[OOC] The Occult Investigations Agency

The Occult Investigations Agency

---

The World
The year is 2028, supernatural entities and knowledge of them has become public knowledge for almost a decade now. Elves, vampires, ghosts, almost eveything we once considered fantasy has become reality. With this new reality came the need to enforce law and order as the world came to terms with the fact that humanity was no longer alone in this world...if it ever was to begin with. Today these supernatural entities are protected by a international law enforcement group known officially as "The Agency for Occult Investigations and Law Enforcement" or more commonly referred to as "The Occult Investigations Agency"-the OIA. You are a member of this organization, spending most of your days investigating cases that were common before the arrival of our new neighbors. There are the odd curious cases that take you for a short spin but most agents dont see anything too out of the ordinary. At least, thats what most agents say. There's always been rumors of a higher echelon of investigators within The Agency. Detectives assigned to close cases too high-risk or too classified for public eyes.

Our story begins in the city of New Carcosa, a booming metropolis situated on the northeast coast of the United States. The city is amongst the most developed and heavily populated cities in the country, with the highest racial diversity in the nation. As like any other city of its kind, you'll find its appearance to be that of a city between modern and cyberpunk fantasy in its aesthetic. Just barely getting into the realm of science fiction as magic begins to entwine itself in our society. What sets New Carcosa apart from other cities is the location of the United Occult Nations building, where representatives of each of the Occult Races gather to put forth legislation alongside members of the human U.N. as well as it being the HQ for the OIA.

But we're getting off topic, today your precinct is celebrating the retirement of one Captain Leon Navarro. Most of your precinct is there, so the usual banter between the various departments fills the precinct. Right now you've got time to mingle, catch up with some of the folks at the station, enjoy the little break while you can. Its about mid-day so you've probably got enough time in the day to pick up another case when your break ends. Good luck out there, agent.

The Rules
1.Your character can be almost any race from any civilization of your design or a pre-existing one. As long as it isn't some overpowered being from a demigod race residing in another dimension it will most likely be allowed. Usually if your idea fits into the theme of the RP I'll allow it. If you aren't sure then PM me and I'll work with you.
2.Unless its in the IC, no fighting.
3.Posts need to be at least a paragraph or two.
3.There isn't a posting order, but try to leave character interactions open to the possibility of another character joining you if at all possible.
4.Don't control another player's character without their permission.
5.If you have an idea for a story arc or something, ask me first before starting it. Don't set it all up and force it to happen because then everything gets derailed.

OIA Divisions
There is the R&D Department who research occult items and anomalies to gain intel and possibly engineer new tech for the OIA.

Occult Tactics Operatives who act as SWAT in high risk situations like magical ordinance disposal, hostile occult anomaly neutralization, etc. Basically if its too magical and too dangerous for regular SWAT or agents, OTOs get sent.

Violent Occult Crimes who deal with mostly homicides and other violent crimes of an occult nature. Things like an orc gang shootout dont count. If it is a type of violent crime that existed before the occult arrived, its not VOC's business. They get involved when things get weird.

Wendigo

OIA Beast of burden

---

OIA Designation

Race: Corrupted dryad
Gender: none
Age: none
Psychological Profile Subect ID#14489-W, or 'Wendigo', is a shackled dryad captured by OIA agent Devora. The beast has been captured at great risk and containment determined effective and permanent docile nature when in the presence of its handler, its former intelligence holding out against the spiritual defilenent imparted on its soul. Wendigo appears to follow commands of its own accord and displays what could be considered affection for the handlers safety.

Peculiar habits include a sudden appetite for meat, uncaring what kind, and can be highly aggressive in the field. For whatever reason it has imprinted on the staff as its pack.
Note: Wendigo has repeatedly asked to be terninated if the shackles show any sign of tampering, showing great concern for other life.

Background: Dryads are nature dwelling spirits, heralds of growth in the forests and docile towards life. Few have ever been seen or spoken to, fewer still offer their services and sight to anyone. Wendigos are what happens when a grove is polluted with toxic materials and subjected to horrible curses, becoming living woods and remains of buried creatures animated into a single entity.

