Rules

Name: Candra Whey

Age (12-18): 14

District ( look @ District Information): 11, Agriculture

Appearance (as detailed as possible, pics are welcome): Short with dark skin. Long
straight black hair down to the small of her back. Deep Brown eyes, the color of chocolate, a new luxury she has discovered in the Capitol. Sharp, angled features that always make her appear angry and harsh. thin nose, thin lips. Skinny and bony, not heavy at all. graceful in movement, appearance, and stance

Personality( strengths, weaknesses, etc...) A feisty fire cracker ready to be set off. Like her appearance describes, she is harsh and fierce. Angry at the world for allowing this to happen, she vowed to win this thing. She can be sarcastic at times and is very moody. Can be aggressive, revengeful, ungrateful, and chooses to ignore you, if you do something she doesn't like, such as give her advice. Is only nice to her family

History: Lived in District 11, working along side everyone else to sow the seeds, care for the plants, and harvest the produce, day after day. Back home is also her parents and younger brother, Tonio.

Do you think you will win( why/why not?): I have promised myself I will, but in all reality, I will die very quickly. There are tributes out there that are three times my size and have trained all their lives for these moments of glory. I'm just hoping to myself that i'll die quickly, and that it won't be too painful.

Other?: I can run fast for quite a long time, but am incompetent with weapons. I might make it for a little while if I could get my hands on an easy weapon to use. I hate being wet.

Saving a spot as male tribute from district 1, will post profile here asap


Name: Jade Silverman
Age: 18
District: 1

Appearance: 6'2, athletic build. Jade has been training his whole life, mostly running, climbing and archery, and as a result he is very fit. He has eyes the color of jade (hence the name), black hair, fair skin. Powerful jaw and straight nose, making him look imperial. He always carries his chin high and moves graciously, no matter what.

Personality: Jade is proud, but that does not make him stupid. He knows there's a big chance that he won't make it out from the arena, and he's not willing to take any unnecessary risks. He's smart, and very calculating.

He prefers not to get into fights if he can avoid it, and during his training he chose to focus on wilderness survival, climbing, running and handling long range weapons, unlike most of the other kids from his district. He simply wanted to focus more on the survival part of the game, than the killing part.

He is ridiculously calm and patient. He can sit still for hours if he needs to, and even if people are trying their best to make him angry, he won't be. He'll defend himself, if needed, but he won't lose his cool. It's not that he is afraid to hurt and kill people, but he doesn't see the point of doing it when he doesn't need to. Killing someone who is not a threat is just a waste of energy. Oh, did I mention that Jade is also kind of lazy? He usually conserves as much energy as he can.

He isn't the most talkative guy. He'll talk if he's spoken to, but don't expect him to keep the conversation alive. Jade often seems shy, even if that is not the case, he's just thinks much more than he talks.

History: Jade's father won the Hunger Games when he was 16, and thanks to that Jade got to grow up in the Victors' Village. Both his parents creates and sells jewelries, and their family is one of the richest in District 1. Jade has never wanted for anything in his whole life, but the rigorous training made sure that he never became spoiled.

He started his training at the academy together with the other kids when he was five, and soon excelled at almost every subject. To every ones great surprise he chose (which I mentioned before) to focus on wilderness survival, climbing, running and handling long range weapons.

As usual all the older kids volunteered when it was time for the reaping, including Jade. He wasn't sure if he really wanted to go, but figured that he wouldn't want to waste all that training. He managed to win against the other volunteers, and took his place as a tribute. Later in the train he broke down when no one was watching, and cried for at least fifteen minutes. He still doesn't understand why, 'cause he wasn't particularly scared, he didn't miss his parents, and he doesn't have that much against killing the others. After all, he has no other choice.

Do you think you will win?: He has a good chance of winning since he has trained his whole life for this, but he is not as cocky as the careerists usually are, so yes, he can win.

Name: Tanner Needreve

Age: 18

District: 4

Appearance: Tanner is tall, just around 6', maybe a little under. He has short cut dark colored hair and piercing brown eyes, with muscular cheek bones and jaw. Covering most of his face, is some stubble, which he is too lazy to shave. Tanner weighs in somewhere around 160 pounds. He has a muscular frame from working out, and he has great upper body strength to help him swim and work and what not.


Personality: Tanner is a laid back guy, which is strange because he is a career. His attitude is get it done when he feels like it. He may be lazy, but when he sets his mind on a goal, he will stop at nothing until it is done. He will do what it takes to win the games, even if it comes down to making a backstabbing move in the end. He acts trusting, but will gladly sacrifice you if it saves him.

