Sign Up Unlucky Number [M-LV]

[Annie]

[size=1][color=red]I don't think I need to explain why this thread is rated M, but for S and G's, the RPG will contain harsh language and violence. In no way is there to be sexual situations. Flirting, joking, getting a bit emotional is good to have, but I do not want characters to engage in sexual activities.

Any questions, please feel free to PM me. [/size][/color]

[b][size=2][center][color=darkslategray]Unlucky Number[/center][/b][/size][/color]

[color=darkslategray][size=1]It all started four months ago with the assassination of Robert Leigh, head executive of the world wide trade corporation, "Western Collect". The assassination I had to carry out. I had no idea of what I had gotten myself into.

I, Brody Radley, was part of the "Stefani Organization". They are a group of gangsters that control all enterprises, business trades, drug trades, so on and so forth that flow through the city of Highrise. You wanted kilo's of cocaine, you went to them. You wanted land, you went to them. You needed protection, you went to them. You wanted someone offed, you went to them. You get the idea.

There are four divisions within the Organization. Each division was assigned a number. Division 1: Trade Center Corp., took care of the business trades. Division 2: Treasury Department, took care of the money organizing. Division 3: St. Ann, took care of protection. And Division 4: AD (Assassination District), took care of the "offing". As you may have guessed, I was part of the "offing" division. Not only was I part of it, I ran the joint. I was the man to come to for your needs. If you wanted someone as insignificant as your high school rival or as significant as your bosses executive, or a drug lord, I could handle the job. That is, if you paid me enough.

Well, on one bright, sunny afternoon, a "customer" was not satisfied with my work and complained to Roger Stefani, the grand puba of the "Stefani Organization". Said something about I caused too much drama. Understand that our organization was highly secretive, and to cause a riff in the airwaves of propaganda is chaos. So, Roger decided to relive me of my position. But, he was so rude as to keep it behind my back. I would soon find out through my last job. The assassination of the pompous Mr. Robert Leigh. Take a wild guess as to why that was my last job. I was set up. Set up by the heads of each division and the man himself, Roger Stefani.

Robert Leigh, as I told you before, was the head executive of "Western Collect". This corporation traded quite frequently with the Organization and was a pretty good ally with us. Until I was ordered to silence Mr. Leigh. I was fooled to believe that he didn't deliver over three hundred million dollars of debt money to the Organization. I had no reason to distrust Roger, so I carried out my job. Collect and the Organization started to turn on each other, then they turned on me. The Collect sent their suits after me for killing Leigh. The Organization sent my own men after me for causing so much trouble. I had become a threat to the Organization, for as long as I stayed with the org, I endangered Roger Stefani and his business.

I have been running these last four months, running from my brethren of assassins. I am trying to rectify my innocence. I am trying to stay alive. I am going after Roger Stefani and the two other men who conspired against me. Four men, four numbers.

Number 1- Roger Stefani, President of Stefani Organization
Number 2- Brian Thomas, [newly appointed] President of Western Collect
Number 3- Austin Maxworth, [newly appointed] Boss of Division 4: Assassination District

Number 4 is me, Brody Radley. I will show them why "4" is going to be their unlucky number.[/color][/size]

[color=indigo][b]A[/b][size=1]ll right. Some of you might remember this one. This is a golden oldie, and one that I really wanted to do better. So, I?m bringing it back for a new cast and crew. The goal of this RP is to kill the three numbers without being killed yourself (if you?re on Brody?s side), and it goes vice versa. I will not be using the chapter system, and I won't be in control of who gets killed off. This is sort of a "fend for yourself" idea I would like to try. No godmodding, we are humans. All fights have to be fair. If things get out of hand, then I'll have to reconsider about deciding who stays, and who goes. As always, PM me with your questions, or direct questions/concerns/suggestions to the Underground thread--no OOC commentary in your posts, please. Posts must be a minimal of three paragraphs, as per Adventure Arena standards. If you don't have much of anything to post, then by all means, don't post. I want posts to be thought out and fully focused.

There is going to be two groups, obviously. One group will consist of the Numbers. They are the ?bad guys?, and I would like one accomplice to each Number. (IE, Roger will be played by one person, and then one person can sign up to be his accomplice). Total of ?bad guys?- I?m looking for six people. If someone has to be a loner, that?s cool.

The second group is going to be called ?The Relief?. These guys are helping Brody stay alive, and get back at the Numbers. I?m looking for at least 3 people to help Brody. *Brody, of course, is going to be played by myself.*

His main weapon, though, is a Barrett M99 Sniper Rifle, shown [b][url="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b16/Blayze54/barrett_m99.jpg"]here[/url][url="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b16/Blayze54/barett_m99-1.jpg"][/url][/b] on a bipod and [u][url="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b16/Blayze54/barett_m99-1.jpg"]here[/url][/u] without.

[b]Bio: [/b]Born into the Maxworth family, a powerful family with large bluechip stock, Austin was often seen as a spoilt child, who never felt the need to go outside and play with other children. As far as he saw it, he had everything he needed right there in his house, his toys, people to look after him, food, drink, and as much of it as he could ever want.

He was a reclusive child, often locking himself in his room for weeks at a time to concentrate on one of his little "projects," whatever those were. He often missed school, saying that he was "far too advanced for the public schooling system to teach him anything worth knowing." He was an arrogant, unfriendly child.

But that changed when he was at his eighteenth birthday party, one thrown for him by his parents. Every wealthy family in town attended, but Austin was not keen. He didn't like interacting with other people, and wished that his parents hadn't invited so many people.

But he was forced to talk to a young woman, a glamorous, intelligent young woman, and he realised that she was the most important thing in his life from that moment on.

He worked hard at improving himself. He got out of his room more, spent hours in the gym, toning his weak body, training with various martial-arts instructors to keep himself fit. But by the time he had reached his peak, the woman he had fallen in love with had married another man and run away to Barbados.

Seeking solace, he headed to the bars around Highrise. He went to some of the seediest joints around, and when he was assaulted by a group of men outside one of them, he dispatched all of them quickly and with ruthless efficiency.

During this whole affair, he was being watched by a member of the Stefani Organization, one Brody Radley. Radley approached him and offered him a position in Division 4 of the Stefani Organization, the Assassination Department. Seeing no better alternative, Austin accepted.

He gradually worked his way up the ranks of the AD, and, when Radley was put on the hit list for his mess-up over the Collect Boss, he was promoted to the position of Division 4 Boss, where he is in charge of finding and "offing" Radley.

EDIT: Added a primary weapon
