<center> Ladies and Gentlemen!
I am proud to present you:
River and Will's RPG:
The Count of Monte Cristo</center>
Plot: 1815, France has just experienced a turbulent time of Revolution and after that the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte which ended with his dreaded return from Moscow in the Battle of Leipzig. Napoleon was banned to the island of Elba which is near to the France coast.
In Marseille the young Edmond Dantes is blessed with a beautiful fiancé, Mercedes, and a new promotion to become captain of the ship the Pharao. But not all are happy with Edmond's prosperity: his best friend Fernand, the son of a count, is secretely in love with Mercedes and can't stand that Edmond whom he just sees as a "commoner" has so much luck in life. Together with Danglars, first mate on the ship the Pharao, Fernand sets up a plot to betray Edmond and eventually Edmond is arrested on charge of treason (cooperation with Napoleon). He's sentenced by the judge Villefort on false grounds, to a life time in the horrible prison Chateau D'if.
Here Edmond meets the Priest Faria who has accidentily been digging a secret tunnel to his cel instead of the outer wall. Together with the priest Edmond continues digging the tunnel, while the priest learns Edmond the sword, mathematics, science and languages. Eventually the priest dies but he has given Edmond a map of the island of Monte Cristo, where a treasure has been hidden.
Now Edmond will try to escape, find the treasure to be able to plot his plan for revenge.
First, thanks for reading this rather long summary. Our intention was to start a RP based on the movie of the Count of Monte Cristo. (Clike
here to watch the trailer) The RP will start when Edmond finds the priest dead and then he will try to escape the prison. After that he'll disguise himself as "The Count of Monte Cristo" to take his revenge on Fernand, Danglars, Villefort and, when he learns that his fiancé married his "friend" who betrayed him (Fernand), Mercedes.
