I like the character sheets, but I did notice that most are approaching this more in a casual manner instead of as a Hunger Games themed game. Perhaps we should have used canon characters, or had the GM come up with our names and such. I also noticed a lack of gender balance within the districts, there's a large number of males and barely any female characters, which is also unlike the genre. This isn't to call anyone out, it's just stating the facts, that so far it feels more Hunger Games-alike than Hunger Games.
While I was editing the Character Sheets into the OP, I noticed the gender gap and I wondered what I should do about it. I finally came to the conclusion that I do not mind the gender gap. It is about having my players be comfortable and not forced to play as a certain gender. I know a majority of people here wouldn't mind that, but some would. One person would be the male from a district and the other would be the female. Who am I to decide who plays which? Should I let them figure it out themselves? That could just lead to fighting and disagreements between members and I don't want that. Leave that to the IC.
The Character Sheets are merely a way to allow my players to be more comfortable. They can go into as much detail as they would like, or just the bare minimum. Because this was originally going to be a Spam game, I don't expect much more than a casual approach. When I get something more, I am pleasantly surprised, but I don't expect it from everyone. Maybe it's not their forte to make a Character Sheet, and that's fine.
The base of the game is strictly Hunger Games. Co-GM and I are working very hard behind the scenes to make this game as true to the series as we can, and I think when you all see the outcome, you will be pleased. As long as we hold true to our end and give you all an exciting experience, it doesn't really matter about the characters as long as they are human and realistic. And thank you for speaking up, Jordan. :)
