Hwa didn't really care for the games. It didn't really entice any excitement or dread, over the years it had just become another part of what it meant to be alive. So when a name that never ever belonged to anyone was called, Hwa stepped up with a bowed head. How silly, that the two who were called up were the same age, who at one point would have garnered sympathy from the masses for being picked but now they held nothing but even more apathy. Letting out a sigh, Hwa nodded towards Kaori, wishing her a good luck

"Well, there's nothing wrong with taking your time with these things. Higher Education isn't always for everyone too." Uyu pointed out smoothly, resting his face on his palm. Farinna's enthusiasm was entertaining, oh the enthusiasm of youth. But youth shouldn't be that eager to rush on ahead, it was okay to just sit back and live out their life before deciding what it was that they wanted to do with their lives.

The sea was turbulent today. Julian stared out into the rolling waves as they lapped at his toes, watching as the sea foam frothed up in a frenzy. Perhaps because it was reaping day, under a new government. So many new and unknown factors that plagued the minds of his students, all of them eager to participate in the unknown thrill the new regime could provide. In the end, all would unfold and Julian would only watch.

"Julie." A voice called and Julian immediately turned around for one of the few people who could match him. "Its time to go." A hand reached out for him and he took it gratefully. Twining their hands, Julian out of the beach. Squeezing the hand that he was grasping, Julian strode towards the grounds with a wide grin, greeting those who he passed. His words were warm, encouraging even as he passed families and career hopefuls on the way. For District 4, these events were always celebrations and festivities, abundant in the way that its people went about talking about the reaping. Julian continued to chat with those who approached him, entertaining them as he spread assurances and good will to those he talked to, only pulled along by the slight tug on his hand. It was a comfort that he never took for granted, holding steadfast to it as he steadily made his way over to the podium.

It was interesting to see that nothing had really changed. The structure was similar enough that Julian could hear some of his students murmuring in anticipation as he himself droned out the rabble. In the end it was only with his partner's help that he even jolted awake for the calling of names. Even when it was his own that was called, it didn't matter. It only began to sink in for him when he had to let go and climb on stage, unwilling to do so for a brief moment. With a charming smile, Julian introduced himself to the whooping and catcalls of many other citizens, very clearly a crowd favourite. To those who were watching, it was clear that Julian had been waiting his whole life for this moment, basking in the empty glory for a fleeting moment.

It was almost cute, how two of their members kept spilling information about themselves without Uyu having to do any work, keeping his eyes trained on the environment around them. Listening to the different stories that surrounded the people he was stuck with, Uyu ruminated on what could possibly the common factor that had brought them unto a group. For now, it seemed as if they didn't have much in that department, though any information was always valuable

Giving the waitress a charming grin and thanking her for her time, Uyu flipped through the menu. He supposed that newcomers probably meant that the people around them had been given different selections. Not the best business model, but if customers were curious enough it was a good tactic to keep them coming back to finally see what was on the non-newcomers section. The diner definitely had a theme going on and while Uyu was getting pretty big retro hippie vibes from the decor and waitress outfits alone, it wasn't a bad sort of retro.

The diner itself was cute quite cute in his opinion, a place that he would definitely put his resume in for if he was looking for someplace new to work at. But it was made all the more charming because of its creepy atmosphere that seemed to settle over the town like a blanket, a specter that clung to the walls and the backs of its residents. Uyu liked it, the atmosphere familiar in a way that made him feel at home. The surrounding businesses also seemed well maintained, with employees actually manning the front desks and customers bustling around. For all intents and purposes, it was just like any other town with happy citizens and a booming economy.

Possibly because of his height, Uyu was the first to reach the diner, resting under the shade as he waited for the rest of the group to catch up.

Uyu seemed to be lagging behind, struggling with the sandy terrain as he shrugged off his puffy coat to throw it over his head for shade though its cropped nature didn't provide much relief. His pale skin was already starting to blister under the harsh sunlight, obviously unused to such levels of exposure. "It's a place to start." He agreed, following close behind Maverick. "Sand dunes also get unbelievably cold during the night and while I don't have the faintest objections to sharing a bed with any of you lovely cuties, it would be for the best if we found better shelter. We don't know if this lovely weather might change for the worse either."

