THE APPLICATION

The following includes all information we are looking to see from applicants. Please refer to this when filling out your application. We will ask for revisions if anything is missing.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

OUT of CHARACTER
Name: Your name
Other characters: Any other characters you play here?

IN CHARACTER
Name: Character's name
Alias: Character's alias(es) if applicable
Fandom: Fandom of origin
Canon point/AU: Where in their story you plan to take them from?
**If you are apping a canon Hunger Games Character your canon point is automatically set to just after the 74th Annual Hunger Games.
Journal: user
PB: Play-by. The actor or character you are using in icons.
Age: Your character's apparent, physical, spiritual, and/or mental age(s). Just put all that apply.
History: Links are preferred, however if you are apping an OC or AU, or the character doesn't have much history, feel free to elaborate on their world and life.

Presentation: What's the outside like? Their personality? How do they present themselves to the world? This section, along with motivation, should be the meat and potatoes of your app, with at least 2-3 paragraphs.
Motivations: And what's going on on the inside?

SETTING
Shuffle Information: The Game's system of war works based on a shuffle. This means that your offworld character may be changed over several times over the course of the war, from the Capitol's side to the Rebellion's. Remember that all new offworlders will start on the Capitol's side. Your character should have a reason to work for both.

For the sake of being thorough, we further ask that Panem AUs also provide this information in case of any future decisions on the player's part. Panem AUs will start on whatever side they are apped to.

Rebellion Role: How will they work in the war? A propoganda icon? A soldier? A nurse?

Rebellion Motivations: Give at least one reason your character would serve the Rebellion. This could involve being forced, brainwashed, blackmailed, and so on if you wish.

Capitol Role: How will they work in the war? A propoganda icon? A soldier? A nurse?

Capitol Motivations: Give at least one reason your character would serve the Capitol. This could involve being forced, brainwashed, blackmailed, and so on if you wish.

Preferred side: Is there something that would be preferred ICly or OOCly? Note that while those Rebebllion preferring will continue being shuffled, those who prefer the Capitol may stay on the side of the Capitol.

SAMPLES
First Person Thread: An example of a first person post, at least 200 words minimum. Feel free to use introspection and scene setting if your character is not chatty. Please use one of the two following prompts:

For Offworlders: After your first death in battle, you have been chosen to serve as propoganda for the Rebellion or the Capitol. It was violent, messy, and unexpected and just as suddenly, people are asking for you to be their voice.

All you have to do is talk into the device you've been provided to record your feelings and leave your mark in the war. It is quite clear you won't be left alone until you make that recording. Let everyone see what this war really means, they say.

All of Panem is watching.

For Panem OCs and AUs: Most of those from the Capitol have been kept in the Dark about the war. As much as can be, anyway, with those propos going. Now, you've been chosen to do one of them yourself. Unlike the offworlders, this place is your world. It may just be might just be your home that soldiers choose to take the fight next.

You've been given the chance to make your feelings and leave your mark in the war. More than anything, it's your chance to try and halt rebels or inspire them further. What of your home? Why should any of the soldiers listen to you? Saying one thing or another may very well lead you into a trap.

The camera is rolling. All of Panem is watching.

Prose: 200 word minimum. To mimic the style of the game, please write your third person sample based on the following prompt:

A bomb has just gone off in the middle of the battlefield. You're blown back by the blast but when you manage to get up, you find you were one of the lucky ones. People have been left dead and injured all around you, some of them Peacekeepers, some of them Districters, some offworlders, each could be on any given side.

You've still got your weapon-- even if it wasn't really a weapon before the bomb found you. It's broken, but the jagged edge of it could still bring about a painful death. You also know where the nearest make-shift hospital happens to be. That's not all though. You also happen to know the bomb that just went off will do so again. And so you've got a choice:

You can save yourself. You can be merciful. Or you can discard mercy all together and attempt to enact vengeance, removing the chance of a quick and painless death.

Your team watches from a distance, too far to do anything but wait and see what you'll do. Even the little things can make a difference in war. What sort of difference do you intend to make?

Additional information: Questions specifically for certain character types. Feel free to delete if it does not apply to your character type. Please answer all that do (For example, a past victor AU would answer both their question, and the past victory question)

Past victor: Please describe your character's Arena, and their relationship with the Capitol since.

Hunger Games AU and OC: What is your reasoning for the Capitol to drag your canon doppelganger into the war if they app in? What district is your character from? How do they feel about home?

