Katniss Everdeen was sixteen years old when her twelve year old sister Prim was reaped as the female tribute for District 12, in the 74th Annual Hunger Games. When Katniss volounteers, she and male tribute Peeta Mellark are whisked away with twenty two tributes from the other eleven Districts, to the Capitol, where the elite of Panem live and rule. After that small amount of time, they are whisked off to the arena, where there only rule is to fight to the death.
Imagine the book beginning the exact same- Prim being reaped, Katniss and Peeta being tributes, all the same tributes and Careers (Rue, Clove, Cato etc) with one major difference- magic.
Every citizen of Panem is a witch or wizard, and your only weapon in the Games is your wand. Poorer Districts would never have been taught to use their wands, but the Careers would have been taught carefully from childhood.
How would this change affect the Games- and it's outcome?

Katniss Everdeen is the lowest of the low as the hierarchy of Panem citizenship tends to go. After facing the minimal education (none of which included training in magic), she became the provider for her family, and began to hunt illegally with her friend Gale Hawthorne.
When she was sixteen, and her sister Prim was twelve; Prim was reaped as the District 12 female tribute. So Katniss volounteered, and along with male tribute Peeta Mellark, was sent to the Capitol for a brief training session.
It was her first time holding a wand- 12"inches, yew (ironically, the wood of the Hanging Tree) with phoenix heartstring- and of course, her first time actually using one. She had a natural knack for it, probably from her precision with bows and arrows.
She was anxious to get bows and arrows at the Cornucopia, though, for fear of her wand failing.

About
Being raised in one of the poorest Districts in Panem, Thresh was not raised with the same training as those in other districts. In fact he probably recieved less than most because he could not afford to leave his sick Grandmother. He grew up to become a young man with hardly any literary skills, let alone he was not able to speak properly due to his lack of access to others. This was obviously extremely hard for Thresh to deal with, so occasionally he would steal his Grandmother's wand and use it in the forests. blasting everything in sight. His pent up anger would give his spells the deadly equivalent to a Reductor or Bombarda curse, with his terrifying appearance and phsyique produce a certain effect of fear in his opponents, and anyone for that matter.

{And who do you think you are?} Full Name: Lily May Burnett Nickname: May or Lilz Age: 14 DoB: 12th August PoB: District 4 PoR: District 4/The arena Blood: Pureblood Occupation: Career Relationship Status: Hehehe Weapons: Bow and arrow, snares, throwing knives

{Collecting your jar of hearts?} Mother: Helen Burnett (nee Thomas) Father: George Burnett— Deceased Brothers: Peter Burnett Sister: Samantha Burnett
{And tearing love apart?}
Lily May Burnett was born at home, in her parents’ bedroom, the youngest of three. She spent most of her spare time learning to swim at one of the many, many beaches in her District, and practicing with knives and bows and arrows (and a few curses), her speciality in Career training. Lily never struggled with school, because she had a ready, quick brain, but in her next-to-last year of primary school, she just gave up trying. The girl decided that lessons wouldn’t help her in life ahead. Instead, she worked hard in training, knowing that it, unlike school, would come in handy.
At the age of twelve, Lily meant to volunteer as Tribute in the Hunger Games but, when the time came, was too nervous to volunteer, and just stood shaking. That year, one of her best friends died after just one day in the games. That scared her. So she carried on as normal, trying not to cry when she remembered him. The next year, she was too nervous again, but nobody she knew was reaped. She hated herself for being such a coward, and made up her mind to volunteer the next year.
That year, she was extremely determined and when her older sister’s name was called, immediately Lily volunteered. She was literally shaking as she went up to the podium, wand clutched tightly in her sweaty palm as she choked out her name, trying hard not to cry.
{Who do you think you are?}
Lily is a very sly character, and can be very determined when she wants to, like during the reaping. Nobody at home dares cross her for fear of one of her mad temper tantrums. When she dislikes someone, Lily dislikes them bad. She plays sly tricks to get her revenge, in a very sneaky way.

