After abandoning 3 RTD's in a row, and probably becoming hated for it, I have decided that I must REDEEM myself. Or let yet another RTD burn. Probably the second... But whatever. I know how to lock posts now, at least.
The object of this RTD is simple. You are one of six psychopaths, who has recently escaped their high security jail:
Its you against the world. You have no allies, no freinds, just people to murder, and people to betray. Rules are as follows:

Gameplay:
-Your goal is simple, survive and kill as long as you can.
-Works by posting system, I will take 6.
-Kills and certain jobs earn you money, to spend on weapons, skill training, and such.
-You are weak at first, avoid the police at all costs!
-This will be realistic at first, but as you gain more power, weird things can start to happen.
Note, this may or may not work. I'm not sure, and we'll see.
Characters:Nirur Torir:
Name: Dusk Hawk (Shush. I'm uncreative. That's why my names on this board usually come from DF language files.)
History: He grew up in the suburbs on the outskirts of a city in America in the late 1970s. On his 9th birthday, mobsters killed his parents in a drive-by shooting for accidentally insulting their leader on the phone. It had been a wrong number.
Swearing revenge, he began calling himself Dusk Hawk. With no living relatives, he was forgotten about; he began roaming the streets at night. Over the next half a year he taught himself how to kill people without getting caught, but he had several close calls. Eventually, he discovered where the mobsters were.
He botched the assassination attempt on their leader. Having broken past the security to get to the leader's room late at night, he attempted to kill the luxurious bed while it was empty. The amused mobsters decided to let him live, but framed him for serial murder. He was tried as an adult, and incarcerated for life. He is slightly insane from spending nearly all of his life in prison.

Skills: +1 Stealing, +1 Dodging

Frelock:
Name: Varsen
History: He's a psycopath with an unknown background. Ten years ago, he began a string of absolutely terrifying killings. People would disappear, only to be found weeks later in...indescribable conditions. Thirty died over the course of two years, mostly young women. He was caught trying to dispose of a body. When he was brought into the police station, he had no identification, and nothing on him save a wire coat hanger and a roll of duct tape. He was found to be very mentally unstable, and placed in a mental institution, though there was a large crowd, mostly the victims' families and freinds, that called for his death. The state will soon wish they had listened to that crowd...

Jack_Bread:
Name: Olril Pasta
History: A teen with murderous desires. He hated everything, school, his parents, his siblings, everything. He did nothing in school besides write down the names of the people he wanted dead. He was caught writing this and was suspended for a week with mandatory counseling. Fed up with waiting, he stashed a hand axe in his backpack one day. During school, he took it out and attempted to kill some people. He hacked a kid's arm off before the school security came. They wrestled him to the ground and called the cops. They placed him in prison for what he had done.

Dwarmin:
Name: Desmond White
History: A small time debt collector and assassin for the mob, Desmond quickly earned accolades for his special methods of persuasion, often involving hammers and saws. He left little in the way of remains, save a bag of bones dropped at the doorstep a week afterwards.
His downfall of course, was the mob tossing him to the police as soon as they needed to cut a deal. He went quietly, offering no resistance. Officers found several heavy-duty refrigeration units on his property, contained in which were the remains of his 9 victims-seems the psycho was eating the evidence, one crock-pot at a time.
By all rights, he should have been sentenced to death, but a combination of a good lawyer and general public squeamishness led to a life sentence. Despite these dire circumstances, he looks forward to feeding again, and soon.

1 Intimidation

He was sentanced to the mental hospital but he escaped custody with nothing but a paperclip, a comb and a few pins. The looks of pain and horror on the faces of the officers say that he know's what he's doing when torturing. He was caught again by law enforcement and was taken to jail with a short trial.
