This RP is based off of several elements of "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins.

 

The future is not what it seems. The United States has been separated into "districts". There are 13 districts, each of them stricken with extreme poverty. Living off of the land is strictly prohibited, so many starve. In order to allow some people to live, the Capitol (the government) has created "The Hunger Games". The winner of these games will receive extravagant amounts of money, a new house, and plenty of food. Two "Tributes" from each district are chosen to participate in these games. The games may seem like they are fun, but they are anything but. Winning the game will make some go through extreme pain and tons of mental stress. Why is this? To win the Hunger Games, you must kill every other tribute in a specialized arena the government has created, including the Tribute from your district. The arena face can vary from a jungle to a desert. The age range for the Tributes vary from 12-18, any gender. Many people find these games cruel, but some families are so desperate, they support them. The Capitol enjoys these games for entertainment, but they believe that the Hunger Games are for a greater good.

Name: Jacob Lefevre

Age: 16

Gender: Male

District: 8

 

Appearance (you get new clothes in the Arena): Jacob has slightly tanned skin, dark brown hair that hangs over his head, a mustache, and a few beard hairs. He wears a white T-Shirt, torn black Docker shorts, and a pair of old Reeboks. Mostly, his facial features are hidden by his hair, but when he pulls his hair back, you can see his depressed look.

 

H.G. weapon: He has an assortment of throwing daggers, which have been dipped in one of the most deadliest toxins in the world. He also has a blowdart gun, two battle daggers, and a limited supply of mines.

 

Short bio: Jacob and his family moved from Canada to the U.S. 10 years before the creation of the Hunger Games. They had lived a pretty good life in California before it got turned into District 8. After this, their lives made a turn for the worst. They lost most of their money, and they couldn't afford a lot of food. 3 years ago, when Jacob's brother Jackson was picked as a Tribute, they had mixed emotions of happiness and depression. They prayed everyday while he was in the arena, but unfortunately, he was killed when there were only 3 people left. This left Jacob in a state of depression and anger. He dropped out of the Capitol created school system, and began to just walk around his district, with nothing to do.

Another day has gone by. Another day without a decent meal. All Jacob had today was a bowl of dry oatmeal. As the Twilight begins to fall, he begins to head back home. He had been walking around District 8 all day today. He witnessed a few whippings in the Capitol plaza around 3 p.m. The man that was whipped had been caught hunting in the woods. As Jacob recollects on his day during his walk home, he notices Capitol vehicles fly by him. What are they doing here? Unless...it's time. Jacob starts to run the opposite way from his house. The cold wind blows against his face and hair as he sprints towards the Capitol square. When he gets there, he notices the whole District population standing in the square. There was a large stage, and Capitol officials were standing on it, looking down at the people. A man in a white suit was standing at a microphone. "Today is the biggest day of the year. The day we pick the Tributes for the Hunger Games."

Brian came in.He threw 3 knives into the 3 white-suited men.He then tossed a knife to Sophie."Go nuts.",Brian said.Brian shut the door behind him and watched as Sophie got that crazy look in her eye.The one she wanted all her life.Brian watched for what Sophie would do,but he looked around to see if any guards were coming.Brian gave the OK signal to Sophie.

Anthony ate a apple and then threw the apple in the trash. (Damn, when is the tournament going to start, I want to finish off the tournament soon...) thought Anthony glaring outside. Anthony walked outside and saw some guards glaring at Anthony. "What do you want guards?" asked Anthony. "YHARRRRR!!!!!!!!!" shouted the guards. (Oh crap, for some reason, they're mad at me. I better skedaddle) thought Anthony. Anthony drew out his sword. (Or fight!) thought Anthony smirking. Suddenly the guards took out guns "YHARRR!!!!!!" (Oh shi- I guess I better hide) Anthony thought. Anthony ran really fast to loose track of the guards. (I think I lost them) thought Anthony, panting for breath.

(Sophi-A. There's an 'a' at the end, lol) She dropped the knife, and picked up her staff instead. She explained. "I fight better using this." She held it at arm's length, and it was about as tall as her, so she had to run with it tilted slightly. She knocked it into one of the gaurd's stomachs. Sophia bent down next to where Stacy lay, unconcious. She rifled through the oversized tote she'd shoved her hair decorations it. "Ah-ha!" She revealed a ponytail holder. "The perfect fix to the most annoying thing in the world." She swiped her hair into a ponytail, and then grinned at Brian. "Let's go!"

(Nickname >.>)Brian nodded and ran out the door."We gotta hide!",Brian exclaimed.Brian ran up the stairs to his room.He was able to pick the lock and get to his room.He looked under his bed - his Titanium bat was still there.He sighed in relief and ate the data stick."This'll be fun.",Brian sarcastically said.Brian then went to bed,but looked at Sophia."Dont worry - i can cough it back up",Brian explained."Good night,Sophia",Brian said,then went to bed.

