    Dear Desert Warrior, Murf, and OathkeeperXIII

    Here is the info for our RP that Murf and I have been working on (with some credit also to OathkeeperXIII).


    The Assassins:
    Nothing is True. Everything is permitted.

    The Assassin Order or Assassin Brotherhood is/was an organized order of assassins and sworn enemies of the Templars(seen below), against whom they fought a continuous, secret war, throughout the entirety of recorded history.

    Whereas the Templars strove for the power to save humanity from itself by controlling free will, the Assassin Order fought to ensure the survival of free will, as it allowed for the progression of new ideas and the growth of individuality.

    The Assassins, if not the order itself, had existed since at least 456 B.C.E., throughout the Roman era, the Middle Ages, the Italian Renaissance, Colonial America, and into the 21st century, where the battle is still being fought though the methods change.

    The Templars (Known as Abstergo in the 21st century):
    May the Father of Understanding Guide Us.


    The Templar Order is also known as the Order of the Knights Templar, it also takes on the face of a company called Abstergo in the 21st century. They had a lot of power before in history and seek to create a perfect world, though their methods are questionable seeing as it's their plan to control the world and eliminate free will.

    The Animus:

    There are many of these objects in exsistance though most of them are under Templar Control, being created by a Templar undercover company called Abstergo.
    As you know, genes are passed down through generations through our DNA but did you know that memories were too? In our DNA and our subconcious are hundreds of years worth of memories of our ansestors and those who came before. This is how the Animus is useful. The Animus can find and record these memories by giving us the chance to relive the memories of our ansestors first hand. Most actions in the animus can be stored.

    Pieces of Eden:
    They are technologically advanced objects that supposedly came from the first civillization to ever live on the earth. For those of you who have played the Assassins Creed Games, you'll know that the two known pieces of Eden so far are the Apple and the Staff. These strange rare objects have many amazing powers though none as coveted as their power to bend the will of men to their holder.

    Plot #1: (In the Animus)

    Sometime in the past. To be honest I'm still working on this plot so I need some discussion going on a date and location for this. But the plot will be this. Two of us will be playing as Assassins. The other two will be playing as important figures in the Templar order. The fight between the Assassins and the Templars are curently at a peak in a major undercover battle. The Templar Order somehow managed to get a hold of a piece of Eden, the Staff. Though the Assassins have managed to keep the Apple safe by locking it away benieth their own headquarters.
    The Templar order, though, has managed to discover the existance of a third piece of eden though it's identity, and location remain a mystery. There is more than one mention of this object in the writings throughout history and is mostly called the heart of eden. Supposedly, this object is a concious holder of the memories of the first civilization. With this object and the other two a person can find Eden, the lost home of the first civilization, and unlock the mysteries and powers left within.

    The Templars began their search for more information on this 'Heart of Eden' imediately though they kept their search a secret for many years though eventually the information of this object was discovered by a young assassin who was assigned to kill a traitor of the Assassins working for the Templars. The young assassin managed to get breath of this object as he was questioning the traitor though the assassin was then discovered and captured by the Templar order. Though not before the traitor was disposed of for his failure to keep the Heart a secret. We begin this plot with this Assassin's captivity. The assassin is sentanced by the Templar order to death if they do not agree to join the Templar order and betray the Assassins to them.

    This assassin, married to the leader of the assassin order, is very important to the Assassins and will begin with their rescue mission in the Templar headquarters. From there, the search for the Heart of Eden begins. Though information on the Heart after this was wiped from history and hidden away somewhere. Which is where Plot 2 Comes in:

    Plot 2: (The 21'st Century)

    The secret war between the Assassins and the Templars continues though the Assassins are losing. They have few men or recorces and the Templars are slowly finding and destroying each of their guilds one by one.

    The Assassins are currently in posession of one Animus though there are a few assassins that volunteer to search the memories of their ansestors dispite the risks. 4 to be exact. One day while searching the memories of one of his ancestors, an Assassin stumbled apon data that surprised them. This assassin's liniege was not born within the order like most. But what was most interesting was that they discovered that the Assassins ancestors were born and once very important to the Templar order though memory of their change of allegence or the reason for it could not be accessed. Before the Animus rejected this assassin, he did manage to hear some whisper of an object called the Heart of Eden along with some importance of the object. He also managed to learn of the knowledge that 2 Templars once betrayed their order for the Assassins though the reasons for this are unknown.

