[OOC] 75th Hunger Game! Volunteer as a tribute now!

[Phloem]

@Paingodsson: I don't wanna sound rude but I have to say this. Your character couldn't have been reaped at 21 years old because 18 is the maximum age for a regular Games. Just pointing that out. :U

[Paingodsson]

Oh, did not know that, i've only seen the movies so the 2nd one when the old guy got reaped I figured it was at any age haha my bad give me a bit i'll change up the story and everything after i finish my Paper. Oh and this is for everyone, don't ever be afraid of "being a jerk" to me, as long as your not intentionally being an ass I won't care usually.

[Mach2]

Character sheet is pretty much done. :)

I see people have mentioned things about combat and I have some advice for that. Since this is a RP and not a Tabletop, I don't want to make this too complicated, but if it sounds too complicated, I don't mind helping. In my Tabletop, I have a more complex version of this, but basically:

When it comes to combat, you have a winner and a loser. Almost always, both will end up injured and in the games, one will probably end up dead. I suggest during these fights that the two players PM each other and work on a collaborative post that depicts the fight from start to end. Before the fight, the winner can already be determined by rolls. The scale would go like this:

1-7: Injured
8-12: No injuries
13-20: Death

This is just a brief mock-up, but it can always be tweaked. Before a fight, the GM should be PM'd so that the roll can be done, or if you want to trust the players, they can do the roll on their own. You would roll 1-20 for each player. So in a sense, both players could end the fight injured, or dead, or no consequences at all. That way, it's not 100% guaranteed that a person is going to die during a fight, but there is a large chance for it.

EDIT: There is also a site where you can have the rolls listed publicly so everyone knows that there is no bias. I would suggest this if you are playing as a tribute, or if you choose to let the players roll for themselves. Let me look it up and I'll post it here.

Done, aside from the fact that I'm still working on a name...

Haha name is always the hardest one do decide xD
Your character will be accepted once you put the name on :)

Paingodsson said
Name:Aleksander Kerensky...

Your character won the 72nd Hunger Game. So the age of your character
should be around (15 to 21). As the age for reaping is set from people who are 12 to 18 years old.
Change the name, or if you wanted to be older. Change the year you won the regular Hunger Game.
Once you are done, your character will be accepted too.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION (Will finish this after work or tomorrow.)

District 8's Bondi Cobalt; 24 years old; Female


Family:
None

Strength:
She is manipulative and quick on her feet, when it comes to problem-solving.

Weakness:
She uses her body for many things, but strength and endurance isn't her strong-suit. She prefers to have other people do the work, and then she'll get into the nitty-gritty of the rest.

Weapon of choice:
Daggers and anything that is easy to conceal within clothing.

Bio/Background:
Beautiful. When anyone tried to describe Bondi, they would always use that word. Intelligent, kind, and honest were never words that she heard about herself. It was always “Beautiful”. It was sickening really. Was that all she was? Would she always just be a pretty face and nothing else? Bondi didn’t want to think so. She worked hard, surpassing kids in school and if she couldn’t, at least she could keep up. Her mother, a school teacher in the District, always scolded her for working too hard.

“Bondi, you were born with looks. Use them. Don’t waste your time with this meaningless stuff. Your face can get you anywhere.”

It all didn’t make sense to here. Why should everything be handed to her just because of her face-shape, or her body-size? At a young age, Bondi grew up like a normal District 8 girl. She was due to begin 5-hour shifts at the textile factory on her 13th birthday and that was what she expected. It wasn’t until she reached puberty at the age of 12 that her parents began to enforce ‘beauty = power’ outlook.

When Bondi turned 14, her older brother, Teal, was selected as tribute for District 8. It was the 65th Hunger Games and on the second day, he found himself at the end of Finnick Odair's spear. His death shook the entire family but it hit their mother the most. Within weeks she was bed-ridden and soon died. Before passing, she gave Bondi a blue barrette. It was after the death of her mother and brother that Bondi realized how permanent death was. She would never see them again. She would never hear them again. Both of their lives were taken in front of her eyes. She wouldn't allow the same fate to happen to her.

