Hello, humans of the Hunger Games fandom! A friend of mine and I have decided to start a collaboration SYOT. I will be on the friend's case if he doesn't write enough, and hopefully, he will be on mine. We have a form written up (that totally wasn't copied and pasted from my account) for you to use, but we'll be pretty chill. For the time being, it is first-come, first-serve.
Name: If you only have a first name, it'll do. I might fill in the last name if you don't, but they might not get one. I take anything (I would literally accept ABCDEFGHIJK LMNO P) but I do prefer tributes that don't have accent marks over letters. It's annoying to get the accent mark in each POV, and I might remove the accent mark.
District: You can list more than one if you like, in order of priority. That way, if your slot is taken, you still get a District you want
Age: Pretty self-explanatory
Appearance: It can be a blurb or a paragraph, I don't care. There's a decent chance I'll hardly describe them. Fair warning.
Personality: This can also be a sentence or a three-page essay. I'll try to write it well.
Backstory: I ask for a bit of info, but you don't need tons. Two or three sentences would be great, but if you give me less I'll fill it in.
Family: You can say everything about each member, or just names and positions.
Reaped/Volunteered:
Reaction/Reason: Really pretty self-explanatory. Stoic tributes get unrealistic, and basic scared gets boring.
Reaping Scene: Reapings can get boring. If you don't want your tribute's first POV to be a Reaping, send in what you do want here. Note: I mean a daily life scene. If you ask for a train ride, their first scene will be a Reaping.
Reaping Outfit: You don't have to fill this in. If you don't, it's automatically a T-Shirt and jeans.
Token: It's optional, and I might not mention it, but if you don't put it in you almost certainly won't get one, unless I spontaneously feel like making one. (Example: I made Annika's token (from Rising to Victory) her sister's bracelet.)
Strengths: I don't care how many you have, but try not to be too crazy. That thirteen-year-old from 11 is not going to be buff and know how to use every weapon. Also, don't overlook simple things like being small so she can hide.
Weaknesses: You can have many or few, I don't mind. If you do stupid things like "He's too perfect!" I will have him spend so long trying to be perfect that he starves. Other than that, I try not to be too harsh.
Weapon of Choice: This isn't entirely necessary, but it's very useful, especially if your tribute makes it to the top three, when I sometimes start mass-sponsoring for interest purposes. If you don't list one, it will probably be spear or knife.
Where they go in the Training Center: They can go as many places as you want, but the more places they go the less they know about each thing. I don't mind jacks-of-all-trades, they just don't always win.
What they show the Gamemakers: I don't care how detailed or basic this is. "Throwing knives" would work, but so would "(x) throws twelve knives, getting two bulls-eyes, but missing the target entirely once. The Gamemakers 'ooh' and 'ahh.'"
Training Score: I take what's given to me. It doesn't really matter anyways, since you're the sponsors.
Capitol Scenes: No guarantee that it'll get written, but it might. This is just fun things the tributes can do for a nice break from training scenes.
Parade Outfit: Please list some idea. If you need I'll fill it in, but it will probably be stupid and crummy. (Ex: An electric toothbrush)
Interview Outfit: If you don't fill this one in, I will, but it'll be lame. Like a white dress. (I literally used a white dress in Rising to Victory)
Interview Angle: Please be creative. Not everyone is nice and innocent. I'll accept it, but it's way more fun to read someone who tries to be a clown
Bloodbath Plan:
Will they die in the Bloodbath?: Let's face it, some tributes have to die in the Bloodbath. If I don't get enough Bloodbaths, I'll choose some random ones.
Games Plan: Everyone running and hiding makes it boring. I'll take it, but I'll probably pick people off with mutts if that happens.
Other: Are they allergic to bananas? Do they like Persian cats more than sphynxes? Does the color yellow disgust them? This is where you can put random stuff like that. Again, it might not get written, but it might.
Preferred Death: The odds are your tribute won't win. This is pretty much a consolation prize if they don't.
Predicted Placement: It might not matter, but if you expect your tribute to get 13th, they're less likely to win. Also, really high predicted placements on weak tributes annoys me, which probably won't be the death of your tribute, but it could be a factor. (Ex: If LCS said Smudge was going to get first, I wouldn't like Smudge as much.)
Allying or No: If you want them to ally, you'll need to get both parties' permission, unless I partner people up myself. I generally don't, but sometimes it works.
Fight or Flight Instinct: Will they run from confrontation, or face it head on?
^One lovely form. We do have a world planned (it's just my world, but earlier. I am not creative), and we are anxious (or I am...) to get going!
