PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITING TRIBUTES! THANK YOU!

Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to The Redemption Games! These will be a special games, where all the tributes that are competing suffered a loss in a previous games. Now, many of you have victors, but you also have tributes, who have come so close to winning, but then failed. Or you've had tributes who were expected to win, and then suffered heartbreaking defeat early on, or have had tributes that suffer grevious injuries, emotional and physical, but just can't pull off the victory. In the these games, you will have a chance to redeem those tributes, in one of the most exciting, thrilling, biggest FanFiction Hunger Games of all time. These are not a regular games.

These are the Redemption Games.

Rules
PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITING TRIBUTES! THANK YOU!

1. You can enter one of your own tributes, and they DO NOT have to be from the same district. I would actually prefer if they weren't from the same district.

2. You tributes have to fit the criteria above, and CAN NOT have won a games in the past. To enter, Give me the regular info, and the games where they have suffered some sort of loss. (See intro for more detail).

3. Reservations last for 48 hours, and you can not reserve two tributes from the same districts.

4. There do not have to be two tributes from each districts, as there might not be many tributes from certain districts that fit the criteria. For example, there could be three tributes from district 1 (A district where tributes commonly come in secong or third), and only one from 12 (Where the tributes don't usually make it far, and usually aren't that strong). But, there has to be atleast one tribute from each district, and a maximum of three, possibly 4. I want to keep the male/female ratio fairly even.

5. District 13 and the Capitol are included, but do not neccesarily have to have tributes if there aren't any that fit the criteria.

6. Because of rules #4 and #5, there can be any amount of tributes, from 22 to 30, as long as they fit the criteria.

7. You can enter other user's tributes, but only if they are currently active. I will notify them that their tributes are in the games.

8. Along with the games, I will will include training, chariot rides, interviews, final 8 interviews, the victor's interview, and the victory tour. I will not include reapings, as these are not a normal games.

9. The tributes will, in the games, remember their previous games. They are in a way "resurrected" to compete in these games.

10. Each tribute will start off with $100 CDN. (I'm too lazy to add all the eztra 0's for the thousands in the tribute chart, so I'll just do $100, so the weapons and suplies will be very cheap. Choose what you want your tributes to have, and I'll decide the price.

I know this is complicated, so if you have any questions, just ask me!

Tribute Chart
"Rows may be deleted if the number of tributes from districts is not met.

'Originally from another district.

The Reapings
The reapings started off normally except for one thing. The two giant glass balls in each of the districts were replaced with a large TV screen. The crowds were puzzled, and then an image came on the screens.

"Hello, citizens of Panem," says a grave voice, coming from a blury image of a perosn on the screen. "I know you were all expecting a regular Hunger Games this year, but we've had a change of plans. Instead of a regular games, we will be using pre-selected tributes from past games this year. It will be very painfull for the family's of those tributes! Would the following tributes please come to the stage."

The voice says the names of 25 tributes from all the Districts and the Capitol. Those tributes are handcuffed and dragged to the various stages throughout the districts. Most of the people are relieved that their family is not in danger, but for a select few, they will have to endure the pain of sending loved ones off to be slaughtered. Again.

Chariot Rides
The crowd is silent, awaiting the tributes. They have seen these tributes in action before, and can not wait for them to start again. The first chariot comes out, and the crowd roars. What will undeniably be one of the biggest games in history, the Redemption Games, have begun.

Because some districts only have one tribute, I will be combining some district chariot rides.

District 1
Iridessa and Natilie are dressed like queens, with robes made of jewels, and crowns on their heads. They both have maniacal smiles on their faces, both eager to get back into the arena and start killing people. The crowd loves the costumes, but are a bit terrified by their expresions.

District 2
Lukel, Chlorine, and Trina are dressed in the standard peace keeper's uniform, with rather bored expressions on their faces. The crowd has seen this countless tiomes before, and boos them.

District 3
Semus and Alice are dressed in lights kind of like you see on billboards. The capitol bbos them, as they have seen this before. But then, the lights start to get brighter until they reach their peak and the crowd has to look away to avoid getting blind. When the light dies down, the tributes have disapeared. The crowd starts applauding, amazed at this trick.

