The gist of it:
ParaCom: Adversary Uncertain takes place in the near future, in which the paranormal forces invade and assault our realm. As a result of the attack, the UN formed the first and last line of defense against the aggressors. ParaCom was organized, standing for Paranormal Combat and acting as a shield for every site where enemy activity takes place. The game puts the players as members of the elite multinational paramilitary organization and tasked with defending mankind. Advanced technology will be developed to help defend against the threat and even some enemy abilities and weapons will be reverse engineered to be used against them.
The GM sends the troops to the field in a series of tactical missions; between missions, the GM directs the research and development of new technologies from recovered paranormal technology and captured prisoners, expands the base of operations, manages the finances, and monitors and responds to alien activity. The majority of operations will take place across the world, with semi-random picking of the countries. Once interest is gathered, I will make a character area and an OOC for it.
How it all started:
December 31st, Year 2020 was the start of the war between the normal and the paranormal. Just as the western world was celebrating the eve of the new year, they attacked. During Times Square's annual ball drop and while shouts of “Happy New Year” echoed the area, the attacks commenced! The civilians of New York City were absolutely in shock and awe, due to the holiday letting the guard down. Unbeknownst to the supernatural forces, humanity would retaliate after a reeling assault. The armed forces across the world defended their nations from the attacks happening across the globe. However, despite dealing some damage to the enemy forces, they kept coming. Not even nuclear weapons stopped the otherworldly enemies in their tracks.
After grueling defeats in the name of species preservation, the UN realized that alone the nations cannot stop the threat. On August 1st, 2021, humanity formed a new line of defense. The elite, multinational, paramilitary team known as ParaCom was formed to act as the specialized line of defense against this threat. Thanks to heavy investments from the UN and all monetary sources, ParaCom has access to the top notch technology, science, engineers, and soldiers. The fate of mankind rests in their hands.
TLDR version = XCOM: Enemy Unknown but with paranormal supernatural elements instead of aliens.
Also, when it comes to the boring parts, I will take responsibility. Keep in mind that I recycle and adapt from the game. Last, but certainly not least, if there are any questions, I will be more than just happy to answer them.
