The Continental (John Wick Group Game)

[Norsegod1839]

Winston : Have you thought this through? I mean, chewed down to the bone? You got out once. You dip so much as a pinky back into this pond... you may well find something reaches out... and drags you back into its depths.

John Wick: The Continental

Note: This is a prequel game, and as thus there is no fear of John Wick Chapter 3 Spoilers


Without Further ado...



"Welcome to the Continental LA's Branch, if you are checking in please be aware of the following rules...."

1. No business is to be conducted on the Hotel's Premise
2. Respect the High Table

"Here in LA Branch we offer full services for our client. If the proper payment is received one can find anything on our grounds. This includes meals, medical attention, armorers, and yes we even offer room and board for pets. For those in town for business our network of intelligence operatives can provide information if needed. This is of course all at a price."

"The only question is... will you be checking in?"

What Kind Of Game Is This

This is a prequel game set in the John Wick universe. It will involve a all new branch of the infamous hotel from the movies and is set in Los Angeles California. Players will operate in a sandbox driven setting. Players will go on hits, socialize at the hotel and deal with the intricate mythology that the John Wick Universe sets up.

The Mythology Behind The Madness

The John Wick Universe has a deep, rich, and somewhat complicated set of rules and regulations. The movies have expanded on it slightly but there are still a lot of unknowns. In order to make it somewhat stream lined I want to clarify a few things on the offset.


1. Services within the continentals universe are paid with gold coins. These gold coins are also given out by the continental essentially making it a bank and a hotel. Coins act as a business card of sorts and the greater the reputation the less coins you need and vice versa new comers to the Continental might be expected to pay with more coins or pay with cash.
2. A marker is given when one assassin asks another assassin for a big favor. If this favor is completed the assassin who asked for the favor gives a blood oath to the assassin who completed the favor. That blood oath can not be rescinded, an assassin that runs from completing their blood oath is considered excomunicado
3. Excomunicado is the revocation of membership to the Continental and it's services this can be followed by a contract opening up against the assassin if the situation calls for it

The Hunt

Players will be given contracts and hits to complete in the LA area, these hits will range the gambit. Player assassins can team up or compete against the hit with me moderating the action. None of the targets will be unreachable and one should expect to kill them. Players teaming up might face harder opposition, while players competing on a hit will have to work faster to get the kill before the other.

Management

I will be playing the management for the hotel as well. Hotel positions are open to those who are interested. However if there are no hotel positions taken I will fill in for the Armorers, Seamstresses, and Medical staff of the Continental.

Biography

Mark Phillips was once a US Army Sniper. During his times oversea he racked up an impressive kill count and only half of that count is available for public record. It didn't matter what target you gave him, he would deliver and fulfill any mission parameters he was given. People described him as polite and friendly, and his own squad had nothing but good things to say about him even if it seemed they didn't really KNOW him.

Then after eight years of duty he got out on an honorable discharge and now one heard from him for a year. It was only when High Value Targets began to appear dead via his MO that people started looking for him. By then Mark Phillips was a ghost, having changed his name. He did contract work until he caught the eye of the High Table who auditioned him for the role of Manager. He accepted the job and the responsibilities that came with it. He has served for three years as the "management" of the hotel.

You gonna use a system for this? Somehow a game that involves guns... lots of guns, would benefit from a system for at least battle.

[Norsegod1839]

I debated it but honestly I have no experience with system games. Never played a single one and I don't know if I would be able to properly Gm it.

I can understand the desire to use it however my thinking was that there wouldn't be a real focus on player vs player and stuff like that. Essentially if your given a assassination target in this game I'd create a situation where it might be challenging and fun but leave it up to the player to accurately portray themselves in a realistic manner.

[Lynnette]

I'm interested, perhaps a bit late but. I'm liking the idea of playing a black market doctor ^^

[Dominique]

I only watched John Wick for the first time last week, and I think your idea is amazing.

No joke I watched both of the first movies on Saturday last week.

I haven't watched 2 yet, still waiting for it to be on Dutch Netflix I thoroughly enjoyed the original though!

[Norsegod1839]

Glad to see some interest!

I feel like two is just as good as one, I recently saw three which was pretty amazing in and of itself. I figured putting is as a prequel would help though for everyone else.

With the interest shown I will get the Cs up shortly.

A Tattoo of Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday on her left thigh and "Revenge is not a good thing, it's better to forget" on her collar bone. She enjoys a wide variety of clothes it's hard to pin down her tastes.

