Closed | OOC | Not Yet Started It was raining the night of October First, 1857. A man runs down the street, the paper in his hand. The London Times. Across the headline it said; MURDER! THE 11TH IN A STRING OF MURDERS! The man knew that he shouldn't be out this late. He stopped to check the time on his silver line pocket watch. 11:26. "Where had the time gone?" the man thought to himself. "I should be in bed with my wife." He rushed down the lane, only a few blocks away from his house, 21st Pudding Lane. As he saw his house, he slowed his pace. Suddenly, a Laugh was heard though the air. The man stopped "W-who's There??" he shouted. The Laugher only got more intense. And then... The man was killed. The next morning, The man was found, sitting down. his head had been cut off, replaced with a pumpkin with a smile carved into it. In the man's hand was a note addressed to Scotland Yard. It read...Let The Game BeginI am looking for four detectives and one murderer.

2. The Fighter;
Name: Jonathan Godswell
Age: 20
Gender: male
Role: fighter
Personality: hot headed and incredibly focused- -Jonathan grew up with only his sister after both of his parents died in a fire. After the fire he and his sister ran away knowing they would most likely be separated if they stayed. They lived on the streets for six years, with Jonathan fighting for or stealing what they needed to survive. One night while he was out looking for something for the two of them to eat, his sister was attacked and killed. He came back to their dirty alley to find his sister sitting against a wall, her head cut off and a note in her hand. All it said was "you will never find me." Having already read about the game master in the papers, his despair quickly turned to unadulterated anger. He knew that someone had the answers to who did this to his baby sister. So he grabbed the note and headed out, planning to crack open heads until he found his answers.
A Grand Fighter. You have a bone to pick with the murderer, and nothing will get in your way.
Rules for The Fighter:
Witnesses. Anyone could be the murderer. If the wont talk, offer to beat the snot out of them for the answer. Some witnesses might come clean to things they have done.
In a Fight/ Chase situation, you can take charge. This is what your best at after all.
You do what you want. You may listen to the Famous Detective, but you don't have to.
Trust no one. Anyone may be working for the murderer.
3. The Spiritual Medium;
Name: Analise Lombardi
Age: 35
Gender: Female
Role: The Spiritual Medium
Personality: Patient. Selfless. Independent. Loyal to her co-workers, family, and friends (living and deceased).
Description: Growing up in the coastal city of Pozzuoli, Italy, Ana never once had dreams outside her quiet life. Her father humbly made a living as a fisherman, and her mother spent her time raising Analise and her several siblings. It wasn't until Analise was sixteen years old that she met the man she would now call her husband, her one love. He was different than most boys, he had goals, ambitions, and plans. Despite her mother's warnings, the two would sneak away to their own hiding place and talk to one another until the sun went down and rose the next day. When he smiled, it gave her heart a reason to beat. When he spoke, her ears only had reason to listen to his voice. When he held her, she knew not what a life without him was.
If you couldn't guess, it wasn't long before the two were wed. Alas Ana's husband did not see how life in their small coastal town could give them a better chance. Sure, he was happy here with his bride, but he wanted more for them. He wanted more. Within months, the two were packed up and on a boat to London. Dreams supposedly came true here, their life together started here.
Voices had always haunted Analise's thoughts and dreams. She figured it was just a 'quirk' of being a young woman with a lot to say. She dared not speak about it to her husband nor anyone else for that matter though. They would think she was insane. They would think she would need to be locked up and the key thrown into the ocean. Life was hard enough as it was, being encased within a cell would not help anything.
It wasn't until 18 years later at the grisly murder of her husband that everything from the voices in her head to the chaos that followed it came into full swing. It was from then on Analise knew her duty.
Knocking on George Lakeview's home in the middle of the night, she broke down in tears. "I have something I must share with you detective, but I beg of you to not be alarmed." she sobbed, taking the man's free hand gently, her eyes rolled back into her head. She spoke of what her deceased husband told her, details of what happened that faithful night. The detective was shocked, and his faith a bit shaken. Analise as she came to- assured him, that she meant no harm by this act, and pleaded for him to let her help the team and put a stop to this barrage of deaths. She knew it all seemed ridiculous, but all the answers she had given were correct, how could it be a charade?
He agreed, and Analise has been a part of the team ever since.
Alignment: Chaotic Good.
The best witness is the one who was killed him/herself.
Rules for The Spiritual Medium:
If you would like to talk to the dead, make a post that establishes that. The Dead will appear only to you, so you might want to tell the others. or keep the info to your self.
Listen and work with the Famous Detective, as he knows what he's doing.
Understand the Fighter, as you may have lost your own family member to the Murderer too. (if you want.)
4. The Researcher;
Claimed by Thundercat. Cs to be made.
The one who takes the info and processes it into workable data. You are obliviously the smartest.
Rules for the Researcher:
Analyze what The Famous Detective found. It might be important, it may not. (I'll give the result)
Listen to The Spiritual Medium, the Evidence might be important.

almost no use to you.
