An Assassin’s Job

January 16, 2078
Case #5738
Victim: Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Jenkins
Time of Death: Between 1 and 4 am
Case is cold.
Upon entering the crime scene there was nothing out of the ordinary. Mr. Jenkins was stabbed several times with what seemed to be a five pronged instrument. Mrs. Jenkins had been stabbed as well. Several kitchen forks were lying beside her body. The room smelled strongly of cheese and wine, despite the blood. The murders seemed very clean and were quiet. No witnesses. No neighbors reported hearing or seeing any suspicious characters.

Case #7893
Victim: Mr. Tim Huston
Time of death: Between 12pm and 3 am
Case is cold.
The crime scene was incredibly messy. Mr. Huston’s body had been terribly mutilated to the point that they had use dental records to identify him. There was a pair of rubber gloves lying next to his body as well as sewing needles and a scalpel. The body had several of the internal organs removed, these were not found. There was a trace of some sort of poison found on the coffee table. It is thought that there are two murders, for there were both heel prints and boot prints found near the scene. There are no witnesses. The neighbors pointed to the ex-girlfriend, but she had a solid alibi.

Case #72983
Victim: Dr. Harold Josephine
Time of Death: between 2 and 5 am
Case is cold.
The scene is extremely clean. Dr. Josephine’s body was found on the bed, it was obvious there was no struggle, and it seems he died in his sleep. There are clean marks around his neck that indicate strangulation. There are traces of pink plastic feathers all throughout the house. Not much evidence. An odd woman’s shirt was found as well, but no DNA could be pulled from it. No witnesses saw anything out of the ordinary. The neighbors suggested Dr. Josephine’s wife, but she committed suicide after figuring out her husband had died. No other suspects.

Case # 10293
Victim: Chief Stanly Wilkins
Time of Death: Between 1 and 4 am
Case is cold.
The scene was covered in blood. In the wall, written in Chief Wilkins’s blood was a warning for the police to quit investigating another case. The body was terribly battered and covered with bruises that looked as though they came from a nightstick. It had several broken bones, and a gag was tied in its mouth. There were signs that he had been tied to a nearby chair using crime scene tape. There were a few shell casing and bullet holes in the wall. Witness reported seeing several of Chief Wilkins’s men leaving the scene between 1 and 4 am. All men had clear alibis. Neighbors heard gun shots and called police.

For the longest time, I suspected that these murders were the act of a serial killer. The same dates and times were far too odd, but the clues left behind in every murder were far too different. They each seem to be killing as though they specialize in a certain job. The forks, a scalpel, a feather boa, and crime scene tape; they are all specialized to certain jobs. I want to find these people and figure out what it was they are up to. There is no way this wasn’t the work of a league of assassins, but I’ll keep my mouth shut until I have more evidence…
-Police Detective Charles Anderson

Police Detective Anderson is completely correct. There is a league of assassins out there killing people. This league is very powerful, a true force to be reckoned with. They are all just normal men and women out in the world, but at night, they get secret messages that tell them who they need to kill. They team up and work to kill those that they are ordered to, because they are normally not as normal as the reports make them out to be. The can be very powerful figure-heads, or even other assassins. The assassins normally kill them for one simple reason: The Boss said so.

The Boss is the leader of the league of assassins. He has never truly been seen by anyone but the messenger, but he is known by anyone in affiliation with the league. He is powerful and feared by all. No one crosses The Boss, because those who do come up missing or missing something like their head. He is thought to be able to kill anyone without the help of his assassins, but there are those who are skeptical of The Boss’s real power.

As for the assassins, they are all just normal men and women in New York City. They have normal lives and go to work every day. The only difference is that they use their jobs as cover and as a fighting/killing style. They all have different powers that fit along with their job. They sneak out late at night and kill those who they are ordered to, or maybe even just to visit their assassin buddies. They are known to form partnerships with those assassins that work with them, or have a closely related job. All assassins get missions that are both singular and group missions. Each one is very important, and must not be failed. Never fail The Boss; he isn’t very happy about failures in his league.

As for powers, the assassins all have things that normal humans could never accomplish. The can bend certain logic, mess with people’s minds until they literally go insane, and create unrealistic figures. They can use magic that can utterly destroy their targets. This magic is classified into three categories: Mental, Physical, and Social. Metal magic allows one to control things with their mind, makes things appear, or other magic that involves the mind. Physical magic affects the human body in some sort of way, like being able to contort one’s body. Social magic allows the user to convince other people of something. Each assassin starts with one of the three kinds of magic and gains the other two as they grow stronger. Other than having magical abilities, they all are incredibly specialized fighters. They each fight with weapons you would find at their job, such as the scalpel, crime scene tape, feather boa, and forks. These would belong to assassins with the jobs they would need those tools in.

