They throw Virtus [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat over a cliff into the raging seas]], but he survives and gets his revenge by brutally raping Luscious and then killing her.
* NamingCeremony: Honorius, Virtus, and Justus all change their names to represent one of the values Boudicca said represented their duty to the Capitol. Later that evening the cousins make a BloodOath and changed their names [[MeaningfulRename to represent the value Boudicca individually assigned to them]].

See the '''Characters Page''' for tropes that apply solely to each Victor.
!!The Victors Project includes the following tropes:
* AcademyOfEvil: The Career schools
** The District Academy for Excellence in Youth Development (DAEYD) in District 1 (especially after Luster takes over)
** The Institute in District 2. Known throughout Panem as "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Murder High]]".
* AfterActionReport: Many of the chapters take place after the Victor’s Games and describe through exposition or flashback what happened during the particular Games.
* AlternativeCalendar: Post-Mockingjay Rebellion Panem begins its calendar when Katniss and Peeta out the nightlock berries in their mouths. All subsequent dates are A.B. (After Berries).
** Prior to this, the Capitol seems to have set their calendars by the end of the Dark Days Rebellion and the start of the Hunger Games.
* AlwaysMale: The first 11 Victors were all male, leading people to call them "The Old Boy's Club." Ends when Mags becomes the first female Victor during the 12th Hunger Games, and [[BadassBoast she directly calls out]] the Old Boy's Club while she was still in the arena.
* AnachronicOrder: The story jumps back and forth between current-day and the particular Hunger Games being researched. Yet, it can also jump to time periods in between. For instance, Jade’s chapter takes place during District 13 [[ThePurge purge trials]], which occur between the fall of the Capitol and President’s Coin’s assassination.
* AntiVillain: Both Ahenobarbus and Boudicca can be seen as this. They run [[AcademyOfEvil Career schools]] and fully support the Hunger Games. But they come to care about their fellow Victors, even those not from their Districts.
* ArcWords: Luxe's mother tells him after he wins his Games, "Remember, there are strawberries." This becomes a saying among Victors to remember there are still good things in life to hold on to.
* AssassinationAttempt: One is made against Katniss, which Johanna foils by killing the would-be assassin with Manannen’s old Victor spear.
* CombatSadoMasochist: The Careers often become this, because it appeals to the Capitol crowds, making it more likely to help them get sponsors.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Each chapter focuses on a particular Victor.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first seven Hunger Games were held in a small arena with a live audience of Capitol citizens. There was no Cornucopia, and instead all the weapons were spread out across the arena. The series charts the development of the Games as sponsors, mutts, the Opening Ceremonies, and larger arenas are all introduced.
* InevitableMutualBetrayal: The structure of the Hunger Games is such that allies will inevitably have to betray each other. This leads some alliances to purposely break up early in order having to directly kill each other. This leads other alliances, particularly the Career alliances, to betray each other even before all the other tributes have been killed.
* KlingonPromotion: Many of the Career Victors—Tiberius, Boudicca, Ermine—got selected by killing the prior favorite to be chosen as that year’s tribute.
* KnifeThrowingAct: Ahenobarbus demands that Gleam perform one after he saw Gleam's impressive knife-throwing skills during his Games. Gleam reluctantly complies and successfully avoids hitting the Avox forced to be a LovelyAssistant. Ahenobarbus then tells Gleam that [[VirtueIsWeakness mercy is for the weak]] and throws a knife directly at the Avox. Thankfully, Orchus [[BarehandedBladeBlock catches the knife in midair]] before it hits the Avox.
* LocalHangout: Samson’s becomes the bar of choice and DenOfIniquity for the Victors, [[MissKitty run by a woman]] [[LegacyCharacter who always goes by the name, Madame Nigella]].
* MasterApprenticeChain:
** District 2: Ahenobarbus --> Tiberius --> Boudicca --> Granyte/Honorius/Virtus/Justus
*** Virtus --> Ares
** District 4: Seaward --> Mags --> Mannanan/Cerulea/Finnick
*** Mannanan --> Thisbe/Annie
*** Finnick --> Odysseus
** District 7: Jules --> Blight --> Connor --> Johanna
* OCStandIn: All of the unnamed and under-developed tributes of the Third Quarter Quell get much greater CharacterDevelopment.
* OddFriendship: Ahenobarbus and Gates
* OrphansOrdeal: Platinum, Tiberius, Silk, and Boudicca are all orphans who become Careers as their only means of escaping poverty.
* PerspectiveFlip: Different chapters are told from different types of perspectives: third person narrator, the Victor her/himself, outside viewers, other Tributes, etc.
* {{Shipping}}: Johanna and Gale are sleeping together.
* SinsOfTheFather: Many of the initial tributes were the children of rebels who fought against the Capitol during the Dark Days or were considered disloyal for being neutral. The Undersee family, two of whom fought in the initial Games, were especially targeted.
* UnreliableExpositor: In The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Coin says there are only seven remaining Victors: Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, Johanna, Annie, Beetee, and Enobaria. The opening chapter reveals that many other Victors survived as well. Coin was either unaware of this or hoping to quietly purge them without drawing attention.
* VictoryByEndurance: Camden, Wren, and Thisbe all won by waiting for the other tributes to die. They do not count as WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing, because they also killed other tributes during their Games. But their final victory came not from killing the penultimate tribute, but rather by waiting for them to die by other means.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Luxe and Platinum form a relationship that Mags describes as "the most passive-aggressive friendship in the history of the nation."
