HGS Convergence Discussion Thread

Another thing, for the Panemite Faith, I have an idea that'll reveal why the Hunger Games exists in the first place:

The Hunger Games is a long-standing ritual that offers human sacrifice in the names of tributes, the fallen souls and the victorious spirits would become the offerings for an ancient deity known as "Collins", a war goddess and the creation god of Panem. Should the Hunger Games got replaced by a virtual simulator, such blasphemy would invoke Collins' wrath, causing her to awake and destroy the entire planet.

In other words, Markus, the sickening individual who tries to preserve the old traditions in Panem at all cost, would have been a hero trying to save this world from a war deity... if not for his self-serving ambition, fanatical behaviour and Knight Templar tendencies.

Careful there, it's been long established that the Hunger Games originally happened like in the books, but GASK intervened and opened it to the entire Multiverse. However, your creation myth is only part of your character's religion, so it's up to the others on whether or not they believe in that.

Also reposting my question for Oggy.

Alright.

Only Panem is affected.

Now that Forte is blown into pieces, I wonder how a tribute's remains are sent back to their home or their relatives. Will the gooey bits be mailed back to their home or it requires someone to arrive the Capitol to retrieve them?

Edited by Mhazard on Mar 13th 2020 at 9:38:08 PM

It's up to you, since the nominators have their own ways to revive their tributes.

In that case, King is the one who nominated Forte. Being an underdog even by nominator standard, I'm now in doubt whether an ordinary human like her can revive Forte. Moreover, Hassel is effectively dead and Markus is inherently hostile to the Winter's End, meaning that there's hardly any facility to revive Forte.

UPDATE: Let's see if the Capitol's hospital can restore Forte.

As for the Panemite Faith, I think going for a Scam Religion route where they're fighting against a cosmic horror that doesn't even exist would do, as it makes Markus more despicable.

Now awaiting for the Capitol Clinic to reply to King.

Guess I'd need to do the reply myself. Generally speaking, if a tribute is blown to pieces, would the Capitol's hospitals and clinics still accept the patient and cure/revive them?

On one hand, I wanted to play everything realistically, on the other hand, it'd be a pity for Forte to die off for real in such abrupt manner.

Edited by Mhazard on Mar 15th 2020 at 2:22:48 AM

Sorry for not making a post, but the hospital actually can't revive someone, though there's a revival center near the Arena where the gamemakers also revive tributes from unknown nominators if they aren't revived by anyone else in case they make it to the BR or DB

I've decided not to cover the other Brant Steele sim threads (Big Brother, Total Drama, Survivor, etc.) anymore.

I'd just like to announce a new rule for this RP, effective immediately. ~Billy 5545, please add the following to the OP of ASAS:

Since this RP is Loose Canon in relation to the main HGS thread, the host's interpretation of events isn't necessarily 100% canon. Every player has the right to deviate from what the host says and go with their own interpretations. If multiple players have their tributes involved in the same event(s), please communicate with each other so that you're on the same page regarding how you see them.

Yes, the Library does have a twist to the "No Food or Drinks" policy.

I have some potential futures for the Treatlings.

First, i may have non-food and drinks, such as furniture, ornaments, tanks, ships, submarines, and vehicles being brought to life by this phenomenon, though i'm not sure if i should pull this one off.

Secondly, i'm planning to have more nominators/characters getting involved in my arc, and another RP-er's character (most likely 6001 or Tabby) getting involved in the first hostile Treatling encounter.

There's also more powerful "Magical Girl" Treatlings that i plan to introduce. These "tougher" Treatlings are older than the more pre-teen looking earlier ones, and are also more capable of confronting/defeating villains and monsters, in contrast with the younger ones which are pacifistic and rarely use their powers other than to help people in need. The implication will be that that these younger/earlier ones came from a work/show with a far younger target demographic than these older ones (which are based off the more "warrior-ish" Magical Girls.). I'm planning for them to represent/embody the various types of Magical Girls that has been created.

