The Mad Queen
Memento Mori. Unus Anus
Welcome to the Albert Branch, a top secret part of MI5 with a very simple purpose: To be a peacekeeping force between the human world and the other beings that share our planet, those considered unearthly and/or supernatural creatures. It follows three simple goals, ranked in order of importance:
1. Protection: To defend the the world (and primarily) Britain from supernatural and unearthly threats both external and internal.
2. Preparation: To prepare the world (and primarily) Britain for coming supernatural and unearthly threats both external and internal.
3. Location: To keep a record of all supernatural and unearthly creatures, ensure they become upstanding members of British society and if necessary, re-locate them elsewhere.
Follow these steps and you'll do just fine, and remember employment in the Albert Branch is life plus ten years. Should you be killed on a mission or die of natural causes (lucky bastard) your zombified corpse (or what remains of it) will probably be used for testing or in records.
Batting supernatural horrors is one thing, but your other enemy will be bureaucracy as our rather under-equipped and under-funded department battles government cutbacks and austerity. Based on my experiences I'd rather face an actual Vampire than one of those money-grubbing, bloodsucking parasites and I'm sure you'll feel the same, eventually.

So for some actual OOC details, you'll be working from the first headquarters of the Albert Branch in Northern Ireland, a small yet chaotic county with a long history of supernatural and unearthly activity. Your characters, whether they be trained agents or people drafted after seeing too much will be tasked with enforcing PPL.
Examples of PPL:
1. Going on missions to track down and capture/kill rogue supernatural/unearthly threats, preventing the public from knowing about them ect.
2.
3. Keeping a record of all registered creatures, ensuring they find their place in society, making sure they don't do anything to expose themselves or sending them somewhere else (back to their own dimension or to another country).
Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies, Fey, Merpeople, Devils, extra-dimensional beings we can't even begin to comprehend, ect. They all exist in one manner or another. Some of them can be negotiated with (see Preparation or Location) but overall the first P comes first as you will be expected to put the protection of the United Kingdom before your own mortality.
Just to make things easier to manage, and given the nature of the RP (battling these threats as well as bureaucracy) I will be putting a cap on how many players can join, however you will be able to sign up as more than one character and even play as a registered supernatural/unearthly being. I will add details about them via the lore page as well as which ones can be played or not.
