The Hunger Games

[Arch-Mage Matt]

What are the Hunger Games?
The Hunger Games takes place in the future after the destruction of North America, in a nation known as Panem. Panem consists of a wealthy Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts.
As punishment for a previous rebellion against the Capitol, in which a 13th district was destroyed, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected by annual lottery to participate in the Hunger Games, a televised event in which the participants, or "tributes," must fight to the death in a dangerous, outdoor arena, controlled by the Capitol, until only one remains.

Cool, but what's the roleplay like?

Welcome to the 50th Hunger Games. First off, I don’t care if the 50th Hunger Games is mentioned in the books. I’m changing it.

Welcome to the 50th Hunger Games. As you’ve read above, the districts are going to go through hell very soon. They’re going to be thrust into a cruel world where survival is almost nonexistent. 24 enter, one will leave. Usually.

So I have to kill everyone else with my skillz?

But, in the 50th Hunger Games, there is a special exception. Out of the 24 children entering, 1 will not leave alive, as usual… but there is a possibility that 3 will leave alive. Alliances up to three made in the game will unite the tributes as one, meaning they can all leave alive. Please thank the benevolent lords in the Capitol for this gift.

Sounds amazing. Can I make my character have flamethrowers for hands?

No! The basic rules are that there can be a max of 24 players. There can only be one girl and one boy from each 12 districts. Also, please make your backstory similar to what district you are from. No god modding, and no killing players yourselves. That's my job.

What are these districts you speak of?

District 1: One of the wealthiest districts, this district produces luxury items for the Capitol such as diamonds. Tributes from this district generally want to be in the Hunger Games and train for it all of their lives.

District 2: This district is also very wealthy. This district produces most of the peacekeepers (Police/Military) for Panem. Because of this, District 2 tends to produce very fit and able warriors.

District 3: This district produces most electronics for Panem. That means they are generally very good at technology and engineering.

District 4: One of the wealthiest districts, District 4 produces some of the best tributes. Because of the district’s production of fishing materials, the tributes are apt in creating fishnets, tridents, and locating edible fish in lakes.

District 5: A relatively small and unremarkable district. This district produces electricity and power.

District 6: A very large district, district 6 produces transportation for the country.

District 7: The district responsible for producing lumber, District 7 produces tributes that are well trained for survival in the forest.

District 8: One of the poorer districts, District 8 is just a sprawling urban city with many textile factories.

District 9: Another unremarkable district, District 9 is responsible for making grain. It has several large factories.

District 10: another unremarkable district, 10 is responsible for producing livestock.

District 11: One of the poorest districts, 11 is responsible for agriculture.

District 12: The poorest district, 12 is responsible for coal mining.

Anything else I should know before I win this thing?

Remember, every player can die at any point if encountered by an enemy player or an event controlled by me. You can form an alliance if you encounter anyone in the Hunger Games. In the Hunger Games, you will need to continuously eat and drink or else you will die.

You will either win big or lose terribly in the Hunger Games. The better you are, the more gifts you will get. Gifts can be donated by rich onlookers of the Hunger Games. They usually contain food, water, weapons, or tools.

The game starts as you enter the Games. There are several backpacks containing supplies in the center of the arena, which you can grab and risk your life or run away. You will learn what kind of environment you are in when the game begins.

Remember, you can form alliances of over three people, but in the end, only three can leave. The outcomes of player-player battles will depend on how clever each fighter is. The one that overpowers or outwits the opponent wins.

Good luck.

Spoiler:

[Red Guardian]

Spoiler:

3 people from 1 district?

Spoiler:

Want to have a poor (or rich) character, be my guest. I just want to stay in the middle of the food chain.

[JVElEven]

Well, it says only two per district, one male and one female, so something's wrong here.

[Red Guardian]

Fine, I'll switch to a female.

[Red Guardian]

I'll drop out.

Nothing against you, Matt, but if the RP didn't even started and things are like these... Who knows what it'll be after?

[JVElEven]

Well, Matt said himself in the OP. We're just pointing it out so he doesn't have to.

[Red Guardian]

I changed my character twice. Changing again just feels like an annoying chore, sorry.

[Red Guardian]

I did read, perhaps I wasn't paying attention. Never made a mistake?

Don't cause problems

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Cardbird, assuming you mean to say female, accepted. John, you need to change districts because someone already claimed the male 3. As it said clearly in the OP, people,

There can only be one girl and one boy from each 12 districts.

If you didn't read the rules, then it's your own fault that you have to change your characters. Don't get mad at other people.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Accepted now.

[Imp]

This should be fun.

District: 8
Age (12-18): 15
Skills (Swords, bows and arrows, sneak, survival, fishing, medicine, speed, weapon making, technology. Choose three.): Fishing, sneak, speed

He has a scruffy type beard and facial hair. His teeth are unnaturally white and his chin is pointed. He doesn't have too much of a build on him, but can deal with his muscles burning quite well. He is pretty skinny and his hands have a few scars on them for early age reasons he has forgotten about.
Clothing, Item (Note: You can take 1 outside item into the games with you. It cannot be a weapon. Choose wisely. ): He wears black shirt and shorts. He has knee high black socks and black gloves. He wears a black hat. The item he decided to bring is a black fabric blanket with well placed stiching that allows it to easily shring to a sack.
Backstory: Hailing from Distric 8, he he used to many blankets and clothes during winter days and nights. He works in the factories and always had a knack for sneakinig around and taking a few things from people that they wouldn't miss. He went to go fish for his family after is long hours of work. His family is very kind to him, and have a lot of trouble seeing him go. Tyler's parents and two sisters suggested the blanket to keep warm, and to use as a sack.

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

I edited my character.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Both of you accepted, but Atom, please give your character clothes.

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

Oh yeah, forgot about that.

I might actually have him run around naked.
