Okay, I understand, thanks for the reply. I will post a sheet for district 9 and 10 males if that is okay with you.

Lurking

That's great, I've put them both on reserve for you.

Welcome to the game. :-)

Lurking, I've changed username, here are the characters sheets for the characters:
I made a spreadsheet for stats since it helps me on making the sheet, this one: In case anyone would like to try it out
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Name:Kash Thompson
Gender:Male
Age:20
District:10
Sexual Orientation: Heteroflexible
On & Offs:  In site O&O Ons: Riding, wrestling, picking on others Offs: Weak willed people, the Games
Appearance: Heavy and muscular build, a bit taller than usual. He has green eyes and black hair on a tanned skin from working under the sun. He usually has some stubble as he doesn't like to shave daily. Usually wears a jacket and jeans over a t-shirt. He looks healthy overall, his father had arrangements with the peacekeepers to pass some of the livestock as diseased or substandard so it wasn't sent to the capitol.
Personality: Kash is stubborn and supplemented. Once he decided on an objective he does all he can to get it. He isn't afraid of shoving others out of his way if it is needed. He isn't the brightest of the bunch, but what he lacks in brain he compensates with cunning- He is good at making others see things his way, even by force if they aren't as quick to be convinced as he would like to.
History:
Kash grew up as the only child of one of the barn managers, so they were in a slightly better position than others. He worked with the animals since he was young and often went with his father to learn and be useful. His father is strict but fair with his employees and, while driving them to exhaustion, he didn't ask for more than a man could do. He met most of his friends as a child and got used to ordering them around, eventually intimidating some of them to get what he wanted. He liked how being in charge felt and became a bully, backed by his 'friends'. He saw one of the men that worked under his father be slaughtered in the games and has despised them since. He is afraid of going, but he will do what is needed to win. Even if it means getting a few of the weaker ones as meat shields. His work usually consisted of watching over the animals and moving them between feeding areas, when he wasn't in the slaughterhouse.

Name:Rye Giles
Gender:Male
Age:19
District:9
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
On & Offs: In site O&O Ons: Shy girls, exercise and running. Offs: Working under the sun, others taking tesserae, the Games
Appearance: He is somewhat thin, although there are some muscles from hard work in the fields under his skin. He has a lean build and average height, not really standing out from the bunch. Rye has greyish-brown eyes and brown hair.
Personality: He enjoys being outdoors and alone time, mostly due to having a large family. He is very protective of his family and friends and would stand up to anyone who tried to harm them. He tends to be somewhat gullible and might fall for a good sad story. Rye dislikes the game and considers them barbaric, he hates the reaping for being a morbid way preying on the weakest. He has practiced and trained himself in case he has to volunteer in place of one of his siblings.
History: Rye is the older of six, his parents didn't believe in birth control. They initially got by without much problems, but as the youngest ones got older it stopped being sufficient. He ended up taking extra shifts so no one required tesserae, his father became a drunkard that injured his back in a fight, so he couldn't provide for them. His mother did what she could to put food on the table and money for the rent. He eventually kicked the old man out when he was 15, not before he forced one of his brothers into getting supplies for him, several times. He was overly anxious of his name coming out in the Reaping and when his own name came out there was a mix of happiness and horror. His goal is to survive and return to his family, he'd hate to leave them alone in the condition they currently are.

So something I've noticed about this system, and it seems like most about half of the others have too, is that DEX INT builds crush any other setup you can go for. There are just so many more bonuses to having high DEX INT that its really hard to justify building anything else. Even the burly lumberjack type character favored DEX... >.>

Edit: Sorry, after rereading through the posted sheets it seems as if I over estimated the number of people who did this.

ChaNeko

Omigosh, Zelric, your spreadsheet is fantastic. Now, I haven't tested it by putting any of my characters' stats into it, but just the effort you went through to make it up is wonderful. Thank you for sharing it!

Zelric Miras

#110
A note, if you modify the fields under sum or total the formulae will be removed, so only the values under the stats and the value columns should be changed, unless I screwed up on one of the calculations and you noticed the error ^^;

The Dex+Int build would give best values for weapons and survival, but physical would suffer. I do see what you mean though, barring environmental obstacles it would be the best build with how the bonuses are calculated.

Thanks for pointing out you changed usernames, I would have gotten really confused and taken ages to work that one out if you hadn't. ::)

I'll look through your sheets just before I open this game up again, as my head can't quite get around the idea of having to work at the moment.

