List of Tributes

This is a list of all the tributes that took part in the 58th Hunger Games.

^† Death due to inactivity.

Alliances Prior to Bloodbath

Momma and the Mice

Anya Crider was a young mother, having given birth to a daughter prior to be being sent to the arena, she couldn't help but want to look out for two particular tributes; The one suffering from prosopagnosia and the one unable to see.

• Lethe Turner
• Anya Crider
• Saskia Hamilton

The Dodecagons

Consisting of both district twelve tributes, the Dodecagons wanted to prove that District Twelve could pull out a victor for the fourth time. Sadly, neither tribute would make it past the second day.

• Jaime Maccon
• Dustin Summerfield

Bloodbath and Beyond

Ironically, one half of this alliance perished at the Cornucopia.

• Sebastian Miller
• Colan Raftor

The Bad Kids

While only containing two teens from actual designated career districts, The Bad Kids nevertheless established themselves as the fifty-eighth arena's threatening career pack, racking up a kill count of one-third of the tributes. All the members of TBK made the final eight and two of them made the final four. However, none of them reached the finale.

• Soyala Delaire
• Aenor Kembry
• Gage Cooper
• Seah Storstrand

That Alliance Over There (TOAT)

TOAT was largely considered the underdog alliance for the duration of the games, as big as The Bad Kids but not as skilled or lucky. They lost one member early on to a mutt attack and continued to run into trouble until all of them had died. Hawthorn managed to place in the top ten.

• Sylvania Legend
• Jupiter Vicks
• Ludwig Beilschimdt
• Hawthorn Fray

District Six Alliance

Half of this group died before they could do anything of note. The other, on the other hand, placed in the final five.

• Alikia Lombray
• Dicentra Gambler

Summer Rain

Another pairing of district partners, the members of Summer Rain fell all too soon, becoming the first and second victims of the Bloodbath.

• August Millory
• Alexander Martinez

Solo Tributes

Going through the arena without allies proves to be deadly for the fifty-eighth's few solitary tributes.

• Allen Hearst
• Raphale Grey
• Larae Vacanti

Alliances Formed Post Bloodbath

The Angel and the Demon

The boy from six joined up with the girl from seven, seeking redemption for his earlier failure to keep his district partner safe.

• Dicentra Gambler
• Noelle Pines

Leskor

Bringing together the orphaned mice and a troubled career, Leskor weathered many mutt attacks and still found time to start a budding romance. Two of them eventually faced off against each other in the finale; one would be crowned victor.

• Razor Creel
• Lethe Turner
• Saskia Hamilton

Timeline

Day 1

Bloodbath

Continuing the trend from previous games, few tributes died over the course of the battle at the Cornucopia.The fighting was slow,a combination of most tributes preferring to grab the bare minimum before fleeing,and a lack of strong attacks being landed upon enemies. Both tributes from District Eleven were brutally cut to pieces by The Bad Kids one after the other, right before the career pack also claimed the life of Sebastian Miller. Several other tributes attempted to gather items after this, each of whom received grievous wounds for their trouble and fled, leaving The Bad Kids to collect the Wealth unchallenged.

After the Bloodbath

Following the first fight, many alliances were separated or otherwise away from each other. While the career pack loaded up on supplies, Anya and Lethe searched in the marsh for their missing teammate. While they didn't find her, they came across the tributes from six. Though they were initially reluctant to fight other people so soon, the momma and the mouse retaliated full force when Alikia Lombray began shooting arrows at them. The battle was brief and ended with the latter's death on the edge of a knife. Her district partner was horrified, lashing out like a wounded animal until her killers had fled the scene, guarding the young girl's body from desecration. As the two girls fled the scene, two more entered it, both seeking a temporary alliance with Dicentra. He weighed the odds and decided to let Noelle and Larae accompany him. If only for a bit.

As Dicentra wrestled with his decisions, Ludwig Beilschimdt wrestled with a loss of his own. The boy from seven was lost in the marsh without his alliance or his left hand, having lost track of both during the flight at the Cornucopia. Ludwig eventually settled for tying his falchion to his arm, hoping that that act would keep it steady. Unbeknownst to him, the other three members of TOAT had all escaped relatively unscathed to the safety of the Light Jungle area and were wondering what had happened to him. Neither group would encounter further fighting through the remainder of the day. And that was largely because the remaining tributes were battling it out in the Shrublands.

Razor Creel, an unstable career from two with a thirst to prove himself had left the bloodbath to hunt the tributes from district twelve; the ones that he considered to be the only acceptable casualties. The male twelve, a boy named Dustin, fled as soon as he realized the career meant business, abandoning his teammate to get ganged up on by the arrival of Colan and Saskia, both on the run from the Cornucopia and both anxious to find supplies and allies. The three of them whittled away at Jaime Maccon until the noise attracted the attention of an odd pair of mutts. None of the tributes had ever seen an Ivory Hog before, let alone one accompanied by a Flying Meerkeeta. This proved to be too much for the girl from the mining district to handle and she drove her knife into her own heart, but not before screaming at her attackers and wishing them all a speedy demise.

In the desert, far away from prying eyes, Allen Hearst thought he was safe. That assumption proved wrong when a majestic sphinx flew down and tore his head completely off of his shoulders, taking the body part back to its cave and leaving the rest for the helicopter to carry back to the Capitol. The final tally of tribute deaths for the first day was only six, which was equal to one fourth of the tributes.

