Yes. Only one. I or my fellow GMs could explain them. I don’t have time right now though to explain them.

@Edema Rue could you explain them in the beginning post?

Yeah, I’m not great with powers but I’ll link what the coppermind has.

Hello, one and all! Welcome to the signups for the Cytoverse Hunger Games! Please read this whole post if you’re interested in participating, I know it’s long but it’s all important information.

First, here is your character sheet:

Character Sheet Upon Sign Up:

The things in red are required, anything else can be skipped if you haven’t read skyward/the hunger games. Also, if you won’t be especially active, alliances will be hard.

Next, we have the fun little blip of Ookla season coming up! If you’re planning on participating, please let us know what your username will be, because these games are incredibly hard to run when we don’t know who’s who

Now…plot. The whole idea for the hunger games is that everyone dies. That’s the way these RP’s work. But, since we the GM’s want to have fun too, that means we’ll be doing our own plot. We’ll try hard not to take over the entire thread (I know there was a lot going on with the GM’s in the last games especially) but if you guys aren’t killing each other, we’ll get bored. Just a heads up. Conflict is crucial for these games to work. If every character decides to run away and hide in a tree, this won’t be fun for anyone. So…fight, and accept that you will probably die! It makes the games fun. That being said, the GM’s aren’t the only ones allowed to fall in love, be monsters, have lives and emotions and plot. We do, however, plan some things out. So if you’re interested in being more than just a tribute, please PM us! We’re more than happy to let you figure out plot with other characters and maybe the GM’s as long as you let us know. There must be an order to the chaos if we want to enjoy it

We also have the issue of activity. These games are almost notorious for moving really fast, and we get that it can be really, really hard to keep up with them while life is happening. That’s fine, just…be mindful of it. With this games, if you’d like an alliance you can form it among yourselves on this thread (or another that I’ll explain in a minute). We’ve previously had issues where people can’t do anything because people they’re allied with are inactive, so if you won’t be able to check the thread more than once or twice a day, be careful with interactions. (Again, none of this is rules or saying you can’t, it’s just more convenient for others)

So, that other thread I mentioned! Signups are exactly a week, you have until next Sunday, and during that week we decided to try a sort of…pre-rp. We’ll see how it goes. This games is interesting because since it’s cytoverse, you can be anyone and anything from anywhere. So if you want to, you can put your character into the DDF, Starsight, or anywhere else for a week. This isn’t required, and is just a fun thought so that your characters can have backstory before we plop them into the games. @SmilingPanda19 will be making that thread later today for anyone who’s interested, but again, you don’t need to do that in order to play the games.

These games are cytoverse in celebration of Defiant, which comes out November 21st. Any new information released there won’t be included for these games, since a lot of people can’t read it for a while after it comes out.

Last, I just want to quickly mention etiquette. The GM’s are just people who want to have a good time. The magic won’t be perfectly aligned with canon, and this won’t be perfect in any form of the word. If you look for flaws, then stars above you will find them. You won’t have fun, though.

EDIT: here is what the coppermind has on powers

• 3.1Sense
• 3.2FTL Communication
• 3.3Mind Speed Acceleration
• 3.4Mindblades
• 3.5Concussion Bolts
• 3.6FTL Travel
• 3.7Mind Swap
• 3.8Cytonic Suppression
• 3.9Trans-cytonic processing
• 3.10Illusions

And…I think that’s all! Any questions, comments, concerns, or emotional outbursts can be answered by your GM’s: @The Wandering Wizard @Ancient Elantrian @SmilingPanda19 @Edema Rue @Thaidakar the Ghostblood @shortcake 

Happy hunger games, my friends!!

I've never read either so I don't know much about planets, ships, or districts, so I didn't choose anything for those. This character is not to be confused with [Redacted], who is off somewhere else in the cosmere at the moment.

Didn't Earth get destroyed, or something? That's why they were on Detritus.

I dunno. This is what Coppermind says.

Earth, sometimes called the Old Earth, is the home planet of humans in the Cytoverse.^[2]

During the early days of humanity's contact with aliens, Earth was ruled by a single institution called the United Governments, aided by the United Intelligence Bureau. The Phone Company, the telecom that served as the liaisons between humanity and aliens, was also headquartered there.^[3] Over time, however, the planet grew largely irrelevant.^[1] Even its location seems to have been forgotten, with some people incorrectly speculating that Detritus might be Earth's ruins.^[4] Nonetheless, both astrophysical data and numerous historical records of Old Earth remain within humanity's and Superiority's data banks.^[5][6]

By the time the Superiority became a major power, Earth appears to have vanished.^[6] Whether it simply means it can't be found on any star charts, or if it's somehow no longer where it should be, is unclear.

Oh. Well I can't exactly see how the gamemakers will find you on a lost planet, but it's probably fine.
