Edema Rue she/her Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 (edited) Hello there, and happy hunger games to all! (Sorry about how long this post is, but please read it all! It's very important information!) To those who thought this was going to be cosmere, sorry about the confusion there. Here you can sign up for the Smedry Hunger Games! To those who haven’t read Alcatraz vs. The Evil Librarians, the coppermind is your friend…or you can read really really fast. Since each of your characters is essentially young nobility, it’s pretty logical that a lot of them could be distant cousins. So, each character will have a Talent; a silly little magical quirk that can be both annoying and useful; such as the ability to always be late, which could be a problem for most of your life, until you arrive late to an injury, or your own death… (if you haven’t read Alcatraz, this is an example from the books. Don’t use it pretty please). Come up with any Talent you'd like, but we need to approve it. If you'd rather not have a Talent, that's okay too! To sign up, just fill out the character sheet below and post it here! Only the things in red are required, but the more you develop your characters, the funner it'll be to play them! (Psst-the GM's love conflict. If even one or two characters can facilitate that, it makes our job easier and the games funner!) Note: all tributes must be children from the capitol. Spoiler Name: Age (between 8 and 18):Gender: Talent: Favored weapons (if any): Backstory: Other info: Art (of your character): If you have questions, comments, or concerns, please put them in the chat thread. If you’d like to plan alliances or relationships with other characters, that’s awesome, but please do that in the chat thread or through PM’s. (We’d like to keep this thread from getting too clogged up, so as to not lose anyone’s character sheets). Signups will close at midnight on February 11th, I assume EST but I’m not sure, so get your characters in before then! The games will startIn the meantime, you can keep roleplaying and developing characters in the district RP’s, though none of your characters will know they’re going to be in the hunger games. You can start using your Talent in the district RP’s ONLY once myself, @SmilingPanda19, or @Invisible have approved it. So, your GM’s for this games! Panda will get out a more detailed intro for each of them sometime soon, but for now, your GM's are played by @Edema Rue, @SmilingPanda19, @The Wandering Wizard, @InvisibIe, and @Invisible. One last thing: In the past, the games have moved incredibly quickly for an RP, so a couple things to be aware of: if more than 20 pages pass without you posting, or if you stop responding to mentions, (there's no exact numbers, we have to play it by ear as things progress), we may have to kill off your character. If something comes up and you have to drop out, that's just fine, but we ask that you let us know. As GM's, we try to keep track of everything, but sometimes that can be very hectic. So, if you need to talk to a specific player or GM, please quote or mention them so that your posts don't get lost in the flood! If you die early on but would still like to participate, PM the GM's! As long as you're communicating with us, we're happy to work with you and figure things out. As always, thanks so much for playing, and we look forward to watching your characters die in various ways! Happy hunger games, and may the odds be never in your favor.

Favored weapons (if any): Sword, Kunai Backstory: Spoiler Essentially a long time ago, in a very far away place, she had to leave behind one of her friends, Azalea (note: not the intern), and chose to remain instead. since then, she roams to world, looking for a sense of belonging. Other info: She believes in the Truespirits (which are very complicated) Art: is not an innovation, but rather an expression. Will the games be set in libraria or freelands? That will drastically influence stuff Edited January 22 by Aeoryi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenclawjedi42 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 (edited) Name: Bob Age (between 8 and 18): 16 Gender: Male Talent: He sometimes thinks that he is an animal of some sort, which grants him some capabilities of said animal (approved) Favored weapons (if any): Guns. He is a gun nerd. Backstory: His father was a man from the capital, who was unhappily married to a woman in the capital. On a business trip to district 8, though, he had an affair with a woman from there. Bob was the product of that affair. His father used to send him and his mother money to support them, but the father was killed in the rebellion. Other info: He’s another of the peaceful Bobs, despite his obsession with guns he hates firing them. He’s also in love with Tough Bob, and will be very sad to leave his boyfriend behind. Art: None yet, I may edit this if I make any. Edited January 22 by Ravenclawjedi42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part Of The Narrative she/her Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 (edited) Name: Elsa Age (between 8 and 18) : 16 Gender: Female Talent: Killing conversations- ie; saying things nobody wants to hear. She's really smart. which annoys people even more. Favored weapons (if any): Knife Backstory: Her family is one in a long line of smedrys, she has both parents and one older brother. She lives in District 5, helping support her family however she can. Other info: She is kind of an odd one out, since all her family's talents are "better" than hers. She's not quite all there (can hear voices no one else can) but really quite sane otherwise.

Yeah, it’ll be more mental (thinking like the animal) than physical, but there will be some of both. 4 minutes ago, Edema Rue said: The district RP's will continue for the next 3 weeks, we might temporarily lock them during the actual games, but that's still to be decided! I personally would prefer if they weren’t locked, so if I wanted I could do stuff with the other Bobs, and have them interact with other unused characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it would be a lot to manage for the gms, but it would be nice for me since I am probably not going to be in this games for it to continue. Have fun GMs!

(his real talent is interdimential travel) Just a tip especially for those who haven't read Alcatraz, smedry talents are meant to be some sort of everyday thing, like always forgetting where your keys are, or never hitting a target with a bow, or being really bad at math, but they benefit the user. Again, it's a bit hard to explain, but I'll just list some examples from the books: There's a character who always shows up late to everything, which means he nearly always survived things like traps, and for instance, if he gets shot, he'll arrive late to the bullet and whatnot. There's a character who has the talent of tripping at bad times, and he knows that if he trips, there's probably something important happening nearby. Those are just some examples, but that's the kind of thing that smedry talents are meant to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm. Maybe the GMs could have some suggestions for you, but historically tributes visiting the GM HQ before or after their death has not gone well. Saffron would be a great example (although I discourage you from pursuing similar things) or Ryn would too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
