District:I'm going to do something I don't see often and say 12
Appearance/Picture:Spoiler
Okay, just picture that... umm... picture, but with shoulder length hair and almost constantly dirty and not very well kept. She is a very small girl and looks malnourished and a unhealthy. Her hair is naturally a dark red, but it usually looks black or brown due to the dirt.
History: Lyn was orphaned at a very young age and found herself living on the streets with other street kids. She took to a life of petty theft in order to live and became pretty good at it even though many times the people she stole from let her get away with it. She has developed a special relationship with her 'gang' members and will do anything if it means a better life for them.
Skills: Very quick and practically invisible when she wants to be from her life as a thief. She is able to climb almost any surface if she needs to. Her skills lie with evasive manuevers.
Weaknesses: Too weak to be any good at any sort of combat. Not terribly smart and can fall for traps easily. Unable to trust anyone in the games which means that she will probably end up being alone for a good part of them.
Personality: She is not a trusting individual and is quiet by nature. The only people she trusts completely are her gang of thieves back at 12. She is not above using dirty tactics in order to survive. She is determined to win the games in order to give a new life to her friends whome she considers family.
Up For Alliances?: Sure, but not until the games really get under way. If she survives that long.
Your Symbol: Her entire gang got together and used almost all of their money to buy her a small necklace that she refuses to take off. It has a small heart pedant on it.
How much are you willing to post: 1 time a day for both characters.
Other: I made Lyn so I can have someone to have some fun with and try some new things. Also, I'm sorry if there is any inconsistancies with the books, I've tried my best but sometimes I can miss some fine details.
5"4, very thin/malnourished. Dark circles from not enough sleep, but clear skin. Dirty blond hair and green-gray eyes. Small nose, hands, and feet. I may post a picture later if I can find one.
History:
Only child of a single mother, she has struggled to retain a normal life. Her mother is a middle-ranking doctor in the hospital; her long hours make for loneliness on Claire's part. In order to bring in more money (and thus, food) she's taken a job as an orderly in one of the smaller wards, caring for low-ranking capitol dwellers. Never worried about the Games; she always assumed that someone else would volunteer if she ever got picked. But when the time came, the audience was silent. This still bothers her and she doesn't know why it happened.
Skills:
Understands anatomy and the human body's limitations very well. Also has knowledge of basic poisons and medicines, and a basic idea of medicinal plants. Spent some time 'training' with other careers, but was never very good--she has moderate skills with a knife, but has never been physically enduring or strong. Isn't afraid to kill someone in cold blood.
Weaknesses:
Knows very little about surviving outside--she's spent most of her time in a sterile environment--and is slightly cowardly.
Personality:
Very intelligent in the analytical/logical sense, but tends towards suspicion. She tends to weigh decisions in terms of how beneficial they would be to her, rather than with any sense of compassion, and so appears very uncaring and cold. She's used to forcing herself to be objective, and is always, always weighing decisions and options. Because of this she may have problems acting quickly or under stress. Abhors arrogance in any form (be interesting to see what she'd do with Skins' character) but also feels superior to others. Never, ever, shows what she's thinking if she can help it. Paradoxically, she hates liars (they remind her of her father) and tries to be honest whenever possible.
Up For Alliances?: Yes, however she would do it only for her own gain and would have no problem dissolving them. At least, that's what she thinks.
Your Symbol: One small silver hoop earing with an amber bead.
How much are you willing to post: I will actually be gone over Christmas (from next Tuesday to just after Chrsitmas). Hope that's not a problem, because after that I will be available to post twice(ish) a day, same on weekends, and possibly more after New Years.
Other:
Can't think of anything else.....
Hope that's ok!

Appearance/Picture:Spoiler
History: She never really knew much about her parents, she was born and lef tout to die. She was taken in by a small family and put into one of her district's schools. Though the schools didn't teach heer much, she read and treasured any piece of information she could find. She went out of her way to find every little piece of text and study it until it could be studied no more, she often got in trouble for this. When she was told her name had been drawn, she was terrified beyond all comprehension. She saw the games being displayed and knew the horrors of people dying and famalies being torn apart.

