Here's how the game works. There are 3 different teams, Police, Gangsters, and Mercenaries. They all fight each other. Last team standing wins. Elimination occurs when you die, or don't respond for a week. Let me know in advance if you're going somewhere and I can wait. Here's the team descriptions. Police: Police are experience-based. They level up faster and start with more points than the other teams. Police are enemies with Gangsters. They can hire Mercenaries to be on their side temporarily or they can fight Mercenaries who side with the Gangsters. Police work together and never fight each other. They start with a Pistol, Rifle, Body Armor, Squad Car, and Radio. Police can't kill Gangsters or Mercenaries the first time, they have to put them in jail, unless they've already been in jail or killed a Policeman. And Police can only sometimes take items they get from people they kill. Gangsters:Gangsters are reputation-based. They start with a high reputation and people fear them automatically. Gangsters depend more on bluff than doing. Gangsters are enemies with Police. They can hire Mercenaries to be on their side temporarily or they can fight Mercenaries who side with the Police. Gangsters can work together or alone. They can kill other Gangsters. They start with a Rifle and Molotov Cocktail. Mercenaries: Mercenaries are money-based. They can do jobs for people and get paid unlike the other teams, and they start with the Silvertongue perk. Mercenaries can side with either team, getting paid for fighting with them. However, teams can choose not to pay Mercenaries, in which case the Mercenary becomes that team's enemy until they get their money. Mercenaries start with Rifle, Jeep, and Radio.
Attributes: You get 9 points to add to your Attributes unless you're a Policeman, then you get 11. Strength: Physical strength and endurance, adds to damage and health. Agility: Speed and balance. Adds to dodge ability and the ability to escape. Intelligence: Intelligence is how smart you are. Gives you more choices and also makes you rank up faster. Charisma: Charisma is your persuasiveness. Items cost less and you bluff better.
Perks. You get 3 Perk points, so choose well: Silvertongue: Adds to Charisma and allows you to detect lies, and lie better. Weapon Efficiency: Allows you to handle all weapons better, increasing accuracy and damage when wielding a weapon. Armor Efficiency: Allows you to handle all armors better, increasing chance not to be hit and lowers damage if you are hit when wearing armor. Vehicle Efficiency: Allows you to handle all vehicles better, lowering crash chances and lessening malfunction chances. Giant Strength: Adds to strength and allows you to try and bend bars, lift gates, and break down doors without equipment. Slippery Fingers: Allows you to pick locks, pickpocket, and burglarize(not for Police) Guardian: When defending allies, you gain a huge bonus on damage, defense, and speed(only available to Police). Stealth: Gives you a better chance to sneak behind an enemy or remain unseen.

B. Go up to them and pretend that you area prospective client. Get them to "show" you their weapons and try to take them. ( I have silvertongue so i'm hoping this works)
You walk up to them and say you know who they are and want them to do a job for you. You offer them 500 dollars each. Callo looks at you suspiciously. "Aren't you that guy on TV?" he asks. "Yeah! You're wanted!" says Reeves. You gulp and hope fervently that your lying ability(Silvertongue) holds up. "No I'm not...but the police didn't have any actual footage of him so they hired me to play him in the video and in the pictures(really you are that guy...)cuz I look a lot like him. You know you're like the tenth person today who has said that?" you lie. Reeves and Callo seem like they believe you. "But what kind of job?" "I've got a...problem. I want you to get rid of it," you say. "Well, you came to the right people," Callo says "Good. Now, show me your weapons. I want to make sure you are good for the job," you say, trying to keep a nervous edge out of your voice. "I don't think so," Callo growls. "Why not, Callo?" asks Reeves. "Because I know a lie when I hear one(tough luck. Callo has Silvertongue too). Now what gangster sent you after us? Huh?" He quietly draws his gun and puts it to your head.
A. Tell him the truth!!!! He has Silvertongue, he can detect lies!! I'd like to keep my brains inside my skull, thank you very much!" B. Try to quietly draw your gun and shoot him then escape C. Lie...
C. Lie (Even if he has silvertongue as well I'm sure I'm a higher rank and more experienced.)
You prepare yourself to lie, but you realize that Callo and Reeves are Gangsters themselves, according to your client. You have Silvertongue, so Callo wasn't trying to trick you when he said Gangsters, because you would detect the lie. You dismiss the thought. "Gangsters didn't send me after you. The Police did." you lie. Reeves and Callo both start laughing, and your heart sinks. "There is no way the Police sent you after us," said Reeves "Why not?" you ask, trying to be defiant, but you know you're caught. "Because we're Undercover Policemen, idiot," growls Callo. And he's not lying
A. OH MY GOSH MY CLIENT SET ME UP! I'll tell him the truth now. B. Continue lying C. Try to escape
A.OH MY GOSH MY CLIENT SET ME UP! I'll tell him the truth now.
You tell them the truth and Callo replaces the gun in his holster. He smiles slightly at you. "The guy you're describing is William Steinfeld Jr. A major drug trafficker,and conman. He's probably responsible for half the murders in the city, besides. We've been trying to nail him for almost a month. He must've finally found a way to try and kill us but don't beat yourself up. Lots of people have been tricked by him. But now that we're on the same page, do you want to work together?" he asks "I'm sure that the Police would forgive you for that...incident at the Police Station if you did."
A. Sure. HE LIED TO ME(yeah he did because his Silvertongue and Charisma is like 10 times better than yours, no offense, but he's a very high lvl)And besides, this "Wanted" thing needs to end now. B. No. I'll just let the sleeping dog lie. Besides, he seems too dangerous.

Reese and Callo lead you to Steinfeld's house, where Reese draws out very hi-spec Binoculars. He looks through them, and can apparently see inside. It's getting very dark now. "Target is asleep in bedroom, which is located on the upper left corner. Do not enter," he says quietly. "Okay," says Callo. He hands you a device that looks suspiciously like a bomb, full of wires and other stuff. "Here's your job. Go in there, plant the bomb directly outside the target's bedroom, and pull the red wire. Then, hightail it out of there before it goes off," he says. "There are 3 entrances. The one nearest the bedroom is the Back Sliding Glass Door, the one farthest is the Front Door, and the one in the middle is the Garage Door. The farther you have to go, the more likely he'll hear you walking(he has a perk called Super Ears, which will become available on your next Perk Choose), but the closer the door, the more likely he'll hear it open. Which do you want to go in through?"
A. The Front Door B. The Sliding Glass Door C. The Garage Door
Well everyone is entitled to their opinion. Really? A lot of people like it? Wow this is my first non-flop RPG and a LOT of people like it? Yippeee!!!!!
Sorry it took so long I'm rushing from the kitchen to the computer here.
You slide open the Sliding Glass Door, and then have the smarts to freeze. (note: if you didn't have Stealth, you would've been heard right there)You wait 5 seconds, then tiptoe across the hallway and next to Steinfeld's room. You stick the bomb onto the wall and pull out the red wire, then you run as quickly and quietly as possible(again, would've been heard without Stealth, and wouldn't have run fast enough without 3 Agility). You manage to escape the house before the bomb detonates. Callo and Reeves grin at you.
"Mission accomplished," said Callo, offering you his fist, which you knuckletouch "You've been very helpful. The Police won't chase you anymore. And I think you've earned this," said Reeves, handing you the binoculars.
A. Try to get another job from them B. Leave and go try to find another job from Gangsters C. Leave and go try to find another job off the street
