[i]"The Sword and Shield to protect the masses."[/i][/center][/cell][cell][indent]A new force in the supernatural world that was hastily formed after the return of magic. The Department of Extra-Normal Security (The DENS), is an underground agency that aims to keep the magical world the same way. To this end, the DENS has eyes and ears on [i]everything[/i] looking out for the slightest sign of magical activity. Afterward, they determine if it's a threat or not or warrants their attention. The DENS understands that not all Extra-Normal beings are malicious, but they keep close tabs on any suspected or confirmed Extra-Normal Beings in the event that they do become a threat. 

The DENS originally went after all Extra-Normal Beings under the command of Richard Powell, but after his... untimely death and the rise of Director Dana Alcott, she has convinced the higher-ups that the Extra-Normals still have rights. It's a shaky relationship as more threats arise. The DENS technically is a branch of the Department of Homeland Security and they are clandestine operations. Which means everything they do [i]must[/i] go under the notice of the general public. The DENS answers to the Director and the Director answers to the Pentagon. The current Director is Dana Alcott, a former officer in the Navy that had her spine broken in a terrible accident and offered a second chance after being attacked by a monster.

[/indent][/cell][/row][/table][indent]The DENS is comprised, at the very least, of people who are One-Eye-Open and undergo training to combat the Extra-Normal. [i]Usually[/i] the DENS plucks out soldiers and other Law Enforcement officials, but they have a problem of being nearly comically undermanned and undertrained. The DENS has no choice but to take whoever comes their way that is at least somewhat qualified. The DENS has a handful of beings that are [i]actually[/i] Extra-Normal, but that number is rising because the best way to handle one Extra-Normal is another. The DENS is armed with an array of special equipment... a black swat armor that is [i]ideally[/i] resistant to most magical abilities (heat, shock, cold-resistant). As their standard issue rifle, they use a Colt M4 Carbine that can use 5.56 rounds or special taser rounds. Other than that, the DENS uses hand-me-downs from other agencies and obsolete equipment from the military.

However, in most of the DENS' field operations, they disguise themselves as Law Enforcement, or their favorite, the FBI. They appear, complete the mission, and vanish without a trace. However, a lot of the DENS' time and resources go towards suppressing information about the Extra-Normal. Any social media posts are deleted and the user is investigated, while any news reports about it are never aired. It's a shaky balance, as more and more people are beginning to catch on. It's only a matter of time until all hell breaks loose.[/indent][hr]

[i]"Mother longs for your embrace."[/i][/center][/cell][cell][indent]The Forgiven Movement is a new aged religious/charity movement that formed in late 2015. Formed by a man named Luther Saul and a few investors, the Forgiven aims to "uplift" humanity bit by bit. They claim that they worship the[i] true [/i]form of God, known as "Mother". Saul, through his charisma and leadership, managed to make the Forgiven a nationwide movement - and aim to go further beyond that. The Forgiven seeks to be a shelter for people who are homeless, drug addicts, abuse victims and aims to give them another chance. 

They are seen at corners in major cities (and smaller towns), giving out food and "care packages" to the homeless and inviting them to their parties. The same parties in which they shower these people with love and affection and offer them protection from the outside world. While giving them everything they want and more.[/indent][/cell][/row][/table][indent] Many people accuse the Forgiven of being a cult and they are correct. The Forgiven is a very secretive, yet dangerous cult-movement that brainwashes their masses through many different commonly known techniques such as instilling an "us vs them" mentality, love bombing, and persuading the lonely and desperate to join their cults. Many members of the Forgiven Movement are former drug addicts, runaways/homeless, and abuse victims who have been given a home but some of them are people who have just been persuaded into joining them. The Forgiven are very aggressive and predatory, but they are subtle in how they act. They don't want to draw too much attention from the outside world. Inside the cult many are given strict rules and behavior is [i]closely[/i] monitored and people aren't allowed to tell the outside world about their practices. 

The Forgiven have garnered national attention for their kind deeds and volunteering their members to assist after natural disasters (offering food and shelter to towards with destroyed homes). They accept donations from big businesses and anyone who is feeling charitable. However, inside of the Forgiven movement members are "charged" for being in the Forgiven under the guise of pooling their funds so they can help other people. Inside of the cult people worships their supreme being: Mother. Mother is God in her truest form and the one that ignited the light of life for humanity out of her bosom. They praise her in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening. However, only the top members of the Forgiven know the truth: Mother is an actual being that demands sacrifice. The top members of the Forgiven have been arranging for people to be sacrificed to this being since it's conception. They've been responsible for [i]hundreds[/i] of people disappearing without a trace, and in return, Mother protects them from harm, rewards them with shelter, and much, much, more. 

However, there is a sinister truth about the Forgiven...[/indent]

[i]"Kimberly Walton here with Project: Worlds Unknown."[/i][/center][/cell][cell][indent]Not quite an organization, Project: Worlds Unknown is a hit webshow on Youtube (and its own site, WorldsUnknown.[sup][sup][sup][sup][sup][sup][color=2e2c2c].[/color][/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup]com). Project: Worlds Known is hosted by a girl named Kimberly Walton who found her true calling in Ghost Hunting. The show started in late 2015 and since then has gained immense following given its riveting tales, amazing special effects (it almost looks [i]real[/i]), and charming host. Kimberly has dozens upon dozens of tales of her fighting phantasms, monsters, and other beings and has built up a captivating lore. 

Except its not fiction. Kimberly Walton actually [i]is[/i] fighting these monsters that shouldn't exist and presenting it as fiction. After the defeat of the Glutton, Kimberly dedicated herself to making sure that tragedy never happens again. She goes out battling whatever monster or Apparition she can find and records it on her show. 

She isn't alone, she's usually accompanied by her cameraman Rowan Campbell, an Awakened that she saved from certain death. With this show, Kimberly has become a force in the magical community all while making it all look and sound fake. Kimberly has dispatched dozens of dangerous Apparitions from the shadows, but those in the know are aware of her. 

And she might have planted a dangerous target on her back.[/indent][/cell][/row][/table][/hider]