Personality She is serious most of the time, but likes to smile. She hates stupid people or people that are overly loud. Naive, childish, and ignorant people annoy her. She holds herself up on a high pillar and needs someone to knock her down every once in a while. Other than her short temper towards others she's a good person. As long as you don't act stupid around her she'll be fine. It takes a lot to gain her trust, but once you win her over you have no worries. She's cautious around strangers but will eventually lighten up.
Up for alliancess: Yes, of course.

Above is the list of who will die first. This list will always be on the first page and I will notify you if I change it. If you have two characters and would like their spots spots swapped I will do that. If you see that you have a character that isn't on there tell me. The top of the list is those who will die first and as you go farther on they will last longer. Make note that unless a name is in bold you have to contact their YWSer in order to kill them. You also shouldn't forget about the characters who's spots haven't been taken. Those you can kill anytime, but make it realistic, I don't want any of you coming out of a battle completely unscathed.
Any questions?
A. S.
P.S. This time around we are just going to start at the begging of the games. I think we have more people than ever that have not read the books. So let the games begin.
I sucked in my breath as I counted down the seconds. I had gone over my plan a million times. Get a weapon, a knife, but besides that only get supplies. Run straight through get something here and there. I gazed out through kind of force field around me. One step over before they had been lifted and I would be gone. There was a huge white thing blocking most of my vision. It was like a big white ball in the sky. But, then everything was lifted. It took me a second to react, but then I was running. Everyone was ahead of me. They were getting all the good stuff. I ran my hardest. I was into the first level, things were going left and right. I swooped down and caught a pocket knife in one hand. I didn't stop and shoved it down in my pocket. A spear swooshed past me and I felt a pain in my lower back. Whoever it was I was glad they didn't practice too much. A steel pipe whizzed over my head and I ducked, though it banged me pretty good. By now I was completely on overdrive and I spun around giving a round house kick. Right in the dudes stomach. At the same time I wrenched the steal pipe away from him.
Of course I just had to trip. I fell flat on my face with a bang. Something made my gut clench. The next second I was scrambling up again my foot kicked something silver and I grabbed it without knowing if it would help me or not. A sword missed me by an inch and I was running. But I was disorientated. Where was the big ball in the sky. Just then someone gave me a push. I wondered who and I was after a few minutes of hard running crashing into water. I turned and ran along the edge knowing the steal pipe would be too much for me in my tired state.
Then suddenly I saw a building. It had been looming in front of me for some time, but I hadn't seen it because I was concentrating on my feet. I stopped for a second looking up. It was the tallest building I had ever seen. I walked slowly now searching for a place to get into the building because it looked like a good place to spend the night. Then suddenly I was up in the air flailing. I instantly dropped the silver thing I had picked up earlier which I now knew were nun-chucks. I gripped my steal pipe with both hands my knuckles white. I looked upwards. I grabbed the rope that held me up with one hand. Then another. Soon I was upright in a kind of half sitting half standing position. I looked at the sun, it was getting late and would be night soon. I tried to reach my pocket knife, but in getting myself upright I was so tangled I could barely move an inch. It take a while before I figured out a way to get free, but then a boy stepped out. He had black hair that to me looked greasy and sharp cheekbones. Those were the two features that popped out at me and my gut instantly clenched. This dude looked evil, but that could be because his only intent was to kill me. Right? He stooped down picking up the nun-chucks though his eyes stayed on me.
(TheGreatIthy controlling Victor Marks is the person by me. I have nun-chucks, pocket knife, and steel pipe. I am by the river that goes by the Hollywood Tower Hotel. I got there in a very round about way because I kept going in circles just to let everyone know why it took me long.)
History: She's been raised, as you can already see, in the lumber district. She knows how to make various tools, also. But her moother died when she was 10, and she never quite got over that loss. Her twin sister, Leila, wanted badly to replace her in the competition, but she said no. Her twin is a frail girl with lung cancer who will die very soon.
Skills: She can make various tools and keep a cool head.
Weaknesses: She doesn't know much about surviving on her own, and has very bad vision when her glasses 9they're prescription sunglasses) aren't on. She has an enormous soft spot for animals and won't let anyone kill them. She's also claustrophobic.
Personality:She's a bit solemn, and in the corner. But she's really a friendly girl, when they're aren't crowds. She doesn't adapt to change very well, and always needs someone to 'lean' on. She knows she's quite cute and she knows how to use it. She can be manipulative to get what she wants. She doesn't know squat about life outside of her home, her parents were sure of that.
