In a time when people are just beginning to learn of the existence of supernatural beings, those beings are trying to make it seem less scary. How better to do that then force them to live together? Right. This isn't the past. You can't just force things your afraid of to live together and away from the general population. The group that is moving to the house, is going to have to fight to get along as well as get the town to open their minds. It may not be the simpliest task, as many assumptions and differences run deep.
The mayor has asked the residents of Independence to open their minds while also asking the supernaturals to stay at the house on the end of Walnut St. Doesn't seem terrible, except the house does have some of it's own issues. Only seems to prove that even those encouraging change, aren't much better than the rest. They've got to work on keeping the house together while also working together and making their way.
The OOC
This would be where your character woud come in. You would be one of the supernatural beings living within the house or if you really wanted, you could be a human neighbor. Maybe you're fighting for equality just as the rest of them are. Or maybe you just want to get closer to the strange beings. This story will pick up when everyone is moving in to the house. There will likely be people who don't mix well and probably some relationships formed. It's up to you what type of character you have.
