I. How hard is it for them to use their skill as compared to training vs in the game? It could be because the arena is not designed to their advantage:

• It solely on water (such as an ocean)– various boats/rafts floating around and the tributes would have to fish for food or fight for what supplies are on the boats. Some of the boats might have small cannons to make it more exciting, and there’d be shark/octopus/etc attacks

• Mirror or some type of maze, except the mirrors would reflect monsters, loved ones, wild animals. The only real things in it would be the actual tributes. The only weapons they’d have would be themselves or mirror shards if they broke one.

»C. Character must take someone else’s life? How brutal does the scene get? Do they maintain their dignity and their self-respect? Have they lost all morale?

I. Truly show the character’s personality, quarks, and give dialogue if they have to do something that gruesome. Give them a redeeming factor so the audience and readers will continue to like them. Such as, saying sorry before going through with the action, telling the person to run away and giving them a chance to escape because the thought of taking someone else’s life seems awful to them, Etc. Perhaps even bury the victim or say a prayer.
