Important Game Info - Reading is mandatory!
We've got some important stuff to announce here. Because of the importance of it all, we will need everyone to comment below right here to prove they've read everything.
The first thing that people should know is that due to plots and timing issues, endgame will not be ending in March, but in June. It will mean the same amount of content as before, only now it is more evenly spaced and allows optional downtime.
1 - THE REAPING
Remember all those kids the children of the Tribute Youth Programme wrote letters to? The ones who required NPCing? The truth is out now. Although their roles were relevant to the District tours, their relevance comes through their participation in the arena. That's right, the kids will be joining the offworld Tributes in one final fight to the death!
How this works is that these kids will be NPC'd by our awesome volunteers. Offworld Tributes will get first hand contact with a District-born person, but that's not all! These kids will be relying on you!
Scored accordingly, each NPC Tribute will be rolled in the weekly death rolls. Districts can attempt to keep their kid alive ICly, as well as put credits toward them OOCly, in attempt to keep them living and keep the Districts they'll inevitably visit on their side. OR offworlders may forsake them all together and kill them off themselves, picking off the kids to secure the victory of theirs, or themselves. There will be no revival mechanism for these kids. Once they're gone, they're gone!
For the first time in the 75th Hunger Games, offworld Tributes may get a real taste of what the original games were like.
The Tributes are as follows:
Sheen | District 1 | Amry
Aemila | District 2 | Lysoke
Mollusc | District 4 | Lexil
Rotor | District 5 | Lexil
Maglev | District 6 | Fritz
Hemlock | District 7 | Jormy
Deniera | District 8 | Danya
Irri | District 9 | Hannah
Bison | District 10 | Lisa
Bacopa | District 11 | Smurf
Char | District 12 | Smurf
The District 3 Tribute, of course, can't come from District three. In response to the TYP children's rebellion and to fill the void District 3 leaves, Capitol children will be reaped.
The following characters are eligible for having a 12-18 year old member of their family reaped to represent District 3 in the 15th arena:
Kurloz Makara
Porrim Maryam
Trish Whitworth
Cassian Bouchard
Jason Compson IV
Swann Honeymead
China Sorrows
Vittoria "Beck" Scordato
If they do not have a family member who qualifies for reaping, then they are home free. If they do, and you wish to NPC this child (or someone else does) in the games, let us know here by September 18th.
If you would like to NPC a Capitolite child for an NPC support Stylist, you may do so upon informing us.
If more than one person wishes to NPC a Capitolite child, there will be an RNG Reaping OOC as well as one that's IC.
2 - IN-GAME CHANGES
To keep with the spirit of unpredictability with the Games, and reflect of the nature of the arenas, we are looking to instate a new system. This system provides a possibility of death on war missions, but still allow you to play your character (Injuries will also be a rollable option on these missions). How this will work is that every Tribute recorded dead by Capitol cameras or Peacekeeper reports will be revived just as they would after an arena and be held a hostage of the Capitol. (Offworlders on the Capitol side may also be killed and revived. This does not apply to Panem natives.)
What this system also means is that we will be shuffling the Games up a bit.
If your character is already in District 13, congratulations, you are exempt from the shuffle. If your character is actively pro-capitol and will be fighting for them willingly, congratulations, you are also exempt from the shuffle. All you guys will need to do is comment with your character and your character's name in the designated sections.
As for the rest of you, your characters will now be thrown into the shuffle of:
a.) Those who will be fighting for the rebellion in District 13. Your character works just as any other character of the District 13 rebellion would. They are fighting to defeat the Capitol under District 13's supervision and embarking upon missions to do so.
