 Speeding through space in a damaged assault ship, alarms blaring, fires burning inside the hull, with several breaches all along the sides, oxygen running low, and there's me, sitting calmly in the captain's seat, issuing orders, with a deep panic setting in on the inside as I realize that we might not make it out of this alive.

Before we begin you must first know how I became who I am now, and how I got the stuff that I got, and some of the other experiences that I have gone through, but I will warn you right now, that my life is not a happy one, it's also not entirely a sad one, it is one filled with sad moments, lots of fear, but I will say this, you can not learn unless you experience fear, even abject terror can teach you something, Fear is the building blocks of learning.

I was born on the planet Malurok, Malurok is a planet that is one big free-for-all war, but it's more like a high stakes life or death game, there is a book that my mother used to love and used to read to me when I was younger before she was forced to leave the safe zone once I reached a certain age, the book was called The Hunger Games That book is my entire planet, except there is no choosing, everybody plays, at least everybody 8 years and older, and it has old school weapons, but also modern technology, my mother actually chose her name from that book, she named herself Katniss, which did fit because she was a little bit part cat. My people used to live on another planet, but then a species that call themselves Humans enslaved us, dropped us all off on this planet, and forced us into war, and now its all everyone knows, my mother is part cat, part fox, and part wolf, while my father, was part wolf, a trickle of dragon, and part jaguar. This is how I stack up with all that in me, I am not that tall, only about 5'5 in my species height, which is still larger than most, that's about 6 foot in human height, I am strong and fast from the jaguar and dragon blood, I have insane hearing, eyesight, and reflexes from the cat, really good smell from the wolf, and the fox in me means that my fur is sleek and sheds water really well, but one of the big things that comes from my dragon blood is the two fangs that I hide behind my lips, as I got older, I learned that when I want to look scarier I just snarl and show my fangs, and instantly people get scared. So for a quick thing about my name, so I have a dark gray almost black fur, but on my back, I have a couple of symbols that look like blood drops running down my back except that they show up because my fur in those spots have a slight azure hint, that shows up really well in the dark. Because of those spots my mom nicknamed me Azy, even though it really makes me mad though when people say it wrong, I have met people who say it like Ozy, no it's Azy, to make it simple, say the letter A, then say the letter Z extend the E sound at the end of the Z for a couple of milliseconds, now say the letters A and Z and say it a little faster, then you get Azy.

Before we continue you must know the general bases of how this fighting works, there is a ranking system, which is a combination of kills and days survived, with the latter waying in more than the former. Sponsors can send in gifts, which can range from a slice of bread to a full-on mini-nuke. It's not like its all in a forest, it was a planet that was made to be populated, then quickly was changed for our species to fight each other, which meant that its got wild areas, residential areas, and cities, even though most of it is pretty destroyed and dilapidated, but there are also construction areas, that look like they could have been abandoned yesterday. Mystery boxes do come in, little ones that are local, while every year there is a big box that comes in, and is usually a bloodbath of fighting just to get in, and inside there is always a challenge, and only the winner comes out, my dad died at one of those, but that story will come up later. Weapons can be found around and ammo can be too, but never in the same spot, and never where you would expect it, supplies can be found around, stuff to make weapons better, or stuff to help you carry other stuff, or to better yourself. Everybody has a microchip at the base of the skull, connected to the brain, there is stuff that can make them run certain programs like night vision among other stuff, the chips can affect what you see and hear, and can be used to see what you rank up on the scoreboard as we call it, as well as other things, like manuals on certain weapons, and stuff like that. It also allows the humans to track where we are, and to get some live feeds off of certain people, as long as they accept it, which can help you become more popular and get more sponsors.
