"*It’s the land of the future. We are responsible for all the technology that makes Panem as great as it is, after all... I’d tell you more about what we have in the works, but then I’d have to kill you.*"
―Archibald Cognum, 6th District 3 Male Tribute
District 3 is one of the thirteen districts of Panem. It's main industry is Technology, which it provides through the work of its skilled engineers and technicians. One of the more wealthier districts, it was once a leader in the first rebellion but has since resigned itself to being one of Panem's most vital assets and a technological powerhouse.

## History

### Pre-Panem Era

Spared from the worst of the climate disaster, the former Rust Belt region in the United States became a haven for climate refugees. The cold weather provided relief from the fires and heat that ravaged the south, and access to fresh water proved valuable in a world besieged by water shortages. However, in the wake of floods, and natural calamities along the east and west coast, the survivors heading inland were met with resistance from local governments. The influx of refugees into the region exceeded the capacity of the region's infrastructure to sustain a large number of refugees, leading to the deaths of thousands and displacement of many more.

Having retained some semblance of stability from former state governments, the region adopted an isolationist policy against outsiders. The states within the Rust Belt would secede from the already weakened United States union, instigating hostilities that would result in a resource war in the years following their secession.

### Dark Days Era

Functioning as the third leader in the hierarchy of the rebellion, District 3 was a prevalent member in the uprising against the Capitol during the Dark Days. Discontentment with production quotas and resentment over federal policies limiting the district's industries and rising cost of goods led them to join District 13's rebellion. Significant amounts of technology utilized in the war effort against the Capitol were both invented and constructed within the district.

Rebels hailing from District 3 were well known to be scrappy in a fight and viciously creative in the face of Peacekeeper forces. They were not the physical embodiment of the perfect soldier, with many being wiry and underfed, yet, they embodied the ideals of the rebellion—survival by any means. Pyromania was a noticeable trait among the citizens during the Dark Days, still observable today. Technicians and robotics engineers created improvised explosives that could take out swathes of Capitol forces. And biotechnical scientists created mutts that could spread deadly diseases for acts of biological warfare.

Due to the district’s location in eastern North America and its proximity to the Capitol, the district was left vulnerable to physical and cyber attacks. During winters of the Dark Days, it wasn’t uncommon for complete power cuts to overwhelm the district. As they had no secondary power source, the district was plunged into darkness. Without reliable heating, thousands succumbed to the elements every year. Most notable among the losses were children. Other attacks included the jamming of radio signals, the periodic dropping of electromagnetic pulse bombs (EMB’s), incendiary bombs, and biowarfare in the form of food and water contamination. Due to the chemicals released into the environment in the latter of the attacks, District 3’s soil turned completely infertile, and rainwater collection was no longer a viable method for water consumption.

To combat this and the growing threat of incendiary and chemical bombings from the Capitol, Mayor Fibre Bissette ordered the construction of an underground system of tunnels during the summer of the second year of the war. Hundreds of chambers, ranging from thousands of feet in volume to small storage segments, spider across the district. For a time, the tunnels effectively transported supplies and weapons in and out of the district.

Approximately six months before the signing of the Treaty, mayor Bissette was offered a deal of amnesty by President Ravinstill. By shutting the tunnel network down, he would grant both himself and his nephew, Kay Masterson, a pardon for their crimes against the Capitol. Though at first confused, a small attack on a Peacekeeper encampment on the northern border of District 3 led Atticus Banks to discover the existence of Jabberjay muttations which he would inform mayor Bissette about. With spies having infiltrated the rebel forces, mayor Bissette's motivations had not wavered, and he informed the other rebel leaders of the Capitol’s mutations. The rebels began sending false information via word of mouth for the Jabberyjays to pick up. After they were found out, the Capitol retracted their amnesty offer and promised that the district would be decimated, humbled, and destroyed.