Fifth or greater character: If this character is your fifth, sixth, or further character concurrently in the Games, including Disposable PCs in the count, please prove here that you have AC or are on track do do so by the next Activity Check (at least 150 credits for each character)

DISPOSABLE PCs

The Disposable PC mechanic is our way of trying to encourage people to populate the game with some pro-Capitol or one-shot PCs, since many upcoming plots will require at least a few. Capitol Disposables can be played continuously, while District Disposables can be played in one District Liberation for as long as that Liberation runs. ICly, this is anywhere from a day to two week, OOCly Liberations are active for a week with backdating. After the Liberation, the character may be killed or left behind to keep living in the District. The goal is to allow the players to have somewhat more control over the Capitol plots and/or make the District Liberations more lively, take some NPC duties off the mods, and create a more immersive Panem, without burdening the players with significant extra play duties.

The Disposable PC mechanic is such:

1. Players with at least one other active character in the game can app a Disposable PC, either pro-Capitol or as a one-shot District Disposable, under this mechanic. While 'active' obviously requires passing AC, the mods reserve the right to decline an app from a player who is 'inactive' in that they only pass AC by technicalities, have a strike on their record, or have a documented history of thread-dropping or holding up plots.

2. Capitol Disposable PCs must be pro-Capitol. District Disposables do no have to be pro-Capitol but should make sense for their respective District. For example, someone from the strongly pro-Capitol District 2 should be aware they're fighting on their own if they aren't pro-Capitol.

3. Disposable PCs do not earn credits for the people tagging them or for themselves. Capitol Disposable PCs earn AC by doing at least one open post per AC cycle (so about one every two months) and simply commenting to mid-cycle check-ins to show they are still present in the game. You can also tag around with them. The goal is to have them be a visible presence in the game but not a significant burden on the player’s time, as many players cited lack of time as a reason that they didn’t app a pro-Capitol PC.
District Disposables have no AC requirement as they do not last for a long period of time. You are allowed to backtag with District Disposables, but you may not start anything new with a District Disposable PC outside of their given District Liberation.

4. Disposable PCs can be OCs or Panem AUs.

5. Capitol Disposable PC apps will include a basic outline of what goal the player has for the character (prison? killed as a martyr? karma houdini?). That section of the app will be kept screened so the player and mods can surprise other players.
Appers of District Disposable PCs should be aware that the order and content of District visits is kept secret. Try to avoid detailing events that may contradict future mod posts (ie: having a hand in setting events, even ones depicted in the films or books, into motion as things may play out differently in the Games). Focus on the Character's personal story.

6. Capitol Disposable PCs cannot be Stylists or Escorts. They may be Mentors. They can be previously dropped Capitol characters so long as they no longer fill a Stylist or Escort role. You can drop a PC and turn them into a Disposable PC with mod consent. This does not require a separate application but does require a PM to the mods so everyone's on the same page.

8. If a Disposable PC is dropped, the player implicitly gives the mods permission to use that character in future plots for endgame.
Additionally, players who app Disposable PCs must be aware that the mods reserve the right to skip PC involvement in any given District Liberation if time becomes an issue nearing endgame, which may mean your District Disposable character goes un-used. We will look to see if there are alternate ways for them to be utilized but can't guarantee anything.

9. If a player enjoys playing their Disposable PC, they can upgrade them to an actual PC through a streamlined app process. To do so, please see the upgrades section of this page.

The following is a list of potential positions a Capitol Disposable PC can hold, but it is by no means exhaustive. If you have an idea not on this list, feel free to contact the mods or put in an app. The mods are going to be affirmatively trying to get non-Staff PCs more involved with the Offworlders.

- Former Sponsor
- Propoganda Director
- Restaurant owner/waiter/bartender for the Training Center Cafe
- Training Center Avox handler
- Training Center EMT or medical staff
- On-site counselor for Mentors
- Auditor
- Tech support, including for Offworlder info chips
- Offworlder interviewer (can also help co-write Panem Nightly)
- Paparazzi
- Certain ministers of Snow’s cabinet
- Stylist assistant
- Peacekeepers
- Muttation engineers (genetic engineers)
- Other scientists working in the Capitol
- Young Capitol children or fans (can interact in TYP and in parties)
- Party/Tower Decorators

And some examples for District Disposables:

- The family of a Mentor
- The family of one of the Arena NPCs
- An AU of another character you've been wanting to play
- A totally new OC
- A Hunger Games Canon Mentor (I.E. Enobaria)
