The Hunger Games (In A Modern World) Sign-up and Discussion http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/role-playing-and-communal-story-building/threads/49975 Lady Absinthe The various police and different intelligence corporations refused to believe it. They refused to believe The Hunger Games a popular reality show airing only once a year was real. Yet, in a private gated city protected by the world's wealthiest, the children are trained and reaped each year for the show. But, this year..everything changed when a girl (an ex-tribute) was found in Arizona. And everything the world thought it knew..was destroyed. Now, in a hunt to rescue the children and family's (many of whom were specially chosen, then for the most part wiped off existence on records) from the next Hunger Games they may find their two late as another Hunger Games starts to open. Audiences world wide tune into the program, looking for answers and a way to stop it. We begin when the girl tribute has been found and brought into protective custody. (Note: The girl is only 14 years old and has blocked out a lot of memories which could lead to the city though with time and watching the games things do come back to her. Also, the government is partially behind it though their are international representative's as well. The federal agencies, police, and the people are not in support of it. Original characters and canons (though with some alteration) are allowed.) Need: The 14 year old girl Police, other agencies Those behind the games (officials, dressers, reporters, game makers,etc.) Audience members Sponsors Keepers/Mentors Family of those in the games Games Tributes Anything else go ahead and ask.

Her dark-brown eyes are often mistaken for black, and have a hawk-like intensity to them. She likes wearing as little clothes as possible. Personality: Loud and confident, Cori will always voice her opinions if she has them. Very passionate about certain subjects, she has ties only to her brothers and a select few friends, and will have no qualms at all about turning on her allies after she is through with them. A natural-born leader, she is also a flawless liar and has a good sense of pride and honour. History: She has an elder brother called Connor, and a twin called Ceon.

He stands at 153cm (5 feet). Quite pale from lack of sunlight. Personality: Mostly quiet and mistaken for unassuming at times. However, Aspen has a mean streak which comes into play as soon as the false posturing disappears and the games start. He has little regard for others and has a penchant for casual cruelty. He is known as the person that small animals disappear around. History: From a young age, Aspen was given the normal training, much like his contemporaries. However, he lacked the muscular strength required to swing heavy objects and thus took up the repeating crossbow. He has several older siblings (he is the youngest of his family). At the reaping, he volunteered to take his eighteen year old brother's place, thus ensuring that the brother would never get a chance at glory. If in games any talents: His primary weapon is the repeating crossbow. However, he has been given basic hand to hand training, although he shows little enthusiasm or skill for it. He can also throw stones with remarkable accuracy. (Hint: small animals may have been harmed during this operation.)

Personality: Really active and outdoorsy, well-read for his age and loves to talk to people. He's a performer. History: Tracy doesn't have any siblings, but he had a wonderful relationship with his parents, and his being taken from them crushed him. He soon bounced back, however, and threw himself wholeheartedly into the training, promising himself he'd win and go back. Talents: Tracy is charismatic, for the most part. He has a way of making people want to listen to him and follow him, and he's also not a bad shot with a bow, but as far as fighting goes he prefers a sword or something like it.

Her face is pointed and pale, giving her a peaked appearance, and she might possibly be considered pretty, although she doesn't have much of a figure. Personality: Lis is shy, cautious, and very withdrawn since the Games. She once was more open around people, but now you practically need a crowbar to pry anything from her. She hates conflict, but mostly because she's terrified she'll lose. History: Lis was reaped for training at a very early age from parents who didn't want her much anyway. She honed her skills well in the training, and they were enough to keep her alive through the Games. And then she was discovered wandering in Arizona, with no idea how she got there or why, and only vague memories of the Games. Talents: Lis is quick with her fingers and mastered several forms of knots shortly after arriving for training. She has a very technical mind, and can fully visualize plans of attack, defense, and diversion before putting them into action, but actual combat is her greatest weak spot. That all right?

