Olivia “Liv” Tully
District Six: Female Tribute The Star-Crossed Rebel “What am I supposed to do? Heal them to death?” Sheet:Click me! Appearance Olivia stands at about 5'5" with a muscular build and has stocky arms and legs. She doesn't look like a fighter but instead she looks like someone who hasn't shied away from a good day's worth of work.
Her skin is a pale almost porcelain white, marred only by the occasional freckle, which always looks is sharp contrast to her flaming red hair. Her eyes are an icy blue and she keeps her hair long; well past her shoulders. Personality It’s really hard to get an honest read on Olivia sometimes. It’s not that she is dishonest and for the most part she is straightforward. Liv's also very self-aware and knows a great about how people operate. However, she fears some of the darker aspects of her personality so Olivia keep’s others at arm’s length. Though, this is not always the case, especially with people she deems to be "hers." She comes off as cold but Liv will defend a friend as if they were her blood, and will do whatever it takes to keep those she cares for from harm. Why she is in the Hunger Games She volunteers in place of her boyfriend’s youngest sister. History Olivia is the youngest child of Jonah and Mira Tully. Her family has deep ties to the Rebellion and have been a prominent force in the on-going Resistance Movement since the Dark Days came to an end, with her grandfather Seamus Riley being a key figure in the faction, and her brother, Paxton a fairly new initiate. Even Liv, herself has been known to do an occasional courier run, or assist her mother in medical procedures on resistance member. So she's learn when not ask questions and just listen.
Her father paid the ultimate sacrifice, dying publicly at the hands of a firing squad by on the orders of the Capitol for his work with the resistance movement. However, before he passed, Jonah trained them as he was trained to always been prepared for the worse. It was something that continued after his passing.
Though, Olivia thought her childhood was good, there was a lot of turmoil with her family. Especially, between her two older brothers, Paxton and Calum. It got worse when Calum became a peacekeeper and Paxton joined the resistance. Secrets- Not-So-Secret Boyfriend:
She’s been dating her childhood best friend, Caleb for over a year.
- Rebel Genes:
Her mother’s family was a big part of the Dark Days Rebellion. Her grandfather recruited her father and one of her brothers.
- A Rose By Any Other Name:
Her childhood nickname is Olive... or Ollie. Ollie, she's fine with. But it's Olive that she hates. Relationships with other characters - Seamus Riley:
Liv's grandfather. He was a low level soldier with the rebellion. After the Dark Days he kept on with the Resistance. Seamus has been trying to recruit Olivia since she was a kid. The closest he's gotten her to do was be a information runner for the Resistance Movement.
- Jonah Tully:
Liv's father. She doesn't really remember him. He was killed when she was so young. But her brother, Calum is supposed to be his mirror image. She was very fond of her father. She kept training after his death to honor his memory.
- Mira Tully:
Olivia's mother. Everyone says she looks just like her mother. Apparently acts like her too. The two are very close. She knew about Caleb and Liv before Olivia was even aware of her feelings.
- Calum Tully:
Calum is her eldest brother. He's also a peacekeeper. While she doesn't agree with his choice, Liv loves her brother. She is often his bridge to the family and plays the middle man when it comes to Calum and their brother Paxton during their many fights.
- Paxton Tully:
Paxton is Liv's other brother. When their father was killed, it was Paxton who stepped up. Liv and Paxton are closer and she is with her brother Calum.
- Caleb Hunnington :
Caleb is her soul mate (okay she has no way to prove that but there's no proof that he's not). They've known each other since they were small children. Caleb came up to her after her father was executed. He offered her his jacket and in response she clung to him like he was a life-raft and she was man drowning.
- Eliza Hunnington :
Eliza and Liv don't get along. If wouldn't upset Caleb she would have beat the snot out of Eliza a long time ago. She knows she doesn't approve of her relationship with Caleb and considers that insulting.
- Rebecca Hunnington :
Becca is the little sister Liv always wanted. They are very close. And is the only person besides Caleb that is not blood-related allowed to call her by her dreaded childhood nickname, "Olive."

