Beloved, you give too much thought to what is real and what is not, to what is true and what is false. I realize that is your way, but just this once, accept things as they are. Forego your control, your discipline. Just once, let yourself go... and take me with you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the game; you are Talia Al Ghul
REAL NAME:: Talia Al Ghul
ALIGNMENT: Third Party
GENERIC: Special
WIN CONDITION: You win the game whether you are alive or not if your father, Ra's Al Ghul, is still alive when the game ends for any reason. He himself may or may not win in such a situation, but you definitely will. Should he die, all is not lost, but your win condition will change.
BACKGROUND:
You are an assassin, among the most accomplished in the world, personally trained by your own father, Ra's Al Ghul. In Arabic, his name translates, approximately, to "Head of the Demon;" if anything, this underestimates how dangerous he is. For longer than any citizen of Gotham city has been alive, your father have commanded the League of Assassins - an international brotherhood dedicated to cleansing the sins of humanity, by any means necessary.
In the last decade or so, your father's wrath has become increasingly focused on the corrupt metropolis called Gotham City; he has come to believe that everyone of that city, whether "hero" or "villain" or "innocent," deserves cleansing in the most permanent fashion possible. Like so many kids charged with inheriting the family business, you... have your doubts. For some time, you carried out your rebellion against your father in the standard way - a clandestine romantic relationship with a man in a bat suit.
But four years ago, the man in the bat suit fell. All that remains to you now is your father, and whatever you think of his plans and his methods his is still your father; you will defend and advance his life and interests no matter who must fall along the way.
You and your father have come to Gotham. He hides himself away - though he knows your identity, you do not know his. You do know what he hopes to accomplish - the destruction of everyone not part of the League of Assassins. It is likely that he will be pursuing this goal in a rather direct fashion each Night, leaving you to help indirectly. You are aware that there are a limited number of players with uncertain loyalties - players who might, if contacted by a suitably charming and dangerous young woman - throw their lot in with the League of Assassins. Get out there and find them, and good luck!
POWERS:
By Day
1. Once per Day, you may target a player of your choice. If this player is a recruitable third party, (s)he will be offered a chance to join the League of Assassins, with a win condition identical to that of your father. If (s)he accepts, you will be informed of this development.
If your target does not accept the chance to join the League, or is not a recruitable third party, you will receive no response to your inquiry (so there will be no difference from your perspective between the case where you target a player who is not an recruitable third party and the case where you do target a recruitable third party but (s)he does not agree to join the League).
Your identity will not be revealed to your target in any case.
You may recruit a maximum of two players to join the League.
By Night
2. You also have another power, which you may use exactly once. Using this power, you may hide behind a player of your choice. Any actions (with very limited exceptions) directed at your will hit your target instead; however, actions directed at your target will affect both you and your target.
This power triggers and is used only if either you or your target (or both) is actually targeted with an ability; if neither of you is, nothing happens and you may attempt to use this ability again on a subsequent Night.
