I. Districts

Okay, in this chapter I will be discussing more in depth what each district provides and clichés that authors often use when they create OCs.

District 1

Members of District 1 were known to produce luxury items such as jewelry. Due to their skill in craftsmanship, the goods that came out of District 1 were used to decorate the Capitol. Those who lived in District 1 were some of the wealthiest citizens of Panem. Tributes from District 1 were known as "Careers" because they trained for years before competing in the Hunger Games.

District 1 females:

I always have so much to say about this
tribute. It is such an underused role. Listen to me, it's not a crime to make this tribute at least somewhat bearable! Usually they are flirtatiously shallow and pathetic and always self absorbed and have to be 'sexy' to cover up the fact that they're not good at weapons. They are most of the time the lowest scoring of the Careers. Their preferred weapons always seems to be a dagger, continuing with the 'silly & shallow girly' narrative. They are also probably the least likable of all the tributes, and always seem to die the most undignified deaths before anyone else in the Career pack. Often killed off by mutts or their own allies if they don't die in the bloodbath. Arguably the most overused and prominent stereotype. District 1 females can be very smart and deadly, I mean look at Cashmere, a canon character that doesn't follow these stereotypes. Don't just make up a stereotypical blondie who dies first in the Games. Those
fanfictions also tend to be more boring and lacking
of expertise writing skill. I have personally seen three different fanfictions have a girl from 1 named Diamond who dies early on. If you are planning to kill off your girl from District 1, try to develop her more and plan the death at a reasonable time. It would be unreasonable if every girl from 1 died off in the bloodbath. Try to stay away from mutts, since because of Glimmer the entire population is stereotyped to such deaths.

District 1 males:

These tributes always tend to have a direct death wish on the other players, and are generally characters with little to no backstory. They almost always seem to be snobbish, self-centered, and egotistical to the point of being pathetic. Sometimes fangirls even make them like a laid-back and flirty/charming version of Cato. Please stop that. Also, they almost always have a victor family and end up disgracing their entire family by losing. That is unrealistic; there are way too many of these really. They also have mostly violent, bloody deaths though they always die after their district partner. District 1 Male is usually portrayed as a cowardly bully, intimidating outside the arena but wouldn't last a day once they go in. A common pet peeve is how because of how Marvel killed Rue fans would have them kill the protagonist's often twelve year old ally and then be killed by the protagonist for revenge. This is literally a boring copy of the 74th HG and no one likes that. Instead try to develop this more and add details. You may use mutts on this, since it is rarely seen in the fandom.

District 2

Located in the Rocky Mountains, District 2 was one of the largest communities in Panem. It was also home to wealthy citizens, resulting in a positive relationship with the Capitol. District 2 was known for its masonry and weapon manufacturing. In Mockingjay, it was revealed that the Capitol's army of Peacekeepers trained in District 2. It was one of the career districts, being close to the Capitol.