You will play as one of these assassins. Your job is to complete all of the missions the boss sends you with the help of your fellow assassins. You live in an apartment complex along with your fellow assassins, but none of them know your real name. You may have another house, where your family lives. You have a job other than being an assassin, here are a few. Feel free to PM me and ask about other jobs, I would be glad to send you your powers (Also send the weapons you want to use and I will tell you if they are acceptable.)

List of Assassin Jobs: .
(Note that any of these can be either gender. I’m just calling them certain genders for convenience. In fact I would be highly amused to see a male Stripper. If you want to change the weapons/magic, feel free to PM me and ask me about what you want to use.)

The Doctor: The Doctor is very sneaky at his assassinations. He follows his targets until he knows they are where no one will hear them scream. He fights with scalpels and sewing needles. He enjoys removing organs from the bodies he “takes care of” and donating them to organs banks at his hospital when no one is looking. His starting magic is mental, the ability to control his surgical thread to move wherever he wants it to go, which allows him to control the needles as well. (This is my character…)

The Cook: The Cook is a very odd killer. He will often drug his targets with fancy liquors in order to keep them from screaming. He fights with tons of kitchen utensils. He enjoys cooking for his targets in order to give them a last meal before they die. He starting magic is mental, the ability to make his utensils float and fly (sort of like telekinesis.)

The Stripper: The Stripper is a very beautiful woman. She seduces men into following her into apartments and secretive areas so that she can kill them off. She prefers to strangle them, seeing that she doesn’t want them to scream. She fights with whatever she is wearing, quite literally. She sometimes carries a small dagger. Her magic is social, the ability to seduce men into following her anywhere. (taken)

The Policeman: The policeman is a very brutal killer. He is used not only as an assassin, but to kill anyone who looks too far into one of The Boss’s missions. He has a very crazy way of killing, seeing that he is one of few who beats his targets to death instead of doing something quick and painless. He instead take the route of gagging and tying up his targets with “do not cross” tape. He then beats them to death with his nightstick. His magic is social, the ability to appear innocent (no matter what), when he is guilty.

The Lawyer: The Lawyer is a very smart killer. He is known to fight the court cases of other assassins and find out their true names for The Boss. He thinks hard about killing his victims and can do it in the middle of a room filled with people without them knowing it was him. He almost always supplies a solid alibi. He fights with pens, yes pens, and carries a small dagger. His magic is social, the ability to make people believe him no matter what. (“These aren’t the droids you are looking for” “These aren’t the Droids I’m looking for…”)

The Garbage Man: The Garbage Man is the guy who disposes of most of the bodies after the targets are “taken out”. This is why most of the assassins’ cases are never noticed, because they all show up as missing person’s cases. The Garbage Man is also a talented assassin, known to leave a crime scene absolutely spotless, except for a few traces to show he was there. His magic is physical, giving him the ability to rot certain parts of the human body (Fingers, toes, hands and feet, nothing too big.) (Reserved)
The Nurse: The Nurse is a very cunning assassin who commonly works with the Doctor. She prefers to poison her subjects by injecting them with her arsenal of needles. She carries several syringes of different sizes, the largest being nearly a foot long. She also carries vials filled with different poisons and medicines, in case another assassin gets injured on a mission. Her magic is mental, the ability to make her needles grow and shrink with her mind. (taken)

The Zoo Keeper: The Zoo Keeper is a very vicious assassin. He doesn’t really assassinate his victims himself, but instead leaves that up to his animals. Most of his assassinations look like animal attacks, but he’s the one pulling the strings. He tends to leave his crime scenes messy with hair lying about, so that everyone thinks it was just an animal. The Zoo Keeper uses mental magic, having the ability to summon 3 species of animals (I will allow you to choose the three).

The Painter: The painter is a very messy assassin. He enjoys painting on the walls with his victim’s blood after he has finished his job. He is probably one of the crazier of the assassins. He fights with two cans of spray paint that he uses to both bash his opponents and leave them blinded. He also has an arsenal of smearing tools with very sharp ends. His magic is mental, giving him the ability to summon whatever it is he happens to paint.

The Logger: The logger is most likely the most violent assassin. He enjoys mutilating the body to the point that it becomes extremely difficult to identify the victim. He leaves blood all through his crime scene, scaring people quite literally on purpose. He fights with axes and chainsaws, both in which do the job fast. He uses physical magic that allows him to add to his strength, allowing him to slice all the way through bone, muscle, and flesh.

The Dancer: The Dancer is one of the most graceful assassins. She enjoys to kill her victims quickly, but make it look beautiful. She has a slight dislike for watching brutal killings. She fights with a pistol and a hidden dagger that is within her sleeve. This dancer isn't one you want to mess with. The dancer has Socal magic that allows her to distract victims by dancing.
