  1. 10 Commandments
  2. Version 1.0 - 1.07
  3.  
  4. Creative 10 Commandments
  5.  
  6. 1. Assassin's Creed will always tell the story of the secret war between Assassins and Templars
  7.  
  8. 2. Being an assassin doesn't make the main character a ruthless killer. He kills, but he has principles and never murders innocents. He avoids collateral damage as much as possible
  9.  
  10. 3. The war between Assassins and Templars is the foundation of our Franchise story in the past and present.
  11.  
  12. 4. The Assassin should always be agile, socially skilled, unbeatable with a blade, and a stylish bad-ass.
  13.  
  14. 5. Pivotal moments in Human History are the basis of our Franchise. Asssassin's Creed will always take a revisionist approach on real events. We'll use historical gaps to create our story.
  15.  
  16. 6. History should always be portrayed as relevant to our core audience, with facts that tie in to present day common knowledge and edgy modern Art Direction
  17.  
  18. 7. Assassin's Creed is based on Technology - Nothing is Magical, Everything has a plausible technological explanation.
  19.  
  20. 8. Assassin's Creed is about digging in a character's past through their DNA in order to understand what really happened in key historical moments.
  21.  
  22. 9. Since the player relives the deeds of his kin through his DNA, the I.P. cannot be set in the future. DNA of unborn people does not exist.
  23.  
  24. 10. Assassin's Creed can bend Historical accuracy but cannot create an Uchronia.
  25.
