How strange. Kara expected him to either be terrified or angry by her words. While he was scared- which was expected given their situation. She hadn't expected him to be cracking jokes about his own death.

Ever so slightly, she smiles. "Don't sell yourself so short. After all, we are District One- the strongest District. Our presence alone should terrify the others, which is unfortunate... It's not fun fighting someone who has no will to fight." While her words sounded slightly encouraging in a dark way, her gaze remained hard, with zero ounce of sympathy.

How boring...

Every year the same thing happened- Kara was forced to waste her morning at the Reaping. Didn't these Capitol scum realize that she had better things to do than stand here? She watches as families clutch eachother nervously, not sharing the same feelings as them, the odds of her being picked were small and if she were chosen. No doubt she would win. She could take down a team by herself!

Her confidence only rises when a familiar name is called out. "Kara Rhys!" The announcer shouts. She grins and moves onstage. There wasn't a flicker of fear within her gaze. She would make her family proud! "You will be on team blue" the old announcer informs her.

She goes silent while waiting for the male tribute to be chosen. A shocked look appearing on her face when she realizes that they were on different teams. Did the Capitol really expect Districts to slaughter eachother?

She glances at the boy- Atticus Redding, with an amused expression. Whatever, you are going down. "Good luck" she whispers to Atticus venomously.

The heavy smell of cleaning supplies surrounds the air. Chains hold a man's wrists up as he slouches onto the ground, resting on his knees as he patiently awaits his fate. His eyes stare towards the ground. They were clouded, life-less, not a single thought moved through his head. Nearby sat heavy machinery. They were used to steal his blood, taking away the white blood cells before returning it to his body. He was important, he was immune to every germ or poison the capital could throw at him. He had the potential to create the base that would cure many diseases. Never once had they asked for his permission. District 8 would send more than textiles and uniforms to the Capitol. They would also send his blood. He believed in the the old saying: 'an eye for an eye.' He would get his revenge one day and they would pay in their own blood.

Darkened eyes look up to gaze at the door where a Peacekeeper emerges. He simply lifts up his face, not wanting to fight right now. Instead, he would save his strength. The Peacekeeper roughly shoves a mask onto his face before unchaining him. He collapse onto the floor and winces when the Peacekeeper lifts him up. His sore muscles screaming out in pain from the effort of moving. They give him a simple white shirt and jeans to wear, since he wasn't going to be picked, there was no effort in having him dress up. The shirt was too big for him, but he didn't care about that.

That's when they finally release him. He pauses to stare up at the sky, blinking from the harsh light. He knew the Peacekeepers wouldn't stray far, but they also wouldn't stay too close, they didn't want anyone to find out about their little project. He scoffs at this thought and continues forward towards the Reaping.

He wasn't paying attention to the announcer. Instead he stood with his head down, enjoying the feeling of the sun on his skin. He nearly jumps when he hears a gasp. He glances up, seeing a young boy be called. He knew the kid wouldn't survive. The kid looked terrified and when he limped fully into view, he saw a cast on the boy's leg and crutches under his frail arms. With a sigh he lifts a hand up, then winces when a hand snaps out and grabs his arm, tearing it back down before it could be spotted.

"I volunteer!" He shouts, his voice muffled by the mask. "I volunteer! I will take his place!" Slowly, heads turn at the sound of his muffled voice. The undercover woman standing next to him glares at him, but it was already too late.

Without them knowing, all these eyes protected him. He moves towards the stage and gazes at the announcer. "Maverick Ashenfall?" He questions. "Team red!" He declares. Oblivious, the crowd claps for the man that saved the kid. But his pride is shared by Lilith, who did the same for her sister. Maverick simply nods in greeting towards Lilith, but says nothing as he gazes at the crowd with the same life-less stare.