OR
b.) Those who will be fighting for the Capitol. As your character is not pro-capitol, they will have other reasons to be there. Like say, a threatened loved one, a way back home, brainwashing, torture-- anything that would strong arm them into killing for the Capitol. And they will need to try and kill. Those on the Capitol's side attempting to show any acts of mercy towards the rebellion will be executed. But hey! You know how the arenas work! This should be easy for you! And if it's not, that's just unfortunate since the Capitol still has a tracker on you
The reason for this shuffle is not only to provide more drama and a better playing experience, but also so as to keep the war playable. Nobody likes threading fights with NPCs that aren't really there, and mods simply don't have time to NPC every Peacekeeper and bad guy.
The shuffle will be done primarily by RNG. However, we will also be taking note of those with stronger motivations for one or the other, and those with roles of bigger impact (on one side than the other). We will be doing our best to make things both fun and fair.
Throughout the war, there will be chances for people to shift alliances through the death method (13->Capitol), a hostage method (13->Capitol), a capture method (Capitol->13, done with temporary imprisonment), and a rescue method (Capitol->13 done by removing the tracker).
Everyone MUST fill out info for each character by October 2nd. This is NOT OPTIONAL. If you fail to complete this properly you will be swept from game. You will need to fill it out even if your character is Pro-Capitol or in D13 already in case of future RNG shuffles.
Please fill out the following, keeping it short and to the point:
And place the comment here in the correct subcomment. If your character is already in 13, comment to the District 13 heading. If they are pro-Capitol, comment to Capitol thread. Otherwise, comment to the shuffle thread.
The actual RNG shuffle will not be done until November 16th
3 - CREDIT SPENDING CHANGES
Because this will be the last arena, once it is over, credits will no longer be spent on arena gifts and buyouts. Instead, we are comprising a list of things that players will be able to be purchased with credits at select times in the war, namely mid war and at the ending weeks. (War begins late November, mid-war beginning in late January)
Winning the war will not be a guaranteed thing. There are eleven Districts out there and if any more are claimed by the Capitol than by the rebellion during the course of the war, then it could change the outcome of the endgame.
Districts will be won through organic play and-- a key piece of this game-- RNG. There will be three points that can be earned by one side or the other to win each district, each bringing up a different result. Each side needs a minimum of two points to win. However, a fourth point may be bought by players combining their collective credits to equal 5000. This will help make ties to prevent one side from winning, or break ties caused by a nuetral point result (this will be explained/revealed at a later point).
Alternately, come mid-war you may do a death buyout which be 1000 credits each. As with arenas, you must use the credits or lose them. Whatever you have now will be good for the arena or the first portion of the war. After final AC in the final month of war in May (June being used for aftermath), due to circumstances surrounding the revival mechanism, the death buyout prices will be greatly lowered or discarded. This will be re-examined closer to the date.
Finally, being split from loved ones can be difficult, especially if you're made a hostage, or worse, a soldier against your will! However, things can be made better. For the low price of 150 credits, you can have letters smuggled to the opposing side and sent to your loved one. For 50 credits you can pay for a delightful meal with booze for your war buddies, war stories and campfire optional, afforded to you via gift or theft from the Districts. More examples and an outline of how spending will work will be forthcoming. We'll make a post when it's up.
You may still use your credits this arena or you can save them for the first part of the war. Or you can use half in each! It is up to you for how you play it.
4 - AC CHANGES
Because of all the shuffling around and changing roles for characters within the game world, we're doing a little cleaning up of how many credits are awarded for different things and how many are required for AC.
Starting with the next Activity Check and continuing through into endgame, all players will be required to prove a minimum of 200 credits per character to pass AC, with the exception of disposable PCs. This includes players in District 13. We are also doing away with allowing the new CR bonus to be claimed for characters who are having their first thread together in District 13 even if they've threaded together before. We feel the opportunities for activity have equalized between the rebels and the Capitol so the training wheels are coming off!
Secondly, since heading into wartime the tower will less be divided into District loyalties and have more emphasis placed on being part of the Capitol forces, staff characters will no longer be required to make open District posts every cycle to pass AC. We do still encourage players to do so, as there are credit bonuses to making a post (you still earn credits for cumulative comments on posts you make!) but we feel that continuing with this requirement into endgame will detract rather than help. That said, disposable PCs are still required to make at least one open post per cycle as that comprises the entirety of their AC.
