During the course of The Darkness II Jackie Estacado granted darkness powers to four individuals who, in return, did jobs for Jackie in New York. These individuals gained their powers from four darkness relics. Outside New York Jackie is giving relics to a number of other individuals, these relics imbued the wielder with supernatural abilities. This RP will take place all throughout the entire state of New York as Jackie, now don of the Italian Mob, seeks to expand his territory outside the boundaries of the city.
Some of the RP will take place inside "the compound" where Jackie's new darkness wielding bad-asses live together, other parts will take place during missions during which you are sent to various major cities in the state to do anything from killing low-level gangsters who are roughing up Jackie's guys or stepping on his toes to retrieving Darkness relics that have shown up in the state.
Your character will be given a relic by Jackie in exchange for their services, this relic will be a weapon of your choosing with an ability, also of your choosing. Each ability will have three levels to it that you will be able to get by roleplaying in the missions with the others. Once you gain a new level in an ability you can still use the previous levels too.
The abilities I'm thinking of right now are:
- Gun Kata (firearms only):
-level one: Lets you shoot through walls for a short time.
-level two: Increases your accuracy to super-human levels.
-level three: Lets you see through walls.
- dark swarm:
-level one: Lets you summon a swarm of stinging insects to distract an enemy temporarily.
-level two: Lets you summon multiple swarms.
-level three: The insects become flesh-eating.
- summon darkling:
-level one: Lets you summon a darkling that will suicide bomb an enemy.
-level two: The darkling can now either suicide bomb or fight for you bare-handed.
-level three: The darkling will now use weapons to fight for you and explode upon death.
- dark shield:
-level one: Lets you summon a weak shield that will protect you from attacks but will break after taking too much damage for the cost of a human heart.
-level two: Lets you summon multiple shields for you and your allies. each shield costs one human heart.
-level three: lets you summon one virtually indestructible shield for the cost of ten human hearts.
- demon arms:
-level one: Lets you temporarily grow a demon arm that can kill enemies from your back.
-level two: Lets you grow a second demon arm and they last a little longer.
level three: The demon arms will last indefinitely if you give them a steady supply of human hearts.
- dark step:
-level one: Lets you run on walls or other surfaces (like water) for short bursts.
-level two: Lets you jump long distances.
-level three: Lets you teleport short distances.
When naming your chosen relic remember that it is ancient so use ancient sounding names. Try using biblical terms or names that sound like they belong to angels/demons or other important ancient figures.
If your relic is a gun it has to be a flintlock pistol or rifle because its a relic, it is really, really old.
Crossbows and other bows will also count as guns and can have the gun kata ability.
