The Veil is a secret organization of monster hunters headquartered in Rome. Their network extends all across Europe, North Africa, and even parts of Western Asia, from the coasts of Spain all the way to the far reaches of the Ottoman Empire and beyond. For centuries they have protected the world from all kinds of dangers that lurk in the shadows: vampires, werewolves, goblins, ghouls, demons, devourers, strigas, cemetaurs, and so on and so on. Chances are, if you’ve heard or read about any kind of mean ugly monster in a bedtime story, they’re real. You just don’t know about it, because our homies @ Veil HQ are out here makin shit happen.

Being a member of The Veil requires years of training - where, sadly, not everyone survives - as well as enormous amounts of sacrifice. It is an extremely dangerous way of life filled with plenty of pain and sorrow and, of course, death. Don't worry though, there will be plenty of happy moments squeezed in between. Still - in this organization, only a slim few are lucky enough to survive into old age. Recruits typically join as children, though some join during their adolescent years. Some, also, are born into it. In those instances, The Veil has been the only thing they've ever known.

There are three very important rules to The Veil. Breaking these rules means punishment, and punishment means, well, death. They are as follows:

One. Never abandon The Veil. Once you join, you join for life. You must relinquish any ties to your old life, including any and all connections with your friends and family. This is to ensure their safety, as well as preventing sensitive information regarding The Veil or the supernatural in general leaking out into the everyday world.

Two. Never reveal The Veil’s secrets. No you can’t go around town telling people vampires exist. First of all no one is gonna believe you, and second of all doing so would be considered a major breach in Veil security. The Elders will make sure to shut that shit down immediately.

Three. Never kill on neutral grounds. This is a huuuge no-no. The Elders consider neutral grounds to be very sacred. Anyone that's ever broken this rule has always been executed on the spot.

Very rarely does anyone break the rules. It happens once every twenty or thirty years.

𝑬𝑼𝑹𝑶𝑷𝑬 - 𝟏𝟑𝟓𝟑
After many long years the Plague is beginning to finally wind down. Because the members of The Veil are mortal beings, however, a lot of them ended up catching the disease and dying from it #rip. Due to this, The Veil's ability to eliminate supernatural threats across Europe has steeply declined over the past decade. As a result, a whoooole lotta supernatural's have been running amok doing all sorts of crazy ass shit. Not to mention the deaths of just about two-hundred-million souls brought about a sudden, rather massive spike in the supernatural population. More specifically, the vampire population.

To deal with the problem, The Elders have begrudgingly passed a new rule stating that "friendly" members of the supernatural community may work with members of The Veil in order to keep things under control. Note - they never said they could join, they just said they could help. Key word to remember there.

All in all, many of The Veil's hunters haven't responded well to this. Who can blame them really, when after spending their whole lives being taught to hate and kill their enemies, they are now being told to work alongside them? While there are some who understand allying with other supernaturals is a worthwhile cause, there are still plenty of others that strongly believe the opposite. So far, the subject alone has been the cause of many heated arguments. But nothing more.

At least, not yet.

Not really since I don't play video games. The title is randomly made up lol

 

[RandomBlobMan]

Nice, it just had some weirdly high similarity on some parts of the concept

Interesting. I'll have to look into it. I just always liked historical settings and supernatural rps so I figured I'd mesh the two together!

I'll throw my hat into this ring. Does remind me of Hunter: The Vigil from White Wolf's Chronicles of Darkness.

I am not familiar with Hunter either. Is it a book series?

It's a role-playing game by White Wolf in their World of Darkness setting, alongside games like Vampire: The Requiem and Werewolf: The Forsaken. (If you, like me, are a bit older, you're probably more familiar with the original versions of the settings: Hunter the Reckoning, Vampire the Masquerade and Werewolf The Apocalypse.)

Hunter is about basically normal humans taking on the other paranormal threats from the rest of the World of Darkness.

I apologise for not answering earlier but what Humble said is 100 % on the market.

Yes you do.

 

[undeadrat]

I'm assuming realistic face claims judging by the youtube stuff? If it is I'll just wish you luck for your roleplay, haha.
