“Hello and welcome.” The smartly dressed German man addressed the recruits who sat around the long oak table in the modern boardroom. “My name is Alexander Biermann, I head the SND - the Supernatural Division of the Bureau.” He took a look around the room, then continued. “Contrary to what the name suggests, we typically solve cases that are too complex for other police agencies to handle.

“You will notice laptop computers in front of you along with a briefcase. Inside you will find a belt, a collection of five mobile phones - switched off - a watch and an assortment of other standard issue gadgets, courtesy of the engineering department here in the Bureau’s New York offices. I will allow Mr. Osamu to explain their function and other uses. For now, I'll ask for your attention to be directed to the screen.” A screen electronically lowered itself from the roof, behind him. “I'd like to begin the investigation as soon as possible.”


You have been invited to join The Bureau, a multinational police agency associated with no single nation, but with the United Nations as a whole. You have been singled out among your peers because of you skills, knowledge, maturity, special abilities or other such things. You may be a forensic analyst, a psychologist, a private detective, a soldier. Whatever the case may be, you've been singled out as useful to the Bureau and have been invited to join their ranks. Assuming you accept - you have been subject to an interview as well as a test and will begin on your first case shorty.

Sorry, I didn't see this. No, this is based in real world with all of its races and species.

@Midori Sounds like a plan.

Would that also exclude any (seemingly) supernatural influences in the character entirely?

@Sodium In what capacity? I just want human characters. There will be Supernatural stuff.

@AtlasRedfox There's no rush. Just remember to PM it to me when you're done.

@Melkor
I'm thinking combat-related body modification, either by magic or science.

This world doesn't really contain obtainable "magic". I'd be willing to see a cyborg though, with science that is.

I was hoping for a bit of supernatural beyond just a name and lampshading. Combined with rule 7, I'm out.

Sorry to see you go. Though I don't see the issue with rule 7.

@Everyone

Also, as I said - there will be supernatural things occurring within the RP - the idea is to be more like a team investigating a supernatural case, the supernatural part is the part that is suppose to make the case so confusing and difficult. It's not really suppose to be a fast paced action adventure type of RP.

So, you've already got a posting order. That slows a game down and provides the easiest way for a game to die: one person fails to post long enough that others lose interest. On top of that slowdown, you're having every single in-character post be verified by yourself before being posted. That essentially stifles the game, makes you an extra source of delay, and can lead to a lot of control issues.

I don't want any part of any of that.

@Sodium.... If your not keen on this style that's fine but I feel your being a little rude here... No need for that.

I am the GM, I can decide to ignor the posting order if we need to. On that note, I do not already have a posting order, I have slots for one. If you read the rules you would have noticed this earlier, rule 3 clearly states it. I have no intention of "verifying" each IC post to guage if it is a good post or if it forwards the story, that's up to the player. The purpose for sending it to me first is for any relevant dice roles or judgements on those roles.

If you don't like the idea then please stop posting in my OOC.
