Infected Mushroom wrote:After The Meeting is ove (in roughly 24 hours), we are moving to an experimental phase of the RP.
In 1 week or more (I will announce), we will be moving to the first group mission, the attack on The Vault involving all players.
Before that time (for 1-2 weeks) we are in Interim 1.
The rules are as follows for Interim 1:
Players can use this time to create and run small stakes mini-episodes and slice of life incidents to further illustrate the individual character’s lifestyles, capabilities, and personalities.
I will create 20 minor NPCs which the players can use to facilitate these scenes if needed; the players can also use a reasonable number of nameless goons.
The players can do this Solo (run the whole mini-episode by themselves), with another player, or with the help of the OP controlling NPCs.1. The stories must be “small/low stakes” (no massive gains that fundamentally alter the stakes or the positions of the two teams)
2. The locations of the stories must be “small-scale”
3. In these stories, the player may take from 1 to 3 Mafia NPCs from the list (the Mafia NPCs can be killed)
4. The Mafia Queen and other high rankers will not appear nor be controlled by players during this time
5. The exception is that the OP might run stories that include the major NPCs but again, in a way that doesn’t alter the stakes
6. The OP will intervene and ask for edits where things aren’t working as they should (however, the goal here is to allow a huge amount of player flexibility in telling the story where possible)
7. In the scenarios, you may assume that Tom gave you “permission” to proceed where it’s necessary (alternatively, fights with the Mafia may start organically/by accident and/or If your player is a loose cannon they might act on their own initiative, perfectly fine)
8. Since multiple stories may run simultaneously, for each post please put your character name and location in bold at the start of the post
9. If an NPC is being used by one storyline, they can’t be used at the same time in another storyline (you don’t want them to appear at the same time in two+ places)
If you run the story Solo, then you can write the scenario from start to finish either in one post or a series of posts (use the 1-3 Mafia NPCs if needed).
If you run the story 2+ player, then 2+ player mechanisms will apply where players cannot control each other.
If you want the help of the OP to run the Mafia NPCs, then write up to the action of the Mafia NPC and then TG me for assistance. We can then do a back and forth until that episode is concluded. I will be checking in many times a day to ensure a good pace.
The following NPCs have been created to facilitate this and for the players to rent (if killed, they are out).

Madrinpoor wrote:My appName: Joel Avati
Age: 33
Appearance: 5'11, olive skin, dark hair (Italian)
Skillset: Good liar, speaks Italian, English, and Spanish, good at undercover work/disguising, good detective/puzzle solver, good at hand-to-hand, loyal (well not really, he will not often sacrifice someone to save his own skin, but he is very materialistic though he keeps his promises...mostly)
Personality: Friendly, charming, kind, but of course that is the personality he projects because he could always be in disguise.
Weaknesses/Fears: Bad with technology, bad at codes, not good at marksmanship (though passable), arrogant/cocky, pretty bad driver, very ambitious, scared of being followed (slightly paranoid), scared of breaking cover so will let someone die to not be found out, often unempathetic
Likes: Chocolate, excitement, NY Yankees, praise, dogs, fancy things, being a hero
Dislikes: Cats, criticism, Boston Red Socks, strawberries, traffic jams, tough decisions (though he is good under pressure he doesn't like being in it), people who break promises
Motivation for joining Antihero team/backstory:
Growing up in the slums of New York, Avati quickly learned to fend for himself in tough situations. Reliance on law enforcement was spotty, and gangs roamed the streets. He joined one of these gangs, the Black Knots, at age 15, but when the gang split a few months later due to the death of their leader in a car "accident" resulting in a power vacuum between the potential successors, Avati formed his own splinter gang, the Cheese, so named because Joel allegedly eating a piece of cheese out of the mouth of a rat he killed by stepping on it. Cheese was originally a normal gang, like the Black Knots were, but the Knots had already cornered the black market in the area, along with their rivals. So Avati's gang found another way to make money, morphing into a vigilante group that protected people from the gangs in exchange for money. They were very successful, and caught many criminals from both gangs. The other gangs could not hunt them down, because they used them to catch other gangsters from other gangs. The Cheese soon became more and more scheming, and developed a system where they would intimidate their opponent, by holding them off the edge of a bridge, until they gave them more money than they would get for catching them. They would often come into conflict with the police, and Avati was detained on trumped-up theft charges following the disappearance of a police officer he was alleged to have partaken in when he was 17. He bribed his way out of jail due to money his friend made selling drugs, and then spent time going in and out of jail intentionally, dealing with targets and bribing cops. At age 21 however, members of the Italian-American mafia, which Joel's uncle was supposedly connected to, raided his uncle's garage which was being used by the Cheese. The resulting firefight resulted in two dead mafia and four dead Cheese, and the rest of his gang was fractured and broke off into little pieces after that. Joel's closest allies
were also killed or ran off, but he swore he would never rest until his largest act of justice was completed, catching the Mafia Queen who destroyed his gang, essentially his family, and bringing justice.

I would not have expected someone to spot a kilometer far inside a forest, so more like you would have to close in until you are only a few 100m away but I guess it's a light forest then. Also I would have imagined it to show signs of usage but if it's empty I'm sure we can use it for something else, too.
Hm, an opposing hacker ... yeah, I got an idea there
Name: Boris Grisham, aka The smiling Bandit, aka Skill Monkey, aka Janus, aka Max Power
Appearance: A tall, skinny guy with black, curly hair, usually poorly shaven, wears glasses and loose-fitting clothes
Age: 26
Personality: Where it's common for top hackers to have a strong sense of self-confidence and a little bit of arrogance, Boris is an outright megalomaniac narcissist. A poor team player especially when it comes to women due to a high level of misogyny, sadly Boris is quite a genius on his own. When forced to conciliate the fact, that the Mafia found him, abducted him and forced him to work for them, with his self-image of invincibility he hatched the delusion that he has gotten right where he wants to be and as long as he is working well the Mafia supplies him with enough cocaine and whores to reinforce this believe.
Skills: Hacker, programmer, credit card fraud