Maverick Ashenfall

~"Sanity is a madness put to good uses." (-George Santayana)~

Age (18+ only): 20

Gender: Male

Team: Red

District: 8

Appearance: Maverick has long lengths of unruly silver and electric blue hair. His eyes are mismatched from a freak accident. His eyes are green and grey, with his grey eye having slightly worse vision than his green one. Maverick is pretty scrawny, he almost looks sickly and weak

Personality: Maverick is extremely sarcastic and very laid back. Although he can be very harsh towards Capitol members and Peacekeepers, he doesn't really care about anyone else. He doesn't exactly want to win, but he also doesn't want to die. To him, the Hunger Games is like a vacation, he just wants to sleep and enjoy his mini vacation

Powers: Maverick is immune to all poisons, bacteria, fungi and viruses. In fact, the more lethal the germs and poisons, the more powerful it makes him-- not only can he tolerate it, but he can expell it towards his enemies as a dangerous gas- fortunately for his opponents, his tolerance of germs and poisons cushions the gas- so it's never immediately lethal, unless you stand in the gas for awhile. Still, at it's worse, the toxic gas can be incredibly painful, sometimes ripping off skin, sometimes leaving his target sick for days. Sometimes it can be harmless and be a simple smoke screen- but it's not a gamble you'll want to take

Abilities:
o Strengths: Maverick is well aware of the full extent of his power. There are lots of deadly fungi, bacteria, and poisons for him to find. So he constantly has access to his power

o Weaknesses: Maverick isn't too physically strong, nor is he the best fighter. He also has terrible survival instincts

Maverick's eyes widen at Farinna's question. He quickly stands up and pats his pockets, only to find that he didn't have his wallet with him. He smiles sheepishly and sits back down. "That's the least of my concerns right now. I don't even have my wallet with me. What about you guys? Do you have anything on you?"

Now that he thought about it, he didn't have his phone with him, or watch. What was happening? He would never leave his apartment without those three items.

-Then again, he would never wake up stranded in the desert with random strangers either. He bites the inside of his cheek, looking towards where the waitress disappeared off to. The service here was definitely unique...

Something was most certainly off about this place. Even the good hearted talk wasn't making Maverick feel better. He had simply frowned when the waitress knew that they were newcomers and offered a different menu. Now the invisible pie...

Whatever, he was a scientist. You can't discover the truth by shying away from it. "I'm having the tomato basil soup, with a grilled cheese and an ice water." It was most certainly an odd choice, considering how warm it was outside. In truth, Maverick just ordered the first item he saw. He was more focused on listening to the other's input, as well as finding out just why this whole situation felt so strange.

Right, Maverick didn't need to be told twice. He heads towards the town, trying to look around for signs as he walks. If he could just figure out what language the people spoke here-- or more, what they did speak, since this place seemed to be abandoned, then it could help narrow down their options on where they were. A real civilization had to be close. Right?

"Well-" he says while turning around to glance behind him as he spoke. "Do any of you see a tourist center?" He asks while lifting up the collar of his shirt to wipe away beads of sweat. They would need some water. Dehydration or heat stroke wouldn't help anyone right now. "Even a bar would be helpful. We could get some water there. Perhaps the cups will have the bar's name and logo in it."

It was finally time. With an annoyed huff, Dakota lifts herself off the bed and strolls out of the inn, moving towards a somewhat secluded area. It surprised Dakota that there wasn't a lot of people nearby. After all, she had a clear view of the Great Tree just ahead. She would imagine a sight such as this would make the shops in this area more popular. She stares at it, not even realizing that a man had approached her until he placed a hand onto her shoulder.

She reacts by instinct, grabbing his hand and twisting it painfully. He shouts out and fails to wiggle his hand free. When she recognizes the face, she releases him and watches him rub his wrist through the corner of her eye.

"Let's make this quick" Dakota says while showing him both the dagger and false eye. The man pales, which sends a wave of frustration through her. Had he really expected her to fail? Fortunately, he listens to her. He hands her her own bag, which'll be filled with her promised earnings before strolling away.

Dakota remains in her place, her head lowered slightly. She sighs and rests her head back against the wall. She was free. For a few months at least- it would be more, but she wasn't the best at saving money.

Instead of returning to the inn, she watches a strange group of people head towards the Great Tree. She frowns. They certainly seem like an odd group she thinks to herself while gazing at the one who was leading the charge. Fortunately for him, she doesn't step out of her spot to question them. Still, her gaze never leaves the passerbys.

Staying silent, Maverick takes a moment to consider the events that took place prior to him waking up. Well for starters, he had spent almost the whole night working in the lab. Working well past his allowed hours. He planned to use the excuse of him cleaning up the lab. That's when he was kicked out by the security guard who knew better.

