However, no one can deny that with the common use of search engines, dissatisfaction with the world and even just general stupidity...
Magic was becoming alarmingly common in Gotham City.
Commissioner Gordon listened to everyone's suggestions and even nodded at some but it was clear to the man that his current departments were either too specialised in certain fields or just too unlikely to be unable to step up to the plate for this particular job. To be the forerunners of a new department that would spearhead the rising arcane and troubles it brought.
The Zataras and, hell, even Jason Blood were never dependable on a strict timetable.
No, the Gotham City police Department would have to clear space for a new asset. A group of working police officers that could halt the beings draining people of blood, the ghosts that caused the endless destruction of property and push the deal making Fae back to a corner.
This was where you came in.
You were the new chosen captain to lead this force.
You were hand picked out the bunch because you had skills that no other officer quite had.
You were.
[]Marcus White
A middle-aged officer who keep quiet about his powers. He tried to do good where he could and the best when he could not. Raised in the roughest areas, Marcus knows the trouble the hardier folk had to deal with.
A woman that had been around the block. Samatha worked the dirty business of the legal side of the law. She booked crooks, got the finger prints and pulled their files for updating.
She also has a handy talent for setting old paper on fire and enchanting her cup to never go cold.
A young officer who had hastily signed up for this. His scatterbrain mind made Gordon dubious but Deacon knew plenty of small time cantrips to convince the man. he was kinda likeable.

People gossiped...This new captain had something odd about them...it was hard to put a finger on it until it clicked,
[]The scar that ran down their throat. It spoke of experience.
+2 to combat
[]The extremely friendly aura. The captain just made people like them. Somehow.
+2 to diplomacy.
[]A slight charge to their words. It was likeable but it was power.
+2 with magic rolls
[]Their eyes. it had seen some shit.
+2 to rolls when dealing with non-humans

Gordon had given you the privilege to name your department. He suggested picking a good one since it was unchangeable.
[] Magical Investigations Department. M.I.D
[] Arcane Investigations Department. A.I.D
[] Occult Defence Department. O.D.D
[] Bureau of Occult. B.O.O
[]Write in.

Gordon managed to scrap some funding together to get you started.
Money: * * *
Spending things for your department will cost so many "money points". My money skills are bad, so this is mostly to help me. We can upgrade to actual numbers if I get the hang of it later.

So...who are you and what is your department?

Really want to be that MIB kind of policeman that on the whole "Foolish mortal, I'm the bane of Seven Hells! Ruler of those beneath me!" evil monologues calmly ask him for an official visa, certifying his legal status as a representative of his realm of damnation

Hi Stewart~ Nice thread you have here. Be a shame if someone posted here.

Oh whoops~
Social fu? Yeah social fu. also I just like the idea of having our character be the peppy mother like character that proceeds to land a six pack of whoopass on some demons. Also Sam would approve.

Hey Stewart, what is the current timeline in here?
Are all of Batman's villains already active or are some still waiting for their origin events to happen?
Asking cause I wonder if maybe we could recruit them into our future group?
Like for example, Mr. Freeze- help out with his wife's cure (maybe we find a magical cure)
And I say nay for I invoke the powers of the SAGE_DICE and SAM_DICE. Tremble I say Tremble!!! Muhahahaha!
...
Just to note that doesn't do anything as I haven't gotten out the sacrifical altar to complete the pact. So all is good. Although that doesn't change the fact that Sam's name has already been invoked which requires no such pact.

Police department. NEW police department. That means bureaucracy and in-fighting and jockeying for position.
Admin is life here; it's how you hire agents, requisition resources like new agents and SWAT teams, and get permission to run undercover agents or establish agreements with non-humans on behalf of the city.
If you do not know your way around these things, you're screwed.
+2 Magic because, well, Magic.
AID because it makes a snappy PR-friendly acronym.

The universe is mostly AU, some villains will have one character story line while another can have a different one. Researching known criminals is a good option to come.
But, we gotta try and act within character. Can't exactly say to Gordon that we want to employ a cryo scientist because he sounds...cool. So meta gaming isn't a great way to act.
But, this is not to say, that if you come across characters who may or may not have a dangerous future ahead, you can't use resources to help, guard, snoop, or at very worse, bind into services.

Okay.
As for a legit reason to hire a cryo scientist...maybe we will get lucky/unlucky and have a fire demon invasion.
Another villain we could recruit (if they just gotten their powers) would be Poison Ivy. She grows plants, in other words we could get a steady supply of magical plants if we can give them to her.

[x]Beuaru of Occult. B.O.O
+Standard White Male* Protagonist Versus the Forces of Evil! Naah, not as catchy as B.O.O.
*The fact he has "white" as part of his name makes him double-white and thus more plot-relevant, I suppose.
