What do you get when you mix the action and relationships of the Troubleshooter series with the day-to-day, working-to-eat grind of Cowboy Bebop?
In my mind, it's a little something like this:
1.) Players are employees of "Pack Security," a supernatural private security company specializing in bodyguard work in the fictional Midwest city of Greeneburg, USA. The firm started out as a werewolf only group (and may still be if the group wants it to stay that way) but the owner, Alpha wolf Luna Carina, has recently hired on a few magic users and bloodsuckers.
2.) The group's latest contract is to protect City Councilman Trey Gutierrez's daughter during a trade show. Some bigwigs from Silicon Valley are coming to scout out defunct offices for their firms. Trey's vote on the matter is the difference between billions of dollars coming into the city- or going overseas. Someone has tried to kidnap Trey's daughter once, and they will likely try again. The perpetrator is unknown as DNA evidence is still being analyzed, but they are likely supernatural in nature as well.
3.) Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to protect the Councilman's daughter from attack or kidnapping until the trade show is done and the deal is voted on. Sounds easy, right? Of course it won't be. Otherwise there wouldn't be an RP!
-----------------------------------------
A few points:
A.) The supernatural is revealed in this timeline, but not everyone is cool with their neighbor being a werewolf. Think the AIDS epidemic in the '80s. A lot of misinformation and a whole lot more distrust.
B.) Magic is restricted to the plausible. If someone wants to roll up a wizard, you won't be slinging fireballs around for fun. However, if you want to give that loose brick over the bad guy's head just the barest nudge, sending it down onto his skull, that's perfectly kosher.
C.) Werewolves, vampires and magicians will be "out of the closet" to the public. Anything outside these three groups is considered "underground" still. People idly speculate that other supernatural stuff exists, but nobody has any proof and with all the scrutiny being applied to the Big Three, they aren't in a hurry to be revealed.
So... any interest?
