1964....
It is the height of the Cold War, and after the Cuban Missile Crisis, tensions between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. are at a boiling point. Nuclear war is but a stepping stone away, and it could take but a small nudge to tip the scales and unleash Armageddon. Such an event occurs on the night of October 12 in Moscow. Karloff Brennestein, a German scientist and weapons manufacturer who defected to the Soviet Union after World War II, was murdered in his hotel room, from which were stolen top secret plans and documents. The killer has yet to be identified, and the only clue the hotel security can give was it was a woman dressed in black. Now both the CIA and the KGB are on the hunt for the mysterious assassin with several questions coming to mind: Who is she? Who does she work for? Why did she steal Brennestein's plans? And most importantly.....what was Brennestein planning?
As an agent of either the CIA or the KGB, it is your task to hunt down the elusive Woman in Black, however, you will also be keeping tabs on your enemies as well and trying to sabotage their progress by any way possible. The Cold War is a war fought with espionage and intelligence, but brute force is necessary at times, so guns are allowed. Keep in mind, the guns must match the period, (IE: There were no M4s or G36Cs in 1964. The AK-47 however is acceptable, as is the M16A1). The Woman in Black will also be hunting you as well, making sure you never steal or retrieve Brennestein's plans. Some agents might even come in contact with her as the story progresses.
THE RULES
- "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!" No fighting in the OOC, no flame wars, no bitching, etc. Don't be a troll or I'll kick you out from under your bridge....and the RP as well. Civil arguments and discussions are welcomed, but if it gets out of hand, I will break it up.
- "Viewer discretion is advised." Keep the adult stuff to at least a PG-13 level. Gore, drug usage and cussing like a sailor is cool with me, but as for sex, take it to the PMs if it gets past the necking phase. Also be considerately realistic. You're not going to rip out some dude's entrails with your bare hands.
-"If you're going to San Fransisco. Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair." Actually, if you have to be gone for a long amount of time, like more than a day or two, please let me know in advance. I understand life can be hectic for some and throw alot of curveballs time to time, and some of us have to deal with school, work, avoiding the landlord, etc, so I will gladly stall the rp. However, if you do not tell me, I will have to instate the three strike law, meaning if you don't respond in three days, your character will be insta-killed.
-(Ehh.....Insert 60s quote about education here) Oh noes, I ran out of quotes! Anywho, if you have any questions about the RP or you want to suggest something, feel free to ask either here or in the PMs. I'll do my best to answer it, and if I think your idea is a perfect addition the RP, you'll get the green light.
-"Stick to the Program" Yeah yeah, it wasn't a quote from the 60s, but try to at least be 50-60% historically accurate. I'll be lenient and allow a few innacuracies, since I understand it can be difficult for some to do a historical RP, but for the love of God, Zeus, and Cthulu, please don't throw in mechs and superpowers! This ain't Metal Gear folks......though that is cool *scurries back to play Snake Eater*
-And the most important rule of all.......Wear a condom....eh I mean....HAVE FUN!!!!!.....but seriously use some protection >.>;
-Also if you read all these rules, please put "Mein Fuhrer! I can walk!" under your CS. (Sorry, huge Doctor Strangelove fan, as you can tell >.>)
