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.

Bluerabbit, I'm your teammate...and I HATE GUNS. If you wanna know how to rip out your enemie's jugular and then bathe in their blood, here I am. Otherwise, no.
Hey, if I had a choice, I'd tear them apart. It says in my Strike or Stealth profile "..But despises guns for their over-powerness." Sadly, the only way to fight guards with guns, ...is with guns.
Guys, I don't think this is a place to discuss. Do it in each other's profile.
Bluerabbit, I'm your teammate...and I HATE GUNS.
Don't decide what other people can do or not...
Also, I'll update ASAP. I just got back home..
Just to be accurate, I didn't decide, I just warned him that i really dont like guns. But of course, if he finds me and asks me, I may as well teach him to help out my teammate.

Ow. Well, at least the wound's pretty minor. I take the man's knife (You can never have too many weapons!) and then search the cabin for some supplies, especially cloth to bandage the wound with. With just 10 HP i'd be wasting the med-pack.
~You search around the cabin:
*1 Ration
*2 Bandages
You use a bandage to cover up the wound and head on out. You can go to the caves or head on over to the beam of light coming from the dome. Here is where the gates leading to the players intersect and many supplies are found here once the gates drop. If there are other people here it could turn into a blood bath.

I turn to Tarren and quickly tell him a strategy to get around the guy so one of us can pull the lever:
First..we both dart towards him..then, at about 5-7 feet from him, we both dart in opposite directions. After doing so...I charge towards him first..then have Tarren follow suit shorty after I do so. When Tarren gets close enough, I dart towards the lever to pull it, having him slam himself into the guys back in hopes of at least distracting him from myself
A simple distraction/bait/confusion stratagem..hopefully it work
~As you both dart at him he swings his sword but you both manage to get under it and dodge it. You approach the lever but Tarren get's a swing to the face and get knocked to the floor. You pull the lever and try and help Tarren up. The guy then swings his sword again slicing your arm. It's only a minor wound. You pick up Terran and go down the stairs as you hear the gates open. You head outside and right at the exit on the floor there are crates with a sign saying, ''SUPPLIES''. You see a beam of light from the dome, this is the center of the dome where supplies are held, and where blood baths can come forth if there are various players ready to get the supplies for themselves. There is a snowy mountain region to the north.

I do what pang said, cause I said he can.
~As you both dart at him he swings his sword but you both manage to get under it and dodge it. You try and distract the man so pang can pull the lever. As you look up you recieve a big left swing to the face and get knocked to the floor. pan then comes to help you up and in the process he gets his arm sliced up. It's only a minor wound. pang picks you up and you both go down the stairs as you hear the gates open. You head outside and right at the exit on the floor there are crates with a sign saying, ''SUPPLIES''. You see the man on the platform yelling in anger, it appears as if he was about to jump. You see a beam of light from the dome, this is the center of the dome where supplies are held, and where blood baths can come forth if there are various players ready to get the supplies for themselves. There is a snowy mountain region to the north.

"Sure, I guess." I then head is the direction he indicated.
~You head on out to fulfill the quest given to you. As you approach the camp where his ''valuables'' are supposed to be, you notice some people there, with weapons. They seem like bandits of some sort. They all have handguns holstered and plasma blades on there back. There are 4 bandits. One is sitting next to a logfire. 2 are standing next to a tent facing eachother having conversation. The last one seems to be guarding something, he isn't in any line of sight of the others though.
(Be careful what you decide here. Most of it will be left up to luck, but some is left up to complete logic.)

I go to the dome.
~You head on out to where the beam of light is. On the way there it should take about 15 minutes and you should encounter some other stuff. You keep heading forward when suddenly you fall into a pit. Seemed like some type of trap. Out from the shadows a big fat android looking type thing comes out. It has 2 robotic types eyes that are completely dark. It also seems as if it was... drooling. It has some spikes where the fleshy parts of his body are and one of the arms on the creature has a big sharp claw. It's eyes turn bloodshot red before he starts charging at you.

i will put the armour and gloves and go back. i will look for my teammate so he can show me how to use a gun effectively.
~Unfortunately you have no idea where he is. But your instincts tell you that you should go west so you do. As you're heading over there you see a beam of light coming from the dome. You have no idea to what this is but you assume that Savell should know. You approach a rocky area with and entrance that has 2 big oak tress on the sides. You can see caves in the distance to the west and a lake to the east with a cabin on the side.

i get besides the frigde and open it so i do not get hit if in case it is a trap. if nothing happens after some minutes then i peek into it to see what awaits me inside of it. also, i ready my dagger before i open the fridge in case i have to defend myself.
~As you open the fridge ready for anything.. There is a few supplies inside and nothing happened. Supplies:
*2 Cooked Fish
*1 Big water bottle
*2 Painkillers
You take everything and head on through the door. As you head on out you are blinded by a light. As your eyes focus in, you notice you are now outside. You look up and see a beam of light come down from the dome. From watching the show you know that this is where supplies are held and where most players go to before the gates drop. Once the gates drop it becomes a bloodbath. You look up at the timer on the dome, and it says there is 15 minutes left. There is a jungle just north of you as well.

First, I take a drink of water to refresh my Thirst. Then I go for the hold-your-breath technique and swim down.
~You take in a deep breath and head on down. You open your eyes and you can see there is a tunnel. You quickly head through it. As you are struggling to hold your breath you see a light above. You start swimming up desperately needing air. You break the surface of the water and you gasp for a lung full of air. You get up on land and catch your breath. You notice a chest. You go ahead and open the chest. It s yet another katana. On the hilt it says, ''Konoyo no burÄ"do'' This one does not have a switch on it, so you assume it's a normal blade, although it has a faint green glow around the edges of the blade. As you take it a path opens up in front of you. A tunnel of some sort. You head on through the tunnel and notice a light at the end. As you reach the end you are blinded by light. Your eyes focus in and you notice you are now outside. You look at the timer on the dome and it says 10 minutes. You see the beam of light from the dome that leads to supplies and the infamous battleground where most likely the first death will occur. You see a jungle to the west of the tunnel you came out of but it goes the opposite direction of the beam of light.

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."

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.

I trail behind Tarren keeping a look out for any enemies
Can you guys clarify which supplies you are talking about? Just so I don't mess it up.
Is it the one outside the exit? Or the supplies where the beam of light is leading to?
