The clandestine organisation toiling in the shadows to recognise, contain and destroy evil. We are the Bizarre Patrol. Semper Paratus.

I've had this idea for an RP rolling around in my head for quite some time now! The story will focus on the Bizarre Patrol--a "secret society" that protects the world from evil, usually associated with myths and legends. Each member of the Bizarre Patrol has a "talent", usually a degree in something or some sort of background that would help in tracking and obtaining artefacts and fighting evil! I already have three characters that I would play: Rodney Sweet--a professor of linguistics and comparative religions. Mr Pembroke--the man who brought the five members of the Bizarre Patrol together--and Ares, Mr Pembroke's personal assistant. I'm looking for another player who would create their own characters associated with the team (we'd also brainstorm some as well) as well as events and artefacts we'd like to explore. I have a few "plot points" in mind I'd love to explore and we can move on and design from there! Anybody down from some globe-trotting adventures?

I prefer to use the site for roleplaying and Discord for world-building and such throughout.

1.) The Trident of Poseidon-- "But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea" Plato, Timaeus/Critias If the legends are true--and in this line of work you quickly learn they usually are--then the City of Atlantis lies at the bottom of the ocean, beneath Bermuda Triangle. The Trident of Poseidon--the ultimate weapon may be what put it there in the first place. Someone has found the Trident. We need to put it back. The Atlanteans are coming...

2.) Eye of Odin -- "Skeggöld. Skalmöld. Skildir ro klofnir. Vindöld. Vargöld. Áðr veröld steypisk. Mun engi maðr ǫðrom þyrma" Völuspá 45 Winter came in cold and hard last year. Roads froze over. A thick, frigid haze hung in the sky. The snow kept piling up. Soon, the world was covered in a blanket of snow and ice. It's August now, and there is still no sign of winter ending. The first sign of Ragnarök.

3.) The Obsidian Tomb -- "...then I will lay My hand on Egypt and bring out My hosts, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments. 5 The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst." Exodus 7:4-5 (NASB) First there were locusts. Then there were frogs. Two plagues in two weeks. Something in the burning sands of Egypt is coming. Something evil...

I'd like to do a group roleplay for this one! I'm looking for a more collaborative storytelling effort as opposed to being a GM and plotting out the story. Let me know if you're interested! I'm thinkin' about three to five folks--each of us playing a key member of the team as our "main and any other NPCs or other characters in the plot as the story develops. I look forward to playing with you all!

Count me in!

This is very much right in my alley. Id love to know if this is still available.

@TolkienBlackGuy
I also like this sort of thing. Whenever i make a character i generally cannot resist making a team for them, i enjoy making organisations almost as much as playing characters.

I like the option 2 "Eye of Odin" the best as i think it is the one that could conceal the most surprises and will allow allot of writing latitude to make your own universe.

Anyway here is a first draft of some characters that i might use. Think of it as a player resume.



Enter Professor Steven Pair, Professor of European history at Imperial College London. Outwardly, a historian of unremarkable stock, author of two books, both little known: 1.) Study of Aryan resistance movements to Nazism 1919-1945. 2.) Meta-analysis of Psychological Warfare In the Age of Sword. He is also the creator of the Society of Neoteric Historians, an invitation only secret society for those seeking out to experience history as it is being made.

Activities of the society are generally closely guarded secrets, but range from watching as the Brexit Referendum votes were televised in a function room, to being present at the 2002 Million man Hugo Chavez Resignation march in Venezuela. New members are generally proposed by Professor Pair and are then selected by committee of all the previous members. The prerequisites are "A proven love of history, a strong nerve and stiff upper lip." All candidates are thoroughly dox'd before approach, and usually have one of their university assignments or graduate thesis provided by Pair. The organisation is generally apolitical does not seek to preference any ideology for reasons of professional impartiality.

The dues paid to the society are small, generally grossing not much more than a few thousand pounds per year for book keeping. They also keep Ross Brand, an industrial saboteur, on retainer.

The current known members of the group are:
Addison Lewis, of London. BA in Italian History, studied under Pair. Dyslexic.


Jonas van Beyeren, of New York. A soft-spoken American who studied in London. BA in History and European studies. Always impeccably dressed. Excellent memory.


Ross Brand, of London. History largely falsified. Comes highly recommended. Industrial Saboteur / Private Investigator. Occasionally contacted.


Shelley Sanders, of Arizona. World class IPSC and 3 Gun shooter. Hot housed by father. Uses 1911 pistol. Occasionally contacted.


Jake "Satchel" Blaine, of New York. Parkour enthusiast, father was in Delta Force. Recorded document delivery, employed with Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz Law firm. Occasionally contacted.

Holy moly! I didn't realise the response this got! Oof, Why not we make this a group roleplay! I've always wanted to give one of those a shot. What do you all think?

Id say give it another shot, maybe a new Icheck. I know i'm still quite interested.

Bump

Bump! This one is still alive, and perhaps the one I'm most interested in taking!

Interested, if you'll have someone that has a small repository of soldier-type characters.
