Red - Hunger Games OCT by akitcougar Red's Audition - HG OCTAny other sane Capitol kid would be spending what could be their last days outside with friends and family, making sure there are good memories to last. Every other Capitol kid would be getting a crash course in survival skills, or fighting, or whatever. They’d be spending the perfect summer day in the cool beauty salon, making sure they look absolutely perfect if they’re chosen for the Games.
Red was pissing in a bottle in a stuffy, nearly unbearable attic, his eyes glued to a book about an ancient nation called Rome.
The attic was a funny thing, really. Bitterly cold in the winters, blazing hot in the summers, no one else would dare come up here. There was a pile of old children’s clothes in the corner, some dirty plates and a gallon jug of water next to it.  A few feet away was a leather messenger bag that held a journal, pens, and a little cash. In the opposite corner, where Red now stood, there was a collection of empty plastic bottles and a bucket.

Leonis Caldwell by UncommonlyNormal HungerGames-OCT Audition: Leonis Caldwell"Thanks, Etta!"
"You're welcome, Leo! Bye!"
Leonis Caldwell bolted from the courtyard, the heavy bag of food banging against the back of his legs. He'd gotten quite a stash this time, thanks to the other kids. He'd chosen wisely when he decided to live near the marketplace. Shopkeepers whose shops weren't destroyed all those years ago during the rebellion ended up richer than they could have imagined, and Leo was happy to benefit from their fortune.
The twelve-year old hurried out of sight down an alleyway, excited to look through the bag he'd gotten from some of his friends, children of the shopkeepers in the market. They would ask for seconds and thirds during meals, and steal them away to be given all together to their homeless friend. Of course, it wasn't that Leo didn't choose to be homeless, he merely didn't want to be sent to those horrendous orphanages, and his neighbors at his old house now knew that Mrs. Caldwell was no longer living there, so Leo's presence would be suspicio

Hunger Game OCT - Kylee Adali Perott by Pochikohaku HG-OCT : Kylee's Audition"This is ridiculous. What are the chances..." The voice was male, soft and deep, most likely speaking to himself. But that didn't matter to her. Talking helped. Talking was doing something. Talking meant that she could not be waiting.
"There are currently about 96 thousand people in the capital. Roughly 1/3 will be children. If you divide that by 3 again, you'll have a rough estimate of the 12-18 population. That's 1 out of 10.6 thousand individuals... or technically 24 out of 10.6 thousand, or 1 out of 500 people. That's how bad our luck is" 
The girl stood off to the side, speaking up for the first time since they were all united inside the mansion while they waited. The tension was killing her. Not literally, but figuratively. She watched the others, her heart firing off in a jack-rabbit of a pace. She could hardly believe this, could hardly believe what was happening. How could this be happening? What mob of twisted idiots -excuse her language- would force kids to go through s

Bethena Berkizer by Dandabug Bethena Berkizer - Audition
The entire course of Bethena Berkizer’s life had been determined by three simple words. From her startling entrance into the wretched world to her inevitable and welcome passing, along with however many days, months and years may fit between those two certain points of her existence. Three words that reached out and touched every waking moment of her life, forever tainting them with their implications. Three words that would be forever chained to Bethena, defining her in the eyes of the world with immediate and unforgiving clarity. Three words that would impose their haunting presence in Bethena Berkizer’s mind, body and soul for every single second of her miserable, pathetic life.
“Complications during childbirth.”
Those were the words printed on nearly every page contained in the vast tome of Bethena’s medical records. Her first breath of air had been exhaled in a scream of pain. Her first sensation was an agony that would never abandon her. She
Just because I'm legally dead doesn't mean you people can run my country.

President Imala has been... overthrown.

I'm back in charge, as I very well should be. First order of business: someone get me a body. Now.

Second order of business.

HOW DARE YOU ALL HOLD A CAPITOL GAMES. We're back to picking district tributes. Everyone who's already submitted a reference and audition, too bad- you have to remake everything.  The deadline is in three days.