Approximately one month out from the war's end, District 3 was sieged. Due to the Capitol’s prior knowledge of the tunnels beneath the district's surface, unconventional methods were employed to flush out the strength of the district. A large squadron of District 2 soldiers and peacekeepers captured the northern sector of the district before finding entrances to the subsurface tunnels. With the assistance of Capitol technicians, mega-tonnes of gas were pumped beneath District 3. 30% of the population perished in the attack, and the district’s food storage was completely decimated. It is the only recorded use of lethal chemical warfare during the Dark Days.

Over a week of fighting, District 2’s forces inundated the streets of various cities and seized factory complexes, halting weapons manufacturing completely. The strength of the district was almost completely eradicated in a single attack. To prevent further loss of life, mayor Fibre Bissette formally surrendered two weeks from the end of the Dark Days. After signing the Treaty of Treason, the Capitol put the district under lockdown, ensuring complete dominance over the district's government until it could be properly reorganized under the Capitol's regime.

A new mayor was appointed at that time, with mayor Bissette being executed for his role in the rebellion. His nephew Kay Masterson, and the daughter of the Jabberjay rebel informant, Techna Banks, would be reaped for the 1st Hunger Games.

### Present Era

District 3, compared to its outlier counterparts, is notably well-off in the modern day. Though still recovering from the lingering wounds of the war, the day-to-day life in the cities of the district has returned to what they once were. Upon the signing of the Treaty of Treason, technology became the district’s main output, an industry that coincides with pre-existing infrastructure that had been utilized during the Dark Days.

The presence of Peacekeepers within the various city bounds is still very much there, while not immediately noticeable. Currently, small outposts of Peacekeeper forces are placed at entrances of the war-time tunnels, ensuring both safety and law are maintained in the surrounding area. Rebel groups are extremely minimal; their diminishing numbers depleted even further after the 5th Annual Hunger Games.

While most district citizens hold displeasure towards the Capitol, many cannot deny the benefits provided by the government. Before the reunification of Panem, District 3 had to source its own materials to craft high-tech devices. This, of course, meant that the production costs for such devices were astronomically high while also having significant issues concerning supply and demand. With the country's unification came a more stable economy and opportunities for District 3 to grow as a front-runner in terms of importance. Without the technology they provide, it is estimated that the Capitol would be approximately ten years behind its current technological standing.

## Geography

District 3 is geographically located in what was once Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Having suffered from extreme wildfires during the climate crisis, its natural ecosystem has been left barren, save for pockets of fertile soil that would be irreparably damaged during the Dark Days. Its pleasant plains and forests have since been transformed into an industrial hub of alleyways, warehouses, and factories.

Being further north, it's one of the coldest districts in Panem. Weather warfare during the Dark Days by the Capitol has damaged the local climate, leading to unstable weather patterns throughout the year. Most infamously, however, is the acid rain that will fall from the sky during the wet season.

Unlike its neighbor's District 9 and District 12, District 3 is deemed inhospitable to fauna and unable to sustain crops and vegetation inside its borders. Due to the use of poisonous gases and incendiary bombs during the Dark Days, most of the soil is contaminated with noxious chemicals, which also speaks true for the district's water supply; the Great Lakes having been polluted with lethal levels of chemical poisoning and tainted with water-borne diseases such as cholera, and E. coli.

## Demographics

#### Population

Although District 3 is believed to be a melting pot of various cultures and people after the climate crisis migration, its inhabitants are predominantly known to have ashen skin and dark hair. Descendants of Asian American, African American, and White American refugees and climate survivors, the diversity of its people is reflected in the abundance of culture present in the district's entertainment centers and communities. The district is also noteworthy for having a sizable population of Chinese and Polish speakers.

#### Cityscape

As a territory, District 3 is concentrated within a central metropolitan area. It encompasses multiple municipalities and smaller city districts and remains a critical economic and political region. These municipalities and districts fall into four city areas: the Mortum Settlement Area, the Operari Manufacturing Sector, the Dives Business Quarter, and the Victors Village.

