Sorry for the delay. Wireless went out.
I never watched any of the hunger games films, read those books and don't even remotely care too. That dystopian/totalitarian setting is NOT my thing. Legitimate historical Eras past and present are my thing. World setting AS-IS that we live in and historical events/criminals/laws being a legitimate factor according to the specified point in time.
You're thinking in a very narrow-minded POV. So far as you know, the term "Child Soldiers" only takes one particular form.
The image I used for the thread is just something I randomly googled, but don't base what I'm saying on what your understanding is on this right now. I'm aiming a bit higher and as a result, a few shades more unsettling simply because I'm surprised nobody seems to have attempted it before so far as I know.
If you can't stomach the thought of the mental disturbances and potential consequences and repercussions of exploring the themes involved with the normal world-understood horrors of this stuff, I might not expect you to go too far into what I'm delving into.
I'll be nice and use some spoiler tags ahead just in case.
Already had a thread earlier, so the link is gonna look familiar to a few anons.

I also am looking for constructive criticism before I tackle the Primary
>attached Image on this post is a tweak based on a few criticisms.
Not being dishonest when I say this, but it isn't readily apparent from the start where this is going because the approach is different.

>Each character will be introduced at different points in time accordig to actual time sometime during the 70's.
>the child soldiers are actually under contract from American government as an international hit squad and task force that explicitly kills. Themes of Psychological trauma, Political affairs and the horrors of many various crimes ranging from war crimes to various means of skin and drug trafficking will be explored.
>Different children recruited in different places from around the world with different sociopathic or various degrees of detached personalities.
>Different Languages will be represented as accurately as possible.
>No kiddy fluff here. An injury will last it's proper length until treated properly. A death is a death. Full stop.
Any fantastical elements introduced are limited and only to better enhance the plot dynamic, but not used as a crutch.
There is no singular main character. The main character is the journey itself.
Any character that appears has potential to be an antagonist. No characters has any favor over another.
I have a very clear Idea of how I want to see the story concluded and have absolutely no intention of stretching the story past a very specific chronological year, month and day.