    While fighting the war against the Templars, the Assassins have found that there are 3 other assassins in their midst that also have ansestors that had direct contact with the Heart of Eden and were supposedly the last 4 people in existance to know the fate of the Heart... until now. With great difficulty, and though it took a great deal of time, the Assassins managed to get the recorces they needed to build 3 new animus and then our quest begins. These 4 assassins now must enter the animus and live the lives of their ancestors up until the final memories of the Heart of Eden can be recorded.

    Menwhile there has been rumors of a traitor in the assassins midst informing on the Assassins to Abstergo. Our side mission on this plot is to discover the traitor and silence them along with finding out secrets of the Templar order.
    Also, the bleeding effect of these particular ansestors will be much stronger than on most. These assassins will slowly begin to lose their minds. Wether or not they stop using the Animus, they will eventually lose themselves entirely. Finding the Heart of Eden is their only chance of saving themselves from the distruction of their own minds. This is what will be happening between Animus sessions.


    Characters in Plot 2:
    Assassin 1-
    Assassin 2- Hope
    Assassin 3 (Has Templar Ancestor)-
    Assassin 4 (Also has Templar Ancestor)-

    Characters in Plot 1: (The Animus Plot)

    Templar 2 (same as above)-

    Each of us is has two characters. One from the 21'st century and one who is their ancestor in the animus.

    It is late for me right now, so (Since I have the opportunity) I think I'll call dibs on Assassin 1 on plot 1 (Unless we're not allowed dibs. If not then I'll take the spot if nobody posts a profile by the time I next log on) and Assassin 4 on plot 2.

    As for coming up with a time spot for plot 1, you make it difficult by saying nobody in the current time knows about the Heart of Eden >_< So my vote will be for the 14th or 15th century (Whichever one involves the discovery of the New World).

    The first game points out that there is more than two :p

    Yes but the only ones we really ever see are the specificic apple and staff that everyone are fighting over(apple particularly) xD This is where my thinkig for a third piece of eden gets found comes from.

    Title: Assassin 3, Plot 2
    Name: Hannah Masen
    Age: 25
    Personality: Strong, Cold, Calculating, Observant. A born killer.
    Appearence: [​IMG]
    Abilities: Martial Arts, Technical Know-How, Driving abilities, and a natural born killer. Though she does not posess Eagle Vision like most assassins, she is a good judge of character.
    Weapon(s): Sword, Gun, Hidden Blade, Poisen.
    Bio: Hannah was born into the Assassin Order and trained since birth to be a killer though she does lack a few of the other assassins natural abilities she makes up for it with wisdom and skill. She has been a part of the war against the templars and abstergo her whole life. Hannah is one of the assassins in charge of learning of the Heart of Eden through the animus. She was the first assassin to learn of the Heart in the 21st century when she stumbled across corrupt data in the Animus. From this, she also learned that her family line was not always a part of the Assassins, but it was part of the Templars. This gives her years worth of memories of important Templar information, including the finding of the Heart of Eden. For whatever reason her ancestor, along with one other who is the ancestor of a different assassin and friend of hers, betrayed the Templar order for the Assassins and Hannah now has a job to find out why. Her current missions are to search the Animus for any information she can with the help of 3 other assassins (one of which also has a templar ancestor), Find out who is betraying the Assassins, and not go insane from the bleeding effect. It is strange for Hannah to be enemies of her allies in the Animus and then switch back to her allies quickly.

    DW you can't be Assassin one on plot one and Assassin four on plot two. You can either be the leader of the Assassins of Assassin decent and married to Hope or you could be the Assassin of Templar descent. I'll let you decide first and the I'll make a template.

    That dawned upon me earlier. But then I thought that it would be a more interesting way of story telling to have different people controlling the ancestor and the descendant. If we can't do that, then I guess I'll stick with spot 4 in each of the plots.

    It would be interesting, there are two problems i see with it though. Firstly, when the Assassins are in the animus the people who control outside of it will be out of the rp until they return and vice versa. And secondly there aren't enough decent rp'ers around here to do it.