Lastly, a few value changes. Replying to a post is now worth 10 credits, up from 5. Finishing a thread is also now worth 20 Credits, up from 15, though the thread in question must be more than 6 comments total (3 from each character) to claim these credits. We want to encourage finishing threads, but don't want that reward being abused.

The Shuffle
Shuffle
no subject
Character name: Clara Murphy
District: 10
Allies in game: Dave Strider, Albert Heinrich, The Initiate
Rebellion
Role: Propaganda Icon
Motivations: The potential of being able to return home upon the defeat of the Capitol and wanting to take down the Capitol for dragging her away from home in the first place.
Capitol
Role: Proooobably propaganda or leverage for something?
Motivations: Keeping her loved ones safe (both canonmates or characters in game)
Preferred side
ICly: Rebellion
OOCly: Rebellion if possible!
Re: Shuffle
Character name: Karkat Vantas
District: 6
Allies in game: Feferi Peixes, Dave Strider, Roland Deschain, Jane Shepard, Phillip Grey, Linden Lockhearst, the Psiioniic, Revas Tabris, the Signless, Haruto Soma. Fringe things include Sansa Stark (doesn't know her well but would help her willingly), Miss Gritta (ditto), Anna (yep), and Terezi Pyrope (things are rocky between them but he'd put his life on the line for her).
Rebellion
Role: Soldier, and a leader if he could swing it, propaganda (he's good at speeches).
Motivations: Karkat has no place but Panem anymore, since he's permanently dead back in his own world. He wants to save it - to make it a better place for both the native people of Panem and for the Offworlders who would stay - and to stop the Hunger Games and all the Capitol stands for.
Capitol
Role: Soldier, propaganda icon, leverage.
Motivations: Threatening the people he loves would be the biggest motivator possible for him, followed shortly by destruction of civilian locations (in the way of, you work for us or we destroy more). Brainwashing would also be highly effective, but I'd rather only do that if it's temporary/other things aren't an option. (The threat would work well on its own.)
Preferred side
ICly: Rebellion
OOCly: Rebellion, though I have no trouble with potential side-switches against his will through in game stuff.
no subject
Character name: The Signless
District: D12
Allies in game: Roland Deschain, Karkat Vantas, the Psiioniic, Alain Johns, the Initiate, Beck Scordato, Terezi Pyrope, Leonidas Cora, Feferi Peixes
Rebellion
Role: Propaganda (skilled with speeches/controlling large crowds), running messages and supplies, battlefield triage
Motivations: He believes very strongly in making Panem a better place and creating a better life for the people of the districts. He also wants to stop the Games and find away to either send the other offworlders home or make Panem a place they could settle and rebuild (which is what he plans to do himself).
Capitol
Role: Propaganda same as above. He could also be useful leverage for characters like Karkat and Roland, or be forced to act as as spy.
Motivations: He wouldn't be swayed by threats to his own life -- he'd just let them kill him. Threaten his loved ones, though, or especially threaten to wipe 12 off the map same as 3, and he could be persuaded.
Preferred side
ICly: Rebellion
OOCly: I could swing either! I'd prefer Rebellion but if I got Capitol I'd happily make it work.
no subject
Character name: Steve Rogers (AU)
District: 9
Allies in game: He doesn't have super close ties to anyone yet, but he cares about the continued well-being of Panem!Peggy Carter, fem!au Bucky Barnes, Aang, and his Districtmates.
Rebellion
Role: Soldier
Motivations: He's got no love for the Capitol's practices as he's seen them.
Capitol
Role: Soldier, possibly propaganda/leverage against anyone that would find it demoralizing seeing Steve Rogers' face fighting on this side?
