Assassin’s Creed: En Masse

Link to the Assassin’s Creed Wiki if you’ve never played the game.

October 11, 2012.

71 days remain before Abstergo Industries launches their satellite where they shall gain total control over the minds of mankind. Earth itself shall be doomed, and life itself may cease to exist.

Their plan must be stopped.

The Assassin Order still holds a presence in this world. It is they who must stop the Templar organization and save humanity from utter destruction. But the journey will not be so easy…
You are one of the last Assassins. You must bring down the Templars and rescue life on Earth. This is your duty. And if you fail…all hope is lost.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

About Assassin’s Creed: En Masse

AC: En Masse will probably be the best, most fun roleplay I’ve ever created. It will be organized, action-packed, and intense. And the storyline completely depends on your actions.

As this is based in modern times, you will be visiting some real places (cities, famous landmarks, etc…). Some locations will be fictitious, but the majority will be real.

During the course of the storyline, I’ll provide different maps to illustrate the locations you will be visiting (I’ll just be using the regular old Paint program, so don’t expect anything too fancy). It will help with the story and give you a decent understanding of the environment surrounding your characters.

Everything depends on your actions. Yes, you can be killed. And you can also cause the deaths of your Assassin comrades. You choose how to carry out a mission. Your Assassin superiors may give you guidelines and vague instructions, but you do not have to follow these guidelines and are free to do whatever you wish. Sometimes, you may be tempted to have fun and celebrate instead of carrying out a mission. This could lead to some serious trouble. But on the other hand, you may find extremely valuable information that will prove useful to the Assassins’ cause.

All in all, watch your actions, and stay vigilant.

Missions

Missions are given out by your Assassin superiors. Usually, you will be advised to use stealth or deception to carry out these missions successfully (of course, you don’t always have to follow the rules). But this is not always the case. There will be certain missions where you will be asked to rescue a specific ally or publicly assassinate an important figure in society. It all depends on the individual target and his/her location.

You’ll usually be paired with other Assassins to accomplish your duties. But how you complete these missions is completely up to you.

Skills

As an Assassin, you are inevitably a master of free running. Also, you are each in possession of a hidden blade. You may wear or remove it at will. But each Assassin is equipped with different individual skills.

Skills will affect your styles of assassination and combat. You will be permitted to choose 2 of them. These are the skills of which you may choose from.

Martial Arts

Rather self-explanatory. As a master of martial arts, you are practically a lethal weapon. You have selective skills from the arts of karate, taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, judo, and kickboxing. Your excellence in both melee and hand-to-hand combat is nearly unmatched by the majority of opponents. And as a bonus, you have much greater reactions to your surroundings.

Leap of Faith

Very few Assassins of the modern age are capable of performing a leap of faith. It is both an impressive and courageous act of skill. It was once the symbolic tradition of the Assassin Order itself. The ability to perform a leap of faith can be extremely useful and can allow you to cheat death more than once. There are very few Templars of this era who are able to summon the courage to leap off of a building and onto a safe landing mark, which makes the leap of afaith an excellent method of escape.

Accuracy

With the days of swords, shields, bows, and arrows having ended centuries ago, the use of firearms has become a necessity to survival. While all Assassins are well-capable of wielding firearms, masters of accuracy have an unnatural skill with the use of guns. Their precision is ten times greater than those who are not trained in the ways of accuracy, and they can reload with outstanding speed.

Agility

Agility is an incredibly useful tool for any Assassin of modern times. Masters of agility are more capable of dodging enemy attacks. This includes evading bullets. While they are not indestructible and are still susceptible to harm, they have a better chance of surviving an intensified battle than most others. Masters of agility are also noticeably faster than others.

Hidden Blade Combat

The hidden blade has become more of a symbolic object for the Assassins than a weapon. It can be used during a fist fight to gain a slight advantage over the opponent, but most enemies are not vulnerable to such attacks, as guns are far more prominent than melee weapons. However, one who is trained in hidden blade combat has the speed and skills necessary to make the hidden blade even more deadly than some guns. They are able to use their hidden blades against enemies who wield pistols or other small firearms.

