Hello!
I have cemented in my mind that I have some really weird dreams. The plot below is based off of one of them.
~
Every year there is a tournament, every year people die. No, these aren't The Hunger Games. These is The Tournament. There isn't an official name for it, and people have just gotten used to calling it ' The Tournament '.
In order to be eligible to participate, you must be between the ages of 18-25, and must have completed the paperwork and mandatory evaluations before you can enter. Only the top 20 picked by the judges; 10 male and 10 female, will be allowed to participate, and will be given special privileges depending on where in the city they came from, and whether or not they meet certain requirements. Those perks may just help you win though, but the perks can be stolen by someone else if they reach them before you do.
Now you may be wondering ' what is the tournament exactly '. It's an event held every year in the second week of January, and continues until a winner is crowned. Keep in mind though, that just because you are in first place at the end of each race, does not mean you will be the winner.
What is used during the tournament? Well, motorcycles of course! Not your traditional motorcycles mind you; those would get you killed faster than you can get the engine started. No; these are a more futuristic version that can attach to walls and you can ride them in a way that results with you seeing everything upside down.
Helmets are included.

Now for the fun stuff. Each person is born with a mark upon their back and it is usually some kind of animal. That mark will tell you of the kind of personality the child will have as an adult, and while these marks are just like a normal tattoo until you are 18, the scientists in the arena basement are able to activate the mark and make it able to save lives. Yes, you read that right. If you befriend someone during The Tournament and they get badly hurt, you can transfer part of your mark to them to save their life. Please note though, that when you do this, the missing part of your mark will turn white and emit a sort of eerie glow.
When the mark is completely white, it will fade and scar, leaving behind an eternal reminder to everyone that sees you without a shirt will know you participated in The Tournament and saved someone while you were there.

While you are a participant, you will stay in the apartments under the Arena and at the end of the day's race, you are to immediately return to your assigned apartment via the underground train, where if you miss your stop you cannot return home for the night. It may seem harsh, but you can use your keycard to gain access to someone else's apartment if they give you the code. This code can only be used once though, so weigh your options before you decide to redeem it.
I will say this though; the showers are quite nice and the beds are on a level of squish that cannot be properly described.
-
So, would you care to send in an application to enter, or would you prefer to read the pamphlet and obtain a little more information first?
Both are completely acceptable options.

I can't really remember much more than those basic details, but I can tell you that the dream I had caused me to wake up and think ' Why is it that my brain keeps making me dream about these incredibly random things? Gravity defying motorcycles? '
The basic rules apply. Be 18+ ( for content reasons ), Try to use proper grammar, no text speak, have fun, don't be afraid to talk to me OOC, etcetera.
This can be done through PM or on Skype. I'm not picky.
