THE BPRD
The Bureau for Paranormal Research and defense was founded in late 1944 by Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, with the original purpose of countering the Nazi forces. The current director is none other than Dr. Thomas Manning, though there is a new agent to serve as a supervisor on board by the name of Johann Krauss. The B.P.R.D. keeps its location a top secret, as until the auction house incident, they officially did not exist to the outside world. It is located in Trenton, New Jersey. The agents who work here are a combination between humans and non humans, all possessing special abilities, they are responsible for defending man kind, and are in fact the governments best kept secret. There objective will always be to uphold the safety of man. They sometimes ally themselves with the Opus Dei. { BPRD POWER EXPLANATION: The B.P.R.D. can be thought of as, for the most part, a normal agency. Some agents do not possess powers, while others do. To establish what sort of powers your character has, please see the races below, unless you are a Canon. }[/color]
OPUS DEI
Opus Dei is a well kept secret in the world of humans, though their existence is know: most humans believe Opus Dei to be an important group of Christians. In our universe, Opus Dei is composed of angels whom passed through the rift during Rasputin's reign. Their goal is to help humans battle the legions of demons who have entered Earth, and protect them from the harm that the demons secret organization AB Syndicate is trying to deliver. They also experiment with human blood, but in a far different way than AB Syndicate. While AB Syndicate focuses on destruction, Opus Dei seeks defensive measures to protect humans from biological warfare. They have two locations as well. Mimicking their enemy, they have a station in the USA led by Raphael, and a second location in Europe that is led by Michael & Gabriel. Working alongside the Opus Dei are the Children of Light, a group of angels who serve as agents for this organization. Their missions include seeking out straying angels and assisting them back to their cause, and protecting humans from the forces of Syndicate. They often seek the help of their allies at the BPRD. { ANGEL POWER EXPLANATION: Angels, have heightened senses,the natural ability to heal rapidly, strong protective abilities such as healing their allies, and immunity to human weapons. They are weak to darkness, and offensive supernatural abilities will not be granted to this class. }[/color]
AB SYNDICATE
AB Syndicate is a corrupt organization composed of straying angels, demons, and undead whom disguise themselves as humans. They are working together to bring about the destruction of the earth, working as a secret agency for the SKULL & CROSSBONES. They work through a 'blood donation' company known as AB Syndicate, and use the blood they gather for genetic tests, seeking to create destruction. Working as a regular corporation is just a cover to earn the money to fund their cause. They are in a behind-the-scenes war with Opus Dei, and they frequently destroy human life. They have two locations. In Europe AB SYNDICATE is led by Erzebet Bathory, while in the USA AB Syndicate is led by Dracula. Working alongside the two leaders are the Sons of Darkness, a group of demons who serve as agents for this organization. Some of their missions include genetically altering human blood and observing the test subject, before ending their life. They also destroy those who betray the company, such as angels who turn good again. The AB Syndicate are allied with Rasputin, and NEW EDEN. { DEMON POWER EXPLANATION: Demons have heightened senses, the natural ability to heal rapidly, immunity to darkness, and immunity to human weapons. They are weak to lightness, and offensive supernatural abilities will be granted to this class. After all, demons are creatures of destruction, are they not? }

BETHMOORA CLAN
The elves are faced with great conflict. While they wish to honor their promise to man, to keep to the forests, an agreement that was established at the dawn of time, they are slowly realizing the forests are fading quickly. Having been driven underground with the rest of the Mythical Realm, many of the elves are simply counting the days until they are no more, fearing the end of their world has finally arrived. While most elves long for change, honor is an important aspect, and they do not wish to lose theirs. Prince Nuada, the current leader of the Elves, on the other hand, will not stand idly by. He is planning rebellion to reclaim their birthright,and the land that is rightfully theirs. Some elves oppose him, as do magical creatures, but some remain highly faithful and offer complete and total support. They are allied with the mythical realm. { ELVES POWER EXPLANATION: Elves are leaders among the mythical people, and are greatly in tune with their environment. They often have the ability to influence elements on a high level. They are naturally immune to elemental wear or damage, and can use the elements to their benefit. Such as summoning wind, or rain. While immune to fire, it cannot be called forth. They are skilled in combat, but are weak to human weapons. Only Earth & Water Based Supernatural abilities will be allowed. }[/color]
MYTHICAL REALM
While the world of man is protected by a government force unknown to them, the world of magic has been left vulnerable for far too long, which is why it is in its current state. Being driven into hiding by the humans, the magical races have long been forgotten by anything above the ground. With their world dying, many of these creatures feel the need for a revolution. While the majority turn to Prince Nuada as a war hero, and a possible redeemer of sorts, others fear his drastic measure and wish to oppose him, to uphold the truce with the human world. Giants, ogres, and trolls alike have stepped up and formed their own resistance preparing to rise against man, in hopes of co-existing with them in the open. While Prince Nuada of the Bethmoora Clan seeks to destroy humans, some mythics raise their arms to support him, while others try to mediate with the humans. They are allied with the Bethmoora Clan. { MYTHICALS POWER EXPLANATION: The mythical abilities vary from creature to creature. Some creatures have natural abilities, such as a gorgons stare, or a werewolf's curse. We will grant traditional supernatural abilities to mythical creatures, depending on their race, but please bear in mind, in order to keep some form of balance we'd appreciate it if you play a human at some point as well. }
HALF ELVES:
Half elves, the result of a union between elf and human, have the luxury of being able to inhabit either side of the divide. While elves and man do not usually get along, there are always those partial to forbidden relationships. Half elves can reside in either the human world, or the elven world, so it is hard to say which alignment they take. Some may side with humans, others with the elves, and some may even remain neutral due to not knowing their true nature. They face prejudices, particularly from the elven side, as the majority of elves do not encourage mating with outside species. In a world that is fading, half elves serve as a reminder to the fae, that their time is coming to an end.{ HALF ELF POWER EXPLANATION: Half-Elves sometimes experience heightened empathy, and are in tune with their environment. They can influence the elements on small levels, such as creating humidity changes, small breezes, or restoring life to wilting plants. Supernatural abilities past small earthly channellings will not be granted. }[/color]
CIVILIANS:
Civilians are people who try to live their lives normally, without worrying about the apocalypse or wars. Generally these people are those who wish to remain neutral when it comes to taking sides in world events.{ HUMAN POWER EXPLANATION: Humans are no longer granted supernatural powers. Humans can only have power for a short-term if they are possessed by something otherworldly, or have made a deal with the devil so to speak. They cannot keep these powers for long durations. If you desire a character with special abilities, please choose another race. For the sake of balance though, if you play a mythical, please consider playing a human as well. Humans on the other hand, are the best with technology and science. }[/color]
