The Uprising Home Thread

The Uprising has had its fair share of challenges to deal with. It wasn't even a question of the power they were going up against – the Capitol always seemed so distant and unattainable with their numbers – but a question of unity. Everything has always boiled down to unity and preparedness. Twenty teenagers weren't about to take down a group of Peacekeepers, let alone the entire government.

Nothing was the same after they turned around from the Detention Center. The group's numbers dwindled, morale was even lower, and nobody could truly believe in any type of resistance in the future – if they were aiming to live through it, that is. Would they ever mean anything, or would they simply be names read off on a list of dead in a crushed attempt to rebel?

Nothing is about rebellion anymore. To even think it is to think of your death, and so the leaders created a smaller goal in the months after, hoping to achieve something, do anything against the Capitol. Anything at all.

But then, the Uprising has never been a unified group. Fights start every five minutes, it seems, and who would have guessed otherwise? Pissed off teenagers take up the general population, and on top of that they have nothing to direct their fight towards. No Capitol, no uprisings, no blood.

Which is why they are going back to the basics. Learn, train, become unified, take out their hostility on something tangible other than each other.

It's not rebellion, but it's something.

Rules:

• You may not apply for any of the above positions in the group.
  
• More positions will be added – don't worry.
  
• Training threads will last approximately one month.
  
• There is no posting order, however the more often you post and the more active you stay the more likely it is that your character will be promoted.
  
• In the case that a character excels, stands out, or works extremely hard in a training thread, they may be given the opportunity to be promoted.
  
• Some training threads may require a small amount of research on your part. The more detailed the information you give, the more work you put in to allowing your character to improve, the more likely it is that they will be promoted.
  
• Characters that are promoted have more opportunities to engage in other plots. Espionage, kidnapping, fighting, you name it. There are more opportunities the more you work at it.
  
• If you make your character a Mary Sue who learns instantly and excels at everything nobody will be impressed. Realism is key. It's not about how well your character does – it's how hard they work to improve.
  
• You must post at least 4 times in a training thread for your character to have successfully learned a skill.
  
• Post outside of training threads! Uprisers have lives outside of work, too.
  
• Don't stress the length of your posts. Sometimes it's difficult to make time to write, so just focus on working to make your posts as quality as possible.
  
• If you stop posting without prior notice, your character will lose their rank (if any) and be removed from the group until you sign up again.
  

You can't join any of these training threads once they're started, but if you sign up here other threads will occur in about a month, and nothing is stopping you from RPing with other Uprisers in regular threads. If you sign up before the threads are posted, you can still have your character added to the list in time.