Wendigos are vicious and unrelenting forces corrupted by foreign influence, all known cases of these creatures have ended in casualties and the consumption of humans or beasts alike. Agent Devora was fortunate the beast was a weakened variant in its early stages or growth to its current state. Binding have been placed on its arms and neck region during their encounter meant to imprison possessed beings, the result was Wendigos current state of being.

Wendigo has retained its former docile nature and intelligence as newer bindings were developed to combat its newfound urges to commit atrocity. Why it was cleared to operate as Devoras partner/pet is beyond anyones knowledge.
Strict protocols hinder its freedoms completely.

Assigned Division: Subordinate to Field investigations agent

Training: None. Wendigo was a former wilderness spirit, but has acclimated to city dwelling with remarkable ease. Presence of Wendigo has inspired others to adopt supernatural and willing entities to work alongside agents in the field.

Relevant Experience: none.

Notes: While Wendigo is an asset to the OIA, it is under no uncertain terms that if Davora fails to control it completely at all times it must be terminated.
Leniency on its imprisonment has been given in recent weeks as its proven 'friendliness' has been brought to light.

Devora Amigora

Devora Amigora

---

OIA Designation

Race: Half-elf
Gender: Female
Age: 37
Psychological Profile
Devora is a diligent worker, but is also quite laid back at times, especially when she's in her 'office mode'. In such a setting, she can be quite friendly to almost anyone that enters her office. But when it comes to getting down to business, she's very serious about what she does, and doesn't allow for any distractions. Most might say she's a bit of a hard ass when it comes to such things.

On the field, Devora tends to be more merciful to beast-like creatures, unless she has strict orders to destroy them, rarely does she go against such orders. She sees these creatures as potential companions that will assist the organizations cause.

Devora enjoys messing with new recruits by introducing them to her Wendigo companion during their first training sessions.
Background
From a young age, Devora always had a special affinity with animals; she would often be followed around by stray dogs, cats, and the occasional family of rats as she walked through the streets, much to her parents chagrin. But as she grew older, the 'animals' that followed become somewhat.. stranger. Some of them had glowing marks or glowing eyes. Some melded into the shadows as they moved, but they never harmed her like they would anyone else. There were times when the beasts were more feral than the others, which forced her to subdue it in someway.. Such encounters have left her with quite a few scars. Worried, her parents asked the OIA to keep an eye on her. At first they didn't think it was a big deal.. Until they properly observed what was actually following her.

Devora made her first bond when she had just turned 20; During one of her walks through the streets, some of the rats that usually follow her around was carrying a strange looking egg, which had glowing blue markings on it. She decided to try hatch the egg, and (not really) to her surprise, a baby raven hatched from it. The moment it locked eyes with her, she felt a connection, unlike the usual imprinting. A bestial bond. The raven was quick to grow, becoming a faithful companion, who serves as her eyes in the sky.

It was at this point, the OIA made an official investigation into Devora's family and activities. For the most part it all seemed harmless outside of the supernatural beasts that attacked her previously. Due to her magical bond with the raven, they saw her as an asset to the Agency; putting her through rigorous tests and training.

Devora's reputation as a 'crazy cat lady' was quickly replaced with just 'crazy' after one of her missions. A mission to prevent the manifestation of a Wendigo. Her raven made the mission to find the would-be wendigo far smoother, but the hard part was stopping it. The tree was slowly becoming corrupted, and it's rampage had injured some of her squad. After some hesitation, she decided not to kill the beast as she had been ordered to. She instead placed a magical shackle on it, a shackle used to subdue larger magical beasts. Whether it would work on a would-be Wendigo was a huge gamble. Fortunately, it worked. The creature's corruption had ceased, but there was the problem of figuring out what to do with it.

A stack of paperwork later, Devora was ordered to keep it under control. Should it lose control, she would be responsible for putting it down.