##### Mortum Settlement Area (MSA)

The Mortum Settlement Area, or MSA as it's colloquially called, accounts for approximately 70 percent of the living area of all District 3 citizens. A sprawl of cramped houses, tenements, and administrative buildings, it's the epicenter of growing inequality between the poorest and wealthiest citizens of the district. Few schools and fewer hospitals dot the cityscape of this zone. Transportation by subway or monorail is necessary for daily life here. While lacking in the glamour and prestige of the Dives Business Quarter, the Peacekeepers and local businesses are laxer in comparison. Homeless encampments for low-scoring DIAT test takers are also plentiful, and the encampments are routinely relocated to no avail.

##### Operari Manufacturing Sector (OMS)

The Operari Manufacturing Sector, or OMS as it's colloquiallycalled, is one of the essential areas of District 3. It's a vast space consisting of factories and warehouses, producing and shipping tech goods. Lower-class workers make a living here, traveling from the Mortum Settlement Area to and back each day. All tech products in Panem are made in this sector. It runs 24 hours a day to keep up with demand and features a state-of-the-art monorail system to transport workers around and transport goods out of the district. The sector is also known for having the thickest amount of pollution in the district. Facemasks and respirators are always required to be worn at all times.

##### Dives Business Quarter (DBQ)

The Dives Business Quarter, or DBQ as it's colloquially called, houses the richest of the district. It's marked by high rises, bungalows, and luxurious penthouses. 70% of District 3's wealth is concentrated in these few acres of land, and the quality of life in this ward is significantly higher than the rest of the district. The average income of residents is 40% higher than average. This area is populated mainly by high-ranking officials of the district's government, scientists, corporate executives, and factory owners in the Operari Manufacturing Sector. It's also home to the Providence Technology Center building, the district square, various hospitals, and entertainment hubs. Subways and monorails are the primary means of transportation.

##### The Victors' Village (TVV)

The Victors Village, or TVV as it's colloquially called, stands near the edge of the city district next to the Dives Business Ward. It is protected by an air-tight and pressurized dome that shields the community from pollution. The village contains twelve contemporary homes equipped with the best and latest technology. It was built around a large circular roundabout section with a double helix-styled fountain as its center. Unlike the rest of the district, these houses include a rare backyard and lawn, tended to by an AI named Talos. And owing to its out-of-the-way location, the Victors Village is very calm, quiet, and serene.

No Victors currently reside here.

## Culture

### Digital Media

District 3 has the highest rate of cybercrime in Panem, but conversely, it also has the highest level of cybersecurity. VPNs are commonly used among 3's citizens, though they are costly. Many homes—middle class and higher—typically have access to some form of computer, be it a laptop or PC; however, the use of "personal technology" is strictly for work purposes and is monitored at all times. WiFi is also a commodity-specific more privileged families may possess —though, like computers, WiFi is heavily restricted and mainly used for work purposes if instructed by an employer.

Social media plays a pivotal role in the lives of District 3's citizens. While their values align with a more antisocial mindset, it's not uncommon to see people transfixed on their holocasters and communicuffs for entertainment. Especially during the live coverage of the annual Hunger Games.

Those seen mingling with others tend to have lesser salaries, lower DIAT scores, and limited access to technology in their jobs (in comparison to those working higher up the corporate ladder), almost forcing them to engage in harmful social activities to cure their boredom. Large groups of friends and even strangers heading out for drinks and card games after hours are treated as the symptom of a low scoring DIAT test taker and as such don't have the privilege of partaking in the digital culture of the district.

### Education

Academic studies are intensely focused on in the district school system. DIAT scores showcase an overall intelligent population with one or both parents possessing a college degree or background. Technical education begins very early on in a citizens life and ultimately culminates in the DIAT to rank individuals by their abilities for appropriate placement within the district system.

#### District Intelligence Aptitude Test

Before the age of 12, all District 3 youth are tested and ranked by their abilities for appropriate placement within the district system. The purpose is to determine individuals' success and efficiency in future job assignments through a test known as the District Intelligence Aptitude Test or DIAT.

Having begun being administered after the end of the 5th Hunger Games, the DIAT's are essential in determining the future and career of any District 3 citizen. It presents a series of questions to assess intelligence and IQ, ranging from mathematics, science, history, language, and literature to non-verbal reasoning tests involving shapes and patterns. The test details are kept secret from the general public and change annually to reflect the district's changing attitudes and growing intelligence.

