#The Hunger Games rpg

[rulethewcrld-hq]

There has been a buzz for weeks. This is the 75th year of the Hunger Games. President Snow will be announcing the Quarter Quell and day. The Capitol citizens are making bets on the twist, excited to see what this year will bring. The Districts are waiting with bated breath, but not of excitement. For the Districts this will be another year to loose children, loved ones.

The day has finally come. Televisions across the nation cut out and reveal the Capitol's emblem. Projectors and loud speakers have been set up in the District Squares with speakers throughout the districts to broadcast the announcement so that not a single individual can miss it.

The Capitol emblem changes to a showing of President Snow, in front of his estate. Before him sits a box which he opens to reveal a series of yellowed envelopes. He begins to speak,

"Ladies and gentlemen of Panem. This is the 75th year of the Hunger Games and it was written in the charter of the games that every twenty-five years there would be a Quarter Quell to keep fresh for each new generation the memory of those who died during the rebellion against the Capitol. Each Quarter Quell is distinguished by games of a special significance. Now, on the 75th anniversary of the Capitol's victory against the rebellion we celebrate the third Quarter Quell. As a reminder that even those whom brought small victories to their families and friends in little battles that ultimately killed many both District and Capitol alike were implicit in the darkest part of our nation's history, the male and female tributes of the 75th Hunger Games will be chosen from a pool of young men and women chosen by each victor of their District. Each victor will choose one young man of at least twelve years of age and one young woman of at least twelve years of age to be placed in the reaping bowls for their district. Happy Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favor!"

As President Snow raises a glass to the cameras, the screens return to the Capitol emblem as the national anthem plays loudly for all to hear.

The Quarter Quell has been announced. The nation of Panem will be reeling for a while, whether in celebration or mourning. The Victors of Panem have a tough choice to make.

Abel Evans (he/him). District 9 Tribute. 25. Harry Styles.

Born into a tiny house in the ninth district of Panem, Abel’s entrance to the world was unexpected, but celebrated by his parents all the same. Their dreams for a better life for their children were ultimately crushed when they perished in a fire while Abel was still learning to talk. He spent the rest of his childhood under his grieving aunts care along with his sister and his cousins.

Raised in the shadow of loss, Abel found out a little too young that survival often meant going without. He learned to fend for himself in some ways, maybe not the most ethical, but stealing food to fill small bellies could hardly be called a crime, could it?

Selected as tribute at the tender age of fourteen, Abel faced the daunting challenge with mostly fear, but a small bit of hope as well. Against all odds, he was crowned victor, thanks to his strong alliances and unexpected skills. His victory came at quite a heavy cost, so young with so little support, Abel lost himself in the land of luxury while his scars never had a chance to fully heal.

Apart from his sister, who he didn’t get to see very often, he became estranged from the rest of his family, his aunt blaming herself for his reaping, his cousins too young to make contact. Abel sought solace in the numbness that alcohol brought, and soon it would become apparent that this was as essential as the oxygen he needed to breathe.

Despite his inner demons, he put his all into mentoring. Each tribute he worked with he treated as if the first, dedicating all of his hours to training, strategising with other mentors, dancing the thin line with sponsors who never knew when enough was enough. All that tireless work never amounted to anything for him though, tribute after tribute lost to the games, and all he was left with was the ink on his skin, a reminder of the lives he felt he failed, time and time again.

As he grew and somewhat matured, his feelings on the games only intensified. He’d heard mutters from his aunt about his parents and their rebellious beliefs, and he shared those same views now, decades on. He wanted to join the cause, but the drinking and the drugs, the partying and distractions, they always seemed to get in the way, to steer him away from the fight he should be fighting, but maybe protecting him all the same. Instead, he chose the lazy way, threw money at the members, joined a fight or two when it was convenient, all the while having to drown himself in whiskey to escape the reality of it all.

After losing the latest of nine’s tributes; Oxford, the brother of his own district partner, who saved his life only for her own to be sacrificed, and Farina, a force to be reckoned with, a girl who had a real chance in there, Abel spiralled. It was like his sister had known, when she forced him home for a few days, under the pretence that she was ill, when in reality it was nothing more than a sniffle.

A dinner with his aunt only worsened his anxieties, when she told him all about her bad feelings, her nightmares, how she’d read his cards and saw a dance with death clear as day. He left nine feeling worse even though Liz had filled him up with food and let him sleep for days. He spent every night until reaping filled with whiskey and the rest, and it showed as he stood on that stage with dark shadows under his eyes, his jeans slipping down his thinning waist.

“Abel Evans” they announced, and he collapsed right there on the stage.

District Token: His sister’s leather bracelet.

Strengths: Social, Good with Knives, Resilient.