Name: Roland Chestnut
Age: 17
District: 7
Blood Status: Pureblood
Wand: 11 inches Blackthorn with Unicorn Hair Core
Hair: Brown
Eye Colour: Grey
Skin: Pale
Height: 1.83m
Build: Tall, extremely skinny but fit and muscular
Strengths: Excellent runner and superb at climbing trees. Ever since the age of ten he knew how to use an axe and a blade (he also knows a few spells).
Weaknesses: He's hydrophobic (because of an accident, he almost drowned in the river next to his house at the age of 7) therefore he can't swim, and he prefers not to be around any lakes or rivers. He also has some hearing problems but he doesn't really mind them.
A Little History: Roland was born at District 7. He lives with his mother, Holly Chestnut, father, Noah Chestnut, and 13 year old sister, Pine Chestnut. His family isn't the poorest family but not the richest. By the age of nine he began working and the sawmill (most of the spells he knows he learnt from, since they were allowed sometimes to use magic at work, but they usually worked with their hands). Even though started working at a very early age he never dropped-out of school, but he never succeeded academically. Sadly, his best and only friend died last year at the Hunger Games, which is the reason the only person he talks to anymore is mainly his dad, but sometimes also his mum and sister.
Personality: Roland is a loner, he doesn't usually talk to people he isn't really close with (like family), but he had one friend from school and work (who sadly died last year at the Hunger Games). Roland lives in his own world he doesn't always understand what's going around him, probably because of his hearing problems, but ever since the age of 15 he began coming down to earth. He loves exploring the woods of his district, alone of course, and climbing onto the tallest trees, and sometimes when no one's around he jumps from tree to tree.

Oooooooh can I have a female from District 3?
Edit: WOOT, thankin' you!
SPOILER!!: Biobiobio
Name: Ainsley Piper Age: 16 District: 3 Blood Status: Pureblood DoB: 17th April Wand: 12 1/2 inch Dragon Apple (Swishy)
Strengths:
Ainsley is a hell of a strong. She has been tough all her life, ever since the rebellion in her district. She has a very good aim with knives, daggers, etc... She also duels frequently with her father. Weaknesses:
Compassion. The main worry Ainsley has about The Hunger Games, is being faced with a twelve year old child with innocence all over, knowing she'll have to kill them. If people show to be jerks, she has no problem with the kills.
History:
District 3 used to be known as one of the more rich of Districts, and Ainsley's family were no different. Her father manufactured computers and her mother helped sell their produce to consumers. Ainsley is an only child. Her parents swore they would never have children, due to the annual reaping, but she was an accident. Both parents made sure that they were infertile from that moment on. The rebellion in the district changed everyone's lives, and most people became poor very quickly. In a sense, Ainsley's family were lucky because her father was a very skilled electronic builder, and he kept his job securely.
The day of the reaping, everyone was nervous. Ainsley prepared herself for the worst every year, but this year, the nightmare finally came true. It was Ainsley who would represent District 3 in the 74th Annual Hunger Games.
Personality:
Ainsley is a tough person, who puts trust in almost nobody. Living in Panem would do that to anyone, in her opinion. Despite having loyalty to her district, she knew that most people were rebels. And she even considered herself to be one at times. She occasionally hunts. Not because her family need food or money, but because she wants to be sure that she can handle anything thrown at her. Like, the Hunger Games, for example. One of her many talents, is being false. She can switch on a friendly and likable person in a second, then tear out your hair. She uses it in her hunting, by petting a fox and doting over it, then spearing it. It is a tactic she will use in the games.
Does she think she has a chance of winning? Of course. She wouldn't toughen herself up if she wasn't going to fight for victory. Her main goals is to knock out the Careers, as District one and two are their rivals.
SPOILER!!: Ainsley!WarriorPrincess

District six male
Name: Jacob Strider
Age: 15
District: 6
DoB: 19 May
Wand: 11 3/4, cedar, snidget feather, a bit swishy.
Strengths
He is very fast. He is not very strong, but still is a bit strong from transporting things around. He has been training in various excersices by sneaking out into the wild a lot. He lifted logs, hunted, made arrows, and camoflauged himself.
Weaknesses
He isn't the best person under pressure. If he were to do some of the stuff he does in private in front of an audience, he'd probably mess up on half the stuff he would do. He isn't that good at sneaking around. He almost got caught several times trying to go out to practice.
History
He comes from a long line of victors, and losers. Almost everyone in his family has been picked for the tribute for his district. So he wasn't so surprised when he got picked. He heard a lot of people saying that f he got picked he wouldn't last the first ten minutes in. They would also say that he would be the first one to be killed. Almost everyone he knew would put there money on the girl tribute to the district. So he got prepared just in case that he would get picked. Every day if he got tired of something he'd force himself to keep on moving because there is no time outs in the game. He's going to show everyone in hs district that he can win.
Personality
He is very easy to tick off. He's like a time bomb about ready to explode. He's trying to keep all that energy inside of him until the games. Once the games start he's going to put the pedal to medal, and shw everybody what he can do. He does have a soft side to him. You can not bs him though. People that try to make a alliance with him just to backstab him, will be on the ground or beggining they never did that. He won't show any mercy to someone who would do that.
Does he think he will win. Of course he does. He doesn't think he knows. He's going to prove to his district that they were wrong about saying he would lose. He's going to win this to prove to everybody he can win. He's also doing this to keep his family line going.