Up For Alliances?: Sure.
Your Symbol: Spoiler
How much are you willing to post: Um... let's see, about 1 time a day? but I may have lapses where I don't post enough of post more then that. Oh yea, and in January, I'm going on a trip for a week and can't post.
Other:She's severely claustrophobic and has a low pain threshold. She won't tell anyone, but she's very prone to sicknesses.

I had no clue what would be a good weapon, but I did know how to make basic traps and what to use for those. Generally the good trap making supplies would be within the first couple of levels so I wouldn't even need to put myself into unnecessary danger. I tried to look around, but the sun was too bright and seemed to cast a glare no matter where I was looking. The most I could make out were the basic forms of the people around me and most of them looked big and strong.
I was ready for the start and I immediately bolted for the first level. I was fast, but not as fast as some. I looked back and I even saw some people not even trying to get the weapons but just turned and ran in the opposite direction. I made it to level 2 without much trouble and that is where I started to grab some items. I grabbed a backpack, some thin rope and some water. I guess I was wrong, I could only make a basic snare with the rope I had and it would only be a temporary trap. Once the victim got their wits in order, it wouldn't take much to get free.
I knew that I wouldn't be able to make it much farther, so I turned and ran for the nearest clear area. On the way, I was able to snag a dagger. Another tribute had gotten the other dagger and took a shot at me. I fell instinctively fell to the ground and the dagger missed, but my fall wasn't very graceful. I had managed to cut up my knees a bit, but that was only a temporary setback. I jumped to me feet as fast as possible and the tribute tried to give chase, but I was faster and I made it out of the chaos.
I ran until I couldn't run anymore and that is where I looked for an area to set the trap for the night. The sign where I stopped said 'Hollywood Tower Hotel'. I'm sure there was an area to rest in there. I made the snare near the river in view of the hotel and my nearby hiding spot and I covered it with leaves. It wasn't a good job, but if the victim wasn't paying attention, it would work.
I stepped back and looked at what was in my backpack. I had sunglasses, bandaids and sunscreen. That would be good enough to live with for now. I opened up my bottle to take a drink when I was interrupted by a surprised shriek. Someone had triggered the trap. I would have to kill them. I don't know what it was, but something was holding me back. I shook it off and walked out of my hiding spot.
A dark skinned girl was close to getting free from my trap. I looked down and saw that she had dropped some nunchucks as she fell. We stared at each other for a moment. I had her where I wanted her, but I couldn't bring myself to draw my weapon and use it. She was scared. She knew she was caught, but after a while, she realized that I wasn't moving and continued to try and get out. It wouldn't take her long, so why was I stopping?
Victor is now with Calligraphy's Charlie Carter. He has everything from level 2. A dagger, the backpack and some rope.
I was hyperventilating. We were here, in the games. We would almost all be dead by next week. I would probably be dead. In training, it was a fear that I didn't have to face yet, and I felt it would never come, but now I was here, about to become a murderer.
I felt the force field around me lift and I started running. I stuck to the side of the field as I sprinted towards the cornacopia. People around me already had weapons; their fists, and were fighting. Adrenaline pulsed through me as I felt a persuer behind me. I could see my target, a small pocketknife on the ground. I dived for it and kept running. I clumsily opened the knife and flung it behind me, stopping my chaser. I didn't know if they were dead or not, but I didn't want to look. I looked around me for something to grab and take. I scooped up a knife and started running out of the area. I tripped and fell on a water jug, which I took and quickly scrambled to my feet. I left the area and hid father away, where I could see the cornicopia, but was invisible. A moment later, I saw my ally, Ellette, come towards me, looking around furiously. I stepped out and beckoned her to come. I didn't see what she was holding, if anything. Soon, she was pulling me instead.
" C'mon!" She said, " I want to go this way, I have a good feeling about it." Level two Dagger and Level 3 water bottle Half gallon full, taken. Is with Ellette Brynn
My eyes flicked back and forth, on each of the competitors. Most of them were quite skinny. Next to me, though, was HUGE Red Ferning, my 'partner'.
"Red Ferning? I'm Skye Jershome, your fellow for lumber district." I said. He looked down at me.