What else? Ah, his friends had wanted to hang out with him, but he went to bed instead, anticipating a long day at the lab tomorrow- his instructor would've likely chewed him out for working without his supervision. It appeared that, that wouldn't happen today.

"Same" Maverick replies simply. Nothing else seemed important, the other events were his normal schedule. Fanning his face, he gestures towards the town with his head. "Why don't we talk over there? This sun is unbearable. Maybe we'll find a map, or something to direct us towards where we are."

The sound of nearby voices seeps into Maverick's dreams, which awakens him slightly. He frowns and groans. Rolling over to escape the voices. "Five more minutes" he mumbles while placing a hand over his face. But rather than feel a soft blanket against his cheek, he feels rough sand.

He sits up quickly and glances around, cursing to himself. "Alright guys" he says with his back turned to the ground. "Funny prank, I fall asleep and you somehow take my unconscious body to the desert, funny joke.." again he frowns. Nobody he recognized stepped out to laugh at him, assuring him that this was a prank.

He glances behind him now, staring at the small group. "Aw man, did your friends prank you too?" Maverick asks them with a chuckle. "That's hilarious." He stands up and stretches his sore muscles. "Man, sleeping on sand all night was a pain" he tells himself with a groan. He glances around again, looking slightly irritated. "Alright!" He calls out. "You can come out now! Come on guys, I have work to do today!" His delighted chuckle disappears when, yet again, nobody steps out to confirm his suspicions of this being a joke.

"... Interesting" Maverick whispers to himself. "I'm assuming you guys also have no idea where we are?" Maverick asks the group.

Kara Rhys

~"We need to be able to control- erm, guide the masses that can't control themselves" -(Brad McKinniss)~

Age (18+ only): 23

Gender: Female

Team: Blue

District: 1

Appearance: She has long lengths of fiery red hair that falls to her shoulders. Her hair has strands of pink and orange mixed within hair, although it's undeniably fiery red. She has dark green eyes on her oval shaped face. She stands at about 5'8 and is somewhat muscular

Personality: Incredibly cold and manipulative, as most Careers are. Her instincts have been sharpened and honed to make her the perfect killer. She never knew love and warmth growing up, so kindness catches her off guard. She usually see acts of kindness as a back handed trick

Powers: Kara has the ability to 'steal' someone's powers and use them as her own. She isn't able to permanently use their ability- she slowly loses the ability after a period of time- where the stolen ability will grow weaker and weaker until it fades away. She also has to take a drop of their blood to 'steal' their ability. It's bothersome unless she can take and store a vial of their blood- allowing her to use their ability for a significant amount of time

This power is weak by itself. But if she 'steals' two or more abilities, she can combine them together to create a lethal combination. As to not push herself to the point of death, Kara is only able to steal three abilities at any given time

Abilities:
o Strengths: Kara is obviously incredibly weak without an ability, so she learned how to fight in close combat situations. While she knows how to strike with lethal moves, lots of effort was put into how to launch an attack that would allow her to slice her opponent- as to take their blood and steal their ability as soon as possible. If needed, Kara can run away. She is quick and has pretty decent endurance

o Weaknesses: Without an ability, she is at a huge disadvantage. If she isn't able to steal someone's blood fast enough, she could easily be killed. She also hasn't had much practice with long ranged weapons. Catch her out in the open with a long ranged weapon or ability, and she will certainly perish

Palpad?: Yes please

Other: (More of a note to self)- if it's allowed in this RP, her choice of item that she is bringing to the games is a hair clip that has a pointed end and spiraled edges. Big surprise, it's made to stab or slice, the spiraled edges are also made to catch and hold blood. It won't do any real damage, but it will allow her to have easy access to blood

She had finally arrived. An eerie feeling seemed to fill the air as she took the first few steps into the kingdom. Lean was right- she noticed almost immediately that there weren't many guards... At least, compared to how many there were a week prior to her leaving Wildana. She glances around suspiciously, before deciding that this strange feeling was all in her head and continuing onward.