District 4
Scorpius, Aqua, and Hail are dressed as sharks in teh begginning, but thewn their costumes begin to morphe into different sea creatures, from sharks to sea anenomes and squid. The crowd gets on their feet for this one.

District 6
Illegal and Maple are dressed as ninjas for this ride, with the the head bands and the swords and throwing stars. Illegal just sits around doing nothing, but Maple is on her feet, slicing up dummies on the chariot and dancing around. They love her but Illegal... not so much.

District 7
Zebra and Primrose are dressed like loggers, but they don't actually do anything until three minutes in. All of a sudden, saws seem to come from nowhere within their costumes. They each have five table saws on them that come half way through their costume, and appear to be slicing them into confetti, but they are somehow unharmed. They then walk up to a number of trees on their chariot, stand up against them, and the slice them down in a fraction of a second. They then start doing cartwheels and destroy anything on their chariot. The crowd absolutely loves them, and gives a standing ovation.

District 8
Amethyst and Chisle are dressed completely in hundreds ribbons and confetti, and they are blowing around at leats ten feet off their bodies. A fan on the chariot blows them around, and makes them look quite spectacular. The crowd likes this one until the tributes get tripped up by the ribbons and start flopping around like bafoons!

District 10
Satan is all alone for this one, but he prefers it that way. He is dressed as farmer at first, chewing on some hay, when all of a sudden he is surrounded in smoke. When it clears, it reveals him as a demon-like farmer. His clothes are the same, but his facial features look like something you'd see in a horror movie. The crowd turns away in fear, but can't deny that that was a stunning performance.

District 11
Jay and Ash are dressed up as fruits, Ash as an orange, and Jay as an apple. They are just rolling around laughing, and the crowd isn't that impressed at the ride. They like the tributes themselves though, and they show great promise.

District 12
Dare and Beauty are dressed literally as sticks of dynamite. The fuse burns down and they explode, giving the front row some rather painful burns. The tributes are revealed standing there and waving to the crowd, trying to play nice to the people they hate.

Districts 5 & 9
Malco and Gemma are dressed as Greek and Roman warrior respectfully. The begin to battle, Malco with a trident and a net and aromor, Gemma with a sword. The crowd knows it's fake, but the tributes make it look quite real.

District 13 & Capitol
Tiffany is dressed like a SWAT member, and Octavio like a handsome prince. The crowd immediatly falls in love with Octavio, and likes Tiffany too when she starts shooting a beebee gun into the crowd. Both tributes are good, and even Octavio, as shallow as he is, can be a killer.

Day 1
Training starts off normal. All the tributes have done this before. But an hour in, the gamemakers arrive, along with some unexpected guests.

All the victors of the tribute's games are present at the training. Most of the tributes just ignore them, but a few start cursing, and some have to be held back to stop them from running up to the victors, to either try to strangle them, give them a hug, or just talk. Once the tributes calm down, the victors make their way intot he training area. Again, most just ignore them and go off to training, but some stay to, well, greet them.

Natalie Cambell makes a beeline towards Albany, looks at him, and then punches him in the face, breaking his nose. A gamemaker drags her away, and takes Albany to the hospital wing. Amethyst goes up to Whimzi, and they say their greetings, kind of akwardly. Primrose also starts talking, and the three stay together for a while.

Satan goes up to Spring Howards, and Spring has a face full of sorrow.

"I never should have let you go. It's my fault you died, and now you're back here again," she whispers.

"Don't be an idiot. It's the Hunger Games. And just 'cause I'm here again doesn't mean I'll die."

"Everyone here is a psycopath! How can you not die? You'll be a huge target!"

"I don't know. But I'll try hard to win. For you," he replies.

Meanwhile, Jay and Ash from 11 have allied, and so have Primrose, Amethyst, Scorpius, and Zebrawood, and the career pack is beingformed. All the tributes from the career district have allied except for Scorpius, Natalie, who wants to go solo, and Trina. The careers have also added Tiffany from 13. Alice is working on Satan, trying to form an alliance. She reminds him of Abigail, and eventually he accepts.

Malco and Gemma form a shaky alliance, and reject Illegal when he asks to be included. Beauty and Chisel stay together the entire day, focusing on swordplay and knives. They have a mutual agreement to stay together. They take in Semus, and together they form a threesome alliance. Everyone else goes solo. Dare is thinking about possibly joining up with Trina, but doesn't get the chance to talk with her. The alliances mostly stay together in training, working on improving their combat skills.

