The Quarter Quell: Sparks of Rebellion

The journey had been a quiet one, for Silver at least. Brutus, the other District 2 tribute, was ready to get back in the arena. Every day he spoke of his eagerness and couldn’t wait to give the Capitol a show. Silver had nothing but sheer hatred for the Capitol, and somehow she hoped to sabotage their games. She was very influential amongst the Tributes. Being one of the most deadly Victors ever, she could only hope something would happen. They had watched the reaping’s, and Silver saw many she knew well called up. There were a few Volunteers, and the love story of 12 continued as Peeta volunteered to re-enter with his beloved Katniss. Silver didn’t buy it, but to be honest after her brother had died she had become cynical of everything. She was forced to relive that as well, and every year she had that forced in her face. Silver soon stopped watching all airings and kept being in company only to meal times. The food was still exquisite, and there was a large platter of her favourite beef and onion dish, but she really did not have much of an appetite. How could she? She was brooding all the way to the Capitol, ignoring everyone.

“Silver, they’re going to want to see the ‘Deadly Dancer’” Lyme said to her, a commander back in 2 and also one of the mentors.
“They can stick the ‘Deadly Dancer’ up their ass” Silver hissed back, as the train rolled into the station, and she saw masses of people calling for their tributes. “These games are farce… We were promised a life if we won” She shook her head, resisting the urge to flip off those that called out. “Now we’re being pushed back in because Snow isn’t happy with her from 12 and the sparks of rebellion!”
“Where did you get that from?” Lyme said, after a moment’s pause, looking anxious and impressed.
“I’m not just a pretty face who is good with blades” Silver stated, before storming out of her compartment. She joined with Brutus and left the train, and she ignored everyone and entered into the back of the truck.

Everything happened quickly, and they would have to ready for the opening ceremony quickly. After last year’s performance by the stylists of 12, they were going all out. Not that anyone really could match! District 2 was known for their masonry, but the stylists also wanted to portray how dangerous Brutus and Silver were. The pair of them was dressed in Gladiatorial fashion, with dynamic make up for her. She looked at herself in the mirror and she curled her lip; she thought she looked garish! However a wolf whistle sounded behind her, and Silver turned in a whirl of curls. She smiled as Finnick moved towards them. Now, she and Finnick had both fallen victim in more ways than one, being sold at will to the men and women of the Capitol. They had grown close to one another whilst being used by many. “Lady Vipointe” Said Finnick with a smile, encasing her in his arms.
“Odair” She replied, hugging him back. She would be sad to see Finnick go, he had become a friend in darkened times. “Here we are again” She said to him, as she stepped back.
“Yep… Only on the other side” He added sadly.

* * *

Frustrating was an understatement, and he knew he couldn’t rely on anyone here. His partner in the games was an addict, and his mentors were addicts. He despised Morphling, it destroyed all it touched. So Kaygo took it upon himself to educate himself, to learn who his opponents would be and what he would be up against. He knew most of them, and there were some who were more infamous than some. Then of course there was Katniss and Peeta, the newest additions to the Victor clan. Kaygo sighed, was their love real? Could someone be so completely in love with someone that they couldn’t live without them? Kaygo had never seen that sort of love before, not even from a parental part. His mother was dying and his father an addict and poisoned by toxic fumes. He could suppose he loved his brothers, his oldest one especially. They had trained hard since they were young; helping each other in combat should they ever be reaped. And of course, Kaygo had been repeaed, winning by using the skills he and his brother had taught one another. He knew now though, that he wouldn’t be as lucky as to survive by hanging from a tree. He was up against previous winners, deadly ones too! At least his family would live in comfort in the Victors village. Or would they be evicted? He felt sick at the thought and tried not to think on it.

As they pulled into the Capitol, his mentor came to him. “Uncle” Kaygo said, trying not to look at the sunken black eyes that always held horrors.
“Find Haymitch” He said in a jittery manner, as the doors slid open.
“Why?” He asked. Why would he want to find that drunk?
“Just find him” His uncle said with a nod, as Kaygo walked off the train with Lerol.

