Roman Cunningham has a problem.

Sure, he might run the little town of Personville, Montana- and with it the meth empire headquartered there. Sure, the mayor and the chief of police and other local officials are solidly in his pocket, and sure, he's pulling down tens of millions a year in illicit income, and sure, he produces and distributes more crystal meth than anyone in the Mountain States.

But it's like they say- more money, more problems. Roman's rise to power has not been without making his fair share of enemies- DEA, FBI, civic-minded vigilantes, numerous other crime syndicates. Roman Cunningham knows he's going to need quality muscle, a personal hitman, if he's going to get by in this cutthroat business. The local criminals are somewhat lacking, so Roman is looking past Montana to the whole country. Hitmen are arriving in Personville- nicknamed Poisonville these days- to offer their services. Known only by the names of the cities they hail from, each is looking for the coveted position.

Obviously, Roman only wants the best. There can only be one personal assassin. So Roman has arranged a sort of contest. Kill his current enemies, and if need be, each other. The last one standing gets the job.

Poisonville is about to be torn about.

----

TL, DR: Rich druglord in a rural town is looking for a personal assassin and has reached out to the top hitmen from several American cities. To prove their skills, they're competing to take out his enemies.

Players are welcome to work together to eliminate targets or fight one another for the single opening, whatever they feel.

Players each represent a different American city, which will also be their name for the purpose of this RP. I'd like to see everyone have a distinct method or weapon of choice- ideally something that fits their city. For instance, Miami likes to quietly knife people in the dark, LA prefers to use an automatic weapon in a drive-by, Cleveland uses car bombs, Dallas is an expert quickdraw, and so on.

Anyone interested, or should I be ashamed of this terrible idea?

Hmm I like the premise, but it's one of the few times a character idea doesn't jump out at me. I'll have to ponder this one over for a while.

By the way, what does TL, DR mean? I see it used a lot, but for the life of me I can't puzzle it out.

Hmm well, right now I figure LA to be a a really big knife nut. An expert at cutting people up or stabbing them, even able to throw knives pretty accurately. Expert martial artist. Uses guns too but mostly pistols at close to medium range. Mostly relies on mobility, stealth, and efficient savagery to get the job done.

Not sure whether it should be a guy or gal. In my head they'd be called La Muerte, which works out pretty well :P

Now, this is a fun idea.

I wonder if a Chicago assassin would fly. Black Suit, black tie, a black hat and thick sunglasses, the stereotypical G-man. An okay scrapper, and fairly good with a gun, but his specialty is accidents. Accidents and suicides. That's what his killings look like. He sabotages, he sets up death traps so in most cases, his victim and his person aren't even in the same room. He also enjoys jazz, rhythm and blues, and a little rock.

So how many do you think we need? Personally we just get the important cities like NYC and SF, and we'll be good to go xD

I'll take as many as I can get! I'd love to see some other tough cities, like Baltimore or Kansas City.