A high-scoring DIAT test taker will be placed into an advanced technical training program. They are relocated from their homes, and trained at the Providence Technology Center for future job assignments. Upon years of training, graduates are then placed in a number of different fields in the district's business, manufacturing, and lab science sectors with lucrative careers.

Most citizens generally score in the average range and are assigned to the role of factory workers. However, low-scoring test-takers are assigned to custodial jobs or manual labor in the lower parts of the district's manufacturing sectors. They forfeit all right's to continue their education and have limited access to the district's amenities such as entertainment hubs, what kind of goods they can buy, and even where they can live. Families with low-scoring DIAT children will disown their children or resort to unsavory means to survive due to the lower expected income their children will be allowed as adults.

The consequences of failing the DIAT are extreme, and there is no leeway for failures. The only other option left is to win the Hunger Games, and for this reason, annually, a majority of low-scoring test-takers sign up for more tesserae than they need. In the hopes of being chosen for the games and to escape their miserable fate.

### Hunger Games Performance

District 3 tributes are largely unprepared for the games. Despite the districts' strong ties with the Capitol, it's a relationship of necessity rather than admiration or respect. They don't receive the same perks or leeway Career districts receive. In addition to that, the alliances typically formed by District 3 tributes typically include middle and outlying districts. It’s not seen as a privilege to be reaped, seeing as citizens value career, education, and intelligence rather than fame.

A common trend among these tributes is focusing on intelligence and survival stations during training. Some tributes opt for a balanced pregames training routine, with a mixture of combat/strength and survival/first aid, filling in the areas they might lack and taking a safer route to prepare for the games.

While not impossible, it's uncommon for District 3 tribute's to make it into the top 10 without an alliance and creative mindset. Taking risks is unlike the typical District 3 tribute—they often avoid major conflicts and run-ins with other alliances. However, this perception does lead to them being viewed as weaker, which could turn the tides of battle in their favor should they take major risks and set traps. The latter could prove potentially devastating as flamethrowers and bombs have shaped the games of both the 6th Games and 7th games.

## Economy

The economy of District 3 is efficient, large, and powerful. Being the technology district, it has maintained close relations with the Capitol, but not necessarily friendly ones. Given its rebel involvement during the Dark Days, the Capitol has kept a close eye on the district for rebel activity. Despite this, the district is given relative creative freedom to design and manufacture machinery and technology for the Capitol.

### Technology

Due to the high-demand nature of the industry, District 3 has flourishing trade relations with most districts in Panem. The raw materials it imports and the technology it exports are pivotal for its continued prosperity. In addition to this, the district also works closely with Districts 6 for several large-scale projects that engage huge amounts of workforce and resources. But this activity is closely monitored to prevent intentional malfunctions in the goods they produce to hurt the Capitol.

Due to the automation of several jobs and the gradually increasing population, unemployment can grow into a major issue post the predicted population explosion. Citizens will be overqualified and underpaid, and the competition for jobs will compound tenfold, but research suggests this scenario is at least a decade away.

Sixteen factories operate within the district, along with twenty warehouses.

### Corporate Tech

Corporations have a specific role in the district's economy and daily life. Employing thousands, the district relies on the ideas and visions of tech giants to provide the Capitol with goods and sustain the district's prosperity.

## Government and Politics

### Providence Technology Center

The Providence Technology Center, or PTC as it colloquially called, is the governing body of District 3. Members of this elite government, including the Mayor, instill fear within its citizens through the secrecy they conduct themselves. Having unlimited access to the districts technology and advanced security software, they have the ability to crack down on crime and rebellious behavior long before they can pose a significant issue.

Their power is built upon the intelligence of its citizenry and the schooling they receive. They take in youth that are deemed gifted by their DIAT scores in the hopes of crafting engineers, and scientists that will prove loyal to the Capitol and advance the technology needed to sustain the nation. Their influence is unmistakable, and their surveillance power is only rivaled by the likes of the Capitol itself.