 

(Lets save this for tomorrow lol )

Anthony catched his breath in a alley way. (I think its safe to go back to the room...) thought Anthony. Anthony walked back out of the alley way and suddenly, he saw the guards once again. "YHARRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted the guards. (Oh crap! Why the hell are these guards attacking me again???) thought Anthony. Anthony pulled out his sword. (Oh well. This is gonna be good training for the tournament) thought Anthony. There were about 5 guards that were all standing in a straight line and Anthony couldn't help but smirk. (Idiots, I'll be able to defeat them easily) thought Anthony. Anthony stabbed the first guard with his sword and kicked the 2nd guard which caused a dominno effect which caused the rest of the guards to fall over. Anthony jumped over the guards and stabbed all the guards with his sword, and then Anthony threw them all in a stacked pile at the corner of the alley, and then Anthony went back to his room. (That was rather simple) thought Anthony.

(Should we stop the rp until sora gets on - :? - cause he asked not to skip to as far as to morning))

(ehh perhaps because for this RP, it's pretty much the end of the day and SoraKing will probably reveal more of a plot tommorow )

(Yeah - lets just wait until he gets on - )

 

(Where is he???? )

( O_O okay then.... )

 

A soft voice wakes Jacob up from his deep slumber. "Jacob...wake up. Today is the day." Jacob's eyes fly open and search the room for the person who woke him. Terri was standing at the door, with a worried expression on her face. "Are you okay?", she asks. Jacob frowns and says, "I don't need your pity. You aren't the one going in there." Terri turned her head sheepishly. Elizabeth was already downstairs. Jacob walks to his closet and opens it. A specialized Games battle suit was in there. He puts it on, and walks downstairs to the cafeteria. Jacob is too nervous to eat, so he only gets two things from the buffet line. Bread and grape juice (if you catch the symbolism I'll give you a cookie). He walks to a table with his breakfast items and just sits. I'm going to die... The lump in his throat from yesterday reappears, more stubborn than ever. He couldn't even chew his bread. He drinks his grape juice, and breaks a piece of the bread off and eats it painfully. One hour left...

(I get it! Do I get a cookie now?) Sophia sat up and yawned. For a moment, she expected to see Dustin curled up next to her, and the dusty brown walls of their home. The pristine white Capitol ones came almost as a shock. She jumped, and then remembered where she was. She sighed sadly. This was the morning of the Games. The morning she as slated to die. She reached under her bed and grabbed her staff. Sophia glanced for what may be a final time out at the Capitol city. If it weren't for the awful, sick people here, it'd almost be beautiful.

(Bah, we can't really start until Blazer gets on)

(Back - Welcome back,sora - lets begin the rp now? )Brian woke up with a major headache.He looked under his bed,and saw his Bat was still there.He sighed and looked up at the ceiling.He was remembering last night.The lab,the guards,Sophia's ego,and was considering what to do next.He wondered who he had to fight today - he would have to kill someone - but he did it easy last night,so it wouldnt of been so bad today(I should get a weapon change....maybe to a sword...).Brian got out of his bead and got dressed.After he got dressed,he looked in his mirror and sighed."Will i be able to live with myself..?",asked Brian.

(Sure will, and thanks)

 

Jacob didn't know where to go after breakfast. He roamed around the building for a good half hour before Terri catches him and tells him it's time to go. The lump in his throat grows as he makes the long painful walk towards the limo. Liz...As he steps in, he sees Elizabeth in her Games outfit, and he sits down. Terri sits up front with the driver. The engine starts, and the 30 minute ride to the 10 mile-wide arena starts. Jacob sits and stares out of the window, his usual action. It was the only thing he could do to hold down his nervousness. Of course he could just run away, that probably would be the easiest thing. But if he did run away, his parents would be murdered in cold blood, as would he. So he had to do this. He had to endure the Hunger Games. The limo finally makes it to the huge arena. Jacob opens the door and steps out, Liz right behind. Only Capitol officials and Tributes could go into the Arena, because the Hunger Games were televised throughout the whole district. Terri, Jacob, and Liz walk to the entrance. Fear begins to overtake Jacob. He starts to sweat, his pupils widen. He wasn't ready for this.

Brian walked into the Armor Room and got his games outfit on.It was thin leather armor hat had the same patern and characteristics of his normal clothes,except that it was mostly leather.After Brian got suited up,he went into the Weapon room."Can i get another weapon and trade it for the bat?",Brian asked.The master said no.Brian sighed and went off.After he ate and brushed his teeth,he got into his limo.There, he waited there for sophie,so they could get to the games.

