Assassination Attempt (OOC/Sign Up)

DMG
19-02-2007, 21:39
This it the Sign-Up and OOC thread for an RP I want to create.

About the RP:
The RP will revolve around an attempted assassination of Prince Ali and its repercussions. The RP will start in the thick of it with the assassin making his first strike and either failing or being thwarted. This could be anything from a poisoning to a rifle shot, which we will need to decide before the RP starts. The first two or three posts (total) will be setting the scene, and then BAM, the attempted assassination post. The assassin will subsequently escape and the RP will begin in true. The main part of the RP that follows will be about trying to hunt down the assassin and bring him to justice as well as the assassin trying to complete his mission.

The assassin's employer/country will not be known yet (and possibly never).


What I'm Looking For:
A few experienced and dedicated RPers that are willing to RP for the story and not for themselves. Be realistic - this is completely MT and there won't be much technology involved. Also, your characters won't have these great connections that can give them anything they need including money and information.

As for characters, I will need at least one assassin and then there is a variety you can chose from. Some ideas:
-Royal Guard
-Another Assassin* (I will limit this to one only)
-Reporter
-Law Enforcement Agent (various kinds)
Or you can think of others

If you want information about certain types of characters like a Royal Guard or law enforcement agency (e.g. if you want to be the equivalent of an FBI agent), ask and I will give/create information.

*Note that if you wish to be the other assassin, you will be working with the first assassin. What the relationship between the two assassins is is up to the two of you. However, know that there will be only one source for the assassins.


About Eborall: Eborall is quite warm and pleasant with an average temperature in the mid seventies (Fahrenheit). The majority of the island is covered in rolling grasslands, save for one tall mountain in the north and the sandy beaches that surround it. It is quite a tourist attraction as the beaches and plains have been described as some of the most beautiful anywhere in the world. There are a plethora of resorts, casinos, hotels, and other entertainment venues that pull in countless millions every year, making tourism one of its two biggest (and virtually only) industries. The other major industry is exporting rare jewels and elements that are found in the deep mines of the island.

The capital of the island is Tia'dar Dieux, a metropolis that sits on the beautiful southern shore. Eborall has many little towns scattered about the island where people can be much more secluded if they want it so. Tia'Dar Dieux is the major port of Eborall, and is connected to its main naval base. The island has seven small military bases in total: three Army, Two Air Force, and Two Navy.

The ruler of Eborall is Prince Ali of the Royal Family, who was born on the island shortly after its colonization by DMG. The Royal Family is made up of four members: Prince Ali, Princess Elisa, their mother Princess Cordelia, and their father who remains a mystery to the public (and nowhere to be found). Prince Ali is twenty-four currently and has done a remarkable job of ruling the island for the last four years. He took over the 'throne' at the appointed age of twenty. The Supreme Ruler decided that it would be interesting to continue the tradition of making Eborall different from DMG and thus created a royal family (this family). When Prince Ali was born the Supreme Ruler decided that he would be the first of the Royal Family to rule at the age of twenty. The Royal Family was treated just like their title would imply, royally; they were built a massive and spectacular Palace and surrounding complex and given the best raising any child could hope for.

History of Eborall (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=454934)

Please read the information about Eborall. If you have any questions, do ask so that I can explain.

Last Notes
Two requests:
-Please read all of this
-Please ask questions
I tossed this together pretty quickly and it is kind of sloppy with a lot of missing pieces.

I will confirm/deny people and their characters. Also, I might ask you to make a few adjustments to make them fit better.

I will be controlling a lot of NPCs, but with a lot of them you can create/control them just as well. There are some character who I will ask you not to control such as the head of the royal guard or the princess... obvious ones like that.

That seems to be it.

I am interested in this. What kind of agencies are you looking for or allowing? Are there specific ones we can be or can we have our own? I don't know what I want to be, possibly the other assasin but I'm not sure.

I am not "looking for" "agencies." All of the characters involed with be rom Eborall (a colony of the Dominion) except for possibly the Assassins (TBD later). However, if someone wants to play a law enforcement agent from Eborall, that is fine... If say, one wants to be an FBI agent, say so and I will create/detail the equivalent agency in Eborall. Or one could be a cop, etc.