Edit: Sorry, after rereading through the posted sheets it seems as if I over estimated the number of people who did this.

If you look at it in black-and-white numbers, then yes, Int & Dex have a higher number of boosts to their names. However it is worth keeping in mind the quality of these boosts. For example the weapons you boost with dex are all half-damage weapons (apart from crossbow which is str & dex), so even if you have a high dex skill and high weapon ability they're not going to do as much damage as someone with a high str and high weapon skill. Con not only boosts the physical skills but also the health points, and if you ask me this has to be one the more important abilities in the game; it stands to reason the more hits you can take the longer your chances of survival.

Also don't forget about the cornucopia. In the books it's typically the strength based careers who manage to take control of the cornucopia, which not only has food but also shelter and a lot of items (like matches) that make the survival skills rather redundant. Plus if you have the str to kill other characters you can take items/food off of their corpse and use them yourself, which is an alternative to having to learn survival skills for yourself.

It depends how you intend to play the game. If you want to run and hide and try to out-live everyone else then yeah, Dex x Int is going to be your best bet. However in a head-to-head fight I would put my money on those with a high str and con. Surviving the elements will only get you so far, it's the other tributes you really need to be able to survive against.



This is probably a good time to mention to everyone something I was planning to say before I had to put the game on pause again. Your skill points really need to match your characters district/build/personality/history. For instance tributes from the lower districts will have little skill in weaponry unless that specific weapon is used regularly in their district (axes in district 7 for instance). Careers (district 1, 2 & 4) on the other hand would have been trained in a wide range of weapons from an early age, but would have neglected on survival skills due to their luxurious life (compared to, say, district 12 anyway). So please keep this in mind when creating your character's skills. When I go through all the sheets when I re-open the game I'll be checking to make sure the skills fit with the character and district. If anyone is finding their skills aren't matching up then they might need to think about changing the skills or changing the characters district/history/etc.

Name: Jace Macken
Gender: Male
Age: 18
District: 11
Sexual Orientation: Straight
On & Offs: https://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php?u=44753
Appearance: Lean frame, light-brown hair cut short, brown-hazel eyes, 5' 10", 150 lbs.
Personality: Very intuitive and intellectual. Jace does more observing than talking. Very hardworking with excellent will-power. Very practical and lives by common sense. He uses his intuition to weigh the odds of any situation and decide if it leans in his favor, and avoids situations which are a detriment to him at all costs. Jace understands the downside of loyalty, and that in the end, it's every man for himself. Self-preservation is his top priority.
History: Jace grew up a poor farmer in District 11. One of his first lessons was the value of hard work, and how a man must reap what he can in order to provide for himself and his family, before someone else takes away the opportunity. This lesson sunk in the hardest when he was 13 years old. His father had died in a tragic accident while out plowing the fields - somehow, the sharp end of the plow had ended up lodged in his abdomen, and it didn't take long for him to bleed out. When faced with the distribution of his father's property and assets, Jace's two older brothers squabbled and fought over the claiming to such an extent that they not only completely excluded their youngest sibling, who had worked hard beside them all those years, but they ended up lethally wounding each other in the public square, leaving Jace completely alone with only a tarnished reputation to remind him of the family he once had. His brothers and father dead, the family work fell solely on him, and so he took it upon himself to tend the fields and provide only for himself, a pattern of mind that he has kept ever since. If his own family would turn against him and each other, then who was there to depend on but yourself? This continued for five long years, when finally, at the 73rd annual hunger games, his name was called as tribute. He already had the right mindset to survive in an arena where it was every man for himself, and the skills to live off the land - so what would become of him? Only time would tell.

Hi there, I'm really interested in this kind of game and I would like to play the district 9 female with the track specialty, though I need to ask a question: do you have any kind of requirements as for the post frequency/responsiveness?

Hi Enthelya. Although we don't have a strict posting frequency requirement, once a week is always a good aiming point. It's not going to be a massively fast paced game, more of a long-term slower paced game I think.

If that posting rate works for you I'll put district 9 and track on reserve for you. ^.^
On Hiatus

Enthelya

Definitely!I just didn't want to embark myself in a game where everyone is posting tons of times per day while I can't play. :P Once a week or even more is doable for sure, thanks for the reservation. I will post my character in the next few days - since we're almost full I guess we are going to wait for someone to fill up the last available spots?