Motivations: Threat of brainwashing (combined with graphics threats of forcing him to torture and murder people, specifically any children he's met here or friends from home/AUs of them) or actual brainwashing.
Preferred side
ICly: Rebellion
OOCly: Either is fine with me! If Capitol I'm totally good with brainwashing and possibly eventually going to 13, or vice versa!
no subject
Character name: Ellis
District: 4
Allies in game: Rochelle, Nick, TWD Nick, Daryl Dixon, Rick Grimes, Chuck Hansen,
Rebellion
Role: Soldier, Proganda, Assistance
Motivations: He's fighting for his freedom and his friends, he's not going back to his world but he's making a home here
Capitol
Role: Soldier or icon for leverage
Motivations: A loved one held hostage by the Capitol and if all else fails, temporary brainwashing!
Preferred side
ICly: Rebel!
OOCly: Rebel but switches can be possible!
Re: Shuffle
Character name: Altaïr ibn La-Ahad
District: 11
Allies in game: (no particular order) Merlyn, Jane Shepard, Bucky Barnes (AU), Karkat Vantas, Roland Deschain. These aren't people he super cares about, but he'd fight alongside them and trust them with info.
Rebellion
Role: Assassin, light spying, reconnaissance/scouting.
Motivations: He will only stay if it is helping the innocent people of the Districts. Even if he continues helping 13, he may gather like-minded allies around him who take neither side.
Capitol
Role: Assassin, light spying, reconnaissance/scouting.
Motivations: He should be fooled into thinking he's gotten away and is working for the rebels. Someone posing as a rebel should give him missions to fight/kill supposedly "Capitol-allied" people, especially key figures. For example, he's already beaten up a secret rebel, Stephen Reagan, by mistake while looking for information.
Preferred side
ICly: none
OOCly: Rebel
Re: Shuffle
Character name: The Ψiioniic
District: 9
Allies in game: The Signless, Roland Deschain, Initiate Fraysong, Karkat Vantas, Harley Quinn, Sam Wilson, Terezi Pyrope, Meulin Leijon (AU), Dave Strider, Porrim Maryam (AU), Feferi Peixes, Revas Tabris, Jane Shepard
Rebellion
Role: Hacker. General communications. If his powers are returned, he could be a battlemage too.
Motivations: Helping the Districts and fighting for social equality, with less deaths if possible.
Capitol
Role: Hacker. General communications. If his powers are returned, a battlemage and/or airship pilot (via telekinesis) too.
Motivations: Brainwashing. Leverage or threats would just cause him to commit suicide and negate them, if he was able. Let's not do that for now.
Preferred side
ICly: He will attempt to follow Signless anywhere, presumably to rebellion.
OOCly: ...But fate is a wily thing!
no subject
Character name: Clint Barton
District: 8
Allies in game: Sam Wilson, Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Aang, Terezi Pyrope, Jet Link; tentatively Porrim Maryam and Lady!Bucky, and also I'm sure I'm forgetting someone sorry
Rebellion
Role: Soldier, Assassin/Spy, Strategist, Motivation???? "You walk out that door," ect ect.
Motivations: He's a Big Damn Hero. Clint doesn't know how to live with out a fight, taking down corrupt government agencies is apparently what he does. He wants to stop the Hunger Games, make Panem better for the people here, and then find a way home to his family.
Capitol
Role: Soldier, Assassin/Spy, Hostage, Leverage against the Avengers, ect ect.
Motivations: Keeping his loved ones safe, the threat of dragging his family here (he hasn't forgotten the dream event) -- not necessarily the most effective, he'll still try to find a way to help 13. Brainwashing -- highly effective, already been clearly used against him.
Preferred side
ICly: Rebellion
OOCly: I'd prefer if he got stuck Capitol and eventually was able to make the way to Rebels. But fine with whatever!