Personality and History

Personality

Laid back and cocky are usually the first two things that come to mind when Billie first meets someone. That and flirty. Her cocky behavior stems from her high self confidence in her abilities. She is stubborn as a mule at times and really hates to lose, as such to her defeat is simply not an option and her determination and perseverance often stand out matched only by her loyalty to her friends/allies and her relaxed nature. Billie often is an adventurous smart ass who is always up for a interesting mission or a thrilling task. Known to sometimes lack things like manners or occasionally toe boundaries, she is brave and quite ready to jump in the fire to save a friend. She would rather wing things out rather than actually plan them as she is generally a quick thinker but she is not an idiot and is capable of planning and strategizing. It's just that she doesn't care to do it when she is so good damned gifted. Billie is determined to be the best marksman ever, to become a living legend. 

Biography

Billie was born to Mr. & Mrs. Jenkins a seemingly normal all american family. However her parents were far from normal. Her father alone was particularly known as a three-time Olympic gold medalist in pistol shooting. Her mother was a "cleaner" for a company. If they had a problem her mother "cleaned" it right up. It was a mutual love and rivalry between gun lovers that caused these two trigger happy lovebirds to decide to form a family together. Billie's father knew some but not all the detail's in his wife's secret life. However he was too blindly in love to care and sought only to make her as happy as she did him. Together they were lost in their own little world and when Billie was born her mother and father named her that because one day she would have a quickdraw to rival the stuff of legend. So on that day she was dubbed Billie "The Kid" Jenkins.

At a very young age her parents got her used to guns and the like. While other kids learned their ABC's from kid shows or story books her father and mother helped her learn them with the use of various guns, parts, cleaners, and ammo. It was a unique childhood to say the least. As she grew up she learned that her family was anything but normal despite the masks they wore for the general population. At the age of ten they told her the truth about her little family as they deemed it a necessity for her to be aware of her surroundings. It was at this time that her father and mother started to drill her on gun safety and marksmanship. It started off as a game and soon when she started showing a natural aptitude for guns, especially pistols, they started pushing her to be better. To get better. Hours and hours she learned to handle a gun and at the start it was fun, cool even, but soon it started to steadily grow into more and more of a burden. She started wanting to go out with friends or see normal stuff like going to the movies. She wanted to not have to carry a small two shot derringer hidden within her backpack or sleeves when possible. But her parents insited she keep up with her "training" but soon started to fight over who she would be taking after. Her father wanted her to follow in his footsteps, citing that she was BORN to be a pistolier. While her mother wanted her daughter to take up her mantle as an assassin or "cleaner" as she said it. To end their feuding they decided to take her "training time" and split it up. It was strange for her to be tugged on by both parents for something like shooting a gun but this was her life and while she knew this was not normal she really didn't care and wanted her parents off her back so she could do normal stuff in her free time what little she had. So she learned to fight with her hands and a knife, while they were not guns she learned to use some tips and lessons about guns to help her gain mastery. Her mother told her that ALL true fighting all forms of it when looked at closely enough and deeply enough if taught by a true master could tie into anything. The principles were universal, no matter the "art" or "form" and was something her mother was trying to teach her. But one day when she was 15 her mother never came back from a "clean". It was a dark time for the Jenkins family and one that would remain in Billie's heart forever. It was on that day her father started to turn cruel. He started drilling her marksmanship, putting her in high stress situations and forcing her to perfect a quick-draw even better than his own. Day after day he did this, she could see in his eyes that he was a different person than before. The loss of his wife had left him broken and not right. He no longer saw his daughter in front of him and started to inflict punishments on her for failures. Finally the chance came for her to prove to her father that all their time, effort and pain had been for something when he placed her in a tournament. She placed third in a shooting competition, and there she decided to run away from home.

She had messed up twice only because she had been afraid of what would happen to her if she failed. If she lost. Her father said that he would use this belt he had that was studded across her back and legs if she missed. She had been too nervous and scared to concentrate and so she missed..twice. That was all it took and from then on in the competition she could feel his eyes and anger on her. So she ran. For weeks she lived on the streets, stealing and hustling people to dart games to make a few bucks. One day a man found her, a man who was once a fellow "cleaner" like her mother. He had been in love with her though her mother never felt the same way since she had eyes sorely for her father. He took her in, gave her a place to stay and for 2 years she had a nice home. Then one day she saw a picture of her mother with a group of people in a fancy hotel and she asked for the story behind it since she was curious as to her mother's "cleaning." She wanted to know if this was the "company". Reluctantly she was told the story of how The Continental worked, the rules, and way of life. It was thrilling. It was different. It was a way she could hold onto her mom. Wanting to follow her mom's footsteps she begged the older man she now knew as Domovoi to get her foot in the door. He refused. At least until she showed him her skill with a gun. A pistol. That was all he needed to stake his reputation and one last favor to get her a chance to prove herself. Now Billie has been in "the business" for a year now. And her Quickdraw reputation usually proceeds her as well as her accuracy with pistols.

