I KNOW THIS MIGHT BE A LONG READ BUT ITâLL BE WORTH IT!
Before you get into this RPG, which I promise you will enjoy, I got the idea of making this from several stuff. The Hunger Games inspired me the most since I love the books and the movie was great. I also got a little inspiration from The Maze Runner. There are several things that made me want to do this, but it actually was out of the blue, not going to lieâ¦
Anyways please read the story if you wish to participate, I know it may not be the best but it will make this RPG way better than you think. I approve of any constructive feedback if possible (On my profile) and if you donât like something just tell me. Good Luck!
STORY: Set in the year 2063, humans have always been the same, greedy and egotistical as usual, but one thing that truly hasn't changed is their need for entertainment. With so much stuff that used to be entertaining a few decades back seized to be that exactly, humans didn't know what exactly to be entertained by anymore. Now television is full of tournaments and races involving real people in real danger more than ever before, this gives a sense of thrill and excitement in the viewers and this also means big bucks for producers and directors. These shows aren't the casual low set contests you see, they involve killing to survive and fighting to the death. It kind of brings back the times for coliseums and gladiators if you think about it. It just goes to show that humans will always be the same, so much blood lust and the need for entertainment.
This brings me to a very special tournament called, ââGROUND ZEROââ. This tournament is considered to be one of the best and most watched of this century. It consists of survival mostly, but itâs all twisted. With monsters, obstacles and with even the players having to fear each other it is one of the most intense and suspenseful tournaments of all time. It is located on an island, location which is unknown, which is covered by a dome. This cannot be seen by satellite because all governments have blocked off its view to the public. This dome is used to create the biomes inside of this tournament; the players have to go through weather changes that can be disastrous, even tornadoes have been seen in this tournament. They also have to go through different terrains such as deserts, glaciers, mountains, etc.
GETTING STARTED: [Big AD on TV and Billboards] Hello, I am Albern, your host for this yearâs Ground Zero! This year since we are choosing the USA to be part of it, I have come to New York to find enlistees! If you wish to sign up you must travel to the Big Apple and go to the ''Core'', only a handful will be picked to partake in this yearâs Ground Zero so be sure to be thorough with your application seeing as how we will only be picking who we think will be best for this year. Good luck and to all a prosperous journey!
RULES:
*YOU MUST READ ALL THE RULES
*3 or 5 Groups, each group has 2 players. (So it will be 10 players max, but anyone can apply)
*Players are selected by how well they construct their application.
*Players will be put in randomly into the teams.
*Players who have died can participate in the next tournament with a new name but they have less possibility of getting in.
*Anyone can sign up but only a handful will be chosen. (Please do not be mad if you are not picked, I can only handle a certain amount of people, please understand that. Plus I want this to feel like an actual tournament and there will be several more tournaments, this is just the first.)
*This RPG is special; it actually consists of a group winning. (Currently there is no prize, I was thinking maybe something you could put on your profile or something, Iâll think of something.)
*Once the flame is lit you must start. (Basically itâs when I start it and tell people what to do and how to start it off.)
*Only players that are in the same group can talk to each other, but everyone may address to me. Now, how you will talk to your partner is up to you, I suggest not through here though.
*If in any way I catch you cheating, you and you alone will be disqualified and sent to the pit, where you will die a painful and agonizing death. Please do not cheat it could put your partner in a bad position and could cause him his death as well.
*Only I decide what happens to the group and players. You cannot say anything that will be in your favor, for example you cannot say: ââI walked forward and I jumped the gapââ The right way of putting it would be: ââI walked forward and I attempt to jump the gap.ââ Also please donât be dull (lack of creativity) and you must use proper grammar, punctuation and spelling if you wish to get into the Core.
*Groups do not decide in groups on most situations, I will most likely almost always split you up, the only reason you are in groups is so you do not kill each other. Oh that's another thing it is illegal to kill your partner, if you even try to do it I will immediately send you to the pit.
*IMPORTANT: The application sheet is not the same as the sheet you use in the actual RPG. There is only some stuff you use and some stuff will be added to the Character Sheet. I will instruct everyone on what to put.
*IMPORTANT: Any criticism should be posted onto my profile comments not here, this is to avoid any confusion and to not cause such a mess in this thread so to keep it clean and neat.
APPLICATION:
*Name: (Please make up a name, be creative)
*Age: (Between the ages of 18-25)
*Athletic Abilities: (You must choose 2 of these: Sprinter, Strength, Endurance, and Agile.) (This will basically be your only athletic abilities in the RPG. It will factor in on some situations.)
*Gender: (Male or Female, choose what you like, I hope itâs what you are in real life xD)
*Bio: (Basically your history before ââGround Zeroââ and why you wanted to enter. You may put what you wish here, just be realistic and remember to keep it in the time frame of the set year which is 2024. Do not put anything ridiculous or immature or you will not be accepted. You do not have to put anything here if you do not want to but you will have less chance of going to the Core. The more creative you are the better chance you have of getting into the Core.)
*Appearance: (This will not affect your possibility to enter but it adds to the story and gives a better image) [Eye Color] [Hair Color] [Skin Color] [Height] [Shape: I will pick your shape according to your athletic abilities so leave this blank.] (If you put anything ridiculous like green skin I will not let you participate.)
*Previous Contender: (If yes, which one, if no then just write no)
(Currently there are none since this is the first tournament, but there will be more. Just put no or your application could become null...)
ALMOST THERE:
All you have to do now is post the application, once I have a certain amount of people, which I will not say, I will close registration. Then I will announce when I will be starting and will message everyone on their profiles so they can get ready so please keep your comment section open, if you do not have it open I will not add you to the Core.
Please refrain from any immature and unrealistic stuff in your application cause that will result in you not being able to be put on the Core and possibly any future tournaments.
Last but not least, everyone have fun! I donât want complaining⦠Constructive criticism is fine but if it is anything but that I will send you to the pit and youâll die and be excluded from the rest of the tournament. Also, everyone will move as one, basically I mean that everyone has to enter their next move until I can give everyone the next order.
If this doesn't go well I probably wonât be making any other RPGâs so Iâll appreciate it if you guys try it out at least. Btw this is my second RPG ever so I need as much criticism possible, but only put criticism on my profile please.

