THE MIRRORVERSE MEME



We all know our characters like the back of our hands. We know what they like, and what they don't like, all their fears and hopes and dreams, and what made them that way. But imagine a world where, for whatever reason, something went horribly wrong, and your character is a bizarre inversion of their normal self.

That's what this world is for! Post and tell us what your character's bizarro version would be like, how their life would be different, how their relationships would be different, how their time in Panem might have been different if you're playing a tribute. Thread things out between mirror versions, if you like! This is a 'what if' meme, so anything is possible.

And he hates cats, too!

Mirror universe Dr. Sigma Klim (regular account futilecycle) is, most notably, 22 years old in appearance. At 22, Sigma was pulled into the Nonary Game, his world's version of The Games. But rather than displaying kindness and compassion, Sigma was brutal in his victories: he killed behind the scenes, he allied as little as possible, and came out victorious more often than not. When he discovered that the Gamemaker, Zero, was actually his time-travelling future self at 67 years old and that his service was required to save the world from an apocalypse that was to occur, Sigma took on the job without hesitation.

But Sigma's motivation was not sympathetic to those who had died: rather, he amassed the knowledge he'd need to live a comfortable life for himself once he returned to the past (collecting lottery numbers, learning sensitive information of world leaders, using his skill in genetics for his own benefit, etc.). He made the Nonary Game much more violent compared to the one seen in canon: rather than the penalty for rule infraction or loss of points being painless lethal injection, a bomb goes off in the player's stomach. There are also weapons lying around.

He did not care when the woman who had fallen in love with him, Diana, left him - he'd led her on only for her body. He was cruel to his son Kyle, and refused to allow him to call him "Father", finding him disgusting and used him only as a tool. When he returned to the past, he refused to allow Kyle to go with him, trapping him in the "bad" future. When he learned that an alternate universe version of himself (canon) had failed to save the world because he chose to save Diana's life rather than his own, he killed her without hesitation to prevent it. Because of these actions, this Sigma saved the world and thus was able to keep his 22-year-old appearance.

He was then brought to the Capitol, and is a ruthless, heartless, and cruel competitor who is especially rude to women. He openly calls himself a "victor", and tells of his past actions as Gamemaker without shame.
