Head Gamemaker

The Head Gamemaker is a position of power in relation to the Hunger Games. The position is most often selected by the President, although on occasion the President will leave it up to the Gamemaker committee to select the role. The Head Gamemaker's role is to oversee the creation of the arena and the control of the Hunger Games as done by the Gamemakers. A dry, uninteresting Games will put the Head Gamemaker's life in peril, whereas a bloody, entertaining one will often see them reelected to the position. Although the Gamemakers are in charge of the games, it is the President's opinion that matters the most, and thus the Head Gamemaker will frequently consult with them over the course of the Games.

The Gamemakers' job is to make the annual Hunger Games as spectacular, bloody, frightening and entertaining as possible. However, it is up to the Head Gamemaker to decide when the Games are becoming boring. Often, this means that they will introduce some new element, such as a forest fire or tsunami or announce a feast to simultaneously excite the audience and drive the tributes closer together, hopefully killing some of them off.

As Gamemakers have full control over each aspect of the arena, they can alter day and night cycles, water flow, temperature, and many more environmental things. The Gamemakers also operate the extensive surveillence system in the arena, ensuring the tributes are being watched constantly. The Head Gamemaker is thus responsible for overseeing these aspects for the audiences in the Districts.

## Known Head Gamemakers

* Antonius Bui (1 ATT - 7 ATT)
	+ Antonius was the first Gamemaker to be hand-picked by President Lucidius Holt after the Dark Days. Antonius was a firm, yet compassionate believer in Capitol supremacy. He believed that the Games aren’t just about the overall bloodshed, but about every fiber in the tributes. For seven years, he analyzed the tributes and made decisions accordingly to ensure that the Districts knew that the supremecy of the Capitol could not be overturned easily after the Dark Days. After his seventh year, he was invited to join President Rolltide’s cabinet as Minister of Intelligence, thus abdicating the position of Head Gamemaker.
* Tiberius Tennyson (8 ATT - 10 ATT)
	+ Tiberius was an artist in the Capitol's Arboretum Section. All his life, he wanted to somehow bring his creations to life, whether on Capitol TV as a children's cartoon or modern art. After 10 years, word spread to Diana Rolltide about his art and desire, and she became a fan of his work. Soon after, she sought to give him a chance to project his dream - to make his art a reality. He delved into making beautiful, scenic arenas, but found himself haunted by the blood on his hands every year. After his third year as Head Gamemaker, he committed suicide inside of his home, wanting the nightmares to finally end.

* Luna Baroma (11 ATT)
	+ Once regarded as a close friend of President Rolltide, Luna sought to improve her life as the matriarch of the Baroma family. She would go on to gain a sharp wit and knack for precision. She believed that her visions would give birth to a greater Panem. When she was chosen for Head Gamemaker, she was estatic - not for the position, but for the opportunity. After her first and only Hunger Games, she released a series of mutts from the Capitol labs. She wanted to conquer the Capitol and rule as its President. Her rebellion was soon over in a matter of hours and she was executed. Her bones adorn the doors to the Gamemaker Labs as a reminder of the price of treason.
* Elexa Tharn (12 ATT - 16 ATT)
	+ A brutish and firm believer in Capitol rule, Elexa was chosen by the Gamemaker committee as a loyalist and zealot of Lucidius's ideology. She would go as far as to remark on the mistakes of past Gamemakers and expose their weakness to the world. With every arena she prepares, she plans to enact a sense of total sense of hopelessness with the tributes, pitting brawn against brawn and brain against brain. She would, unfortunately, die from a seizure she encountered in the 12th Hunger Games Arena.