A'right!! So we're finally staring I know I've been putting it off, but I'm lazy anyway, I'm going to skip the reaping and train, because frankly, that part's boring and the characters can't really interact (plus if there's no one playing the other tribute from your district it's not very fair). So we're going to begin at the Capitol on the night they get there, and Seneca Crane has decided to hold a feast/ball with all the tributes so they can get to know each other etc. This will last until this time next week approximately
Seneca Crane sat at a table at the head of the Capitol banquet hall. It was a large room witha glass domed ceiling, and on the white walls there were frescoes representing the twelve districts- diamonds, tools, electronics, fishing, power, transportation, lumber, textiles, grain, livestock agriculture and coal mining. In the centre of the domed ceiling was a large cursive 'C' to represent the Capitol
Running a pale finger along his swirling beard he gave his wand a flick and they twelve indigo doors along the walls burst open, allowing the tributes in. He sta back, and smiled.
Katniss Everdeen was not comfortable in her outfit. The skirt was too short, the shoes were too high, the make up was too definite. She knew how she felt- Capitolish. She waited outside the doors with Peeta, trying to avoid his eye. Her dress made her look like a peacock, and she felt stupid in it.
She could feel something cold and hard inside her chest, pressing against her heart. She turned her back to Peeta quickly, and pulled out the small metal item, and she gasped when she realised what it was. The Mockingjay pin. Cinna had obviously snuck it in, and this way Snow wouldn't see it, but the other tributes would. She fastened it outside of her dress and felt a burst of confidence.
At that moment, the doors swung open and a grand domed room was revealed, with tables of food and floor space. She scowled, until her eyes fell on to the lamb stew. She looked up. Her last chance to not be under the Capitol's eye. She took Peeta's hand, and together they entered the room.

Ainsley Piper gave herself one final hard stare in the mirror of her room before making her way to the feast. She had done her own make-up, and asked for a simple hairstyle, and that's what she got. The dress was chosen for her but she personally loved it. The girl had no idea where the other tribute from District three was, nor did she care. She stood behind the huge doors and took a quick breath. This would be the first time she will properly see her opponents. The people that will soon try to kill her at any given opportunity.
But she'd smile, get to be liked. The doors swung open and the room looked quite remarkable, but that was very expected from a place like The Capitol. Ainsley lifted up her dress as she walked towards the table.
Her eyes travelled to a few of the other tributes but didn't linger for long. She didn't know whether to smile, narrow her eyes, or glare. This was all very overwhelming.

