Welcome to this new RP that will hopefully last for a long time.
Here you will be playing as a recently deceased character that was brought back to life so it could become... an employee. There you will be instructed to kill individuals that have a contract on them by your new Boss. Why would you do that? You might ask. Well, here is the catch - You're living on borrowed time. If you don't work you won't get any life energy and when you run out you will die permanently. So be careful, do your job and conserve your energy!

The Setting
This is your life. The year is 2011 and nothing seems out of the ordinary.
But then it happens. Without warning your mind is surrounded with blackness. Emptiness replaces your thoughts and you can't do anything. It's all gone. You must scream, but your mouth can't move. You can't feel your mouth. You can't feel anything.
But then a voice pierces through this darkness.
"You are dead, friend. Do you want to live again?"
The voice sounds low and husky, like the one of an old man that had smoked too many cigarettes in his life.
You want to scream out. You want to say yes. But you can't talk. You feel the voice pulling away. You want to call him back for your rescue. Then you finally feel something.
It's cold. So damn cold. You open your eyes and see a cigarette. Then you see a man standing over you, examining your body. He wears a grey blazer with a weird insignia on the right sleeve. You try to look at his face, but then you feel his hand moving your head to the side.
"Do you agree to work for me?"
He asks you. You just want to go back. You can't stay in the dark anymore. You accept.
You can feel the rest of your body now. It takes you a few minutes to stand up on your own. You remember your name. You remember what happened.
You should be dead.
The man that saved you stands in front of you. He looks out into the horizon and you can see a trail of smoke coming from his face. You notice he wears a brown fedora hat, grey trousers and brown loafers. His hand moves up and takes the cigarette out of his mouth.
"This is shit", he says and throws the cigarette to the ground. "I gave you four hours. The note inside your pocket tells where you need to be in four hours. Sort out your business and then get there."
The man began walking away from you.
"Dead men tell no tales"
You look at the note. It tells you to be at an apartment downtown in four hours.

The Point
You died two hours ago. Submerged in darkness, a voice pulls you out and offers you your life back in exchange for your loyalty. He wants you to work for him.
When you meet the others in an apartment, just like you, the man appears again. You are living on borrowed time. Now you need to earn the time you live in. You will be working for him and accepting contracts ? You will kill people for him.
Now you must follow the contracts to stay alive, since the only thing keeping you alive, "Life Energy", can only be acquired through completing contracts and getting the bonus from your boss. Now go, you don't have time to waste.

Name: David Creedy
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Appearance: David stands at 6 feet. He appears to be very thin and lean, with short brown hair, brown eyes and slightly tanned skin. He usually wears a short sleeved T-shirt and sweatpants alongside black sneakers.
Education: High school Dropout
Occupation: Delivery boy
Biography: Life wasn't very kind to David. The first to be born in a family of now six sons, David had to help his mother support the household. When he was 15 he began working in part time jobs to help his mother. When she became ill and couldn't move, he left his school and began working full time at the age of seventeen. When his mother passed away he was eighteen and barely managed to keep custody on his little brothers. But the burden was too much for David.
He turned to a local loan shark for a loan to pay on the rent for his new crowded apartment. He couldn't afford living in their old house anymore. He would work for the loan shark as a delivery boy, riding a bike or simply running through the town to deliver packages.
One day David had to deliver another package, but had to make a detour to his apartment. His youngest brother was sick, so he had to take care of him. Unaware of the content in the package and the consequences of his actions, David came in late with his delivery. His younger brother had taken the contents of the package and threw them away, believing them to be garbage. When David came in with an empty package, he had to be dealt with.
Personality: David is miserable. Suffering loss after loss, the only thing keeping him up on his feet is the fate of his brothers. He loves all of them very dearly and considers their lives to be more important than his. He is usually quiet and stays hidden as to not attract any unwanted attention.
Cause of Death: The loan sharks that had used David as their delivery boy were sending out sealed doses of drugs and receiving money back from their clients. When David's brother accidently threw away the drugs that were in one of the packages David tried to deliver, the loan sharks decided to investigate. After David had told them that he doesn't know a thing, even after they beat him, they drove to the outskirts of the town and killed him near an empty construction site to eliminate all of the loose ends.
How you said your goodbye: After David had waked up and realized what just happened, he began to run towards his home. He ran all the way through the city and reached his apartment, where his brothers were at. He sat down next to his sick brother and kissed him goodbye. He then took the money that he hid for himself and gave it to his brother, the oldest of them all, to keep and use to pay for anything they need.
He promised him that he will return shortly and that he shouldn't open the door to anyone they don?t know, fearing they might be the loan sharks or child protective services.
