Let the Games Begin. (OOC)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby FromTheAshes on Sun Jan 17, 2010 2:44 am

The Hunger Games:


Panem:
Panem consists of a rich Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts. As punishment for a previous rebellion against the Capitol, every year one boy and one girl, between the ages of 12 and 18, from each district are forced to participate in The Hunger Games, a televised event where the participants, or "tributes", must fight to the death in a large outdoor arena until only one remains. I am here to collect these twenty four tributes. And I am here to bring them to the Games.
The Games:
Every year, every child between the ages of 12 and 18 will gather, and the team of that district will draw from a basket of every boys name and pull out a name, and then do the same for the girls. The number of times your name enters varies. When you are 12, your name is entered once, 13, your name is entered twice and so on. But, if you need supplied like oil and rice from the Capitol, you may enter your name another time per person for the supplies. Those who are drawn will be taken to prepare for the Games; although, if you wish, you can volunteer yourself instead of the one drawn from the basket. Every year a new area is built, old ones saved for those from the Capitol to visit for vacation. But each arena has a different landscape, different traps, all sorts of plants, so you know, some that you don't. Some you can eat, others that will kill you. Animal's included. In the start of the games, you will be underground in whatever outfit is left for you to start off in. When raised, you must stay on your stand until you hear a cannon fire, otherwise, if you set off; You. Will. Die.
The Cornucopia:
The Cornucopia looks like a huge golden horn, cone-shaped and with a curved tail. The mouth is about twenty feet tall, and it has been carved to look as though it were woven. At the beginning of the Games, it is stocked with supplies for the tributes to fight over- food, medicine, weapons, and so on; supplies are also scattered around it, decreasing in value the farther they get from the Cornucopia itself. The tributes are released here, each an equal distance away from it. After that, it mostly becomes a landmark, unless the Gamemakers stage a feast or similar event here, to draw the tributes together.
The Team:
Those chosen will be taken from their districts, and make their way to the Capitol by train where they will meet their team. They will meet their trainer, dresser, and their manager. Your trainer will be a past winner of your district, there to give you advice, and how to win over sponsors who will donate money to provide you with gifts during the games. Your trainer will live in your district, but because of the win, they are sent to a special section whereonly winners can live in luxury. Your dressers will do your hair, wardrobe and prepared you for each event before the Games begin. Finally, your manager will keep you on time; tell you what is to come, and where to be when you need to be there.All of your dressers and your manager will be from the Capitol, and since the style in the Capitol is a little... strange compared to that of districts, it'll be a little disconcerting. They dye their hair and skin bright color, odd, alien like clothing, and have surgeries to make themselves look younger, or give themselves cast whiskers and so on. There's not much they can do to themselves. They also don't really see anything wrong with the Games. Just another form of entertainment. Finally, your manager will keep you on time; tell you what is to come, and where to be when you need to be there.

May the Games Begin.

Please be sure to PM me your character sheets guys. This is just about the code box I have posted for you. You don't want others to see what it is you need until the Games actually begin, and unless they are from your district, will not know of your bio. Ghaarme, please remove your character from here and PM it to me.

Please be sure to read everything you guys and scan it often. I'll be making edits as this goes on. Mostly to the district section and maybe adding a tweak here or there.

Age: 18
Occupation: Student of Neuroscience at the local University, Mark is one of the star pupils of his District. Educated from an early age, he has already been admitted at the University for two years;
Characteristics: 6'4"; Physically adept; His father is a Jiu Jitsu teacher.

A familiar hunger pang growled from deep in Mark's belly. Frustrated with the failure of his latest contraption, he sat down to catch his breath. A tired hand wiped a lightly soiled rag across his face, a simple refreshment from his afternoon tinkering as his eyes narrowed from the setting sun's light. The coffee machine on his bench eminated a soft tone. With a grunt, Mark stood up and walked over to turn it off. The rich brew steamed as it made contact with the cool evening air and Mark filled his favorite stainless steel mug. As he took a furtive sip, his eyes scanned the horizon. Peaceful - at least for now.

Image

"I simply don't know how we're going to get by if we don't win this time", Mark lamented out loud to himself. "We haven't been able to win a single bout for the past three months and our supplies are almost diminished." Placing his mug on the workbench, Mark resumed his development.

Oh, I already have something that'll drive two of you against one another. *Evil laughter* I'm making a list of what you all will find in the Cornucopia. And I'm trying to figure out what kind of arena I want to make. I think i have an idea, I would just like to make up a map to post it so you all have something to go by.

Just so you all know, I'm not the best artist in the world, but I do draw out stuff for theater, so it's going to be to size, not beautiful, but you'll be able to ready it down to every foot of how big this thing is. *Claps excitedly* Oh I can't wait!

Just because you are from the same district does not make them your partner because someone must die at some point. so, you can work together for a while, but beware! They may just turn on you and you'll be out of the game...

Can do and accepted. So at this rate, hopefully tomorrow morning we can get things started. At this rate I'll play everyone's trainers, dressers and manager. Somethings I'll have to PM to you because things are done in private so you don't do everything with other tributes. But we're going to start the morning the tributes are to be selected. So you'll have some time before you have to gather for the drawing.

And again, any questions, I'll answer to what information I''m willing to give up. :)

I find it amusing that District 6 is the only non-anime.

Game-related, I am new to this but I am sure I will enjoy it. What type of objects or actions, etc, more importantly, should we stay away from. I don't want to write up something and have it sort of ruin the mood or sound completely ridiculous because I overlooked a rule or precedent.

1. Setting/time frame of the game [future/medieval]?
2. Objects not allowed and an example of what possible types of puzzles will be put before us?
3. Anything else you might think we ought to know. Don't give anything away, just prepare us to dish out some valuable RP!
