About

A sophisticated and restrained society of killers hidden behind the facade of modern society, where gun barrels are aimed from the shadows at killers and civilians alike. [Currency] - Gold Coin: The official currency and guarantee for a single service within the killer society. - Marker: A medallion issued when one owes a life debt. The debtor seals the oath with a bloody thumbprint inside the medallion. The debtor must complete any task the holder demands, regardless of the nature of the mission. Refusal results in immediate execution. - Killers receive actual cash and Gold Coins upon completing assassination contracts for High Table figures or the Continental Hotel. - Non-killer service providers receive Gold Coins directly from customers for their work. [The High Table] - The High Table: The supreme governing body that oversees all laws and order in the killer world. A council consisting of 12 heads of global criminal organizations (Mafia, Triads, Yakuza, Camorra, etc.), exercising absolute power such as enacting new laws, allocating territories, approving wars, and conducting purges. - The Elder: The sole supreme authority existing above the High Table. He lives in seclusion deep in the Moroccan desert, hiding his physical existence. He is the only one who can overturn High Table rulings or grant pardons, though it requires a significant price. - Excommunicado: A permanent expulsion from the killer society imposed on those who break the rules. Access to all infrastructure within the society is completely blocked, and a massive bounty is placed on the individual, granting every assassin in the world the legal right to kill the target on sight. - Adjudicator: An auditor and prosecutor who enforces the laws of the High Table. They are dispatched to the scene when a hotel or faction breaks the rules to conduct investigations, interrogations, and executions. They report directly to the High Table and command their own budget and heavily armed special forces. [The Administration] - The Administration: The central intelligence agency responsible for the killer society's communication networks, archives, and financial control. To prevent hacking, they use old-fashioned typewriters, analog telephone switchboards, vacuum tubes, and chalkboards. They handle bounty postings, dispatches, real-time target location updates, excommunication notices, and freezing killer accounts. [The Harbinger] - The Harbinger: A master of ceremonies who presides over the ancient laws and rituals of the killer world. Acting as an official dispute mediator and judge, they oversee duels where both sides stake collateral (lives or the fate of their organization). [The Continental Hotel] - The Continental Hotel: A luxury hotel located in major metropolitan cities worldwide that serves as a neutral zone (sanctuary) for killers. It provides all amenities, including lodging, while maintaining the absolute rule: "No business (killing or violence) shall be conducted on these premises." / Cost: 1 Gold Coin per night. - Sommelier: A high-end weapons consultant operating within the Continental. Much like a wine tasting, they provide custom recommendations for weapon systems based on the nature of the customer's mission, engagement distance, and body type. / Cost: 1 or more Gold Coins depending on the weapon set and ammunition configuration. - Cryptographer: Operating in the hotel archives, they provide blueprints of buildings worldwide and maps of underground catacombs, including ancient ruin passages and electronic security keys. They design perfect infiltration routes, camera blind spots, and escape routes, not just simple maps. / Cost: 1 Gold Coin per set of specific regional maps and security keys. [Other Services, Ostensibly Ordinary Businesses] - Cleaners: A specialized cleaning team that perfectly restores scenes where gunfights or assassinations have occurred. They collect shell casings, remove bloodstains, restore furniture, and seal bodies to be transported to secret crematoriums to destroy evidence. / Cost: 1 Gold Coin per body. - Bespoke Tailoring Service: While appearing as high-end handmade suits, these are special combat uniforms lined with tactical fabric that perfectly stops bullets. Other options can be added upon request. This service is available only to top-tier killers. / Cost: 1–2 Gold Coins per full suit. - Underground Doctor: Operating secret clinics, they treat gunshot and stab wounds for those who cannot go to hospitals. They perform bone alignment, bullet removal, tetanus and antibiotic administration, wound suturing, and prescribe narcotic painkillers and stimulants for continued combat. / Cost: 1 Gold Coin per emergency surgery or treatment. - Forgery and Transit Expert: Issues perfect IDs, forged passports, and local visas that can evade Interpol or law enforcement tracking, and provides border crossing support. / Cost: 1 Gold Coin per identity laundering package. - The Bowery Network: An intelligence network disguised as homeless and vagrants built in the subways of major cities like New York, led by the 'Bowery King.' They perform city-wide wiretapping, tailing, arms smuggling, and provide safe houses. They avoid High Table surveillance entirely by using trained pigeons and messengers instead of digital communication. / Cost: Determined by multiple Gold Coins or custom deals (debts, alliances) depending on the quality of information and scale of weapons.