I take out my knife and dodge the attack before he comes at me and strike him in the head.
I will be posting on later today. It's 8AM and I'm going to go do ''errands'' of sorts, and when I come back I'll try and get to this ASAP.
Thanks for waiting guys.
@ALL: I will now be using a dice for outcomes. I got the idea from another person with an RPG that I currently am participating in. And it seemed like a great idea. So instead of rounded off numbers they will be completely random and depend on situation on how high I will put the number.
Also with armor. Let's say you have full body light armor on. You will negate 30% of the original damage you should have taken. So I I roll a 100
you will only take 70 dmg instead of the initial 100. Obviously they won't be that high, but it's just an example.

I sneak behind the guy who is not in the line of sight of the others cover his mouth with my left hand and put my knife to his neck with the right. I start to talk is a quiet voice. "Give me what ever is in the chest and don't tell the others I took it and I'll let you live, but if you don't agree with my terms, your death will be quick. Ether way you slice it. I'm leave with that object."
~As you attempt to sneak up behind the guard you are successful. The guard tries to let out some shouts but cannot. You unfortunately have to dispose of him or he could give out your location. You slice his neck open and lay him on the floor quietly. You head into the cave and get the item from the chest which is wrapped in sort sort of material. You can go back to the android to give him his stuff or you can take it and head the other way.

I am NOT going into the jungle. Lots of unpleasant ways to die. I follow the light and look for more places to find chests.
"I need a long-range weapon or a shield, because I can't fight bullets with a sword. Two swords. This one has a green tint, but doesn't burn. Hopefully it is poisoned. Nothing is as convenient as a poisoned blade." I spin it in my hand, getting a feel for the weight and balance.
~You head on down to the beam of light. As you approach the intersection of the walls the path is blocked off. You look up at the timer and there is still 5 minutes left. As you sit there ready to enter, you hear a a distinctive noise in the sky. A plane! You look up and see a plane go passed you. Something was dropped from the plane. It landed a few 100 feet south of where you are.

Hmm. If I go to the center where the light is, I could find some good stuff. However...eh...nah...eh...I'll head to the caves. Best to avoid violence whenever possible. Of course, when you're in a fight you may as well enjoy FEASTING UPON YOUR ENEMY'S BLOOD AND FLESH, TEARING LIMB FROM LIMB-...so anyway, yeah I head to the caves.
~As you approach the caves you decide to enter the closest one nearest to you. You head on in, but it's extremely dark so you can barely see a thing. There's no way you could head down there without any light. If you just had something that could illuminate your path. You can head out of the cave and go north to the mountains or to the beam of light, or figure out a way to get the cave light up or get a lamp of some sort.

I head to the supplies because I'm a sprinter and if a player comes I can attempt to run.
~You head on out to the where the beam of light is directing. As you approach the walls at the intersection you hear a strange noise from above. It's a plane. You see something fall from the sky and land just east of your position, it seems to have landed in a jungle area, but it seems like a quick trip there. You look up at the timer and it says there is only 12 minutes left.

ATTENTION: I did not update yours because you're confused on whether you are in the dome or not. Listen, you are inside the dome. If you were outside the dome you would be in water, considering it's an island which is covered by the dome itself. Anyways please update your choice and I'll update it.

~As you head on through you notice the cabin with lights on and the door open, you immediately assume it's your partner so you head on through and check the cabin. Before you enter you look up at a timer on the dome that says 20 minutes are left. You ignore it not knowing what it is. As you enter the cabin you immediately notice a person on the ground lying in a puddle of his own blood. You have a limited amount of things you could do:
A. Inspect the body.
B. Check around the cabin for supplies
C. Head off to the caves.
You can do all of these, 2 or even 1 of them. But the more you do the more time you waste.

I take out my knife and dodge the attack before he comes at me and strike him in the head.
~You wait for it to get close and successfully dodge the beast. You then turn around, climb it's back and stab him in the head. It then turns around and shakes you off. It doesn't seem as if it did anything. He swings at you and get hit and get knocked down. You get back up and quickly plan your next move.
[15 HP lost from hit, 10% Reduced damage due to armor] [7 Hunger lost]
(Btw I used a die roller to make these choices, which will probably be used for most fights and situations. Btw.. You have a freaking gun!)

Ah, darn. Then again there could be good loot hidden in the caves. I head back out of the caves, walking towards the cabin first. My partner might be there. If he's there, I join up and lead towards the dome. If not, well, just wanna check.
Oh, sorry. By dome I mean the center, where the pillar of light and probably a huge cache of valuable supplies are.
ah, ok. and what happens when the door closed and i am stuck on the wrong side?
Basically it just meant you can't go back through that door. You are now outside of the maze you were in. Tell me what you want to do now?
