[rose petals.]

The Hunger Games are a punishment set by the Capitol, meant to punish the districts for rebelling.
Two children from the ages of 12-18 are reaped at random from each district to fight to the death.
The games are a televised spectacle for the Capitol, and it is treated as reality tv. But now it is time
for the Reaping again, and your name has been drawn. Will you go down as one of the few lucky victors,
or will your fate be decided in the arena?

[rose petals.]

ok everyone so there are a couple of rules just to keep this running smoothly.
1. No gore or excessive violence. I know this is a hunger games roleplay and death is a major concept but lets keep the violence to a minimum as this is a family friendly site.
2. Only post character forms and ooc on the discussion thread. It makes posts easier to respond to when there isn't any spam on the main thread.
3. Only three four characters per person, this could change but as of right now please refrain from making a ton of characters.
4. Only make tributes. This is only because most of the roleplaying will take place in the arena, where you can pretty much only play as tributes.
5. Don't get upset if your character dies, because lets face it, most of the characters will die. However, if there is an argument over which tribute wins a fight, please resolve it cleanly and with little to no conflict. If you simply can't come to an agreement I will randomize a winner for you.
6. Please be active, ig you do not post in over a week I will remove you.
7. I can add more rules below if I need to.

the field:
The tributes will arrive in a large field around the cornucopia. It is completely flat but covered with tall grass and sharp roots. It is in the very center of the cornucopia, but the only thing tributes can see from here are a thick woodland to the west and some rocky foothills to the north. The field not only has little to no hiding places, it also doesn't have a water source, although there seem to be a fair amount of edible insects and mammals roaming around this part of the arena.

the forest:
To the west of the field there is a large forest, this massive woodland takes up a third of the arena on its own, and it is exceptionally easy to get lost in here. Various creeks and streams snake across these woods, providing clean water and a path. However these are in a maze them self, making it no easier to find your way than walking along the forest floor. Although there is plenty of water and places to hide in the undergrowth, surprisingly there isn't a lot of food. You could pick berries from bushes, but most of the time those would be poisonous. Small mammals also live here, but they are hard to catch. Beware, Jabberjays, tracker jackers, and many other Capitol muttations also live in these woods.

the foothills:
To the north of the field there are barren rocky slopes. It is a grueling walk to hide out in the foothills, but if your goal is to hide, you've found the right place. Crevices and caves in the rocks make it perfect to hide out for a while, as long as you aren't hungry or thirsty. There is no vegetation here, or any nearby water source. During the day, venomous snakes hide under loose rocks, and at night, mysterious wolf muttations hunt the area. The foothills are definitely not a welcoming place.

the gorge:
Directly to the northeast of the field you will find the gorge. It is here the land suddenly drops off and plummets about 20 feet into a fast paced, rock laden river. There are many narrow paths that could lead a tribute down to the water, where there is a narrow coastline. It is a dangerous place to be however, especially as one wrong move and you could be swept away in the raging waters. Despite the danger, if you could swim to a flat rock 3/4 of the way across, the water will be calmer and it would prove to be an excellent fishing spot. Be careful of eels, if you touch an alive one, it could electrify you, and if you eat it, you could die of the poison.

the creek:
Starting as a spring just south of the foothills, this creek makes its way across basically the entire arena. It goes through the forest, being fed by other creeks and streams there, before going through the dead woodland, the orchard, and eventually plummeting over the side of the gorge as a waterfall. It is filled with carnivorous fish, as well as bloodthirsty leeches, it is also a breeding ground for all sorts of insects, including mosquitoes and gnats. Thick reeds and grass provide a hiding spot along the banks, as well as the occasional bush.

the orchard:
At the very southeastern part of the arena, there is the orchard. This could seem as an oasis for starving or thirsty tributes, as beautiful ripe fruit dangles from the limbs of these trees here. The creek also flows through here on its way to the gorge. each fruit bares a striking resemblance to a plum, except they omit a strange glow. If the fruit is glowing yellow, the fruit is ripe and ready to eat. If it is glowing green, one bite from this fruit will kill you.

the dead woodland:
To the south of the field is a dead forest, connected to the main forest, that has died for some unknown reason. It is a very foreboding place, even more so as tributes find out the dead woodland is infested with deadly scorpions. Besides from that, the creek also runs through here, offering a good water source for the thirsty.

