[center][img]https://images.cooltext.com/5641470.png[/img][/center] [hr] [b]Quick Insight:[/b] The main inspiration for this Role-play is from true crime podcasts and public cases along with T.V. series like [i]Criminal Minds[/i], [i]NCIS[/i], [i]Law and Order[/i], and much more. This will not be a completely GM-guided RP. Inspiration from the Role-Players about cases/events is always welcome! [b][color=9e0b0f]Warnings[/color][/b] Only welcoming 18+. If you have triggers/sensitivities to certain topics, especially topics that revolve around true crime and crime shows, I would advise you not to participate in this RP. [hr] [h2]Rules[/h2] in and out of character ⚀ First and foremost, listen to all established site rules: This is self-explanatory, I know, but I feel like it still needs to be stated. Respect and listen to all staff members of RPGuild. ⚁ Do not metagame/god mode/or whatever you might call it. If we have an OOC discussion and it is not stated otherwise, that means your character/while you are writing IC does not know that particular information. Ruining the fun for everyone else makes it not fun for you or others. ⚂ GM and Co-GMs always have the last and final decisions. That's final. Please do not argue with the decisions that are made. You can privately discuss with the GM or/and Co-GMs about the decisions made (which will not be a public matter anyways) to dispute. ⚃ Replies will follow the unspoken casual guidelines. If you do not know what this means, it means no one-liners. Please reply with at least a paragraph (or five+ sentences). Another unspoken rule is to wait for at least one person to post in between your posts. [b]Post Deadlines[/b] will be requested to make at least one post every 2 weeks. ⚄ A world of reality or a slice of life. This means your character cannot just do anything and everything and not face consequences. This world will be similar to ours (or portrayed as similar to how our world is reflected through the TV series this is based on the most), meaning that consequences can be met by what your character does even in their free time, alone. ⚅ Participate! I do not just mean post one post by the bi-weekly deadline. Share your ideas. Not everything will be accepted or incorporated, but I and I bet others will love to hear the ideas you have. Maybe a future crime scene investigation? Or two characters maybe having a past and didn't realize they went to the same high school or whatever. It can be a small world out there sometimes. Just have fun and be creative! [b][color=9e0b0f]Instant Warning Rule:[/color][/b] Do not post graphic 18+ images/content. I understand that we are in a crime drama role-play, but others on this site do not wish to dip in here and see such content. I know we are all probably Criminal Mind, NCIS, Law and Order, or other TV series junkies who have seen it "all" in a sense, but we have to respect the site's rules and other people's innocence of not watching what we do. Everything has to be written out. You can post an alleyway scene without the victim being in there. It is okay. Everyone gets the reference point. [hr] [hider=Character sheet] This is just a reference to what you need in your character sheet, but you are not limited to only these items. First (Middle/M.I. optional) Last ───────────── Titles/nicknames Career Title Nicknames ───────────── Past experience Past career experience Why were you hired/recruited? Examples of how they interact with people (make some up or wait for the roleplay): Fill this spot in while past experiences or wait till the roleplay starts. This will help people understand your character with little snippets of who they are and how they think. Interactions/relationships: Acquaintances Put acquaintances here and why Situational Put situational here and why Friendship Put friendship here and why Family Put family here and why Romanticships Put romantic ships here and why Background information Do as much as you want and leave as much hidden for the surprise! [hr] I require relationships (even if they are simple and basic), because we might end up having your character stuck in a sticky situation if an ex-con or escapee finds out someone they know. [/hider] [hr] [h2]Plot[/h2] We will be doing this by "chapter" in which a chapter is focused on one plot. Once the chapter is over, a new one will begin. Not all chapters will be about criminal investigations. They will vary significantly. This team will have NCIS level jurisdiction, meaning, they will sometimes operate outside of the U.S. to make this Role-Play a tad more interesting. [hr] [h2]Characters/NPCs/and their roles[/h2] [b]Agency[/b] Behavioral Analysis Unit out of Baltimore, Maryland.

Players can double-role and be a special agents while having the title of Chief Medical examiner or medical examiner assistant. We will have to see the outcome when interest arises. [hr] [b]Entrance Plot Ideas[/b] [hider=Plot Ideas] 1. The victim, a male in their 30s, was killed in a warehouse around dusk with a baseball bat. The victim did not work in the neighborhood and no one can identify him. The murder weapon was a metal-hallow bat bought from a sports shop within the area and was found in a dumpster around the corner. Potential evidence includes fingerprints and drug paraphernalia. Evidence for fingerprints is an unknown status and a police officer confessed up to touching the weapon without gloves. Location - Washington D.C. 2. The victims, two females in their 20s, were found in a parking garage around dusk with a gun. Bullets are still left in the chamber, yet the gun and bullets found on the victims would not match the entry or exit wounds. Assumption of the actual murder weapon being with the killer. Potential evidence includes multiple shoe prints formed in blood and DNA samples under one of the victim's nails. Looks like she fought back. Location - New Orleans. 3. Alive Victim case - the individual has unknown age, birth date, and identification. Showed up naked in the middle of Salt Lake City, Utah. The individual seems to be able to communicate just fine. Local Police have stated that the individual has brought up awful descriptions of people in cages being treated like dogs or animals. [/hider] [b]B.A.U. Important Information[/b] [indent][u]The Behavioral Analysis Unit is located in Baltimore, Maryland.[/u] This specific unit is a federal task force that specializes in investigating and solving serious and complex criminal cases. A unit like this is not a stranger to having a mix of military and civilian personnel, as well as expertise in forensics, psychology, and criminal profiling. The unit has advanced technology, data analysis, and traditional investigative techniques to gather evidence and track down suspects. Typically, the B.A.U. works at the national level, and has the resources and jurisdiction to handle high-stakes and high-profile cases. Traditionally, the B.A.U. would be working inside of the national level, but they have been involved in oversea cases. This happens when allied countries need advanced technology and a specialized team. [/indent] [hr]
