User blog:Huguenotical/The Centennial Games (The Fourth Quarter Quell)(-ACCEPTING TRIBUTES-)

Introduction
It's been 100 years since the war, and nothing has changed for dear Panem. Each year since, 24 tributes have gone and only one has returned. It's no doubt that the 100th is said to be the sariest game of all.

The TV flickers on in every house, a radio sparks to life outside. Everyone leans in, listens carefully. The President's voice is clear and concise as he announces the 100th Games' theme.

For the Centennial anniversary of the Hunger Games, we will conduct the reaping as it has always been done.

A collective sigh falls over every district. Have they been spared, just this once?

''HOWEVER, this year only women will be selected for the games. I repeat, this year, our tributes will only be female.''

And so began the 100th year anniversary of the revolution, and the beginning of the end for 24 girls....

Rules

 * 1) As the intro has stated, this year there will only be female participants. Sorry, lads, perhaps you'll have your chance in the bicentennial.
 * 2) You may enter up to 2 characters.
 * 3) Try to make your characters realistic to their district! A boy from 12 likely won't be an adept swordsman, while a girl from 1 could have some faults with more natural aspects of the games (berry id, etc)
 * 4) If your character is killed, don't take it personally! Kills will likely be generated by a random number calculator. I'm not trying to piss any of you off, no worries.

Game Plans

 * 1) Mentors/Stylists will be occasionally mentioned and will most likely be created by myself. If you'd like to incorporate a stylist or mentor in your backstory, I may decide to work it in though. Chin up!
 * 2) I will probably blurb a bit and begin at training, and scores will be posted. I may also offer sponsorship chances due to scoring and such in order to help make your tribute come out on top!

The Arena
Tributes begin within a valley encased in ice, essentially the hollowed out portion of a glacier. Around them are steep, high ice walls that would be extremely hard to climb - unless you have a pick, that is. There are a few roughly carved passageways but cave-ins are always a possibility, especially if one is fighting within them.

Once they leave the valley, tributes are greeted by a vast, snowing plain. A tribute who has climbed the glacier walls will be able to see qite far, where there are cracks and crevices and caves abound. The bloodbath survivors can feed off of various rodents and small mammals, and many caves and crevices often lead to fresh water, if one is daring enough to find it.

A notable featre is the part of the arena aptly named 'Glass Lake', a frozen-over lake that has somehow become transparent. Beneath it, a water-less cavern with a fresh river running below. If a tribute is careful and sneaky, they could easily follow an ususpecting camper and stab them from above...
