I just recently saw the final chapter of the Kill Bill saga after buying the Kill Bill Vol.2, the DVD. To say the least, I loved it. More so than the first to that matter, providing me with my favorite phrase to date, "The Five-Point-Palm Exploding Heart Technique." But beside the point, I have watched the movie about five times since I got it last week. Over and over again, I am drawn deeper into the world. Particularly, once character in that world, Budd ,Bill's dearest brother. Budd being the coolest character in my eyes, besides Bill, in the movie. His mannerism's and forms of speech intrigued me, and the fact that he was never shown fighting, drew me even deeper. You have to think, being the brother of the deadliest man in the world would have its perks. How did he fight? Was he a fraction as good as Bill or Beatrix? Did Bill school him in the White Lotus Style or use of the Samurai sword (in which I'm sure he did, seeing as how he gave Budd a Hanzo Sword)? Thats what sparked the thoughts that slowly brought along the ideas for this RPG.

The Past of the DiVAS (Deadly Viper Assassination Squad). To show what the group did before The Bride dispatched of them all. We all know they were proffecient as individuals, but what about a team? How did Budd aka Sidewinder and Vernita Green aka Copperhead fight (seeing as how neither of them where shown in true combat with the exception of an unprepared Vernita Green vs. The Bride in Vol.1)? Eventually, I divised a RPG story line that could remedy this (originally it was going to be a writing project, but I though, why not turn this into something everyone can enjoy?).

The story is based around the same thing Kill Bill was based around. Old Kung Fu and samurai movies, bust aswell, its inspired by Tarantino's first film, Resevoir Dogs. In which the character will each go threw an individual background story where it is revealed how they got involved into Bill's team of o'so deadly assassins, and why. There are two movies, that I have really based this on other the Resevoir Dogs, though. And thats the late and great Bruce Lee's "Game of Death", and "Return of the Dragon". And so comes the story.

The Deadly Vipers are called into action by Bill, who has received a request from the Boss of a large Korean mafia ring for an assassination gig. But things can never be simple, oh no. The job involves the Deadly Vipers infiltrating a 6-story pagoda hidden away in the deep green forest of Korea, inside a small, buhhdist temple/private home and a mysterious martial arts master (who is very unlike Pai Mei). The temple's monks band guns amongst the temple ground, and so the Vipers have to go into the mission armed with only their martial knowledge, fists, swords, knives, and etc. Another complication is that the martial arts master who has been called to be killed, is on the 6th story of the great pagoda. On each story of the pagoda lies a challenge in the form of a powerful martial artist, each master of another style, but all students of the great master (that is the middle four stories, the first being home to several lower level students, whom which the Vipers must cut threw).

The reasons are unknown as to why they have been asked the master be killed, but then again, the Vipers have never been about reason, only how much they will be paid. But we will know by the end of the story. Aswell to this, in true Kill Bill fashion, the out of order story and chapter system will be in use (this will be my second attempt at an RPG like this, hopefully with a different outcome). Also, while following the story of the Vipers, the story will follow the past and current lives of the students of the great martial arts master (I don't want the RP to be sparse of characters or players now do I?). It will tell of their lessons under the tutelage of the martial arts master, and their lives before hand, how they met him, and their current struggle with the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.

And I submit to you. How could I carry this out? Is it a good idea? Would you joint it? How could I improve upon it? [/color][/size]