* Cicero Ghee (16 ATT - 19 ATT)
	+ Cicero was a man of grand extravagance. His father worked as a contractor throughout the Capitol--raising tall skyscrapers. He would grow up immensely wealthy with a knack for perfection. Before becoming Head Gamemaker, he worked as a fashion designer and joined the Gamemakers later on. When he took over for Elexa Tharn upon her death, he wanted to mimic Tiberius's vision of beautiful arenas, with Antonius's need for control. He was executed after the 19th Hunger Games for his failure to make an exciting bloodbath and overuse of mutts.
* Daedelus Emeric (19 ATT - 24 ATT)
	+ Daedelus was born during the Fredrick Steele regime--making him 65: The oldest Head Gamemaker in history. He had a dislike for Diana Rolltide's cabinet and became the Minister of Defense during the beginning of Julius Fire's regime before being fired for making notions to be more serious in all Districts and remind them all to not betray The Capitol. Dadelus's life of politics ended and he retired. He only recently came back to inspire fear into the Districts to stay in line with The President and to make the Games even more intense. He was set to replace Cicero after the 20th Hunger Games, but due to Cicero's mistake in the 19th Hunger Games it became necessary for Daedelus to come into the picture early. Towards the beginning of the 24th Hunger Games, Daedelus's husband was killed by a rebel bomb. Enraged, he did whatever he could to kill the tributes--devoid of logic. At the end of the Games Daedelus mysteriously vanished, leading to him being replaced by Archytas Lee. Near the end of the 25th Hunger Games, it was revealed that Daedelus was mutated into a Minotaur as punishment for his unchecked rage, pride, and arrogance. In the beginning of his gamemaking career he was cold and calculating, but at the end of his term he was the embodiment of bloodlust and rage.
* Archytas Lee (24 ATT - 26 ATT)
	+ Archytas spent his life as the son of Lee's Design Corp's CEO. While his father would have him try on modeling designs, his passion was to assert his dominance in The Capitol--with an eye for politics. He secured a spot as Daedelus Emeric's Vice Gamemaker and eventually became Head Gamemaker in 24 ADD. Archytas has a keen eye for fashion and he is usually bubbly and energetic in his public life, but cold and calculating in his private life. President Snow became aware of Archytas' popularity over the elites and had a careful eye on him. Archytas attempted to assassinate President Snow after the 26th Hunger Games but was forced to run. Eventually apprehended, he was put into the 33rd Hunger Games by Head Gamemaker Orcus Richings to be killed by the victor of those Games.
* Drusilla Mynth (26 ATT - 28 ATT)
	+ Drusilla's family was once one of the wealthiest in District 1. A year before the First Rebellion, her family pooled their money in order to move to The Capitol's outskirts. After living through the Rebellion, Drusilla worked at as a play director at Anna Kate's Grand Theater. She has a firm patriotism for The Capitol and would do anything to rise to a higher position of power--fearing for the possibility of moving back to The Districts. President Snow saw her performance of The Dark Days and was moved by the accurate portrayal that he was forced to endure as a child. She was groomed by Snow to replace Archytas after his death. She would end up killing herself at the end of the 28th Hunger Games for failing to execute a memorable Games.
* Julius Moss (29st - 32nd Games)
	+ Julius Moss was the cousin of Vermillian Moss--the Agricultural Department head. Even though he was born with wealth, he always vouched for the poorer citizens around the Capitol. He put all of his money into a company that would distribute food to the worse-off Capitol citizens. He made hard decisions, like firing his partner and co-founder of Cibus, Adrenea Pullo, for charging people for premium picks. President Snow saw his decisiveness and risk-taking as a sign of strength and his dedication to his vision as a sign of willpower. He was chosen to be the next Head Gamemaker after the 28th Hunger Games. He vows he will strengthen the Capitol's resolve by any means necessary. He was most notable for creating very successful Games and having the tributes express their own agendas. He announced his retirement after the 31st Hunger Games and that the 32nd Hunger Games would be his last. After he retired, he resumed his position as the CEO of Cibus Corp.

