Southport City, bustling port, great shopping, beautiful beaches, and the hot spot for paranormal culture in the country. The city grew from humble roots as a small, but important trading port on the coast and grew from there. Over the hundred years since its status as a city it has grown from a humble 100 residents to over a million, absorbing nearby cities into it, causing them to become districts. The city is bordered by a forest on all sides, save for its coast and while the weather is generally overcast it is mostly consistent in this way.

However with big cities come big city problems both of the normal and paranormal variety. Paranormal creatures have been disappearing and later found dead, their bodies in less than pristine condition. Crime is at an all time high and a new security firm, Red Hawk, has moved into town, military grade weaponry at thier disposal. The timing seems suspicious, but is Red Hawk behind the attacks or are they being framed.

Regardless something is afoot and you as agents of the Paranormal Law Enforcement Organization (Paleo) have been assigned to get to the bottom of the matter. You may be a transfer to the Southport District or veteran. (Those interested in being antagonists PM me and we can discuss details.) Any race is open for play, but for more obscure races please contact me so that we may discuss it.

Paleo is a well equipped and organized group, equivalent to the Paranormal FBI. They have several human agents placed in various law enforcement agencies who have been handpicked to serve as contacts. Other humans remain delightfully oblivious of Paleo. The agents are organized into squads that work together, and any one district would have 2-3 teams. They are highly qualified, but rather than being trained they are chosen from the ranks of their respective races for their talents and skills. Each brings something to unique to the team, but all of them are capable warriors that could give Spec Ops a run for their money and then some.

Paranormal Culture:
Southport has a diverse paranormal culture. Nearly any species of mystical or legendary creature can be found living amongst the humans, but few humans can actually see beyond the veil.

Vampires, witches, dragons, and all other sorts live within the urban environment, while fey and weres of all sorts tend to make their home amongst the forest. This mystic melting pot has resulted in a largely open paranormal culture overall, but some purists among them tend to believe that what is being done here is wholly unnatural.

Human Culture: Humans are the dominant species in Southport City on a roughly 3:1 ratio and consists of many races and many countires are represented. There are many districts, with the main being:
The Warehouse District
The Business District
The Airport District
The Hotel District
The Shopping District
"The Mystic District"
China Town
Little Italy
German Town
to name a few.

(Map pending)

There are things to do at any hour, rivaling New York in how restless it can, with rent prices to match. The city also hosts the HQ for many corporations thanks to the many tax breaks that are offered and a few professional sports team. The city also has an indian casino on its border, a draw for many of the visitors who come to Southport.

Other Info:
Vampires are not killed by the sun as much as they are very very uncomfortable when not covered up. That is a rumor to keep the pesky humans away. A stake to the heart or cutting their head off will kill them, but who wouldn't that kill.

Elves and Dwarves are long lived races, living on average for 1500 years before perishing, but most of the older of the races do not live within the city, preferring the old ways. The average age for them in Southport is around 300-400.

Fairies and other fey are of average human sized and appear fairly humanoid, but may wish to take measures to not be identified as paranormal.

Any other concerns ask and I will provide explanation.



Rules:
1. No Godmodding is obvious, but I will define it so it is clear: Aside from mooks there is no one hit killing. This includes other player without their permission.

2. Keep things realistic please. Yes you will have powers, but keep combat believable. When in doubt ask. I won't judge you, promise.

3. A moderate rate of posting (2-3 posts/week) is appreciated but if life gets in the way or you lose interest, tell me so I can write you out of the plot for the time being or permanently as the case may be for you.

4. Keep post sizes reasonable please (2-3 good paragraphs) at minimum. Some prefer to write more and that is fine, but give others something to work with as well. I will love you for it.

5. We are all adults here (over 18) and this site does have mature content roleplays, but unless pertinent to the RP itself I ask you take it to PMs for the sake of not derailing the plot. Make mention of it in your post if you like however you please.

As soon as I get 3-4 interests I will post the template. In the case of excessive interest I will approve them based on how well they fit and how well they are written, not a first come, first serve basis.