Two years later, Bondi had the body of a full-grown woman and was not surprised when her name was called at The Reaping. During the 67th Hunger Games, Bondi battled with herself on a moral level. Sponsors wasn't a problem and by the third day, Bondi realized what her audience wanted. Could she do it? She didn't want to. Would it help her survive? Maybe. Would it shame her? There was a large possibility, but she had to use the gift she was given. At the end of Day 6, Bondi was left with two other opponents. She didn't know their names, only their Districts: 5 and 10. With a small set of daggers hidden safely in the elastic of her pants, Bondi set out in search of 5 and 10 with one goal. Survival.

Before she found their camp, the cannon went off, startling her. She quickly patted her body down making sure that it wasn't meant for her and after calming down, she heard leaves crunching. Looking up, Bondi found herself eye to eye with District 5's tribute. He was a lanky boy, probably around the age of 17. Clutched in his right hand was a fresh bloodied sword. It was only the two of them left. It was her or him. As he started to rush toward her, Bondi found herself unable to move. Where would she go? He would catch up with her. He would find her. She was a dead girl, unless she could do something and her plan on sneaking up on the two obviously didn't work in her favor.

"Wait.." was the only thing she could muster to say and surprisingly, he stopped. She could smell the sweat, dirt, and blood that radiated from him and did her best not to grimace. "Wait, please..." She took a step forward, holding her hands up in the air and put them against his chest. "Can I have a kiss, first?" Surprisingly, he obliged and before he could pull away, he was a dead-man. Bondi learned that day that distracted boys were dead boys. Her mother was right all along.

Token:
A barrette that has been passed down from her great-great-great grandmother.

[Mach2]

My character's already the victor for the 71st games. :\

And I dunno how much detail Hivekiller is looking for...but I feel like you're probably going to want to add more.

[Paingodsson]

I'm gonna guess add more detail, And so hive are you wanting me to change his name too? I changed the age and all that. I changed it to where he went in at 18 in the 69th I don't believe I forgot anything else, made him have only 2 kids now.

[Dusthawk]

Not quite done with everything yet, but I figured that I should put up what I've got so far.

Quick to learn and to adapt to most situations. He can be considered agile and possesses decent knowledge of how to survive.

61st Hunger Games

[Apokalipse]

May I reserve District 10? I won't be able to get my CS up till tomorrow...

[Mach2]

Hey. Hey, Apokalipse. I like your profile picture. ;D

[Apokalipse]

Thank you! I like yours, too. ;D

[OBESE]

So I just went through all the finished and unfinished character sheets and I am happy that more people are joining in and more are revealing their characters. The only thing I would like to ask from everyone is to try not to interrupt with the actual hunger games as in years of victors. Here you can find all the known victors and their years of winning - Known victors and their years - so please choose the years that are not listed in that list. I for example took 66th hunger games, although I was going for 65th but as you can see there already is known victor in that year. So look at the available years, change your CV's and let's do this :).

Oh another thing I loved was to read the character sheets and already see some of the possible ways of putting yourself in a situation. For example Mach2 unnamed character is depending on others pity and her innocence and the bio/background part already is doing the pity part as it says that she feels bad for her victory and that it's a destiny for her to be back and die this time etc.
And for Alex part where he points out that he had a duel with a District 7 tribute and that the tribute was begging for mercy but he had no emotions towards it and he just brutally sliced the tribute in half. This part could make me to have special vendetta towards Alex as I am from District 7 and I might be interested in shaming him for his actions.

Overall I think this will be fun and if everything with the 20dice will go well then it will give the turning point for this RP and bring it to a whole new level of fun. :) Keep up the good work!

[Mach2]

Dangit. As much as I love Johanna Mason, she took my year! XD

I'll probably bump it up to the 73rd Hunger Games, and then say her name was drawn when she was 15 instead of 13.

And she now has a name! Vanessa "Nessa" Day.

[Lady Squee]

So, judging for the OOC alone, I say we have a great group of people among us. Good RP community = Great RP, imo. :3

EDIT: While working on the CS, I have come to the conclusion that the Background is always the most difficult part for me. I know what I want to say, but then I get worked up with my grammar and I stress myself out. xD

[Dusthawk]

Agreed, I'll go back and fix up my CS. Hopefully I can finish it today .-.

[Apokalipse]

I call dibs on winning the 60th Hunger Games!!! ):< No one shall take that.

[Paingodsson]

EYYYY 69th wasn't taken awesome! :P