That means the deadline is now Friday, April 8th.

And you have to submit in triplicate. That's THREE COPIES of the references and the auditions in THREE DAYS.

Got that?

Good.

Happy Hunger Games, all. :iconparziivale: Parziivale


Wow, that was weird. Dunno what that was all about. But anyways, your original host Jazz-Rhythm is back! Auditions are still ending on June 1st, and the premise is still the same. This was all just a dream.


Even though the Hunger Games have been abolished alongside the old regime, the country of Panem is still caught in a state of unrest. Tensions between the Capitolites and Districts remain high, with Capitolites demanding their former rights and government and District citizens wishing to silence them. The Capitolites have grown increasingly violent over the years, threatening to make Panem's government crumble once again through riots and rebellion. Ultimately, their angry protests have succeeded in claiming President Paylor's life.

Stepping up into the executive position is Paylor's vice president, Imala Valeria. In a desperate attempt to quell the rebellious Capitolites and maintain the Districts' power, a forgotten decree voted on by the surviving Victors from the Hunger Games is brought back. In honor of the previous president's passing, and in honor of the Victors' wishes, the ballot for one final Hunger Games, this time featuring the Capitol children instead of the District children, was reopened.

And the majority voted “yes”.




Capitol children between the ages of 12 and 18 are all eligible to be reaped as Tributes. The Reaping itself will be conducted in private with the names being hand picked by the Head Gamemaker. Once the Tributes are chosen, escorts will be sent out to find them and bring them to the president's mansion using whatever force they need. From there, they will be presented on television to their country.

There will be no parade. No training. No interviews. How the tributes are interrupted and abducted from their daily lives will be up to you.

Twenty-four children will go in. Only one will come out alive. How will your tribute survive?

Let the final Hunger Games begin.

What we will look for:

:bulletblack: Story. We'd like to see something more than just cut throat killing in your entries. Give us some well-paced character development, make us feel invested. Accurate representation of your opponent will also be taken into consideration. While there is no page limit for how long you can make your entry, we recommend against making your story unnecessarily long or drawn out. Length does not equal quality.

:bulletblack: Execution. Spellcheck your writing and make sure it follows proper grammar rules. When it comes to visual entries, your lines should be polished enough for us to discern what is happening. We're more likely to be entertained if your entries are readable and have good flow.

:bulletblack: Originality. This may be the Hunger Games, but it won't be your typical Hunger Games since it will not feature the District kids as tributes, so show us something different! Don't give us a rehash of the characters we've already seen in the books and movies.



General Rules

1. Don't be a dick. Respect your fellow judges and competitors. If you have beef with someone, take it outside of the OCT group, don't spoil the fun for everyone else. Causing drama will affect how we judge you.

2. Don't submit art that you don't have permission to use. You may commission someone else to draw a reference of your character, but please do not submit any pictures from The Hunger Games movie or fanart of the canon characters from the series. We are not a fan group, we are an original character tournament. If you steal art from another artist and we find out, we will automatically kick you from the group.

3. We allow gore and violence, but we have to forbid sexual themes such as explicit nudity since the majority of the characters in this tournament will be underage. Please consult with dA's ToS for further detail on what is allowed concerning children: FAQ #248: Are there restrictions on art using children or teenagers (fictional or otherwise)?

Character rules:
:bulletblack: Your characters must be human.
:bulletblack: Your characters cannot be canon characters from the books, and they cannot be related to any canon characters.
:bulletblack: Your tribute must be a Capitol citizen and not a District citizen. IF YOU GET THIS WRONG WE WILL NOT ACCEPT YOUR AUDITION.
:bulletblack: Don't godmode. Your character cannot have any special powers that a regular human doesn't have. Be realistic with their abilities.
:bulletblack: No Mary Sues either. Try to make your character balanced in their strengths and weaknesses.
:bulletblack: At the bare minimum, character references must show a full body image of your character. Personality, physical descriptions, and character background are also encouraged to be included.
