THE STORY SO FAR
INTRODUCTION
LOW HANGING FRUIT
NIGHTCRAWLER

Welcome to the colony of Altruis. Home to four million people, Altruis is an unusually large hypercosm of human settlement in a planet largely dominated by agriculture wherever it’s flat, and heavy industry wherever it’s not. Ironically, Altruis has become anything but altruistic; since those that cannot find employment generally flock to Altruis. The city has become rife with crime, and although the local police do a noble job of keeping most neighborhoods safe, they do not have eyes everywhere, and several notable gangs have sprung.
The Red Dragon Mafia is the most “movie villain” of them them all, its members sporting tattoos and the gang itself containing a chain of command. Although by no means the most dangerous, Red Dragon has a firm grasp on the heroin trade in Altruis, and has many ties to leadership within Altruis itself.
But everything will change, and Grecino Markose will be the man to do it.
Grecino Markose grew up in Altruis, and in standard rags-to-riches growth, he wants to win the election for Mayor of Altruis, and “clean the streets”. You are one of his investigators; recruited from a nearby transporter. Your job is to protect Markose, as well as investigate any wrongdoing the current Mayor, Tolemsky, might be responsible for. You will be paid handsomely for your services, and if Markose wins the election, you should expect enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life.
Not everything is as easy as it seems, and although Markose may have good intentions for Altruis, something seems off.

Tolemsky is already the safe vote, since the population knows him. Tolemsky also controls the police, and has been known to be fairly aggressive with them.

I'm looking over it now.

For nationality, you can put whatever you want. Real world countries, made up ones, it doesn't matter. It's flavortext.

Also, I just made the points system out of 25, not 20. I'll tell you the rest in the PM

I'm actually in the process of making the sign-up sheet a form, so it'll be so much easier.

Oh no, azure you're completely perfect, baby.

I'll be inboxing your motivations and shit when we have more players. In the inbox I told you that any changes to stats would not affect you.

I am joining, just give me the next few hours. I think this has the potential to be the thinking man's forum game. I wish more people joined like Devour or Hewitt.
