Life was normal on Earth up until the Convergence. Three years ago, a gateway between Earth and the Beyond opened over the city of New York. In one terrible night, New York was destroyed and rebuilt, trapping New Yorkers and extradimentional creatures alike in an impenetrable bubble. This event is what caused an awakening of super natural events unlike any seen before. People started to gain psychic powers allowing them to do numerous things such as controlling elements, conjure a personal magical weapon, or even make constructs of hard light made by their own minds among other powers. Some were more esoteric than others. Some simply gained more speed, and strength allowing them to perform super human feats. However not all the populace has such abilities. Militaries around the world quickly formed a task force called Force Grey to combat the less than friendly creatures. This extradimentional event also triggered the appearance of what could only be called demons. With demons appearing and preying on the young and innocent Force Grey was split even further eventually they began to focus more on bigger threats leaving smaller ones to be dealt with by the standard military, or even the police. In an attempt to eliminate, and destroy both hostile extras, and the demons a splinter group broke off of Force Grey becoming the international Vigilante Group called The White Rose Syndicate. Built up and backed mostly by the church they are neither recognized by the police or the world at large.
Now, New York has been rechristened Hellsalem's Lot, a paranormal melting pot where magic and madness dwell alongside the mundane, where every form of human vermin gathers to exploit otherwordly assets for earthly profit. Now someone is threatening to breach the bubble and release Hellsalem's Lot's horrors, but the mysterious superagents of The White Roses fight to prevent the unthinkable.
The Rose's members operate both inside and outside the city and are typically blood-technique users or some description of super-human. The full scope of the organisation is unknown and, due to its secretive nature, precise information regarding the organisation is said to be worth billions to the criminal underworld. Law-enforcement agencies within Hellsalem's Lot also appear to be after Libra, probably due to their vigilante activities. However, the police have been shown to co-operate with Libra in severe circumstances to achieve a common goal.
With the branch of Libra operating in the Hellsalem's Lot lacking in new members due to transfers being needed across the hot spots in other areas new, and older members are reinstated in order to help combat the everyday evil King, and Queen of Depravity.

Terms:
Force Grey: International Police, and Military Operators determined to bring down any hostile monsters who threaten the general world order. Seperated into individual task forces led by General Toshi Nakamura, and other special names include Commander Ferdinand Bradley, Carl Winser, and Arnulf Ivanov.
White Rose Syndicate: A privately backed, and church funded militia group who acts as vigilantes fighting against demons on a less scrupulous, and military styled manner. Loosely led overall by Paladin of the Catholic Church Ermilo Manieri, and the head of the New York office is Jack Brown who overall serves as the operator.
Paladins: Church agents who've officially combated, and survived major catastrophes around the world recognized for their skill, and ability to fight.
Elementer: People who have gained the abilities due to the rift that allows them to control one, or more elements. Though it is generally seen that people can only control one element some have gained power over two but are known to be considerably less powerful than ones who wield one.
Newtype: People who gained abilities due to the rift's disturbance who have gained some sort of physical super power be it strength, speed, or other style.
The Possessed: Humans who have given into, or been forcibly possessed by a demon.
Black Born: Humans who have overcome their possession and are able to with the help of, or inspite the demon controlling them. They able to conjure a spiritual weapon and fight like some newtypes but have usually shown to have issues keeping up with them. All are non-Elementers, and Newtypes. These people are also exceedingly rare. Usually are required to on and off channel their energy out of their body less they mutate, or lose control to the demon inside.
Silverite: A sort of silver styled metal that is found after the convergence event around the world. It is exceedingly hard to mine, and process into weapons.
Extras: Creatures from the otherside humanoid or otherwise that possess, and are sometimes friendly, others not so much. They take on many forms from cat girls, to lizardmen, to people with tentacles as well as other animal styled traits. Some are known to eat humans though delegations from both sides have made it illegal.
Agent: Standard humans are still able to fight by using weapons enchanted by a rare metal called Silverite which originates from the other side. Some have found success by using weapons formally blessed by a church priest who is truly devoted.
Espers: Esper type fighters are shown to use more mental, and telekinetic styled abilities they mostly gained their abilities to their brain chemistry being altered by the disturbance. Some have been shown to have less esoteric styled abilities such as the ability to form barriers.

In terms of setting we will be playing members of the White Rose Syndicate as I'm not sure how well a forced military style roleplay would work out. We can either start as new agents, or civilians that get recruited. Power scaling is rather simple. Most of us will be at most be able to destroy a big city block at full power. This is for the sake of keeping things rather controllable as I'm honestly not to great when it comes to fights, I will ask for some help with that if need be if someone wants to volunteer for co-gm I'd appreciate it.
With the above being said the power scale's actual upper limit is large city level (as in wiping out the entire city in one blast) but those are the top tier, and while there are monsters that get there we won't be running into that many in Hell Salem which is were we will be playing.
If there are any questions you may feel free to ask them. Fore warning the posts won't likely be everyday events but if posters go a week without notice they will be removed from the roleplay.
