Robbing a Bank: You Know You Want To

[antonarkins]

[glow=red,2,300]BANK ROBBERY IS GO - RECRUITING IN PROCESS![/glow]

The Backer: Alexander Jane Cordelle
The Artifact: The Phylactery!

Positions:

Overall Team Leader: Anton Arkins

Muscle: Sama'el Lovelace - To Be Recruited - Reason: Werewolf Aid Artifact

Tech: Tabby Whitman - To Be Recruited

Second Team Leader/Crowd Control: Clarisse Loyola - To Be Recruited - Reason: Money

Magic Knowledgeable: A magical vault means magical protection, so they'll need someone willing to work through all that magical protection to get them the goods

Driver: PC To Be Provided by Abe! - To Be Recruited

------------------------------------

So one of my major ideas for Arkins was to have him orchestrate a bank robbery for an unknown but extremely rich backer. (An NPC provided by Abe!)
This rich backer is an NPC provided by Abe. Not sure how much info will be released about him, but I feel he might show up as a legit bad guy if the proper cards are played!

Now,
Arkins needs a crew! Arkins is accustomed to a six man crew, so he'll be looking for five people to join him! Anyone interested in this need only tell me and we'll throw together some recruiting posts!

The BPRD is involved (likely to foil the attempt) so come on in BPRD members!

[Abe Sapien]

Oh gads, help me, I want to make a teammate for your crew. I have a bunch of ideas floating around already. *Sigh* No, bad Abe! >_<

But if you need a backer, I do have an idea for a NPC if no one else steps up. If it was Nuada, I'm in between. He's becoming more and more busy with his kingdom, gaining new allies and having to contend with a grumpy council. Simultaneously, he's a hands on man and if he wants something, he's going to get it himself.

I can see the Bureau getting in on this, to stop, infiltrate, whatever. I'm leaving that up to you Bureau players. I'd toss Angel in there but sadly, she sticks out like a sore thumb.

[antonarkins]

Do it Abe! Even if it's just a temporary character, I'd love to get as many people involved as possible! I suppose Abe would be too "well known," and Angel would be so anti-everything going on they would stick out hmm? So yes, make a character! Do it!

And your point about Nuada...you're right, he's way too hands on to leave a human in charge! You already told me a bit about the NPC you're thinking of, and I like it already. I am easy to please when it comes to good writers it seems :3

But yes! I'd love people to get in on this now that it is a go! JOIN TEAM EVIL! ROB A BANK! IT'S GOING TO ROCK!

[Frankie Guidicini]

I will nominate Tabby for the tech chick, if the Bureau's involved. Warning: She is a total spaz.

I'll wait to see who else might want to join before I throw my other characters in.

[sam]

Sam could be the muscle, though I would have to find a reason why he would be robbing a bank in the first place *thinks*

[Frankie Guidicini]

For fun?

[Abe Sapien]

For shame, Frankie. Shaaaame.

I have an idea or two for a driver or possible second in command. I don't play enough female characters so I might dredge up this one gal of mine, though she's as grumpy as a particular thorny lady.

[Frankie Guidicini]

Tabby told me to tell you: "Something about your mom!"

[antonarkins]

Sam - maybe the motivation is as simple as money? Or maybe he's heard of some artifact in the vault that could help him with his werewolfishness (regardless if it is real or not, could be good motivation!)

Frankie - I would love to have Tabby in (especially considering I think she's the only tech minded person in the group so I was sort of expecting/hoping/wanting her in).

Abe - Give in! GIVE IN TO AWESOME BANK ROBBERIES AND VARIOUS CRIMES. Maybe by the end the criminal ones can even form a group - like an all criminal, dark, seedy, alternate reality version of the BPRD.

[Abe Sapien]

Why do you tempt me! You're the devil! *Points heinously* But ja, I need to go digging through some things (And quit saying it and actually doing it) and see exactly what I got in storage. I am liking the idea of a criminal group of the fantastical kind.

As for that NPC, I found his bio but I hadn't written as much as I previously thought. But he's pretty much open to be used and abused.

[sam]

I think the second one sounds good for Sam, he would want to get his hands on something that could control the change, so we'll just go with that as his push to stealing from a bank :3

[antonarkins]

Oh Abe, you have no idea...Frankie can tell you, I'm quite devious. Filled with schemes, I am. I'm psyched to see your character and see how they'll fit into the team! We still need more though!

I'm going to change the OP a bit and update it as the team fills in (and make notes and such so I can keep track of stuff )
I was thinking maybe Arkins is given dossiers on some possible recruits with ways to hire them? Maybe he'll track down Sam and offer him the job with the promise that there COULD be a tool in the vault for him. Of course, I think it would be up to Abe and the other mods if that artifact ever exists. I'm thinking that dependent on the person, Arkins might do a little side job with them? Especially with people like Tabby - maybe she's undercover? Or proving that she's really into it by doing a crime or two with Arkins.

I guess it'll make it easier if the bank is in Jersey too!

So yeah...more stuff to think about, and check the OP!

[Abe Sapien]

Okay, I will work on a NPC bio for our backer so everyone can get to know the oddball. Since he will be a NPC, he wont be as detailed as a normal player character but knowing me, it will still be.

[Abe Sapien]

Double posting because I'm awesome like that. I finished the NPC's bio (It's in Registration), though please note because it's a NPC it's not as greatly detailed as a normal bio. I encompassed an idea of what he needs/wants and why he sent for a team to his dirty work. However, nothing is set in stone and I can adjust him to suit the plot as need be.

[clarisse]

Clarisse is gonna be in, when she gets accepted. ^___^
