Assassination/Assistance, Containment, and Recruitment(ACR) contracts, originally designed for members of Sanctuary, are missions in which Gladiators receive a file containing information pertaining to a target of interest. Whether they are a lost lamb in need of guidance, a struggling person in need of aid, or a dangerous situation/character in need of defusing, the purpose of these ACRs are to have Gladiators and those with exceptional capabilities serve a higher purpose than blood-sport(should they seek anything else).
For the most part, the outcome of these assignments depend on the undertaker's judgement in relation to whether or not the subject in question is killed, captured, recruited, or assisted. The only way to fail one of these missions is to engage and/or bring us the wrong person.
When you get a target, just write a little story on your encounter with them and how things turn out and bingo you're done.
If you wish to do a target collab, simply let me know who it is you're collabing with and I will send the same target to the both of you/answer any questions you both may have.
Neat. How do I get one?
Simple, really. Just send me a PM asking for one or ask for one here on the home thread and I should have the target ready for you in no time. If you want any requirements or challenges, such as a more "horror" themed prospect, just say so.
So... what's my motivation?
Doing the right thing or doing the wrong thing, for reward or simply to make that decision. Your motivation is just that. If you don't want to do them, then don't do them.
However, if you do decide to take on a mission, there's the potential to gain more characters for you to work with if you wish to write them beyond this thread, but yeah. These are just a way for writers to stretch their wings, test out a character, or occupy themselves between the next fight and the next big event.
Before we go on... I thought this was Sanctuary's thing?
Well, it was. Though, since Sanctuary ran out of space on the home thread and people outside of Sanctuary began to ask for ACRs, I thought I'd open the concept up to a broader audience. Sanctuary members and targets related to the clan will still receive a section of this thread dedicated to their old/future works(for the sake of canon, mostly).
ACRs are still run by and go through the good folks of Sanctuary, though there are also general requests for aid from the public now embedded into the missions.

Spoiler (Click to Show)
Ages: Inconclusive.
Heights: 5 foot 4 inches and 6 foot even. Approximately 164.5 and 182.8 respectively.
Appearance:
Ida is a Hispanic female of apparently young age with smooth, tan skin with flowing brown hair and digital green eyes. Compared to Ira, her build is relatively slim and more geared toward agility, with most of her muscle focused toward he legs and lower half. She will wear whatever, but has a general grip on fashion and dress.
Ira is a black male of age equal to his counterpart, Ida. His skin is dark brown and coarse, with a clean shaven(bald) head accompanied by a pair of digital green eyes. He is certainly the more physical of the two, his heavily built upper body and intimidating figure poised constantly as though to protect his sister. He also does not care what he wears, so long as it isn't feminine or restrictive in any way.
Personality:
Ida and Ira are brother and sister, sharing a tight bond that makes the two of them practically inseparable. They both care deeply for one another and look out for themselves at all times. The digital twins are a power team, capable of compensating for one another's weaknesses and keeping each other on their feet in the most dire of situations.
However, Ida is noticeably more compassionate and caring than Ira, her own desire to help those in need leading the two of them into trouble more often than her brother would like. Still, it's her gentleness that keeps him sane and calm. She is also much more intelligent when it comes to academic knowledge(book smart, you could say). However, ever since she was freed from Dex Omni's "Biome Manipulation and Inhabitant Creation Software", Ida has grown noticeably more rugged in her living.
Ira, the fighter and defender of the pair, stands to guard Ida in their new home. He has a relatively short fuse compared to his sister but this is because he'd rather dispatch anyone who might even possibly present a threat. His confidence allows Ida a sense of security, and she surely would have been swallowed by this new world if it weren't for him. He is more intelligent than Ida when it comes to practical things(street smart, you could say). Since he left the BMICS, his patience has grown exponentially.
Abilities:
World Scan(Ida)- Ida has the ability to scan any living creature or plant and get a full, detailed report on what they are. As such, she's a knowledge fountain- capable of completely understanding the limitations and exceptions of her enemies before they even get a glimpse of her abilities.
Omni-Proficiency(Ira)- Ira is able to use pretty much everything as an affective weapon in combat with nigh deadly prowess. Even a bar of soap can be a devastating armament in Ira's hands.
Request:
Originally, Ida & Ira were glitches in a program designed to create, alter, and erase worlds. However, after the death of their creator and deletion of their world, they found themselves walking among those of true reality, utterly lost but excited to finally be freed. Unfortunately, we still aren't quite sure what the two of them are, and we'd like to get a better understanding of how they function before we allow them to proceed any further.
Desired Outcome:
Contained. Detain the two of them and bring them in. All we've got is quite few questions.

