Russian Roulette

Russian Roulette

0 INK

Looks can kill. Yet so can knives and daggers. And when the two are combined in a deadly masquerade, we shall see who comes out alive amidst the lies, secrets, and betrayal, who shall emerge victorious in this never ending death waltz.

833 readers have visited Russian Roulette since November Rain created it.

Introduction

Amariss has long been a kingdom of secrets and this time is no exception. Queen Tanya has kept her secrets pent up for too long, the alliances and pacts between the bordering kingdoms and estates tangled in a web of lies. You are an undercover assassin, sent to find out these secrets. Each one of you works for a different duke, duchess, or royal family member. Be careful; to be caught would be a fate worse than death. There is no room for mistakes; you cannot be caught by the real lords and ladies, nor can you be uncovered by another assassin. Each one of you has been sent to a masquerade, to meet the people you are assigned to spy on and to collect information. Further your relationship with this person through other events and hope that they may divulge more of their secrets with you. Acknowledge everyone, speak of nothing, and trust no one. You have entered the dark side of politics, this deadly game of chess; kill or be killed.

And now...
ღ Ranks ღ

ღ Lord/Ladies: these are the true upper class people. They are the players behind the game of chess. They know what they want and will take steps to get it. They have the money and status to do so, but their image must remain untainted. There must be a reason behind their every move (ex// kill this person because they were in the way of that lord/lady moving up in status, marrying another person to gain wealth or secrets in the kingdom, infiltrating to find info to gain something possessed by another person, etc.)
ღ Assassins/Mercenaries: people hired to kill. They are paid based on how well they do their jobs and are expendable at anytime, both as employees as well as their life. Not all need to have a dark past. They all work for separate lord/ladies/dukes/duchesses, each with a mission given by their employer.
ღ Queen Tanya (me.. ^^” ): the reigning monarch; she is the defining line between chaos and peace in the kingdom. Her secrets are hers alone and with her she carries much valuable information for wealth, status, and magic/fantasy.
ღ Servants (up to 4): they can be good or bad, helpful or hindering. They are the quiet observers in the background, who might do anything for a few scraps of bread, or be foolishly loyal to the very end. They are often the runners, the secret bearers who transfer messages.

Toggle Rules

1. Everyone MUST sign up a lord/lady and an assassin/mercenary. If you want, a servant can take the place of one of the above. And try to keep the genders even. ;)
2. Be respectful at all times, both in and out of character.
3. power playing, god modding, or any other such actions are absolutely not tolerated. I’m very firm with this rule; I do not want squabbles amongst the players.
4. Please keep things active; at least one or two posts daily, even if the drama dies out. There will be lulls in the RP, but try to keep the ball moving. I will message you a warning if you don’t post after a while.
5. Please put a paragraph per post; merely describing what “so-and-so did” can be a bit boring at times.
6. Your character may not be 3rd person omniscient. This is an RP based on secrecy, and although the plans must be laid out for others to read, it does not mean that the person being targeted will know.
7. To kill another player, you must first ask permission to do so, and there must a reason/event that happens because of it, good or bad.
8. Romance is definitely allowed; it adds to all the complexity of the plot. ;) Fighting and drama is also allowed. However, don’t be nasty to one another; remember that there is another player behind the screen. And please, try not to be over sensitive about what the people say; it’s an RP built on hate and lies, there are bound to be some reclusive characters. I will stop it if it gets too borderline catty, though.
9. Try your best with correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I understand that we’re all human and we all make mistakes, so I don’t mind a few misspelled words, but keep it readable. The semicolons, periods, space bar, and indent button are your best friends. :P
10. Swearing is allowed, though please censor it and try to keep it to a minimum
12. Have FUN!

Re: Russian Roulette

Heya! (:

Malan, it'll be a lot of what you mentioned. It's meant to mimic the secret alliances, the power struggle, and the dark side of royalty, etc. Since it's an RP, it's a bit difficult to keep secrets, but I think it should be okay.. XD As for every player being in a different castle, it would depend.. I don't think the lords and ladies had castles, more of estates maybe. As for the assassins, they live where they choose to be. Whether that's on their own or with their employer, you decide. :)

Rosie, yup. ^^" I'm just trying to keep the number of assassins and nobles equal. ;P

Re: Russian Roulette

Sounds interesting. If I have time, I might join. We have to make at least 2 characters right?

Re: Russian Roulette

This sounds fun. :) What will the gameplay be like? Political maneuvering, sneak/thief like, assassinations, etc. And will every player be in a different castle?
