Introduction
It was done and the war was over, so many people had died fighting for control and now it seemed as if peace may finally come. Poverty was a word no longer spoken, because everywhere you looked it was just another part of life. Families were broken. Brothers, Sisters and neighbors were now dead in the chaos that seemed to have consumed the entire world. They called themselves Panem, and in the years following the war they were quick to come in and keep the peace. But things were never going to be the same, it seemed that way to me anyways.
At least there was peace, or what seemed to be peace anyways. It was hard at first, more often then not you had peace keepers beating people down in the streets because they refused to listen. That was over quickly however, nobody had the will to fight anymore and it simply seemed like this carried a sense of absolution to it. There was no more fighting a war, the people had lost their will to fight and frankly I don't blame them.
After they seperated us into districts and regulated what each would be used for the poverty was eased. Jobs were created, and others flourished due to neccissity and for once it seemed like things may be returning to normal. I was Seventeen at the time, a brother to three and a son only to my father. The Capital had an announcement, and while some people feared it there was also speculation that things may finally be improving. The town assembled in the square, the childeren seperated into groups by gender, then by age accordingly. The parents stood to the side concerned to say the least, but the way the officials carried themselves it seemed this was a celebration.
I don't remember much about that day, only a large glass bowl filled with names.. the first one called I was unaware of who it was yet the girl took the stage none the less not quite sure whether to be terrified or excited. When my name was called, I heard the words leave her lips yet I couldn't will my body forward. Eventually, I made it to the stage.. turned towards the crowd and she announced just what this was all about.
" Let the first annual Hunger Games.. begin. "

This is an introduction to a roleplay based upon the popular book series. This takes place far before the books, at the end of the revolution.
Requirements -
One thing I am worried about, is the use of power playing. Nobody wants their character to die, especially when they go about and spend a good deal of time creating them, their background, their personallity.. ect.
I would like to use a dice method, however that can also complicate things considering there are a ton of factors within the arena. Weapons, Training, Physical Abillity, Physical Defects, Woundes, Infections, Nutrition, Groups, ect ect. So for now at least, I will continue to deliberate.
