LSG Character Poll 2020

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Wed Apr 22, 2020 2:24 pm

Post by CaptainMeme »

Welcome to the 2020 Character Poll!

Here, you will rank characters from this year's games on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of
character arc
,
memorability
, and
overall entertainment factor
. You are encouraged to leave any characters blank if you are unfamiliar with them, or you played in the game but never interacted with them.

I repeat, since a lot of people missed this on the last one and thought you had to leave a rating for every character on the questionaire:

You can leave any question on any form blank and you will still be able to submit!


A 1 on the scale means an actively terrible character or one that lacks any presence at all, while a 10 represents a classic, unforgettable character. If you give out 1s and 10s to over half the available characters, your submission will be thrown out since it's pretty unreasonable that there's no middle ground of characters. Additionally,
a person's ranking for their own character will not be counted
(I'd love it if you'd leave your own characters blank, since it saves me a bit of effort, but it will still be manually removed if you do put a number in there).












This one will be periodically updated throughout the year as games conclude. New posts will be made whenever a game's poll is ready, and all of the currently available polls will be listed in this first post throughout the year.

Important change from last year - if you would prefer your character not to be included in the LSG Character Poll, you can message me about it and they will be removed from the questionnaire and the results.

Results will be released at the end of 2020. You can discuss your ratings but please don't kill any of the mystery :)

...and we open the poll with the first Anon game of the year, Hybrid: Hunger Games!



To reiterate what I said in the opening post, if a character is missing, that's not a mistake - it's because the player has requested we exclude that character. Please don't message me asking about it :D

Chapter 1: The Reaping


“Good Evening folks! Welcome to the Annual Hunger Games hosted by yours truly, Caesar Flickerman!”

The crowd goes wild as a very charismatic man with blue hair and a thick tan walks on stage with his emblazoned suit.

Image

“This year is so special, we’ve never seen anything like it! Not since the year of that, what did they call it, er, corodavirus? No that doesn’t sound right, perhaps coronavirus?” He looks a little perplexed for a second before deciding the second is correct. “Ah yes, that was quite a time wasn’t it?” He chuckles as the crowd laughs in tandem with him.

“Well enough about the past, we are here now in the present! A good time to be had for all. President Snow has decreed this Quarter Quell to be of epic proportions, and as such I think it’s a bit much even for me.” He says as he adjusts his wildly designed blue hair. The audience laughs and claps as he strikes a few poses and cheesy grins. “As a result, I’ve brought a celebrity to help me with commentating this year, please welcome, the encourageable, the magnificent, Effie Trinket!”

The crowd cheers as an elegant, fashionista with giant puffy hair walks out. Her perfectly sculpted cheeks rise with a smile that has the perfect amount of lipstick covering the tips in a way that give her a look of elegance. She raises a gloved hand and waves to the crowd as her grin spreads, showing a little teeth.

Image

“Oh hello dearies, what a warm welcome you’ve given me. Such a lovely introduction by such a well-mannered co-host is the most I could have expected for here. May you all be of good health and good cheer for the most festive of events is to take place. In this Quarter Quell, we have increased the number of tributes who are participating quite dramatically! Exciting stuff isn’t it?” She smiles and claps as the crowd claps and cheers with her. “Let’s go ahead and get to meeting them as the reaping takes place!”

Image

“Just marvelous! District 1 and 2 appears to have some real contenders don’t they?” She asks the crowd who murmurs “mhm” or nods in response. “And now as we move on to some other districts we-”

She pauses a moment and her face looks a little shaken a moment.

“Ladies and gentlemen. It appears that some of the tributes that were reaped died from starvation before getting onto the train. That’s quite unfortunate, so before we show you other districts, let us pay tribute to those who unfortunately didn’t have the stomach to even make it onto the train.”

Do I REALLY suck? That's up to you to decide.

Retiring from LSG's and Mish Mash, for the most part. If you want to contact me, I suggest going outside and enjoying what the world has to offer, instead.

Definitely DID suck, in the end...Probably.

Chapter 2: An Uprising


After the debacle on losing some of the tributes before they even got on the train, Caesar seems to look back at the camera and give a reassuring smile. “Yes yes, folks, quite the predicament we found ourselves in. But never fear, the Capitol has sorted everything out. We now have them back on the train and back on schedule!” He holds up his hands and grins as the crowd cheers. It seems he has helped restore faith that the games are back on schedule.

Image

“Wonderful, splendid.” Effie says as she claps a bit before sitting down. “Well, my dearest friend, maybe we should talk to the crowd a bit about the candidates this year? They were finally all reaped after all.” She suggests with a knowing nod.

“That does seem to be something we should do. But first, I’d like to talk about you, if you don’t mind?” Flickerman turns to her and looks at her. “An exclusive interview, you might say.”

Image

“Oh, well that just sounds lovely.” Trinket replies. “What did you have in mind?”

“For starters, let’s talk a bit about your childhood. Something that you’ve kept well hidden from the public all these years?” Flickerman raises an eyebrow and chuckles.

“Oh heavens, that just won’t do. A lady doesn’t just open up all of her secrets for the world to know.” Trinket says before pursing her lips. “I could very well just turn this whole thing back on you. It’s not like you have any written works about growing up in the Capitol.”

Flickerman blinks and then laughs. “Why yes, I do believe you are correct. Maybe it’s best if we don’t go into either of our backgrounds. Sounds like we are just a bit too private for that.” He says. “Though I do hear you have eyes for a certain Captain Meme Malkon?”

Trinket wrinkles her nose. “I’m sorry Flickerman, but you know very well I won’t stand for this slander. That’s who you are pursuing!” She says pointing an accusatory finger at him.

Image

“Ah, yes well…” Flickerman looks around clearly not having expected the tables to be turned on him. “Nevermind any of that, how about we go back to the tributes then?”

“Yes, let’s.” Trinket replies looking like her frilly garments have been ruffled.

“In any case folks, it appears that...oh my, a bit of an uprising is occurring in District 8. The tributes from the districts prior have met a blockade, and it appears some of the tributes are being used as sacrifices to help remove the blockade. Oh no it’s quite the bloodbath!” Flickerman says looking at the screen.

The entire crowd is a bit perplexed on how to respond given the sudden, dynamic change in tone from the hosts. But they let out a hesitant gasp as if being cued by some mysterious teleprompter.

“Oh, those poor dearies. I wish I could show them all of the comfort of the Capitol myself, but it appears some of them just weren’t able to have that pleasure. Let us mourn those who fell to remove the barricade from those insurgent rebels!” Trinket declares as those in the audience chimes in with some cheers, starting to move on from the weird rant earlier.
