International Exorcism Solutions
est. 1972

Foreword
This roleplay will follow a guild of demon hunters in a modern fantasy setting. In this universe's alternate timeline, an extra-planar humanoid species henceforth known simply as demons have nearly integrated with humans on Earth. Nearly. There are dangerous and powerful demons that still stalk the shadows, wanting nothing more than to overtake mankind as the dominant species on the planet. This is where demon hunting guilds enter the picture. In this roleplay, you will play as a modern demon hunter of the Vexpara exorcist guild.

Genre/Theme: Modern fantasy, alternate timeline, demonica, witchcraft
Type: Character group-centric, plot-driven, combat elements
Level: Moderate to detailed
Commitment: A few times per week maximum
Character expectations: Avoid unrealistic, uninteresting, and inherently overpowered characters
Player expectations: Mature, flexible, reliable, and open to communication
Storytelling: Semi-linear. Plot in mind, but characters have agency
Group size: Open

The following subsection is a little blurb from the lore to give people an idea what this roleplay is about.

  • The Practice of Hunters
    The profession of the demon hunter has existed for well over 1,500 years, and has evolved into a subculture without borders. The work of hunters has changed very little since the first guilds of Byzantium formed after the Crossing of Justinian, where the first wave of demons descended upon Earth. The goal of hunters has remained simple: to protect mankind from demonkind through any means necessary -- including the use of the unpredictable infernal magic of demons. In places where integration rates are high, even demons are known to become demon hunters.

    Below is a list of hunter archetypes that have existed and persisted through history.

    Crane:
    Observers, scouts, and marksmen. Crane hunters prefer to keep the safety of distance between themselves and demons. Most of the magic in their arsenal focuses on deception and target tracking, which are spells nearly untraceable to the demons they stalk. Since the production of truesilver in quantities large enough to make expendable ammunition is still a feat for modern engineers, and even more so for historical quartermasters, Crane hunters have always been renowned for their exceptional accuracy and patience.

    Augur:
    Infernal exorcists and scholars of demonic lore. Augur hunters cast powerful anti-demon magics, or twist dangerous demonic energy to their bidding. Not all humans can stomach the warped power of demon energy, and even fewer can master it. This makes them a rare but powerful boon to fellow hunters when utilized properly. Because of the volatile and unpredictable nature of demon magic, guildmates of Augur hunters often carry powerful sedatives to quell sudden and uncontrollable outbursts of foul energy.

    Blooden:
    Warrior-hunters who specialize in pitched combat with demons. Blooden are the most common among hunter guilds, forming the backbone of most anti-demon organizations. They often endure extensive physical and mental training, allowing them to, in theory, a myriad of different demon types. Some Blooden elect to train and hunt specific kinds of demons, and thus become specialists called upon when a particularly stubborn demon needs to be hunted.

    Ouro:
    Abyssian apothecaries and stalwart adjutants to other hunters. An Ouro's trade is the application of rare healing magics, as well as the study of demonic behaviors and patterns. While not particularly potent in combat, Ouro hunters fill crucial supportive roles when a guild is on the hunt. Their abilities to weave wounds shut and protect fellow hunters from harm make them invaluable to the longevity of a guild. Unfortunately, the many years of strenuous study required to be an effective Ouro leave their numbers much to be desired. A guild is often lucky to have more than one Ouro.

Hi hi!

I am very much interested in this RP, and would like to be posted. I see that you have a discord group.

I tried joining from the link you provided but it seems that every time I try to join, it tells me the page does not exist.

So I was wondering if you could add me to the page, my discord name is sprouhtt#3614
