Description:

It had been four years since Max Devine, the wheelchair-bound founder of
Devine Computer Industries, lost his beloved daughter Sarah to the
notorious serial killer whom the media christened Judas. It would seem
that her death was his last for Judas never killed again. He was never
brought to justice.

As the world moves onwards into darkness, the number of serial killers
active across the world has increased. More victims are taken. More tears
are shed. More innocent blood is shed.

Until today.

INNOCENT BLOOD is an e-mail based game inspired by books such as 'Silence
Of The Lambs' and 'Kiss The Girls', and by television series such as
'Millenium' and 'Cracker'. Players assume the roles of individuals (any
profession is allowed whether it be police officer, journalist, priest,
psychologist, private detecive etc) summoned to Devine's mansion in London
and asked to become part of an unnofficial law enforcement group whose
main aim is to catch those who lurk within society's shadows, those who
kill without mercy.

The game will be split into different Scenarios (each featuring a
different killer), and each of these are split into further Episodes, in
which the team use their skills to track down criminals across the world.

If you are interested in this game, please email me at the above address
with a brief history of your character and an explanation of their
personality. Why would they be of use to Max Devine? What are their
skills? What are their resources (Do they have police contacts in Japan or
access to media lockers in Los Angeles for example) I am looking for four
characters and will pick the best of those that I recieve by the 10th of
October. After that, players should ensure that all game turns are sent to
the above email address once each week and I will then email you with a
response every Sunday.

Be warned that the tone of the game is extremely dark! Those aged below 18
years should not apply.
