KILL SHEET
First. Tanner Faustus, District Nine.
"…"
Age: 17
Score: 7
Death by massive cranial trauma. Credited to Rippel Clark, District Four.
Kills: 0
In all likelihood, the boy would have died before he had a chance to make much of himself. It's a shame his alliance with the Seven boy was fractured so early, though. They would have been worth watching as a duo. He was ultimately the spare in the alliance, and the first of the tributes to meet his end at the Cornucopia. Mere filler.
Second. Iezsa Monet, District Five.
"No, no, oh God not yet-!"
Age: 15
Score: 4
Death by internal decapitation. Credited to Auroch Vachel, District Ten.
Kills: 0
She never would have won. If by some stroke of luck the girl survived past the initial bloodbath, she would have met such an ungracious end as a sink to the temple upon seeing the cockroach mutts in the bathroom and passing out with fear.
Third. Pasque Lunette, District Eleven.
"Bring it."
Age: 18
Score: 3
Death by trauma to the occipital lobe. Credited to Dylan Ahava, District Four.
Kills: 0
It's a shame we never got to see the side of the boy that Head Peacekeeper Boise described on recommending him for the Games. I have to wonder if there was ever a spark in him to begin with; if there was, it was stamped out of him long before the Games began.
Fourth. Forester Montgomery-Cunningham, District Seven.
"Tanner! Tanner, what happened?"
Age: 17
Score: 7
Death by internal hemorrhage. Credited to Martial Sutter, District Two.
Kills: 0
Now this was a death I was not expecting. Something about Forester made him relatable to both the districts and the Capitol. He would have made a very nice victor, as well. It's a shame that he died so easily. Then again, he encountered one of the most initially dangerous Careers in the arena at the exact wrong time. One could hardly expect him to win the fight.
Fifth. Perl Bolton, District Eight.
"Moire… for you… sorry…"
Age: 18
Score: 4
Death by severe trauma to the cervical vertebrae. Credited to Lycra Dietrich, District One.
Kills: 0
She was a favorite in the districts from the beginning, and I honestly can't say that I wasn't at all touched by her sacrifice to the country. She was one of the tributes I watched, almost hoping for a miracle. If something in her had been pushed a little further, I can still see what tremendous potential a mother could have brought to the arena.
Sixth. Sorrel Primrose, District Eleven.
"I.. I can do this! Just gotta… just gotta run… find Iezsa and run…"
Age: 15
Score: 6
Death by terminal damage to the thoracic vertebrae. Credited to Martial Sutter, District Two.
Kills: 0
The girl had charm, and she certainly had her talents. Her mentor was close to her prior to the Games, and was left utterly dissolute at her early death. Something about her stirred sympathy in the strangest of places. It wasn't enough to save her life.
Seventh. Rachel Goldberg, District Six.
"Sorrel!"
Age: 14
Score: 3
Death by immolation. Credited to Demetra Boise, District Two.
Kills: 0
Every year has one of these overly entitled children of the districts. The girl was a particularly glaring example, serving only in the capacity of an easily detestable victim. There was no way she could have made it through the bloodbath. There would have been a riot if she did. The undeserving simply should not win, no matter how small the victory.
Eighth. Lycra Dietrich, District One.
"I've got her-!"
Age: 16
Score: 8
Death by immolation. Credited to Demetra Boise, District Two.
Kills: 1
What a shallow example of a Career tribute. The girl was vicious, contemptuous, and woefully insecure. When she volunteered, she signed her death sentence. I had seen too many young women go the same way to guess at anything other than her death from the beginning.
Ninth. Asha Woodlawn, District Seven.
"So this is it…"
Age: 17
Score: 6
Death by massive cranial trauma. Credited to Auroch Vachel, District Ten.
Kills: 0
Just a small, weak willed young woman who was bullied into an alliance which benefitted no one. She possessed none of the innate hardiness necessary for victory. The girl was dispassionate and uninteresting in all of her endeavors throughout the training period. Just a girl, no more. Definitely not a victor.