    I'll try post a template tomorrow, but right now im going to bed.

    Well, it's a start. Oh, and we should probably create a character to do all the system stuff for the Animus while people are in it.

    And does anybody else have a suggestion for a place in history for plot 1?

    I've just been thinking about possible times and places for plot 1. Ancient Egypt, WWII in America or Germany, the great depression, or revolutionary war only in England instead of the US... I'm trying to stick around historical events that we can throw our characters into and make it interesting but most of the ones I can think of now are in American history... Guess I didnt pay much attention in class. XD

    My first thoughts for the time were those periods, but because you said the Heart of Eden is pretty much completely forgotten about I figured the time period would have to be further back. Definitely something older than the past century.

    I considered that too just before talking to kairu on msn today. Now I'm kind of consudering Egypt more seriously. It would be dated around 1290 BC (this being a rough guess, I don't have time to look it up) at the beginning of the 19th dYnasty. Seti I would have just passed away leaving his son Ramesses II as pharo of Egypt. It is also years after Moses was banished from Egypt for crimes unknown. Also Egypt still has control of the Hebrew population and have them enslaved though The Hebrews have a lot of gossip about a deliverer that is said will one day soon free them and lead them to the 'promised land' Obviously, this means our Templar order would be made up of prominent figures in Egyptian government at the time including many of the guard and Pharos priests. Possibly Ramesses himself. the assassins I'm adding in xD
    I'm still working on where to fit them in though.

    The Templars:
    It's leaders are made up of the overseer of the Hebrew Slaves and architect of the new dynasty, The head of the guard, Two of the Pharos most trusted advisors (one of them being the Pharos own son), And the high preist of the gods of Egypt. Among other important figures (this gives you guys who are playing the Templars some ideas unless you have one of your own). The templars they command are most of the men they are in charge of as directed by the Pharo Ramasees.
    Years prior to the beginning of this RP the Templar order was begun by the young overseer of the Hebrew Slaves. The slaves, in their work building a great likness of Seti (the pharo of the time) found a strange object in the sand. It was a box that no one was able to open for it had no latch, no hinges, and no opening. Just a gold hollow cube with strange markings on it's surface. The box's exsistance was hidden from the pharo and the slaves who found the box were executed for fabricated charges. For years the overseer studied the box trying to figure out what secrets it contained. Finally, he disiphered a message on the box and managed to open it. Inside he found something even more amazing and puzzling: The Apple of Eden.
    Over the years with posession of the Apple the man learned many things. Things that he knew others couldn't even begin to comprehend. He saw the blueprints for structures called Pyramids along with many other great monuments that were then implimented into the new dynasty of Egypt. During the years he studied the Apple he learned some real facts about the world past, present, and future, that were far more important than Egypt. Others joined his cause. He and the other Templars are now using Egypt undercover from the slaves to the Pharo himself. They are looking for something as well as building something. Most of the Templars pawns are being controlled by the apple so the secret of the apple is kept and the templars have complete control. The goal is slow moving. Whatever it is they are planning, they need all of Egypt under their control but the process is slow because the power of the apple works through the holder. For this reason, they are taking over little by little starting with the royal family of Egypt and the down the social ladder from there although two thirds of the Hebrew Slaves are already under the Apples influence. The pharo was finally informed of the artifact though by then it was put under the care of the High Preist and presented to the Pharo as a gift from the gods that only he and his preists can undetstand (though we know that isn't true).

    The Assassins:
    The Assassin Order in this game is made up mostly Hebrews though some of them are also Egyptian. At this point, the Assassin order is fairly new and therefore not many people are born into it. The order was started (I'm making this up as I go, the game probably has a different origin but I'm unaware of it.) within a few of the hebrew slaves in Egypt originally as undercover work against Egypt's tyrrany against their people. It was underhanded killing of those responsibile for their enslavement along with the plans to originally free themselves but what they descovered was something much more important and disturbing. The order then also learned of the Templars who were made up of some very important members of Egyptian order who were manipulating the pharo to their bidding, building something far worse than just a great dynasty at the expense of the Hebrew population.


    Figured it out. Be proud of me.

    Pending Character. Profile still in Progress.

