How far down does the Rabbit Hole go?
In-Character
Rabbithole is a Noir-styled crime and conspiracy story set in the Mênnan Twin Cities of Shuhakallu and Mihêkallu. Opening on Shuhakallu Police Service detectives Tashê and Sha raiding a "tourist whorehouse" in the capitol, the story is set to spiral as their discovery of a secret film set-up leads them into a conspiracy with broader implications. Businessmen, politicians and celebrities from around the Isles might be implicated in a drama of sex, blackmail, murder and assassination, centered in a city where the law has little real say and where the ridiculously wealthy and the unbelievably poor are separated only by secrets and slums.
The concept of this RP is to maintain a gritty, noir-styled character story, while still exploring the potential for vast political repercussions in several nations by viewing the underbelly of business and politics. Characters in this RP might be aiding the investigation, such as foreign intelligence agencies, or they might be people involved for their own reasons, like the hired security of a politician trying to bury a secret...or reveal it.
Ultimately, the MacGuffin of the story is the missing drive of videos from the brothel. The contents are currently vague, but it may contain video files of politicians/businesspeople/public faces in compromising positions...or maybe someone revealed a secret during pillow talk that has even deeper meaning. I do see this as having the potential to escalate to murders, and maybe to rise to the level of much grander political turmoil.
Standard TWI rules apply. I don't really see the need for a character application, but please post your ideas and concepts here before posting in the IC. Once we have a core cast, we'll discuss the exact storyline, so that we all know exactly what is going on and can try and tell a cohesive, amazing story.
Again, it bears repeating that this is TWI ONLY. If you aren't in the region, please don't reply.
