Name: Ivlivs Imperiosus
District: 5
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Hair looks: Short Brown
Skin color: White
Eye color: Light Blue
Height: 5'8
Normal clothes: Black shirt w. wrist length sleeves, ankle-length blue jeans, tight black beret
Interview clothes:
Chariot clothes: Roman-style toga, w. olive leave wreath on head
Arena clothes: Single-pocket Turtleneck w. 1/3 inch granite breastplate (I will take this out of it is against the rules), thick blue jeans, olive leave wreath. Turtleneck is painted to look like Lorica Segmentata.
Romantic puruits: Nothing. Ivlivs fights for himself, and his will to secede from Panem and create a Roman-style Republic.
Other: First of all, Ivlius is pronouced Julius. Second, he is not Roman per se, but has a great interest in the culture because he is directly decended from a Roman and his family cheresh it. However, Ivlius does not have a true family; he lives alone almost always, and survives based on hunting wild game through a hole in the fence ala Katniss and has survived like this from the time until he was 7. Ivlius has also trained his entire life, forgoing food and shelter to make himself mentally and physically stronger. He also is known for using stolen Capitol technology to hunt and threaten enemies in other districts. He lived in the wilderness from the time he was 12 to 14, hunting and killing Capitol personell and generally making life a nightmare for the Capitol. He also happens to fluently speak Latin.
So this is my power... but what is my purpose?

I forgot to say in my form, and since this isn't a RP, (a RP is where each person doe their own thing, right?) I'd like this to be known. Eclipse's original name is ... Death. She got that name when her mom dies when giving birth to her. Her dad got mad so... yeah that's what happened. Then he kills himself and she became a orphan. Later she renames herself.

Chapter 3
~My Very Horrible Mentor~
I sat in a couch waiting for my mentor, Guthrrey Hahmish. The District 12 boy sat in the couch a table-top away. Suddenly, a man with pumpkin orange hair with a yellow moustache and red eyebrows came in. “Someone’s colorful.” I said slyly. “Yes, the rainbow is wonderful out there, no?” the man asked. “Guthrrey Hahmish, your mentor. I see I have two young and strong fighters, no?” “No. Instead you have two people to try to keep alive.” I said firmly. “Oh, yeah! So help yourself to anything in the fridge and make sure you close the door on your way out.” He said. Nice mentor. I thought sarcastically. “Now, Tangy and what’s-your-name, this is what you should do.” He started. “Um it’s Taylor and-” I got cut off by my horrible mentor. “Whatever. Anyway, if you want to stay alive, make alliances. If they are troubling you, find a way to drive them into careers without being spotted by one. Do NOT have an alliance with the careers. They are untrustable. Now let’s talk arena. After the gong goes, dash for your supplies. Make your way as fast as you can away from the Cornucopia. Find water and shelter. Without those things, you’re as good as dead. You try to accidentally-on purpose get a weapon one from being attacked as long as you take a run for it after. Any questions? No? Good. Now have dinner if you want to live on this train.” Guthrrey said. I groaned. Nice advice. We had dinner with Cressida Mitchellson. She beamed proudly with our good manners. The boy tribute suddenly spit out a lamb bone and Cressida’s smile vanished. I ate my lamb stew carefully and trying not to wolf it down. I finished my stew and tried getting more but Cressida went on and on about manners that I dismissed myself by getting out of the room and going to mine. I changed from my reaping dress to something more comfortable. I lied down on my bed thinking about Guthrrey’s advice. But after a few hours, I realised none of these tips are useful until we find out about the arena we’re going into. We arrived at the Capitol when I was sleeping and someone carried me off to my room. I fell asleep after what seemed to be only five minutes, my eyes opened wide.

Yay, I'm sorry I left you guys hanging D: BTW, you know in real, yesterday I found out I was Irish :P :P :P :P