Notes
- Devora affectionately refers to the Wendigo as "Sir Fluffles."
- The raven's name is 'Akash'
- Devora is able to see through the eyes of Akash via their link, however she goes blind whilst doing so.
- Her office is more like a zoo for small magical beasts, containing many clear glass tanks. She even has a small demonic hermit crab in a glass bowl on her desk.
- She uses an old school revolver, with a choice of lead or fire ammunition.

Douglas Finn

Douglas Finn

OIA Designation

Race: Human (Deathless)
Gender: Male
Age: 42 (appears in his mid 20's)
Psychological Profile:

A passive man, usually friendly and non-aggressive. He has a great sense of humor. Tends to be a bit cynical at times. When focused on a case, the case comes first, alienating himself from anyone not helping him to solve it. He has shown to have a strong will, his years of work not slowing down his determination one bit.

His immortality has seemingly dulled his sense of self-preservation. He has gone into dangerous circumstances, knowing he can't die. When dismembered, he's just as calm, if a little annoyed, as usual. He's even used his dismembered limbs for practical jokes. Strangely, Douglas has reported to still feel pain, so it's unknown if this still occurs with dismemberment.

Background:

Born in 1986, much of Douglas' life was normal. He grew up in a loving household, graduated high school on the honor roll, and went to college to become a forensic investigator. After getting his Bachelor's at 19, he worked part-time as a forensic scientist for the NCPD, while studying for his next degree. Eventually, he worked his way into a full-time position as a CSI. For the next few years, he assisted the NCPD in catching many criminals.

One day, when he was 25, he was investigating the seemingly sacrificial murders of the city's residents. The MO had lined up with a similar case years before his time, Serial Killer Markus Durian, so he decided to investigate the condemned house of the murderer to see if there were any connections. This is when he was ambushed and captured by a group of cultists, The Durian Cult, whom idolized the previous killer and thought he was onto something big before he was captured. They performed a ritual, and branded him with a circle in his middle-back (dubbed "The Mark of Cain" or "The Endless Cycle"). It's assumed that the cultists must have misunderstood Markus's notes, for the ritual had made Douglas "Deathless", and he could no longer die. They tortured him with his newfound immortality for the next day, until the day after when the NCPD raided the home and found the cultists, along with Douglas, in the basement.

Following some months of paid leave and therapy, Douglas was back to the NCPD, the encounter with the cultists having only strengthened his resolve. He worked for the next 5 years unaware of his affliction with undeath, believing what the cultists did to him involved hallucigenics. But then, one fateful day, he was investigating the crime scene of a possible gang shooting. A crowd of people who knew the victims had gathered, and Douglas was lightly questioning one of them when 3 cars slowly passed the scene. The passengers rolled down the windows and open-fired on the crowd, injuring and killing many civilians and officers alike, before speeding away. Douglas was hit 3 times in the chest during the drive-by. But as he got up from the floor, he felt fine, feeling his chest, there were bullet-holes in his shirt, but no wounds in his body.

After being sent home that day, hiding the bulletholes from his colleagues, he went into his bathroom and cut his hand open. After a few moments, it healed right back up before his very eyes. Then, he did something very stupid: he took his gun, pointed it at his chest, and fired. For a second, he thought he was dead, having just been an crazy idiot. But then he woke up moments later, alive, slouched against the bathroom wall. But the bullet did hit the wall directly behind him.

He hid his Deathless state from his coworkers for the next coming years. Occult occurances were becoming more and more common. Then, in 2019, OIA came around. Douglas immediately applied for a job and told them of his predicament. Including a demonstration. He was hired on as a senior R&D member ever since, investigating the world of the Occult.

Assigned Division:

Specialization:

Relevant Experience:

Notes:

While he has gone through therapy Douglas can still be found at times simply staring off into nothing.

When testing the lengths of his immortality, Douglas's dismembered arm decomposed at a near-instant rate after a day of seperation, and he proceeded to grow another within a few minutes.