Walking down into the underground room, where the victors all stood talking and joking amongst one another. They were all dressed in their costumes, and some were gaudy. But Kaygo looked down to his own suit. It was dark grey, with moving vehicles roaming around the costume, with a grey head piece. He looked around searching for Haymitch and he saw the man talking with Chaff. Kaygo walked over and he excused himself. “My Uncle told me to find you” Kaygo said, and Haymitch looked around before he walked to the side with Kaygo. And indeed what he said definitely peeked his interest.

How about them all arriving at the Capitol?

The Quarter Quell: Sparks of Rebellion

SILVER VIPOINTE

DISTRICT TWO - MASONRY

21

... winner of the 69th Hunger Games ...

Silver is a Hunger Games Victor from District 2, having won the 69th Hunger Games at the age of 15. Her name was announced at the reaping for the Quarter Quell, and she had asked all other female victors not to volunteer for her if she was chosen.

Her mother works within the ‘Nut’ as a commander among the militant ranks, a severe and cruel woman she pushed Silver to be as barbaric and brutal as she could be. And her father trained Peacekeepers, and he was perhaps more cruel. They are proud to be in the Capitol’s pockets and believe it is a greatest honour to have a Victor as a daughter. Silver had a younger brother named Cobalt, and she adored him. He was reaped the following year and was slaughtered in the arena in a most haunting way, and each year Silver is forced to relive the graphic killing of her 13 year old brother. And it has started a serious unrest inside. And it is for that reason Silver yearns for the downfall of the Capitol. As for her parents, they are ashamed of young Cobalt and have since denied that he ever existed. For Silver, there is no one in two that she holds dear anymore.

Silver won her Hunger Games by her talent with blades and her incredible speed and agility. She was part of the career pack and claimed eight kills in the arena, including the other three of the Career pack. She was admired for her svelte movements, and was labelled as a ‘dancer’ for the way she seemed to move when killing. From then on, Silver has never been the same. She matured very quickly, had to grow up quickly. She was originally proud to be a Victor, until her young brother was reaped and no one volunteered, then when he was killed, her allegiance changed.

For mentoring your brother for a fight to the death is enough to change anybody.

KAYGO OTTER

DISTRICT 6 - TRANSPORTATION

19

... winner of the 71st Hunger Games

Kaygo is a Victor from District 6, having won the games the day before his 15th birthday. He volunteered at the reaping, to save his morphling addicted Uncle when his name was called.

Kaygo is the third of four boys, but has always been independent of the others. From a young age, he and his eldest brother would train illegally, and learn to fight should they ever be reaped. He was raised to work in the baggage handling, and from this he gained some real strength. He has incredible upper body strength and it was this that led him to win his games. His mother is very sickly, having inhaled so many fumes over the years she has taken to her bed. Kaygo and his brothers work hard to provide everything, as his father is, like a lot of the District 6 inhabbitants, a Morphling addict. His uncle was the winner of the 58th Hunger Games, and ever since has battled with the addiction, trying to forget what had occurred in the arena. His father took to the painkiller when Kaygo was reaped and entered the Games. Kaygo has a very unstable relationship with his father because of this.

Kaygo was at a disadvantage in the games as he had no experience with weapons. But his strength worked to his advantage, and he killed two tributes by crushing them with large boulders. Another he killed in a fist fight, before the Game makers decided to turn the arena into an inferno. They made a volcano errupt, and Kaygo was able to climb to a tree and hang there for a long time, whilst the remaining Tributes died in the attack. When the wave of lava passed, Kaygo jumped to floor and listened to the cannon's. But his final image of the arena was of one Tribute running and screaming, her skin aflame and melting before dying at his feet.

Ancient Rome/Hadrian

Hadrian's Wall, built under the orders of Emperor Hadrian whilst in command of Roman Britain, a defensive move to keep the empire safe from both the Northern Rebels, and to keep safe one of Hadrian's legacies Defence before Expansion.
Commissioned in A.D 112, many of the Roman armies were deployed their to keep guard, and surrounding it often occupied farming communities to serve the Roman dignitaries and manors. The wall had many gates also, to serve as customs posts to allow for trade and levy taxation.
The wall itself was garrisoned by by auxiliary (non-legionary) units of the army (non-citizens) Their numbers fluctuated throughout the occupation but may have been around 9,000 strong in general, including infantry and cavalry. The new forts could hold garrisons of 500 men, while cavalry units of 1,000 troops were stationed at either end. The total number of soldiers manning the early wall was probably greater than 10,000.