    Title:
    Assassin 2 Plot 1

    Name:
    Amunet

    Age:
    23

    Personality:
    Amunet was a powerful, manipulative, seductive, persuasive, smart and beautiful woman. She is also charismatic, Loyal, and good at making allies. Though at the time she was also still young and therefore wreckless, immature, stubborn, and opinionated. Due to her past, she is also very slow to trust. To face it all, she has a very sweet and charming personality that makes her deadly personality traits hard to guess by strangers.

    Appearence:
    [​IMG]

    Abilities:
    Amunet is strong, stealthy, and deadly with any weapon, with a little practice. She has many hidden skills as well which I'll explain under her Weapons and Bio. She can take anything and make it a strength and is good at improvising. She's a rather impressive lier and actor to most people, with one obvious exception being her husband.

    Weapon(s):
    Sword, Throwing Knives, Bow and Arrows, Daggers which she has hidden in lots of random places throughout the city, and of course the infamous Hidden Blade.
    She herself is a weapon. Having subconciously retained some information from her influence with the apple of eden which she does not remember, she managed to make herself poisonous. A kiss from her can prove fatal. Cutting yourself with a blade she's been cut with is worse.

    Bio:
    Amunet's parents were both Hebrew Slaves that were under the influence of the Apple of Eden. She spent a lot of her early years watching her parents odd behavior and also being controlled by the apple herself sometimes (being used to carry food and water to the workers at the site without remembering where it was) as well though she wasn't aware of it. Because of that, there are months and even a year at a time that she doesn't remember from her childhood. Finally when she turned 10 years old she knew that something was wrong, her parents were lifeless most of the time and suspicious and abusive the rest of the time and their egyptian overseers were worse. She ran away from home a year after this realization but she didn't get very far before she was recaptured and brought back to Egypt and brought before the Templar leaders who were suspicous that she had run away from home because she knew something she shouldnt. They tried to force her to submission with the apple, make her a worker like her parents, but she had been under it's influence long enough before that she was partially numb to its effects and managed to keep her wits about her. So the Templar leaders then decided to dispose of her so they erased all of her memories for the past 3 years and then made up a story about how they had found her in the Pharo's chambers stealing. She was to be put to publicly exicuted. She managed to escape barely and lived until she was 16 in the streets hiding from the law, not remembering how she got there. At that age, she was found by a lady named Amah who was the head of the concubines in the palace. By then, Amunet begun to show signs of great beauty and potential so she was taken into the Palace where she was trained as a servant girl and concubine in the palace. It was still its own form of servitude and therefore familiar to the young girl but it was also in the palace itself so she had to learn poise, grace, and the ways of high class egyptians. Though she also learned a few other secrets in her profession including marketing, and self defense (though she was already good enough at it from having to fight to survive so long in the wild or on the streets). Because of the Templar's high influence that was already beginning to grow in Egypt, The Pharo was becoming increasingly suspicious and began to use the servants and concubines to spy on, steal from, and sometimes assassinate random people in his court. Amunet became one of his most useful spies, though she never met him, because of her success as a seductress, killer, and spy. Becoming tired of being used for her body, apearence, and deadly skill, Amunet decided to get her revenge and once again *though she didn't remember the first time) attempt to escape from Egypt where she knew something evil was taking place. Her plan was slow, but she worked on it tirelessly. She memorized the movements and actions of her captors and fellow servants. She also collected scorpions from the desert that would wander into the castle beyond the attention of those who were supposed to keep such pests out. She would kill the scorpions and, little by little inject herself with the poison. Her first couple attempts nearly took her life but over time her immunity grew stronger and beyond immunity, the poison became a part of her. During this time, she also began to gain great favor with the Egyptian royals, having killed many people that she was ordered to and passed a lot of important information to her captors and "bosses". She was even present when Prince Moses (adopted nephew of the Pharo Seti and foster brother of his son Ramesees) was accused of treason and banished from Egypt.
