"Hey there, this is... "Wayne" with Miami Electric. We have a small electrical problem on East 48th Street, please deal with it quickly. Don't want to leave them in the dark, now do we?"

Mysterious phone calls have become normal with you, with it not even phasing you. Receiving a call or message, depending if you missing the call or not, and going out and killing blah blah amount of people at blah blah location. Sometimes you don't really care what happens to them or what happened to them, they want to kill you just as much as you want, or need, to kill them.
It's all about perspective... and killing.
You have adopted a persona, you are no longer yourself. A seemingly normal name behind a bizarre mask, most of these masks are animal, capturing the animal urges of the animal molded into the mask. Your mask is all your victims, and the cops, know you by.
But the thing is... you're not alone.
There are others like you, murderers in a bloody and twisted Miami. And they could want to kill you or you want to kill them, or vice versa. Or sometimes, on rare occasions, hitmen team up with each other, for the same purpose.
Killing.
This is a "Hotline Miami" roleplay, taking place in no place other than, Miami. I have recently become addicted to the story, gameplay, and just overall atmosphere of the game. I have merely started the second game, which was released on March 10th, and do not know much of the previous events before Jacket and Biker's story. So the events of this roleplay will take place in a slightly alternate universe. Jacket and Biker do not exist, and in replace of these very capable men, we come in.
We will be taking the role as groups of, or solo, hitmen who are assigned to contracts, either a solo person or a group of people, through mysterious phone calls. Each roleplayer will request a certain animal for their masked persona. The mask can be other things in certain cases (Ex: Biker's Motorcycle helmet) but must be requested. All requested animals, names, and certain attire must be publicly announced to the Interest Check thread or OOC Chat page, depending on how far we are in the progress of creating this roleplay. They must be announced so everyone knows and they do not copy. Hitmen could request a certain unique weapon (Ex: a blue painted machete, nickel plated gun, etc.) that no one else could have, but they cannot request a certain broad type of weapon, no one can say "I want to request a machete to be my and mine only unique weapon" because it is too broad of a spectrum and no one will be allowed to have the versatile and powerful machete, a good hitman tool.
These are just a few ideas, most of them are concrete and will make it to the roleplay, if the roleplay even happens. This is where I rely on you, if you show interest in this by knowing Hotline Miami and wanting to roleplay it, please speak up. I really want this to become a thing and I hope you want it to be a real thing too.
If enough people show interest, I might release the character sheet so those who are interested can start working on their characters. But that bridge will be crossed when the time comes.
Thank you for reading this far and I how you show interest in this little (or big) idea of mine!
