in which some outside people can visit). they aren't put out in a more public buying area until they reach a certain age (prime ages) for activities
again, they are owned, and technically they could be ordered to do other work, but they wouldn't be good at it, and often it would damage how they preform during intercourse
I'm honestly so sad I have so many headcannons about this one. but this did originate when I saw gameplay of a game that takes you through the horrors of human trafficking, specifically children trafficking for harvesting organs (I even based an oc which I will post about sometime soon)
disclaimer! I should have put this earlier, but better now than never. I'm not using any type of trafficking as entertainment or content, I am just bringing some level of awareness to it, and in a world like Panem, even worse than our world, I think it would make sense for these things to happen. and I would like to bring attention to the real cruelty of our world, along with theirs, including all the people have experienced these horrors or who have had the chance to in the past or still do
alright, let's start with basics, people who get their organs harvested are usually between ages 4-45. any older and only their blood will be drawn and their organs won't be used for transplants
there are a couple categories for what these organs are used for: transplants, experimentation, mutts, decoration, and personal use
first, transplants, usually Elite and above, sometimes Specialist can choose out an organ transplant depending on their body types, sizes, whatever. it's pretty basic
next, experimentation. this is usually for diseases, medicines, equipment, medical students/scientists to get real hands-on learning process and stuff. or to see how human organs can withstand certain pressure, or how it reacts to certain chemicals, or how it can be modified further to benefit people even more
third, mutts. yes, a good amount of mutts of a certain size and sometimes bigger are filled with some mixture of human, animal, and lab made organs. for example, let's say that in Katniss' arena the tributes were supposedly turned into dogs. they definitely got the eyes from real humans, maybe the tributes since their eyes would be closed anyways, though the rest of it was lab-made mutt and animal
fourth, decoration. organs are put into jars, bones used for vases or furniture, ashes used for jewelry, eyes put on doors as a quirky warning, skin used for lamps to light up a room, blood used as a paint color, dried skin used as leather for the boots, and a beautiful statue so human like, no, it's someone who has been stuffed. yes, sadly, there are a good amount of people psychotic like Gaul to use humans as decorations
lastly, personal use. now there's cults who burn or mummify bodies. people who are wanting to conduct their own unprofessional experiments. and there is at least one cannibal left in the Capitol, (making a story about them, they're incredibly traumatized but they eat humans to cope since they ate them for so long and aren't really able to eat normal foods)
anyways! this was the final post about the classes of the Capitol (not sub-classes tho)