    By the time she was 21 she was numbered with the Pharos personal servants and concubines and the Pharo ordered an audience with her. Though these things were kept very discreet and hidden, Amunet knew what the Pharo's intentions were. She had caught his interest as she had planned to eventually. She blamed the Pharo for her peoples (and therefore her own) enslavement along with much of the trouble she had faced in her life (having forgotten about her encounter with the templars years before). Her audience with the old Pharo was short. All it took was one kiss. Much less than she had expected, and the Pharo suddenly was stricken with fevers and illness. He died three short days later. In the chaos that inevitably took hold of Egypt after that, Amunet tried to use it to her advantage to escape but was overtaken by guards only a day's right out of Egypt. She fought and killed at least three of her attackers before they managed to subdue her. They disarmed her and tied her but the day was reaching an end and the desert was a dangerous place to travel at night, Besides she was injured and needed rest before traveling or she would die before she would reach trial, so they decided to make camp and return to Egypt in the morning.
    Amunet was left alone in a tent at the center of camp tied to a pole with two guards stationed outside her tent. Her fate for killing the Pharo of Egypt awated her and she knew it but was tied, drugged, and wounded. Any attempt to escape that night, she knew wouldn't get her far but she knew she had to at least try. She managed to get as far as the edge of camp, having killed one of her two guards in charge of her similarly to the way she killed the Pharo, and the other she killed with the bandages from her wounds, before she passed out from the amount of blood she had lost.
    When she woke it was morning. She was still laying in the sand though the dizziness from the drugs had worn off, the pain from her wounds had dulled some, and she found that someone had replaced her bandages. She was in a tent again but not the same one as before. It's making was foreign to her, not Egyptian for sure.
    Her first instinct was to try to escape somehow. She wasn't restrained in any way so she knew that she must be more heavily guarded outside. She could tell that some time had passed by the fact that some of her wounds had begun to heal and her clothes were clean. Though she knew it wasn't much time, she also knew that someone must be attending to her for some reason. She then searched and found five items in the tent that she could use as a weapon if she needed: The sand, her bandages, a lose wooden pole from the tent above her head to her left side, the remaints of Scorpion venim in her system, and a metal bowl laying on the ground in the opposite corner of the tent. She assumed it had once carried water and someone had carelessly left it, under estimating her because she was a woman and unconcious. After having crafted a plan, she closed her eyes and waited for her moment to strike.
    It wasn't long before she heard the soft padding sound of footsteps against the sand getting louder as they neared the entrance to her tent. Soon, they were near enough to hear voices as well. She couldn't quite make out what they were saying... she wasn't familiar with the language they were speaking. It was a much rougher sound than the Egyptian language she was raised speaking. Though she couldn't make out words, she could get at least a little information of her enemies through their speach. One of them spoke as though he were giving out orders. It was the voice of a charismatic man. He spoke with athority which gave her the hint that he was a leader of at least some part of this camp if not THE leader himself. She also guessed that he was a powerful sort of person, most likely bigger than her which would put her at a disadvantage. Their voices were now just outside the door of the tent. The other person answered with short words and then at the end of their conversation she heard one set of footsteps swiftly move away. Off to finish whatever errands his master had given him. For a long moment, she heard nothing. At first she thought that she was once again alone and relaxed a little. Then, she heard the soft sound of moving fabric as the door to the tent was pushed aside and the set of footprints aproached her.
    Though she didn't move at all, Amunet prepared herself as she felt a hand touch one of her injuries. It was a more serious one on her upper arm. She cursed herself silently for forgetting to take her injuries into account in the struggle she would soon be in. She had a deep gash on her upper right arm as well as a deep stab wound in her lower back. It would make her attacks slower than normal and her movements clumsy if she was not careful. She waited only long enough for whoever the stranger was to put a fresh bandage on her arm before she opened her eyes slowly, acting as though she had only barely regained conciousness. She appeared dazed and confused and looked her captor square in the eyes though her real intent was to take in his strengths at a glance. As she predicted, he was taller and also appeared to be stronger than her, he was also armed though he didn't seem inclined to reach for the weapon. That was all she took in. She allowed a small smile to creep onto her expression before she sprang into action. She grabbed the old bandage that he had previously removed from her arm and rolled to her left in one fluid motion, throwing sand in his eyes as well to catch him off guard. She had no time for questions. She knew she was either still among the Egyptians or that she had been captured by theives or slave traders. None of those options seemed promising for a long future if she stayed too long. She took a hold of both ends of the bandage, wrapped it around the loose wooden pole in the tent, and stuck her hand through the loop at