So here's the deal, everybody. Ravea's been a Democratic Socialist nation for a while now, and a new, left-leaning Prime Minister-Leone Rifler-is attempting to create an entirely socialist state. This will prove to be the last straw for RaveCorp, the largest corperation in Ravea. The buisness has been suffering becuase of Rifle's new legeslation and a move to complete socialism could ruin them; there are fears of a turn towards complete communism as well. Rifler sets up a banquet and invites diplomats from all around the world to come attend.

As usual, all the formal pleasantries of a party are involved-The greeting of diplomats, the dancing, the drinking, the small talk-but halfway through the celebration, Leone Rifler is going to be killed. As it turns out, RaveCorp saw the party as a perfect oppurtunity to kill Rifler and install a new, more right-leaning leader to restore big buisness to what it once was. The twist here is that I am not going to decide how Rifler dies-one of you is. RaveCorp has hired out, and one of the diplomats is the assassian.

I'm allowing eight slots for this, including myself. As soon as we have all eight, I'll pick the assassian randomly and drop said player a telegram informing him/her that he/she will have to do the dirty job. That player will have RaveCorp on his/her side. The rest of us can do several things; Either run away in a panic, join the Ravean Royal Family in finding the killers(The Royalty is only symbolic nowadays, but one Rifler's cousins happens to be a crown prince. He'll take up the investagation after Rifler is killed) or think something else up.

I'm interested.
Could you provide a character template(or a format for any information you might wish?)

Sure. Might as well make it detailed.

Here's an overview of the good and the bad that may be encountered after the assassination.

The Baddies
RaveCorp Security-Although only present on RaveCorp territory, these guards are well trained and tough. Armed with submachineguns and bulletproof vests, they can be difficult to deal with.

RaveCorp Commandoes-In addition to it's security force, RaveCorp has it's own small private army that it uses to enforce it's interests. With full body armor, high powered weapons, and well-coordinated attacks, these men are exceptionally tough to beat. The size of the RaveCorp army is unknown, although it is estimated in the high hundreds and possibly the thousands.

RaveCorp Boardmen-The shadowy figures that run RaveCorp. These men are experts at corperate takeovers, and absolutely ruthless. They've hired out to kill Rifler and command a vast amount of resources. The boardmen have spies placed in nearly every branch of the government and thousands of buisnesses, so it will be tough to be free of their influence.

Ravean Armed Forces-Rifler isn't going to be the only one who will be replaced. Hundreds of officers and the top generals of the Ravean Armed Forces(RAF) will also be replaced loyal to RaveCorp, effectively placing the huge force under company control. It will be nigh impossible to try and escape the country and any 'dangerous' movements from other nations may be considered acts of war.

The Good Guys
Ravean Royal Guard-Crack troops loyal only to the Ravean Royal Family. These men have the best weapons and armor Ravea has to offer and are extremely well disiplined. Made up of veteran troops and riding battle helicopters, the Royal Guard is a force to be reckoned with. There are about 500 guards. (Note:Most will die protecting the Royal Family. Expect to be interacting with somewhere between 100 and 200 troops.)

Nexlon and the Fishers-Nexlon is a legendary figure in Modern Ravean history. At a young age, he broke into RaveCorp's secret labs and stole a large amount of experimental armor and weaponry, then became a world famous mercenary. Now, three decades later and well past his prime, Nexlon used to run the largest intellegence network in Ravea-until RaveCorp forcefully took over his company and tried to kill him. Nexlon went underground and became a respected warlord, fighting against RaveCorp's illigitimate practices, gaining a decently large following of men who christened themselves 'The Fishers.' He wears a suit of experimental armor which protects him from most shell weapons, and packs both a sword and a hell of a gun; The Fishers are also equipped with experimental weaponry. He is not easy to find, but is friendly to both Rifler's government and the Royal Family.

The Shadows-A group of government spies and assassians loyal to Rifler, these men are experts at what they do. They know almost everything about everything, and it would be useful to have them as allies. (Note:Almost all will be captured and killed in the takeover.)

Other Nations-The forces of Diplomat's nations are welcomed to get involved, but any open attempt to rescue the diplomats from RaveCorp forces will probably be seen as an act of open war. That doesn't mean that some Special Forces troops can't get slipped over the boarder, however....

BUMP out of 10.

Name: Atmag Otura
Nation: Madnestan
H: 5'6" (180cm)
W: 78kg
Eyes: Green
Build: Muscular, though not in any body builder meaning of the word.
Bodyguards: No.
Bio: A 29y-old Lieutenant-Major of Madnestan Army, first year as a diplomat.

I think that a good old BUMP will do wonders for this thread.

Name: Benjj Necros

Nation: The Zombie Alliance

Height: six feet, three inches

Weight: um...I dunno. Not much for his height.

Hair/Eye Color: yellow

Bodyguards: Yes (picture) (http://www.pen-paper.net/artgallery/d/12024-4/Mummy.jpg) Two of them will be present, each armed with battle axes.

Bio(If you would like): Benjj Necros is the nephew of Lord Necromancer, king of the Zombie Alliance. He and his older cousin, Arroo, were the only eligible nobles in the Alliance when the nation aquired the territory of Samenzwering. Lord Necromancer was in position to assign lordship of Samenzwering's one-billion+ people, and he chose the one thought to be more mature, Arroo.

Benjj still holds a grudge against his cousin for this, but later did manage to get ahold of a small fief in the Zombie heartland called Tar'Kanarr.

Lord Benjj, like all members of his family, is skilled in the understanding and practice of necromancy.

I'll give this two more days, then start it regardless of how many people we have. Everyone's Character is looking pretty good...Now I just have to decide who the assassian will be.

It's been more than two days now.

I'm fashionably late, as usual.

At least I got the thread up. More to come as well; start placing responses. The assassian has been picked as well.

You sent out the TG already?

Did you intend for the IC thread to be in the Nationstates forum rather than in the same forum as the OOC thread?

To Moonwoods:Yes.

To Theao, No. I'll have to fix that somehow.

The mods would be willing to move it, if you asked. They're generally helpful about things like that.