Private citizens are not free from their all seeing nature. Receiving a summons from the court is nothing short of terrifying Speaking the wrong phrase or bad mouthing a neighbor can be enough to receive a summons and those that go must be thoroughly scrutinized for their behavior. The process can take hours, to days, even months, and all that have been summoned must remain in the center until they have been assumed innocent of their offenses or found guilty. It is not known what happens to those found to have committed treason but they are never heard from again, and all records of their existence are deleted from the district's databases.

### Security and Surveillance

District 3 has some of the highest security in Panem. Their technology is built with solid software protection to defend them against cyber attacks. Their role as a rebel leader in the Dark Days has led the Capitol to concentrate a large faction of the Peacekeeper force within the district's boundaries.

The defining factor of their security is the tracking system, made possible by holocasters: electrical armbands capable of many uses. These uses range from professional operations to personal activity, albeit a heavily limited amount for the latter. All peacekeepers and citizens are given holocasters, which they must wear on their arms during their waking hours. While both citizens' and peacekeepers' holocasters are used for communication, both have unique traits depending on district position.

An online identification card is available for citizens to sign into computers and buildings, and the information of a citizen's whereabouts and actions is stored in a separate database. Ordinary foot soldiers can not access this database, but higher-ranking peacekeepers may view this information and alert them of any criminal activity. Such a system has proven beneficial for preventing illegal actions and maintaining the district's social order.

### Healthcare and Cybernetics

Healthcare in District 3 is expensive and privatized. While there are numerous hospitals with excellent staff that is well-equipped to deal with injuries and illness, only the truly wealthy have streamlined access to those services. The district is also known for its advanced medicine and cybernetic modifications to the body. It isn't uncommon for an infected arm or leg to be amputated and replaced with a robotic prosthetic.

Most citizens rely on cheap medicines sold in drug stores to tend to their ills. However, fentanyl overdoses and manufacturing injuries are the leading cause of death in the district, so they must turn to other healthcare providers such as private clinics owned by private doctors.

The cost of surgery for broken limbs or treatment for 2nd-degree burns by a private physician outweighs the cost of going to an actual hospital. These clinics don't have much better medicine than the home of an average citizen, and the price is much steeper. And although they are expensive, and at times even rob or intentionally harm a patient's health, they are the last resort available for the impoverished citizen living paycheck to paycheck.

### Fibre Bissette

* **Age:** 43
* **Occupation:** Mayor (former)
* **Status:** Executed for his role in the Dark Days Rebellion.

A former mayor of District 3, Fibre Bissette, helped lead the rebellion against the Capitol during the Dark Days and reinvigorated District 3's biotechnology sector in the years preceding it. A strategist by nature, he helped orchestrate malware attacks against the Capitol's computer software during the war. He worked closely with Districts 5 and 6 to develop a nuclear arsenal. His nephew Kay Masterson(D3M) would be reaped into the first Hunger Games for his treason, and he would be executed soon after watching his nephew die.

### Xavier Linux

* **Age:** 35
* **Occupation:** Mayor (current)
* **Status:** Alive.

The current mayor of District 3, Xavier Linux, established the core of what would become the DIAT's and is the figurehead and leader of the Providence Technology Center. Appointed to the role of mayor near the end of the 1st Hunger Games, he would ruthlessly stamp out rebel activity in the years after while quietly constructing a more efficient system that would optimize the district's economy. The District Intelligence Aptitude Test would be his greatest invention. Upon reorganizing the Providence Technology Center's original leadership, he effectively rules District 3 subtly behind the scenes, non-threatening in the eyes of the Capitol.

### Techna Banks

* **Age:** 13
* **Kills:** N/A
* **Placement:** 17th Place
* **Training Score:** N/A
* **Cause of Death:** Devoured by Rattus Carnes mutts.

Techna Banks was the District 3 female tribute of the 1st Annual Hunger Games. A child prodigy, she was the daughter of Atticus Banks, and for his discovery of the Jabberjay muttation plot, she was reaped into the games as punishment. She died on the first day when she fell into a street pit before being devoured by rat mutations, an event witnessed by the District 4 female who refused to help her get out. A shy but brilliant tribute, Techna was outcast by the other tributes for what they perceived to be her more significant involvement in the rebellion and went into the games alone.

