The Assassin Brotherhood

This is based off of Assassins creed. The world will be different, but many things will be the same as well. Before i give any more description I just want to say that I would not like you to join unless you are dedicated. No offense to anyone, but I am tired of storybooks dying after a couple of pages because someone looses interest. That said, on with the description.

THE WORLD
The story will take place in a holy land very closely resembling the land fought over in the crusades. It is full of deserts, clear seas, and tall mountains. Near water the land is thick with impenetrable jungle. It is an inhospitable land, yet it has been the center of warfare over two hundred years. Of the three peoples existing there now, two have existed there for centuries, while one is a new comer seeking to reclaim the land that was promised to it by its gods.

The Khanates: The Khanate are a tall dark people that have lived in the country for centuries. They have a very old religion that they believe gives them the right to the land. They favor light, loose clothing generally made of silk, or other such rich material. They are very aloof and generally favor the positions of aristocrats.

The Cenarians:They share the same dark skin of the Khanates but they are shorter and generally more burly. Their religion is also very old, and some believe that its origins were the same as the Khanates. They are very hard working down to earth people. They favor darker clothing made out of tough fabrics like leather and lenin. They prefer to do meaningful work and take up jobs like blacksmiths and fletchers.

The Nords: The Nords are the white skinned people of the north. Their religion spread out of this land, and now they have come to reclaim what they believe to be rightly theirs. They are generally tall with light skin and blond hair. They take on a variety of different jobs and seem to have no racial preference. They have adapted their clothing style to that of the people they live around.

Most people alive do not remember when the feud started. For the commoners it is but background noise. But religious fanatics would not see an end to it. They have prolonged a conflict that by all means should have ended long ago. In the past several years there has however been a unsteady peace. That peace is on the edge of a sword and is about to fall. The Nords have discovered powerful artifacts that they intend to use to obliterate the Khanates, and the Cenarians.

THE ASSASSINS
The brotherhood is a group of warrior assassins that keeps the peace. They operate in the shadows and keep total war from erupting. The brotherhood operates by a simple code that they use to rule the night:

1. never stain your blade with the blood of an inoccent
2. Hide in plain sight
3. Never compromise the brother hood

The brotherhood is located in a small mountain stronghold that is a secret in plain sight. Everyone knows it is there, but no one knows the Assassins are based there. Every assassin has a rank:

Student
Novice
Average
Warrior
knight
Master

There are three masters that rule the assassins. They assign the hits, and create the strategies. All of them are master assassins that sometimes take missions if they are high priority (I will play them in the beginning). Your job will be to try to keep the peace and contain the conflict. You will be given jobs ranging from assassination to information planting. You will travel all over the land and visit each of three cities. Acre, the Nord city, Damascus, the Khanate city, and Aden the Calderian city. There are many other cities you will travel too but those are the biggest in the region.

RULES
- Your character does not have to be an assassin, but he must be affiliated with them in some way (I.E. a corrupt city guard that gives information to the brotherhood etc.)

- Killing. You can kill anyone you want and the brotherhood will protect you from the normal law, but they will exact their own on you if you break the code. You are trained killers so you are good at what you do, but you are not gods. You can be killed, and you do mess up.

- Magic. It exists in the form of talent, most people have it, but most in doses to small to really do anything, or they are oblivios to the fact that they have it. You may have talent, but it is not all powerful, it is quickly expended, and can only be recharged by resting. Each persons talent adapts to however the user needs it most, so be creative. There are mages, but again, they are rare.

- Technology. Technology is that of the middle ages (swords, bows, etc.). Items can be magically enhanced, and there are powerful magic artifacts, but the Masters have control of them.

- Relationships. You are assassins. Hard killers. This is not your best area. Some may try it, but most will shun it. An assassin who loves, is an assassin that can be killed. If you do try a relationship you may have sex, but no descriptions what so ever.

-Abide by all other rules of YWS.

Name: Lily Baser

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Rank: Warrior

Personality: She has two personalities basically, you might call her bi-polar. Off the field and during training is is a lighthearted and loves everyone and when she is on a mission/in a her killing mode she is a hot headed, easily annoyed and yet still sweet.

like for example:

"Your a monster!"

"I'm not you are darling" smiles sweetly and kills.

Appearance: Ivory skin and striking blue eyes. She has medium length brown hair that she keeps up most of the time and isn't very tall (quite short frankly).