The Basics
Legal Name: Marie LeBlanc
Alias: Earned the name "La Valkyrie" in France, and it stuck even after moving to the US.
Age: 39
Gender: Female
Profession: Black market doctor



Physical Description
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 145lbs
Face Claim: Jennifer Ashton
General Appearance: Not a whole lot to add beyond what can be seen in the pictures, but she has a caduceus tattooed to her left forearm. Generally held up well for her age, and comes off as a shapely woman with a larger bust and rear. While it doesn't tie in directly to her physical appearance, she speaks with a thick French accent.

Personality and History

Personality

Comes off about as one expect. Patient, polite, understanding are key tropes, and paint a fair image of how she behaves normally. Beyond this, she comes off as charismatic, resourceful and damned intelligent. Had she not lost her license, there is little doubt she'd be in the top bracket of medical professionals just about anywhere, and well, even without it she still is.

Biography

Not much of interest happened until she graduated high school. Marie was from a good family, and did excellent in school. While her immediate plans were to enter med-school, she somehow managed to bewilder herself into the SSA, the French Defense Health Force. At the time, she saw it as a good chance to get a lot of experience, and she stayed with the branch for seven years, meaning a few extra years after schooling was done, before pulling out and seeking work in the Saint Louis hospital in Paris, where she would go on to work for a few more years.

Well, while she'd happily work there out her working life, fate wouldn't have it be. As things went awry during surgery to a VIP due to unforeseen circumstances, namely misinformation from the person with his gut cut open, the patient died. Had it been just anyone, it would probably have flied just fine, but with the man now dead on the table being as important as he was, the blame had to be pinned on someone. Being the chief operator of the theater, Marie ended up shouldering all of it and had her license revoked. She on her hand wouldn't have any of it and had every intent to continue working, license or not.

And as luck would have it, she had the affiliates that could make just that happen. A man by the name of Tomas Moreau who worked in the civil defense, more specifically maintaining the underground bunkers littering the Paris metro. While it took a bit of convincing, he was surprisingly lenient about it. perhaps because he was the only one actively working with the old bunkers, or in part because he was some conspiracy nut who believed just about everything to be corrupt. Station Valkyrie, a part of the Paris underground that was planned but never completed, perfect for a doctor seeking to the underground. While initially limited by economy, Tomas had a surprisingly good network of people interested in black market medicine, and a strange ability to procure the machines to make it all go around. The nickname La Valkyrie eventually started to show up on conspiracy nut forums and the likes, and business was booming for a good stretch of time. Marie ended up getting a good network on her part thanks to the clientele.

All was well for several years and she got quite the renown. Luckily the customers were just as worried about word reaching too far as she was, so she could operate in secrecy for a good stretch of time. The thing that eventually forced her out was plans to expand the Paris metro, including Station Valkyrie. As much as she wished to continue working there, the place actually looking like a proper operating room after several years of construction and procurements, it was clear it was time to bounce. Thanks to some connections she'd made, she'd gotten familiar with the Continental through the Paris branch, that including the expansions in the US. Figuring it was a nice chance to move forth, and to get rid of any potential heat to her name with how frequent the underground clinic had started to be mentioned on forums and the likes, it seemed like a good way to move forth.

Weapons & Equipment

Weapons:
While she doesn't actively play part with contracts and the likes, Marie keeps herself armed, mainly for personal safety. She owns a few different handguns and rifles. The mainstays however are as follows;

Glock 17

FAMAS F1

Equipment:

While it's not directly a physical piece of equipment, she has access to medical and police databases, and is able to alter them should the need arise. Aside from that, a proper and well-equipped operating room, and a cellphone.

Skills

Skill Name:
Medical professional - Marie would without a doubt have been one of the leading members of her field had her license not been revoked. Even without it she still is for that sake. Her skill-range is wide, very wide, anything from consultations to transplants.

Medical procurements - Anything from pain-pills to chloroform to organs. Generally, if a hospital stocks it, she can get it, and if it doesn't, she can usually procure it in a different way. Should the unfortunates happen and someone gets admitted through an ambulance, she can access and strike records as well.

Gunmanship - While she's certainly no killer for hire, she is well competent with firearms, enough to defend herself if nothing else, and her experience from the SSA taught her plenty about how to behave while under fire. even if it's been a long while since.

Linguistics - Speaks perfect French and less than impressive English. Beyond this she speaks Italian quite well.

