Paris, 2047 A.D.<br/><br/>A woman in a red bodysuit walked up to the ledge of a building overlooking the Arc De Triomphe. A fair Japanese girl, her collar-length hair blowing in the wind as she clutched a steel briefcase in her hand. She set the large case down on the ledge and flipped it open.<br/><br/>A few moments later, a convoy of black four-doors paraded down a blocked off street, diplomatic flags flying all the while. Directly down into the street ahead of her, the cars straightened up in a neat little line the woman in red hefted a fully assembled M82 sniper rifle up against the pocket of her shoulder, kneeling behind the ledge as she took aim between the balusters.<br/><br/>Back down on the street, in the first vehicle... Bullet-proof glass broke, a gaping hole through the cracked window as the driver's side of the lead car was painted in blood. The car spun out of control as the woman pulled the bolt back, a hot shell propelled off to the side.<br/><br/>The second car tried to swerve out of the way as the first crashed into a street lamp. Less than a few moments later, the glass shattered again and the second vehicle went straight into the glass window of a bakery.<br/><br/>The woman in red cocked the rifle again, another shell casing rolling away...<br/><br/>The third vehicle escaped her, breaking hard as it drifted across the intersection and out of her sight. The fourth and last vehicle was not so fortunate, being left behind as its driver was killed.<br/><br/>A wealthy blonde man was in the back seat of the remaining vehicle, pants around his ankles with a pair of attractive women by his side. The driver, a short-haired man in a suit with green eyes looked back to see if they were alright. He did not see the dark van charging up from a side-street as it T-boned the diplomatic vehicle right in the rear corner of the car, sending it spinning wildly out of control.<br/><br/>In the middle of the spin, the driver's side door opened and the green-eyed man stepped out, one hand reaching to his belt where he kept his pistol. He stepped forward just enough to avoid the car's rear bumper from slamming into his hips. He started discharging his desert eagle with pinpoint accuracy into the driver's side of the aggressing van. The driver, a ducked low, shifted gears and stomped on the gas. The van was propelled forward towards the man in the suit.<br/><br/>He lowered his pistol and winded his other arm back. The van came to a hurtling stop as the man's palm smashed into the hood and reduced parts of the engine-block into shredded pierces of metal. The driver crashed through the bullet hole-ridden window. He was a dark man with a shaved head and a slight beard. His fist met the man in the suit first, smashing into a cheek and hurtling the bodyguards backwards as his attacker landed on his feet. Less than a moment later, the assassin darted off towards the four-door sedan, drawing a pistol with an extended magazine as a mechanism in his other wrist produced a sharpened kunai right into his other hand.<br/><br/>The assassin leaped up into the air, flipping before he landed right on top of the vehicle. Bracing the kunai under his G18 pistol, the assassin unloaded a bullet storm into the sunroof's glass as he planted his feet on each side. After emptying the magazine, he brought his feet together and smashed through the weakened roof, landing amid the trio within. The assassin's instantly felt his hand pressed against the roof of the vehicle, kunai falling from his grasp harmlessly. He was stopped by one of the two women, her complexion also dark- with flowing long hair and an elegant dress. She pressed a pistol up to his chin as the diplomat and the other woman fled the vehicle. She smiled, her face sinister as she cocked the hammer and pulled the trigger.<br/><br/><strong>PCs</strong><br/>Post your sheets in this thread and I'll link them.<br/><br/><strong>NPCs</strong><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Background</div><div class="spoiler_body">Shinobi have always abided by law.