* Orcus Richings (33rd Games)
	+ Orcus Richings was born in the year 33 BDD. He was originally a professor at the Capitol's prestigious Academy, serving as the professor of psychology. He taught many infamous pupils such as Crassus Snow and Volumnia Gaul. He was very passionate about the science and was generally a very cheerful and patient man. During the First Rebellion, he witnessed his wife being executed by a rebel and his first son being decapitated in front of him. After the horror he witnessed he was never the same. He turned sarcastic, heartless, unapologetic, and always serious. Orcus was a man who believed in the natural order of things and that death would not be cheated or restricted so easily. He was chosen by Coriolanus Snow to succeed Julius Moss as Head Gamemaker for the 33rd Hunger Games and onwards. About half a year after his first Games, he was assassinated by a terrorist organization within The Capitol.

* Rhea Monarch (34th - 36th Games)
	+ Rhea has always loved the games but when gamemakers in her past started to make beautiful and gorgeous arenas she was blown away by the sheer creative force the Hunger Games took to make it into a special event. She wanted to make the most beautiful and gorgeous arenas for all the "little lost puppies" to die in an arena that they'll never forget. She fell in love with painting and sculpting masterpiece after masterpiece, until she caught the eyes of a high end family in The Capitol. it wasn't for how her art appeared, rather it was for the materials which she used to create the vivid art. She would use toxic chemicals to get the most beautiful blue or the blood of avoxes to get the brightest red--she will not stop until the world can witness her vision. A fun and creative personality, she aspires to secure the Capitol’s position. She was chosen by The Capitol to become the next Head Gamemaker due to her passion for the Games and desire to make the arenas her pinnacle on artistic mastery. After the 35th Hunger Games, she was asked to retire from the Games. She chose her successor to be Lucius Cascadia.
* Lucius Cascadia (37th - 40th Games)
	+ Lucius's family originated from District 4 emigrating for the opulent party scene of The Capitol. Along the way, they gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Lucius. Unlike most responsible parents, they often neglected Lucius and sometimes abused the child since they believed that they were amongst gods and could do whatever they wanted. Lucius grew up with a god complex and often obsesses over the littlest things going against his plans. Lucius was often the forefront in all of his studies dealing with sociology. His friends and colleagues say that Lucius is "sly as a fox with a silver tongue". When his parents came to him begging for money, he denied them and said that their only hope was a boy left alone for hours on end. Lucius applied for the position of Head Gamemaker and was deemed a very interesting candidate as he shared a lot of qualities with President Snow. During his tenure as Head Gamemaker, he became more and more jealous of those around him and craved more attention. He held a grudge against Julius Moss for his advice to make the Games less about him and more so for The Capitol as a whole. Eventually that jealousy spread to his Vice Gamemaker Ravenna Thames. He would end up having a seizure outside of his home and would never recover. Ravenna Thames succeeded him as Head Gamemaker.
* Ravenna Thames (41st - 43rd Games)

	+ Ravenna was born as "Roxanne Price". During their earlier years, she was often in a run-down building in the Capitol's poorer sectors with their older half-brother Dionysus. While the two would often trade anything for food, their mother would be out in the streets and alleyways of The Capitol exploiting herself for her cocaine addition. Eventually, the two would come in contact with a veteran named Varus Thames. Varus would often invite Roxanne and Dionysus over to his house and cook them dinner, as well as craft them toys with his older son. Eventually, Varus asked if they'd like to be adopted and to live with him in the abortorium sector. They reluctantly agreed. Upon turning 18 years old, Roxanne changed their name to Ravenna while their brother kept his first name. Ravenna did this so that they would remember the ravenous hunger in their earlier years. Ravenna had an eye for getting to the top so their future children would never have to grow up hungry. They saved everything, often returning to poverty again and again, and applied to be an apprentice Gamemaker. Through the years they made their way through the ranks. Lucius Cascadia approached them and asked for them to be his Vice Gamemaker. Ravenna agreed. Unfortunately, Ravenna didn't understand how manipulative and cunning Lucius was and exploited their work to establish his own credibility. When they were threatened to be sent back to the streets unless they did exactly what Lucius said, they relented. The Gamemakers felt furious with Lucius but knew they were powerless to stop him. When word got to the Gamemaker Headquarters of Lucius's death, the entire committee was in jubilation and Ravenna would celebrate that finally, after a long struggle, Ravenna had won.
