Tell me your secret

Plot
Richard Parker has done everything he can to get to where he is today. He has crushed people, destroyed lives, and dabbled in several illegal actions. With the help of it all, Richard has reached a very high point in political society. He is a very influential man and also very powerful. Unfortunatly, there are people out there who know things, who have secrets. These people are anything from powerful to seemingly unimportant. Their secrets can bring Richard Parker down from his seat of power.

Richard knows of these secrets, or at least he knows there are people out there who have secrets that can bring him down. Thus, he has devised a plan. He has invited all those who have secrets that could help in bringing about his downfall to a dinner party at his expansive estate. He is determined to expose these secrets and either use them for his power, or destroy anyone who insists to use their secret against him.

In addition: Every guest at the party is suspected of a secret, down to the musicians/entertainment and even his house employees he has working during the party. Everyone who is not suspected has been left out of the house except for secuirity guards that patroll the estate.

Setting
Richard Parker's estate is expansive and beautiful. It is a large castle-like building with a large amount of guest rooms and studies and libraries. Several secret passageways are said to exist and it is even rumored that a dungeon lies below. There is a large greenhouse attatched to the house.

The estate is surrounded by a high stone wall with a metal gate at the end of the driveway. Richard Parker keeps horses and dogs in stables on the edge of the property. There is also a swimming pool, gardens, a hedge maze, and old servants quarters.

Past the fence is a great forest and it is ten miles of traveling to reach the nearest town. Guards patrol the property at all hours and will not hesitate to reprimand trespassers.

The story is set in the middle of a very snowy winter, and Richard Parker's party conveniently falls on a night when a large snowfall is coming in which gives him good reason to open his home and guest rooms to his party goers for the night.

Rules
-Typical YWS rules apply
-No god modding
-Please no super powered humans or magical/mythical beings. Unless you can find an amazingly unique and interesting way to use them, don't.
-Secrets should be interesting and creative, they could have to do with nearly anything at all as long as it could - in some way or another - help bring down Richard Parker. They can be as loosly related to Richard, or as directly related to Richard as you like.
-Also, I would prefer that no google images or picture links are used when creating a character. It is much more interesting and unique if you create your character all by youself. But if you can not possibly imagine a world where your beloved character doesn't have a picture of themselves for everyone to reference, have at it.

Characters
Here are the characters available to be played (If we run out of characters and someone really wants to join, or I find it suitable for more characters then we will add more.)

Also, please be creative with your character. They can be anyone from a fellow politician to the baker who owns a shop in the city or the person who does work on Richard Parker's car.

Note: For secrets, please pm me with what you wish your characters secret to be. I want to make sure we don't get any of the same secrets, that would be bad. Other than that, keep the secret, well, a secret.

Will your character join Richard Parker? Or be against him? Will they try to fight back and destroy him before they are destroyed themselves? Will they form alliances? Are there traitors in the midst? Will you try to escape? Be creative!

P.S. There will be a few 'floater' characters around, other guests and employees that also have secrets. These can be incorperated into anyones posts, but are highly disposable and will likely be some of the first Richard Parker takes action against.

Can I claim character 12? As a pianist?

I'll post the profile later.

Of course =)

hmm, suppose I should go ahead and post my characters.

Strengths/Weaknesses: Strengths: Intelligent with an imense knowledge of politics. He has control over a lot of people and has many that are loyal to him. Excellent knowledge of his estate and its grounds. Weaknesses: Acts quickly and without much thought, often acts cruelly which has created a lot of enemies for himself.

may I claim a female character?

Sure =)

Name: Hope Rosenthaw

Age: 19

Occupation: college student

Appearace: She has curly dark blonde hair that falls to the middle of her back. She has dark blue eyes and is almost 5'5. She has pale skin that burns easily in the sun. She has womanly curves, and has a little bit of a tummy, but has been told that she's very beautiful.

Her father has abused her and her mother for the past five years, when he started to drink. The day that he first hit her, she was in Richard's office, and when he hit her, Richard just stood by and laughed, egging him on. She left his office that day with a black eye and bloody nose. From that day on, she vowed that she would destroy Richard and her father.

Strengths/Weaknesses: She's very smart, and very calm, even in the worst situations. She can also detect when someone is lying. Her greatest weakness is that when she sets her mind to something, she becomes obsessive, and obbession can be a very bad thing.

Other: Up for love.

Could I have a female guest character? I'll post her profile later tonight.

May I save a spot for a male guest?

Reminder to all: Do not post your characters secret in their profile. Please pm me the secret so I can make sure that we don't get any repeats, it will make things more fun.
