The death games. Children being torn away from their families and thrust into a nightmare. A nightmare consisting of everything a child should be kept away from, be kept safe from. The heinousness of starvation, murder, brutality, greed, desperation, and those who watched. It was a way to keep the peace, this exposition, this...display. The families of those taken dared not rebel against the "natural order" due to fear. Fear that those they might leave behind would die an even more cruel fate because of their actions. Fear they might suffer. Fear of death. Or, perhaps it was fascination and curiosity. Curious to know what will become of the people that once lived there, curious to know who might be alive after it's all over. Those who were fascinated were the ones who had everything, the ones who weren't thrust into a nightmare year after year. Yet, the cycle goes on and on...welcome to the Hunger Games. And may the odds be [i]ever[/i] in your [i]favor[/i].[/center] First off, [@LoneSilverWolf] will be co-GM'ing this along with yours truly. [Hider=Rules] 1. Doubling is allowed, but [b][u]NOT[/u][/b] from the same district. You are not required to double. 2. As far as posting, we want people who will post consistently. If you are idle for more than two days, please let us know. We don't care WHY, but we need to know to continue the story without you. If you don't notify us are you are gone for more than five days, we will (regrettably) kick you and eliminate your character. This can be avoided if you contact us, obviously. 3. God-modding is not allowed, however, the GMs will do so in extreme circumstances (i.e: see rule two). 4. The order of deaths (including who will be victor) will be determined by a random generator, and we will create the story around this. We will not be revealing this, however, when it comes time for your character to die, one of us will PM you and give you the opportunity to kill them yourself, with minor coordination regarding the details. Written characters WILL die off after the NPC tributes, unless otherwise requested/dictated by posting rules. 5. You will be allowed to PM with the other tributes for alliance purposes, but keep it realistic. You obviously cannot communicate if you're on opposite sides of the arena. 6. You are welcome to write anything (including violence, gore, and swearing), but, per Guild rules, all smut will be required to be taken to PMs. Anything beyond huddling for warmth, kissing, cuddling, vanilla romance, needs to go. 7. NPC tributes can be controlled collectively, however you do need to pay attention to where they are so there is no confusion. That even extends to killing them for drama purposes, but check with one of us if you would like to kill them, especially during the bloodbath. We don't want too many characters dying at once.[/hider] [Hider=Character Sheet] [Hider=Reaping Rules] Tributes are given one entry per ear, cumulative. So at 18, children have 7 entries on age alone. Tesserae can be taken once per year per family--but each tesserae taken adds one additional entry into the games. Using our 18 year old example, if he took out Tesserae for himself and his mother for one year, he would have 9 entries into the games.[/hider] [Hider=District Slots] District 1: open District 2: female open District 3: all slots taken District 4: male open District 5: open District 6: open District 7: all slots taken District 8: open District 9: female available District 10: open District 11: open District 12: open District 13: do not put your characters from this district since we are not including it, as per canon.[/hider] Name: (Please follow standard Hunger Games guidelines for naming characters. For example, district 7 is known for lumber, so the name Sequoia would be appropriate; make the names reflect the district!) Age: Height: Weight: Eye Color: Hair Color: Physical description: Character portrait: (No anime please, use actual photographs or if you are the artsy type, realistic drawings). District: District Job: District Token: How character name is related to district: (what your name means) How Many times your name is in the Hunger Games: Volunteer or “naturally” reaped?: 5 positive personality traits: - - - - - 5 negative personality traits: - - - - - Weapon specialty: (This will be added later, as we train. That said, if your character starts off knowing how to use something--a machete or a bow, or axe for instance, put this in from the start). Skill speciality: (This will be added to after training. Again, if they have experience tying knots or agility or a skilled fisherman, or even medical skill, please add this. Be realistic.) Threat Level: (you are welcome to input this, but overall this will be decided when the plot has been established before the arena starts like in the story) Relationships: (include important people to your character outside of the arena) Bio: (please be reasonable in comparison to what district your character resides in)[/hider] There will be a side plot written by yours truly. Please be sure to pay attention to these, as they will affect how the story plays out. The arena details will be posted after it is revealed in the storyline, although you do have a hint in the banner. Any questions - message myself or [@LoneSilverWolf].