Day 2
For day 2, most of the tributes go solo, trying to work on their individual skills. The few exceptions are Satan and Alice, and Jay and Ash. Chisel works on survival skills, and Amethyst tries to learn more about the careers so she has a better chance at fighting them.She's still kinda caught up in that "Anti-Career" thing. Zebrawood spends about 5 minutes at each station, trying to learn as much as he can before heading nto the arena. Trina and Dare try to form an alliance, but Dare accidently offends her, and they walk off alone.

Scorpius tries to improve his gladiator style of fighting (trident and a net) and works on hunting. Octavio tries to appear weak, but concealing a great fighter and a mad killer.

Gemma is working on axes and spears, and Natalie is working on knives, and trying to get under the skin of as many other tributes as she can. The tributes leave satisfied, hungry for revenge, and eager to show their skills to the gamemakers tomorrow.

Training Scores
See the "Tribute Chart" above for training scores.

Interviews
Caeser Flickerman is sitting in his chair, hair painted blinding white, waiting for the first tribute. The interviews will be a little different this year, with sometimes more than one tribute up on the stage at once.

Natalie comes up on the stage, looking rather grumpy and snapping at caeser.

"I dunno, i just wanna kill people," is her standard response. The crowd admires her training score, but isn't too fond of her personality.

Iridessa is a lot nicer, and smiles and waves to the crowd.

"It's so great to be back here again! I can't wait to get into that arena!" she says, her smile loking a bit fake.

Lukel Darker is indeed very dark and mysterious in the interview, not saying much at all.

Trina and Chlorine come on together, and even thogh they are not allies, try to get along. It doesn't work, and at the buzzer, the girls are trying to strangle each other.

Seamus talks about his strengths and his strategy in the arena, which is to run away from the cornucopia, hide behind some rocks or something near the cornucopia, and take whatever is left at the end.

Alice talks up Satan, and how the two have connected really well. Satan can't help but smile.

The D4 tributes come up together. Scorpius says how grateful he is to the Capitol, obviously trying to win sponsors. Hail taks about her experices here, and how she plans on winning these games at all costs. Aqua says she's out for revenge against quite a few of the tributes, and wants the Capitol to help her get it.

Malco and Gemma get called up together, and talk about their alliance.

"So Gemma, how do you think this alliance will hold up against the bigger alliances in these games?"

"We just have to trust eachother to do the right thing, and stick together no matter what. I fwe die, we die together" she says. The Capitol loves these two.

Illegal is up next, and is extremely irritated. He gives Caeser cold looks all the time, and the Capitol doesn't really like him much.

Maple says she wants to go completely solo, and doesn't want to team up with anybody. The Capitol is still unsure about her.

Zebra and Primrose get called up, and talk about how they want to pummel the careers. They start making exremely rude comments, and you can hear the indignant shouts of the careers from behind the stage.

Amethyst follows the same line, but is more respectful towards the careers. She talks about her alliances strategies untilt he buzzer rings.

Chisel says he is excited to work with Beauty, and together they would be an amazing pair. That with his great score, he is a Capitol favourite.

Satan talks about how he and Abigail have bonded, and how she reminds him of Abigail. He says that they'll do amazing together, and that no one stands a chance against the pair of them.

Jay jokes around with Caeser, and the Capitol immediatly likes her. She goes three minutes over when she tells a joke about her and Ash in training, a broken iPod, a bottle of tartar sauce, and a sword (long story) that cracks the audience up.

Ash is a bit more serious, and talks about him and Jay's strategies. The Capitol likes the tribbs from 11 especially.

Dare talks about how he was gonna team up with someone, he doesn't say who, and then says he decided against it. Rather boring, and it doesn't take a guenius to figure out he meant Trina.

Beauty praises Chisel, and says he's the best friend she ever had. She chokes up at this point, and has to leave the stage.

Tiffany id dead serious, and says she's gonna win this for everyone who has ever suffered in the games, and for everyone back in 13. The Capitol admires her determination.

Octavio says that even with his low score, he will do well in these games. He says that he has some hidden talents, and that they should watch him closely.

Landscape
This year, the arena will be different every day.

