You watch the Capitolist reach for the bowl with hundreds of paper slips in it, knowing that there is some in their with name in it. With your heart in your mouth, you look on as the Capitolist selects a slip, looks at it, and then call out your name. The world blurs before you as the truth sets in. You are tribute to the Hunger Games.
Rules
This role-play is strictly PG-13, so don't be too descriptive when you get to the bloody parts. And yes, romance is allowed.
You should have either read at least one of the books, or watched the movie. If you forgot something though, I'll remind you. And if you didn't read the books or watch the movie, read the part titled "What Happens In The Hunger Games".
Instead of role-playing a tribute, I'm going to "coach" the game. If people are arguing over who's dead after a fight, for example, I'll get to decide who died. In another thing, if your character managed to snatch a bag from in or around the Cornucopia, I decide its contents. I also decide what kind of arena you'll be fighting in, and all the different traps. And, I role-play the formal people all the tributes will meet in the Capitol. If you want, you can help coach with me too, in case I get inactive.
No god-modding or power-playing!!!
Only mild swearing (remember, PG-13).
If someone has already created a specific tribute(e.g. District 4 Female), then you can't create the same tribute (unless you want to wait until the next Games).
You can create up to 4 tributes.
Once one Games is done, we continue on to the next.
If I missed any important rules, let me know!
Follow these rules.

What Happens In The Hunger Games
Each year, on the day of the Reaping, everyone ages 12-18 is gathered within their districts for the Reaping. In the Reaping, a representative from the Capitol comes and randomly chooses one girl and one boy as tribute for the Hunger Games. This is done by selecting one slip of paper with a name on it from each of the two Reaping bowls. All the 12-18 year-olds must have at least one slip of paper with their name on it in their respective gender's bowl. If one of them adds another slip, their family gets a meager supply of grain and oil, or otherwise called tesserae. The tesserae slips are consecutive, so if someone adds one the last year, and one this year, that person would have a total of three slips of paper, including the regular slip.
Before boarding the train for the Capitol, tributes are allowed time to say good-bye to friends and family. On the train, the tributes will meet their mentors (people of their district that won previous Games, and for the first few games, a person from the Capitol who volunteered to mentor), who will teach them how to win sponsors.
Once in the Capitol, all tributes are taken and prepped up by personal dressing teams and stylists for the Opening Ceremony. Tributes will don costumes representing their district and its special job (more about that later) and parade around a Capitol stadium in chariots.
Once the Opening Ceremony is over, tributes are shown to their special dormitories, where they will spend the eating and sleeping hours for the next few days.
The very next day, tributes are taken to the Training Room, where tributes can learn and practice skills that will keep them alive in the Games (e.g plant identification). After three days, the tributes are assessed by the Gamemakers (people who run the Games) on whatever the tributes wishes to show the Gamemakers (like how accurate your archery is). Everything that happens between the Gamemakers and a tribute are kept secret, besides the score of course (on a scale of 1 to 12, 1 being the worst, and 12 the best)!
After that, the tributes are prepped up once again for interviewing with a star Capitol reporter (or something like that).
And then, during the next day, all tributes are taken to their separate Launch Rooms, from which they will enter the arena via metal plate inside a tube.
Tributes will enter standing in a circle on their metal plates, surrounding a giant, horn-like thing (a.k.a. Cornucopia) filled with weapons, food, bags, medicine, and water bottles. Lesser valued things are scattered around the Cornucopia. Tributes stand on their plates for sixty seconds before stepping off, unless they want to get blown up. After the sixty seconds are up, the tributes are allowed to do whatever they want until they're either dead or everyone else is dead. While the tributes are still alive, sponsors can send vital gifts to them in silver parachutes.
Here is all the districts and their special jobs:
District 1: Luxury Items. One of the wealthier districts, Careers are often trained here. People often have names that reflect their luxury items; like Glimmer, Shine, and Beam.
District 2: Masonry. A wealthy district, and best treated by the Capitol because it sided with it in the rebellion before the Games began. Peacekeepers (Capitol policemen) and Careers (the ones in this district tend to be strong and bulky) are trained here.
District 3: Technology. Somewhat wealthy, Careers occasionally pop up. These people tend to portray a great intellect.
District 4: Fishing. Another wealthy district that trains Careers on a common basis.
District 5: Electrical Power.
District 6: Transportation (trains, hovercraft, air cars etc.).
District 7: Textiles.
District 8: Lumber. Tend to be good with axes.
District 9: Grain.
District 10: Livestock.
District 11: Agriculture (fruit and cotton). One of the poorest districts, it has the most security, and the harshest rules, where stealing even the slightest thing can result in a death penalty.
District 12: Mining. The poorest district. Surrounded by an electric fence that has many holes and is on for only a couple hours a day. The Peacekeepers here tend to be easygoing, and much law-breaking is ignored or even unknown.