Weaknesses: Unfit, Impulsive, Addictive

So are people making tributes for them to die? Or is there a plan? I'm just curious!

there are definitely some people who are down and willing to kill their tributes! and while we definitely have a plan in place, not every tribute can survive. as we are halfway to full tribute capacity, and people continue to fill out those slots, i strongly strongly advise not to bring a tribute you're going to be too passionate about. we will never ever ever kill your character without your consent, but also know there's only so much we can do! this is a hunger games rp and unfortunately not everyone can live! we will, of course, be killing off all unapplied tributes/npc tributes first ((:

HERE IN THE OLD THEREBEFORE ;

The Capitol - Year 25

While the Hunger Games flourish with astounding developments year after year, the Capitol evolves right alongside them. Gone are the remnants of war that plunged the nation into darkness a quarter of a century ago. Now the city stands strong in all its splendour, embracing technological advancements in its every corner, reaping the fruits of the industrious districts surrounding it. President Maximinius Ravinstill is as beloved as he has always been, ruling with fortitude and stability in equal measures. Perhaps he will rule for as long as he lives. To the nation at large, that feels like a safe assumption to make.

Unbeknownst to most citizens, however, there are tremors on the ground. As the Games and the city grow stronger, so do these tremors, rattling right beneath the nation’s highest seat. Ravinstill is aging—quite terribly, too—and his grip on power is slipping. Loyal friends and family try to hold on to what they can, but they can only do so much. There are other key players on the board now; those that conduct transportation, those that influence resources, those that control infrastructure. And what of the newly minted Head Gamemaker, with the Plinth artillery at his beck and call?

Nobody knows for certain what a shift in the power structure would mean to Panem at this time. Perhaps it is too early to tell. Nevertheless, factions are already forming among the elevated few. Not unlike the sitting president, these are the sort that would sacrifice whole districts in exchange for their ambitions, so to that effect, perhaps whose regime ends up replacing the current matters little. Those with the authority to enact change continue to do so to further their personal goals. So long as the Capitol machinery remains well-oiled, nothing is truly out of bounds for the wealthy and powerful.

THEOLDTHEREBEFOREHQ is a new, semi-appless Hunger Games / TBOSAS AU Roleplay. Acceptances are happening daily!

When the star-crossed lovers of the 74th Annual Hunger Games met their unfortunate end during a cave collapse, the Capitol and President Snow thought they'd contained the spark that had already begun. District Two was named victor of the 74th Annual Hunger Games just days later and everything seemed to be going as normal. The Capitol was placated further as the Victory Tour for Cato Hadley went off without a hitch. However, unbeknownst to the nation, the spark wasn't completely contained. Embers continued to smolder around the districts and whispers traveled in the corners of the districts, but the Capitol had it under control. Will the Capitol continue to control the nation? Or will the rebellion make themselves known more publicly? Only time will tell, and in the meantime, the Quarter Quell is upon us. The nation waits with bated breath to find out what the Quell will host.

Join us as we embark on the Quarter Quell and the rebellion as it flares to life - or flounders and dies out.

[eventideads]

Have you heard the whispers? President Snow just announced the twist of the third Quarter Quell: district citizens from the ages of twenty-five to sixty-four will be eligible for the Reaping. And while those in the Capitol are celebrating the highlight of their year, those in the districts are once again reminded that no person is safe. May the odds be ever in their favor!

[rulethewcrld-hq]

It has been nearly a year since the historic victory of Cato Hadley of District Two during the Seventy-Forth Annual Hunger Games. He has made his way through the districts for his Victory Tour and has settled into life as a victor quite well, but now the nation waits with bated breath of the announcement of the Quarter Quell as the Seventy-Fifth Annual Hunger Games approaches. What will the Quarter Quell hold for the districts? Who will they be sending into the arena? How will the tributes be chosen? It is June 30th and President Snow will be making the announcement on July 1st. Some cannot sleep. Others could not care less what the twist is and sleep like babies. One thing is for certain though, in the coming weeks many families will have to watch the deaths of their loved ones.

Rule The World is an AU Hunger Games RPG in which Katniss and Peeta did not win the 74th Hunger Games. As such, there is no rebellion, and the victors will not have to face the consequences of the newest amongst them. We are an 18+ semi-appless group that will explore all facets of the world of the Hunger Games including playing through the games, hosting balls and events, being able to sponsor tributes, and ultimately crowning a victor. Come join us as we gear up for the Third Quarter Quell.

APHRODITE SALTSHORE (courtney eaton fc) the odds are in your favor! Please report to your nearest Capitol Agent to be prepped for the 74th Annual Hunger Games! 

ooc

Alias/Age/Pronouns/Timezone: Mikey, 22, They/Them, MST

Triggers: [REDACTED]

If you had to describe your muse as a canon Hunger Games character, or mix, who would you compare them to and why? Aphrodite is mostly Finnick adjacent. She’s very charming and alluring and really knows how to read and play people. Naturally, she does have a bit of an ego. However, she’s like Johanna in the sense that she kind of plays the sweet, bubbly, and rosy cheeked as a strategy until they are in the arena. It’s probably like an 80-20 balance between Finnick and Jo!