His parents have both passed, and Douglas has no other family, being an only child. And, through his own reports, it seems he cannot reproduce.

Darc

---

OIA Designation

Race: Lesser Demon
Gender:
Male
Age:
153
Psychological Profile
Jovial and chatty, and unlike what his appearance would indicate he is a nice fellow. But also as his appearance would indicate, he is a monster and wears a smile like a mask so that he can get away with various heinous plots. A schemer, liar, and manipulator who despite these negative values has a sense of honor and respect. After all, if he was truly without any semblance of decency, he would never be able to control others as well as he desires.

Professionally he does his best to provide the utmost service with the best efficiency as he could. That is to say, he does good enough. When it’s time to work he’s willing to put aside personal feelings to get the job done, but has a certain level of detachment from the job that some might consider him heartless. Which is far from the truth; in his personal life Darc is actually quite emotional and open to heart-to-heart chats and genuinely wants to help others. So long as it helps him too of course. Not the type of man who feels the law must be absolute when he knows it’ll screw over an innocent person, but at the same time petty and spiteful enough to let it happen anyways.

Background
The first of many outsiders to come to Earth and join what he refers to as the Mortal Plane. While many demons first arrived to raise havoc among the unprepared and unsuspecting mortals, Darc choose to use the experience to learn more about the world and what he may be up against. When the initial flood of demons were culled by the mortal retaliation force, Darc made sure to lay low and operate in the shadows to escape persecution. It was during that time he gained a feel for his powers in this new world and began to spread his influence via his magic. He targeted the vast amounts of homeless, vagrant, and orphaned as they were of weak will but limitless potential.

For the next few years he honed his spells to create a vast information network consisting of his various familiars, spies, and sleeper agents for two purposes: to root out rival demons and information brokers, and to improve the lot of those under his control. A demon who leads with the carrot as much as he does the stick, he attracted various followers with his promises of success and riches in their lives, and those who served him well were indeed rewarded. They wouldn’t remember him of course, but they would remember the organization that helped them get back on their feet: Underhaven.

Before too long Darc formally joined and began to cooperate with OIA. For the longest time Darc’s success was attributed to the subtly of his magic and domination, but when zealous demon hunters began to harass Darc’s followers and threaten to out his secret he joined OIA to put the threat down. Nowadays Darc still maintains his vast information network to spy on both his enemies and threats around the city, and serves as a humble communications officer to provide live intel and information to any operatives in the field.

Assigned Division:
Violent Occult Crimes

Specialization
Communications
Espionage
Information Control
Demonic Magic

Training
Familiar Contract - The art of summoning or creating magic familiars. Typically animals or lesser magical beings such as imps, sprites, or fairies. They’re fairly weak in combat but in exchange they have a wide variety of utility abilities, be it magical powers or technical knowledge. Nonmagical beings can be anything from lice on a rat or even another human being. He can command his familiars to do anything he tells them to, with weaker willed ones unable to resist though stronger wills (or at least sapient) can sometimes resist if the command is not something they’d be willing to do.

Familiar Augmentation (Memory) - An offshoot of Familiar summoning which allows Darc to extract, observe, and edit the memory and mental abilities of his familiars. This allows any familiar contracted under him to share their thoughts and perception in real time with Darc should he have reason to need it, as well as manipulate those memories however he desires. This ability only works for his familiars but allows them access to knowledge they might otherwise not have obtained.

Shapeshifting - One of Darc’s natural demon magic which allows him to alter his body in different ways. Weaker than it usually is however; at the moment he’s limited to only being able to transform into other humanoids and without any of their magical abilities, though he shares their physical traits and stats. He mostly uses this to sneak around other mortals or live another life.

Relevant Experience
Homeless Emperor - Darc has been incognito as the self-proclaimed
ruler of the homeless, orphaned, and disitute around New Carcosa. This has allowed him to have close knowledge about the various shady and underground going ons around town, as well has having private information beyond places were the homeless are ignored. He’s made good allies both legitimate and otherwise through his time as the Homeless Emperor, equal to the amount of enemies.