History: Doesn't know her past and was discovered at a very young age in a small village (do I smell drama??) She was discovered by a Master and quickly rose through the ranks, she is on the edge of becoming a knight right now.

Strengths: Can deal with external pain quite well and can parkour.

Weaknesses: Cannot kill infront of children and refuses to. When children are about she distracts them somehow and then kills the adult nearby.

Weapons: Knives and knives and knives and all pointy sharp objects

Likes/ Dislikes: Food and smiling/ when people ask her how old she is



Other: Up for love (because i think that could be a fun challenge!)

My character

Name: Altair Blint

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Rank: Knight

Personality: He has a strong yet complicated sense of morals. He will not take jobs that break those morals, no matter what the pay. When he is on a job he becomes deadly serious and extremely professional. However, when he is not on a job, he can be considered lazy by some. He is almost never on time. He loves to make sarcastic comments abot things people say.

Appearance: He is a mix of Norse and Cenarian blood. He has the light skin of the Nords, but he is short and broad of shoulder. He stands about 5'6''. He has dark unruly hair and light amber eyes. When he's on a job he wears the standard assassins uniform (like Altair from Assassins Creed) but he sometimes wears a mask shaped like a skull.

History: He was born to a very rich and powerful family. When he was a child everyone in his household was all killed by a free assassin. He walked home to find all of his familly killed with their bodies arranged so that all of their blood was drained out. He found out that the person who killed them was still there. He tried to fight, but was quickly overpowered. A brotherhood assassin saved him, but did not kill the murderer, and brought him back to the monastary.

He decided that he would train and learn how to kill so that he could avenge his family and friends. He trained for ten years and found that he had a natural talent for killing. He had very steady hands, and not much fased him anymore. he used his talents to become heartless, awaiting the day when he would find revenge. When he was eighteen he killed the assassin.

After he was done he looked at himself and saw the monster that he had become. He hated what his obsession had turned him into so he modeled his life on three principles; Justice, Retribution, and Mercy.

Strengths: He is extremely fast. he has mastered the use of most weapons, and he has a wide array of poisons as well. He is mildly Talented.

Weaknesses: His morals prevent him from doing many things, but at the same time he posesses a very hot temper that he sometimes has trouble controlling. His morals are often beyond many people, so he is often seen as a heartless killing machine.

Likes/ Dislikes: I guess I'll just reveal that through writing

Weapons: He preffers to use close combat weapons like swords an knives but he can use a bow and a crossbow. He generally has a disdain for crossbows because he feels that everyone can use them. He always carries a gladius style blade, a longer Katana sword, and knives that are hidden all over his body.

Other: He is up for as much love as an assassin can have. In his 13 years as an assassin he has taken over a hundred jobs and has only missed one kill because he descovered the target was not guilty of any crime. Also, Altair Blint is not his true name.

-----

The Masters
All you need to know is that their names are Steven, Jacob, and Kyra. They are all very good and heavily Talented. I will write individual bio's as it becomes neccesary.

Name: Kyra

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Rank: Master

Personality: She is a very motherly person. She is always bringing in orphans and slaves into the brotherhood, even if they do not become assassins. Do not let this fool you. She is still one of the greatest assassins in the world, and will not hesitate to kill you in a second. She loves to laugh and is generally a happy person. This happiness transfers over to other people and makes them want to follow her.

Appearance: She is a tall Nordic woman. She has medium length brown hair that she keeps in a loose bun most of the time. Her skin is more tan than most of her kind. Her eyes are a light blue. Sh normally wears the black assassins uniform of a master, but when not actively working she relaxes and puts on other clothes.

History: She joined the Brotherhood when she was ten years old. Her father was a target of one of the assassins, and when she witnessed the assassination. The assassin would not kill her so he brought her to the brotherhood. Once there she became quick friends with Altair. Even from a young age she would being people to the brotherhood. Sometimes she was mocked for it, but most people admired her for the compassion that was so rare with most assassins. She is the youngest recorded master.

Strengths: She is fast, and good with most weapons. She does not have any one specialty, but is instead very proficient at everything.

Weaknesses: She is very compassionate, and that sometimes makes her unable to finish a kill and she becomes easily attached.

Other:

-----

Appearance: he is tall and golden skinned. His eyes are the same blue as his sister. He has short curly dark brown hair. he is skinny, but still muscular.

Other:

Save me a spot! This could be interesting...one question though: What side are the assasins on? (The Nords, Khanates, or the Cenarians) Or they on their own side??

JC
Maybe I have to know what Assasin's Creed is. : - ?