Strengths: Can make fishing gear out of basically anything if he has the right tools. Is also a weapons expert when it comes to blunt weapons, I.E axes, maces, rocks (although he's a career, he won't use rocks lol)

Weaknesses: Not very good at hand to hand combat, but the chances of him traveling without a weapon is not good.

History: Tanner was raised in a family where he was the only child. His parents allowed him to have whatever he wanted. He first heard about the games when he was 5. He was instantly interested in fame and fortune to the winner. So instead of getting luxury items from his parents, he wanted to be in the games. His parents agreed without any fighting. They paid for him to have secret fighting lessons with the best trainer in the entire district. He instantly took to it, and became very skilled and very large very quickly. He became so obsessed with training, he has few friends, and not much to come back to if he wins, but the promise of fame and fortune. He is a career.

Do you think you will win: He thinks he has a good shot, as he has been training, but he does not know for sure if he will win.

Other?: Has trained how to fight with both hands, so if one gets injured he isn't finished.

*Dropped*

Reserving a spot for district 9 female tribute.

Here's my profile:

Name: Cassie Grace Thompson
Age (12-18): 15
District ( look @ District Information: District 9, grain
Appearance (as detailed as possible, pics are welcome): Cassie has short, choppy black hair. She has tanned skin and strong, lean muscles from working in the fields. She is tall, around 5'7" or 5'8". She has bright, intelligent blue eyes and angular features. She is unnaturally thin, having a high metabolism and not having much to eat.
Personality( strengths, weaknesses, etc...) Cassie is kind and sweet in nature, but she has become hardened by circumstance, although she still doubts she can bring herself to kill someone. She is resourceful and highly intelligent, and is a quick learner. However, she is too trusting. She is also not familiar with many plants and does not know anything about survival outdoors.
History: Cassie is in a family of six, her, her sister Macy, her two brothers Will and Liam, and her parents. Cassie is the second oldest of the family, Will over eighteen. When Will was thirteen she continued his tradition of trying to help their family by putting her name in more times. Her parents protested, but she insisted. They would have starved otherwise. She has always looked after her siblings and knows she will not be able to help them anymore.
Do you think you will win( why/why not?): No. She isn't very good at anything having to do with survival- at least not much.
Other?: Her preferred weapon is a sword or a sythe, something she has had experience using in the fields. She is also semi-ok at hand-to-hand combat from fighting with her older brother and younger sister. As far as alliances, she will join one if someone asks, but she won't ask. She knows that alliances don't last from previous games and she doesn't want to have to kill he friends.

Name: Emilie Cray

Age: 18

District: 2

Appearance: Emilie is tall, thin, and muscular. She has wide green eyes, freckles and long and wavy dark brown hair that she keeps up in a high ponytail when working out or training. Her arms are tattooed with different colored birds. Despite this, she still has a feminine side and can look gorgeous in a dress.


Personality: Emilie is mostly a cold and emotionless person. She is not a very sympathetic person-- pleading for your life would do you no good. She also trusts few. Beyond all of this, though, is a scared girl who wants the acceptance of her parents more than anything. She loves her family, friends, and boyfriend fiercely, and it is for them that she is driven to win.

History: Emilie was the child of not one, but two previous victors of the Hunger Games. They were both narcissistic people who want their legacy to live on in their two children - Emilie and her younger brother, Demetrius. Because of this, Emilie started training for the games almost right after she learned to walk. She lived in a strict, militant household, with little love being shown from her parents- even verbal and physical abuse being thrown her way when she didn't do as well.

She frequently sought refuge with her two best friends, Kylie and Maeve, while she was at school. When she was seventeen, she started dating a boy named Titus, whom she would often train with. When she turned eighteen and volunteered for the games two months later, she hoped with all of her heart that she would be able to come home, both to return to her friends and to make her parents proud.

Do you think you will win: Yes. She has trained for the games all of her life and is one of the oldest and strongest tributes.

Other? From an early age she also showed and aptitude for hand-to-hand combat. With the aid of brass knuckles, she could easily beat someone to a pulp. She is also skilled at using maces.

Name: Andrew Lare

Gender: Male

Age: 16

District: 11

Appearance:



Personality: (include strengths and weaknesses) Andrew is a very likable and easy to get along with, he's a ladies man, and he never passes up the opportunity to make a joke. He's very light hearted and is always out to make friends (even if there another tribute - which would be his weakness). He's skilled in alot of different things. Like, if he wants to kill you he knows were it hurts, and where he has to hit you to bring you down easy and mercifully. His methods are quick and decisive, but he won't kill anyone who isn't already trying to kill him.

History: His father is one of the working managers of district eleven, and his mother died when he was a child. So he's lived under the cold hand of his father, he wasn't abusive. But he was cold. He taught him the basics of survival, and how to think in touch situations. So he's quick. And his personality comes directly from him trying the least like his father as possible.

