"How in the world did we win?"

Since time immemorial, magic has always been a part of life. Ever since intelligent life was formed. They soon quickly realized that certain individuals are able to make the seemingly impossible possible, from lifting stones without lifting a finger, to creating massive fireballs that can engulf a whole person. Burning whoever caught into a crisp. These awesome abilities have always been utilized in some form, and the world slowly but surely flourished as technology advances and magic alongside it.
From the magicians in China exploring some methodology to cure death, to the great Magical Institutions of Europe training mages the art of combat spells, it seems that all is well in this world of Earth.
But the year 1600 came by, and that illusion was shattered. Earth, and it's many kingdoms and Empires had it's fair share of problems, the Triangle Trade conducted by European Powers, the Sengoku Jidai raging all across Japan, the displacement and subjugation of peoples in Siberia by the Russian Empire, but all of that pales in comparison to the message received by Earth's various Mages.
From Wise sages in Korea and China, to Magicians and Alchemists in France and England, or the Wizards and Witches in Kongo and Abyssinia. Everyone detected a presence, a malicious presence that desired nothing more than to eat and cannibalize this world. For 200 years the solution is to just raise their hands and do nothing, with such an overwhelming force, the many species of earth might as well live vicariously until their impending doom. The Earth is doomed anyway right? So we might as well live our best lives until the end. So collectively says the various peoples living all across the planet.
That changed after the end of World War 2. Firstly, there were the various technological advancements made, secondly, Roswell, and thirdly, the Organization of Magical Regulation was also created. The subsequent technological advancements coming from tearing apart a crashed Alien Ship, with the burgeoning space industries of America, Europe and the Soviet Union finally gave Earth a chance.
It was predictable that a massive coverup is initiated, solely meant to prevent the Abomination from realizing what has just transpired. It is easy in hindsight, the cold war was heating up, and nations all around the world can conceal their budgetary allocations behind the typical web of intrigue and lies. With the help of the Organisation, and the help of gods, both new and old. A solution was finally achieved in the 1980s.
In 1989, on the eve of the Eldritch… thing arriving on the nearest star system. A final sally, a fleet consisting of some 300 spaceships, lead by none other than Adam and Eve, fought the Abomination and miraculously defeated it.
The casualties are legion, gods, humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and dragons died by the thousands. But the Abomination was finally defeated, it led to the shattering of Earth’s moon, but the Earth was saved.
1989 would be remembered by 2 massive events in this world, the end of the cold war and the shattering. It has been 6 years after that.
The technological miracles developed in secret, once used for a singular purpose of defeating an Eldritch Being, is slowly spilling out into this world, the internet, advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, even rudimentary quantum computing are all being slowly disseminated in a way that prevents more chaos from happening, the remaining spaceships the OMR possesses are using it’s advanced magical technologies to reform the moon, and Earth seems freed from the threat of it's utter annihilation.
All seems well, the world seems more peaceful than ever, the threat of annihilation is gone, and technologies once thought as miraculous are slowly seeping into wider society. But the OMR knows that this isn’t the full picture.
Recent intelligence reports have shown that large shipments of weapons have entered Germany, be they Magical or Conventional, and the OMR are worried that there is a growing terrorist group growing in Germany’s underground. The collapse of the Eastern Bloc has led to a surge of illegal weapons, both magical and conventional, to flood Europe, leading to a rise in crime all across the continent. This rise is a risk that the Organization has to stop.
And Headquarters has decided to send you to solve the problem. Whoever you are.
Welcome!
Welcome to The Hunt. A Modern Fantasy Roleplaying Game set in 1995 Germany. In this game, you will be playing as some form of OMR Agent, or some outsider hired by the OMR to solve a mystery concerning recent large arms shipments across Post Unification Germany. While it is a natural fact that weapons from the dissolved Eastern Bloc has been flooding the Black Markets all across Europe, this recent spike of Weapons Shipments, both Magical and Non Magical, are proving to be a significant problem that must be dealt with.
You will be tasked with solving the issue firsthand. Basing yourself in Frankfurt am Main, you will work alongside the Organization of Magical Regulation and uncover the mystery behind the shipments, and unravel the intricate web of deception and conspiracy that lies in the centre of it all.
Hope you don't blow up the European Continent while working on your case!

The Species of this world
Earth is home to a myriad of different species, but more importantly, a myriad of different intelligent species. Do not believe the lies spouted by racists that certain species are dumber than others, that has been disproven by Scientific Papers dating back from the 1800s.
We all are living in this world together, and it be best for our survival that we get to know the various intelligent species together. So let's unpack the 5 intelligent species that inhabit the Earth, and their various iterations.
Frankfurt am Main
Also known as 'Bankfurt' in pejorative terms. Frankfurt am Main will be the main site of operations for this RP. A centre of commerce, banking, and transportation. The city is a major hub for the Rhineland, and a major city for the whole of Germany. The city has also been one of the leading places where illicit weapons are being smuggled, and police raids into warehouses, usually accompanied by intense firefights are becoming a common occurrence. Much to the discomfort and displeasure of the City Dwellers.
You are tasked with handling the situation in Frankfurt. Get a handle on the current problem, and hopefully, provide clues and evidence as to where the weapons are being smuggled from, who are the major recipients, and why they are smuggling weapons en masse into Germany in the first place.
The Magic System
‘Magic’ is a term to describe the various abilities inside everyone to alter the Real World using forces beyond the Laws of Physics for some purpose. Everyone has some magic reserves but some, through training, their environment, and modifications, do have more magic reserves than others.
The Magic System in this world is also really simple, with the general concept of thinking of something and using your appendages, be they hands or feet, to enact some unnatural change into the world. The system has its limits, even incredibly old deities with eons of experience cannot destroy a major city, the burden of changing reality to such an extent can kill people if attempted.
New users of magic typically have to chant in order to cast magic spells. But veteran magic users can literally just think and the change could be enacted just like that. Some magic users utilize conduits such as staffs, wands, and even the more modern magical weapons, while some magic users just use their bare hands.
Some Rules
Coordinate on Discord Please: Please join the Discord if you want to play the RP. Click on the picture to join the Discord.
Please post substantially every time: I don't expect much, even 2 paragraphs is enough. But I do expect some level of detail and depth in your posts that will keep the RP moving.
Discuss with me if you want a wholly original Character: The RP already has 6 Species and there's nothing in the rules preventing you playing as a Demi Species, with Demonic or Angelic variations should you be interested. But if you still feel the need to make a wholly original character, please coordinate with me and we'll see if such a character is possible.
Setting's a bit insane: It is a world where the Cold War has ended and the Earth was just saved by FTL spaceships fighting an Eldritch Abomination, a setting where gods hang out in Cafes and that's a totally normal occurrence, and a setting where being immortal in some way, while certainly unusual, is not considered an earth shaking event. Please adjust your expectations accordingly.
