I thought I'd shake things up and try something new. OFFICIAL TRAINING REPORT FOR GAMEMAKER USE ONLY YEAR: 32 TRIBUTES: NAME: PRISCILLA PISCOT ONE FEMALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: RUNNING, ELECTRONICS, DAGGER, HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT SKILL ASSESSMENT: Priscilla was very good at running and jumping. Her electronics skills were unexpected, and though not as impressive as most Tributes from Three, were competent. She showed mastery with a dagger and her skill in combat was highly impressive. OTHER STRENGTHS: Priscilla showed enthusiasm in her session and will probably enjoy many sponsors. She's looking to avenge her brother, which may give her an edge in determination. WEAKNESSES: Priscilla failed to show the fierceness and thrill in violence that most Careers thrive on. She may be reluctant to kill when the time comes to fight other children. ODDS: 6:1 NOTES: Go girl! You got my vote! NAME: RAPTURE KAI ONE MALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: AXE, SPEAR, SURVIVAL SKILL ASSESSMENT: Rapture was competent with both his weapons, but spent more time on survival skills. He was able to make a fire and began constructing a shelter before time ran out. OTHER STRENGTHS: Rapture's preference for survival skills indicates strategy, planning, and intelligence. If he survives the Career breakup, he will most likely win. Like Priscilla, he seeks to avenge a fallen sibling, which may give him an advantage. WEAKNESSES: Rapture's comparative lack of weapons skills will make him a target for the other Careers. Rapture also isn't as brawny as the other Careers and is not as noticeable and likeable as Priscilla. He may have fewer sponsors. ODDS: 5:1 NOTES: Eh, you're all right. Could be worse. NAME: MARGARET CASPIAN TWO FEMALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: RUNNING, SWORD SKILL ASSESSMENT: Margaret ran full speed for three minutes without tiring. She showed mastery of her weapon. OTHER STRENGTHS: Margaret's strength shows itself more in a lack of offensiveness. She will most likely not cause trouble with her allies and will not be the first to instigate the breakup. WEAKNESSES: Psychological profile indicates bipolar disorder. Margaret may not attract sponsors due to her lack of memorability compared to Priscilla. ODDS: 7:1 NOTES: You're good, but I don't think it will be enough. NAME: ALEX MASON TWO MALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: SPRINTING, KNIVES SKILL ASSESSMENT: Alex's speed was higher than average and he showed minimal exhaustion. His skill with knives was much higher than average even for a Career. OTHER STRENGTHS: None noted. WEAKNESSES: Alex seems to be a typical brutish Career. He may not have the cunning to outlast the Career Pack. ODDS: 8:1 NOTES: I think I already forgot who you are. NAME: WYATT SPARKS THREE MALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: ELECTRONICS, BIRD CALLS, MAGIC TRICKS SKILL ASSESSMENT: Wyatt was competent at electronics and bird calls. He was excellent at magic tricks, though this may not prove useful. OTHER STRENGTHS: Wyatt's enthusiasm and sense of humor will surely gain him sponsors. WEAKNESSES: Wyatt does not take the Games as seriously as he should. He lacks physical power and may be naive. ODDS: 20:1 NOTES: How did you do that? NAME: EMMELINE BLYTHE THREE FEMALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: ELECTRONICS, CLIMBING SKILL ASSESSMENT: Emmeline was able to construct a simple electrocution device capable of deterring but not killing an opponent. Her climbing skills were above average. OTHER STRENGTHS: Innocent appearance may win sponsors. WEAKNESSES: Emmeline is lightly built and will not be able to defend herself in close combat. She did not demonstrate skills sufficient to prove she is a threat. ODDS: 48:1 NOTES: I got nothing. NAME: WHYTE ROBERTS FOUR MALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: RUNNING, DAGGER, TRIDENT, THROWING KNIVES SKILL ASSESSMENT: Whyte was a competent runner. His skills with the dagger and trident were formidable, while his knife throwing skills seemed like an afterthought. He tended to wander between skills with little coherence. OTHER STRENGTHS: Whyte's friendship with his District partner will gain them sponsors. Whyte indicated he was an excellent swimmer. WEAKNESSES: Whyte showed inability to concentrate and was easily frustrated. Whyte suffers from hay fever. ODDS: 8:1 NOTES: Hope you and Vera aren't the last ones. NAME: VERA BUSATTIL FOUR FEMALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: BOW, TRIDENT, KATANA, BAYONET, MARTIAL ART, SURVIVAL SKILL ASSESSMENT: Vera showed marked skill in weapons, though she did not have time to show her full knowledge in any weapon due to her wide range. Her survival skills were rudimentary. OTHER STRENGTHS: Sponsors due to friendship, wide range of abilities. WEAKNESSES: Vera's performance indicated lack of focus and short attention span. ODDS: 8:1 NOTES: Same as Whyte. NAME: ADAIR OUTRIDGE FIVE MALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: EDIBLE PLANTS SKILL ASSESSMENT: Adair showed caution and did not select as edible any plants he was unsure of. Though he may overlook some sources of food, he will not poison himself. OTHER STRENGTHS: Adair will not be the Careers' first target due to his forgettableness. WEAKNESSES: Adair lacks confidence and seemed resigned in his session. ODDS: 50:1 NOTES: Yeah, I'd be sad too. NAME: SKY LEVINGS FIVE FEMALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: BOMB-MAKING SKILL ASSESSMENT: Sky was very good at making bombs. She constructed two in the five minutes given. They were necessarily small, but given more time, she will deliver. OTHER STRENGTHS: Sky volunteered, which means she is confident and determined. Her alliance will also aid her. WEAKNESSES: Sky volunteered, which means she is arrogant and possibly narcissistic. She lacks physical strength and may be a Bloodbath target. ODDS: 23:1 NOTES: Why? I hope you know what you're doing. NAME: YASMINE JACKSON SIX FEMALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: EDIBLE PLANTS, SURVIVAL SKILL ASSESSMENT: Yasmine was able to identify six edible plants and also selected a mildly poisonous one.

