Original story and plot in the works. If you’re looking for mystery, crime fighting, and psychological thrills with a mild supernatural twist, then you’ve just found it.

Synopsis:
The BUC (Bureau of Unconventional Crime) has existed for over ten years, beneath the eyes of the public. The purpose of this organization is to investigate and solve unusual and even supernaturally-influenced crimes and cases. You have been specially chosen to work for the BUC on the detective force, a separate branch that works with the police on particularly difficult and puzzling mysteries. You and the other recruits from around the globe must learn to cooperate and be able to work under pressure, knowing that the lives of many innocent people may be placed into your hands, and you must do all that is in your power to uphold justice in the face of extreme peril and threat to your person.

Your supervisor and employer, a veteran agent known only as “Mister Smith”, will be watching you closely and assessing your abilities, assigning you to specific tasks based on his judgment of your capability of performing them. If at any time you fail to meet his expectations, you will be discharged from the force and your memory wiped to ensure the security of BUC and the rest of the recruits.

More information will be provided in the OOC, this thread is simply to generate interest.

Important Note: All characters are required to pass a test before joining the RP, the details of which will be provided after you have submitted a CS. All CSs will be PMed directly to me before being posted in the OOC.

I will now take your questions.

Ooooh, very interested!

I'd be interested.

I'm interested.

Which nation created the BUC? Would they accept an agent from CBP "Zaslon" Special Operations? Will we travel around the globe? Last but not least... Would you accept a character with Synesthesia?

The Bureau has no affiliation with any particular country, but they work with the government of whichever country they are currently being hosted in and are bound by the laws of said nation. All agents are selected from various locations worldwide, and yes we will travel the globe.

Your character may have whatever disabilities/personal quirks that you choose. If your character possesses qualities that are valuable to the Bureau, I don't see how it would affect their being chosen.

This sounds really interesting. Looking forward to reading more about it!

I'd be willing to give this a shot. PCs are just normal human beings, yes?

You have my attention. Also, I noticed your signature and avatar, I see what's influenced the idea.

Yes. I had toyed with the idea of giving characters supernatural abilities but thought that might get too complicated.

Hah, yes I have to say Death Note was one of the influences, along with specific plot elements I used in another long-running RP on another site that so far has been very successful and probably other more subtle contributions from other sources. I'm trying to work more on plot devices and character development to keep players interested, since many RPs I've started and/or joined in the past eventually ran out of the "brand-new and exciting" phase and withered away because players lost interest. It's still a work in progress so I appreciate suggestions and criticism.

I'll be posting the OOC later today, so stay tuned.

I'm excited for this so far, I look forward to the OOC.

Still recruiting players.
