Edward Vates – 8 Months Ago
Vates held two fingers on the woman’s neck to check for a pulse. It was pointless, she was clearly dead. Her eyes were covered in fungus and so was the inside of her mouth. There was no pool of blood despite the rips in her clothing; he cuts also being covered by the fungus. It was the wife of the man he had encountered earlier in the shop. “What happened to you?” Vates whispered, baffled by the unusual scene.

If the fungus wasn’t already enough reason for Vates to now want to get away from the corpse, he then caught a glimpse of movement in the right eye. Tiny bugs of some sort seemed to be crawling out of the fungus. “Fuck!” Vates jumped, quickly backing away from the body. He wasn’t so naive as to just stand there, instead he began jogging off a fair distance before ducking into a mostly crumbled down building. There he began to check himself and his clothing for any sign of the fungus. Where was the father and his son?

Edward Vates – Present Time
Vates sat crouched in the shadows of window on the second floor of an old school. Outside were five men, two of which he recognised from Cyrus’ old group. “So Cyrus has retaken the market after all. It has been months since your encounter and now he might not be so honourable.” Janus speculated, “If he has come back this way it may have even been due to desperation. If they try to kill you what will you do? I do not think driving them away would be an option.”

Vates tried to ignore Janus and focus on the men outside, but Janus’ words were more than rational and this presented Vates with quite the dilemma. “I need to know more. I think it’s time to make some friends.” two of the new faces went into the opposite building whilst the other three worked their way into the one Vates was in. Vates quickly slipped off his backpack and removed the majority of his scavenged good, hiding them in a cupboard. With only a few tins of food and some painkillers in his bag Vates took off at a quick but quiet pace over to the skywalk between his building and the opposite one. The bridge was partially collapsed with portions of floor and walls missing and one half having collapsed down a couple of metres tearing the walk in half. Vates looked around in a brief attempt to ensure no one had eyes on him. He then ran along the skywalk, hopping over gaps as he approached them and jumping onto the roof of the second half. He went into a crouch as he landed and had to grip the surface with his hand to stop himself from falling off to the side. Regaining his balance he continued along and climbed through one of the shattered windows.

“The chief said to look out for supplies and survivors Jeff, not butcher everything in our path!” moaned the scruffier of the two men, who donned a leather duster and long greasy hair.

“Oh shut it Marvin! That dude probably had a kage, and whether the Chief wants hosts or not I’m not gonna put my ass on the line!” Jeff said defensibly, continuing to keep his sword in the Ochs stance. Jeff was wearing some makeshift armour that had been scavenged from a police uniform.

The two men were taken off guard by the sudden third voice, “I’m unarmed!”

“Who the fuck?!” exclaimed Jeff as he spun round, his sword nearly catching Marvin. The two of them looked wide eyed at Vates standing in the doorway with his hands raised.

“What’s your name?” demanded Jeff.

“My name’s Monroe. I’m with a group of five others who are back at our camp. I’m not a host and I’m not hostile. Can we talk?” Vates put on the façade of a desperate survivor in the hopes the men would try to recruit him. “I have food and pills in my bag you can have too”

Everything is good! Doing some work on a thesis and such.

Nice, what do you study?

Star Wars: Kalrus

Okuda – Corelda
Four men stood around on the landing pad in front of the Aka'jor-class shuttle. The landing pad was suspended off the Cliffside behind the palace and was one of many. There was a gentle breeze that blew dust and vent fumes lightly across the floor. All four men were wearing standard issue BlackStar armour, which consistent of all black lightweight armour, a sturdy chest piece and shoulders and some assault visor helmets. Okuda approached the pad whilst talking on his communicator. “Furdonias, its Okuda. I know you’re in a meeting right now, but I need a favour: when you get this message could you pull some strings down at my end. I need you to have someone deploy some DRK-1 probe droids to the Verasi Mountains to look for signs of the loyalist. If not a recon squad with some enhancescanners might work. I tried to acquire some recon myself but apparently I don’t pull high enough rank at Lieutenant ” Okuda spat, still insulted by the local BlackStar quartermaster.

As one of the men noticed Okuda coming up the ramp, the four of them stopped chatting and turned to greet him, almost standing at attention. “Good morning sir. Where are we off to?” asked the human man with long black hair and an unkempt stubble. This man was couldn’t quite be into his thirty’s yet and he seemed to have a brisk youthful confidence about him. Okuda nodded at the welcome.

“Corporal Jenkins. We’re off to the Verasi Mountains in search for a rebel group still loyal to the monarchy. Fuck knows why they keep their loyalty; I’d be surprised if there’s any of the inbred little shits still running around.” Okuda took a look at the faces of the other young men assembled, “Nice to see that I’m on babysitting duty. I would have thought I’d at least get a couple of men.”