"Do you want to meet.... hm, how about right in front of the huge white ball?" I asked him.
"Fine." He grumbled. I shrugged and got ready to roll.The force field thing lifted. I took off, but stopped quickly. My sudden halt got me a club in the back of my head.
"Ow!" I yelled, putting my hand to the back of my head. I scooped up something, the thing that made me stop. It was... a bar of soap. Really?! Like I was going to be hygienic in theses games.I sighed. It would make a good tool to throw at someone. I rushed up to district three, not even pausing at district two. I did, though, get a nice elbow in the gut. Please people, some peace?! I just want something to survive with. Then I'll tuck myself away where no one will find me, and when everyone else has killed each other, I'll show myself to become the winner. I looked around. Was that... a gun? I darted over to the spot, but someone beat me to it. I threw the soap at them, and they sort of slouched over. I grabbed the gun from their hands. It was... empty. Just my luck, eh? I kept running anyways, Wouldn't want to keep big Red waiting, would I? I tripped over someone's foot. The person I hit with the soap. She grabbed the gun from me. I got up, trying to run after her. I looked around- a knife, glistening the in sun. I grabbed it. Thank goodness. I charged up and cut her arm a bit. She dropped the gun, and i grabbed it. I stood over my prizes life a lion, making sure no one could grab it. Someone sliced my back, but they didn't try to get my precious cargo. I yelped in pain, but ultimately started to run again.
Level two knife and level two dart gun, empty.

I picked a dagger off the ground and stood up, looking around at everyone. I only had a moment to observe before everything dropped into chaos. I don't know who started it or even when the games went into full blast mode, but it started anyway. I'd only enough time to grab a water jug before I was running away quickly from everything, trying not to die so soon. Where was my partner, where was anyone? Would I have to go this alone? I don't think that would be good.
"Dammit." I turned quickly and ran towards the first building that I saw. I'd only started running again for a few seconds before I heard voices. I pressed myself up against the wall and pulled out the dagger I'd snatched.
"...good feeling about it." I held my breath and listened as the voices and footsteps got closer, as soon as they seemed close enough I jumped from out behind my cover and grabbed the closet person to me, putting their dagger up to their neck, ready to slice. Someone shrieked and I turned my eyes to the other girl. She stared at me for a few more seconds before blinking and sighing in relief.
"Dexter? Dexter Roland?" I nodded stiffly and pressed the knife harder against the person I was holding's neck. A bead of blood drew out and rolled down her neck. "I'm Ellette, your partner. This is Luna, she's an ally." Luna nodded siffly under my blade and I let her go, she fell to the ground coughing and grabbed her throat. I noticed she had a weapon of her own drawn, ready to strike back against me. I didn't even notice her pull the thing out. This girl was good.
"Can't believe I let you get me like that," she spat. I shrugged and put my knife away and grabbed the water jug.
"Oh, sorry." I laughed before rubbing the back of my neck. Elle just shrugged and opened her mouth to say something but the sound of voices not to far away cut her off. She stopped and looked around before turning and running.
"Come on," she hissed. I nodded and ran after her, trying not to make my footsteps too loud.
Last dagger and water jug taken. Is with Funkymomo's Luna and ultraviolet's Ellette .

"Oh my god!" The first words out of my mouth. I moved to grab a pocket knife and barely got my fingers around it before something sliced into my back. I screamed out in pain and ran off, my legs stumbling under me. I didn't get far before someone was colliding with me. I quickly hit the person with the pocket knife I'd got only to find that it wasn't open. I cursed myself under my breath before getting up. The person that ran into me grabbed my shirt and stood.
"Eric," he breathed. I nodded, noticing he's my partner and grabbed his hand, running away. We ran as fast as we could, which was not very fast at all, and gradually got away from the comotion.
"Hey, grab that!" I yelled at him. He looked around before grabbing the thing I yelled at him to grab, which was a map of the park and some dry fruit. I nodded before slipping into the nearest building, already out of breath and tired. I collapsed onto the ground and breathed heavily, the wound on my back making itself known.
"Wow," I gasped. Eric nodded in agreement and put his hands on his knees. "This is worse than I thought." I knew right then that I was not going to survive this long. I was going to die.
Pocket knife, dry fruit, and map of Downtown Disney taken. Is with Mazzi's Eric Sparrow.
