Anyway onto the repsonsesThanks for those suggestions Hand of Evil I'll start working on that.@ Mesh Hong in reponse to your comments . . .> welcome to Enworld! Thank you.> Now please dont take this the wrong way but is the Supernatural a well> known factor in your modern world? I am saying this because from your> set up it seems like a pretty big organisation with a sizable public> presence and quite a few resources. The supernatural is both well known and not well known. That is some group e.g. intelligence agencies, secretive government ovesight commitee's, ancient orders or the supernatural beings themselves are well aware that there is at least something out there even if they don't know the exact specifics.For example the prime-minister of Australia or the president of America is unlikely to know its real as they change on a regular basis on the other hand the Queen of England, some sections of established intelligence gathering organisations like the CIA or MI5 would be aware it exists  as they don't change that often and in the later case are technically responsible for monitoring potential overseas threats. Specific groups such as this one or its English/Japanese/German equivilent would know a lot more types, habitat, threat/not-threat status etc. However your average person on the street is going to be like one in the real world and will probably think its myths, superstition or just mumbo jumbo.In this world its always been real but for the last few thousand years its been dying out fewer mages, species driven to extinction, others just disapearing etc. Lately i.e. in the last century or so with the rise of the scientific method, faster/wider commmunication and a more global perspective various groups have become aware that there is some truth to these legends and are now attempting to save/exploit/defend against them depending on their outlook.> Oh I like the ASIA acronym, thats cool. Thank you again.> Things that stand out: >> - It has a lot of cross over with regular police work. Cyber crime, Drugs> and Homicide for instance. How does that work exactly? Much like real world police departments only directed against supernatural causes/inolvement. For example . . .Cybercrime - magical spells bestowing intelligence on a machine, ancient demon infesting robotic body, alien technology that fuses a person into their machine.Drugs - extracts from a supernatural being that causes loss of willpower and induces obedience, certain substances that have a similar effect to modern drugs on supernatural beings, supernatural body parts being sold on to wealthy clients for their special effects (telepathy, increased virility, increased longevity).Homicide - murder of an intelligent supernatural being i.e did that orc foolishly eat brocoli or did someone forcefeed it, use of a supernatural means in the murder of someone i.e. magically induced hearth attack, summoning of a demon, mental domination to make them step in front of a train etc.> - It has a public relations office and a miss information department, thats> just amusing. How exactly does it interact with the public on a day to> day basis?Mainly public relations job is coming up with believable and different cover stories to keep the public from becoming aware of what exists right under their nose whether that's along the lines of "he had a heart attack", "there was a gas explosion" or "we're filming a movie". The last one may involve actually funding and filming an independant film with that theme.It also to a lesser extent handles calming down or containing those who do find out the real truth, maintaining good relations with and providing safe secure environemnts for various neutral/good supernatural groups in an attempt to prevent their extinction and first stage recruitment when the person thinks they're applying for a regular job with the Austrlaian Security Intelligence Agency who is responsible for handling "special incidents" that occur as a result of new or developing technoligies like Genetic Engineering. The later also involves actually deciding which cases can be included in that cover identity. For example a case involving a mage wouldn't be while one involving genetically engineered velociraptors might.</blockquote>