NAME: HABER DASHER EIGHT FEMALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT, KNIVES SKILL ASSESSMENT: Haber employed a berserker style of attack and was able to overwhelm the level two sparring partner with a barrage of random blows. OTHER STRENGTHS: Haber is very determined, as long as her opponent is male. She refused to fight the female sparring partner. WEAKNESSES: Haber will surely attack opponents far stronger than she is. She will not get any male sponsors. ODDS: 64:1 NOTES: Dang, what did a man do to you?

NAME: BARLEY STURRIDGE NINE MALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: SCYTHE SKILL ASSESSMENT: Barley was unconfident with his scythe and reluctant to attack.

NAME: ELARA ANGELO TWELVE FEMALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: TRAPS, SWORD SKILL ASSESSMENT: Elara's traps were geared toward providing food, but may also ensnare opponents. She displayed beginning skill with a sword. OTHER STRENGTHS: Due to her District, she most likely doesn't need much food. WEAKNESSES: Quick-tempered, not likely to gain sponsors. ODDS: 35:1 NOTES: You're pretty but not a Victor. NAME: BEN DOVER TWELVE MALE SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: AXE SKILL ASSESSMENT: Ben was okay with an axe. That was all he showed. OTHER STRENGTHS: Alliance WEAKNESSES: Slight limp from getting shot in the foot. ODDS: 40:1 NOTES: Ben Dover? Is your brother named Hugh Jass? FORWARD TO HEAD GAMEMAKER EXSEQUIA EXIL SIGNED, THEODORA HARP I don't know how sports odds work, so I made it up. 24:1 would mean a Tribute is exactly average with an average chance to win. 6:1 means a one-in-six shot of winning, which would be really good. 48:1 means half the average chance of winning. Theodora won't be perfectly accurate, since she can't see things like intelligence and creativity. Also, some Tributes have skills they didn't show, like Dominique practiced a little with a sword.
