“In light of the recent events, this region will continue to be held by the Mancini family, and I, as the Lady of this household, will retain all power once held by my husband, to secure the rich history of this family name.”

——

Tragedy and panic have struck a small border county, on the edge of two once-warring Kingdoms. Lord Julius Mancini, the border count and famous once-knight, during the celebration of his daughter’s healthy birth, was killed in front of his own wife and child, by an infamous assassin.

Dubbed “The Jester” by criminals and authority alike, the man has a history of killing corrupt nobleman and slaughtering family lines, using magic and illusions to change his appearance and trick his opponents before he ends their lives.


Days later, the wife of the lord, Lady Aileen Mancini, hires two mercenary groups to defend her and her family home, as well as the private military forces once owned by her husband. The woman had changed, from delicate and frightened to harsh, cold and unmoving in her search for vengeance. But vengeance against who, is the question. The assassin who tore apart her family, or perhaps the system that turned her husband into a man worthy of such a dishonorable death...

——

Within the city, the killer lingers; his ability to chance his appearance makes it so there are little known identifiers on him, save for his missing pinky, but the injuries sustained mean he couldn’t have gone far...

Who is The Jester, and what are his true motives? And what of the darker forces that linger beyond the surface, rumblings of tension that could spark another war.

———

Bringing this back, since it never got finished. I’m skipping over the actual assassination scene and getting straight to the plot movement. Quite a few details have been altered, both in names, history, etc, so be sure to pay attention to those.

This is a revamped version, but players who were part of the original are welcome to join back in and help move things along. There’s not many specific positions I desire being filled, so if you’re interested let me know who you wish to use and we’ll see if they’ll fit in well with the plot.
Magic 70%
Magic is fairly common. Players and NPCs important to the tale may have it. Mistborn.
Technology 30%
Renaissance
Combat 70%
More combat than not. The setting may be at war, and the characters will likely get involved whether or not they seek it out.

Details: Freeform, paragraphs required, long-term RP partner preferred.

i came as soon as i heard ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

what sort of characters are you looking for; people for the mercenary groups?
I came as soon as koobler heard XD

And I have the same question.
I came as soon as Ender heard it from Koobler who heard it from Jester
Your plot immediately reminded me of this guy

Lemme know if he can join

Edit: I have an entire group of mercs called the Treasure Lamp too if you're lookin' for em, have a gander at my profile
You rang? I read "mercs" and came running. Would Raed work in this?
This sounds interesting! Care if I join??
The Hanged Man (played anonymously)

I'm willing to redux the Hanged Man's role as Aileen's personal guard and ex-fancier of Julius if you'd like :)
Erion the Scattered Wing (played by jpdelta)

Oh this looks awesome!!! Espionage, murder, betrayal, mystery, revenge, such great items for a wonderful classic like this!!! I'd like to bring Erion into this if you'd be willing. I'd have him as his older version, and as an advisor of some kind maybe or some weird old man, it all sounds exciting. This could be a very good group role play, if you ask me.

Goodness!!! I really did not anticipate such a reaction to this, haha, wow. I’m a little stunned!

Sorry for the slow replies, I want to go through everyone’s characters and see how this all will fit! I just moved out of my home 2 days ago so I’m a little preoccupied, sorry for that, my responses will be a little slow.

Tus and The Hanged Man, you’re both welcome to rejoin this! Glad to have you back on board!

Mercs are always welcome, other nobles, Knights serving the lord, citizens, perhaps people who stumble along the assassin. Open to lots of roles. :)

Just Stallion or did you look at the TL as well? :3
I'll be fine wherever you put Stallion. Maybe he can be buddy-buddies with the Jester, or a rival. idk.

She only needed four and I think she got them. But I hope there's still room.