Its a game. you can look it up on wikipedia and youtube to get an idea of what the assassins can do at knight level. Sides. The assassins are on no ones side. They kill leaders in the conflict as well as anyone who does wrong against the people. They are basically trying to keep the peace, they dont care who they have to kill to do that. The assassins come from every country. they also act as a sort of global police.

This seems interesting, I'll save myself a spot and post later.

*JC: their own side*

Oh ok. That makes a way more sense. I get it now. Though, since I've obviously never played the game before can I still join? I don't want to drop out because I don't know what's going on. : - ?

JC

of course, ill be making the plot, so it wont be exactly like the game. no knowledge of the game is required, but I do recomend you look up some gameplay on youtube.

Ok, cool! Just wanted to make sure...

Name: September (Ember)

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Rank: Warrior

Personality: Ember is always trying to fill her brother Steven's, a Master, footsteps despite their differences. She is less ruthless and follows her heart in conflict rather than her head. Ember is very loving and becoming an assassin doesn't always line up with her morals but having a famous older brother makes her kill anyway. On the other hand, her loving heart can also equate to revengeful and protective which also fuels her to murder.

Appearance: Steven looks pure Khante but Ember has a mixed race look. Her skin is a golden brown tone yet she has penetrating blue eyes. She is taller than most and remarkably slender. Her hair is the same color as her skin; chin-lenghth and curly usually worn with a woven red headband.

History: Ember’s and Steven’s parents were killed in a fire when they were young. They are unaware of which group of people who started the fire. Ember doesn’t remember her parents at all but Steven does somewhat. During their childhood, they lived with whoever would take them in. When Ember was twelve, a man named Grey gave them shelter and told them about the brotherhood as he himself was a Master. Ever since, Ember and Steven have been training as assassins.

Strengths: Gifted with swords and knives. Basically anything with a sharp edge, Ember can throw, stab, and slice. Strong in general and good at spying.

Weaknesses: Her heart. Doesn’t want to kill just anyone especially children or anyone else that could be innocent. Can be stubborn and rebellious in the worst times possible.

Likes/ Dislikes: Dislikes: Snotty snobby people and anyone who is mean without good reason. Likes: Small children and crafts. The night - Ember can be seen lying on the ground in the middle of the night, looking at the stars.

Weapons: Knives, swords, daggers, etc. Ember also owns a tall wooden staff, a favorite of hers.

Other: Well assassins don’t blend with love very well it seems….but whatever. Up for love.

(I hope this is ok! I know this incorporates Steven, I can make his profile if I really need to.)

Name: Nmret Tyrel (known by last name only)

Age:19

Gender: Male

Rank: Warrior

Personality: Tyrel lives his life much the way he completes missions: as a silent shadow. There and gone, untraceable, unreadable, mysterious. To say the least, he's introverted. He barely talks, and when he does the sound is unsettling- a quiet, rasping whisper. He has a hard time with the first law of the code, because he tends to think that nobody's innocent. He is a cold killer, having been drained of compassion when he was a child, and a dang good one at that.

Tyrel prides himself on his athleticism and flexibility; he can contort himself so fully that he is able to bypass nearly every doorway and is very adept at leaping, climbing, flipping, etc. This is one of the things about himself that he is truly proud of. His people skills are a whole other matter- though his silence is useful in a crowd and on a mission, it's a bit of an annoyance to some of the other Assassins. He rarely speaks to any of them.

The only thing Tyrel does speak to regularly is his trained hawk, Sryhi. He regards Sryhi as a tool, a partner perhaps, but does have a bit of a soft spot for the bird. Especially because Sryhi is excellent at his job.

Appearance: At 6'3", Tyrel is on the tall side for his age- he has always been. Despite his lankiness though, he is incredibly well-muscled. Because his father was a Cenarian and his mother a Nord, his skin is a light mocha color which showcases the tone of his biceps and sets off his light hazel eyes. Dark black hair is cropped military style, but hidden under the hood of his Assassin uniform.

Tyrel keeps his weapons in much better condition than his cloth, because though his uniform is definitely white, it is decorated by a number of scuff marks, tears, and stains. The only personal touch he's made to the uniform is that the sleeves are black instead of the standard white, and his boots are darker.

But, as most soon discover, the mark of recognition no longer lays in clothing when uniformed, but in stance. Tyrel stands decidedly aggressive, with legs slightly braced and knees barely bent, and holds his head down like a hunting tiger so that his eyes are not visible under his hood. This, combined with the trained hawk (complete with hood and jesse's) gives him a sinister and secretive, but not suspicious, appearance.