Peeta had been thrown into a nice suit like nothing he ever dreamed he would wear. And there Katniss was too and she looked breath taking in her lovely Peacock dress. But the reason they were both here almost made him want to puke. He looked into Katniss's eyes just before they entered the grand hall. The doors opened and he saw the most amazing place he had ever set his eyes on. He went in with Katniss and she took his hand. He suddenly felt happy and smiled. For this moment all thoughts of doom left his head and chose to enjoy this moment while it lasted.
Roland didn't want to go to this feast, he knew that seeing the other tributes is important, he could actually meet them and see them or even form already an alliance with one, but he doubted that he would have the courage to do so. Personally, he preferred to stay in his fancy room until the games shall begin.
He was wearing a brown tight suit and a sparkling green tie, probably they gave him these colours because of his district. District Seven. Ohhh... home, he missed it so much already, probably if he was at home, he and his family would be eating a normal dinner and he would be wearing normal clothes, unlike this revolting tight suit. For a moment he wondered what is his family doing right now, are they crying? Are they trying to live normally even though their oldest child is probably going to die??? He quickly erased these thoughts of home from his head, they aren't helping him, they're only making things worst. Roland took a deep breathe. He still preferred being in his 'room', pouring all the tears he has onto his pillow, knowing that he's going to die, and will never see his dad and family again. Before letting the tears spill out and ruin his suit, like he cared, the doors opened.
"Impressive," the boy mumbled, it was a very nice room, better than any room he had ever seen in his live. Never in his live, he imagined a ceiling to be domed, but this is the Capitol, everything here is unusual, fancy and unimaginable. Seriously, who wears tight suits??? Only men from the Capitol. At he least they didn't dye his hair, into any unusual Capitol colour. Ughhhh...
Roland stepped into the room, the two tributes from District twelve were aready there. Usually the tributes from District 12 look dead even before the games, and usually die at the first fifteen seconds of the game, but the girl tribute ,surprisingly, looked pretty tough. Still, the boy looked like he was half way into the grave, but he too can surprise. He looked at both of them for a few seconds and maybe let out a small friendly smile, but turned his head away looking at the other tributes entering the room. The girl from District three caught his eye, she looked dashing in that dress, he almost walked towards her, but something told him not to, she looked like a back-stabber, and he shouldn't befriend a back-stabber, because at his room he thought of strategy that could help him survive the game. Even though the chances that it would work were zero.
Jacob Strider wasn't to happy about how he had to go to this feast. He didn't want to go. He just wanted to sit in his room and get some rest. He didn't get any sleep on the train from the nightmares he was having. He looked around to see who his ooponents were. They didn't look so tough. This was going o be easy. All I have to do is cast saome advanced spells and then there we go I win Jacob thought. He wasn't going to have a hard time killing the girl from his district though. He never met her, but he still wouldn't want to kill her that easily. If shes begs for death because of some agonizing pain then he will. That would be a whole different story.
Once he walked in he wasn't going to say much. If he got dragged into a conversation then he would try to find away out of it. He just sat down, and waited for the other tributes to arrive. One thing he didn't like about hi suit was it was to tight, and it was itchy like hell. He was surprised he lasted this long in that blasted thing.

Rue waited, somewhat nervously, in her room. She had looked around and it was definitely nicer than anything she'd ever seen before, but she hadn't moved from one spot since entering the room. She sat upon the bed, hands folded in her lap, touching the taffeta of her dress's skirt. The top was pure silk, and around her waist was a large bow. The whole thing was turquoise, her favourite colour. It fell to her knees in ruffles, slightly puffed out to make her look less skinny. She hadn't eaten well, particularly in the month or so before the Reaping, as food supplies were running a little lower than usual. Rue wasn't hungry in this place though.
Rue sighed and placed her head in her hands, careful not to displace the cute head piece she was wearing. Her hair had been tightly braided down into two braids to make room for it. It was the same shade of turquoise as her dress and consisted of four skinny head bands of sorts that connected to a point down by her ear. Each of the four skinny bands was spread an inch apart from the next on the top of her head, all adorned with miniature versions on the bow on her dress. Personally, she thought her outfit was perfect, so she couldn't understand why she was feeling so very nervous and frightened.

Dude. The Pensevies aint got nothing on you. Aslan is the God
Glimmer was an arrogant girl. She came from district one, and was one of the hottest ones there (in her opinion), and she was going to survive. She was a career, she'd been trained to kill and kill she would. No one would get in her way, certainly not Marvel. They'd never really been that close in training, and certainly weren't going to start bonding then. She wasn't a sap, who just swapped sides. That was, unless it kept her alive. Then she'd happily swap. Everything was about number one for her, and she lived by it. That was why, she'd chosen her dress. It drew attention, was bold, emphasised every curve. Made her stand out. That was what you had to do to survive, stand out.
There was one other reason for her choice of attire. This was the night where everyone met for the first time, and it was always better to get allies earlier on in the games than later. She'd seen who were the district 2 tributes, and this had attributed to her choice of dress. She wanted to look desirable, she'd seen it enough times, allegiances formed through a mutual attraction which broke down in the last moment. That was all she needed. She was the best after all.
Glimmer stood waiting, arms folded, heeled shoes tapping impatiently. She wasn't a good waiter, but whilst she'd been waiting, she'd been trying to find the other tributes. Her district 2 allies had been of the least interest to her though, as she knew they'd practically be next door. As the doors, opened Glimmer rolled her eyes at the reactions of the other tributes, but even she was a little impressed by the grandeur and scale of the room, and instead went straight to the table, eyes inspecting the food in front of her

