Introduction
It is the 75th Hunger Games, but with a twist; the Capitol is in fear that a revolution will rise again and so they are planning to have all surviving victors of the Hunger Games killed. The plan is to bring back victors from past Hunger Games and put them in once more. There'll be two from every district (though I won't plan to have this many characters, just as many as we can get) just like before, but they plan on having this game be more dangerous. Though the victors think that only one of them will survive, the Capitol has something else planned, to show to the rest of the districts not to rise up, to instill fear into them once more so that everyone will remain compliant.
The game:
This year the games will be held with a "dormant" volcanic island environment. There is only one fresh water river running through the entire island, wild animals both rapid and gentle will roam through the place, vegetation is plenty, heat and humidity is enough that even in the shade you sweat. The tributes will be starting off in the center where there is a lift. There will be certain blank/safe zones within the island where nothing will happen, though be careful because these zones drift and if you stay within one too long you may find yourself in the middle of an acid rain instead of safe after all.
As the tributes are victors and have already been through this, they are unhappy to say to the least so I expect there to be plotting against the Capitol, though I also want you guys to create three or more small groups instead of everyone banning together. Try to plan in secret as everyone is always watching and can hear everything you say whether you think you're in private or not.
The story:
After the 74 years of the Hunger Games people are starting to get restless and angry at the games and those who run them; particularly the victors after having gone through the games themselves. Though not every victor feels the same way. Some are starting to rise up during protests and are starting to become symbols of hope for the people and are showing the common people that they too can rise against the Capitol. Because of this the Capitol and those who run the Hunger Games are wanting to squelch those symbols of hope by putting them through the games once more, only this time they plan on having no one survive. They rigged the reaping by having all the victors that are rebelling happen to be chosen, though some of the others who are still being "good boys and girls" also got chosen just to fill the spots.
You will all be playing as past victors from the Hunger Games, so keep in mind what they have gone through and what that would have done to them and shaped them into the person they are today. Also remember that after the games they were treated as idols with a great and rich lifestyle and seen as the Capitol's children; meaning that some of you may not want to conspire against the Capitol.
Careful who you trust when you conspire and see if you can get out in time to start a revolution. We will be starting with everyone's arrival; meaning you have to go through the training with everyone, the judging of your skills by those who run the games, and interview on TV. Good luck.
Characters:
(note that Katniss and the other characters from the original Hunger Games stories will not be showing up in this rp, thus it is a "spin off". I just wanted to use the general story of Catching Fire, not the characters; I also don't expect to fill all these rolls I just wanted to put them all down so people can know which are taken and which are open.)
(note part 2 if you see that there is an overflow of a certain gender please be considerate and make a character in the gender we need; I don't mind having an odd number of females or males, but it's another thing when I only receive one or the other. I'll keep updates in the OOC of what we need)

[b]Character Sheet:
Name:
Age: (17 and up; please try to vary the ages as best you can)
Role: (the gender should be included)
District:
Victor of: (name which Hunger Game they won)
Appearance: (picture and at least a 2 paragraph description)
Personality: (2 paragraphs)
History: (2 paragraphs; please state in this section if you are with or against the Capitol and why)
Specialty: (weapon, skills if you aren't a fighter please keep the skills to their district; like a person from District 7 wouldn't be great at swimming or catching fish)
RP sample: (here I would like you to write a sample of your writing, you can make it about an important part of your characters past that's helped shape them, or a scene from when they were first in the Hunger Games. I will expect that however long you make your sample that that is generally how long your posts will be so I don't want to see a long sample here and then have you only write three sentences in your posts, but then again I don't want to see novels either)
RULES!!!
-I'm looking for prolific writers, meaning the posts I want to be at least 3 paragraphs long and keep spelling and grammar mistakes to a minimum
-I'd like reservations please and they will last 2 days, I won't accept WIP though you're perfectly find submitting them, just a forewarning (also I will let you know what is wrong with your character and why I haven't accepted it in the OOC so you can try and fix it though after three times I'll just say no because by then it's obvious that this isn't the right rp for you
-Romance is allowed, though I would like if you want to get hot and heavy for you to take that to the PM just so we don't make people uncomfortable
-I do expect there to be blood and guts, but let's not over do it (same goes for cursing)
-Please don't kill each other OOC and OC (I realize how ironic this is, but what story would we have if all the authors died)
-I will be the GM so let me take care of what dangers they'll encounter (if this becomes too difficult let me know and this rule may change, but let me try my idea first)
-if things start to get too slow within the games I may shake things up so be prepared
-let me know if you will be gone either physically or mentally (meaning writer's block) and write a post that will excuse your character for a while, like they went out alone and went missing just so you don't stop writing in the middle of a fighting scene that suddenly leaves the person alone
-if you break any rules I won't have a problem with actually killing your character and kicking you, out so try your best to follow them
-to see that you read the through the rules and have accepted them as good terms, please put in your character sheet at the bottom the title of your favorite book

Re: The Hunger Games: A Spin Off
To anyone else starting to be interested I would appreciate it now if some of you would start to think of reserving male characters as well. We are not in the "danger zone" yet, but if no one starts reserving male characters soon we will quickly be heading in that direction. Just a heads up!
Re: The Hunger Games: A Spin Off
@SailorTitan I understand how you feel, I just saw Catching Fire last night and immediately wanted to start my own version on here! =)
Re: The Hunger Games: A Spin Off
And I just went and saw Catching Fire over the weekend! It was AMAZING (
Anyway, yeah. ^^;
