[OOC] Lucky Number Seven (A Hunger Games RP)

[PrimalArcana]

Lucky Number Seven

The 7th Annual Hunger Games

It's been seven years now since they began. 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 ever in your favor.

First off, @LoneSilverWolf will be co-GM'ing this along with yours truly.

Rules

1. Doubling is allowed, but NOT 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.

Character Sheet

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.

District 2: female open
District 3: all slots taken

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)

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.

C'mon people, you KNOW you want to join us ;)

*bump*

[Jannah]

Sorry, guys. I've been slacking off. I should be getting my characters up very soon. I still need to write Odius' history, but Huxley will be significantly easier due to being an older and already created character.

[PrimalArcana]

It's all right. We supposedly have one more joining us, but when I last spoke to her she had some family medical issues to take care of, so we'll see how that turns out. Once you have your characters posted, @Jannah, (and once I do too), we'll go ahead and throw up a first post.

Just so y'all see this too @LoneSilverWolf and @A Tattooed Girl. I'm probably going to just close the thread to be honest, a small group is better than no group!

[Jannah]

Sorry I still haven't finished. I haven't forgotten about this. I'm just having a lot of issues in real life right now. My computer keeps crashing nearly daily now and then I can't afford repairs or a new computer right now since I'm in the process of moving very soon. So yea, I'll be awhile longer yet :(.

Bloop.
