[F4M] He has the ultimate power: he’s judge and executioner

I would like to play a story that features power imbalance, humiliation and (optionally) eventual execution of an innocent female character. I’m interested in stories where there’s a psychological layer, characters behave realistically, and physics are realistic.

The background can be a city where mafia has impunity, or a near-future authoritarian government with a paramilitary punishing dissenting civilians. My character is a young woman who has done something that has bothered the men at the top; something relatively mild, but she doesn’t have the right connections and she has been unlucky enough to be warranted a conditional death sentence. This is a bit “less bad” than a regular/guaranteed death sentence, but only in the sense that the final choice is left up to the hitman: he has the power to pardon her if he just decides she deserves it, or execute her using the method he prefers if he wishes so; he doesn’t have to justify his decision to any higher-up either way.

In practice, this is used for people who have done something bad but they are not too important either. At the same time, for the hitman it can work as an added perk in the form of a power trip, since he can decide granting of the pardon or the lack of it on any reason he wants, including personal ones.

Your character is a man who has recently found a comfortable position within the mob / ruling class, and is chosen as executioner for this case. In addition, it so happens that the target is a young woman (statistically speaking, male mobsters and goons are more frequent targets).

As it’s usually the case with targets of a conditional sentence, she has been informed of her situation through a short call. If she tries to flee, not only will she lose the chance of being pardoned, but her whole family will be offed too. Therefore, she would feel that her best chance is cooperating, trying to be liked by the hitman, trying to please him in every possible way, hoping that increases the chance that he offers mercy.

I’m interested not only in the physical part but also in the interaction between the characters and the extreme power imbalance derived from this situation. The addition of the right to pardon adds an extra psychological layer with respect to a straight-away execution. She will know he’s free to kill or save her, and she will desperately try to do her best to create rapport, be as nice as possible to him, try to please him in every possible way, in order to desperately increase her chances of being granted a pardon.

She may be sent to his own place, or he may go to hers (whatever you prefer). The things she may try may be along the lines of: being extremely polite and accommodating during their meeting; dolling up perfectly for him, including fancy lingerie, stiletto heels, etc; preparing the best possible food for him; being sexually available for him in any way he pleases.

Regarding her actual fate, I am open to she being eventually executed despite her earnest efforts, or her life being eventually spared, depending on your preferences. There’s also the intermediate option that her life is spared but she’s left scarred or seriously hurt in some way, as “partial” punishment.

A few additional notes depending on the fate you prefer.

If you want her executed: I think it’d be good if at the beginning she doesn’t know if she has a chance to survive. But I think I’d be also good if he lets her know that he’s not gonna spare her well before he actually kills her, but even after she knows, she still has to be fully cooperative and please him, just in order to prevent her family from being punished too. I like this level of terrified-coerced cooperativeness that is neither eager nor physically forced. In other words, I don’t like characters physically resisting, but since I like realism, it goes without saying that I don’t like eager victims either.

If you want her to be spared: The psychological layer would benefit from him doing it in a way that she feels grateful for being spared, even if he hurts her. There’s one caveat about this, though. Please don’t take a non-lethal option as an indicator that everything here is just a small scene of a much longer long-term story to be played. While I may be somewhat open to the option playing a second or third meeting after this scene (if she’s spared), the goal of this ad is mostly playing this single scene with a lot of detail and intensity. People planning to roleplay long-term stories will do things differently, and each scene will be played with less detail and intensity because time is a limited resource. I’m more of a “few scenes but played very deeply” kind of player, and this whole ad is actually designed to have a single situation designed with an enormous amount of power imbalance without the trouble of designing a long-term setting.

If you write me a PM, please include the title of the ad, your preferences and limits.