Jenkins felt a mild knot forming in his stomach, “These were the only available men at such short notice. I did some background checks and made sure that each was trained, had seen battle and was well equipped for the mission. Which reminds me sir: we’ve got a couple of spare rifles on board as well as some CryoBan grenades, both of which were donated by our Coreldan counterparts.”

Despite Jenkins having acquired some extra weapons, Okuda still wasn’t impressed with the men assembled before him and Jenkins did not need to be told this. Okuda strolled over to one of the shipping crates, took a large marker and threw it to Jenkins. “I don’t care to learn your names. You’re number one, number two, three, and four” he said pointing to each man in turn. One of the men was clearly aggravated by the Corporals demeanour.

Jenkins shrugged slightly, “Does that include me sir? You know my name anyhow.”

“Number one or number five Jenkins?” Okuda asked without looking up, too focused on checking his own equipment, “And I want helmets on at all times. I’m sick your baby faces.”

((Please could you describe their destination, like their mountain outpost or what have you. And what, if any, success Okuda's request for recon yielded.))

All accepted. Note to current players though: most of you have gone for Disciple, which is fine, but remember once the rp starts that you're still a trainee of sorts.

Also, how is everyone? Whats everyone doing with their lives?

Hey guys. Hotshot, I've got a post written but could I know a couple of things please?
-Could you give me a rough idea of BlackStars rank structure (and what would perhaps be a good rank for Okuda)
-And what standard BlackStar armour might look like (I could have done this, but I thought you might have ideas already).

Thanks :)

I am mucho interesto! Will be working on a CS asap. I will maybe involve myself in the more political side of things – maybe a senator or some kind of wealthy Roman citizen who supports the assassins or something. I can’t decide between that or an actual assassin character… maybe both mixed into one. Where would you stand on me having two characters?Where would you stand on the rank of such characters? (Both a senator type lacky, and a pure assassin guy?) I guess the senator would be appropriate with a rank like deciple, but for an assassin I’d prefer either to be at assassin rank, or to be veteran about to be moved up or something :3

Just because a character is a senator and takes a political stance, doesn't mean they still can't do regular assassin things. In fact I'd hope that most characters would still do the traditional assassin things. Whilst I'm not against multiple characters, given this is an advanced-casual rp and that players will be able to create/control NPCs, players should be cautious and should have two max (unless you convince me otherwise).

As for rank, like I said, I'd rather players start lower so we can ease into the RP and progress over time. If your character's starting at Assassin rank then there's little room for progression. The GM characters are only high ranked because it works as a control device, but even TheGodfather's character has only just reached Veteran.

Name: Archimedes of SyracuseGender: MaleAge: 29Rank: None, he assists, Filius by noting down anything he says of worthy along with coming up with multiple inventions for the assassin order.Appearance: Equipment: A small dagger, he's also working on a spring ejected hidden blade for the assassins to kill range targets.Personality: Archimedes is a fun-loving, smart guy. He likes to talk to people and loves to work on his inventions. He likes to learn about the assassins and their fighting styles and whatnot even to the point where he'd like to observe them on a mission at some point.Bio: Archimedes was born in Sicily to an astronomer father. He adored his father and loved to study the things he studied, although with great difficulty. Soon enough this his admiration of his father was put to an end when he was sent to one of the first 'schools' to come about. The school was taught by one of the only men in not just Sicily, but the whole world who could read and write. Very few were accepted into the 'school' but Archimedes was lucky enough to be accepted. After leaving school at the age of 13 he went on to work at a general goods store, lifting and stacking crates. In his spare time he worked on mathmatical equations and inventions. He left the store at the age of 23 to travel the world. On his travels he became known for his inventions and knowledge of language and maths. He eventually ended up in Rome before meeting Filius. He explained his inventions to Filius and was surprised he found someone who could actually match wits with him and understand most of his ideas and equations. He eventually joined the brotherhood as chief inventor and weapons designer.Skills/Strengths: Very smart and inventive. With the right tools and materials he could probably make anything within reason. Can write, rare for the date of the RP. Can fight but very bar brawl esque and you wouldn't exactly put him with the assassin squad.Weaknesses: He's a bit of a drunkard and while he can handle his booze, he can get out of hand and drunk on the job.Hope this is alright, based on the famous Archimedes but made a few obvious changes to the inventions he may make, his date of birth and his personality.

Really interesting Character but there are a couple of things. Firstly, the hidden blade is supposedly at this point still quite basic and hard to manufacture (this is the main reason one doesn't receive one until a certain rank) and so whilst I'm not against the projectile idea, it would supposedly take a long while for your character to develop. Secondly, I don't intend to write to much about Filius (at least not at the start) and so whilst everyone is off stabbing people you might find your character ends up taking too much of a back seat. What would perhaps work best would be if you were to make a second character that you could use more actively?