But her parents insited she keep up with her "training" but soon started to fight over who she would be taking after. Her father wanted her to follow in his footsteps, citing that she was BORN to be a pistolier. While her mother wanted her daughter to take up her mantle as an assassin or "cleaner" as she said it. To end their feuding they decided to take her "training time" and split it up. It was strange for her to be tugged on by both parents for something like shooting a gun but this was her life and while she knew this was not normal she really didn't care and wanted her parents off her back so she could do normal stuff in her free time what little she had. So she learned to fight with her hands and a knife, while they were not guns she learned to use some tips and lessons about guns to help her gain mastery. Her mother told her that ALL true fighting all forms of it when looked at closely enough and deeply enough if taught by a true master could tie into anything. The principles were universal, no matter the "art" or "form" and was something her mother was trying to teach her. But one day when she was 15 her mother never came back from a "clean". It was a dark time for the Jenkins family and one that would remain in Billie's heart forever. It was on that day her father started to turn cruel. He started drilling her marksmanship, putting her in high stress situations and forcing her to perfect a quick-draw even better than his own. Day after day he did this, she could see in his eyes that he was a different person than before. The loss of his wife had left him broken and not right. He no longer saw his daughter in front of him and started to inflict punishments on her for failures. Finally the chance came for her to prove to her father that all their time, effort and pain had been for something when he placed her in a tournament. She placed third in a shooting competition, and there she decided to run away from home.

She had messed up twice only because she had been afraid of what would happen to her if she failed. If she lost. Her father said that he would use this belt he had that was studded across her back and legs if she missed. She had been too nervous and scared to concentrate and so she missed..twice. That was all it took and from then on in the competition she could feel his eyes and anger on her. So she ran. For weeks she lived on the streets, stealing and hustling people to dart games to make a few bucks. One day a man found her, a man who was once a fellow "cleaner" like her mother. He had been in love with her though her mother never felt the same way since she had eyes sorely for her father. He took her in, gave her a place to stay and for 2 years she had a nice home. Then one day she saw a picture of her mother with a group of people in a fancy hotel and she asked for the story behind it since she was curious as to her mother's "cleaning." She wanted to know if this was the "company". Reluctantly she was told the story of how The Continental worked, the rules, and way of life. It was thrilling. It was different. It was a way she could hold onto her mom. Wanting to follow her mom's footsteps she begged the older man she now knew as Domovoi to get her foot in the door. He refused. At least until she showed him her skill with a gun. A pistol. That was all he needed to stake his reputation and one last favor to get her a chance to prove herself. Now Billie has been in "the business" for a year now. And her Quickdraw reputation usually proceeds her as well as her accuracy with pistols.

Alias: Eureka
Age: 24
Gender: Cis-Female



Physical Description
Height: 5’6” (163 cm)
Weight: 105 lbs (48 kg)
Face Claim: Kiko Mizuhara
General Appearance: Eureka wears a huge variety of outfits depending on the situation or job. When she’s not on a job she tends towards dark leather jackets, revealing tops, and jeans. She rarely lets her hair grow beyond shoulder length. She also has been known to dress as a Sukeban especially when she wants to spend time with her old crew or shock people in her home country.

Personality and History

Personality

Eureka is a social chameleon, whether she needs to be the coy and naive ingénue, the “exotic” seductive sex kitten, the bad ass stickup girl, or the anarchic, violent, and psychotic neo-Sukeban she is whatever she needs whenever she needs to be.All so she can get herself in a position to cancel her target in the manner requested by her client.

Biography

Yuriko Nozick was born as the daughter of a wealthy powerful American businessman father and a Japanese college student. Spirited away to the United States early in her life, Yuri suffered under her father’s cruel abuse for her first ten years before being shipped back to Japan to her poor, alcoholic, and neglectful mother. When Yuriko wasn’t suffering at home she suffered in school from the other students who mocked her for her ethnic background, her status as an immigrant, and her struggles with the Japanese language.

It was no surprise that Yuriko responded to this difficult childhood by lashing out, often violently. Despite getting stellar grades Yuriko found herself in trouble with school authorities or police. Eventually, she was sent to a school for juvenile delinquents. Embracing her role as a future violent criminal wholeheartedly, Yuriko starts to go by the name “Eureka” and becomes a gang leader of other violent girls (aka sukeban), leading them on a campaign of robbery, vandalism, assault, and sex. Her crowning achievement comes when she organized a particularly well planned and vicious retribution on a group of young Yakuza associates in revenge for the sexual assault of one of her gang members.

This act gains Eureka the attention of a member of a certain occupational field that operates just under the surface of respectable society: the world of assassins. Training under her new teacher, Eureka takes to murder for hire like a duck to water. It soon becomes clear that her aggression, eccentricity, and love of loud and unique fashion sense gives her quite an interesting specialty: When you want your victim to die in a spectacular and unique way, few assassins are as good as Eureka. Chains, swords, automatic firearms, or even seduction and brutal stabbing on a pulsating dance floor, Eureka becomes known as one of the most talented up and comers.

Swordsmanship: With long blades, Eureka’s style is brutal, inelegant, direct...and effective.
Gunmanship: Up close and personal, Eureka is excellent with short distances and quick drawing fast enough to keep up with players from the Old West, not to mention those in New York, LA, or Tokyo.
