In our reality, there is that feeling, that sense that there is something just beyond the edge of your sight, watching you, lurking in the depths... Waiting. You can feel them there, on the edge of your consciousness, lurking beneath the streets you walk on. That unnerving sense that there is a world that you cannot see. Do not be deceived, that world is very real. And it is very, very angry. Our world is threatened by a world beyond our understanding, and as such the one organization we can turn to officially does not exist. Humanities last and only hope is their government's best kept secret, the B.P.R.D. The Bureau of Paranormal Research and Development. This organization houses some of the most unusual and most talented people upon our world, those who are responsible for responding when the night goes bump.
Our story begins at the dawn of time, or so it is said in children's stories that have been passed on. It is strange how often stories hold the root of truth, ironic really, but something we often overlook. It is said that at the dawn of time all magical beings lived under the father tree, be them elves, beasts, ogres, or anything of the like. While the magical beings were made with purpose and structure: Man was created with a hole in his heart. A hole that nothing can fill, a hole that leaves them greedy and unsatisfied. In their dreams to quench their greedy hearts, the kingdom of men came up with a new desire. A dire one. A desire to expand their dominion over every corner of the Earth.
Many lives were lost in the war with men. The blood of elves, ogres, and humans alike stained the Earth, but it was no secret to the world of magic that humans had outnumbered and outmatched them. As magical beings fell under the skies that had witnessed too many unneeded war, and innocent blood shed, King Balor watched in despair. In time, as the war held fast, King Balor was addressed by the master goblin blacksmith, who offered a freedom unknown to man. He offered to build a golden army, 70 by 70 leagues, that would be both indestructible and unstoppable. King Balor's oldest son, Prince Nuada, begged his father to take the deal, and it was done. The goblins forged a magical crown to command this army, if the holder remained unchallenged. “I am King Balor, and I will command this army. Is there no one here who disputes my right?” The King had asked. Left unchallenged, the king obtained control over this powerful golden army.
The world had been changed, as had the fates, and the next time the humans raised arms, they felt the earth quake, and saw the sky darken. The golden army crushed the leagues of men, feeling no remorse. No loyalty. No pain. Observing the men fall, in yet more needless war, King Balor called off the Golden Army. With his heart, heavy with regret, King Balor called a truce with the world of men. He split the crown into three pieces. One would be given to the humans. Two would be kept for the elves. In return for mercy, humans would have dominion over the earth, and the magical creatures would keep to the forests, until the end of time. Outraged by his fathers mercy towards a race that had forgotten the gods, and any sense of purpose, Prince Nuada went into self-imposed exile. Promising to return when his people needed him most. The army, on the other hand, was left underground. Still and silent and indestructible.
There has always been an unnerving sense that there was a world that was just beyond the edge of sight. Now mankind is being threatened by a world beyond humanities understanding. The world of demons, and humans last defense is the one organization that officially does not exist: their governments best kept secret, the B.P.R.D., also known as the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Development. This organization houses some of the most unusual and talented people, and are responsible for responding when the night goes bump.
The secret of non-human existence has been protected by the BPRD, and the mythological beings remain hidden from human eyes. The demons have launched a seemingly unnoticed biological war upon the humans through their blood bank known as AB Syndicate. In secret, they have kidnapped and abducted both human and mythological lab rats to first test their products on. While the Angels stationed with Opus Dei's underground organization work to counter the demons that entered the Earthly plains through Rasputin's portal many years ago.
Despite the angels valiant attempts to conquer the demons and convert them to normal humans once more, Ab Syndicate is prepared for them. With new weaponry research, and their supernatural abilities, there is no hope for Opus Dei to strike. Opus Dei has joined arms with the BPRD to put a stop to the corruption known as AB Syndicate.
However, the demons are not alone in their desire to destroy mankind. There is another force who shares the ambition. The force of Nuada Silverlance, who has returned to his people, from his exile, in their time of need. His ambitions to destroy mankind, and reclaim the earth for elves was momentarilly stalled by the actions taken against his people by AB Syndicate. Grudgingly joining arms with the BPRD to eliminate a common enemy, Nuada is planning to wipe-out mankind once the demons are defeated.
It's the year 2008, and the world is at war.
THE SOUND OF SILENCE.
