The brisk wind was cold against her face, chapping her already dry lips. She sat up, wincing as her sides screamed in pain. She closed her eyes, allowing the pain to fade before she took in her surroundings. Looking around she realized she had no idea where she was. What surrounded her were desolate buildings where embers still flickered with burning life. Vehicles abandoned and streets without signs of life. What happened? She thought. The last she had remembered she had fell asleep in the Capitol apartment. Were they overtaken in her sleep? No. No way would she have slept through such a thing. This still begged the question of where she was at the moment. Then it hit her. What if she was captured? What if she was placed back into the games to show the people of Panem how to clip the wings of a mockingjay? Her heart raced and hands went clammy as she realized she still had her bow. She took it in her grasp and it hummed to her touch. She drew back the bowstring and took a cautious step forward. Meanwhile, in the shadows of the rubble a figure stood. His chiseled frame exposed by his ragged clothing. He watched the young girl with her bow drawn run for cover, checking every corner. He looked to the sky and watched the still sun, it wasn't real. Then again, he knew this wasn't real for a while now. The only question was how to escape. However the means, and he knew this girl was the key. He watched her intently as she broke down a door to what was left of an apartment. He knew what he needed to do. The night came dramatically, but Riddick had no need for the sparkling lights of the sky, for he was a creature of the night. He moved silently across the rooftops before landing above his prey. Slipping in through a window, he made his descent through the complex. He walked the ground level corridor before bending down to observe the razor thin wire that lay before his feet. He pulled his makeshift blade and took a step back into the shadows. Katniss held her bow at the ready. She knew whatever was out there was coming for her, no doubt waiting for the advantage of the night. The day was too silent for comfort. Every squeak or rustling from the winds sounded like an enemy coming in for the kill. So she waited, keeping her hands busy with traps of all sorts. "Your traps are amateur." She released an arrow into the direction of the voice. It flew into the darkness without a sound. Without hesitation she flung herself through the window, rolling as she hit the ground and running. Riddick strolled to the window as he watched the Katniss run, now with a pack full of supplies. "Let the games begin." He said with a smirk.

Each and every year in the nation of Panem, an annual tournament of survival is held. This tournament, known as the Hunger Games, pits 24 tributes, two from each of Panem's 12 districts, against each other in a battle of wits, strength, and skill. The goal: survive. The prize: freedom. That is the way it's always been in the city of Panem. After the great war, North America was left in ruins. Through struggle, it was rebuilt, and that is where Panem comes from. It started out weak; understandable given the circumstances. But, as time past, the nation grew exponentially, to the point where it was virtually unstoppable. The corrupt officials at the head of the nation waged war on the planet, and, amazingly enough, won. The city of Panem is no more. It is no longer a nation. Panem, is now all there is. We live on Panem. Panem is a place once known as Earth. Hey all this is a Hunger Games RP I've decided to start. I have a little experience on other sites, but not really that much, so if anyone is interested I'd actually be willing to hand over the reigns for this thing once we get started. For now though, let's just focus on the first thing that needs done. I trust you're all familiar with the Hunger Games? Well, I figured, what if we had the Hunger Games... but with comic book characters? That's why Panem took over the world in the set-up, the nation of Khazan is also part of the world so, go figure, superhero city now has it's own Hunger Games First things first, this is the sign up sheet. If anyone wants to play, you'll first need a character. Be warned that you will be sent in with nothing but the clothes on your back, no fancy gadgets or anything, so someone like Iron Man might not be the best choice (unless Tony is actually a master martial artist and I just never knew ) Name: Age: Picture: Abilities: Bio: This is the basic starter sheet we'll be using. It's self explanitory, so go ahead and choose your desired character. The power limit will be nobody with physical capabilities above Deathstroke. I'll probably be joining to, once we get first blood. In the meantime, just get a character, and ask any questions you'd like. http://en.wikipedia....he_Hunger_Games
