Tribe syllables
Here's my cheat sheet for naming characters, cities, landmarks, and so on. It includes the original syllables for each tribe, as well as the ones I've added based on the culture each tribe is inspired by, since I didn't have enough syllables to work with. The canon ones will be listed first, followed by a semicolon, and then the ones I've added. Do as you wish with them. Also, either a dash or an apostrophe will be added in the syllables list if I use them in names.

The Tope Hunger Games
So I've been thinking about this for a while now. I've been getting back into the Hunger Games after reading the books for myself recently (my mom read them to us when we were kids) and I'm so in love with this series. Suzanne Collins really created something truly amazing.
The great thing about Polytopia? It fits into the Hunger Games universe really well! The twelve normal tribes make up the twelve districts, and the four special tribes make up the Capitol. Every tribe specializes in one thing, which can be used as that district's purpose, like in the books. They really have mixed together so seamlessly, it's been a really fun writing experience.
This will be the masterlist for the Tope Hunger Games, as well as some general information I'm putting together in my canonverse. Likewise, if you want to read about a specific character in this setting, go to their tribe's masterlist to find their story. All of my OCs are the ones in these stories, so hopefully you're already familiar with some of the characters.
Real quick, here's a ranking of the tribes, what districts they're in, and what they specialize in.
Xin-xi: District 1, mining, Callow, poor, unskilled
Imperius: District 2, military, Career, wealthy, skilled
Bardur: District 3, hunting/livestock, Career, well-to-do, skilled
Oumaji: District 4, construction, Callow, well-to-do, generally unskilled
Kickoo: District 5, fishing, Callow, poor, generally unskilled
Hoodrick: District 6, textiles, Callow, poor, unskilled
Luxidoor: District 7, riches, Career, wealthy, skilled
Vengir: District 8, smithery, Callow, poor, generally unskilled
Zebasi: District 9, agriculture, Callow, poor, unskilled
Ai-Mo: District 10, medicine, Callow, well-to-do, unskilled
Quetzali: District 11, poultry, Callow, poor, unskilled
Yadakk: District 12, transportation, Callow, well-to-do, unskilled
The four mystical tribes, in my universe, compete every Quarter Quell. Otherwise they're escorts, Capitolites, all that jazz.
Aquarion: District 13, aquatism, Career, wealthy, skilled
Elyrion: District 14, enchantment, Career, wealthy, skilled
Polaris: District 15, frostwork, Career, wealthy, skilled
Cymanti: District 16, mycelium, Career, wealthy, skilled
Hope this helps! I tend to use the districts instead of the tribe names, so it may get confusing. How I picture them looking, as well as what their tribe land looks like, remains canon. It's basically just Polytopia in the Hunger Games, with THG weapons and technology and stuff.
Like I said, the stories (once I get them) will be linked both here, and on each tribe's specific masterlist. This will probably take a while to update, since I want to write all of their original stories first, so you have a better understanding of their personalities. I just couldn't wait to post this.

Introducing the Luxidoor
And now for our fancy rich people! The Elyrion have their mystical wealth, but the Luxidoor have literal monetary wealth. They're classy and pompous and live a completely different lifestyle than the rest of the Square, and all the men give me Oscar Wilde vibes (as in Wilde wrote them, but instead it was me).
First we have Exiouux. As you know from Luxidoor lore, the richest is always elected as the ruler, without much consideration for political campaigns. Exiouux's parents are the former rulers, and they're retiring early to travel, leaving Exiouux with the throne. He was raised as the highest royalty in all the land, and he's exactly as you'd expect.
Spoiled, bratty, and essentially uncaring to anything that doesn't have to do with him, Exiouux really isn't fit to rule anything or anyone, but he has money and doesn't care. Until, of course, he's kidnapped and forced to endure a rude awakening.
Here is Poemni, Exiouux's cousin. She is real ruler material, making an actual effort to get to know other tribes and their leaders and customs. She's smart, careful, and almost as rich as Exiouux, so she ends up ruling a different city versus all of the Luxidoor.
Frequently irritated with Exiouux's carelessness, and having to clean up most of his messes, Poemni is also one of the only people who puts up with her cousin. Really, she sees his potential and is saddened that he does little with it.
Next we have Issa'ka, Poemni's younger sister. She's fanciful and flighty, and is enchanted by all things mystical. She's very intuned with nature, and no one really knows what to make of her, since she isn't obsessed with finery and aristocracy. Exiouux likes her though, and she likes him too. She gives him moments of normalcy.
And finally is Kiem. His parents rule a Luxidoor city, and he's set to take over after them. He and Exiouux went to academy together, and they were a sort of thing back then, and there's still tension today. Exiouux doesn't know if he actually likes Kiem or not, or if it's just playful, academia banter. This dynamic is what gives me Oscar Wilde vibes.
