The Hunger Games (AU) (Chapter 17 released)

[Abu]

A few centuries ago, humanity killed itself off after a large war that used nuclear weaponry resulted in famine and drought. Almost every place on Earth was affected, and most records of civilisation were destroyed. Climate change is what began this conflict; humanity could never control itself. The few remaining nations are all unaware of each other's existence, and have regressed into a society with a lot of advanced technology in transport and infrastructure, but with pre-Industrial era agriculture, healthcare, weaponry, and communications (with the exception of television).

Oros was founded 133 years ago by a group of a few thousand Survivalists, who enslaved the people who had already found a home; the Charngashnar mountain hunters, the Gwarashnar badland gatherers, the Suxnei plain farmers, and the Udnei marshland dwellers.

When the four groups rebelled 78 years ago, a bloody civil war erupted, but the Survivalists won. To force the natives to remember this event, the Hunger Games began. 6 people from each group of natives would be forced to battle it out until only 2 were remaining.

I can't believe u forgot Leia

[Abu]

I tried to edit it to have Leia I guess the WiFi was too slow. I will do that now.

I have taken the liberty to create an entirely new world, with some backstory, in the first post. The Hunger Games themselves have the same rules (but with two winners being the default for more interesting dynamics). Random.org will be the sole decider of who dies and kills, with the exception of a death that makes zero sense in a story.

Usually, the downfall of my fanfictions is that I spend too much time on the backstory. So apart from the first post I will try to make sure that the rest of the fan fiction will just be plot!

[Resolutely]

Just throw in some random backstory when it is appropriate. Let the plot reveal that stuff slowly.

Chapter 1
The 74th Hunger Games

Overseer Neff towers over his Survivalist comrades on his altar this chilly spring day, but that doesn't help him with his stage fright. Breathing in...breathing out. Nobody will really care if he slips up; these people adore the Hunger Games, and they respect Matthew Neff just as much. Yet, announcing the start of Hunger Games season was always difficult for him.

Not that there was any time left to ponder about that.

It was time.

"Survivalist brothers and sisters!", Overseer Neff begins.

"I am pleased to announce that this year, the Hunger Games will be taking place in the summer. In 90 days, 24 contestants will be battling it out to the death. Only two will remain victorious!". Pausing for dramatic effect, his spirits are uplifted by the yelling and cheering of the crowd.

"We have a dangerous, but beautiful, arena being prepared for our contestants. They will be selected in 14 days; you will get to know them very soon! Thank you, Survivalists, for your continued loyalty to the government. This is your reward!".

They ate it up like candy, these Survivalists. Matthew didn't understand what was so exciting. These were foolish barbarians who got in the way of his ancestors; they deserved the painful reminder. No, they deserved far worse. Little did those barbarians know that the contestants this year were going to be rigged...