History: Born to a poor family, Tyrel's father died at age 6 of a sickness. His mother left him, which accounts for some of the reason he distrusts, and he was forced to fend for himself. He lived on the streets for years until he caused a bit too much trouble for the Brotherhood to allow. He was picked up at age 9 and has trained with the Brotherhood ever since. Because he was eager to learn and naturally talented, he progressed rather quickly. When he was 14, he stole Syrhi from a well-known breeder and trained her to scout his prey and to even execute basic, but deadly, attacks on command.(sorry this is short, but because Tyrel doesn't like to think about his History, I don't want to give much away. Not that there is much to give away...)

Strengths: Strength, cunning, stealth, flexibility, resilience to pain

Weaknesses: Sryhi, communication, lack of trust, inhuman disconnectedness

Likes/ Dislikes: thrill of the hunt, belonging, adrenaline, Sryhil, small spaces/people, blood, communication, personal questions, reminders

Weapons: Tyrel's favorite weapons are knives, because of their versatility. He is particularly fond of the hidden knives which jut from the back of his hands. A bow-and-arrow is his next favorite, because it's hard to track. Then a sword. He likes to keep it simple, so he just has a bow over his shoulder, a shaft of arrows, a dozen or so hidden knives, and twin blades.

Other: Up for love, I guess.

Name: Spencer Hart

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Rank: Warrior

Personality: Spencer is a quiet natured girl with a kind heart. She is always trying to find a way to help people in any way she can. In a sense Spencer is insane but it only shows in the heat of battle (she'll go completely overboard in training sessions and it'll seem as if she is really trying to kill her teachers/fellow assassins). Also she comes on as if she's an idiot, but this is only because she isn't usually around people and doesn't know how to deal with them so if you get into a conversation with her she'll start rambling on about random things. Spencer loves to play so it’s like she is still a young child.

Appearance: Spencer has jet-black hair always cut into a pixie fashion (so that it doesn't get in her way). Her eyes are a light brown color and framed with thick lashes. Spencer’s skin is so pale it’s basically translucent and she has a face dusted with freckles. She is very tall for her age and abnormally skinny, making it easy for her to move swiftly and silently. When on duty she wears a black cloak, no shoes (she never wears shoes) and a dark grey scarf that she wraps around her face.

History: Not much is known about Spencer accept that she is the daughter of a Khanate man and Nord woman and that she and her twin brother were brought to the Brotherhood when they were toddlers.

Strengths: Tight places/Night/Shadows/Forests filled with trees/Blood/ etc.

Weaknesses: Open environments/The sun/Crowds of people/Loud people/ etc.

Likes/ Dislikes:

She likes boys, small and dark environments, fire, massive amounts of sweets, shiny objects, random toys, etc.

She dislikes loud people, the sun and open environments, ice, health food, etc.

Weapons: Spencer’s weapon is an incredibly tall, black scythe with odd, silver symbols decorating the blade.

Other: Up for love if you can handle her Also, Spencer sort of has magical powers.

Name: Niles Hart

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Rank: Warrior

Personality: Niles’ nature is completely opposite of his twin sister, he’s loud and reckless but like his sister, he has a kind heart and is prepared to help anyone who needs it. He is always at is sister’s side, making sure the insane part of her stays hidden in the shadows. In his mind he sees that it’s his duty to protect Spencer. Niles usually acts all big, bad and overly confident because he doesn’t want people to see him as weak. He’s smart when he wants to be and loves to pick fights.

Appearance: Niles has incredibly messy, jet-black hair and his eyes are a darker shade of brown than his sister’s. His skin is so pale it’s basically translucent and he is abnormally tall for his age and is very skinny, making it easy for him to move swiftly and silently.

Hry everyone, thanks for joining, just thought of some more information that will pertain to the story. Whenever you are about to get a job I will P.M. you with the details of whatever you have to do, as well as any information that may be needed to advance the plot, or for any other reason. The details of the hit may be shared unless otherwise stated. The extra information is NOT to be shared. It is something that will happen WHILE you are completing the job, and your character will not know it will happen.

None of this means anything now, but you'll understand when I start making things happen. I will only be pulling strings in the beginning, after I set everything up, I'll let you do pretty much what you want, as long as you move towards the final objective.

And what is the final objective? *confused* XD

you'll find out as soon as we've established our characters
