"...While the rest of mankind dwells in that which is known, we must stand as the bulwark against the unknown. It is our duty to understand it, contain it, and shield it from the eyes of the public, so that others may live in a sane and normal world"
- Motto of the Department of Abnormal Affairs
Officially established by the United Nations in '55, the Department of Abnormal Affairs is a clandestine organization established with the purpose of containing and assessing the potential threat of paranormal and extraordinary threats. Delegates of the United Nations assembled in secret to compare notes concerning disturbing abnormal events that had been occurring within the nations of the UN. Some of reports were straight from the settling battlefields of the Second World War, others were historical accounts considered hundreds of years old. Some of the accounts couldn't be verified given their age. Others however could potentially be verified now if someone knew what they were looking for.
Thus, the Department of Abnormal Affairs was born. What started off as a laughably small department within the United Nations to verify potential incidences of the paranormal and there validity soon became a massive and well funded entity within the UN. An organization that had developed in the shadows to study the shadows, understand the shadows, and protect humankind from those shadows using any means necessary. An organization that is comprised of many of the finest scientists, investigators, and soldiers the world has known that are all tasked with studying and understanding the unknown and when necessary protect mankind from that which is unknown. For these men and women, the end of the world is another day on the job. They aren't fighting the War on Terror, this is the War on Horror....
As you are likely figuring out, our story will involve playing as agents of Abnormal Affairs. I wish to start the RP off by introducing a newcomer to the department; a soldier, law enforcement officer who witnessed an abnormal event and demonstrated that they can maintain a level head in the face of something truly horrific and is being offered the job as a member of the department. Perhaps this is even a sentient abnormality as well. From there, we'd jump ahead to after they've survived training and joined one of the departments teams and perhaps take on multiple roles now that include individuals like scientists, soldiers, and investigators as they are thrust into a case that shows that there is indeed a real threat against the Department....for there are indeed others out there that would align themselves with the horrors that come from the dark to gain something rather then stand against it and study it.
