"Assassin? Scum is more like it." An old man took a sip from a wine glass as he watched the television. The he seemed stressed, his large frame silhouetted by the light of the TV and the fireplace. "He's probably just another two bit thug who got a hold of his fathers pistol." He brushed his white hair aside as a picture came up on the screen. A drip of sweat hung from his brow "I'm just happy that Mr. Berton is in good health." The the man being interviewed replied to a question. The old man, Mr. Dean Ethermore, pressed his forefinger and thumb to the bridge of his nose and shook his head. "Unbelievable." He turned off the TV, reached for his phone and held down a number. The speaker rang once then was picked up. "Stuart's dead. We're going to have to pack up shop again." A voice on the other side complained. "Yes everything. Dispose of anything we don't need." The old man hesitated. "And find a replacement for the young man." He hung up the phone without another word and sat there looking down at it for a moment. Then he picked it up and slammed it down again, again, and again before placing it nicely back on it's perch. leaning back in his chair he reached for his glass of wine again and spoke. "I'm getting too old for this." He downed what was left in the glass, stood and made his way over to his desk. There he pulled out a key and opened a filing cabinet. 15 folders were inside. He picked one up and opened it. Inside was a picture of a young man sitting on a park bench all smiles. Below it read Stuart Gert. "He was a good kid. Too good for this job." Dean thought. He flipped through the pages of the file as he meandered his way across the room to the fireplace. The white haired man thought stopped and stood at the hearth of the fireplace till he reached the last page. "Guess your number 23 Stuart." He closed the file and threw it into the fire. The pages lit up and curled back turning to black. Then to ash. Dean turned, picking up his wine glass, leaving the room. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This RP will be about a contracting office that hires a select group of assassins to complete jobs. I will be acting as the head of the department and present issues to be resolved by your O/C and other participants. In other words, I will be the world you are acting and living in, in addition to being your boss. The boss doesn't partake in missions, he simply hands them out. The setting will be a densely populated city. Being assassins stealth is... recommended. This will be an organized RP. There will be taking turns acting and reacting. If a participant fails to reply for the span of a week, their character will be put into my hands. Death is a very likely outcome of this. Oh yes, death will be a part of this. It keeps the story lively and colorful. If you wish to rejoin after a character of yours dies feel free to add a new character. There will be minor Sci-Fi elements, however I want to leave physics in tact. I will have the final say if there are any questions as to whether an action is valid or not. What I'm saying is, BE REALISTIC, and do your best to not be overpowering. A good rule of thumb would be that a well arms SWAT team should present a life threatening challenge. If I disagree with something feel free to plead your case. On the note of overpowered I'd like to give some examples as to how gear will be limited to prevent OP characters. Maybe you have an armored suit. However that suit can't have 30 different things it can do. You may have the ability to cloak/become invisible. However the NPC's can still here you. Maybe even smell you. You can have cybernetic limbs. However physics will still apply. If you have a cybernetic arm and you lift a car with it, you'll break your back. You can have enhanced eye sight. However you can't see through 5 buildings and pick out a single human. Stating to catch my drift? I hope so. As far as weapons go that's entirely up to you. Just know that civilian casualties should be avoided, and if someone sees you walking around in the streets with a rocket launcher they'll probably call the cops. Oh, and now pulling a rocket launcher out of your back pocket like it was always there. Like I said, I want this to be as realistic as possible. XD Let me know if you are interested. This will be my first RP on this site, and I'm hoping it is a pleasant experience. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