### Kay Masterson

* **Age:** 15
* **Kills:** N/A
* **Placement:** 9th Place
* **Training Score:** N/A
* **Cause of Death:** Bludgeonded to death with a rock by Sarah Bologna(D6F).

Kay Masterson was the District 3 male tribute of the 1st Annual Hunger Games. The nephew of Mayor Fibre Bissette, Kay, was an awkward tribute and was most known for wearing a face mask with a smiley face and a pair of goggles during his game. Having survived the bloodbath and well into the second day, he would be engaged in a confrontation with the District 6 female tribute Sarah Bologna (D6F) after a failed truce, before being bludgeoned to death with her rock.

### Rey Campbell

* **Age:** 18
* **Kills:** N/A
* **Placement:** 5th Place
* **Training Score:** 5
* **Cause of Death:** Shot out of a tree with throwing knives by Tidren Azurite (D1M).

Rey Campbell was the District 3 female tribute of the 2nd Annual Hunger Games. She remarked about her variety of skills and studies during her tribute interview, including her background in computer coding. She also spoke of her speed and how she could outrun most of her opponents. Rey lasted much longer than her district partner when lifted into the poisonous swamp arena. She ran away from the Cornucopia before being sponsored a bow and arrow, along with a medkit and water. She ultimately made it to the endgame, keeping a low profile, avoiding the Feast and most other tributes. However, she fell to Tidren Azurite (D1M) after being sniped out of a tree with throwing knives.

### Corbin "Swaggy" Pyro

* **Age:** 14
* **Kills:** Axel Wilder (D2F?)
* **Placement:** 17th Place
* **Training Score:** 4
* **Cause of Death:** Drowned in swamp water.

Corbin "Swaggy" Pyro was the District 3 male tribute of the 2nd Annual Hunger Games. During the first-ever tribute interviews, he stated that all he wanted was to put on a good show to receive sponsors from the new sponsorship system. When the game started, Corbin was part of this game's large alliance and allied with Aconite Lyco (D1F), Tidren Azurite (D1M), Joshua Madden (D2M), Ian Fleming (D4M) and Miles Pratter (D11M). During the Cornucopia Bloodbath, he killed the District 2 tribute Axel Wilder (D2F?) before separating from his group for a short period and being attacked by vicious spider mutts while he was asleep. Ian would ultimately rescue him and tend to his bite marks with Capitol medicine. Swaggy would drown in the swamp water, and in vain, Ian would be unable to resuscitate him successfully. He would die in Ian's arms, in a moment some viewers misconstrued as being romantic.

### Celestia Tokito

### Chip Missouri

* **Age:** 13
* **Kills:** N/A
* **Placement:** 20th Place
* **Training Score:** 4
* **Cause of Death:** Attacked by spider mutts and ripped apart.

Chip Missouri was the District 3 female tribute of the 4th Annual Hunger Games. Chip’s interview was rather short  — her responses were quick and revealed little to nothing about her tactics and strategies. The only information audiences got from her was that her father was no longer in the picture, a fact that earned her the nickname "No-father Chip." She tied with Taticus Orev (D7M) as the lowest scoring tribute, with a 4. During the Cornucopia bloodbath, Chip could not grab anything and fled to a nearby cave, where she fell asleep for three full days, barely moving an inch. Unfortunately, she met her end shortly after waking up and was killed by a hoard of spider mutts. Her time in the arena was short, and her death was slow and painful.

### Ferric Brighttree

* **Age:** 18
* **Kills:** N/A
* **Placement:** 8th Place
* **Training Score:** 9
* **Circumstances of Survival:** Beaten over the head with a wooden plank by Kate Cross (D10F) knocking him unconscious.

