The whole point of the Let's Play is that we all work together to make something... So, let's make an RP together, while playing it... I know this was done already but this is gonna be different.

To add to the story, just play along and just pretend you know what the story is, that will fill out the blanks, but don't go against what is written.

Players
Name of Vessel: Electra
Age: at least 20?
Description: basically the same as the last one. Deep blue braided hair, black crop top and leggings, very menacing.
Skills: Removing obstructions by any means necessary.
Powers: The ability to shift into an intangible spectral form, allowing movement through solid surfaces and flight to some degree. Limited in its use and requires a substantial amount of enery. Really don't make a lot of sense cause her name implies some kind of ability involving electricity but maybe that'll come later.
Weapons: High-frequency chainsaw and custom frame machine pistol based off an FN Five seveN for the purpose of brrrrting people that get slightly too far.
{insert your own line here}: No, I will not do the cat thing. You could give me literally any incentive and I still wouldn't do it.
Name of Vessel: Jack Carter
Age: 41
Description: Sharp haircut, suit, tie, political flair, and shifty black sunglasses. Wants to kill the hyper-capitalists.
Skills: Offscreen presidential campaigning, managing his team, and otherwise giving me an excuse not to worry about the nitty gritty of politics and instead focus on action movie explosions
Powers: War Hero combat knowledge, getting killed dramatically in the final act
Weapons: systemic change and radicalist revolutionary fervor... and a few bodyguards.
Other: back by the foreign national power of the Coaltion of Acireman Socialist States and their oil baronsName of Vessel: Captain April
Age: Yes
Description: Captain of the High Tide, a steampunk zeppelin (it's actually very reasonable to have in this world of guns, action movie explosions, and chainsaws trust me) used for cargo transportation between cities as the valleys below tend to leave other types of transportation non-desirable. May or may not currently be in crippling debt.
Skills: Piloting zepplins and general agility.
Powers: Can obtain movies for free.
Weapons: Shotgun :)
{insert your own line here}: Will probably not have anything to do with the assassination plotline other than having a generally good opinion of that Jack Carter guy but will have everything to do with the valley plotline.Name of Vessel: Paul Jordan
Age: Around 160s
Description: At daytime a birthday/stage magician(black tophat, black suit, black pants, and a regular looking wand, young face with a moustache), by night a master sorcerer(very old face(long white beard, wrinkles everywhere), a maroon hat, and one of those maroon and orange trenchcoat thing wizard's wear, and what seems to be a regular magic wand but is actually a staff) in search for a worthy recipient
Skills: Sneaky and very agile for his age. Can use his staff as a physical weapon(as an actual staff that hits things) very well.
Powers:Magic, and a whole lot, but he doesn't like using it much
Weapons: A magic staff hidden as one of those fake magician wands
{insert your own line here}: Magic is so boring, it doesn't have any rules! You can do whatever you like, which is what made me start not liking magic much. Now I am one of those stage magicians and birthday magicians. Much more fun because there are rules.
NPC's (but i'm playing them I guess... so they are PC's but to you they are NPC's, don't overthink it.Name of Vessel: Mr. John Luggi

I will continue to use this OC until she's in an RP that gains some amount of traction.

Accepted, I really hope this gains traction

You can start if you want.

"It's been several years since I finally left my parents' place. Several years since I broke away from them. Most importantly, several years since I started hunting down those that have no place on this planet. This is my way of life now. At least for the time being. I doubt I'll ever settle down and enjoy some time to myself.

I currently reside in a mostly abandoned apartment complex, located in the middle of a city with a reasonably big population. It still receives power and water, at no cost to me thankfully. I have a fair amount of possessions, although mostly the things I need to survive. I try to keep noise to a minimum, but I'm sure nobody can hear me.

My current goal is to assassinate Jack Carter, a corrupt politician and the future president, more importantly, a criminal, a communist and a liar. It's unlikely I'll be alone, I've become the target of possibly hundreds of others, for whatever reason. Maybe it's my assassin job. Effectively nobody is my ally, but I don't need allies.

I'm unsure as to why I even continue to make these recordings like I'm writing in a diary. Maybe I'm losing sanity. Maybe I'm hoping someone finds them. I'm probably just bored. Yeah, I'll go with that."

She puts the phone down and rolls back over into bed, it's currently 11pm.

Accepted!

On the news, Carter stands at a podium expounding points about the economy and how much he respects billionaires, disruptors, and entrepreneurs for ehat they've done for the country, and he would surely appreciate their votes and backing in the coming election.

Other sources say he's been seen in talks with union leaders and worker-cooperative businesses.

On the opposing side of Jack Carter's re-election, is Mr. John Luggi. He is an honest man loved by all, but he is behind in the polls because of Carter's influence on the rich and powerful. So, he has sent a team of four agents to retrieve the Mysterious Object from the Valley of Endings, 1 has died already

Electra has decided to crash this election, quite literally, by hiding backstage and waiting for the right moment during Jack Carter's speech to cut the power. Once that happens, she'll have distracted everyone and cut off visibility. Jack should be an easy target. However, there seems to be something stopping her from accomplishing that.

Agent 1: The tunnel is 6km ahead, moving in Mr. Luggi
Luggi: Okay, don't come back without it

Electra will never be able to kill Jack Carter without first eliminating his Security Chief. She represents the mini-boss that has to be killed before the final villain can be slain.

Jack Carter is briefly interrupted by the Security Chief during his speech.

"Well I'm sorry folks, but I've just been informed that I've only got time for just one more question before we take a short break. Yes, you..."

As Jack Carter wraps up his interview, the Security Chief starts directing bodyguards to patch the security flaw that she discovered. People in sharp bullet-resistant suits begin to sweep the backstage and surrounding area to make sure the power system isn't going to be tampered with.

Ok it seems like you just metagamed that so I wouldn't be able to cut the power that easily.

Electra slashes crucial power cables and sends everyone into complete darkness, before quickly disappearing nowhere to be seen. Citizens who were crowded in the facility are now unable to see anything, and without power the doors cannot operate, so it seems they're locked in for a short while.

She hears footsteps and tries to find a suitable spot that will give her an advantage in whatever possible fight may occur.

Mr. Luggi watches the chaos from his balcony

"What's going on?"
"The power's out!"

The Security Chief rushes Jack Carter off stage with the beam of a flashlight and encounters the locked doors. She tries to break it down for a few seconds before giving up and switching tactics, looking for a defensible area to protect Jack Carter in while the power is fixed.

Backstage, bodyguards flounder blindly in the dark for a few moments, flicking on flashlights to achieve a limited amount of vision. In the moment, a suitable advantageous spot is anywhere they aren't shining their flashlights.