Re: Shuffle
Character name: Maxwell Trevelyan
District: 8
Allies in game: Cullen Rutherford, Adella Trevelyan, Revas Tabris, The Iron Bull, Bayard Sartoris, Jane Shepard
Rebellion
Role: Propaganda, Soldier
Motivations: The Capitol needs to be stopped, no one anywhere will be safe until they are. Justice for what was done to him and his. The possibility of going home.
Capitol
Role: Leverage, forced soldier, propaganda
Motivations: Threats against someone he cared about
Preferred side
ICly: The Rebellion
OOCly: The Rebellion
no subject
Character name: Roland Deschain
District: four
Allies in game: Signless, Aang, Firo, Psiionic, Alain, Karkat, possibly Zed
Rebellion
Role: Soldier
Motivations: He really doesn't like the Capitol. He'd be tempted to just leave both sides to their war if he could find a safe place to go live out his life, but since that's not possible he'd fight for the rebellion if he had a choice about it.
Capitol
Role: He'd make good leverage for Signless if that was necessary, otherwise soldier
Motivations: Signless. That or the tracker, but without a loved one counting on him to fight for the Capitol he'd be looking for every opportunity to go to D13.
Preferred side
ICly: He'd prefer the rebellion.
OOCly: Anything works for me, although it would be interesting for him to be in the Capitol first and make his way to the rebellion. As long as he can end up in the rebellion eventually I'm good with whatever.
no subject
Character name: Jane Shepard
District: 5
Allies in game: So many. Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes (plural), Sigma Klim, Sandy Marko, Clint Barton, Initiate Fraysong, Terezi Pyrope, Karkat Vantas, Revas Tabris, Cullen Rutherford, Adella Trevelyan, The Iron Bull, any Mass Effect characters that are still in the game, Clara Muphy, Roland Deschain probably, Wyatt Earp, probably like a dozen other people, she's been in this game for an eternity, I'm definitely missing some.
Rebellion
Role: Soldier/field commander, tactical advisor and/propoganda icon (given her longevity in the games?) idk, go nuts. She is a being of many utilities.
Motivations: At this point, she's lost enough friends and been through enough that while she is still motivated primarily by the desire to go home and complete her mission vis a vis the Reapers, she will absolutely settle for fucking up the Capitol right good as a motivation. She mad.
Capitol
Role: Shepard's utility as a solider and mole is not to be underestimated.
Motivations: Basically, at this point, if they could bring Thane back and cure him of his illness, actually physically present her with him, she'd have a hard time saying no to that. Her motivation to work with the Capitol would have to be both tangible, and precious.
Preferred side
ICly: Rebellion. She's...technically already working for them on a semi-regular basis.
OOCly: Rebellion.
no subject
Character name: Arya Stark
District: 10
Allies in game: Black Tom Cassidy, Molotov Cocktease, Éowyn, Sansa Stark
Rebellion
Role: Soldier (more of a stealth/sneak operative than a meatshield though)
Motivations: The possibility of returning to her own world, and more importantly revenge against the Capitol - President Snow has made it onto her death list by now
Capitol
Role: Soldier, probably leverage as she's so young
Motivations: Keeping her loved ones safe, especially now Sansa is in Panem
Preferred side
ICly: Rebellion
OOCly: Rebellion
no subject
Character name: Firo Prochainezo
District: 8
Allies in game: Jack Sparrow, Éowyn, Phillip Grey, Roland Deschain
Rebellion
Role: Soldier, could also train others
Motivations: Revenge against the Capitol, simply the fact that they’re not the Capitol, possibility of finding a way home, and wanting to protect his friends and the relative innocents (in his opinion) in the Districts
Capitol
Role: Soldier, could also train others (though he won’t advertise the latter to them)
Motivations: Threats to loved ones; threats to him will only work if he thinks it could affect Ennis through their link. Possibly brainwashing, but that's something I'd prefer not to play.
Preferred side
ICly: Rebellion
OOCly: Rebellion
Re: Shuffle
Character name: Revas Tabris
District: 10
Allies in game: Thedas crew, Bayard Satoris, Jane Shepard, pretty much all of d10 (except Black Tom), pick a person Tabris has talked to once and she'll probably decide they're friends.