Notes

Darc has lost much of his powers since coming to the mortal realm, and needs time and energy to regain his full strength. He obtains said energy via his Familiar Contracts, siphoning a minuscule amount of energy from his contract holders. He can drain more if he needs to, but keeps it small since he employs a mass amount of contracts to compensate.

Darc also isn’t his real name, it’s merely the most common alias he refers to himself as. He use multiple names and personas to go with it, and he hides his true name so that his enemies can’t use it against him. “Darc Riovas” is his mortal name that he uses for his day-to-day living.

Under his mortal guise Darc has patented an app called Underhaven, meant to provide information to homeless and struggling people to find help either for housing, work, or health. However it also serves a dual purpose as a communication virus that allows Darc to eavesdrop on those who use his app, allowing him to gather information using any device linked to whatever the app is downloaded on, such as wireless speakers, cameras, etc. It's an entirely magical virus as oppose to a purely digital virus. Naturally, it was funded by OIA R&D.

---

OIA Designation

Race: Psionic human
Gender: Female
Age: 29
Psychological Profile
The type of lady you do not want to piss off. Equal parts crazy, brave, sadistic, and has utter disregard for people not part of her little group. Growing up in gangs then being caught up in a shady mercenary group for most of her early life has colored her personality a bit for the worse. A battle hardened girl whose seen more shit than people twice her age by the time she was twenty. She has a healthy dose of mistrust for people, but has surprisingly shown stalwart faith and loyalty in those she's working with. She's stubborn and has a tendency to see things through to the end despite any sort of obstacle.

In her general day to day, she's amicable enough, getting along with peers fairly well, if somewhat catty and a bit antagonistic. She has shown a tendency to antagonize everyone, is a bit of a wise-ass.

Background
Raised for the first eight years of her life in the now burnt down St. Elziabeth's shelter for children, Katherine has had a bad hand dealt from birth. (See the Elizabeth's Shelter incident for more information). Running away from the abusive orphanage when she was eight, she was quickly picked up by a local gang who called themselves the 'Carcosa Yellow Kings' who, by all accounts, are a now defunct cult after a raid by the mercenary group known as 'Fenrir'. She doesn't talk much about what happened there, but it's clear this is where her Psionic abilities first began to manifest, likely due to some inhuman experimentation by the cult for the nine years she was there.

After a raid by the Merc Group known as Fenrir, she was taken from the cult and recruited into their ranks for her Psionic abilities and her apparent weapons training. From there she was used as a special ops soldier by the group, and worked for both various governments and other organizations that had supernatural problems to deal with. Up until a year ago, she was still working for them, but decided to quit after an incident involving the Mercenary company and the OIA butting heads during an investigation where it was revealed Fenris was openly researching and delving into Occult business.

Afterwards, she willingly cooperated with OIA officials and has been a valuable source of information on the mercenary groups past operations, and is currently assigned as an OTO officer for the past sixth months, of course, being under special supervision.

Occult Tactics Operatives

Specialization

Special operations & Swat

Training(if applicable)
Formal hand-to-hand combat training
Standard Firearm training
Some Psionics training from her time in a cult

Relevant Experience(if applicable)
Eleven years as a mercenary dealing with occult and dangerous situations

Notes
Despite having some Psionic ability thanks to her time with the Yellow Kings, Katherine's ability with them is rather sub-par, at most only able to perform the simplest of tricks and tasks. It often seems to manifest as some form of hyper-awareness of her surroundings, telepathy, and minor telekinesis, plus a resistance to similar effects. Her favorite combat shotgun is affectionately named 'Remy'. She lacks a formal education, and as such isn't the brightest when it comes to complicated subjects, but has an extremely decent grasp of tactics and teamwork.

Accurate telepathy of around a Kilometer.
Hyper-awareness of about a ten-foot radius around her.
Telekenesis of up to thirty pounds with some minor straining.

