There have always been unexplained mysteries. Unexplainable deaths and disappearances, sightings of inexplicable events...

As long as mankind has been around, there have been monsters in the shadow, under the bed, and in the other dark places. And for just as long these monsters have been relegated to the world of imagination and fear of the unknown.

But that never stopped the monsters. Throughout history, these mysterious cases kept happening, and for centuries law enforcement agencies would file these unsolvable mysteries away, never even coming close to solving them. And in time, everyone forgot about them, except a few, who would often be discarded as conspiracy theorists or crazy people.

But now, in the age of social media and cameras everywhere, it has become much harder to hide what's in the darkness. And those in charge had to finally accept the monsters exist. But letting everybody know would cause widespread panic and unrest.

And so, they developed the Secret Unit for Paranormal Event Resolution. A highly specialized task force drawn from special forces, police, and the science community. These specialists are extracted from their current life, given a new identity, and rehoused in the Unit's state of the art facility in North Mountain, West Virginia U.S.A.


Welcome to 'The Unit', a freeform game about a secret taskforce tasked with investigating and destroying supernatural threats, while keeping a veil of secrecy to protect the people.

The game will follow the concept of a monster of the week, along with longer, seasonal plots, and this being an ERP site, will contain a certain amount of sexual content both within the plot as well as between the player characters.

I'm looking for a variety of characters. Think a team like in NCIS or CSI with field agents, computer specialists, maybe a medical specialist (If you can think of something else we might need, please suggest it)

Just a few rules:

The characters are fully human, the supernatural is an unknown enemy after all.
Agents are between 22 and 40 years old and need to be physically fit to meet unit standards (Think FBI standards)
The unit is open to male, female, and NB agents.
Due to the nature of their new lives, Rules on Fraternisation have been lifted.
Agents will have a new identity and are banned from visiting aspects of their old lives.


Agents will live on the North Mountain compound where they each have their own sleeping quarters. The residential building has a small kitchen, a living/lounge area, and shared restroom/bath facilities. The compound also houses a Laboratory complex, with its own morgue and computer lab, as well as a forensics lab, and a library.
It has an inside gymnasium and swimming pool as well as an outside fitness track, firing range, and tactical training area.

I'll get out more info and a character sheet if I get some interest.
 
Interested in playing a female agent. Possibly futa (hermaphrodite, cock, pussy, no obvious balls)...

Is it possible to crossover existing canon characters from elsewhere?

I'd rather not have established canon characters from other shows. O.C.s would have my preference.


Sounds interesting. I assume you will be narrating the main storyline, set up the cases and the leads and so on.
Yes, basically, I'll be playing the assistant director, the person who handles your missions, deals with all the boring stuff like budget and political capital, and sometimes gets the team out of trouble with the locals or angered big players. I would provide cases, play most of the relevant NPC's (Though I might sometimes ask for a little help with those), and small details like that. But if a player has a plot idea then I'm more than willing to assist.
 
So.. Maybe this is the Base?

I am thinking playing some kind of middle aged (40+) female scientist-on-the-field, who has extensive knowledge in nature (the non-paranormal one) from geology to weather systems, including biology, herbs and animals, basically a Naturalist who realised that there IS supernatural, after all. She would be just starting to see and try to understand the paranormal, but could tell, what was just a natural occurence, and what could be something because "unnatural" causes. She would still try to put these things into context in the normal and scientific sense. (but she sounds more like an NPC... Not sure what she could do in action, but being the mostly unafraid damsel in distress...)

My other idea is a younger (age -35) 'believer' or more like a buddhist martial artist (because neither the buddhist philosophy or martial arts is a faith, but there are paranormal parts that is unaccessible for most people), who is on the verge (maybe edge) of touching the paranormal. I would be looking forward reaching levels of 'might and magic' occasionally while fighting to keep away the demons. - Would be following the tibetan tantric tradition with Tibetan White Crane martial art. (and while I have knowledge of this, I am not following them myself, so my character could be OC for the real thing from time to time). This character is kinda would resemble the Ancient One (MCU) and be an androgyn hermaphrodite in outlooks but obviously no magic (at least nothing like that).

Third idea is playing someone (age 25+) from special forces touched by a curse that turns (or already turned) him into a her. Depending on the level of supernatural in the world, it could be something akin to a paranormal virus affecting body (and thus mind too), or a god(ess) curse/blessing, maybe just some magical practicioner's last curse or because an artefact. (s)he would be trying to stay actively serving, but obviously the condition (could be slowly 'worsening') putting him out of the 'normal' special forces. But still not something that they could/should kick her out of service. So he just get reassigned to SUPER.

Hey B. You can count on me to send in a character. Just need to think on what to enter.
 
I'm working on a character as well. It is far from finished but I'm thinking an ex cop who got dragged into the agency through a missing persons case she was working that no one else seemed think was even a case but rather a series of unrelated disappearances but then she was contacted by an agent of S.U.P.E.R and recruited to the agency. 35ish, quite androgynous, bisexual and not afraid to get rough, or dirty, to get answers.

Just curious. How many players/characters would be involved in this?
I'm looking at a max of about 5-6, if it turns out we'd like to expand we can do this later but I'd like to start off with a tight group.
 
Is there any slots for one more to participate? It kinda reminds me of F.E.A.R. from the way the setting appears story wise and I'd like to give it a shot!

Please try to avoid characters with magical or supernatural abilities. The game really focuses on the struggle between normal powerless humans and the supernatural.
In universe: The government would yank anyone they suspect of supernatural powers and either neutralize them or stick them in a lab.
 
OoC
Character sheets

Please do not place character history in your sheet, but send em to me. That way we can keep it a surprise when these histories suddenly come up.
 
Between here and my PM box I now have 7 applicants, which I feel is the top for now, so I closed recruitment for now. I hope everyone follows through as it is shaping up to be an amazing team.
