Hello, everyone!
You and your character have been cordially invited to an elegant birthday soiree at the mansion of former real estate mogul, Bertram Montague - an associate, and even friend, of some of your characters.
This role-play will unfold into a murder-mystery with clues to be found by your characters. As the characters work together to uncover the identity of the murderer, they will also be guarding their own sordid, high-society secrets that might incriminate them.
You are free to decide on your own backstory, but I thought I might offer some suggestions for if you're having trouble coming up with one.
Here are some examples from the movie (straight from Wikipedia):
-Professor Plum: a former professor of psychiatry and current member of the World Health Organization whose medical license was revoked because he had an affair with one of his female patients.
-Mrs. Peacock is the wife of a U.S Senator who has been accused of accepting bribes to deliver her husband's vote and claims she must pay their blackmailer to avoid a political witch hunt.
-Miss Scarlet is the owner of an illegal escort service in Washington, D.C..
-Colonel Mustard is thought, at first, to have been blackmailed for scandalous photographs with one of Miss Scarlet's employees, but it is later revealed that he was a war profiteer who made his money from selling stolen radio components on the black market.
-Mrs. White is an alleged "black widow" who was drawn in to avoid a scandal regarding the mysterious death of her nuclear physicist husband. She was previously married to an illusionist, who also disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
-Mr. Green is a homosexual, a secret that would cost him his job with the State Department if it were widely known.
Your character backstory doesn't need to be so complicated, but these are just some examples to give you a picture of what sort of thing I was going for.
Please send me a message regarding your backstory, as it should be kept secret from the other guests!
Feel free to ask me if you have any other ideas for your character. I hope everyone has fun!
