User blog:Panthermic/Faux Paradise: The 77th Hunger Games

CareersHello, and welcome to my Hunger Games. Enter your tributes, and see if they have what it takes to survive the ultimate battle royale. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Introduction
The previous games, the 76th Hunger Games, had just ended, with there seemingly being no victor. This end had upset the capitol, who wanted their first victor in almost a century. Trying to calm the citizens down, President Cassius Falcon had the previous head gamemaker fired and replaced with a new one, one sure to provide more entertainment and less mistakes than their predecessor.

It has been a year since that day, and a new Hunger Games were to begin soon. The districts were in wait to the new horror that would take away two of their own, and see which tribute was strong enough to escape alive. Only time would tell who would be picked to fight in the event.

Tribute List
Just like the original games, there will be 2 tributes from districts 1-12, one male, one female, for a total of 24 tributes.

Alliances
Tributes will have bonuses and penalties based on their district that will affect their likelihood of getting into an alliance. Tributes from District 1, 2, and 4 have an increased chance of getting into the careers, while other districts have a decreased chance of getting in.

Arena
The arena is a lush, tropical resort in the middle of a deep, boundless ocean. The sandy beaches are gently touched by the soothing waves, with elegant palm trees complimenting the bright, vibrant colors of the paradisal island.

On the island lies a typical resort, with a pool and several straw huts. The cornucopia lies under a giant gazebo, marking the geographic center of the island. One large building marks the main residential area of the island, expect it to be filled with tributes fighting for a comfortable shelter.

While the main island offers luxury and relaxation, not every tribute will find it safe due to it's small size and limited hiding places. Luckily, there is another island a fair, swimmable distance away. This island is more wild, the only buildings on it a small farm house and old barn. There lies a field with some strawberries in it, beyond that is a thick jungle surrounding an inactive volacno. What's noteable about this island are it's black sand beaches, opposite to the lighter ones on the main island.

Another noteworthy site is a formation of craggly rocks northwest of the big island. One of the more high risk high reward areas, tributes should come well equipped due to the prevelence of shark mutts, but should they come, they'll find the dangerous spires to hold shipwrecks filled with rare loot. One of the ships is said to contain a treasure map, which could grant the owner an extremely powerful device to aid them in the games.

The final thing to take into account is what isn't seen above. Below the water's surface is a vast ocean, with tons of sunken ships, planes, and underwater caves. A tribute skilled in swimming can make use of the treasures below, and can easily gain an advantage without a need for cornucopia visit.