Character Sheet

As mentioned above, you are an Assassin. You will start the roleplay in the Assassin hideout of Boston, Massachusetts. The hideout is much like the hideout seen in AC II. It is a warehouse filled with equipment and technology used to communicate with the other Assassins of which are spread across the globe. It also contains different sleeping quarters for each of the Assassins.

Rules

1. I’m the boss. U falloe mah rulez!

3. Use good grammar, mates. It’s not hard (unless English is not your mother language, in which case I completely understand.).

4. No god-modding. I understand that the “skills” in this roleplay grant your character very unique abilities, but that doesn’t make your character indestructible. If your character tries doing something stupid, he/she will get pwned. End of story.

5. In order to join this roleplay, you have to agree that monkeys are simply incredible. Put this in your first post if you read this.

Personality:Ruthless and hostile against the Templars but when it comes to everyday citizens and other assassins he is more friendly. Uses only silenced weapons. Perfers snipers for long range, Assault rifles for mid, and dual pistols for short.

Seems like I'm the only one without eagle vision.

Anyway, I may aswell add that my character perfers fighting with a short blade and a pistol.

Yeah, guys, I said to relax with the eagle vision. As of right now, 3/4 of this Assassin team has eagle vision. People with eagle vision are descended from demigods in the AC universe...So it's not incredibly common.

Other than that, all of your characters are great.
But it would be nice if there was less eagle vision.

Keep them characters comin'!

Assassin hideout
Boston, Massachusetts

The hideout seemed particularly cold and empty that morning. Boston was experiencing extremely cold weather this year. The team of six Assassins were directed to linger in the waiting room before the Instructor’s office at the east wing of the warehouse. The “Instructor” was the de facto leader of the American sect of Assassins. He handed out missions to the other Assassins spanned across the nation.

The waiting room was located at the edge of the hallway that led to each of the Assassins’ quarters. It was a nice room. Numerous bookshelves covered the red walls. A wooden coffee table sat at the center of the room on a black and golden rug, surrounded by six black leather chairs. The floor beneath the rug was hardwood.

This was the first time the Assassins met. They were the elite of the Assassin Order. Each of them were called to Boston where they would receive direct orders from the Instructor himself.

Tim sat on a chair, and slowly observed the other assassins. When he saw one dressed completely in black, he had a look of shock on his face.

Robert stood near the wall, carefully inspecting the others. What a strange bunch. He thought. But it didn't matter. He just wanted this to start and end.

Tom's eye crossed the room, he was leaning against the wall.

John sat in a chair and stared absently into his ring, He wanted his assignment, not talk and get to know everyone else.

Carlos observed the others. Then he took a seat on a chair and continued to closely examine the other assassins.

"Dressing totally in black isn't very common with civilians this day, it will be harder for you to blend with them." He said to break the silence.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Carlos Navarro de La Torre. I was born in Lima Peru. I am the best assassin in all of Latin America. Please forgive my gamma and pronunciation mistakes since english isn't my mother Language."

Tom looked up to Carlos. He kept his silence, but in his head, he was already making judgements about him.

A man then walked through the doors leading into the Instructor's office. He was tall with dark skin and black hair that was combed back. He wore a beige suit with black shoes and carried a clipboard.

The man read the first name on the list. "Smith?" he asked in a deep voice. "Do I have a Tom Smith in here?"

Tom stood up straight from the corner, he pulled his hood down from his head.
"That's me". Tom spoke with a British accent.

The man looked up at Tom. "My name is Goliath." he said with a stern expression. Much like the Biblical character, Goliath was a giant. He spoke with authority and confidence. "The Instructor would like to see you first. Please...Step inside his office."

"Very well".
Tom walked slowly into the office that Goliath had beackoned him into.

Robert watched as Tom left the room.
"Farewell."

Tom heard Robert from the back of the room, he was calculating what he actually mean't by his comment.
He wanted to go back and confront him on what he said, but he kept to his route.