Celeste didnt want to be here, she didnt want to go to a feast...She wanted to be at home with her family with the textiles...But what could she do about it...She didnt even know who the male tribute was for her district...Sighing she left her room and walked over to the door for District 8. She looked around looking for the other tribute from her district...
She loved her dress, it was pretty. She loved her jewlery, she loved how she looked. She even loved the shoes. She looked around ready to meet the other tributes and find their weakness and maybe make an ally...As the doors opened she stepped back a little and then entered...The room was like nothing she had everseen before. She straightened out her dress and looked around..
Marvel just stood there with that arrogant look on his face. He thought the idea of the games was entertaining and was happy to be ,not only here to kill but to win. He was sure he was going to win, he was a career and careers always won. And most of those winners came from District 1, even better! He had even met some of the victors before the competition and he had to be like them, brutal, arrogant and ready to kill. For a sudden he thought of Glimmer. He had normally known her as that pretty girl. He had liked her from the first time they had met. Too bad she probably had a boyfriend.
As the doors opened Marvel looked down at himself. He was wearing a nice, expensive tuxedo with a rose in one of his shirt pockets and a very flamboyant head gear thing. He had no idea why he had it there but it looked great on him so why not? If he was struggling which he wouldn't but if he was sponsors could give him things. He looked up at the room. It wasn't great his room felt bigger. Wasn't a hall or whatever meant to be bigger? It apparently was but since the people from that Capitol lacked what he liked then no.
He looked at every other tribute. They were all very dull and ugly in their weird costumes. Well besides Glimmer she looked pretty as per usual. He expected there would be a ton of sponsors for her. As he looked at the everyone else again he silently muttered "Ugly." None of them looked as good as him or even Glimmer.

The feast? Huh. Did it important to him? Cato was not a fan of feast. He looked forward for the training. He missed his sword and he wanted to show that He was strong and dangerous. But as a tribute, he must be here. Maybe he could know who were the tributes from the other district. Huh, They looked very weak! Cato was sure that he could beat them easily. He had been trained for years. People would know him as Career tributes, and like as not the winner will be one of them: himself.
Oh, Cato spotted the tributes from district 1. Should he meet them now? Or later? Maybe he would wait for Clove first and they would be allies. Where was her?

Thresh was feeling uncomfortable. He'd been resistant to go to the feast in the first place, it was a social event of sorts and Thresh was not used to those things, the suit he'd been dressed up in was extremely stiff and too tight so his muscles seemed to bulge underneath the clothes. He looked around at all the other tributes, sizing them up, they were all his enemies after all. He wasn't going to make any alliances, that was what they wanted. The Capitol wanted. He wasn't giving them anything, underneath all of the bloodshed what did the Capitol really have? It made him uneasy thinking about it really.
But he wasn't going to let the uncomfortableness show. He wasn't going to let the Capitol get to him. He wasn't going to let them win... Not now... Not ever.

Oh no! Things were starting to get intimidating, more tributes entered the room, each one scarier than the other. The two tributes from district one look like they will get all the sponsors, the guy from district two was the most frightening tribute he had ever seen and the boy from district eleven, looks he can kill each tribute already on the first day. Chances of winning are getting even smaller. And the fact that everyone in the room were silence wasn't making things easier.
Roland was going to be dead meat, unless he gets an axe and the arena is a forest full of trees, but even then chances of winning were small. The boy walked towards a weird looking chair, at least he thought it was chair, at the corner of the room, he sat on it, not wanting to grab someone attention, and waited for something to happen that would break the silence.
Rue had walked very quickly and quietly into the room with the other tributes. She was certain no one had noticed her enter or climb into the perch she was currently sitting in. There was a lower part of the ceiling that had several beams running across it, all of which were easy to get to if you could climb like she could. So, when she entered the room, she darted over to that part of the room and began climbing, melting into the ceiling. Well, trying to, considering the ceiling wasn't turquoise. She decided she would come down if anybody called for her, which she thought would be unlikely unless the Capitol officials had somethings planned.