Tenth. Martial Sutter, District Two.
"You little bastard!"
Age: 18
Score: 10
Death by cranial ballistic trauma. Credited to Lucian Gray, District Two.
Kills: 2
For one of the standout Career tributes, the boy met an ungraceful end for his foolhardiness. Confronting the boy on his own, expecting to make it through the encounter – pure fantasy. Still, he was intriguingly unstable in his rigid but indecipherable moral code. Had he survived, he would have been one to watch. As a corpse, he was little more than an overgrown boy.
Eleventh. Gull Trillby, District Four.
"They'll believe me. You're a sociopath."
Age: 16
Score: 8
Death by cranial ballistic trauma. Credited to Lucian Gray, District Two.
Kills: 0
This was a boy with no prodigious skill, no particular charisma, and absolutely no luck. He underestimated the younger boy from Two, just as his district partner did, and with just as fatal a result. Still, he truly gave the Games his best. He tried. That's worth something.
Twelfth. Auroch Vachel, District Ten.
"…"
Age: 18
Score: 11
Death by asphyxiation and blood loss. Credited to Chalice Patel, District One.
Kills: 2
Now this was the boy to be beaten. He possessed the strength to be a formidable opponant, and the mind to back it up. But like the younger Four boy, he had no luck; unlike him, he entered the arena with a grudge. That was the blind spot that did him in. He was a boy who hated to see himself lose, enough to sacrifice the true victory that could have rather easily been his.
Thirteenth. Rippel Clark, District Four.
"…you can't just kill anyone you want to…"
Age: 16
Score: 9
Death by cranial ballistic trauma. Credited to Lucian Gray, District Two.
Kills: 1
The girl suffered from a terminal blandness that invariably takes a capable tribute from victor material to an extra, to be dispatched when visually convenient. While under different circumstances, the girl would have made it very far, the Games need to move forward. Her death facilitated that.
Fourteenth. Chalice Patel, District One.
"If you won't kill him, I will!"
Age: 15
Score: 7
Death by blunt force trauma to the occipital lobe. Credited to Diele Hobel, District One.
Kills: 1
I was pleasantly surprised by the capacity for violence the girl displayed; I am not often surprised by a tribute's actions. Miss Patel's increasingly unhinged behavior was at the very least entertaining, being quite at odds with her physical appearance.
Fifteenth. Diele Hobel, District One.
"I'll look around up ahead; I think the road is slanting up!"
Age: 18
Score: 10
Death by cranial ballistic trauma. Credited to Lucian Gray, District Two.
Kills: 1
Once again, a Career tribute with precious little to distinguish her from any other. The girl was not particularly distinctive by any classification, and though she held the highest score in training of any girl in the arena, I have it on good authority that it was more by nature of her 'well-roundedness', or, for lack of a better word, barely above average proficiency in any one area.
Sixteenth. Skiff Child, District Eleven.
"I can't see a thing… it's awfully dark… hold on!"
Age: 15
Score: 6
Death by asphyxiation. Credited to Lissom Henley, District Ten.
Kills: 0
When I see tributes such as this boy surviving beyond the final twelve, they always give me pause. However, it seems to be more a matter of luck than any skill he and his young ally possessed. The boy was lucky. Simply lucky. His death was much more interesting than his life, sparking the chain reaction which finally finished off the trio of young competitors.
Seventeenth. Holland Love, District Eight.
"These… don't fit. I could use some shoes."
Age: 15
Score: 5
Death by blood loss. Credited to Lissom Henley, District Ten.
Kills: 0
The boy's survival was a through-and-through statistical anomaly. He was from a wealthier subsection of his district, received a score that barely brushed shoulders with 'average', and showed little sign of potential beyond a certain charismatic intelligence and an uncommon sense of decency. Like his ally, he was lucky to survive beyond the bloodbath at the Cornucopia, though his eventual death was lucky for the Gamemakers. A spectacular display of brutality by his killer.
