OOC: Character RP, Assasination

Mahria

Hey, folks. I'm looking to start a character based RP centering around the assasination of a major Mahrian figure. Here's the story:

He's a major exec of Mahrian Defence Technologies, the dominant arms manufacturer in Mahria. On his orders, many a David has been handed a fancy sling (often at discounts) to take on many a Goliath. His idealistic meddling has earned him a great deal of emnity from different governments and non-governmental factions. Less extreme options have been exhausted-somebody wants him dead.

Here's the roles I'm hoping to have filled (more than one can be written by the same person.) If you come up with something else to be, feel free.

Boss
The entity (of almost any kind) tired of the exec interfering.

Assasin(s)
Explains itself. Could be hired, or under the direct command of the previous role.

Guards
His bodyguards and other sundry staff.

The target himself will be written by me. (I'm going to make it interesting for the guards by giving him a mind of his own.) Any takers?

ooc: Thisguy could have been responsible for selling arms to our recent Naveiran insurrection, if he had provided either chemical or nuclear weapons to that group, we would be ready and willing to send in one of our newly trained 'operative' type black ops teams to do the deed.

Hmm, how about chemical? As I've imagined it, I can't see this guy throwing around nuclear weapons. Do you happen to know anyone who might be interested in the other roles?

OOC: Chemical is good. I don't kow anyone else interested though.

I've got a few folks in mind.

What level of secruity would he have(as I'm interested in possibly taking the body guard/secruity force role)?

I'd be interested in sending in a rouge element from my government, two Ex Shadow Agency Operatives gone freelance "Kara 'Azareal" Coliana" and "Alice 'bombshell' Stuart". they go by the team name of "Mr Ikari"

Kara - 5ft 9, brown eyes, short dark hair, red stud ear rings (which are actually small c4 charges), neckless (detonator), usually found wearing leather of some sort and gives off a 'biker chick' in apperance, though on the odd occation she wears a dress she cleans up real good. seved in the Animarnia Marines for several years reaching the rank of Major, was a member of dead-6 special forces unit specialising in assault missions; became an angel for SAO Anti-terror unit upon completion of her tour; seved with distinction until she was ordered to kill a child who was the son of a known terrorist; she completed her mission but it destroyed her and she went rouge after turning Alice she killed the head of SAO and currently runs freelance work. as a person she is warm and charming; as a killer she is cold and ruthless as they come; few who know her say she is addicted to killing.


Alice - 6ft, blue eye, shoulder length wavey blonde hair, Alice lost her eye in a fight with Kara and swore revenge and when she was assigned by SAO to kill her former collegue she was more than happy to carry out the task however as she got more and more to know Kara the two developed a friendship and Alice eventually turned against the Director and help Kara kill him; she even saved Kara's life pulling her from the explosion after she shot the director; Alice like to blow stuff up a LOT this has earned her the nickname 'bombshell' and is not relation to the blonde hair.

What level of secruity would he have(as I'm interested in possibly taking the body guard/secruity force role)?

I would say that he'd start off fairly relaxed and then after a (failed! We don't want it overly short) attempt, hype it up a bit.

i am also interested in this thread, but I don't know what I want to do yet.

One thing I was thinking of was having him take an overseas trip-more opportunity for stuff to happen, you see. Would you be interested in being a "host" country? Write the civilians and local police forces that end up getting pulled in?

Animarnia, did you have a motive in mind for your group? Would you be an entirely separate team, or would you be somehow connected to Mondoth?

Money, Kara and Alice like the money and the thrill we could work with Mondorth but our teams is very freelance...; maybe someone in your government contacts "Mr Ikari" for the hit?

So to begin with, ex-cops, then moving up to ex-soldiers(and a few ex-special forces)?
The 'scale' I'm using is
Lowest: Rent-a-cop
Ex-cops
Ex-soldiers
Ex-special forces
Highest: Ex-CIA/KGB types

My people might pull Animaria in after a first attempt failed. That would be interesting because My people would probably try to take out Animarias when its over.

oh and Theao
the last part of the scale should probably go more like this
Ex-Cia
Ex-Special Forces
Ex-KGB/Spetnaz/SAS

The CIA doesn't do much of the muscle stuff any more, most of that is subbed out to SEALS and other Special ops.

Ustia here, sorry for not posting for awhile, had to respond to the peoplesfreedom thing and its very long too so that adds to the time. Cool thread idea, very original. I'm thinking either assassin or body guards. I would rather do the assassin thing but if its taken I'll be the body guards. Oh yeah thanks for the complement, that might just inspire me to be a writer. (extremely dought it in fact not happening) Might have a little trouble keeping track with this thread considering I'm in two other's currently but it probabable wont be a big problem so don't worry.

I was providing a general scaling, not a specific speration of the various elements(like seperating the branches of cop, ect).

Cool. Glad people are signing on. I think we can close it off now, and soon (within the week, cause things are hectic for me now) I'll post a link to the story itself. Sound good, lads and lassies?
Theao
05-06-2006, 01:09
So am I the secruity force?
Mahria
05-06-2006, 03:10
Yep.

Mondoth and (possibly) Animaria are the attackers, and we're not sure what the Appalacians are up to. Ustia can work out their role with the other folks, or can be a competing assasin. (We were on opposite sides of another story recently, and that could be tied in here.)
Ustia
05-06-2006, 03:54
Hmm.... I have a good idea but I don't know if it well work or not. I'm thinking that Nathen (remember him? The guy that was seperated during the drop.) was taken back to Mahria and His suit was taken by this guy and his trying to backward engineer it so he can mass produce it for the Mahrian military. So the SFC sends the team that was in the forest to kill him, destroy the suit, save Nathen (if possible) and destroy any notes or other stuff he did involved with the FFW gear. Sound good?

It does. I do quite like the sound of it. I'm assuming then that you and the other assasin team know nothing about the others existence?

You assumed right. Should make it interesting down the line when were both trying to kill him.

I'm sorry dude, but I'm worried it might get too crowded. What do other people think?

OOC: what are the gun control lawslike in Mahria, would my people be able to buy guns in country or would they have to smuggle them in?
Mahria
07-06-2006, 20:23
Depends. The laws make exceptions for small-calibre hunting guns and such, but concealable handguns and serious rifles are tightly restricted.
Animarnia

Would a Small Fishing boat carrying one or two people be able to get though and land un-noticed?

edit - whats the black market like there?
Mahria
07-06-2006, 20:33
Definitely. There's about a million of 'em. The coast guard physically can't search every single ship, and probably won't unless they see something suspicious. Customs is pretty harsh on armaments, but there are enough little uninhabited islands off the main one that you can drop off anything incriminating and come back for it later.

Edited as well: the black market is pretty hardcore, in fact. Mahria is a big shipping hub, so smuggling is pretty much epidemic. You can pick up some crazy stuff if you find the right docks denizen.

*grins and makes a shopping list* thanks for that.