She moves towards an inn. Regretfully paying for a room while keeping an eye out the window. Soon, she would meet with her client. She had toyed around with her target for too long. The agreement was that four days after her departure, her client would remain near an agreed location for a few hours each day. If she didn't show up after four days, then her client could consider Dakota dead, or a runaway. If that happened, Dakota could potentially have her client's hired assassins track down her body.

"How bothersome" Dakota says with a groan as she moves towards her room. She had some time to kill before they'd meet. She had spent most of this week walking, all she wanted to do was sleep away her few months of freedom.

But rest doesn't come easy. Again, Dakota is hit with that strange feeling again- something horrible has occurred here! Call it killers intuition, or a cliché way of driving a plot, but she was certain that her gut feeling was right. "Hmmph, not my problem" Dakota tells herself as she shuts her eyes.

Even though she wasn't expecting an invitation, the rejection was oddly cutting. Dakota doesn't take it to heart though. The angelic-looking girl had a point, why join a cause she didn't exactly have an interest in? So this group is facing the Legion huh? I guess there are people crazy enough to face them.

She nods dismissively at Lean's words and turns towards Wildana. She wasn't exactly interested in joining the troops that resided in that kingdom. All she cared about was meeting with her client and enjoying her small vacation.

She couldn't help but feel envious of this group. They had a cause, a purpose, something to fight for. What did she have?

A few months of relaxation, that's what! Dakota thinks to herself with a bemused smile. She intended to enjoy it, nothing would stop her! But an uncanny sense of regret hits Dakota with each departing step.

"Hmmm" again, Dakota pauses to tap her chin. It was a silly question. Nobody would dare go against the Legion... Right? Dakota was confident in her abilities, but she never bit off more than she could chew. She would be lucky to land a single hit against the Legion before she ultimately perished. But if she had backup...

"It's possible" Dakota replies with a shrug. "Killing them would certainly be worth my time-" they do have quite the bounty. Dakota doesn't dare add that part though. She narrows her eyes. "What's with the sudden interest in the Saint Deity?"

Posted: Mon, 06/02/2023 18:29 (2 Years ago)
"The Saint Deity huh?" Nox taps her chin thoughtfully. "That's quite the loaded question. Some envy the Legion for having the courage and skill to capture and use her powers. Others think that she may be better dead, for having her alive can create situations like this-" Dakota sighs wistfully, already imagining how much money a kill like that could bring her. It would almost make the downfall of the kingdom worth it.

"Honestly, I pity her. She should be freed from the Legion's grasp and be allowed to live her own life." Dakota shrugs. "But I'm not foolish enough to do anything about it. So I'm just making the best out of this horrible situation" Dakota answers honestly.

"What's wrong with this wasteland? I think it's quite cozy. Don't you agree?" Dakota asks with a chuckle. "Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be many signs of life here, even from my friend. Oddly enough, you guys seem to be the only living things here other than me. Are you searching for something? Someone?" She turns her head slightly, looking genuinely intrigued by this group, despite the hostile situation.

Posted: Mon, 06/02/2023 16:48 (2 Years ago)
"What could be more important than staying alive?" Dakota asks. Tension builds on Dakota's muscles when Lean seems to 'teleport' around her. Even eyes as sharp as her's wasn't able to keep up with the movement. To her credit though, her face remains neutral while Lean inspects her. "Oh, well, that's probably because I'm not from around here" Dakota says with a smile, which of course, was hidden under her mask. She knew this would raise an immediate red flag, but she couldn't exactly come up with a decent lie on the fly.

"I was simply meeting with- an old friend... But enough about me. What brings you to a place like this? Are you also meeting with an old friend?" Dakota asks slowly.

A jester? Dakota wanted to be irritated. She was an assassin! And a powerful one at that! She was no jester! But she had been caught off guard, and couldn't help but laugh. If only they knew... She would humor them for now. Sometimes you have to give information to get information.

"My name is Nox," Dakota decides to give her fake name rather than her real name. It wouldn't hurt to be cautious. "As for my affiliation or goals-" she pauses and starts laughing again. "Well, let's just say that my goals are the same as yours- to survive by any means necessary." She had a feeling that she knew what Lean was searching for- any sign of her being apart of the Legion. "Let me assure you, I mean you no harm" she adds.