While there were certainly flirtatious undertones to the words, Uyu was quite serious about finding shelter for now. While he wasn't sure exactly what environment they were in there were always danger associated with leaving themselves unguarded in open areas. Especially with so many unknown variables, it would undeniably be safer to be as cautious as possible

This was not the first time that Uyu woke up not knowing where he was. Extra points though because he hadn't ever woken up in the desert before. Not the best experience admittedly, 2/10 experience ranked just below the time he woke up to people hotboxing themselves while having a... well a very heated workout session with more than one person, or the time he almost nearly drowned himself in the bath. Fun times.

Groaning, Uyu staggered up and immediately pulled a face as sand came pouring out of his clothes. It was pretty funny to an outsider, seeing a wiry man stand up only for a sandfall to come spilling out of his pockets and jacket. Slightly disgruntled, Uyu removed his gloves to shake sand out of them before taking a good look around him. Seeing other people, his face snapped immediately into a friendly smile as he picked his way over, only wobbling slightly as sand shifted under his heels. "Oh dear, that is a bit embarrassing." He laughed as a greeting, one hand rubbing the back of his neck. "You wouldn't happen to know where we are, no?"

ᴘᴇʀꜱᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ / A very reclusive dog, Alecto already distanced himself emotionally before the whole thing started, unwilling to form many attachments and instead listened almost fanatically to those who experimented on them but once undergoing surgery and having more and more of his parts replaced, he began to close himself off so that he wouldn't hurt anyone when the time comes. He has a bit of a protective streak towards the newer recruits but it always manifests in biting words and harsh training. Its much easier to show others how to survive than coddle them is his opinion as he is down to earth and very practical in his decision making, sometimes too practical to the point that it seems like apathy. Some have questioned why his name is one of a goddess of wrathful retribution but that face is only saved for those who deserve it

He was respected among his peers for his snap decisions and quick thinking bit Alecto felt no real pride in it. It was only when he encountered a small but fierce Jack Russell Terrier that Alecto began to find the warmth he desired. Forging a friendship with him, Alecto's performance began to drop, something that the organization couldn't stand for. His friend was taken from him and Alecto himself had most of his body replaced in an effort to keep him under the organizations thumb. The only reason why he hasn't been turned into a mechanical dog is because the Organization valued his intellect and quick decision making skills.

Name:
Julian Solo

Age (18+ only):
28

Gender:
Male

Team:
Blue

District:
4

Appearance:
Tall, handsome, the picture perfect career. Why he hasn't gone to the games is a mystery only the teachers at the academy will ever know as he is the embodiment of District 4's battle prowess in the arena. Physically, he is capable of throwing even the heaviest weights around with terrifying accuracy, soft sea-blue eyes tracking targets with a predatory zeal. His striking blue hair is an almost defining trait of his and paired with his olive skin tone it makes for one hell of a looker. Julian actively also pays attention to his appearance, often picking clothes that do complement his athletic build.

Personality:
Colloquially known as the District's Golden Boy, Julian is as much of a ladies killer as he is a mama's boy. He's the type of boy that will help grannies carry their groceries back to their home, the kid who would pay for your order if you forgot your wallet, and he pets all the puppies he comes across. What a guy. He is a ray of sunshine, truly one of the kindest people within the District. He is the poster boy for the academy in which all career tribute hopefuls aspire to go into, often mentoring many of them in battle skills and also encouraging many in their education. He's a socialite, a magnet for attention who always has a large smile on his face as he welcomes you in for a conversation.

Away from the prying public eye though, Julian is rather... blank. He isn't very expressive, almost as if he mimics the emotions he sees when out in public rather than feel anything himself. Its quite odd, especially when you learn that Julian is an extreme introvert and gets tired whenever interacting with more than three people. Huh.

Powers:
He can push or repel water particles with his own heart being the central point. He is skilled enough that many don't realize that he can't actually fully "control" water, but it does come with limitations. For one, his control is not omni-directional, it is only limited to the lateral plane but his impressive control of multiple particles gives the illusion that it is.

