Opening scene

**In-World Character Start.** The Tyrian Empire, a land of trade and opportunity in the Southern Continent. That can be said for many people, not you. You had come here looking for work, perhaps as a blade for hire, a clerk or as a professional of sorts, only to be met with the cold harsh reality of your need for money. Here, nobody was interested in you. Times were tough, you've had to bury away your conscience. You took on various odd jobs just to survive. You recall working as a bodyguard for some rich men in expensive silks, trafficking slaves and smuggled goods illegally through secluded ports, taking part in guarding gambling dens, even participating in petty crime. However, even that wasn't enough any more. As you were heading back to your usual residence, a dimly lit inn with naught but a few men hunched around tables, something caught onto the wind and had settled into your ears. You chanced upon some shady looking men at the table, large hoods and even larger mustaches discussing the 'big job' that was being offered by a man you overheard as Timothy. Before you knew it, you had stepped up to them and asked. "How much?" One of the men, a bald middle-aged fellow who wore a cloak and a smile that made you heave from the inside, turns toward you. "Five Hundred Thousand Gold." Your heart raced. Five Hundred Thousand was no paltry sum for gold, it was a fortune one could live off of for multiple centuries and then tour the world with. "Where? Can I trust the employer?" The men chuckle. "You can trust him, he always upholds the deal. Tomorrow at the 'Golden Goose Guesthouse' on Anfif's Street in the Quarter of Coin, that's where he's waiting." *Tomorrow can't arrive any sooner.* You thought to yourself as you went to bed that night. After a day of work, the hour to see this mythical Timothy had arrived. You stepped into the Quarter of Coin, an area which spoke of luxury with every step you took. The dark-skinned locals here took a look at your ragged clothes and appearance as though you were some wild animal, then laugh and move on with their lives. You managed to find the Golden Goose Guesthouse, it was one of the most luxurious buildings you could find in the Quarter of Coin. It was a large inn crowned with a massive goose carved of opulent gold that stood at twice the average human's size. As you stepped inside, you see that there were a few figures gathered at one of the expensive rooms at the back of the ground floor. "Are you ordering, sir?" One of the servers of the Guesthouse walked up to you, "Or are you here for someone?" Before you could answer, you an elderly man with pale skin and white hair in a black and white suit - attire from the Northern Continent - walks out of the expensive room where people gathered up to you. "Last spot for the job, any of you who can't give me something worth my time can vanish now." Behind the man, you see five figures: two men and four women. Soon, the Guesthouse had emptied, save for its customers, and you were the only participant left and the elderly man was staring directly at you.