Do you think you will win (why/why not?): I think that Andrew could win, I mean - he's talking the whole thing as a joke anyway - but if some ways in he decides that it's not a joke anymore - he's very determined and he'll do anything to win. So he has the potential - I wouldn't put it past him.

Other: (preferred weapons, alliances, up for love, etc...) - His preferred weapons are the knife (any type will do) and the sword, specifically a khopesh (which is a curved sword; a picture here


He's up for allies defnitely - (anyone who is interested in that can tell me and we'll work it out)



I hope you'll accept my profile

district 4 girl
posting now

Name: Marina Podd

Age (12-18): 14

District ( look @ District Information: 4

Appearance (as detailed as possible, pics are welcome):
She's older than she is in the picture. Tan skin, dark brown hair and eyes. She's muscular but very thin. She's only 5'3

Personality( strengths, weaknesses, etc...) She's good at not getting attached to people or caring about anyone else. She can make a fishing pole and feed herself, as well as swim. She's good at being quiet and running fast. Her weaknesses are her unwillingness to make friends, no strength, and average intelligence.

History: She's an orphan and was raised in the community home in district four. She never starved, but she was never full. She never had any real friends. Her parents died when she was seven while they were out fishing during a big storm. She has no siblings and no one she cares about. While, there is that koi fish in the pond by the orphanage that seems to like her. If she wins, she's gonna take that fish out of it's dirty pond and give it a swimming pool sized aquarium.

Do you think you will win( why/why not?): No, she's kind of weak and doesn't believe she will win because she's not the strongest or smartest.

Other?: She has a secret. (O.o)

Mentor
Name: Heather Landon

Age (19- 49 ): 25

District: 4, fishing

Appearance (as detailed as possible, pics are welcome): tall and slender. Delicate features, but built to win the games. Tough and strong, muscled, and graceful. Long thin fingers, perfectly shaped nails. Long straight blonde hair with brown streaks. Small round face with slanting eyebrows, pale skin, short rounded nose, and thin pale lips.

Personality( strengths, weaknesses, etc...) She’s a quirky girl with a lot of nerve. She can be vicious and spiteful if you make her angry. She gives herself pep talks a lot, but is really sweet. She actually cares about her tributes, and she tries to help them win. She is outgoing and loves meeting new people. Strange habits include chewing on her hair, drawing smiley faces on her hands, and singing at random. Weaknesses: she’s sensitive and respects every human life. Strengths: She’s a quick thinker and can stay calm in an emergency. She’s excellent at hiding her emotions.

History (which Hunger Game did you win? have you coached anyone into winning?): I won the 27th Hunger Games when i was 15. I have coached one young man into winning. I was just so happy that year that i didn't have to face two projections of dead people that I loved dearly. Before the games I lived by the sea, my favorite place. Now I live in the Victor's Village, and have several neighbors.

Do you think your tribute will win (why/why not?): Tanner is not the best with hand-to hand combat, but he is a career, and that gives him an advantage over the rest of the tributes. Sponsors will flock to him, giving him a good chance to survive. Marina has a slightly smaller chance at winning, but she is still a career.

Other?: I hate the games. I will never be released from the torturous nightmares of dead tributes that come with being a victor. I am always alert and responsive for my tributes. I will stay awake for days at a time during the games, taking caffeine shots so I can take care of my kids.

Reserving this spot until able to get a proper internet connection!

My character will be from the Textile quarters of Distract 8.

Name: Angus Weavers

Age (12-18): 17

District ( look @ District Information): 5, power

Appearance (as detailed as possible, pics are welcome): A tall (6.1), muscled boy. Light skin, flaxen hair. tattoo of a golden spiral on his left shoulder blade. Deep, sad, blue eyes that almost make you not want to kill him (almost, but not quite) when he pleads. thin nose and eyebrows.

Personality( strengths, weaknesses, etc...) Happy-go lucky all the way. Not a care in the world. Lives life to the fullest, and takes what life gives him. He rolls with the punches. Loves people and friends and hopes to make an ally. Over-excited easily. He believes that all humans are equal, and that no man has the right to end another life. A good laugh can make even the most dire situation into a big joke for him.

History: A simple life, i guess, nothing exciting. Was an only child. He only had his name in the reaping's once. His dad brought him his district symbol to him during the visiting time. A silver pin with a lightning bolt through it. Left his lover back home. She believes that he will come home.

Do you think you will win( why/why not?): He's strong, but knows absolutely nothing about survival. He hopes to make an ally with someone who at least has a little knowledge about plants and using weapons. Otherwise he'll be hard-pressed to survive for very long.

Other?: Deals with asthma.
