Sign Up Assassin's Code: Extreme violence

[Drizzt Do'urden]

[center][FONT=Arial Black][SIZE=4][COLOR=red][U]The Code of Assassins[/U][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/center]

[LEFT][FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#ff0000]The simple rules we have always lived by, well that was until a year ago. The code is a list of rules that govern the 3 "dens". It was simple to live by it eliminated competition, and allowed the 3 dens to live in harmony. [/COLOR][/FONT][/LEFT]

[FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#ff0000]It would probably just be easier if I give you the rules stated:[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3][COLOR=#ff0000]1. No assassin is permitted to cross into the territory of another without permission, even on personal business.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3][COLOR=#ff0000]2. No contracts are allowed to cross borders without paying a fee of 1/4 the contract fee to the ruling den.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3][COLOR=#ff0000]3. No combat between members of different dens, excluding the annual "showcase tournament" held every year. In this case though all combat is to be done with non-lethal ordinance.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3][COLOR=#ff0000]4. If assassins find themselves in the neutral zone on personal business they are permitted to speak, as long as it does not involve den business. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3][COLOR=#ff0000]5. If assassins find themselves on the same contract in the neutral zone, they are to immediately abort contract and the dens involved are to work together to investigate and terminate the employer for violating contract terms.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3][COLOR=#ff0000]6. If an assassin leaves his/her den, they are not permitted to join another den. They're infact not permitted anywhere outside the neutral zone on penalty of death. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3][COLOR=#ff0000]7. Any assassin that finds an ex member of any den will be tasked with swiftly ending that person(s) life regardless of situation. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3][COLOR=#ff0000]8. Two assassins, from different dens, will not be permitted to be involved intimately. Unless they leave their respective dens and stay inside the neutral zone. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3][COLOR=#ff0000]9. If fraternization is suspected, it must be reported to the den master at once and investigated by the den master himself.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3][COLOR=#ff0000]10. In the event a den violates the boundaries it has been assigned by this treaty, the other houses must act and remove the afformentioned house's den master from service.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#ff0000]That was it, 10 rules that governd the assassin society. For over 500 years the 3 houses have lived in relative peace. Never before has the charter been violated, that is until a year ago.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#ff0000]3 rouge assassins left their dens to start lives in the "neutral" zone. A small area between all the territories. They quickly joined forces and attempted to start their own den inside the neutral zone.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#ff0000]Needless to say they were quickly smashed, but the problem was they were killed in such a way they couldn't be identified. Each den suspeced the others of the treachery.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#ff0000]Obviously they tensions grew and grew until one day it was too much and everybody snapped. There was war, contract violations, so many deaths over the course of the past year.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#ff0000]That's where I came in. Two other assassins in two other dens took over our dens and established a relative peace. However, I'm quickly growing to suspect treason. I don't want war to break out, but I keep getting reports of contract hits already dying before we arrive. Reports of unknown figures inside our boundaries. Supposedly the other Dens are experiencing the same problems, but I'll just chalk it up to the fact that...well the fact that I'm violating the boundaries too. Fair is fair afterall...[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=black]Okay that's the premise for our story. Everybody will be an assasin, and 2 people, besides myself, will be the den masters. Each den will be named after the last name of their master.[/COLOR]

I will be choosing the masters out of ther perspective sign-ups. Everybody else will be divide up into their dens by me. If for some reason we don't get very many people interested, we'll split into two dens.

What we will be starting out as is fufilling contracts that I assign by PM. I'll be giving the masters contracts and they will be dividing them between their subordinates. Since I want to keep the...treachery afoot I will be double booking targets (I'll let those involved know by PM who will arrive too late, and who will be making the kill).

This is supposed to be fun, so the methods of killing each mark will be given, but the carrying out will be completly up to you. Such as...

___________

In Valkrie (not a real name I'm using) slums, a merchant named Balise needs to die. I want to send a message so make sure it's done in public during his noon walk in the town square.

This will be a premise, some will be a little more detailed but this will be the most general. As I said some will also be followed by...

(Arrive after the deed has been done, be carefull the city watch is on the lookout) or

(You will be invading another den's territory, make sure you kill quickly and avoid being seen) or

(You arrive as another is killing the man. You tail him until he crosses the border of ________'s territory)

There will be down time for "socializing" between people, and even if your bestest friend in the world as been put in a rival den (I wouldn't do that now would I?) you can visit in the neutral zone. Just keep the talk about den activities down, you wouldn't want somebody reporting you would you?

Okay Sign-ups

Are you interested in becoming a den master? (Yes or No)
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance: (Picture or GOOD description)
Favored weapons:(Sometimes you will be given certain weapons to use)
Personality:
Biography: (How you came to become an assassin, was it because of a traumatic experience, found and raised by your den, just like killing...etc?...If you stated that you were interested in becoming a den master how/why did you finish off your old master. Power hungary? Wanted peace within the dens? Just an ass?)

I'd like to get this started relatively quick, unless I change my mind we'll get started around...May 16th. Don't wait too long to sign-up if we get a lot interested we'll start earlier, though sign-ups will continue for awhile.

Since there will be a lot of PM's in this, please only sign-up if you can give 2-3 posts a week. If you have something coming up (summer vacation, finals, or just something that'll keep you away) let me know before hand so I can give the contracts to others.

Den masters should be those who are relatively sure they don't have anything going on. Of course nobody is actually sure, but if a den master takes a vacation they will be replaced until they return, also if a den master isn't active for two weeks without letting me know they will be replaced and a hit on their characters (by guess who?)

This is meant to be a fun RP so if you take yourself seriously don't apply.