Rebellion
Role: Tabris is used to leading from the front lines, so I'd say that she'd either become a commander again, leading a small squad of fighters, or become a second-in-command, primarily tasked with using her skills with people to make sure everyone is operating well, stays motivated, and are able and willing to fulfill their objectives.
Motivations: Tabris puts the blame of Alistair's death on the Capitol, and quite frankly, a host of other issues. She would love to burn the Capitol down and dance in the ashes.
Capitol
Role: Tabris could serve as a fighter here as well, though I doubt that the Capitol would put her in command of anything. She could also be used for propaganda, and being a double agent or a sleeper agent, because let's face it, no one would suspect Tabris. Being a sleeper agent could probably work with some of the plot stuff I've discussed with the mods.
Motivations: Basically, this correlates with what the Capitol makes her do. Something like being a sleeper agent would probably take some hijacking and/or brainwashing, fighting for the Capitol would take at least threatening the lives of various people cares about--And the Capitol is free to go grab people from her world, including Alistair, but she's got plenty of people in Panem she'd fight for. Propaganda wouldn't take as much. Tabris also has a lot of dark secrets regarding shit she's done in the name of the Greater Good, stuff that she doesn't want people from Thedas to know. Basically, the more involved they want her to get, the more convincing they'll need to be.
Preferred side
ICly: The rebellion
OOCly: I'm fine with starting either way! I'd prefer her to end on the side of the rebellion, but starting out either way is fine.
no subject
Character name: Sansa Stark
District: 6
Allies in game: Arya Stark, Karkat Vantas, Phillip Gray
Rebellion
Role: Propaganda, probably. Possibly spying.
Motivations: If she thought it would keep her safe; if she thought it would keep Arya safe; if she thought the fighting would end sooner and the Games with it.
Capitol
Role: Propaganda, or leverage against Arya
Motivations: Fear for herself or for Arya, or the threat of being sent back to the Lannisters if the rebellion won.
Preferred side
ICly: None. She just wants to hide.
OOCly: Either would be great
Re: Shuffle
Character name: Phillip Gray
District: 6
Allies in game: Karkat, Linden, Jet Link, Venus, Firo, Daryl Dixon, Rick Grimes, Vivi, Sansa Stark, Sandy Marko, TWD Nick, Ermac, Nux, Sigma, probably more
Rebellion
Role: Propaganda icon, he's pretty good at being behind the scenes, search and rescue, soldier if need be
Motivations: Phone Guy wants the Capitol to burn for breaking their promises to their children and his loved ones. He's not going back to his world but he's making sure he can help this one
Capitol
Role: Propaganda icon or soldier if need be...he's very good at being shady
Motivations: Holding his friends and loved ones hostage is a pretty big motivator for Phil to fight for the Capitol.
Preferred side
ICly: Rebellion
OOCly: Rebellion but he can play the Capitol as long as he can with potential side switches
Porrim Maryam
Character name: Porrim Maryam
District: 5
Allies in game: Sam Wilson, Initiate Fraysong, Jane Shepard, Psiionic, tentatively Clint Barton, Nick (L4D2), Kurloz Makara probably
Rebellion
Role: As a soldier or as an intel gatherer; probably the latter as she actually has quite a vast knowledge of tech stuff.
Motivations: A huge dislike for the Capitol spurred on by talking to Sam and other Tributes and discovering she's an alternative version of an Alternian, but the huge thing that will spur her on is her sister's Reaping.
Capitol
Role: Hostage, considering the amount of people in 13 who care about her.
Motivations: She wouldn't really have a choice.
Preferred side
ICly: Rebellion
OOCly: Rebellion
Re: Shuffle
Character name: Sayaka Miki
District: 9
Allies in game: She hasn't really made any close allies, but she's been buddying up with Phillip Gray, Signless, Firo Prochainezo, and Arya Stark.