Cassia had been waiting her whole life for this moment. For when the pedestal began to rise and she saw the light of day begin to break over her head. The sight of 23 other kids all standing in a circle around one golden cornucopia. She glanced at the tribute next to her, Avion. As they were both career tributes, and from district 2, they had agreed to work together. Cassia knew he would help her, but she wasn’t sure at what point they would go from allies to enemies. The girl from 2 barely had enough time to look around. Although there were supplies spread around the cornucopia, the real prize would be what was at the center. As long as she could get to it first. The timer decreased down to one, and the games suddenly began in lightning fast speed. Cassia was running full speed to the cornucopia. The pile of weapons inside was dangerous, and she felt her fingers brush against sharp metal. She pulled out a thin, silver sword. It was not the weapon Cassia would have picked, but it was good enough to defend herself. Wheeling around, she found it just in time to see a boy running towards her, Cassia recognized him as the boy from district 8. What was his name? It didn’t matter, as he moved to grab her by the neck, she ducked away and drove her sword into his back. Cassia wasted no time wiping the blood off the sword with her shirt. Energized from her first kill, Cassia ran a few yards from the cornucopia, looking for any fleeing tributes she could chase after.

Nerves were knotting Lorin’s stomach as tightly as possible as his pedestal began to rise. There was no way he could do this! The harsh sunlight in the arena momentarily blinded him but he still managed to look around. There was a forest… would that be where most of the tributes went first? The sound that triggered the games to begin jarred Lorin from his thoughts. I’m not ready yet! He thought, before beginning to run to the cornucopia, eyes on a spear. He almost made it before, doubling back, realizing it would be too risky. The indecision cost him, and he realized he had to escape now or he would likely be killed. Running as fast as his legs would take him Lorin raced in the opposite direction of the woods.

Juniper’s fists were curled up into balls at her side. She was breathing heavily, thinking only about if she would die instantly. Maybe Benji would help her? Her counterpart from district 7 had agreed to ally with her, even though he didn’t seem to like her that much. Juniper also remembered that the girl from district 3, Raven, had agreed to team up with them, as well as Melanie from district 9. Glancing around, Juniper decided that the safest thing for her to do would be to run to the trees in the distance. If she didn’t grab weapons, she could be there before anyone caught her. But what if she didn’t? She’d need something to defend herself. The countdown reached 1 and Juniper had to make a split-second decision. She leapt forward at the sound and found a knife. Wrapping her fingers around its handle she turned and sprinted towards the trees, the run feeling eternal and her muscles screamed. It wasn’t long before she dove into the safety of the underbrush, feeling the safety of the knife in her hand. Squeezing in between two trees and shielding herself from sight Juniper waited.

Joshua fought hard to fight the nerves and tears that were threatening to take control of him as the pedestal began to rise. This was it, he was going to die here. The arena at first glance seemed to just be a big field, basically a slaughterhouse in Joshua’s opinion. He had to make sure that he made a quick escape, or he might be the first to die. Not wanting that to happen, as soon as he heard the sound, he sprang forwards and raced straight for the coverage of the forest. Not thinking much, the boy ran until the sounds of the cornucopia were far behind him.

indentationBenji stood on the platform, ready to run. He surveyed the scene before him. Ben found what he was looking for, axes. He immediately set his body towards them, ready to run at them, grab,and then dart. He had allies of course. Juniper, the princess of district 7, Raven from district 3, and Melanie the kid from 9. A rag tag team he wouldn't have picked if the circumstances were different. The countdown finally hit 1 and they were off. He avoided everyone he could. Benji grabbed what he was looking for. He looked up while running and saw Juniper running in the same direction ahead of him. He ran harder to catch up with her. He hid in the underbrush with her. Benji looked at her and showed her his axes he snatched.

indentationKipper stood on the platform with all the confidence in the world. He had no training but he was a hard working farm boy. He knew he could take down someone if needed be. He looked at the stuff laid out. No sythes but there is axes. He got ready to jump and run as the countdown got closer to 1. When the timer went off he was gone but a boy got the axes before him. "Dang it!" He mumbled to himself and just took off somewhere to the left of the arena. He ran as far as his legs could take him until he collasped. Out of breath and in the open, he slowly crawled to the safety of a bush.