It will start off as a forest in the winter, but the next day the pine trees could be replaced with cactuses, palm trees, boulders, lakes, even building. And the wheather will change as well. It could go from blazing heat to hurricane-force winds in a few hours. The landscape, wheather, everything will be different each day. The general shape of the arena, a six-sided star, will stay the same, and so will the cornucopia and a few other major landmarks, but everything else will be constantly changing.

I will reveal the arena after the interviews are completed.

Mutts
The only mutt this year is a Komodo Dragon that stands on it's hind legs. It's limbs are more humanoid which makes it very fast, and it is shaped kind of like a velociraptor from Jurassic Park. It's bite is deadly, and it has an incredible sense of smell that allows it to smell things with in a 200 yard radius. It attacks any human in sight.

The Twist
To add extra drama this year, the tribute's families have been placed in the arena, their memories washed, not remembering the tributes. They are near the edge of the arena, all together in a little village with huts, constantly being attacked by mutts. Claudius will reveal this to the tributes on Day 2 and will give them a choice: continue on with the games and try to be the last one standing and leave their families do die at the Capitol's hand after the games, or to sacrifice themselves and have no chance at surving so their family so they can go home, get their memories back, and live on. Again, the tributes have no idea what is going on, but when they find out, they will have to band together to find a way to protect their loved ones without dying, or leave them to perish.

Day 1
Narrator

The tributes rise up on their platforms, into the arena. Some are dreading the sound of the gong, others anticipating it. The cornucopia is on a very small, round plateau about 200 metres wide. It is about 40 metres high, and slopes down steeply into a forest beyond the circle of tributes. The only other ways out is are four rope bridges placed evenly by the tributes that lead down safely into the arena. The tributes are spread farther apart this year, each about 75 meters away from the cornucopia. The tributes tense, awaiting the gong that never seems to ring. When it finally does, all hell breaks loose.

Seamus

I'm cursing under my breath at the sight of the arena. Now how am I suppost to carry out my strategy? there's no where to hide near the cornucopia. I decide to bag my stratey, and rush to the cornucopia. I grab two plastic bags, and a machete and then leave down the steep slope.

Satan

I immediatly spot Alice and I make a beeline towards her. Another tribute is advancing towards her with a sword in hand. I am not going to let her die like Abigail. I grab a knife and prepare to attack, but she handles it herself. She slices at Chlorine from 2 with an axe, and she falls down, as good as dead.

The rest of the careers see us, and I think now is a good time to take off. We run towards the nearest bridge, only to be ambushed by Malco from 5, who slices at my hand.

Primrose

Me, Amethyst, Scorpius, and Zebrawood rush towards eachother, and each grab what we can. We try to sneak down the hill, but the careers see us and two of them, Aqua and Lukel, run after us.

"You guys go, I'll hold 'em off!" shouts Zebra, already running back up the hill.

"Zebra no! We're faster than them ,lets just run!" I shout back.

"No, let him go. He's a better fighter than those two, he can take them," says Amethyst, with a little doubt in her voice.

Zebra rushes up the hill, sword in hand, but the rest of the career pack has joined them, preparing to kill him, and before we can run back after him, they have pulled him out of view.

Hail

We captured the guy from 7, and we have him surrounded.

"Lets just kill him quickly and get back to the corncopia!" growls Chlorine.

"No. Lets take him with us, mabye ransom him off. He could be useful," says Tiffany in such a commanding voice, nobody argues.

"Alright, now lets get back to the cornucopia! Quickly, the other sare gettng away!" shouts Chlorine.

Octavio

I wait around my plate, watching for prey. When Illegal from 6 comes towards me, I pull out a hatchet from my shirt, and throw it at him, point blank. It hits him in the stomach, and he goes down. He isn't dead yet, and he starts crawling away towards an empty bridge. He'll be dead in an hour max, so I let him go.

I grab a pack of meat, a water bottle, and take off across a bridge.

Dare

I grab a spear and stand back, surveying the sceen. To my shock, I see Ash from 11 Beauty, my district partner, in the neck. I want to go in and save her, but I know she is already gone. Chisel pulls her away from the cornucopia, and stays with her until he's sure she's dead, then he runs off with almost nothing.

Trina comes up to me, and asks for an alliance. I had originally wanted to go solo, but I realize it would be way smater to team up with her. We take off down the hill.