I would enlist my reporter to this game:

Name: Tamian Krs
Age: 21
Appearance: 1.93, 76 kg, black eyes, black hair. Not Adonis, but it will do.
Occupation: TvRev Freelancer
Equipment:
PDA (called RIK)
Utillity belt: small belt with lego-like pieces for common household items like screwdrivers, spare batteries, and such.
The LAK, which looks like a stick used for presentations (meaning it’s a pen-size, but can expand). It’s made of a very resistant alloy, and, when extended, can be used for self-defense. When not extended, looks like a rather bulky pen, and can be used for writing. It has a small range tracking device
Cris, a revterran Cat
Bio/Personality: Tamian Krs (pronounced like Cars) is by any means a normal revterran: tall, slender, funny, but serious when required, with a particular charm and almost a french accent, but pleasant. At school he learned self-defense and he likes height places and history lessons. He loves filming normal people with candid camera and using this in his shows, as he believe like this you can really interview someone.
Else: After the country opened itself to the world, the Revterran National Television employed freelancers that would travel to interesting countries and bring back information for a show about the world. The NSEarth being as we all know it, the show was very popular. This is how Tamian arrived in Eborall. He finished his background check on the country, and he was scheduled for an interview with the prince.
A word about Cris. A normal revterran cat, somehow smarter then the normal cats, trained to understand simple comands. Usually it has a tracking device and can be equipped with a minicam. Revterrans and their cats grow attached one to another, so Cris will usually return to Tamian at the end of the day.
These reporters are less news-making men, and rather history-loving, sightseeners with a passion for tv. Tamian is no exception.

Edit is fine, but remember Eborall is not a country but rather a colony.

Name: J. welsh
Age: 19
Appearance: short and i mean short and not very noticably with bluish green eyes, and a black trench coat
Occupation: mabey a detective?
Equipment: heavy pole and short sword
Bio/Personality: has fits of uncontrolable rage and plays good cop/bad cop with himself but is very estemmed and quite an aristocrat when you get to know him, has secrets in his past he is not willig to share
Whatever else:may be interested bit new but dedicated

About your character:
-He doesn't have a first name...
-His equipment is a pole and sword? This is a modern society...
-A detective? At age 19? No.
-Are you trying to say he is bi-polar?

However, more importantly, I am worried about you as a writer. This post does not boost my confidence at all. There are numerous spelling and grammatical errors as well as basic annoying things like not using capital letters.

You are on the fence...

Well...

I don't have a rational IC reason to have anyone of my men go out of their way to decapitate your government...

But I do have some rogue mercenaries/gang/terrorists that hav a considerable number of resources devoted to assasinations for hire.

And they'd do missions I usually wouldn't even touch with a 1 mile long IGNORE stick...

Now I just need someone to hire them...

The assasination team (between 5 and 10 members) is rather thrown together, and I haven't really worked out their bios completely yet.

Except I do know their 'squad' leader goes by the name 'Pick'.

As for my last runs at assasination, read the many semi-failed attempts I made at Griffencrest.

I'll get him someday...

That or I just make up a character purely for this thread, and if he lives through it, I'll set him on a storage shelf someplace

Ah, assassinations. Got to be the thing we're best at. If you'd have him, we have one ex-Special Unit man who is...shall we say, less than keen about our nation.

I believe he'd jump at the chance to trigger a war between our two nations.

@PROHT: It certainly won't be a team that is trying to assassinate him - just a man or two.

@Zonon: Thanks for contributing nothing and making a completely unrelated post.

Hmm.... I might just end up writing a short story for this instead of making it an RP. I will make my decision tonight and post it.

My experiance shows that making a solo assasination attempt is just screaming to be a failure, mostly due to insufficient recon, no backup, and no emergency extraction points.

IE: It's a suicide strike...

Hence the 'grassy knoll' theory for the JFK assasination.*

*Plus one would expect a marine** to be a better shot (one of his shots clear missed the motorcade and lodged itself in a bridge abutement) or for their basic trainingto weed out the security risks when they gave him a job at a radar station that happened to see the actual altitudes that the U-2/TR-2 flew at. Or when they based him in the communist district of Japan...

**Not sure if dead ones can be safely reffered to in past tense for fear they may come back.

ooooo....kay....
enough of going on consperacy theory tangents...
=====
Hmmm... so that means I'll have to come up with a character that is willing and crazy enough to try and kill one of the top 100 hardest to kill people on NS... on his own...

Plus, McPsychoville made an offer to try killing the target.

That is kind of the point - he isn't supposed to succeed. If he did, there wouldn't be an RP.

I saw.

I will render my decision within the day.

I've decided to just write this as a short story - Sorry all (i.e. barely anybody).

This is no longer a sign-up or RP.
