Literally Batman
World's Greatest Detective
Marked for Death
Imagine a world where the ability to use magic was real, not just the speak of fairy tales, and where much of the population could use magic, to certain degrees. This world is not just a fantasy land. In the land of Arlia, this dream is a reality, where people, whether knights or bakers, rogues or merchants, used magic, which manifested itself as magical abilities. This land seems like a magical place- however, the land is plagued by poverty and tyranny, where the King and his consorts live in luxury, while much of the common people suffer. As much as 75% of people live in poverty, many of them forced to live on the streets or in filthy, cramped houses. Another 20% of Arlia are guards, who get better lives but are forced to sell their souls away to the King of Arlia, and must risk their lives for him. The last 5% are either in the Royal Family or are friends of the King, and they live in luxury, in grandiose manors and castles, to be praised by the poor.
Many of the people of Arlia are hoping for a new, fresh start with the ascending king, King Draygon, who seems like a charismatic, humble man, much more so than his late father, King Uron. However, Draygon is just as oppressive and greedy as his father, and is more than willing to hurt the people for his own benefit or even amusement.
Enter Shadow Eye
Shadow Eye is a group of elite assassins formed to usurp the tyrannical government and kill anybody who exploits the people of Arlia. Their ranks are small and their morals make them not the ideal saviors of Arlia. However, most of them, if not all, are people who want to see the rest of the world freed. Shadow Eye sometimes operates as individuals and sometimes as a group, but either way, they are the top of their game. Shadow Eye assassins are so devoted to their positions, they all brand themselves with the mark of the Demon's Eye, seen above. Shadow Eye does not go about actively killing, in fear of being caught, but takes requests from clients who have been maltreated by others. Shadow Eye is sometimes paid, sometimes not.
A new client has arrived for Shadow Eye, with the biggest mark of them all- the King himself, along with four of his biggest advisors. He has offered Shadow Eye a massive sum of money in exchange for their lives. However, the money is not the main motivator for Shadow Eye. It is time for the regime of Arlia to fall.
A Wrench in the Works
However, the client, a man known only as Gamemaster, had one major flaw in his plan. There was a mole. The mole reported back to Lord Draygon, who, paranoid, formed the Elite Guard, a group built to usurp Shadow Eye and protect him and his consorts. By any costs necessary. The Elite Guard's intervention will make ending the Royal bloodline much more difficult.
However, Shadow Eye is ready.

King Draygon
The main target of the Shadow Eye's mission, King Draygon is the leader of Arlia and resides in Grand Marquis. Cocky and greedy, Draygon will do anything to seize greater wealth and power, including murder and worse. Draygon lives in the Royal Palace in Grand Marquis, where he conducts much of his operations. Though he is more of a planner than a doer, Draygon is adept with a sword and has magic, though it is unknown of what form it is.
Lord Everett
Lord Everett is a former knight and the governor of Alvenwolst, appointed by Draygon himself. While most knights fight with honor, Everett is not above using torture and other examples to break down his opponents. Responsible for many war crimes as well as the conquest and enslavement of thousands on the island of Maua, Everett has left Alvenwolst a poor and dirty place. Despite having age catch up to him, Everett is still a formidable combatant, his magical ability being the ability to enchant any weapon with magical properties.
Lord Krell
Lord Krell is the leader of Brandenly, appointed by Uron, Draygon's father. Krell is a paranoid- even before the news of Shadow Eye's plan reached him. Krell has left Brandenly, an already hot city where very few crops can grow, even poorer and less suitable for life. Krell values his own life incredibly and will arrest and publicly execute anybody even remotely suspicious of treason. Krell does not have magic, but he does have wealth, being a governor and a former oligarch. His own personal defense group is one of the best trained in all of Arlia.
Lady Shakova
Lady Shakova is perhaps the worst of all the targets, the leader of Frostka, the northern, freezing-cold city. Shakova is well known as a sadist and a brutal murderer, and enjoys the suffering of her own people. She has built a wall around Frostka, well-fortified by her men, that keeps her people in so she can kill them, slowly and painfully. Shakova has magic, in the form of cryokinesis- advanced, at that.
Lord Yonder
Lord Yonder is the newly-appointed governor of O'ha La'Ki, the city captured during the recent raid on Maua, a tropical island formerly populated by the Roga people. The Roga were all either slaughtered or enslaved durign the attack, though willing to surrender. Very few escaped. Yonder enjoys manipulating and beating his Roga slaves, a sadist as well. His magical ability is sound manipulation- at face value a seemingly useless ability, but in fact an incredibly deceptive and powerful one.
Anybody that Gets in Their Way
Watch out, Elite Guard.