Ferric Brightree was the District 3 male tribute of the 4th Annual Hunger Games. He was a highly astute and respectable tribute, using his intelligence to navigate the twists and turns of the cave arena. During his Games, he and Flamma Maxwell (D5M) got separated from Tessera Maxwell (D5F) after the Cornucopia Bloodbath. Utilizing his knowledge of cavern systems from his studies back home, he was able to reunite the sibling and go to the Feast/ He would ultimately meet his end when he was incapacitated by Kate Cross (D10F) being beaten over the head with a wooden plank. However, her attack was ineffective in killing him, and he was one of a few surviving tributes that would later meet their demise in the first Quniti Quell a year later.

### Wis Wan

* **Age:** 16
* **Kills:** N/A
* **Placement:** 8th Place
* **Training Score:** N/A
* **Cause of Death:** Shot through the heart by an arrow from Cassandra Nightworths (D4F) bow.

Wis Tan was the District 3 female tribute of the 5th Annual Hunger Games. One of the twelve newly reaped tributes Wis was a quiet girl. Her answers during her interview were limited to no more than a sentence, giving off a mysterious impression with her blunt and sometimes sarcastic responses. During the pregames, Wis remained under the radar. She took to staying silent and allied with Sarte Huminton (D1F) and Evelyn Libbon (D7F). In addition, Wis befriended a little gecko on the island. She was the last surviving member of her alliance at her time of death, making it to the finale eight before being killed at the hands of Cassandra Nightworth (D4F) with a bow and arrow.

### Ferric Brighttree

* **Age:** 19
* **Kills:** Hattie Cockburn (D10F)
* **Placement:** 3rd Place
* **Training Score:** N/A
* **Cause of Death:** Slashed across the chest by multiple acidic whip attack from Happy de Guzman (D8M).

Ferric Brighttree was the District 3 male tribute of the 5th Annual Hunger Games. One of eight surviving tributes from a previous Hunger Games, he was forced into the first Quinti Quell by the Capitol in an effort to kill off the survivors. Nineteen during the start of the games, Ferric was overwhelmed and confused. During his interview his responses were concise, only elaborating when asked about his family but he laid low during the pregames, forming an alliance with Max Quetzal (D11M) and Harvey Mills (D9M), another returning tribute. Ferric was the last surviving member of his alliance, making it to the finale where he was slain at the hands of Happy De Guzman (D8M), who used a whip dripped in acid to kill him.

### Montag Hilton

* **Age:** 15
* **Kills:** Krypton Vineal (D5M), Marina Evanson (D6F), Luxia Silverberry (D11F)
* **Placement:** 4th Place
* **Training Score:** 7
* **Cause of Death:** Impaled with a sword by Keira Doig (D5F).

Montag Hilton was the District 3 female tribute of the 6th Annual Hunger Games. Having lived a relatively average life, she was a studious girl and was well-versed in applying survival theory to everyday life. Before the games, she had a crush on a boy who improved the model of a train, much to her amazement. She used her loyal personality and confidence to secure several sponsorships during the games. She used these sponsors and other objects she found in the arena to create a “battery bomb” that would lead to the death of various tributes during the Feast when her partner Archibald Cognum (D3M) detonated it. She would be killed by Keira Doig (D5F) during the finale after being impaled with a sword through her chest.

### Archibald Cognum

* **Age:** 18
* **Kills:** Grenadine Matthews (D8M), Jasper Flower (D9M), Linnea Hills (D9F), Grimm Troupe (D11M)
* **Placement:** 14th Place
* **Training Score:** 8
* **Cause of Death:** Shot down by arrows from Linnea Hills (D9F) bow.

Archibald Cognum was the District 3 male tribute of the 6th Annual Hunger Games. Before the games, he was a worker at Cras Tech, developing cutting-edge weapons two summers priors, and his parents were also executives in the military and computer science sectors. During the pre-games, he remained calm and collected, impressing tributes and audiences with his intellect and quiet charm. For this reason, he and his partner were targeted by this game's bigger alliance. However, having survived until the feast, he and his allies managed to electrify the Cornucopia. He would die from injuries he sustained in a confrontation against Linnea and the district 4 tributes before tossing his battery bomb. The bomb he received from his district partner Montag Hilton (D3F) would, directly and indirectly, cause the deaths of Linnea Hills (D9F), Jasper Flower (D9M), and Grenadine Matthews (D8M).

