[size=36pt]READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY PLEASE[/size]
This is a closed thread ONLY for people who have signed up. ALL spots are filled, so DONT ASK. If you wish to spectate, simple write 'tracking'.
Don't forget
You character will NOT have a terrain map, nor will they know what lies in each direction, except for what can be seen from the Cornucopia.
1. There will be one winner, PERIOD.
2. The winner will be decided by activity level. The more active you are, the larger chance you have of survival. for EVERY roleplay post you make, you must keep count of how many posts you have made, just like a badge event. This will be know as your TPC (Total Post Count).
3. The actual games will take place real time, meaning that we will go by the clock found on this site. If it says midnight, then its midnight. If its afternoon according to the site clock, its afternoon.
4. You MUST roleplay realistically. If you go 3 days without posting, then your character WILL be extremely weak, as that would consist of three days of no food or water.
5. You cannot have your character never get hurt, and always win. If it should come to a fight, the person with the higher total post count will triumph, and your character will either have to die, or be injured.
6. If you become caught in a game makers trap, then your survival will depend on your TPC. The higher it is, the better your chance will be of survival without injury.
7. Game Makers traps will be posted with a MPC (Minimum Post Count) and a MxPC (Maximum Post Count). The MPC means that your character WILL die if he or she is below this number at the start of the trap. The MxPC means your character will survive if he or she attains this number at the START of the Game Makers trap.
8. You may NOT double post, that is illegal, punishable by banning. you will be warned once, if you repeat the offense, you will receive a final warning, after which you will be banned.
9. You must not have your character never be injured, or never feel tired, etc. Remember, REALISTIC.
10. You may only play up to two characters, and they must be from different districts.
11. You must have read at least book one and two of The Hunger Games.
12. Semi-advanced RPing only, a minimum of 3 sentences per post.
13. Make sure at least remember that food and water may not readily be available.
14. Be sensible. You may not always have people sending you gifts of food, ALL the time. Also, Outsiders watching are allowed to send gifts. They MUST go through me first.
15. You can only be a member of the games OR a Game maker, not both.
16. NO CHATTING WHATSOEVER during the games. The only time you may OOC post is to say that you may be inactive.
17. Please do NOT spy on the game makers thread. Its meant to be kept secret for a reason.
18. PROPER GRAMMAR IS A MUST! if you cannot spell correctly, or have good grammar, then don't come here. However, if you have dyslexia, that's OK then. :)
19. Feel free to stay and "watch" the games.
20. Even if you die, you can still watch the games to see who wins.
21. Don't feel bad even if you don't win. Its all for fun!
22. if you lie about your TPC, I WILL BAN YOU, and your character WILL DIE.
23. VERY IMPORTANT!
HAVE FUN!
The Arena
The Terrain is a frozen Tundra which widens into grasslands, with a few iced over lakes scattered about. If you North, you will reach large, abandoned ruins with a labyrinth of tunnels underneath. The ruins offer excellent cover for hiding in. They say there is something VERY special hidden in the tunnels underneath the ruins, if you dare to brave them.
By traveling west, you meet a stretch of dessert that connects with the ruins. There are dangerous scorpions and other creatures in the dessert, but it is also a great place to hide, if no one else goes there as well. If one knows how, they can actually survive in the desert.
If one heads south, they will come upon large, snowy mountains, as well as the possibility of a few hidden mountain valleys. These mountains are inhabitated by murderous mountains goats that push you off the edges of cliffs or smash you against rock walls.
If you head east, you find more mountains, these ones slightly icier. However, on the other side is a forest, and then a large freshwater lake past the forest.
Follow the map, not the words, as my wording is slightly in accurate. Remember, each area is quite large.

Name:
David Ray
Age:
13 (legally)/ 11 (dental records- real age)
District:
10
Appearance(Must be real life pic):
Personality:
Despite his hard life, David isn't bitter or resentful. Luck has always turned in his favor when he needed it most, and, while he fears death as much as anyone, and knows that he could die at any moment, he doesn't give up. Ever. His last breath will be spent spitting an insult to his killer, no doubt.
David is possessed of a strong moral compass.He doesn't turn on his friends, even when the going gets tough. He keeps his word. When he works at something, he works hard, putting his all into it. That doesn't mean he can't lie or cheat his way into success- just look at how he survived, hiding his paltry riches from the peacekeepers, and how he works so hard at convincing everyone, even himself, that Benjamin truly is is uncle. So, while his conscience might be stained so it isn't quite lilly white, the ends have always justified the means, and that, in David's mind, is what counts.
[hr]
Strengths (no more than 2)-
Good shot; Great runner
Weaknesses(at least 2)-

Preferred Weapon(s)-
Sling; Large stick or pole; Knife (melee, not throwing)