Eighteenth. Dylan Ahava, District Four.
"You're a bitch, Demetra."
Age: 18
Score: 10
Death by asphyxiation and severe vertebral trauma. Credited to Demetra Boise, District Two.
Kills: 1
Here was a boy destined to reach the final five if I ever saw one. He scored on the higher end of the spectrum, had a certain intrigue, not hurt by his looks, and lived by a rigid moral code that made winning the Games appear a nigh impossible endeavor from the beginning. Something about him was too unashamedly good to survive.
Nineteenth. Lucian Gray, District Two.
"Not if I win."
Age: 16
Score: 7
Death by blood loss and multiple organ failure. Credited to Lissom Henley.
Kills: 6
Ah, the boy was the breakout tribute from the beginning. In hindsight, seeing him stand on the stage, unvolunteered for on the basis of his presenting little competition seems almost comical. His kill count stands at the highest of the entire Games, and for a year that included Miss Boise as the victor, that is an impressive number indeed. From start to finish, he was a competitor who knew how to kill, and was not shy about doing so.
Twentieth. Lissom Henley, District Ten.
"You saw… you saw me. I did something good…"
Age: 13
Score: 5
Death by blood loss and asphyxiation. Credited to Lucian Gray.
Kills: 3
Perhaps the second most surprising competition, this girl simply would not give up. The kind of pain she must have been in from start to finish is simply beyond contemplation. When her body was recovered, there were five rounds from mister Gray's handgun lodged throughout her abdomen, yet she managed not only to kill him but to stagger away to meet her death at the claws of the avian muttation.
Twenty-first. Lectic Riggs, District Three.
"It's worth it. Living is worth dying."
Age: 16
Score: 5
Death by blood loss. Credited to Lucian Gray.
Kills: 0
Mister Riggs was something of a singularity, surviving until the final two without a single kill to his credit- something nearly unheard of, especially in an ordinary district tribute. There is little doubt that without the intervention of his ally, he would not have survived the first day. Then again, I would not have guessed at the Eight boy's survival, either. Fortune plays a larger part in the Games than we think.
Victor. Demetra Boise, District Two.
"Fuck death. Also, fuck life. Fuck everything. I'm through with this shit."
Age: 18
Score: 9
Victor of the 100th Hunger Games.
Kills: 3
I should have seen Demetra coming. Initially, I discredited her as a competitor because of her score and the admittedly convincing persona of an arrogant anti-intellectual that she projects. She gives every appearance of embodying the cliché of a strong but unskilled Career tribute who survives long enough to briefly throw a wrench in the Career pack dynamic only to die by their own machinations.
Clearly, that was not the case. She obfuscated the Gamemakers' view of the fragile arena dynamic, subverted most every expectation of her, and ultimately beat a system that was trying actively, on my behest, to kill her. I do not want to see the consequences of her attention turned to other fronts.
Gamemaker Liaison-
Thank you for your comprehensive report on the final standings of the tributes of the fourth Quarter Quell. My notes are added at the end of each entry. You have performed your duties admirably in the wake of Head Gamemaker Udine's passing. I will be naming a new Head Gamemaker before the end of the victory tour, and I would appreciate it if you could continue as a full Gamemaker under new administration.
While I would not want it made public knowledge, a good portion of my guard is currently off in what was formerly a Western province of Russia. I am providing this information because I trust that you will continue your work as historian in addition to your Gamemaking duties. The initiative to restore District Twelve may be completed as soon as a decade from now, and as the youngest and ostensibly the most patriotic member of the Gamemaking team, it is you who I trust to compensate for the addition, no matter how long the campaign continues or how distasteful you find the circumstances.
Expect that I will keep in touch with you and will follow your actions as Gamemaker with great interest. You play a vital part in our country's defense.
Best of luck to you, Ms. Liaison.
Sincerely,
President Charles Norris
