Plot:
You are a person living in the Holy Roman Empire or Italy. The type of person you will be, however, is all up to you. You can be an Assassin, Templar, or even a normal citizen. Though, whatever you do will lead to something else- whether it lead to good or evil.
On top of the everyday struggle against the Assassins, the Templars have discovered that Altair, an Assassin of legend, had written every single thing about the Brotherhood in a book, which has been kept locked up somewhere in the Holy Roman Empire. The Assassins have discovered this as well, and now, the two are fighting more than ever-- the Templars for retrieving the book and destroying the Brotherhood using their secrets, and the Brotherhood to keep their secrets safe.
The Book of Altair, or so the book is called, is located somewhere in the empire. It could be under the city in the caverns and tunnels, or up in the city itself. However, both the Brotherhood and Templars know that Altair was unpredictable- and thus he must have hidden his book in an unpredictable and dangerous place.
The Brotherhood and the Templars do not yet know that the book is being searched for by the other, but soon, citizen's gossip of the movement around the city, or captive Assassins put through rigorous torture will spill the beans. The question is... Who will find the book first, the Brotherhood or the Templars?
Setting:
This RP is set in the Holy Roman Empire at its peak, around 1500, stretching across most of central mainland Europe. Most of the focus will be in Rome itself, where Assassins and Templar constantly battle for control. Within the city is both the Brotherhood's headquarters: all operations in the region are based out of it, and it is the home of the city's population of Assassins, and the Templar Barracks.
The Assassin headquarters is an extensive building, though hidden quite well, housing a large library, several commons, a training yard, and a dormitory. The dormitory is several large rooms with beds along both sides of the walls, each room for each doffs rent rank of Assassin save the Masters and Mentor. These individuals have private rooms, and the Mentor a study as well. Deeper in the confusing halls lie the armory and treasury, which can only be accessed with the Mentor's permission.
The Templar Barracks is similar, though much less sophisticated. It contains the sleeping area, where all troops but the Grand Master sleep, those with the highest rank nearest the door, an extensive training yard, and a noteworthy armory. Facilities for smithing and forging are on the premises, though most guards are discouraged from experimenting.
Terms:
•Street-Born: an assassin who was born and raised in the streets. They are respected the most because they learned how to survive on their own.
•Creed-Born: an assassin who was born and raised in the Creed. They are least respected because they lived a pampered and protected life until it came time to learn how to fight.
•Litter [Litters]: a babe or babes that were born to an assassin.
•Dirty Half Blood [Dirty Half Blood Templar/Half Blood]: a Templar or assassin whose mother/father was an assassin and their father/mother was a Templar. Overall the most disrespected people in the Order or Brotherhood. They are treated like garbage.
•Eagle Sense: a sixth sense in assassins (and sometimes Templar). They have the ability to observe something so well that they find out information about the item or person they are looking at.
Rules:
1. No flaming, god modding, constant vulgar cursing, etc.
2. No Mary Sues or Gary Stus.
3. There will be several scenes in this RP that involves violence, but please do not go into gruesome detail about a kill.

5. Be realistic!
6. There can and will be romance, but please be aware that you must keep it PG-13.
7. You can make as many characters as you want, but please keep them active.
8. Translate any foreign language in your posts, even if it contains curses.
No chat speak. You must use proper grammar.
9. All sections of the form must be filled if you wish to be accepted.
10. There is a 100 word minimum on posts, but attempt to maintain at least two to three paragraphs per-character-per-post.

Character Information:
Assassins- They are the main focus of the story. Their group is also called the Brotherhood. They are basically the good guys, yet, they pick pocket, and commit unruly actions at times to attract attention. These people revere two assassins named Altair and Ezio. They do not allow dirt to be scraped on those names, no matter what. There are five types of assassins:
1.) Mentor- overall the highest an assassin could go in rank; they are the ultimate leader of a branch, and the country that they're in. Think of the Mentor as the president and the leaders as their advisors. Whatever the Mentor says, goes, no matter what. If all the leaders gather and decide on something between each other, they must go to their Mentor for the approval. They give the final descision on any attacks, executions, or mentor for a specific apprentice.
2.) Assassin Masters- the leaders of the group of assassins. They give out orders and give others apprentices to teach. They are usually the quickest and smartest of the group, but of course, they have flaws as well. These are the only assassins that have Dual Hidden Blades and there can be three of them.
3.) Assassin- a normal assassin. They go around performing missions and helping the locals.
4.) Assassin Instructor- an assassin who is currently teaching an apprentice. The mentor and the apprentice usually go on missions together and their trust is basically unbreakable. Mentors are usually trustworthy assassins that have proven themselves worthy to teach a younger apprentice.
5.) Assassin Apprentice- a new assassin. They are currently in training.
Assassins usually stay to themselves while on missions. Though, if they do come across Germanic Guards, they use a technique that calls assassins to their aid- a whistle resembling the screech of a bird of aid. This could be heard for at least a mile, and assassins have been taught that this is a sign of distress and they should investigate.
Templar- The Templar Order, also known as the Order of the Knights Templar, is a monastic military order-turned-corporate giant, which was formed during the prehistoric era. The Templars seek to create a perfect world, although their interpretation thereof - emphasizing purpose, order and control, over the freedom of individuals - directly contrasts the ideals of their sworn enemies, the Assassin Order. There are three types of Templar:
1.) Grand Master- The Grand Master is the very peak of the Templar order. His/her word is law, and often, he/she controls several influential political figures. Often, the Grand Master is the strongest of the Templar.
2.) Captains: The captains are the next rank down from the Grand Master. They directly organize the many assets of the Templar, including the control of guards and troops.
3.) Germanic Guards- The elite of the Templar's warriors, the Germanic Guards are usually the ones that actually engage Assassins. Most are not skilled enough to kill them, but those that do have a promising future.
Citizens- Citizens make up the main population of the empire, and are usually oblivious to the inner workings of the Assassin-Templar conflict. However, nothing can stop rumors from spreading, and news of strange happenings in Rome is not hard to come by...
