LORE: Five-Finger Discount – The Assassination

Lore I – Background Story
Exactly 30 years ago, in the year 1986 when the incident of the biggest bank heist occurred. The police went berserk on the search of the robbers that has robbed a total of $1.3 billions dollar and was no where to be found. The search went on for 10 years but nothing seems to be progressing, the robbers were skillfully in stealth. In the next 10 years after the heist, several charitable organisations reported that they have received anonymously huge amount of money for donation. Many citizens assumed that it could be the robbers’ doing all these while behind the scene. Supporters started emerging supporting the action of the robbers. The furtiveness of the robbers made their identities undiscovered which rendered the police helpless and hence, the search for them slowly died down.

Lore II – Robber’s Story
Jermaine (actor 1) and  Chris (actor 2) collected their fair bit of the share and headed towards the deserted south side of the world where most of the poor live, together with their own family.  Both of them decided to live generously to help as many people as they can with the money which was robbed from the bank only leaving enough for their own family. Jermaine and Chris both used to work as locksmith hence together opened a locksmith shop in town. Secretly observing how the police were furiously searching for them everywhere that was shown on the news, which they had their last laugh.
Everyone living in the town where Jermaine and Chris are hiding became happier as the financial issues the town always had, has been solved and the town flourished aggressively till this day. All because of the secret doings of Jermaine and Chris due to the investments and donations from them which solved most of the financial issues in the town. They never regretted what they did to the money. Jermaine and Chris found their true love in this very town and eventually got married. The apartment they live in is only a block away from one another. Jermaine has 2 cute children, a boy and a girl and Chris like always, obsessed with his little princess daughter.
Peace never last, Jermaine received a phone call one day. It was not from anybody in the town, family nor from Chris. It was from the mastermind whom hired him and Chris for the heist 30 years ago. The mastermind insisted them to do another heist for him if they want their family to be safe. However, due to age, responsibility for the family and the risk they will be facing is too huge, Jermaine and Chris rejected the job. But the mastermind demanded them to do the job otherwise they will not be able to see their family again.
Left with no choice, to kill or be killed, Jermaine and Chris decided to do an assassination of the mastermind….

Lore III – Transport
30 years later, due to the extreme polluted environment that was caused by the humans, usage of oil has been greatly reduced. Cars was not a choice anymore, everyone travel by foot. At most, with horses or cows. The people that normally owns a car are the VIPs and the high ranking personnel. This instance would not affect Jermaine and Chris as they are seldom required to travel a far distance. Hence, any kind of transport that they have would be by foot. However, the government has been working on this issue. Solar panels are beginning to get promoted throughout the entire world to encourage people to get energy from sunlight instead of oil. Hence, many electronic devices are now installed with a solar panel for auto-recharge. Cars are still a main issue currently as the amount of energy needed to operate one is too huge to be charged by the solar panel in a short amount of time. It takes up approximate 3 days to charge up a car for a total of 2 hours usage or a total distance of 200km. Therefore, majority of the people consider travelling by foot or horses to be the wiser choice.
Hierarchy of transport for different quality of living from top to bottom:
  1. Normal oil operated cars
  2. Electronic cars/transport
  3. Public transport (NEUTRAL) – counted expensive for many people
  4. Human rickshaw
  5. Animals
  6. By foot
Lore IV – Authority
In this country, it is mayor of a town where the culprit is currently in has the final say to whatever the outcome of the culprit, not the police. It is believed that the town belongs to the mayor and certain respect to listen to his/her opinion before capturing or sentencing his/her people.
The maximum sentence has been categorized in a total of 3 ways, (*ASS = after serving sentence)
  1. The normal sentence – A total of no. years depending of severity of crime + strokes of canes + life time citizen in town *ASS
  2. The express sentence – 3 – 5 years of jail time + 2 strokes of canes + life time citizen in town *ASS + only volunteer work with no income but only provided with 3 meals *ASS
  3. The special sentence – 1 year of jail time + life time citizen in town *ASS + volunteer work with no income but only provided with 3 meals *ASS + no privileges of citizen *ASS (public transport, restaurant or leisure places) + only allowed to stay in bunks/dormitory assigned to by government of the town *ASS
Every town has their own prison, any crime made by any one in a particular town will be thrown into the prison of that town.
The law is that if a town has lesser then a total population of 600 civilians, the town has to be merge with another bigger town or be demolished due to the wastage of manpower. Hence, travelers from other towns were to convict any crime in a particular, get caught and send to jail, they would be constricted their rest of their life in that town after as a punishment adding on to after what they have served for the sentence.
Many people also chose to switch their citizenship through this manner when the current town does not approve them of leaving or abandoning their citizenship.