xxxxxxxxShe was comprehending everything right then and there. How fast everything took place. The metal plate beneath her feet rising in the process. Her mentor was a friendly woman, always insisting Jennifer put a smile on her face and replace that constant glare she carried. She had dark brown hair, green eyes, and a toned build. She was relatively wise and hated the Capitol much like Jen. Her mentor most certainly liked her but Jen wasn't sure how she felt. It was neutral on her end, more or less. Before Jennifer departed, she had even tried to kiss her cheek but she shrunk away from it and stepped into the tube. She knew it was good-natured but that was simply too far for her. Didn't matter now, who knew if she was ever going to see her again.
xxxxxxxxHigher and higher the device climbed. There it was, the cornucopia. Above it were projected orange numbers, counting down from sixty with a resounding clap each time. Her vision momentarily spotty due to the sudden shift in brightness. Her eyes adjusted quickly and now they had forty seconds left on the clock. She looked around at the twenty-three other tributes, standing on their plates and at the ready. She positioned herself into a sprinting stance. Five, pause, four, pause, three, pause, two, pause, one! An ear-piercing, cacophonous sound rang and everyone took off. Into the mouth of the cornucopia or back into the woods. Her mentor insisted she avoid the cornucopia, tributes from Twelve were notorious for dying within the first few seconds of the games but Jennifer was determined to go down differently. She was already grabbing at the bow and arrows that sat against a backpack. Assured that'd be of use, she snagged it too and ran the opposite direction of the District Two female. The woods. An optimal place for Jennifer Dire. She ran and ran until she was within the safety of its arms.
xxxxxxxxShe didn't stop when she reached it, though, she kept going. As far in as possible. The more distance she put between her and everyone else, the better. For now she found a pile of brush and ducked behind it to check and see what she had. The quiver held twenty-four arrows, but what about the backpack? She opened it and carefully removed its contents. A rope, a knife, a small box of matches, a canteen, and a compass. The canteen was empty, of course. She'd need to find a water source first and foremost. From where she was hidden, she peered out and both looked and listened for anyone who might be near. Not picking up anything besides the trill of birds she stood and started walking in the opposite direction.

Juniper knew the importance of keeping quiet, and she nodded at Benji and the axes. She was glad he was able to secure such substantial weapons. In turn, Juniper extended her hand to show Benji the knife that she had grabbed. It was a sturdy dagger with a thick leather handle. It didn't have a sheath so Juniper would have to be careful with it.

Joshua scurried into the cover of bushes as he heard footsteps. Whose there?! He dove into the bushes as he saw a girl approach. He didn't recognize her, but watched as she walked through the woods. Joshua took note of what she had. He could see she had a bow and a backpack, and there was no telling what she had hidden. This girl could easily be a threat to him if he made his presence known. The boy from 10 was quickly regretting his choice to not find a weapon to defend himself as he crouched in the undergrowth.

hailey stood on the pedestal, terrified out of her mind. while the timer ticked down to her inevitable demise, she scanned the arena wildly, finally zeroing in on kipper, the boy from eleven. the two had agreed to be allies, although hailey wasn't sure how long that would last. she focused on his aura of confidence, his strong stance. she steadied her breathing, then looked to the cornucopia. she spotted her weapon of choice, the scalpel chain. she debated whether to go for it, looking around at the other tributes. there were too many whose gazes were trained on the cornucopia. it would be a quick finish to hailey's time in the games if she went in there. she knew how to make a slingshot, so she wouldn't be completely weaponless.

her mind made up, she positioned herself to run into the forest. at the sound of the games beginning, hailey ran towards the east, but stopped, mesmerized by the fighting. she spotted kipper going for some axes, which he didn't reach, then run away. hailey took off after him, losing him in the foliage. she slowed, nervous. "kipper?" she called out softly. "it's me, hailey. from ten?" the blonde hesitated, stopping. "kipper?"

mason stood on the pedestal, holding himself sturdy. he was terrified, but his exterior didn't show that. he knew how to hide his emotions. mason scanned the cornucopia, spying a trident, ripe for the taking. he was determined to get home and help his younger siblings again. he had to win these games. he could even prove his older brothers wrong about him. at the sound of the games starting, mason charged straight for the trident, grabbing it quickly. he turned around, coming face-to-face with the girl from eight. he didn't hesitate, he didn't think. he just stabbed, killing the girl instantly. mason looked around, panicked. he had to choose a place to run. he spotted lorin, the boy from three, running in the opposite direction of the woods.

careers know what they're doing, right?mason took off after the boy, trident in hand. maybe he'd be able to ally with lorin. the chances were slim, mason knew.