Anything else? N/A

basics

[COURTNEY EATON, CIS WOMAN, SHE/HER] The 74th Annual Hunger Games are upon us and here comes APHRODITE SALTSHORE, the DISTRICT 4 TRIBUTE. Word around The Capitol is that they’re CHARMING and DESIRABLE but can also be MANIPULATIVE and DECEITFUL. According to sources, they’re 19 and were once described as sea foam, thin white skirts riding up, looks that kill, and lurking near tombstones. What a character! As we always say, may the odds be ever in their favor!

biography

Aphrodite wasn’t born into money. Her parents were older, already graying, well-established and loved within the community by the time they welcomed their first and only child. While Rusty and Eldoris were far better than those in the outer districts, with enough fish to always feed themselves at least, by the standard of Four, they struggled. The Saltshores lived in a small fishing colony, on the outskirts, and near the shore. A place maintaining some old-way traditions over the decades, and where Rusty was only one of a dozen fishermen in town. Him and Eldoris settled down in a cabin on the edge so Rusty could take off to sea whenever he needed. The couple promised each other they’d wait to have children until they were doing better financially, but Rusty was only one man, too poor to hire extra staff and still be able to feed his family. What kind of life was that for a child? Aphrodite’s birth was a miracle, happening in the early hours of the morning, shrouded in darkness near the shore by her home. Eldoris bathed her in the water of the ocean, tucked her inside her shirt, then carried her a few hundred yards back to their home. 

Rusty and Eldoris were as loving as they were old fashioned. Aphrodite’s earliest members include her mother spending what felt like hours brushing through her hair so it could be as silky as possible, slaving over old linens to make them nicer for her daughter to wear, so none of the kids at school would know she wasn’t as fortunate as the rest of them. That was never a problem though, from a young age Aphrodite experienced no struggles in forging friendships, beneficial or not. Aphrodite has never suffered lack of attention a day in her life. Rusty tried his best to be a good fisherman, but it never clicked. He taught his daughter to tie knots and carve spears and gut fish while Eldoris, the brains, truly kept them afloat. Then one day– she was struck with genius. Eldoris wasn’t ignorant to the type of attention her daughter attracted. She saw a way out. Forge an arranged union with a wealthy family, and their daughter would never have to struggle like them.

 Amoreena Prime was a year older than Aphrodite. Her father had served in the military and quickly climbed in the ranks. When Adonis Prime returned from his service in District Two, he settled back home with a nice pension and got acquainted with his newfound respect and influence. His time in two was inspiring, so when he had his first child, he vowed to train her in secret as a career, as the law forbade it, aching for glory in District Four. When Rusty and Eldoris approached him with the preposition, he took pity on the poor old couple and their sweet daughter and agreed to the arrangement. Adonis remembered how it felt to be up and coming, and he was sure his daughter would become of historic importance. Amoreena would have a beautiful wife at her side one day, as she deserved. It was a done deal.

 Aphrodite did as she was told and agreed to the marriage. Sweet sixteen rolled around when she was informed and Eldoris made it very clear this was not optional. Ma and Dad had been good, loving parents, Aphrodite knew this, so she’d suck it up in order to try and give them a better life in return. What she remembered most about Amoreena was her thirst, drowning in the visions of grandeur she’d shared with her father. The girls spent close to every day together, fishing, swimming, collecting shells, training, or preparing meals. Aphrodite learned it wasn’t so hard to love. The 72nd Hunger Games paraded into town before too long, giving Aphrodite an unexpected fit of fear. She’d always known the plan was for Amoreena to volunteer the year she turned eighteen, she’d been made to feel confident in this plan. But as her betrothed triumphantly walked up to the platform, Aphrodite soaked up the sight of her, debilitated by nausea.

 For weeks, Aphrodite never got out of an earshot of the radio, television, or anything that could give her a direct update to Amoreena. When she died on night six of the games, so did part of Aphrodite. Folks didn’t see her around town for months, a felt absence. The Saltshores sank back into the depths of their poverty. Aphrodite could only be seen like a ghost in the night, weaving through the cemetery and weeping. She’d learned a lesson in trusting those around her– don’t. The Games and Capitol were completely recontextualized for her. While she mulled over this grief for near half a year, when she emerged at eighteen, it was as if she’d never experienced this tragedy. To ease her own boredom between trading her name in the reaping bowl for rations, she twirled through local shanties, went off with the boys giggling. The entire corner of Four was wrapped around her finger. The year following Amoreena’s slaughter taught her more than ever how to read people, how to get her way. Aphrodite deserved what she wanted after what she’d been through.

That was however, until her name was inevitably reaped. That many times bailing her frail parents out, Aphrodite reckoned it would happen eventually. She took it in stride, knowing from that moment forth it was more than local eyes on her, cameras gave Panem direct access and she planned to accentuate her natural assets as a darling. Even though resentment bubbled, even though it felt as Amoreena’s ghost stood behind her, she planned on returning home at all costs.
