Cesar Flapjack

> "*With that, Cesar embraces all their friends gathered together in a group hug, and send those who couldn't join them all the well wishes they can muster. They pour every ounce of energy, every ounce of **love** they have left into that hug, hoping they can carry on their legacy, and continue making the world the place it was meant to be."*

### Overview

Cesar Flapjack was one of the original Gamemakers, in addition to Casca Highbottom, Faunus Lucio, Amy Flynn, and Noodles. The first District 6 Female in the Pretest, they went on to be the GM of Districts 4 through 6 in the first games, then Districts 6 through 7 in the second games. Following the second games and the death of Gamemaker Noodle, they became the Head of Mapmaking, a position they held until their death after the sixth games.

### Early Life

Not much is known about the early life of Cesar Flapjack, as they awoke with amnesia in a burned field. Shortly thereafter, they were greeted by Casca Highbottom who informed them of the Dark Days and what that meant for the country. They continued on with Casca, eventually helping him rebuild Panem and became a Gamemaker.

It was during this time Cesar Flapjack received their name, as they did not remember anything other than basic functions after awakening. Casca Highbottom commented on the slightly eccentric and outgoing personality Cesar had, which reminded him of Caesar Flickerman, a former television personality who passed away during the Dark Days. Cesar Flapjack misunderstood what Casca said, but they liked the name and donned their new personality.

### Life

#### *First Games*

After partaking in the Pretest, Cesar went on to be the Gamemaker to Districts 4-6. Unlike Casca, Amy, and Faunus, they were not made aware of the treatment of the original tributes until after their death, as they were preoccupied with the arena and treating their amnesia.

#### *Second Games*

During the second games, they were tasked with training the new Gamemakers, Gap Prodigal and Tooth Basso, as well as being the GM to Districts 6-7.

#### *Third Games*

Following the death of their wife Noodles, Cesar became the second Head of Mapmaking, and planned the popular 3rd Games Arena. Many have said it was one of the best arena's Cesar ever created, due to the complexity of different zones and special travel mechanics.

#### *Fourth Games*

Trying out a new style of mapmaking, Cesar created a complex map with paths, lighting mechanics that affected tribute maps, and temperature zones. This was also the first arena Cesar created watercolor art for, which they continued to do through the Fifth games.

#### *Fifth Games*

Rebel angst was brewing, but the Gamemakers did not realize to what extent until they were attacked in GM Headquarters with planted rebel bombs. Cesar had left the building shortly after their meeting to think about the Fifth Games arena, when the building exploded. Due to their proximity to glass windows, glass shrapnel flew into their left eye, blinding them permanently. During the post interview, they originally fainted, but came back to consciousness later.

   They continued planning the Fifth Games arena with the assistance of Miles "Passan" Prater, their newly reincarnated assistant. In addition they helped train the new generation of Gamemakers, including Capri Eastfield.

On the Capitol Cruise, after the second rebel attack, they assisted Capri and others to the deck of the ship, helping them escape safely.

After the Fifth Games, as Cesar, Casca, Gap, and Miles, Cesar revealed to Miles that they were intending to retire shortly, and that he was going to be next in line for Head of Mapmaking department. This also served as Miles' induction into the Gamemaker Division.

#### *Sixth Games*

With their health starting to decline, Cesar handed over the majority of their duties to the newly inducted Gamemaker, Miles Prater, who was the next in line as Head of Mapmaking.

### Death

After the death of their wife, Noodles, Cesar started to give up on life, possibly due to a broken heart. At the same time, their amnesia started to fade away, bringing back memories of their former life. This gave Cesar a general estimate of their age, and made their body start deteriorating. While Panem was home to the best medicine and technology of the time, Cesar's ailments were beyond their understanding and could only be treated. During this time, Cesar suffered several more injuries due to rebel attacks, causing their illness to increase in strength.

After 3 years of suffering, Cesar received news from Dr. Fowchi that they were going to die soon, and decided rather than die in a hospital alone, to die in their favorite place with their favorite people. As such, they gathered their friends, which included Neijing Llandica, Amelie, Axel Wilder, Tooth Blasso, Capri Eastfield, Miles Passan, Amy Flynn, Gap Prodigal, and Casca Highbottom. After heartfelt conversations, the sun started to set, blinding the friends in attendance. When they turned back, they saw Cesar had disappeared, seemingly moved on to the afterlife.

It is later revealed that Noodles had been waiting for Cesar since their death, and with Cesar dying and joining them, the couple moved on to the afterlife together. However, on occasion Cesar will slip down in ghost form and converse with the people of Panem.

### Afterlife

While Cesar is dead, they occasionally make trips to the Capitol and districts of Panem to visit various places and people. Among those include the Gamemaker Headquarts, occasional bars in the Districts, and to their favorite bakery in Panem. When Cesar returns to Panem, minor chaos can be expected to ensue, as they enjoy causing general mischief and have self-titled themself as a poltergeist.
