I already have a SYOT in the process, but I got some good ideas so I am going to be getting this one started and organized, but I won't be focusing on it until my other one is complete :3

I will be accepting tributes by PM ONLY so just PM me if you are interested in a spot :D

I am only allowing people to have one character each to participate in these Games unless you have a good idea for a pair of tributes ;D If you have an idea for a pairing of tributes just PM me to let me know!

Now without further ado here is the opening bit to these Games!

Lysander sat at his neatly organized desk with his hands folded gently against its surface. President Blackburn was a man who was well known for his lack of being able to portray the emotion of empathy. Many wondered how he was able to hold onto his position of power, but Lysander knew exactly how to twist and bend his words so the people of the Capitol would believe every word that slipped free from his lips. His mind worked in the darkest of ways, but all of his inner workings where carefully hidden beneath his surface. These twisted ways where brought to light in the most subtle of ways, as the Games truly were his playing field.

Pawns to be discarded as he pleased, was how he viewed every tribute that would partake in this form of sick entertainment. In his eyes it was not sick, but what the games were to him was the display of power at its finest. Lysander has always sought out power with much desire; it had become his own toxic addiction. No one was able to touch him and he would destroy lives as he pleased without being the one to directly blame. He was discreet in his ways; he always desired to be a Gamemaker, but his thirst for power propelled him forward to achieve something more, which is exactly what he had done. He reached for the silver tipped pen and held it tightly between his clutches. His mind was working in overdrive; plotting out ways to make these games the most intriguing yet. He wanted to leave the audience yearning for more; even after the arena was stained in crimson.

It was not consider normalcy for the president to play such a role in the games, but what his nation didn't know wouldn't kill them; at least it wouldn't kill each and every one of them. A Quell was still only a few years away, but Lysander desired for something more to be added to this year's games. He wanted them to be more than the previous year's games. A cruel smile tugged at his lips at the thought of watching those twenty three individuals who believed they held a chance of being bestowed with the honor of victor being destroyed one by one. Their ambitions to live become lost amongst the whispers of the wind. The previous year's games were gruesome and bloody in a way that Lysander had not paid witness to in years. Twisted were many of those tributes, but Lysander wouldn't want it any other way. Betrayal and bloodlust were the most intriguing of emotions in his eyes; both that were clearly displayed in that arena that many viewed as a living hell for all to see.

The pen slowly began to slide across the once flawless piece of paper; leaving words of madness in its wake. Deep in a slumber tinged sleep Lysander's darkest of thoughts brought forth a twisted idea that would dawn upon him the moment his eyes snapped open. In these games the tributes would be up against more than just each other. No longer would they be each other's only enemies. Time would no longer be on their side, as the minutes that led to midnight for many those minutes would be their last.

With not even the element of time on their side just how many tributes would now even stand the slightest of chances? The strong would fall and the weak would perish; Lysander was intent on watching each and every one of them burn into nothing but ash. The 123rd games held a dark promise to be the most horrific games to be seen in years. No one would be safe as the minutes to midnight drew closer.

Alright, so I did hint at a few ideas that will be displayed in these games and basically what shall happen is that every day that the tributes are in the arena an hour before midnight an announcement over the entire arena shall be made. This announcement will reveal a challenge of sorts that each tribute must complete if they want to survive. The last tribute to do so or the remaining tributes that can't complete what is asked of them before midnight will die in the most horrific of ways possible. That is all I am revealing ;D

Now submit some brilliant tributes for me and no Sues because I will not be accepting them unless I want to murder them off in some brutal way :3