Day 2

The second day started with a bevy of mutt attacks to make up for the scant deaths of the previous day. Noelle Pines went temporarily blind due to a small but poisonous creature. Worried that this might leave her open to attack and freaking out over not being able to see, she lashed out blindy and struck Larae with her whip. Larae had chosen to travel with Noelle and Dice for protection but found only death in the form of the latter's sword. Having seen the whip slash across the girl from ten, Dicentra moved quickly and killed Larae by stabbing her in the chest. He didn't want to give her a chance to retaliate against the girl that reminded him of his fallen district partner.

Elsewhere in the Marsh, Ludwig found his allies all alive and well. This joy was cut short when a pair of Crocacondas slithered out of the muck and tore into Jupiter Vicks, killing her instantly. Her teammates continued to fight the abominations until the animals submerged in the muddy water and vanished without a trace. They would have said their farewells to the unfortunate career from four, but during the fight, her body had been washed away and hidden by the swamp surrounding them. A ways off in the Grassland, Dustin Summerfield encountered a Pitfall Lizard. Now, standard procedure when finding a Pitfall Lizard is to run like hell, but Dustin was wracked with guilt over leaving his ally behind to die as well as being malnourished. Feverishly and foolishly attacking it, he died not from blood loss, but from the poison tainted fangs of the dangerous reptile.

Other tributes decided to spend their time searching for supplies to stay ahead. Anya Crider and Lethe Turner went back to the Cornucopia, hoping that they might find something of value that the career pack might have overlooked. While they were successful in finding iodine tablets, they weren't the only ones looking for easy pickings. A hellhound, one of the genetically enhanced attack dogs that the gamemakers frequently utilized, had been attracted by the scent of death left over from the bloodbath and was prowling in the area. It viciously attacked Anya, killing her in less time than it took for Lethe to sob and run away.

The Bad Kids on the other hand, had their hands full with poisonous mutts of the feline variety. A pair of Dart Jaguars was no match for the careers and both animals were dealt with in short order. Poison held no meaning for the tributes able to procure antivenom and anything else they needed to stay on top of things. They even found time to hunt other tributes, something they did with relish. Aenor Kembry found a bloodied Raphale Grey standing over the body of Colan Raftor and dispatched the boy from five with ease. After taking his supplies, she rejoined her allies to attempt attacking the unlikely pairing of Razor and Saskia. The latter two had decided to travel together after the events of the previous day, with Razor debating returning the girl to her allies. They were attacked by a Guard Grenadillo which the blind girl quickly dispatched with a cooking pot. Razor was impressed, and having come to the conclusion that hehad never had a real relationship, kissed Saskia on a whim. To his surprise, they both enjoyed it and the seed of romance had been planted.

It was then that The Bad Kids launched an attack that failed to inflict any lasting damage. Razor and Saskia fled and the Bad Kids pledged to better from that point on.

Day 3

The third day began with a shift in alliances as Razor and Saskia found Lethe and the blind girl convinced the career to let the girl from five tag along. Razor agreed not to harm Lethe unless he had to, but was furious with her for leading the hound that killed Anya straight to their location; And this time it brought it's mate along. Razor quickly learned that the products he used to keep his skin silky smooth might have an unintended side effect, because the mutts only went for him. The three of them managed to kill the male mutt, before narrowly escaping the gnashing teeth of the female. Dicentra fared much better in the desert, killing a rampaging sphinx and suffering only minor wounds while keeping Noelle safe. Elsewhere, The Bad Kids battled TOAT for the title of biggest threat, even though they were a man down, not from death, but abandonment. Seah had left his allies behind when he realized they were a bunch of squabbling primadonna's who were probably going to wind up killing each other. Having the same number of allies did not help TOAT at all, and Ludwig fell, buying time for his friends to get away.

But all those fights paled in comparison to the battle of the century between Seah and the bunny named Wilson.

Things had started off easily enough for the career from four, killing a hog and harvesting its meat. It didn't take long for him to see that he had an audience in the form of a rabbit. For most of his life, Seah had been alone, and he figured that capturing the animal might give him someone to talk to. But Wilson wasn't going to give up his right to hop to his hearts content that easily. Wilson led Seah on a merry chase around the Grasslands, forcing the tribute to employ every means available to try and capture him. After stooping to throwing his whole body at the cotton-tailed fiend, Seah gave up and berated the rabbit for pretending to listen, before telling it to get lost. Sure, Seah had escaped with his life. But Wilson had taken his time, energy, and his pride.

Day 4

Following the events of the previous day, nearly all of the tributes managed to avoid running into one another, the only exceptions being Aenor and Sylvania. However, before either of them could land an attack, the latter was killed by an Ivory Hog and a Flying Meerkeeta that vanished as quickly as they had arrived. In another part of the Marsh, Hawthorn put aside his differences with Gage and Soyala in order for the three of them to survive a mutt attack. However, once the threat was over the boy from nine beat a hasty retreat for safer waters. Noelle and Dicentra thought they had found such waters at the Oasis, but soon after making a fire, they attracted death in the form of a hungry Pitfall Lizard. Noelle was quickly poisoned, but rather than let her ally try to save her she begged him to run, dying as she bought him time to escape. In the Shrublands, Razor debated killing his allies in their sleep, but ultimately decided against it, leading them across an area where they were lost parts of their feet to a pair of ravenous digitamoles. They managed to kill the offending mutts, but not before everyone but Lethe had been injured. Over in the Grasslands, Seah continued to wage a private war against tiny animals, finally catching Wilson the rabbit and beating it into a fine paste. Soon after, he fought a miniature steer that broke his hand. The pygmy cow fell to Seah's blade and he enjoyed the scant meal it provided.