Hadrian is the Emperor of Rome and a known humanist and is a well travelled, but he does not linger long in the cold realms of Britain.

Basically a plot to use behind two characters, a Roman (soldier/General etc) and a female woman from the native lands.

Dark Ages/War

1000 AD - Central Europe

During the high middle ages, there were knights and quests, kings and castles. But, one story you never hear of is the story of the Arcane Order.

What is the Arcane Order, you ask? The Arcane Order was founded by a man named Falias Northican in 100 AD. Falias was different from his fellow Europeans. He followed a different religion. A religion that worshiped a god by the name of Exitium. According to the texts written by Falias, Exitium is a god that loves destruction and death. His worshipers cause plenty of it in an attempt to please him. Also in Falias' texts, Exitium will descend from the sky in the End of Days prophecy to allow his worshipers to ascend to immortality while everyone else suffers before the universe is utterly destroyed. Then, Exitium will reconstruct the world the way he wishes and Falias will become its ruler. Anyone who heard Falias' stories scoffed. The government didn't take him seriously enough to prosecute him. Now, years later, the prophecy is coming true. Plague and hunger is ravaging the land. Natural disasters are running rampant. Now, heroes from all over the land are coming to find a way to put a top to the End of Days. Will they succeed?

Basically playing as two heros, two fighters. Yours will be a proud, arrogant but mighty swords man or a feral and fearsome clan warrior. Mine will be a female skilled in hunting and archery. Mostly plot driven, perhaps our characters can dislike each other at first and build from that.

Loose Ideas

1) Medieval/Dark ages
2) Ancient Rome
3) Prehistoric

001. Set in Medieval/Dark ages, could perhaps be in a fantasy realm. Using two characters that are part of a small chosen army, the finest warriors and such, sent on a voyage to retrieve something, escort, perhaps even kill of the dark forces (going the other route to the major armies). My character would be an archer, the finest there has been. Your character could be an excellent swordsman, or perhaps a clan leader who fights with an axe. It would be interesting to have the two characters dislike each other, or have a banter-fuelled relationship and build from there. Maybe he doesn't like women fighters or doesn't believe it is their place. Lots is open for discussion.

002. Set in ancient Rome, we would use the "Rape of the Sabine Women" As a basis for plot. The Rape is supposed to have occurred in the early history of Rome, shortly after its founding by Romulus and his mostly male followers. Seeking wives in order to found families, the Romans negotiated unsuccessfully with the Sabines, who populated the area. Fearing the emergence of a rival society, the Sabines refused to allow their women to marry the Romans. Consequently, the Romans planned to abduct Sabine women. Romulus devised a festival of Neptune Equester and proclaimed the festival among Rome's neighbours. At the festival Romulus gave a signal, at which the Romans grabbed the Sabine women and fought off the Sabine men. The indignant abductees were soon implored by Romulus to accept Roman husbands. Now the word rape here is meant in the sense of the Latin word Raptio, as in abduction. So you'll be playing as a Roman man, and I as his abducted Sabine woman.

003. Set in the times of BC. Two tribes live in constant disharmony, until one conquers the other. Rather than slaughter them all, they make a pact to keep the peace. The son of the chief of the victorious clan will get a mate of his choosing from the other clan, uniting them. This has happened for generations, and now it comes to your character. A feral and hardened warrior, he is not the delicate type. His attentions are taken when he looks upon the youngest girl of five, her rare blue eyes grabbing him. It is customary for him to take her in the chiefs crib of the losing clan, to remind those who might forget who is superior.

004.

Ancient Greece / Zeus

Something involving one of the many stories where Gods meddled with mortals. How many mortal women writhed in pleasure and screamed in ecstasy whilst riding Zeus? How many children were spawned from his loins on earth? Zeus was above anyone and could have his way with whoever he so wished.

