Plot
“Welcome everyone to the seventy-first Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favour!”
Seventy-one years ago; the Thirteen Districts of Panem all rebelled against the authority of the Capitol that controlled them. They stood strong and fought bravely, but they were all at extreme disadvantages and once District 13 was Fire Bombed and completely obliterated, the other Twelve had no choice but to give up. The Capitol however, couldn’t just let it go even once they all surrendered. The Hunger Games were then created. Not exactly a game per say. More of an annual battle royale where each District is forced to offer a boy and a girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen. Twenty-four go in, one comes out. It’s the Capitol’s way of reminding them that resistance is futile. Strangely enough though it is viewed in the Capitol as a highly anticipated sporting event or festival.
Every year the children forced to participate are Reaped. The names of all the District’s children put into two giant glass balls, one for girls and one for boys, and whoever’s name is chosen must participate. In poorer Districts, it is almost surely a death sentence, while in richer Districts, the children are trampling each other to volunteer as a substitute for the person chosen. This is the year of the seventy-first Hunger Games and it may be your last year to have your name in or it may be your first, but either way; you have been chosen or volunteered to enter the Hunger Games and now you must kill or be killed.
Rules
1. No off-topicness please.
2. Be respectful of other players
3. No godmodding plz.
4. Try to keep it PG13 for the younger members, okay?
5. Don’t break the universe rules or else.
6. Plz actually post, don’t just drop out for no reason and tell us when you’ll be gone if you know in advance.
7. Correct spelling and grammar plz?
Universe Information/Rules
Panem is located in what seems to be a post-apocalyptic North America and no other countries are ever mentioned. The Capitol is at the center of it all and it is from there that President Snow rules the Twelve Districts with an iron fist. The Districts, no doubt trying to avoid any more Capitol wrath, quietly work on whatever production task the Capitol has given them. That task governs their trade and lifestyle and ultimately determines the riches Districts.
