This RP has become active since this thread was posted but because of some cancellations we are still casting. The RP is in the early stages so it should not be difficult to write in new players.

An interest check for a role play that centers around a government black ops team in Los Angeles. There job is to subdue arcane based threats. Basically magic hunters. Each would have there own skill sets and the government has no qualms about using power where they can get it so witch/warlock/angel/werewolf etc would be acceptable characters. The main drama begins when they capture a possessed human whose demon has been sealed inside her soul giving her control over her body and for the most part some control over the demons power. They are ordered to add her to the team with security precautions of course.

Anybody interested? OOC

And if you need more information just ask.


Why not? I killed mine. I killed their friends... and their friend's children...
For a hundred years I offered ugly death to everyone I met, and I did it with a song in my heart.
- Angel about his past as a Vampire


In Los Angeles a child looks into the shadows of his closet or the park outside his window and he sees faces in the darkness and he calls for his mother who assures him that it is just his imagination but she does this for her own sake as much as his because she sees the faces too. With eyes red like blood and teeth sharp as razors they linger in the night waiting. Every demon and monster has it's own agenda but they all end the same way no matter how grand or small the scheme they all end with the blood of innocents on clawed hands.

People lie awake at night telling themselves that everything is normal and they believe it, in the City of Angels no one sees what lurks just out of sight and no one goes looking for fear of what they might find. People have seen, people do care but so many are too scared to reveal anything. That is what we are here for.

We are people who know the truth and aren't afraid to fight it. We are people who know the score and fight for the safety of this city. We were commissioned by the governments who took notice to combat the forces of darkness, control the spread of chaos. We are a team equipped to handle these situations. We have been granted the use next gen technologies and powers we can't hope to comprehend. We have enchanters and witches and angels and werewolves and even us regular humans. Whatever it takes to keep the darkness from tearing this city apart. We are the glue that binds Los Angeles together and we cannot fail.

Demons and monsters, anyone interested?

The only rule I have is to avoid creating a character based in the Heavenly element, no angels graced or otherwise, no Nephilim, no Prophets, and no Fallen Angels. Sorry but these kinds of characters tend to weight on the powerful side very early on and there existence would shift the focus of the RP so I apologize and hope that you are still interested.

Tentative interest... i'm a little fussy on the black ops team... Are they essentially a specialized swat team? I suppose they'll to other things such a surveillance and the like?

It isn't a glorified SWAT team, a SWAT team is tasked with one part if an operation while this team in essence this team controls and regulates the whole mission.

This I think is the best way to explain it. The team (who I'll come up with a name for) is a cross between the FBI's white collar crime division from the show White Collar and the Men of Letters from Supernatural. I can elaborate more but I would suggest you watch an episode or two of those shows to get a better understanding.

Alright with Six interested parties I think it's about time to kick start this thing. Until the IC gets going I think we should keep discussions in here unless there CS or about CS.

Here it is: OOC

So how far are we allowed to go with our characters? What are our limits? Oh I know the basics of course, no OP characters, etc. But I want to know what level of expertise a character can have. The idea I have for a character is an oddity so I'm curious.

The idea for the RP makes it very free roam. Depending on how long they've worked with the agency and what their qualifications are there is a very broad range for power levels. That being said I can always invent demons with more power. I think the best you can do is PM me your idea and I'll make a judgment on it.

One more thing, D.I.S (I got to come up with a better name, suggestions welcome) is based out of a prestigious L.A. University. This grants them access to bright young mind for recruitment. Not everyone is recruited from college of course. Each member if the D.I.S has an undercover role at the University. It could be teacher, student, researcher etc. When dealing with branches of Law Enforcement they are granted the authority of a private branch of the Secret Service.

I'm interested in this if you would allow me. Also I was wondering if you would allow a vampire onto the team?

As I said the agency takes power were it can get it. Just remember that unless the vampire has been on the team awhile he will not be trusted. This follows the Buffy the Vampire Slayer style vampires, burns in the sun, stake to the heart turns him to dust, crosses are corrosive to the touch, enhanced speed and strength, must drink blood to maintain strength, human is most effective acting rather like caffeine but other animal blood will do.

Not like superhero speed and strength, just enhanced reflexes, reaction times, more endurance. Basically someone who is in top physical condition, also has retractable fangs for feeding but can just drink blood out of a cup or IV bag.

Fast and fluid would really depend on who he was before being sired. Being a vampire grants certain abilities but others are based on who you were beforehand.

So I've got a character who is the prince of hell (son of satan himself). But he is rebellious and fights for the good (and wants to kill his father) Could I use this fine gentleman in this rp?

I honestly mean no offense when I say this but DUDE SCALE IT DOWN. The son of Satan would be considered a major player, that would be like asking to play a Knight of Hell. While the agency is okay with taking power where they can, mages, werewolves, vampires etc. there is no way in the seven circles of hell that they would allow THE SON OF SATAN on their team. Besides we've already got a minor demon turncoat and even that is a big deal.

Guys, just because you can play supernatural creatures doesn't mean that there would be no humans on the team. Humans with powers are fine but they should be a majority. And someone's going to need to come up with a commander for the team.

Really sorry if that sounded harsh it was just sort of my gut reaction.

And yes vampires don't age.