Abilities:
o Strengths
Incredibly Talented with any sort of Weaponry | Willing to Kill as a Solution | Charismatic and Charming | Socially Perceptive | Pragmatic and Rational | Strong Leadership | Resourceful | Strategic | Impressive Stamina

o Weaknesses
Emotionally Absent | Difficulty Relating to Others | Distrustful | Incredibly Easy to Manipulate | Can't Stand Being around People for very Long | Passive | Willing to Kill as a Solution

Palpad?:
Yesss

Name:
Hwa

Age (18+ only):
18

Team:
Red

District:
11

Appearance:
Hwa is an average kid with tanned skin and soft brown eyes, bordering on gold if viewed in the right light but have long since lost that spark of innocent life. No one is really sure how it came about, but Hwa has soft peach hair, unnatural and probably because of the amount of time spent in the sun bleaching the hair in a semi-natural way. Because of a lack of personal grooming, Hwa has a sort of shaggy and unkept skunk hairstyle. As someone with very little money, most of Hwa's clothes are oversized and falling apart at the seams.

Personality:
There's not much to talk about Hwa. Once the hope of the nation for a better future, the people have long since moved on to someone else, leaving Hwa in the dust to fester and rot like the rest of them. While the child who was bright eyed and looked to the future with excitement and eagerness is long gone, Hwa still believes that one day its possible to turn their fate around as the stars had said. So all Hwa can do is wait, wait patiently while working steadily forward for the day that everything will be made right once again.

Powers:
Astromancy
Hwa is able to divine messages from the stars. Sometimes they directly whisper their secrets into a listening ear, other times they must be read among the skies but they will usually predict coming events in cryptic ways or lead Hwa towards an event be they good or bad. Hwa is unable to use this power during the day and has to interpret the message as they are never straightforward.

Abilities:
o Strengths
Encyclopedic Level of Knowledge on Plants and their Various Uses | Cunning | Small Enough to Fit into Small Spaces | Book and Street Smart | Agile Runner | Good Physical Strength | Survival Experience | Wide range of Language Abilities

o Weaknesses
Can't Take Hits | Unwilling to Kill | Weak Constitution | Little to no Combat Experience or Knowledge | Willing to give Enemies Second Chances

Palpad?:
Yesss

Name:
Utsugi Uyu

Age:
24

Gender:
Male

Appearance:
Tall and unafraid to show it off, Uyu's flamboyant attire is quite the eye catch. With a baggy reflective parka that hangs loosely around slender shoulders and sneaker heels that look way too impracticable to walk in but somehow still appears to be perfectly in life with the chic wardrobe, everything about Uyu screams high end elegance. Somehow, even Uyu's hair reflects this, the undersides of stark white bleached hair dyed technicolor pink and blue and styled to look almost like a jellyfish, falling over one silver eye. Jewelry adorns slim wrists that jangle with every movement, the overall outfit quite loud in general both in appearance and sound. Somehow though... somehow. Uyu always manages to sneak up on people...

Personality:
Flirtatious and a bit of a smooth talker, Uyu is always ready to greet customers and patrons with a charming smile and lip service. Uyu chases after the spotlight, taking any chance to capture someone's attention with honeyed words feeding exactly what they want to hear. As someone who has long since worked in customer service, Uyu has an almost endless patience and a firm poker face that's hard to break, making his emotions a little hard to read. But that isn't a problem as Uyu is quite emotionally open, always sharing innocuous thoughts and opinions as freely as the wind. But curiously enough, even if Uyu is loose lipped and generous with information, no one really knows anything personal about the mysterious coffee shop worker as if Uyu is nothing but a phantom their imagination conjured up

Fears:
Everything must come to end and one day the curtains will fall on Uyu's final stage, leaving nothing crushing darkness as no one bothers to remember who Utsugi Uyu is. To be forgotten and alone, unneeded among the countless entertainers and just another face among the many. Uyu just wants to be remembered, needed, to be someone worth any sort of love

Backstory:
tbrp for now. there's just some things better kept as a secret

Password:
ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD

Palpad:
yes please

Other:
just a liddol dude

Turning his head at the loud sounds by the beach, Ascelin didn't even have to squint to see the small ants crawling over the sand, all much too loud for his liking. It seemed like even in this weak and vulnerable form, he still had good enough eyesight. Now, how to move. He had two pretty solid appendages similar to his arms attached to his waist now, much different to the sleek and flexible tentacles he was used to. He certainly couldn't propel himself like he usually could, not equipped with the right limbs to do so, but that was okay. He was always a fast learner. He had to be if he wanted some chance of survival down in the depths.

Hauling himself up by using a tree as a crutch, Ascelin took a few shaky steps forward and growled as the fabric gripping his legs prevented him form moving too much. What even were these things anyways, so annoying. But soon enough, just as he had predicted, Ascelin was walking around with little to no problem and made his way down to the beach. Perhaps those silly ants that were struggling along it could give him some insight as to what was going on. What he'd do after though.... well that really depended on his mood didn't it.

