Katniss
I picked up The Hunger Games trilogy a while ago and was instantly hooked. I have a special place in my heart for anything post-apocalyptic and the story about Katniss Everdeen sucked me in and made me power-read the whole thing.
I immediately thought that the story would make a great video-game as well as on-screen adaptation. I had hoped for a TV-series, but as it turns out the books will become a movie, release to be expected March of 2012. I’m guessing if we ever get to see a game based of these books, it’ll be around the same time.
However, I’m not known for my patience, so I spent a full day hunting down gear in SL that would transfrom Kissowa into Katniss.

I modeled my Katniss after a mix between the bookcover and what I saw in my mind when I read Suzanne Collins description of Katniss and the outfit she wore for the Hunger Games. It took a while to find the right things and I ended up having to make my own mockingjay pin, since I couldn’t find one even remotely similar anywhere on the grid. Just you wait though, soon enough I’m sure we’ll see whole Katniss (and Peeta) avatars.
Just as if she knew what I was up to, Codie announce on plurk that same day that she was working on a new project. She posted some images and I immediately thought of it as cornucopia from the book. Or at least that’s very close to how I imagined it. The project is called Rust and is a Fallout inspired RP’ish location for us post-apocalyptic fans. It’s not yet released to the public, but I’ll let you know as soon as it’s done. It’ll probably be my new hang-out. (Oh, who am I kidding, I’ll live there.)
