Being the diplomat character I am I was thinking, maybe we should have a round table about how to get some Citadel based RPs going. I am not boss or anything here, just someone who's been around for some time, so this is nothing "official", just me having ideas. When I was reading this profile of Artyom I was thinking about the huge untapped potential. He's the head of a crime syndicate, The Black Krokodil and is running a huge club as the center of everything. Isn't this a cool background story where most of not all Citadel characters here could connect to? 4eyes4thewin is also running his LTD, an orphanage for duct rats which is in reality a front for something else. Druss Jorkakt is looking for adventures on the Citadel to prove herself Crossfire Theta already works for Artyom's syndicateArtacus Kalmavius Kalmavius is a bounty hunter who also works for C-Sec Halon and geminis have also Citadel relevant characters.... those and some more perhaps So, what I was thinking is not one huge thread or something but more like, why don't we take all of this as a background - a crime syndicate doing theirt things like trying to protect their red sand market, blackmail politicians with some smut, trying to recruit duct rats from under LTDs nose, bribe C-Sec or bounty hunters.... ... and actually get some small, simple but entertaining RP threads going? As a pair, as three... about different aspects of such a scenario, whatever interests you most or wherever your character could be affected? Don't over think the complicated stuff, just actually do simple things? And here is the point. For that to work we must talk to each other. From where it is right now it seems either everyone just stares at a blank sheet of paper or waits until an invitation happens and someone else is doing stuff. But if everybody just waits for that, stuff might never happen. So, as an asari diplomat (figuratively, I don't have blue skin irl) I'd like to attempt to act as a moderator, maybe some of you characters can imagine your OC in certain situations as I just described. I would like to hear your opinions and your input (well, I believe, everybody wants to hear it). What could your character's position in this whole scenario be? What would you like to play out?

These ideas sound pretty intriguing, though I think some criminals are gonna have a rough time when trying to bribe Artacus >;3

I figure Druss is either going to take the paragon path of finding out how spectres are chosen via talking to Arina or doing extranet research . . . Or She'll go renegade and try going all vigilante on a known criminal hideout in an attempt to draw the specters attention.

(4Eyes4TheWin here) Well I'm always up for some LTD roleplay (rather desperate for it really), but I have to warn everyone that already two of my posting partners disappeared mid-RP and were never seen or heard from again. So I hope you're feeling lucky!

Kira and Mira might try blackmailing a certain Asari Diplomat into supporting such-and-such cause, if they can dig up a little dirt about afore mentioned Diplomat.

Nice to see responses Crossfire, I like that Idea of Arina or maybe some higher up at the office being put under pressure by some gangsters. Any idea what it could be, compromising footage, a dark spot in the past? In favor of simply money or for favors? If you want to start a thread where something like this is happening, feel free. Artacus, how could he be doing stuff that connects him to Artyom’s gang? Hm, maybe he’s hunting down one of Artyom’s henchmen who is on the Citadel for some stupid reasons (wanted for substance and gun possession, maybe connected to homicide). Artyom might want to prevent this from happening? Maybe it’s about some lover that the idiot doesn’t want to leave or whatever… Artyom, any ideas from you about such a thing? Your guy is the big Boss in the center of the net Druss could be caught in the crossfire and has to act since Artacus tracks the suspect down in front of Cission Motors? (do they have bad luck?) This could be a setup where Druss and Artacus get into a fight since Druss wants to defend the Customer while Artacus wants to arrest the criminal before C-sec gets him and messes up his bounty? Could make for a cute action thread. 4eyes, I know you are great at plotting. Any ideas from you how LTD get into it? What could happen if a new organization like the black krokodil starts recruiting young former duct rats? Of course, these are just ideas I am having, putting it on the table. Throw in all the ideas you have.

How bout some intel about very.... unconscionable actions during the war? Real or not, the Asari are still under a bit of scrutiny for their fumble, it wouldn't be to hard to feed this to the right people... ruin some careers... I'l throw up a thread.
Edit: Tis up, look for "Smiles that Kill" ((Har har, I made a funny bout ploiticians))

The Black Krokodil's primary operations are drug trafficking and gun running through the Citadel. While the latter isn't technically illegal, since the sale of fire arms is legal on the Citadel as long as they aren't on handed directly to the buyer on the station, it is all off the books. So any starting plots can probably center around one of those two activities; hiring the LTD group for logistics or whatever, keeping C-Sec off their backs (and Artacus), or playing the political scene.
As far what you bring up Star, I can definitely see Artyom wanting to keep the wanted member of the BK out of C-Sec's hands, since they're trying to stay as inconspicuous as possible. Failing that, Artyom would have to pull some strings to get the guy released and sent off the Citadel, which will cost him.

No idea about that, Halon. It's all up to you I guess. This is just a brainstorm and I am just trying to be the catalyst (uhm… okay, maybe not the best analogy but you get my point I hope)
Artyom, maybe you and 4eyes should get in some PM conversation about that subject? 4eyes seems to be on Easter vacations but he usually reads his PMs.
Druss, Artacus, what about this idea: A hot pursuit in skycars as Artacus tracks down its target, one of Krokodil’s goons, all coming to a huge gunfight/fistfight in front of Cisssion motors where Druss is? I could start that thread right away if you want to do it
Artyom might not be happy about one of his guys going to C-sec custody and my want to bail him out, trying to pull strings?

Skycar chase? Where do I sign up?
It sounds like a good idea and such.

I'm around sorry, just no plotting ideas came to mind yet. I'll keep thinking about it. @artyom : You can't really hire LTD, it's a charity protecting duct rats. They've been known to do a bit of vigilantism against gangs though. You can still ask them for help (or pressure them) with the right arguments I suppose.