Status: Target
Age: Unknown.
Height: 6 foot 3 inches. Approximately 190.5 Centimeters.
Appearance:
Alcatraz is fairly tall and well-built man of fairly young age who constantly wears a crimson-covered, porcelain mask with no eyes cut out for sight and no mouth visible. It's simply a plain, red mask that conceals his face. His exposed, tan skin and slicked black hair suggest hispanic descent. On his body, he wears a crude, plain red, and cotton undertop with elbow-length sleeves that has a spectacular collar full of matching maroon feathers. On his legs he wears a pitch black pair of comfortable sweatpants accompanied by red basketball shoes.
For a weapon, Red Crow carries a military hatchet spray-painted to match his outfit with black axe-head and crimson paracord wrap handle. It's strapped to his side via a simple utility belt.
Personality:
Aside from the obvious attention to detail when it comes to his dress, Alcatraz seems very much focused on his image and how he's portrayed.
When the media mistakenly dismissed him as a "superhero wannabe", he proceeded to slaughter a busy morning street full of men, women, and children alike.
When they corrected themselves and spoke out against him, he proceeded to artistically and literally thank every local news station by painting his gratitude in the blood of innocents.
From what we know, he's an attention-hungry serial killer who's striving to make a name for himself with senseless killing sprees and brutal depictions of both horrific life and beautiful death. In fact, there are even a few people who have taken to interpreting the intricacies of his "body-sculptures" to better understand the champions' motivations.
Abilities:
Nightmare Force- Alcatraz has the ability release a powerful burst of force in a target area capable of blowing a hole through concrete walls with ease. This force does not necessarily have to originate from his direct person, however, as Alactraz has been documented using this ability to repel enemies at distances of up to 2 meters. While this blast does have the potential to be lethal, Alcatraz prefers to get his own hands bloody and usually uses this ability to escape or initiate his string of havoc. There is a limit to how much he can use it as well, as one or two full force blasts often leave him gasping for air- as though jerking awake from a terrific nightmare.
Rebellious Coil- The Conflicted Champion has been shot. Many times. However, while a fatal wound may incapacitate him for a varying degree of time, his body always finds a way to persist. Even when dealt a critical blow to the brain, run through by a golden spear, or bleeding beyond care, Alcatraz has simply pressed on in his violent siege. Beheading would be your best bet, but removal of limbs has worked wonders as well, despote them always regrowing separately at sudden, random times.
Military Axe- Red Crow carries a black, steel military axe with a paracord-wrapped handle.
Miscellaneous- His Nightmare Force doesn't appear to work on Black Owl... though he's never tried it.
Quote:
"The very idea of anybody being exempt from my conquest sickens me. We'll see how much of a 'Sanctuary' you really are."
Desired Outcome:
Assassinated. Sencarn, the leader of Sanctuary, attempted to kill Red Crow already and failed. He blames his tight schedule for pulling out of the fight, but it was a downhill battle from the start. Anyway, Alcatraz is a threat to the city no matter how you look at him. He needs to be stopped as soon as possible.

Status: Target
Age: Unknown.
Height: 5 foot 9 inches. Approximately 175 centimeters.
Appearance:
Black Owl is a lean built fighter with almond colored skin, golden eyes, and messy dark brown curly hair. While his race isn't exactly clear, he may be a mix between African-American and Taiwanese. He wears varying baggy clothes that often blend the colors of navy blue and white in different fashions. Most notably, he wears a baggy pair of black sweatpants with a white waist-line and a matching t-shirt hoodie hybrid that works better for breezes than the actual cold.
Black Owl carries a variety of weapons. First, he wields a large sniper rifle for long-range combat since his ability allows him to easily reach vantage points. Second, he wields a spear that retracts, extends, and it's capable of being thrown with relative ease. Finally, he wields a pair of navy blue/white karambit knives for close range combat.
Personality:
Very easy to talk to, calm, and understanding, Black Owl is a nonchalant character of wiser thought than most in his age range. For a criminal, he's fairly open and kind, but can be a bit consumed with his work when it's time for him to get serious.
Black Owl is an assassin, a superhero, a folktale, a legend, etc. People leave requests under trees and the Owl tends to see and fulfill most of them. Whether it's a job as simple as defusing an argument between friends or a task as complex as weaving a delicate thread of assassinations, the first incarnation is willing to do almost anything.
Abilities:
Scene Shift- Nothing too serious. As long as he focuses and pictures himself in an area within sight or memory, Black Owl can teleport himself and others to that area with relative ease. Since this ability isn't as fluid in the heat of combat, it's mostly used to set up shots with his sniper rifle from prime positions.
Subjugate- Owl has the ability to override someone's own abilities by forcing an incapacitating weighted pressure on them. Depending on the person's resolve, this pressure can either render them unable to move(from forcing them to the ground or locking up their legs)- as though watching some horror in a dream- or be a slight inconvenience to their actions. While this ability cannot in itself be fatal in regards to the amount of pressure applied, it can certainly be annoying for someone who relies on abilities that need to be actively used, as the main function of this ability is disruption.
Equipment- Black Owl carries a variety of weapons. First, he wields a large sniper rifle for long-range combat since his ability allows him to easily reach vantage points. Second, he wields a spear that retracts, extends, and it's capable of being thrown with relative ease. Finally, he wields a pair of navy blue/white karambit knives for close range combat.