the other end of the bandage. She tried to pull it off but it was stronger than she had originally estimated. Just then, the stranger had grabbed hold of her from behind. Attempting to restrict her movement. This gave Amunet an Idea. With all her might, she threw herself backwards into the stranger while still holding tightly to the tent rod she wanted to pull lose. Her action took her attacker off guard and sent them both falling backward. Their weight together pulled her weapon free, but it did cause the tent to sag slightly on that side and she knew that wouldn't go unnoticed outside for long. She had to end this struggle quickly. As they landed, the man seemed to have gotten his wits back from her surprise move and had wrapped his arms completely around her, binding her arms to her sides but as they fell the rod, which was just longer than her body and jagged at both ends from breaking, fell toward them and she bent her arms with what little movement she was allowed to catch it just as they both landed. His hold on her was tight and it was obvious she wasn't going to be able to break free of him with strength alone. She tried kicking him a few times but when that didn't work she took the end of the rod and jammed it into his hands as hard as she could with her limited motion. She knew she had drawn blood imediately because it flowed imediately and his grip loosened as she heard him make a startled sound. While he was distracted she was on her feet again and picked up the bowl she had seen earlier. Her plan was to use its sharp edge as a form of knife but the stranger was fast and took it from her before she could. He was saying something to her then, in that same weird language he was speaking before. If she didn't know better she would assume he was trying to calm her with his tone of voice but she wasn't going to buy it. As he took a step toward her she saw him reaching for his weapon. She feinted right but then made a moveto her left where the center pole of the tent was. He was faster and stronger than her so her only chance was to outsmart him. She kicked at the center pole of the tent and it fell... but she was surprised to see that the tent remained upright. Cursing under her breath, she wheeled around to face her aponent again, diving away from an attack from him she jabbed the tent pole at him but he took that from her too.
    "So thats what language you speak." she heard him mutter, now speaking her language. She guessed he had heard her curse and learned from that. Observant... obviously outsmarting him wont work either... She thought to herself just as he tackled her and pinned her hands to the ground. "Look would you settle down! You're safe here." he was saying as she continued to struggle. She ignored his lies. Her plan had failed and all of her weapons were taken from her, except one. Desprate and having only one chance left, she proped herself up on her elbows taking advantage of the only weapon he didn't know she had and couldn't take from her. She knew she caught him off guard as their lips met because he hesitated before making a move. Then she felt him let go of one of her hands, and then she felt a harsh pinch on the space between her neck and left shoulder. A pressure point. She didn't remember anything after that.
    Next thing she remembered, she woke up in a different tent and this time she was restrained and not alone. The man she had fought earlier was there along with a few other people who she didn't recognise but were dressed similar as him though not completely the same. The men with him were all dressed in white and red, their white hoods over their heads shrouding their faces. She noticed that the man had bandaged his hands. She must have gotten him worse than she had originally hoped for with the rod. This, she was proud of. Either it would help her if a struggle insued now, or she could count that as at least a small victory. The stranger was talking to the two men, once again in a language she didn't really understand. Both of the men saluted and then left and the two were alone again. It took a sizable amount of time to convince her that she was among friends, the restraints were a precaution so that she wouldn't hurt herself like last time, and that he and a few of his men had saved her from the Egyptian guards two days ago. Though she eventually did agree to stop trying to escape at least until her wounds had healed in exchange for answers to her questions.
    She considered her first question before speaking "You're not Egyptian." it wasn't a question nessisarily.
    The man only shrugged "Neither are you." he pointed out "And your mother kept you anyway." there was a trace of amusement at his smart alek statement that Amunet didn't aprove of.
    "So what are you?" she retorted.
    "Hebrew, same as you."
    At that comment Amunet looked alarmed "So we are-"
    "-No. We are not in Egypt either with the army or with the slaves." he assured her. "I told you, you dont have to go back there unless you want to or if you are a Templar. You aren't a Templar are you?" the oblivious look on her face seemed to answer his question.
    Amunet looked confused "Ok... so you must be run aways?"
    He smiled "Nope. Well I'm not at least. There are a few of them in our ranks if they get lucky enough to make it this far without being caught."
    "Your ranks? And what ranks are those?"