Austin Hale's Reaping:
It was just like a normal reaping. People in the square, peace keepers lining the narrow street, children huddled in nervous groups. Austin had seen it all before. He searched the crowd with his eyes and they almost imediatly fell on his younger sister Kaylie. She was only 12, but it was old enough for her name to be put in the bowl. Living in district 11 wasn't the best in the world. They were hungry most of the time and Kaylie's slight form showed it. Austin looked away quickly. As the usual ceremonies went on, just like they did every year, Austin's mind wandered. He couldn't help thinking about what would happen if his sister got picked. When Tina finally got to picking names he shook out of his thoughts.
Austin hardly noticed the girl who was picked. He was too relieved that his sister hadn't been. That relief was short lived. He had just given one of his winning smiles to Kaylie when he heard his name.
"Austin Hale"
He quickly looked at his mother, her mouth was open in shock and his father was no better. Kaylie collapsed in a heap of tears.
Slowly Austin walke up to the stage he shook hands with the girl tribute but didn't bother looking too closely, he was too tormented buy his thoughts.
When his family came to say goodbye, Kaylie wrapped her arms around him and cried hard.
"It's not fair! What will we do without you?"
"Don't worry about me, its you I'm worried about", Austin said. He had already had it figured out. Even though he was from district 11 didn't mean he wasn't good enough. He was going to try as hard as possible to win. For his parents. For District 12. For his friends. For Kaylie.
"I know that you will do your best, you always do" said his mother
Kaylie sat up, "you are good at combat, you used to practice with the other boys". It was true, Austin used to play fight with sticks he fashioned into staves. He could hit anything wiht a slingshot and was excelent in stealth. Maybe he did have a chance.
"This time I will change District 11, no more hopelessly scrawny tributes that don't stand a chance. If its a fight they want then I will fight until the end", he said hugging them tightly as the time ran out.
Kaylie's hopeful face was the last thing he saw before the door shut. "good bye" he whispered.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king

I just came back to this page for the first time. I'll make the male tribute from my district too.
Name: Jepson Cormac
District: 8
Age: 17
Gender: male
Hair looks: dark brown, short, neatly trimmed
Skin color: peach complexion
Eye color: dark grey eyes
Height: 6'5"
Normal clothes: khaki dress pants, a light blue button-up shirt, and black dress shoes
Interview clothes: a grey suit with a royal blue dress shirt under it, and black dress shoes
Chariot clothes: the latest fashion in the capital (because capital clothing is made in district 8)
Arena clothes: I'm not sure, you can decide
Romantic puruits: none
Other: is from a very well-off family, and his grandfather owns the largest coat factory in district 8. He has five older brothers (Caden,26, Bevan,23, Mabon,22, Dyson,20, and Anson,19) and a younger sister (Clancy,13).
Seraphina's Reaping POV
When I woke up on my first reaping day, it felt very much like every other day of my life. I changed quickly out of my threadbare nightgown into the only dress I owned, and tried to warm myself in the freezing cold of the bedroom I shared with 30 other twelve- and thirteen-year-olds. Mara, the girl I shared a bed with, was new to the orphanage. She still had nice clothes from her old life, but she shivered despite her dark blue wool dress and dark green coat.
The rest of the morning was only different from every other morning of our lives in that it was a bit more rushed. We prepared and ate our simple breakfast of porridge in half the normal time because we had to be at the reaping ceremony by 10 o'clock. Of course, the rest of the day would be rather different for us, and not necessarily in a bad way. Reaping Day was one of about seven days in the entire year we got off from our work sewing shirts and dresses, and it was one of two days during the year that we ate meat at dinner. The only downside was the reaping itself, and even that rarely affected any of us.
That's why I wasn't nervous at all. Mara, on the other hand, was as nervous as she could be. She was my responsibility until she caught on to life at the orphanage, so I did my best to comfort her as we walked with the other teenagers to the reaping. I was so occupied with calming her down that I hardly noticed anything that was going on around me, and then my attention was immediately jerked back to the ceremony.
It was that way you always look up immediately when you hear your name, even if you didn't think you were listening to the person who said it. Then I realized this was not a time I wanted to hear my name. I noticed that everyone's eyes were on me, and I slowly made my way toward the stage, hoping I didn't look like as big of an idiot as I felt like. I should have been terrified, but I only felt numbness. Somehow, this didn't seem that much worse than the way my life had always been.
When I got onto the stage, I tried to look brave, and I think I achieved a look of general uncaring. That time, I made sure to pay attention to the precedings, and it was worth it. The boy from our district was chosen, and I recognized him: he was the son of the manager of the factory I worked at in the afternoons. He was clearly much more upset than I was, but he was certainly doing his best to hide it, and he had his face under control by the time he reached the stage.
Jepson's Reaping POV
As I stood in the crowd of seventeen-year-old boys on Reaping Day, I wished I ahd been able to get more sleep the night before. Of course, I never slept well before this day, and I would make up for it that night, just like I always did. It was ridiculous for me to be so restless, anyway. I never had to take out tessarae; I wouldn't be chosen. I knew that. If I was worried about it, I would have taken my parents up on their offer to hire someone to take my place, the way they did for my younger sister.
Still, it made me uncomfortable. I hated seeing all of those kids forced to leave their families to die. It was awful, not for me, but still awful. I was thinking about that as the ceremony began. It was all I thought about as I listened to longwinded capital people give endless speeches about the origin and purpose of the hunger games. I was still thinking about it as the name of the female tribute was drawn.
"Seraphina Ellery!" Then there was a long pause. I figured the poor girl was too distraught to make her way to the stage. I remembered the girl last year who had been in tears even on the stage. She had been crying so loudly the male tribute didn't hear his name until it was called three times. Finally, I saw the girl leave the area for the twelve-year-olds. She was so young, a year younger than my sister Clancy. I thought for a minute about how horrible it would be if my sister had been chosen and there wasn't someone to take her place. Of course, that would never happen. Our parents paid someone to take her place if she was chosen, usually someone from a very poor family who was about to die anyway. The girl, Seraphina, didn't look so nervous, though. She seemed to be holding up very well, which is more than most people could do in her situation.
Finally, the ceremony moved on to drawing the male tribute. I looked around, hoping none of my friends had the misfortune to be chosen. They didn't.
"Jepson Cormac!" I almost fell back in shock. It had never even occured to me that I could be chosen. I could barely breathe as I made my way to the stage. I was shaking, but I managed to get a samll amount of control before I turned to face the crowd. I felt like my entire world had crashed to the ground as I looked out.

