The envelope came to you. Via one of your contacts, be whoever they are, it came to you with explicit instructions that only you are to inspect its contents. A typical white stationary envelope, with an exceptionally simple red circle emblazoned on its exterior. As you examine it you can tell by weight that something substantial is within; that there is more than just paper inside. After carefully inspecting it for signs of tampering, or worse some form of booby-trapping, you open it.
*CLUNK* Is the sound of the nearly one-inch diameter platinum coin as slams heavily onto the surface of the desk or table you’re seated at. Upon closer examination, you can make out a skull surrounded by intricate filigree and the Latin phrase “QUI BENEFICIO MERETUR DOLUM” in gold on one side, on the other a series of twelve concentric rings, the outer most being minted in a dark red hue of copper. You’ve never seen a coin like this one before, but you recognize the Red Circle adorning it, and the envelope it fell out of.
The Red Circle.
A mythical underground crime syndicate that has supposedly operated for nearly a century, fulfilling the needs of some of the most powerful and well-connected elites in all the world. Boogeymen, nothing more. At least, that’s what you and everyone else dismissed it as until this envelope came to you. Pulling the rest of the contents from the envelope, you discover a tri-folded single sheet of fine linen paper, and a First-Class boarding pass for one flight from wherever you are in the world, to the city of Denver, Colorado. Setting the boarding pass aside now, you turn your attention to the letter...
“Salutations.
If you’re reading this letter, then it is because you have acquired our attention. Whether this was your intent or not is inconsequential. However, what is, is the opportunity you are being offered by my associates. Make no mistake about it, it is your reputation as a consummate professional that has attracted us, but we will still need to verify the validity of that reputation.
Therefore, we extend to you an invitation to join us in person. Accompanying this letter is a First-Class Boarding Pass for a flight to Denver, Colorado; where upon landing you will be brought to our discrete location. Once you’ve arrived, the specifics of our offer will be disclosed to you in detail.
We look forward to your arrival and wish you an enjoyable flight.
~The Red Circle
P.S. We trust that you will dispose of this letter appropriately.”

So that’s the basic introduction for an RP that I’ve been wanting to do for a long while, and I think now may be the time to see if anyone might be interested in sharing in it with me. If you’re a fan of films like 'Heat', 'John Wick', and 'The Jackal'; or if you’re a fan of video games like 'Hitman', 'Grand Theft Auto', and 'Payday'; then this RP is one that I think you will enjoy.
I’m looking for at least three players to take part in this RP, I myself will control all NPCs, as well as one member of the crew, just to make sure things move along when players get a little stuck. I have a multitude of different heists/missions that the crew will be offered to undertake, which will allow for new crew members to come along at the end, or to allow players the chance to start a new character, if their current one is getting boring or stale.
Elements of this RP that you can expect include; character interaction outside of heists/missions, specifically pertaining to character development – planning of heists/missions by members of the crew, as well as completing preparation tasks for the heists/missions – stealth oriented sneaking during heists/missions – action oriented shootouts during heists/missions – post heist/mission recap and interactions.
There will be some moral implications to the heists/missions, so expect that to be in play as well, though much of the moral impact you will be unaware of, until following the completion of a heist/mission, which will be revealed in the form of exposition of World Events. There will be an all-encompassing story-arc for this RP, which will be revealed to the player characters as they go along. I’d like to see if there is any interest in this, before I put together any character creation tables.
So, if you’re interested say so.