Rebellion
Role: Probably a soldier.
Motivations: In her (pretty simplified) worldview, the Capitol are the worst sort of people she can imagine. No matter what, Sayaka would want to stop them.
Capitol
Role: Leverage, probably not a soldier unless she was brainwashed somehow.
Motivations: If she could somehow be convinced that the rebellion are worse than the Capitol, or if she was straight up brainwashed. Threats probably wouldn't work on her, unless they were against the people she cares about.
Preferred side
ICly: Rebellion
OOCly: Rebellion
no subject
Character name: Meulin Leijon
District: 4
Allies in game: Kurloz Makara, Terezi Pyrope, probabaly Derek Souza, Chuck Hansen, Psiioniic.
Rebellion
Role: Reporter, writer of propaganda, possible propaganda icon
Motivations: Deprogamming from her brainwashing, friends, the deeply held belief that it's right. She's going to be brainwashed before the Shuffle so that belief will be super buried and she'd need to be rehabilitated.
Capitol
Role: Reporter, possibly on the front lines, helping with propaganda as a Districter
Motivations: Super brainwashing (happening pre-Shuffle), loved ones in the Capitol (boyfriend, little sister, D4 friends)
Preferred side
ICly: Now, Rebellion; Shuffletime, Capitol
OOCly: The Capitol with a rescue/capture to D13
Bayard Sartoris
Character name: Bayard Sartoris
District: 12
Allies in game: Revas Tabris, Cullen Rutherford, Maxwell Trevelyan, Swann Honeymead, Sandy Marko, Linden Lockhearst
Rebellion
Role: Propaganda icon or morality pet.
Motivations: Bayard will always try to do what he believes is right. Even though his time period has made him more sympathetic to the Capitol than others, he believes that the suffering they inflict is wrong.
Capitol
Role: Propaganda icon, hostage.
Motivations: Bayard could be, in the short term, hoodwinked into it or talked into how it's better for everyone. Longterm, he is likely to end up sympathizing with the Rebels.
Preferred side
ICly: Capitol
OOCly: Capitol, eventually Rebellion

Re: The Shuffle
Character name: Eren Jaegar
District:1
Allies in game: n/a New player. Unless some of his canon mates appear.
Rebellion
Role: He will want to fight ,naturally. But if you want to use him as an icon you are welcome to try. He can be inspiring when he believes strongly in something. He got half of his class to join the survey corps. However, he would not do well with anything scripted.
Motivations: Taking down the twisted individuals that sanction these games, of course. I don't think anything can demotivate him from fighting those that he believes he needs to take down.
Capitol
Role: He would absolutely refuse to fight for them. But I suppose regular hand to hand fighting would suit him best. Expect him to try and get out of killing though, consequences be damned.
Motivations: Nothing unless they have someone he cares about hostage and he is new here. He hasn't had time to make friends. Bribing him will not work.
Stubborn as he is, they are going to have to play hard ball with Eren if they want him to cooperate in any capacity. Bribery won't work because his pride is not likely to allow it - even if they tell him they'll let him go. Why should he believe them? The hostage situation might work if it is a small child - he feels sorry for them but again, there's no one here he feels deeply attached to. It would be one life versus whoever he's forced to kill. Better yet, if you go that route it may be good to threaten him to send the 12 year old into the battle field in his place. That's so much worse than just killing them. OR the other out I see for Eren without him getting killed for outright defiance, is to load him up with tracker jack venom and confuse him to the point that he doesn't know who the enemy is anymore.
I'd prefer no the have my character permanently mentally crippled, however, so I'd like the effects of the trackerjack venom to be a temporay thing, even if it takes him about a month to get himself straight again and remember which faction is what.
Preferred side
ICly: Rebels of course.
OOCly: I can make either or work. I'm not picky. You will need some serious leverage on him to make him fight with the Capitol , however.