Riven Tanzanite District One: Female Tribute The Anguished Fencer Sheet: Click me! Why she’s in the Hunger GamesRiven will volunteer for her closest friend, and because it’s her year to play the game. AppearanceImage above is pre-haircut Riven is could have been attractive, beautiful even. But when she lost interest in fencing as a sport, she lost interest in her appearance. Her long, brown hair was cut down to the bottom of her neck, and is tied back every in almost every circumstance. Her height and stocky build cause her to come across as intimidating, and her face is tainted by many battle scars. The most prominent is a painful looking gash down the side of her face, from just above her eyebrow to the corner of her mouth. She prides herself in her scars, always wanted people to see them. Riven’s entire stance shows that she knows she’s powerful, but can also make her look like a fool. Behind her back, people used to laugh at the way she would strut along the streets. Of course, Riven cares not for what people say about her. However, she is easily overestimated. Someone who looked into Riven’s emerald green eyes would see the pain and sorrow that lies beneath them, and that the brawn and the muscle is her way of dealing with the anguish in her past. Personality True to the meaning of her name, “to split or tear apart violently”, Riven brings havoc and destruction with every step. Her cutting and spiteful nature caused people to fear her, and only those would could match her strength would dare face her. Others became her friend simply to be assured of safety from her wrath. As a child, all she had ever wanted was to become an expert in the art of fencing, but both her father’s cruel and malicious ways and his mysterious murder caused her to become callous and unapproachable. Trust is not something that Riven sees as important; she trusts only herself. However, she is able to manipulate people through their fear or admiration of her strength. She constantly strives to impress people, and assumes that the only way of doing so is demonstrating her strength. Her voice is cold and piercing, and the kindest she will ever sound is sarcastic. However, she is a pained person, who finds it hard to deal with the mention of family, and will avoid the subject at all costs. History Riven was the first born child of Bounty and Leonidus Tanzanite, and had always been a daddy’s girl. Her father had been well trained in the art of fencing, and mentored his eldest daughter to follow in his footsteps. However, as she advanced in this skill, her father grew envious of her fast learning and became cruel and belittling towards her. He entered Riven into a fencing competition in order to make a fool of her, but she emerged victorious. With a win under her belt, Riven excelled further in the art of fencing.
Leonidus, wracked with guilt and envy towards his daughter, turned to drink. His own fencing skills became sloppy, and soon Riven sought a new, more appropriate trainer. She learned a variety of new techniques, and soon abandoned her foil and learned to wield a real sword. Her new tutor trained her with a variety of different weapons, but Riven always preferred swords and knives over archery or hand to hand combat.
Throughout his daughter’s success, Leonidus’ drinking became an addiction. He crawled the streets of District 1 late into the night, making a spectacle of himself. On more than one occasion, Riven’s mother was forced to collect her husband and withdraw back into the shelters of their home. But one night, the Peacekeepers of the District decided that enough was enough. Swiftly and silently, they disposed of him. It was classified as a random disappearance and nobody dared delve deeper into the cause of it.
Having always loved her father, regardless of his actions, Riven’s entire world came crashing down. She abandoned her training and resorted to street brawls with the other teens of the District. On more than one occasion, a friend of hers would recommend she volunteer for the Hunger Games that year. Riven didn’t want to; she knew that she had a fighting chance at winning given her experience with weaponry and fighting, but she didn’t feel that she should tempt fate.
However, life in District 1 became a bore. No one would fight her, and she didn’t want to take over her depressed mother’s jewellery manufacturing business. Riven left school and decided that she would pursue her training once again. She was going to volunteer for the Hunger Games in two years, unless she was chosen before then. The training was rigorous, but holding the hilt of a sword brought back the feeling of power that had been aching in her body for four years.
At the age of eighteen, Riven volunteers for the 27th Annual Hunger Games in place of her closest friend, Amethyst Padlock. Her hunger to kill was made stronger when she learned that her father had been murdered. She would take twenty three eyes and make the whole world blind.
Secrets- I know it was them.:
Riven will never tell a soul, but she knows it was the Capitol who killed her deadbeat father. She heard the whispers, the dirty looks she received from the people of her district. He had been an embarrassment and they had killed him. For that, they will pay. They will all pay.
- Nobody has lived until they love.:
There was one person Riven truly cared for, one boy who managed to capture her heart. His name was Blaize, and she loved him. They were paired together for sword training, and they began to meet in private. She had her first love with Blaize, and then their training was to kill the other first. In an epic battle of strength and will, Riven disarmed her lover. She watched the life flee from his eyes, and felt the blood with her own two hands. She has never allowed herself to love again.
Relationships- Bounty Tanzanite
Riven is everything that her mother isn’t. Bounty owns a jewelry store in the district, and lives a very easy life. The violence and brutality of the Games causes Bounty to become nauseous and ‘fall ill’, while Riven aims to make her Games as memorable as she can.