I was so occupied with calming her down that I hardly noticed anything that was going on around me, and then my attention was immediately jerked back to the ceremony.
It was that way you always look up immediately when you hear your name, even if you didn't think you were listening to the person who said it. Then I realized this was not a time I wanted to hear my name. I noticed that everyone's eyes were on me, and I slowly made my way toward the stage, hoping I didn't look like as big of an idiot as I felt like. I should have been terrified, but I only felt numbness. Somehow, this didn't seem that much worse than the way my life had always been.
When I got onto the stage, I tried to look brave, and I think I achieved a look of general uncaring. That time, I made sure to pay attention to the precedings, and it was worth it. The boy from our district was chosen, and I recognized him: he was the son of the manager of the factory I worked at in the afternoons. He was clearly much more upset than I was, but he was certainly doing his best to hide it, and he had his face under control by the time he reached the stage.
Jepson's Reaping POV
As I stood in the crowd of seventeen-year-old boys on Reaping Day, I wished I ahd been able to get more sleep the night before. Of course, I never slept well before this day, and I would make up for it that night, just like I always did. It was ridiculous for me to be so restless, anyway. I never had to take out tessarae; I wouldn't be chosen. I knew that. If I was worried about it, I would have taken my parents up on their offer to hire someone to take my place, the way they did for my younger sister.
Still, it made me uncomfortable. I hated seeing all of those kids forced to leave their families to die. It was awful, not for me, but still awful. I was thinking about that as the ceremony began. It was all I thought about as I listened to longwinded capital people give endless speeches about the origin and purpose of the hunger games. I was still thinking about it as the name of the female tribute was drawn.
"Seraphina Ellery!" Then there was a long pause. I figured the poor girl was too distraught to make her way to the stage. I remembered the girl last year who had been in tears even on the stage. She had been crying so loudly the male tribute didn't hear his name until it was called three times. Finally, I saw the girl leave the area for the twelve-year-olds. She was so young, a year younger than my sister Clancy. I thought for a minute about how horrible it would be if my sister had been chosen and there wasn't someone to take her place. Of course, that would never happen. Our parents paid someone to take her place if she was chosen, usually someone from a very poor family who was about to die anyway. The girl, Seraphina, didn't look so nervous, though. She seemed to be holding up very well, which is more than most people could do in her situation.
Finally, the ceremony moved on to drawing the male tribute. I looked around, hoping none of my friends had the misfortune to be chosen. They didn't.
"Jepson Cormac!" I almost fell back in shock. It had never even occured to me that I could be chosen. I could barely breathe as I made my way to the stage. I was shaking, but I managed to get a samll amount of control before I turned to face the crowd. I felt like my entire world had crashed to the ground as I looked out.