### Skylar Zeltio

* **Age:** 17
* **Kills:** Aurora Fernsby (D8F)
* **Placement:** 14th Place
* **Training Score:** 9
* **Cause of Death:** Smashed over the head with a television by Leila Rein(D10F).

Skylar Zeltio was the District 3 female tribute of the 7th Annual Hunger Games. A clever young woman, Skylar gained great distinction for achieving a training score of nine during her examinations. During her tribute interview, she shared the tragic love story of her and her girlfriend Diana, capturing the hearts of the Capitol and securing herself a wealthy sponsor. This sponsor would be most beneficial to her during the Sporting Goods bloodbath when she used mutt repellent and a lighter to kill Aurora Fernsby (D8F) by lighting her on fire. This feat alone shocked audiences, and she escaped the bloodbath. However, her triumph was shorted lived. Skylar was killed in the Electronics Store when Leila Rein (D10F) severed her spinal cord and smashed her head in with a television, ending her potential bid for a darkhorse win.

### Daniel/Ile Williams

* **Age:** 14
* **Kills:** N/A
* **Placement:** 13th Place
* **Training Score:** 8
* **Cause of Death:** Attacked by a Mall Cop mutt and beaten with a baton.

Daniel/Danielle Heather was a District 3 non-binary tribute of the 7th Annual Hunger Games. One of the first two gender non-conforming tributes in games history, Dani was fairly quiet during the pregames. During their interview, their painful shyness and complicated family history made audiences pity them, but they were lost behind the bigger personalities of these games. They were involved in a minor scuffle with tributes Teresa Riddle (D4F) and Leila Rein (D10F), barely escaping with their life from the food court. They were in a small alliance with Eduardo Gallo (D10M) and Jay Bush (D5NB), with the former taking a particular interest in Dani, and the pair often flirted albeit awkwardly. Some time into the game, Dani was attacked by a mall cop mutt during a power outage and was killed; they were the only mutt-related death in the 7th Games.

### Tallie Gearworth

* **Age:** 17
* **Kills:** N/A
* **Placement:** 16th Place
* **Training Score:** 7
* **Cause of Death:** Stabbed in the heart by Diana Bellator (D1F).

Tallie Gearworth was the District 3 female tribute of the 8th Annual Hunger Games. Throughout the pre-games, Tallie made few appearances. Her interview was a smooth one, though rather unremarkable, as she seemed to be emotionally exhausted as she spoke about her brother, her strengths, and attempting to wrap things up quickly with her blunt responses. Tallie’s training score was a 7  — higher than her partner’s, placing her in the middle of the pack. She remained with her district partner, Ryan Okayman (D3M), during the games, until his death a few days into the games. After that, she was alone, left scavenging the cars for food and scraps before ultimately getting killed by Diana Bellator (D1F), who stabbed her heart with a knife. Tallie was a well-liked tribute among the audience, and many were disheartened to see her die in the bottom half.

### Ryan Okayman

* **Age:** 17
* **Kills:** Evangeline (D12F)
* **Placement:** 19th Place
* **Training Score:** 6
* **Cause of Death:** Stabbed with a knife through the head by Diana Bellator (D1F).

Ryan Okayman was the District 3 male tribute of the 8th Annual Hunger Games. During the pre-games, Ryan spoke little to other tributes, though he was seen talking to Chaar Madkin (D7M), with whom he eventually gained the trust of and allied. Ryan received a training score of 6  — unremarkable, but not to be disregarded. In his interview,  his responses were rather concise, yet confident. He was known for his famous and simple response “okay”. He spoke about his family, then his allies Stitch Cardigan (D8M), Ashton Barrieta (D6M), and Tallie Gearworth (D3F), as well as his deceased friend Dani Williams (7th D3NB) from the year prior. He went on almost bragging about his intelligence, using it as a potential sponsor magnet. The only ally he managed to escape the bloodbath with was his district partner Tallie, whom he stayed with until they were hunted down by the Career pack. Ryan was slain by Diana Bellator (D1F), perishing as her knife impaled his head.
