the plot Shortly after the emergence of Super Heroes in to modern society, tragedy struck. A mass extinction event brought on by nuclear warfare, which even the Supers were unable to prevent, caused the loss of all non-supers and left the world in chaos. The remaining world leaders band together to create the country of Panem. Under their guidance, the Districts were created with the center of the new world being the Capital. However, some citizens were not happy with the current living conditions. They were Heroes, after all.
Thirty one years ago, the districts rebelled against their saviors. The Capital did not take kindly to this uprising. Thirteen districts entered, and only twelve returned. As punishment for their disgrace, the Capital began the Hunger Games: a competition pitting the children of each district against each other in order to gain fame, riches, and most importantly, the right to live. Every year, twenty four young men and women enter the arenas, and only one will survive.
With the first Quarter Quell still fresh in their minds, the Citizens of Panem have no wish to revolt, and any talk of it is unheard of. Even the strong simply wish to survive another year. Though traditional heroes no longer exist, the superpowers are still prevalent in society, making the games ever changing and more intense each year. The Thirty-First annual Hunger Games is about to begin.
may the odds be ever in your favor.