Below are some of the old Myths that we can toy about with and explore. Perhaps non con, but either way he will be dominant and definitely take control of her. If neither of them, then we can produce our own using a regular mortal (perhaps a temple maid) and explore a sexual story between the King of the Gods and a mortal girl.

[size=8pt]Europa (Latin for Europe) was a lovely Phoenician princess who happened to catch Zeus' roving eye. Zeus went with a zoological approach in her case, and transformed into a big, beautiful white bull, that just happened to be grazing in the very same meadow where Europa and her girlfriends were picking flowers. Europa, impressed with the beast, approached him, stroked him, and (of course) mounted him. At which point, the bull took off, went straight for the sea, and didn't stop going until they'd reached the island of Crete.

Leda, queen of the ancient Greek city-state of Sparta, was already married when Zeus set his sights on her. He'd probably figured out early on that she wouldn't take any... bull from him, so he took the form of a swan, pretended he was being pursued by an eagle (a symbol of Zeus), and very conveniently landed in Leda's lap as she was bathing in a lake. Their relationship, such as it was, was promptly consummated, and resulted in two eggs from which hatched four children: two boys, Castor and Pollux, and two girls, Clytemnestra and Helen, the latter also known as Helen of Troy.
[/size]

Ancient Greece / Ares

The powerful and stoic God of War, battle-lust and manliness. Even those driven by war and fighting have wants and desires. He had many lovers according to ancient legends, and I think it'd be fun to put a most poweful and deadly God against a female, whether it be Goddess or mortal. Of course, his encounters with Aphrodite were perhaps the most famous, and she being the Goddess of love, beauty and sexuality, I think it would be a fun match.

Here is the link to a page that lists all of his lovers, we can go with a Myth or maybe a new creation. But Ares will be dominant (unless with Aphrodite, than it will be a mix of wild lovers performing ever more crude acts etc)

Ancient Greece / Apollo

Apollo was known to have had a very prolific love life. He had romantic relationships with both gods and mortals, men and women. He was also a jealous and, at times, a spiteful lover, who often punished those who did not return his affections. Apollo was obviously a very lustful and vengeful god, though he was mostly revered by the ancient Greeks. He was notorious for sleeping with his priestesses, though he was often shunned by them. Again, there are loads of myths listing the lovers he had and stories behind them. But I would like to explore a story line about perhaps a temple maid (server of Apollo) who rebuffs his advances.

The lovers of Apollo

12th Century/Mild Fantasy

The forest of the northern borders, holds with it a great legend. Stretching across the lands of ancient Britannia, its vast and extensive life of green and beauty has always been a great attraction to the travellers that pass through it and along side it. However, into the very depths of the forest is what is known as the Valley. A part of the forest that is always in shadow and mist. Always in a grey light due to the fog, the Valley is rumoured to be haunted by the rider. He is said to be the shadow of a fallen warrior, slain in the valley and his spirit never left. Riding through the forest of the Valley,ensuring that all stay clear from his territory. For all those that come in his path, are seen as the enemy and he takes your life. Those that enter the Valley, never return.
Well, surely this was just a legend? An old myth and story to give reason to the mist and shadow. A fairytale told to children for entertainment.

That was what a Legend was.

The year is 1103, and the young maiden Ellenis is one of an inquisitive and sprite-full nature. Always a lively and friendly female, she was popular amongst her clan for her tales and happy ways. Ellenis had always been fascinated by the tale of the Dark Rider, and she wanted to hear it again and again as a child. Always fascinated by anything that wasn't the norm, stories of magic and grand adventures. And as she grew, Ellenis never forgot the story of the Dark Rider. Only now, her curiosity grew.

Upon the turn of her sixteenth birthday, Ellenis and her friends walked through the northern forest, laughing and talking as they did so. When they walked through to the depths of the forest, to the outskirts of the Valley. Ellenis looked across the lagoon in the Valley, to the other side where the mist weaved through the trees and vines. Curiosity, and a need to know took over her, and the inquisitive blonde walked across the fallen log that crossed this part of the forest to that. She ignored the calls of her friends, and the further she walked, the more distant they became. Until Ellenis was walking through the mist, and in the territory of the Dark Rider.

He had plans to kill her as he did the rest, but something about the innocent beauty had him. So he spared her, on the deal that she would become his.