There would also be non-magical girl based Treatlings, such as a food (most likely a cinnamon roll) that becomes a youthful Shonen Protagonist who is looking for his mother, a shrimp that could make a projection to defeat enemies, and a lollipop personified as an adorable 9-year old girl, and is not powered in any way.

6k1's still training as of now, so by the time she's done, she can face off an enemy Treatling to apply her skills. But still, that depends on whether or not she's available after training, since she has to rest due to the jet lag she gets from traveling outside Panem.

Meanwhile, I've been planning to shift the plot to a more serious direction. Once the Neon Quarters have established their cathedrals, they would begin to indoctrinate children using the free education they provided and train them into loyal soldiers who would only obey the Quarters and no one else. They would also begin to persecute those who go against their faith using their own secret polices (which can be identified by their jet black Peacekeeper uniforms) and military hardware, either running over the disbelievers' homes with tanks or simply locking them into gas chambers located under the cathedral, disguised as shower rooms. As for the Treatlings, the Quarters would see them as spiritually unclean (the formal term is "Taint" or "Kegare", which means dirty in spirit) and exterminate them indiscriminately.

Bear in mind that the Quarters have a huge arsenal of superweapons and they're essentially a Nazi-like organisation without any connection with actual Nazis, a dreadful, dead-serious antagonistic faction not to be underestimated. Fortunately, their reliance on good publicity would keep them in check, and the Winter's End would fight against the Quarters till the very end.

Edited by Mhazard on Mar 19th 2020 at 2:38:42 AM

I actually have a different plan for these Treatlings. Namely, i'm going to reveal that they (at least some) are the souls of actual humans that are captured by the villain, and is dropped and end up possessing foodstuff.

Also, i'm considering the possibility of vehicles like tanks, warships, submarines, fighter planes, even guns, and some other objects like furniture and possibly toys being brought to life as well. Should i?

Edited by Oggy123 on Mar 19th 2020 at 9:21:56 PM

Go for it, it may lead to some interesting, chaotic outcomes ranging from the Quarters' weapon's turning against their masters or an entire skyscraper turning into a giant mecha. Not even a group of dead serious Space Nazis is safe from that.

Likewise, should a Tactical Doll becomes a real human because it gets hit by a meteor...

Apparently the character page "Lore Characters - Nominator and Tributes" has grown too large and it needs to be broken down to two pages.

While I wish I could help more on the RP development, since I've lost all means of contact, all I can do is to wait for someone else willing to handle the task.

Edited by Mhazard on Mar 23rd 2020 at 3:10:45 AM

Maybe we can move some of the tributes like BTS or the Undertale Characters to Lore Characters or in a separate page.

Either Way,There’s going to be some big changes to the pages.

Edited by TabbyGirl4 on Mar 21st 2020 at 10:45:10 AM

I'm thinking that we split the Noms and Tributes page.

That sounds about right

Another idea is to split it in half by alphabetical order (A-L, M-Z), ordering by the faction's first letter. (e.g. The Winter's End goes to M-Z section).

Edited by Mhazard on Mar 22nd 2020 at 1:44:27 AM

Is Mhazard implying that he will be less active from now? I actually already came up with a faction of weapons that are rebelling against the Neon Quarters.

Also, what are the status of the Nominators and other characters right now? Which tropers/players are active right now?

Edited by Oggy123 on Mar 28th 2020 at 12:18:42 AM

He only said it in a Discord server, but he recently gets a job as a freelance photographer, so he'll be Inactive for a while thanks to job.

Also I should be active even though I currently post less frequently.

I'm still here, and so are Bale, Scipion, Tabby, and Eredars. Psyche and Zanreo are currently on a break, while Dave will try his best to participate in the Legion of Doom Arc. Ichi is pretty much an "on-call" player, meaning that he'll only respond if someone talks to him, and Elliot's status is ambiguous, although that's because he's in the self-contained Halo Arc.