Name: Mara Ashley Age: 17 Role: Tribute Country: England (Are we allowed more than two from a country? If not, I could change it.) Physical Description: Her hair is shoulder-length, black, and deliberately messy, to the point where people think she’s homeless. She’s about 5”5’. With her piercing silvery grey eyes and her face in a constant frown, she comes across as highly intimidating. Personality: Mara has a dark air about her. She keeps to herself and is very rarely one to start a conversation. People find her distant and private, as well as highly temperamental. She will lose her temper if someone insults her parents. Apart from her few friends and her adoptive family, she won’t open up about anything with anyone else. History: Her dad was killed when she was five. Her mum was killed when she was twelve. Before her mum died, she was coping well, and was living in the moment; but now she’s far from coping, as she has become a completely different person, filled with hate. When close family friends’ adopted her, she became a part of their family, with their two daughters. Despite her parent’s deaths, she does consider them as her family, even if only secondary. Around her secondary family and her friends, she can loosen up and show some elements of her former self, but in the public, she’s cold. She showed no emotion when she was reaped for the games; she showed no emotion throughout her training, and she plans on keeping it that way, until she makes her first kill. If in games any talents: Her only talent with weapons are the few lessons in throwing knives that her mother gave her before she died. She is nowhere near being an expert, but she’s skilled enough. At close combat, she can’t punch to save her life, but she can hack, slash and stab.

Let me consider it. And if I got the story right, the world's governments are now going to tune into the Games and try to stop it. If that's correct (and I assume in Panem, their are still people being reaped for the games), may I put a potential hold on the District 9 girl?

The world aka. civilian and police forces are working towards figuring out where the players are,etc. when it's realized it's not really a game. Panem is more or less the city they have been forced into with their family's. It's easier that way to reap them though in some cases they are taken from homes outside this city and brought into the game's. Their is no longer districts, it is more based on country now. For example, U.S.A., and England. All have been shipped to one location, the city set up, usually with family members and a mentor until they are moved to a secret location soon after we open. It is assumed while in the city mentor's are in fact teaching skills to the participants. At first it is not known that this reality show is well..real. When the appearance of the 14 year old girl sparks an investigation people work together to help authority's. We can assume this is not the first season of the games and that the dead never really return home. We also need police,civilian, and major players behind the games including dressers, host, game makers,etc. I'd love to see you join us.

She has choclate brown hair down to her waist, but tends to keep it up in a ponytail behind her right ear. She has an angular face, slightly tanned from constant training. Her eyes are dark brown, most people think they're black. She's really thin, but it doesn't really hinder her athletic ability. She has a scar running down from her shoulderblade to her hip which she hates to show. Personality: She's confident and outgoing, but secretly doubts herself. She always seems to be smiling, so a lot of people seem to accept her. People find that they are able to talk to her easily, so she usually listens to their problems. She does a lot of quirky things, like walk backwards when she can. She's extremely protective and won't let anyone mess with her friends. History: At age ten, her parents were killed in a car accident. The only reminder is the scar on her back. An orphan, she was selected as one of the the tribute candidates. Ever since then, she has trained and watched her friends die. Talents for the games: She's lightning fast and her slim frame allows her to climb trees and jump from branches. She also is good at hiding because she can fit into small places. She is skilled with a sword (mostly rapiers, otherwise they can get to heavy) and refuses to use guns unless necessary because she finds them too loud. She knows a few basics in self-defense, but is only moderately skilled in hand-to-hand combat.

It is likely before the game's they have implanted a chip in the children allowing them to temporarily understand each other. Also, as they in most cases were raised in the same sealed off city, though representing the country they were originally from, they do understand each other on a basic level.)

Two weeks!! Anyhow, I saw that you didn't have any of these yet. Name: Jove Thestermere. Age: 22. Role: Gamemaker. Country: Panem (but originally Canada). Physical Description: A slight fellow who looks younger than half of the tributes. True to Capitol form, the most normal thing about him is the deep green highlighting his black hair. He likes cravats and breeches and generally looking like an Easter egg. His voice is quiet. Personality: Understated, usually calm, but cruel and occasionally unhinged. History: He and his sisters had originally been taken to be tributes, but after he was observed making arena plans in his sketchbook, they transferred him to gamemaker training. (Lady Absinthe, tell me if I'm interpreting Panem wrong and I can change this.) Both his sisters died games he helped design.