- Leonidus Tanzanite (Deceased)
Leonidus and Riven began very close, but he grew envious of her success in fencing, and treated her awfully. She didn’t care, he was her father and she loved him. After the Peacekeepers of the District murdered him, Riven became the cruel, loathing young woman that she is today.
- Joselynne Evers
Joselynne is Riven’s only friend, the only one who does not fear her, and that is because Joselynne was the only person that Riven ever allowed herself to open up to. Joselynne will be reaped, and Riven will volunteer in her friend’s place.

Zale Sewell District Four: Male Tribute The Fortuneteller's Son "Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us, and at the same time sings that we will never die? Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us? And Who holds the key that can set us free... "It's You. You have all the weapons you need. Now Fight!" Sheet:Click me! Why he is in the Twenty-Seventh Annual Hunger Games.Zale is a Career Tribute. He will be Volunteering for "The Battle" before the Capitol Representative even has a chance to pull a name from the bowl. AppearanceZale is a bit pale for someone from District 4, with blue eyes and dark hair. He's lithe and wiry, and where most Career Tributes tend to be stocky and muscular, Zale is built for grace rather than strength. PersonalityZale is, above all things, a Believer. Everything Zale believes, he believes with all his soul. The One. The Cards. His District...all of it are honored and truly Believed with a quiet fervor and a sureness of self that very few can duplicate. To even those of District 4--a District renown for it's Faith and it's Battle Ready Culture--Zale is an enigma.
He plays by his own rules, hears his own music, and has his own odd code of honor only he will ever understand. HistoryZale is the youngest son of one of the fishing families of District 4. The Sewell's have three children, and as his father puts it: The Heir, the Spare, and Zale.
Zale, who was born and raised for Battle.
Because that is what the Games are. A Battle. A War.. Zale has never in his life ever believed any different. To believe any different is to lie to yourself, and Zale has never lied to himself.
The way he figured, he owes himself that much.
The Sewells are fisher-people, but Zale has always taken after his mother. The story goes that his father and his mother were 'meant' for each other. So said The Cards, as she read them when his father passed by.
The rest of the family think it's a pretty story, and maybe it is, but that doesn't change the fact that he's inherited his mother's sort-of otherworldliness. Zale has spent many days learning the Fortune Telling Trade...when he wasn't learning to fish and swim and murder people in their sleep.
Because Zale knows.... ...He was raised for The War. Raised to maim and kill. Raised to be ruthless and somewhat detached.
Raised to die in the Games so that someone else's beloved child never has to.
Secrets- "I am afraid...":
He feels that it's a crisis of faith, but Zale is just a little afraid of death. The Cards have told him all he needs to know, and he doesn't fear the hour of his death, nor does he fear the inevitability of it.
He fears the method. He fears that the one who brings his death will not be quick nor will they be honorable. He fears that his death will be meaningless. That he'll just be another casualty in the Battle. Just another notch in the Capitol's proverbial belt.
He doesn't fear death. He fears being forgotten. Relationships with other characters- Riva
They have a connection. Perhaps not the 'connection' most people would assume. There is no great love affair here. They aren't soulmates or 'meant to be' or anything of the sort.
Besides, only one of them is going home, and the 'starcrossed love affair of the Arena' has been done already. Last year, in fact.
Zale and Riva, instead make a formidable-if-odd team. They're both Faithful. They're both brutal. They're both warriors.
And, in the end, they are both more than willing to be martyrs.
- The District 4 Victors
Text
- The Victors of the 25th Quarter Quell
He has mixed feelings about them. On one hand, they thought nothing of labeling their District in the same way 1 and 2 are labelled, and that angers him. In Zale's opinion, they don't glorify battle. They don't even worship it. Battle and War are necessary. Sad, but necessary, and their 'Career' status comes from the fact that their parents prepare them for survival. No child from District 4 goes into the Arena unprepared.
Not for slaughter. Not even for Death.
But for Battle. For War.
Zale, on the other hand, respects anyone who can remain faithful to what they believe and at the same time be victorious. Still, he will be wary of them, and any alliance they ask him for--if any--because to them--in his mind--, he is 'Just another Career'.
And that angers him.
- The Last 9 of the 26th Games
Honorable. They did District 4 an honor by remembering their Warriors in the proper way. Whoever wins, Zale is sure that the District will look on them as one of their own.
It took courage beyond reason to do what those 9 Tributes did for District 4, and it will never be forgotten. Not by Zale Sewell.
In the Arena, their Districts will be treated fairly and with respect. In life.