(I think Ventus signed off , we'll have to wait a lil)

(Of course - we HAD to have a flaw - >.<)

 

(Yay shes on)

(Lol, shes doing a 1x1, no wonder she hasn't posted. I think we can move a little ahead, just not into the Games yet.)

 

The cool air from the Arena lobby's A/C system blasts Jacob as soon as he steps in. I wish we will A/C during the Games. Terri escorts him and Liz into a room with all of their weapons. "Use them well", Terri says wisely. Jacob straps on his belt that holds all of his melee weapons, and he watches Liz polish her bow. "Are..you ready?", he asks Liz nervously. She doesn't look up, but she says, "Yeah." Jacob sits down on the floor and rubs his face. "We will have to work together. I think we should stick with each other throughout the game." Elizabeth just makes a noise in her throat. Terri cuts in and says, "The Arena this year will be a 100 mile forest filled with swamps, quicksand, wild animals, etc. Be ready." Jacob sighs. I can't do this, I just can't. I want to go home. I wonder how Jackson felt..

Brian was brought into the weapons room,where he would be able to pick his weapons."I thought i had to stick with mine?",Brian asked."You get 1 weapon change per game.",the weapon master explained.Since that was the case,Brian picked a sword from the rack.He got out a wet cloth and started to polish it.Brian then dipped the blade into a pot of oil.The weapon master questioned Brian's motives,but it was his funeral.Brian then took the blade and put it on a fire.The oil triggered,and the entire blade catched on fire.Brian laughed at his genius,and put the fire out,then dipped it in another coat of oil.Brian asked what arena he would be in - he was going to be in a enormous forest.Brian laughed and thought of it to be a good enviroment.After brian tested his experiment with his flaming weapon,he put on his knife belt,which was upgraded with 15 belts.Brian laughed,knowing he would survive.

(The Ruler of the World Has Returned. )

(You gonna post or what?)

Brian then went to the west entrance,where the D1's were supposed to start.Brian was sweating.He didnt know what to do.He looked around(Where the hell is sophia?).After pondering over the situation,Brian sighed.He knew he might not last long in the forest.Waiting for Sophia,brian felt like he was literally dead already.

(Blazer, just to let you know, you can only keep the weapons you've chosen because the game is nonstop until everybody but one person is killed. You might as well keep every weapon you have.)

 

Jacob and Liz walk out of the room, and they are taken into another one. Most of the Tributes were in this room, some were on their way. Jacob sizes up his opponents. One girl from District 2 had a long sword, a boy from District 10 had some kind of grenades. This was going to be big. Jacob starts to stretch his body, because he knew as soon as they entered the arena, he was going run. Run his fastest away from everybody else. He sits on the ground and does some hamstring stretches while he waits for everybody else to come in the room so the Games could start.

Sophia ran up behind Brian. "Sorry I'm late." She glanced over her shoulder. "Stacy was SLIGHTLY angry about us knocking her out last night. Also, turns out I stole HER ponytail holder, and she's freaking out." She rolled her eyes. These Capitol people. Looking out at the arena she would probably die in, her face hardened. "Alright," She took a deep breath. "As my daddy used to say... let's get this show on the road!"

(Okay)Brian put his sword away and stuck with the bat.He felt comfortable with the bat,since he played alot of Baseball back in District 1.After changing the weapon,Brian went back to the entrance.After doing 20 push-ups then 30 jumping jacks,brian drank half an ice cold water and was ready and pumped up.He looked to the Northeast district.He saw a District 9 man with some kinda of Sword,and loked at a District 5 person,who had some kind of axe.Brian gulped,knowing he wouldnt last long.He looked down at Sophia."We should be fine - after all,its the jungle - we'll be fine - its not like were all going in the same entrance.I just wonder how long this round is going to be."

Sophia squinted at the arena. In the center was glittering golden Cornucopia. Piled high in its mouth were supplies you'd need to survive the arena. It looked about a half-mile away. She bit her lip seeing the arena. They were going to be released in an open, fairytale like meadow. Everything in every other direction was forest. She couldn't survive in the woods! She winced when she thought of her family having to watch her die of starvation. Sophia squeezed the locket. If she was going to get killed in this arena, she was at least going to do it with some dignity.

A Gamemaker steps into the room and says, "We are ready to begin! Step on the portal located in the middle of the room." Jacob and Liz step on the portal, and everything flashes white. Jacob lands on a floor made of soft moss and dirt, broken leaves and twigs, and mud. A table was straight ahead, covered with backpacks and weapons. Jacob saw what he wanted to take, but he couldn't run until the horn was blown. Not all of the Tributes had teleported yet, so this gave him the advantage of looking at what he wanted before he had to rush and avoid getting killed while obtaining the pack. He puts both of his hands on his belt, and positions his body into a getting-ready-to-sprint position. He was ready.
