Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the 50th Hunger Games. And yes, that means it's the Quarter Quell, and no, unfortunately Haymitch does not make an appearance.

Additional Information:

All ages and districts please. For this Quarter Quell there will not be double the contestants, as it was in the books, so only 24 will be entered. Also please enter some fun ones as well, such as dumb, conceited, or over confident characters. I'm sorry but if there are too many nice, smart ones not many will make it into the competition and I will have to make up characters on my own. Also be descriptive. I am more likely to pick characters with more depth. Thanks to mjeleon for giving me the inspiration. Also, I already have made a character – Female, District 4. However if I see another female in District 4 that I really like I will move my character to a different District. Be warned that if too many are in one District I may have to move your character to a different district. If so, I will PM you and ask if this is alright. Also later on in the story I may need to ask more questions about your character, so pay attention to this story! If you do not answer the question within 3 days of me asking I may have to make up the answer based on their personality. Have fun!

Oh yes, and one more thing.

Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds ever be in your favor… ;)

P.S. Just so you know this is the character I will submit:

Name- Zianna Seaforth

Gender - Girl

Age - 14

District - 4

Appearance - Tall girl with shoulder length slightly wavy ashy gray hair. Has dark blue eyes, and depending on her mood can turn almost black, and usually wears a serious or far-off expression. She also has a muscular frame suited to a swimmer, with broad shoulders and strong legs. Hard, sharp nails, and a slightly sharp appearance to the canines of her teeth. Long tapering fingers.

Personality - Stunningly intelligent, although she tends to downplay everything she does. Before the games she would spend a lot of time alone usually writing poetry or just looking out at the sea. She has musical talent yet she has little time to play any. Without ways to express herself through art she isolates herself. The type to bottle things up, anything that angers her could really set her off. Her emotions are like a time-bomb. Often her face is a mask, showing nothing, but the inner turmoil makes her unstable. However, when someone takes the time to talk to her it relieves the dangerously pent up feelings and can keep her balanced. She also has a sarcastic and pessimistic outlook and hates anything girly. Her eyesight isn't as sharp as others due to years of swimming in the salty water with eyes open, but her hearing is super sharp and she is extremely cautious. Also because of childhood bullying she is very hesitant to trust. She believes that trust only leaves room for betrayal. Strong and silent she is one to think about.

Talents/Skills: Knot tying is a specialty with her long careful fingers and her upbringing in District 4. Also she isn't bad with hand to hand combat and extremely talented with swords. However, with a lack of one she is able to make a bow- a long wooden staff that is a very useful weapon if you know how to use it, her signature move with this weapon is to crush the windpipe. Her strong legs enable her to sprint at a moments notice although long distance running is not her specialty. But her pain tolerance and endurance are high and she needs little resting time. She is fairly ok at most of the trial areas in the practice arena before the games begin.

Weaknesses - Knife throwing, spear throwing, and archery are difficult with her near-sightedness.

Interview Persona - Artistic, Poetic, "Deep" Captures imagination of the audience.

Costume for the Grand Entrance - Dark blue, skin tight jumpsuit that shimmers when she moves. Closer examination shows a scale pattern on the suit. Small webs can be seen between her fingers. Blue streaks are in her hair and a silvery tiara rests on her head. Although she protested at the tiara the shark-like grin she wears with it cancels it out.

Other Information - Strongly suggest pairing her up with someone. Otherwise she'll keep to herself keeping hidden in her surroundings. Her whole life she had perfected into fading into the background. When picked for the games she merely shrugs and no one really knows who she is. Preferably the boy from District 4 should be a Career - huge, monstrous, and totally alienated by Zianna. Or else let their be animosity between them.

ANNOUNCEMENT! Today (1/27/10) was supposed to be the closing of the entries. However since I only mentioned it to some of you I think it would be fair to keep it open one more day. If you haven't submitted your character do it now! Tomorrow evening this will be officially closed I will choose the contestants. I will try to make the decisions quick enough so I can post the first chapter of the story this time next week, but no promises.

CLOSED! This Entry Process is now officially closed. Thank you for entering! Next Tuesday I expect to have chosen the contestants and I will put up their descriptions for you all. Shortly after that the story will begin. Thanks again.
