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 know that the blue katana makes blue fire. Because of this, I'm pretty sure the green one is either poisoned or acid-related, because green doesn't relate to, say, electricity. Can you tell me if I'm right? Not necessarily which one. Just if I'm on the right path).


My bad I made a mistake on the story development. Reason is cause I had every choice already made. So I accidently copied and pasted the wrong one. The green lit one was for the green door. Your sword has a light blueish glow.

another blue katana?


Yes except it's not flames. You'll soon find out. Remember that the first one was a red door. RED=FIRE.

BLUE=?

I'm going to guess 2 things.
1: The blue katana has a Water/Ice element to it.
2: Sour is being lazy by commenting but not updating the game >:C

Yeah sour I know you're planning to kill me with MattEm and his katanas so I'd like to hurry and die.

Perhaps, seeing that the Fire Katana bathes itself in flames, could the Water/Ice katana be able to discharge water/ice on slash? In effect sending the water/ice at the target, allowing for a somewhat-ranged attack?

Well, I have five minutes, so I head towards the air drop. If they're about to start an arena fight, they're not going to kill players early.

~You head towards the air drop to figure out what's been sent to you. You open the crate and look inside:
*3 Rations
*4 Popper 'Nades
You notice some popper grenades in the crate. These popper grenades explode on impact once thrown. The timer above say there is only 2 minutes left. You can do what you want.

I take it back to the android.

~You head back to where the android was. As you approach the tree he was in earlier he comes out and asks you if you have his stuff. You hand it over to him and he says, ''Listen, there is a secret way into the supplies cache in the middle of this place you call the dome. If you want I'll show it to you.'' You could ignore him and continue on. As you look up, it's difficult to see the timer through the treetop, but you manage. It says there is only 8 minutes left. At 8 minutes the gates will drop and the supplies cache will be open to all. It could possibly turn into a bloodbath.

I run straight for that thing that fell.

~You head on over to the crate that dropped. You manage to get there rather quickly. You check the crate for supplies:
*8 Timer 'Nades
Timer 'Nades have a set time before they explode once they are set. They can be used as traps or just regular grenades. You can head on back to join up with pang and maybe even give him half of the grenades. You could also head the other way in search of some shelter of some sort.

While Tarren runs toward the object..I continue to the supplies

~You reach the intersection and look up at the timer. It says there is only 7 minutes left. You can wait out here for Tarren or look for a more approached position to go in the supplies cache and be more prepared to attack.

(I know but don't have a lot of bullets.)
[Wut. You have 4 full clips of ammo.]

I take out my gun and fire 3 bullets in it's head.

~As you attempt to shoot the beast and you succeed. You back away as it falls to the floor. You head on up climbing the vines on the wall. You look up and the timer is at 3 minutes. You are very close to the supplies cache at the intersection where the beam of light is. You could also go to the mountains.

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.

~You head back and from a distance you notice a shadow in the cabin. You head on over to check if it's your partner but are also prepared for a fight if needed. You hear something come from the cave right as your leaving. You remember that your sword also produces light!

i empty a water bottle by drinking the water, but i keep the bottle so i can re-fill it later, then i enter the jungle.

~You head on over to the jungle. You look up at the timer that is at 5 minutes. As you enter the jungle you notice animals immediately. You hope there aren't any dangerous ones. You can set camp in a tree or head on out to the beam of light. Setting camp here could mean survival but you'll eventually be brought out in some sort of way.

~You inspect the body and notice a deep wound on the right side of his neck. This is where the blood is from. It looks to be like either his neck was severely sliced and diced or someone chewed up his jugular vein, and he very quickly bled out. You hear a noise come from the direction of the caves.

ELIMINATION - THE PIT

To those who have been inactive and/or not posting often enough they are now to be executed in the pit or sent off into a disappearance. If you are going to have a break from the RPG you must let me know before hand, if you do not, you could die without warning.

------------------------------------
The following people have been KIA or are MIA.

+ Garriss - Aurum Lupus Rex

Has been killed. He was sent to the pit after trying to escape Ground Zero. He died a gruesome death, and is never to be heard from again.

His last words:

(Sorry, I'm late. Internet was down for 3 days.)

I go to the left.


+ PwnajLeadah981 - Darren Wright

Whereabouts unknown. Since the tournament has started there has been no sign of Darren. It's like he never even existed.

His last words:

sour, I'm in a different timezone and I can't post on weekdays.

------------------------------------

These losses won't be taken for granted, their families will be sent letters and a certain amount of cash for compensation. Good Luck and to all a Prosperous Journey!

Alright sasuke I'm going to need you to wait if possible. I have to get everyone on the same page before continuing since most people are off with the timer. I need everyone to be ready for the next, I guess you could say, ''Chapter'' for this.

Hope you understand, and hopefully it won't take too long.
