All the slots have been filled - thank you for signing up! I'll try to work on the actual Hunger Games bit and hopefully have it out by the end of the week. Thanks again, and-

Um. Hold up, I need a good one-liner to close off. Hmm.

Oh! May the odds ever be in your favor! That's a good one.

Kokoro (こころ): Four feet tall, extremely muscular, intelligent and analytical but can appear somewhat detached from reality. (She claims to be emotionally distancing herself to protect herself from badfic.) Along with her partner Hiromi, she protects the long-suffering childrens' cartoons from the horrors of weird Youtube clickbait for kids. I think. The department creation proposal still has to go through Personell...

Home continuum: My Hero Academia. As a result...

Quirk: Flatland - she can decrease the local space-time curvature, allowing her to weaken gravity and weather the effects of spacetime distortions better than most.

Weapon of choice: Her fists usually suffice.

Hiromi: Partner of Kokoro. Is a human-shaped cyborg called a Humagear, originally created to work in a processing plant before reaching singularity, becoming sentient, and attempting to start a union. Was put down for this act of malfunctioning, and luckily got spirited away to the PPC before the setting's villains could get their hands on him. Unlike most Humagears, he does not have a humanlike outer layer as a political statement -- he also had his hands modified to give his fingers three joints instead of two.

Home continuum: Kamen Rider Zero-One. Can't tap into any of that setting's power system, though, as IIRC it depends on some satellites that he's too far away from. Has tried to slap together a way to use it anyway, to negative results.

Weapon of choice: Spears, then swords. Terrible ranged fighter.

Kaitlyn Jackson, Floaters / DCPS. Human, but gets very excited if people mistake her for a Hobbit. Not really much of a one for weapons.

"It's back! So I was in the last, um, three of these? I did really well my first time out, but the other two have been kind of, ehhhh, so I'd really like to have a good game this time!"

Holo-Acacia, a hologram of Acacia Byrd originally created for the 2nd Games, and reappearing in the 4th and 5th. After the last games, she ran off into the HQ networks and is only reappearing now. Pretty much acts like Acacia.

"Yeah, he said I should get out a bit more, so I thought I'd jump back into the Arena... he who? None of your business."

hS

Name: Boadicea (I think that's how it's spelled?)

Species: Terrarian female

Preferred weapon: Anything she can get her hands on

Why she's here: It's like in Terraria. Lots of fighting. It's like home. She may not stay dead if she gets killed on account of being a videogame character, although someone may have put her in a reality room and gotten rid of this ability.

Thirteen out of the twenty-four (or forty-eight, but that seems a bit far fetched at this point) slots have been taken, leaving at least eleven competitors unaccounted for!

Honestly I don't know whether I should've waited for this thread to drop down further so I could put the sign-ups as its own independent and more noticeable thing, but hey. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that. Anyway, let's see how this turns out!

-OrangeFox

Edit: ...Eleven, not nine. Sorry.

I want to give priority to people who haven't had characters in one of these before, but if you end up needing to fill spaces, you can use Caprice (average World One 20-something Latina woman) and Shimon (evolved Razielim male from a Legacy of Kain AU, stupidly tall and blue with black hair, nails, and wing feathers). Department of Floaters, if it matters.

Kkukttak

Species: Kif (Chanur verse) - broadly, thin, rat-like, two sets of teeth
Gender: Male
Former occupation: Background pirate #4
Department: Crossovers

Why he's here: What, you think I'd pass up an excuse to engage in conniving backstabbing and occasionally stab someone? That's pretty much my thing, historically. And FicPsych can't object to this ... right?

[Note: the multiple daggers Kkukttak had concealed on his person on the way into the Games may or may not have made it through]

Farah Tahar

Species: Hani (Chanur verse) - think lion-people
Gender: Female
Former occupation: Junior crew on a merchant spaceship
Department: Crossovers

Why she's here: So, for one thing, maybe I'll make some new friends! I also need to practice actually fighting, since it comes up in crossovers just often enough that I keep getting caught out by it. But mostly, someone needs to keep an eye on Kkukttak.

Taq

Species: Orc (Lord of the Rings)
Gender: Male
Department: Mary Sues
Former occupation: Member of a scouting party going after a Sue

Why he's here: Fightin's fun! [grins, putting a hand on the hilt of his sword]

Interviewer: [backs away slowly, moving the camera with them]

An' no one actually gets hurt 'ere! Heck, I think I've got a shot 'ere .

Aulhar Tauran

Species: Hani (Chanur verse)
Gender: Male
Former occupation: Lord of the manor, more or less
Department: Finance

Why he's here: Turns out letting it slip that you've fought before and not being ex-Action gets a solid chunk the gods-rotted division at your door talking you into "providing representation for Finance". I don't think I'll do too well at this whole free-for-all murder spree, but I did set up the betting pool, so, even if I lose, I win.

Hope no one minds that I’m putting a Google Docs link here. Either way, I’m hoping my good kitty girl gets far.

Name: Rebecca Buch

Gender: female

species: human

preferred weapon: bow and arrows

reason why she's here: she is not sure how she got here, and now this seems to be a nightmare coming true.

"Well, I have to say, it's wonderful having a good spectacle!" A long, confusing looking creature said. Although serpentine, he had the hand of a human at the end of its tail, and it was wearing a headset with a large microphone and camera dangling off of it. He was sitting next to an equally strange humanoid creature, a grey, clay-like entity with a massive yellow cybernetic eye and no discernable facial features.

The grey thing laughed, "well, it's always good to get stuck in again," he said, waving a hand, "you'd be surprised how few good fights you get out on Missions."

"Mind stating your name, RC, canon of origin, and preferred weapons to the crowd?" The snake asked.

"Sure thing, uh, Sarkan. I'm Agent Noman. First name Agent, last name Noman, of SOM167168. I'm here from the AAHW, and Madness Combat," Noman said, "and, while I can use pretty much anything as a weapon, my favorite thing to use is an ax. Or a submachine gun. Or a nuke, but I don't think we have any of those sitting around."

"You'd be surprised!"

Yeah, Matt is the type to be a coward when it comes to being murdered for somewhat obvious reasons.

It'd be funny if David kills Matt or visa versa.

I've been messing around with scenarios and events and such to give the thing a much more PPC-like flair, with help from some of the folks on the Discord. Hopefully I'll have signups ready to go in a week or so!

There is something I'd like to ask, though - does Nutmeg TV have a volunteer service, and would it work to have a bunch of vaguely incompetent part-time workers as hosts? (Also, am I allowed to use Nutmeg TV in the first place? I don't want to step on any toes.)