    "The Assassins of course. I probably should have said that in the first place so that we could have avoided this little fiasco." he indicated his injured hand that she had stabbed earlier. "See, even if you had managed to kill me back there, or if one of the six plans you've calculated since you woke up to kill me here had succeeded, you are in a camp full of trained, deadly, loyal assassins who would probably kill you for revenge before you managed to get outside."
    Amunet sighed "Seven." she corrected him a bit sheepishly. But she understood his point and stopped thinking of ways.
    After that their conversation was long as he told her his name, and of the history of the assassins and their goals. From him she had learned that her plan to kill the Pharo had worked but that he wasn't the real enemy. This disheartened Amunet, to know that she had thought she had done so much but that she had the wrong targets in mind and that it all amounted to nothing. In killing the Pharo she thought she was killing the one responsible for her enslavement and the weird things happening in Egypt but she learned that all she did was kill a suspicious old man who was only a pawn to the real enemies. She learned that pharos son Ramesses had taken power and that he was more ruthless than his father with both his people and the slaves though wether or not he was a Templar was not yet known.
    All their talk about Assassins, Templars, Pieces of Eden, and everything else that was happening was a lot for Amunet to learn. At the end of their conversation she felt tired and had more questions than when they started talking though whats his face (Kairu hasn't named him yet xD) had stopped giving answers. He stood "It's getting late." he stated "You should get your rest we'll talk more tomorrow." He turned to leave.
    "Wait." she said to him and he stopped
    "Yes?"
    "Why?" he seemed to understand she meant 'why save me' because he answered as if she had. "Because Assuming that you really did kill those five soldiers in the desert, god knows how many in Egypt, and the Pharo himself, you could prove useful and therefore worth saving."
    "And if I'm not?"
    "Then I just rescued a damsel. And theres nothing wrong with that." he said, once again Amunet traced humor in his tone though it was getting too dark to make out his expression. He turned to leave again.
    "Are you going to untie me?" she reminded him. He answered by raising his injured hand as he walked away to remind her that he didn't trust her yet "And risk you running around killing my men and making a mess? I can't do that, Amunet. You're too crazy." after he said that, he was gone and Amunet was left alone.
    That night Amunet thought a lot about what she had learned. It all made sense, the strange behavior of her people including her parents as she grew up, the strange gap in her memory, the suspicious and trecherous ways of the pharo and people in his court and all of the killings. She had a lot of guilt on her concience for all of the potentially innocent people she had killed including Seti II especially considering that his son took power after that and was possibly a Templar himself. She resolved then that the only way she was going to clear the blood from her concience was to try to help stop the real enemy.
    When she informed Whats his name of her plans the following day, he seemed to be expecting her to say it. She learned and trained with the Assassins for a year after that before truly joining them. For the next year of her life she spent training and getting better every day. She got more and more valuable to the assassin order as well as to whats his face, who did happen to be the leader of the Assassins. She eventually did tell him why she kissed him the day they met, hoping to learn why it didn't successfully kill him but the answer to that question remains a mystery to both of them even though he has been the only man in that situation before or since then who didn't die. Even still, the poisen in her system never did ware off as she had expected. She isn't sure how it worked or why it never wore off but even as she began to get closer with whats his face (it'd be great if you named him eventually Ky :p) she was wary to ever try again for fear that it did that time. Obviously her resolve didn't last forever because the two were married by the time she was at age 21. She is now second in command of the Assassin Order. She's been having weird visions and dreams lately, some related to the Apple of Eden but whats more, some second artifact and it's not the Staff which the Assassins have in their posession. It's something... else.
    For fear that her insanity from before was returning, she told no one of what she has been seeing thinking that she was imagining things. Though when she caught a traitor in the midst of the Assassins and persued him. She cornered the traitor in a worn down building in the slums of Egypt where she questioned him and learned that the object she's been seeing in her dreams is called the "heart of eden' and is real but not yet located. That was all the information she could get before an arrow flew from the shadows barely missing her but killing the traitor. Directly following the arrow were many Templar soldiers. Amunet is now a prisoner of a war that no one knows is happening with knowledge that could change the balance. The Templars have given her a choice to either swear loyalty to their cause or die.

    Other Info: I'm sure I'll add something here eventually.

    Theme: To be added sometime.
