Murder Mystery: Truth's Reprieve

Truth's Reprieve

Truth's Reprieve is a slow-paced murder mystery thread of sorts. I say slow-paced as I may not be the fasted poster, and I don't expect anyone to be restricted to the 48/72-hour posting window (albeit preferred, for myself included). It's a bit styled to Danganronpa, in that there won't be the same killer the same time (albeit no punishments). There are 18 slots, though not all will be filled, or need to be filled (as we do need some dead NPCs, lol); likely I'll lock at 8 people, myself included. The thread will be death-disabled (though not maim-disabled); the reason is because this thread will take more than a month or two and this way people can have their characters participate in this without having to limit how many threads they are in.

The premise is that a terrorist known as Truth has sabotaged a backwater space station, bombs having damaged several sections of the station and killed many inhabitants. Truth has threatened to have the power core self-destruct if the survivors do not participate in his 'social experiment'. Basically, someone can only leave alive at the end of the 'social experiment' if they have murdered someone. However, the survivors don't plan to play his game, and seek to band together to survive. However, some stragglers may occasionally try their luck at murder, and it will be up to the participants to uncover the suspect.

The murders will already be pre-determined, or if a target is a PC, severely injured (though survive). If the story comes to a part where you by chance are to be the killer, I'll PM you, and you'll get to devise your murder scheme and PM me your murder post, where I'll post it under Storyteller (as to hide the killer's identity); I'll keep in communication with the mods so any Storyteller murder posts collect credits to the correct people at the end of the thread. The story is semi-controlled, due to the murders pre-determined, but I feel that there is great enough potential to have a blast and enjoy ourselves. I'll also let participants flesh out a NPC if they desire, to give a name, backstory, etc.

The slots are as followed:
-The Accountant
-The Administrator
-The Bounty Hunter
-The Chef
-The Communications Officer
-The Engineer
-The Force User (Sith or wannabe Jedi)
-The Foreman
-The Janitor
-The Life Support Officer
-The Medic
-The Pilot
-The Secretary
-The Security Officer (can also be a mercenary)
-The Soldier (of their respective militia; not from the space station but rather taking part in a bounty collection for the Bounty Hunter)
-The Visitor