As darkness fell and the difference between the ocean and the trenches grew more and more blurred, the shadows moved fluidly. A large body slithered through the sand, kicking up dust and disturbing the ocean floor. Silt billowed up around the dark figure as it stalked towards the sands. Anyone watching the sea from the beach wouldn't notice anything amiss until it was too late and a massive shape rose out of the water. A clawed hand gripped one of the cliffs overlooking the water and Ascelin hauled himself out of the water, water sloughing off his body in waves. By the time he had put wobbling feet on firm ground, all of the water had ran off the cliff, leaving behind a fairly scrawny looking boy.

Examining this new appearance of his, Ascelin was only slightly disappointed to learn that he was much much smaller than what he was used to. Just as he was trying to ascertain exactly what was going on, he suddenly retched, almost falling forward if it wasn't for his hand bracing against the dirt. Huh, his nails were blunt, he noted absently as he coughed wetly something stuck in his throat. After a few minutes of painful sounding hacking, bone white teeth, jagged and wicked in its build, lay strewn around the grass as Ascelin spat out the final traces of blood in his mouth. Unpleasant for sure, he didn't really put much stock into these sorts of things and only put the teeth into a bag that had somehow appeared on his body much like the annoying restricting things that wrapped around every inch of his body.

	Giving Theo a thin smile, Bora took the drinks and left as quickly as it came. The topic of romance, while not unfamiliar made envy boil in its stomach. How nice it must be to be able to think about such things and live a life where work was actually fun.

It's not like I wanted to work for them either, Bora whined petulantly in its mind, laughing politely as it watched Kendo pocket the business card with a sense of satisfaction. "Yes, certainly corporate work isn't meant for everyone. We all find satisfaction in different fields and it certainly looks like you're finding fulfillment in your work, Mr. Barista. Again, apologies for such a large order." It noted lightly, eyes tracking how many drinks had already been made. Glancing at the clock hung on the walls, it calculated roughly how much longer it might take. Despite the cordial talk, Bora did seem to be a little antsy as if it was running behind on a schedule.

Bingo, Bora was right on the money. Someone who wasn't interested in the Zaion label and ksntrad did entertainment for entertainment's sake. Bora always recommended these types of talents and though very few of them actually managed to get contracted (apparently sucking up to the big wigs was a criteria in their checklist of a good entertainers, the fools), it didn't mean that Bora would stop.

"Stand up comedy, hm? Our company certainly doesn't have many of those, you'd make a good addition." Bora noted idly. He certainly fit the bill of one at first glance anyways.

"Thank you so much." Bora muttered, paying for the ridiculously large order swiftly. Hearing Kendo, it turned around and bowed formally towards him. "Hello, I'm Bora from Zaion corporations, pleased to make your acquaintance."

Anyone who heard would have gasped. Zaion corporations was a big name in the entertainment business, managing and housing some of the nation's top selling talents. It was The company to get into for any aspiring corporate entertainer, success a guarantee if one was contracted with them.

Looking closely, Bora scrutinized Kendo for a moment before taking a business card from its wallet. "You're an entertainer, aren't you?" It guessed, handing the card over to him. "I think you have potential. Come in for an audition anytime and just show my business card to the front desk."

The door chimes softly as it was opened once again and frazzled looking feline walked in. Despite looking quite immaculate, soft fur neatly brushed and outfit ironed to perfection, there was a slightly wild look behind those slim glasses that screamed of someone who needed a break. Glancing around, Bora clicked it's teeth when it saw that there were customers around and strode towards the front tension set in its shoulders. The moment Theo turned to greet it, Bora wordlessly slid a piece of paper and it's card over the counter with an apologetically grim look. The paper contained a truely staggering amount of different orders, ranging from teas to chocolate drinks. 12 drinks in total, almost half the menu.

Putting down the shell, Ascelin caught sight of an odd little thing moving in the water towards the kelp. Part of him desperately wanted to check it out but honestly, he could barely see in the horrifically bright environment and he could feel his pale red skin begin to blister under the sunlight. Best return to the depths.

With a flurry of bubbles, Ascelin dove back down into the deep trenches that he called home, leaving the bright world behind. No matter how much curiosity he held about the unknown, he didn't belong up there.