16th, 17th or 18th Century England

Born the daughter of an Earl, she is a lady to the public and true to her role.
Born the nephew of a Lord, he is a lady killer and master of the mind.
A simple attraction soon turns to a dangerous game.
Infatuation becomes obsession.
It will kill them.

It is a story of two people born of nobel rights, one a refined lady and one a male that has access to nobility through his uncle. The lady becomes the males latest infatuation, however it turns even more and soon he begins to play mind games with her. Their relationship turns more into a twisted game, coming and going. Now for this, I don't mind if you have the male as someone who is dealing with mental issues, or demons of his own. You really can go all out on him, to just make him a dark and twisted person. We will discuss more on the plot when someone is interested, but I do need someone who can play him as described. The sex will be extreme, lots of taboo issues etc.

Vague plot ideas

PLOT 1 A little Vague, open for change. Period Drama

The King of England. So ruthless and assertive, aggressive and untamable. Un-suited for just one woman, he desires himself many a mistress. Some he loves, some he does he despises, some he only sleeps with for political gain. However, one noble women gains his interests, but she is not so willing to give in, she wants to be Queen before they go any further, but he does not want marriage.

PLOT 2 Again a little vague, but also open for change. Ancient Greece or Rome/War/Battle/Violence

It will be set back in either ancient Rome, Greece or Britain. Based around a great battle, your character will be the most feared and respected warrior. Both arrogant and violent, he commands the respect of his nation, but the bitter hatred of his enemy. As a prize he is given a female as a personal slave, or maybe he takes her for himself. Either is cool with me.

PLOT 3 Pretty much fully formed. Pirate/Action

Many years ago and still now, pirates roamed around in the vast waters of the Spanish Main, or otherwise known as the Caribbean. This story takes place in the past, before machine guns and weapons of mass destruction were invented.

From two sides of the law, a whole different scenario is about to begin. The young daughter of the Governor and the fearsome captain of an infamous pirate ship would soon meet.

One dark night, after a lovely celebration of a wedding between two of the local, noble, residents, a pirate raid ensued. The pirates took everything that they could gets their grimy hands upon, including the beautiful daughter. Cannons blew, destroying the city of Port Rashelo, the girl being left in tears of the horrid news of what fate beheld her home. Leaving only the Captain to hold his hands proudly behind his back in success with a sly grin on his dirtied lips.

How could a vile pirate captain deal with a prissy daughter of a governor? Maybe this could work out in more ways than one.

Plot 4 Dark Ages War/Romance/Politics

A King of a fictional realm has been killed, and his son held accountable for the Murder. Executed for the murder, it leaves only his sister and the cruel and dangerous Right hand of the King to take his place on the throne, as he planned. To seal the deal, he takes the young Princess for his bride to quash any doubts anyone has over his new place on the throne. Or we could use the same story, but have the brother in the place of the Right hand and he uses his sister for his own perverted needs and wants, her being the prettiest in the realm.

Dark ages/Politics/Power

This isn't a fully formed plot. Just an idea I have been toying with. About a powerful man that becomes King. Could be by force, inheriting the throne or politics. But he is strong and powerful, perhaps arrogant but a strong leader. This story will be about him taking my female character as his bride. Either by force, or political reasons. Throw in a war, perhaps an assassination attempt etc.

On her majesties service

Hyped about the new James Bond movie coming out, I would like to try something involving an agent of the British secret service and my 'Bond girl' character. She can be an agent or the Damsel type, this will be discussed. A lot of action and drama will be involved, and a setting will be created between the two of us. But he needs to be a headstrong and confident character, as he is an agent in MI6. All details will be fleshed out between the pair of us.

That Wild West

I have a few ideas involving the Wild West.
1) Ever see the film Paint Your Wagon?Set in a mining town, an all male community work within the mining community. When they're not hunting gold, they're gambling or drinking. It is filthy, dirty but void of female company. That is until a Mormon passes through with two wives. Declaring mining law, or rather the law of their town, a man cannot have two wives. So the Mormon offers to sell his second bride to the highest bidder. Anything of value is offered, the bids climb higher and higher as the desperately lonely and horny men of the town place their bids for the girl. However, one miner declares a bid doubling the previous, and no one can out do him. And so she is sold, purchased as a wife to the miner. When he steps forwards, it is revealed the winner is one of the most solitary, yet volatile men within the town. A powerhouse of strength and sullenness, he takes his new bride. They are married that night, and he takes her back to his cabin, and consummates the marriage. However, problems soon arise when he comes to realize he has the only female for miles around, and shares a town with over 200 men.