Worst Weapon(at least 2)-
Sword, Blowgun, Whip, Garrote, Iron Knuckles
Least Favorite Weapon(s)-
Crush (optional)-
None yet, though if he got a crush on a 12 or 13 year old girl from another district, that might be fun.
History (Optional)-
District ten was never the most prosperous. These days, they are as weary, as indolent, as the cattle they tend. Some, the unlucky, manage the crowded factory farms towards the interior of the district. They live the longest, spending their days wading through the excrement of the livestock they use like mere machines, until eventually one of the antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria ends them.
Others wander the outskirts of the district, the wide, barren places deemed too hilly, too unstable, too barren for the farms. These nomads follow their herds, on a constant quest for water, for grass. You might call them the luckier of the groups- after all, they are free from the claustrophobic factories and the screaming of the slaughterhouses- but what little freedom they have is tainted by the constant fear of death. In the factories, you have twenty five, thirty years, even forty, if you're lucky. Out on the plains, though, and in the mountains, it's the survival of the fittest, and by no means are the half starved people of Ten the fittest in those wilds. Mountain lions, wild dogs, peacekeepers who will take any excuse to make an example of you, there's no shortage of dangers on the plains. Even if you have the skill and the good fortune to be successful with your flock, anything you get will just be taken from you by the peacekeepers when you go to town to trade your wares, wool and milk and meat, for whatever necessities of life you can't make for yourself out in the wild.
It's the latter stock, the nomads, that David is from. He was raised in a community home in one of the slum towns that are scattered on the outskirts of the central, factory cities. He was found cowering in the branches of a tree. His mother, what was left of her, was found a week later in a nearby cave, inhabited my a mountain lioness and her cubs.
Perhaps it was his weather worn features that made the caretakers of the community home think he was eleven. Perhaps it was his care worn expression. Perhaps it was laziness, or an error in filling out some form. No matter the reason, the six year old was taken in, and given the duties of a child of eight years.
Within a week of being taken in, however, he again was handed over to new caretakers, an old man claiming to be his uncle. It got him out of the community home, where he would surely have starved, or, if not, died from taking one beating too many. David realized this- after all, who hadn't seen the shambling community home children in the market, selling scraps of leather, or bits of wool they found on the floor, in hopes of getting a bite or two of bread? No matter that both of his parents were only children. He isn't one to refuse a life rank when he's about to drown.
Soon enough it became clear why the man had taken him in. David had a past caring for flocks. He was valuable. His supposed uncle, Benjamin Ray, was getting too old to walk along the steep and narrow trails of the outlying lands of the district. The two struck a deal; Benjamin would teach him the secret paths to good grazing lands, the locations of seasonal streams, warnings of what lands were claimed by what predators. In exchange, David delivered half of his earnings to his new caregiver. Thus, David came to own his own flock at the tender age of nine. At first, he stayed close to the beaten path, but as greenery grew more scare, he delved farther and farther into the dangerous regions, took the paths less traveled, and, through some stroke of fortune, he had the brains and the luck to pull it off. He supported himself and Benjamin, always thiding some portion of the rich cheese he made from his sheep's milk from the peacekeepers when they came around to collect the state's due. He also became skilled with his sling and his walking stick, his only protection from the predators who were likely as hungry as he.
Thus he lived for several years, until he legally became 13. Despite his skill with the flocks, he could never have survived without the tesserae. Despite his adding his name extra times, he didn't have his name in it many times, not compared to many boys. Only six slips labeled David Ray in shaky handwriting, six out of however many million. Maybe this is where his luck is turning. I guess we'll see.

While unusual, it's not impossible for an orphanage to ignore a child's dental records in favor of some arbitrary number. This actually happened to my brother, who was labelled as eight, but was actually four.

Hi. Awesome thread.

Yes.

Of course!

The tribute's pedestals slowly rose up, and they were greeted to chilly air and a bright sun. The shining golden cornucopia could be see in the center of the 24 tributes, and weapons and various supplies were arranged around and inside it. Near the mouth were the most valuable weapons, such as swords, arrows, spears, knives, axes, even some throwing stars. Farther out were backpacks, sleeping bags, fishing rods and smaller weapons. At the fringes were very basic looking items; packs, canteens, backpacks and basic fishing equipment. There were also a few basic and crudely made weapons, a slightly warped sword, and not-so-straight bow and arrow, and a basic knife.
The actual terrain all around was pretty basic, not to mention cold. Icy tundra stretched out all around, and a cold breeze blew. To the north the tundra seemed endless, although perhaps it wasn't. To the east, if one had good eyesight, they may have been able to see what appeared to be a forest, although it was some distance off. To the south loomed massive mountains, with icy peaks. Finally, to the west, the tundra also seemed endless, but the possibility of other terrain was not out of the question. Far in the distance all around, grasslands and plains could be seen, forming a gradual transition from Tundra to a less icy area.
Suddenly, there was a loud horn, and a voice said "Let the 73rd Annual Hunger Games begin!"