And in death. Playlist

Well now. I looked at this once before, but life got in the way of being able to guarantee that I could update regularly. This time will be different!
Could I lay claim to the District 3 male?
I'll admit that I've never used the WoD system before, but it's White Wolf, so I should pick it up pretty quickly.

Hello, Finaldisnerd. Yes, you can lay claim to the district 3 male. We are in the final days of the #26th Hunger Games. I expect we'll have two weeks of district play where you can play your district 3 male in District 3. Let me know if you have any questions!

I'm sure I'll have loads of questions, lol. I'll start by filling out character bio info and what I can figure out on the character sheet, and get back to you when that's settled.

Kristopher Linkletter - District 3 sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/24620Appearance18 year old male 5’8 (68 inches) 165 lbs Dirty blond hair (Dark enough to be considered brown) Hazel eyes Usually wears what would be considered “Tech crew” gear: Black slacks, black t-shirts, black shoes… All fairly non-descript. This will undoubtedly change to something a little more flashy for the Capital. BioIt’s all about the show… That’s Kristopher’s mantra. From a young age Kris learned that life in Panem was hard for most, and a lie for the rest. Those living in the poorer districts like 12, 11, and 3, all knew what it meant to be poor. Barely having enough food to survive, living in constant fear of the Games… all commonplace. Those in the Capital, and even the lapdog districts like 1, 2, and 4, on the other hand, celebrated the very things that the rest of us hated. They didn’t understand how terrible life truly was, because the Capital had them all believing their lies. This may not be news to anyone that Kris knew personally, but the knowledge could prove useful in the games. When Kris was only eight years old, his older sister Anne was selected during the reaping. She was only 12, just barely old enough to be chosen, and luck was not on her side. The family was devastated. Being forced to watch as she was paraded around like a hero, forced to watch as the Capital dressed her in a gaudy lighted dress, forced to watch as she lingered just a bit too long at the start, and forced to watch as a career from District One drove a sword through her chest. It’s all about the show… From that day, Kristopher decided he would train to be prepared. His family had just barely enough food to be able to ignore the tessarae, and the luck that Anne didn’t have seemed to have been saved for Kris. Year after year he would watch as friends would get called, knowing that one day it would be his turn. He would keep up his training, and if he never got called, he would volunteer himself. He needed a way to avenge his sister, and someone had to be called every year anyway, right? Being a career was technically not allowed, but then again, that never stopped them from happening. After all… It’s all about the show… Watching the games was a horror for most, but the Capitol made viewing mandatory, and if Kris was going to watch the games, he would use them as a training guide. The basics were obvious; survival, medicine, weapon use… But there was another aspect to the games that was often overlooked; the broadcast itself. Players in the games could receive gifts from viewers, provided they spent enough money to send the goods, which was often tagged with an extreme price. But it seemed to Kris that regardless of what district they were from, players were most often given gifts for making exciting moves. Players could do well by simply entertaining the viewers. It was sickening, but it was there none-the-less. It’s all about the show… His parents were both computer technicians, working to build electronics for the Capital. As such, Kris did have access to a single computer, which was used mostly for keeping all of the tech orders organized, but it did have one feature that proved to be invaluable to Kris; E-mail. It took him a while to find what he was looking for, but eventually he was successful; a pen-pal style relationship with a youth in the Capital. To this day, Kris doesn’t know this boy’s real name. For that matter, who knows how much of the information gathered is real at all? He just had to hope for the best. Having a friend in the Capital, one who he’s had communication with for seven years now, and one who knew that he would be entering the games this year, had to count for something. It’s all about the show… PersonalityOn the outside, Kris is friendly and outgoing, and does his best to use his charm and wit to win over potential friends and allies. He truly cares about others, and would go out of his way to help someone in need*, but he also knows how these games operate. There can be only one winner in these games, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that it’s him. Where the game is concerned, Kris is cold, calculating, and fueled by revenge. Everything he does in the arena is for the show, to try and win viewers over to his side. He may be genuine in his friendships, but he reserves the right to cut down anyone who gets in his way. Making friends in the training sessions will be his strongest weapon, combined with his acting and persuasion skills, and he might just be able to pull this off. *When he resolved to volunteer this year, he began telling those closest to him around town of his plan. He convinced a few others to max out their tesserae, knowing that he would be able to protect them from the reaping. Of course, not everyone believed that he would volunteer, and wouldn’t risk putting their names in at all, but he knew that at least a few families would have enough food this year. And if he won? Maybe he could do a little more.