Affairs of Court

Playing on the infamous scandal of his Grace the Duke of Suffolk who married Princess Mary without King Henry's consent (Tudors) I quite fancy doing something involving the Kings sister (my character) being seduced and entering an illicit affair with one of the King's most trusted men. However, this Duke (whilst being the Kings closest friend) also has a reputation for being quite the lady killer about court and a bit of a notorious bad boy. He will lust and desire after the one woman who he can not have, the Princess. So a lot of seduction, charm and teasing mixed in with a lot of political drama and intregue.

Lots of ideas

Lords, Ladies and Lies of the Court

The Lady Catherine Howard

She is a pretty young creature, with wit enough to do as badly as the others if she were to try

Catherine Howard is the Daughter of Lord Edmund Howard, Neice to the Duke of Norfolk Thomas Howard, and The Lady Elizabeth Howard; thus the first cousin to Queen Anne.

Catherine was born in Lambeth to Edmund Howard and Joyce Culpeper, and given her family name she was of Aristocratic Pedigree. But her Father was not wealthy owing to Primogeniture and his large birth family (being one of 21) he was one of the poorer Howard’s. When her father married Catherine's mother she already had five children from her first husband and went on to have another six, Catherine being about her tenth child. As a result, her father was often reduced to begging for handouts from his more affluent relatives. In 1531, he was appointed Controller of Calais.
After the death of her mother during her early childhood, Catherine was sent to live in the household of her step-grandmother, the Dowager Duchess of Norfolk. The Dowager Duchess presided over households at Chesworth House, near Horsham, and Norfolk House, at Lambeth, comprising numerous male and female attendants along with her many wards, usually the children of aristocratic but poor relatives. While sending young children to be educated and trained in aristocratic households other than their own was common for centuries among European nobles, supervision at both Chesworth House and Lambeth was lax. The Dowager Duchess was often at Court and seems to have had little direct involvement in the upbringing of her wards and young female attendants.

As a result of the Dowager Duchess’s lack of attention, the Wards of her household were not always the best behaved, with many becoming sexually adventurous and acting in appropriately with one another. Many pursued Catherine, including the music teacher Henry Mannox, the Duchess’s secretary Francis Dereham and many other Wards. Catherine was a flirty youth, and much full of life she would find her attention wandering when she was a study, and would often make jokes.

When Queen Anne’s relationship with the King began to take a turn, the Duke of Norfolk (not wanting to lose his families position within the court and to keep their influence) went to Lambeth and called his niece to Court to be one of the Queens ladies, but more so to tempt the King and keep in his favour. It worked, and King Henry bestowed gifts, land and cloth upon Catherine. She gained quite the attention, being young and frivolous, loving the lavish feasts at Court. It angered her cousin, but Catherine spurred the Kings Advances, preferring herself one of his courtier’s, Thomas Culpeper. But King Henry, a competitive man, stole away Culpeper on his campaign in France, parting the young lovers.

Catherine was a lively spirit, deemed sunny and beautiful by the court. French ambassador Charles De Marillac said “A young lady of extraordinary beauty and superlative grace” Some may deem her as an empty headed foolish girl, with a favour for only dancing and merry making, and there is a certain amount of truth to that. But under the guidance and from watching her cousin closely, Catherine is not the fool. Many people trust a girl with a pretty smile and flamboyant air, what harm could she be? But the stark contrast in personalities between her and her cousin the Queen, people forget the Howard and Boelyn tie.

Catherine is skilled in matters of the arts. She can sing and dance well, and has a love for poetry and painting. She is also very skilled in cards and horse riding, and loves hunting. She was raised a Catholic, but Catherine is not devout, and she often says “I speak so little to god he would not know who I am”.
