One Billion Reasons

[Arminius H O Fiddywinks]

My first RP! So if it's quite blah and the template's even more blah, please, don't shoot me.

 

RP Name/Title: One Billion Reasons

 

Style: Forum

 

Theme: Action/Suspense/Dark Comedy

 

Description:

 

The various nation-states of Katina have a long history of fighting back against ambitious off-world powers, such as Venom and Papetoon. But now, the time for bloodshed is over. The peoples of Katina are tired of war, of suffering, of death. They want to make peace with their last foreign enemy: Corneria.

Long have the Cornerians dreamed of turning Katina into a colony of theirs. Despite their best efforts, the Katinas have managed to defy their most advanced armies with primitive firearms, a fanatical fervor, and the near limitless pool of manpower the Katinas have so readily tapped into. As a result, the Cornerians' ambitions have died as a result of the seemingly endless conflict that has bogged down much of their armed forces, and left the capital vulnerable to attack. Now, within the Senate itself there are open discussions for peace wtih Katina. Representatives from the most powerful nations on Katina, such as Abyssinia and the Kingdom of Mutapa, have frequented Corneria, with hopes of peace negotiations. However, there is but one state that remains on Katina refuses peace: Nubia.

The current Nubian king, Maurice I, is an incredibly stubborn and close-minded old jackal. He believes himself to be the savior of Katinans from the evil Cornerian foreigners. He has manipulated his people into thinking that it is right to kill and be killed not just for him, but for the whole planet. As a result of his warped teachings, the Nubian people are hostile to Corneria, and all Nubians, from regular army soldiers to "concerned citizens" frequently attack Cornerian outposts and colonies in neighboring realms and kidnap Cornerian aid workers and tourists for ransom.

Their army, although untrained and amateurish, is among the most well-equipped of the Katinan nations, having sided with Venom during the Lylat Wars. They have heavy tanks, powerful weaponry, and a fanatical disposition. However, they are not as well-trained as the Cornerian foreigners, and will crack under pressure. To balance out this disadvantage, they call upon their citizenry, who are more than willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of their nation. Their army, called the Nubian People's Defense Army, is little more than a militia made up of civilian Nubians from all backgrounds and ages. Most volunteered. Some were conscripted. They all have next to no training, having been simply given an assault rifle, some ammunition, and then sent into the fray. Their use varies from shock troops to a police force to cannon fodder. However, the best of the best Nubia can offer is the Royal Guard. They were trained by Venomian officers, and can easily go toe-to-toe with their Cornerian counterparts. They are charged with guarding the King and his family at all times.

Now, the time for this madness is over. An anonymous individual has approached you with a most interesting offer: kill Maurice I so that Maurice's son and heir, Stuart V, a man who is more receptive to peace with Corneria, may ascend to the throne of Nubia. The reward is one billion credits.

 

Goal: Assassinate Maurice I

 

Player Count (Including myself): Minimum of 2, no maximum limit.

 

Notes:

 

*All the characters will be starting in a restaurant in the Nubian capital city of Zawarwha, planning the kill. They can wear anything their creators want.*

 

*All of the NPCs (including the king, excluding the person who hired you) can be controlled by everyone else.*

 

*We will plan on how to kill King Maurice when we discuss it in the restaurant. It can be as clean-cut and cloak and dagger or outlandish and over-the-top as we want. Just make sure his son Stuart lives.*

 

*No 'Deus Ex Machina' type stuff. If we manage to find ourselves in a hole, we have to dig a tunnel to the surface.*

 

*Observe the forum rules and RP Board Rules, as always.*

Kurt, you should've put this in the "RP Characters" forum. Nevertheless, I take this as your signing up to this RP.