St. Elizabeth's Orphanage Incident
A rather unfortunate incident involving a vampire and undead. The abbess and the other nuns had later been discovered to be using the children as a form of easily attained sustenance. The question of what exactly happened there that dreary night it burned down is up for debate - there were no survivors. The vampires all burned to ash, and anyone else were reduced to simple minded ghouls or livestock. The only one who may potential information on it is rather tight lipped on the subject, saying she doesn't remember much aside from the Abbess being 'Someone who needed her face punched in'

Fenrir Mercenary Company
A shady but influential group of people and other supernatural entities working for various governments, organizations and other such groups. Little is known about their internal affairs - after Sinclair was apprehended and she helped clean up some of their work, they've gone underground along with whatever occult dealings they were currently investigating.

Aria Wolfsbane

Aria Wolfsbane

---

OIA Designation

Race: Aria is a wolf, though she often extends this to “Canis Lupus Arctos pars Homo Sapien”, which states her as being an Arctic Wolf part Human, due to what she believes is her origin.
Gender: Female
Age: 26, in human years.
Psychological Profile(Personality)
People can have mixed thoughts on their first look at Aria; as a wolf, she can perhaps be a little intimidating to some, though Aria prides herself in being above the ‘brainless mutts’ that are her brothers and sisters in race, as well as in dogs. She is intelligent, able to look at something and formulate a solution in her head quite easily, however there are times that she will like to toy with those around her. If she knows the answer and others don’t, instead of saying it outright she may (if the situation allows for it) attempt to coax the others into the answer and let them learn it for themselves.

As well as her intelligence being above that of an average wolf, rivalling that of a human’s intelligence, Aria’s friendliness differs from that of the wolf. She can be caring and compassionate as much as she is efficient. Of course, Aria can have times in the negative, becoming insensitive if there is a fast-approaching deadline or if she is feeling unconfident. She usually has good reason behind this, however, and rarely becomes truly aggressive, for she is normally calm.

Background(Character Bio)
It is difficult for Aria to pick out her origins, because she doesn’t know if they are true. In some of her spare time, she has attempted to extensively search on her own for where she has come from. Though there are still some loose ends, she believes that she has worked most of it out.

Aria didn’t have a mother and father in the traditional way, nor was she concieved in the normal way. Her father wasn’t a wolf, and her mother wasn’t a human. In fact, it was the other way around. She was the forced combination of a human sperm and wolf egg, which was then placed back into a wolf to be the surrogate mother for the abomination that the university that did it to her expected her to be. They were wrong in the thoughts.

The wolf that was soon born was nothing different to an ordinary wolf. Aria wasn’t thrown out immediately because the team observing her still wanted something to happen and were willing to wait for it. The wolf that served as her mother did not last as long as Aria did, however; she was cast out and released into the wild as soon as Aria stopped receiving milk from her. Eventually, it was decided that Aria had nothing to offer, and she was left to be a mascot of the university.

It was a full year before a newer professor asked something that made the those who still cared for Aria feel like fools; he pointed out that Aria seemed to have grown to the size of an adult wolf fairly quickly. Again, professors were peering at the young wolf as a subject of science. Despite the observation, she didn’t seem to grow any larger, but half a year later, something not expected happened. Aria began to talk in human tongue to them, and not like someone learning for the first time, either. After two days of stumbling over her own words, she was speaking in full sentences.

From there, Aria only grew to impress the professors even more. She discussed theories with them, as well as completed puzzles that she was given with efficiency. An IQ test stated her IQ to be 137, impressing professors. As supernatural entities began to make more of a public appearance, so did the wolf; after all, when studying nature, who better than a member of nature herself to give a lecture?

Aria eventually grew bored with her position, and began to look into other opportunities for herself, which was of course quite hard. Being four-legged meant she couldn’t exactly do what those with hands could do well, but she eventually stumbled across the OIA. It was hard for her to place what she could do there, but she soon decided that investigations would be a place for her (of course, she could have been involved with research and development, but she had enough of that from the university). While she had the knowledge to be research and development, she felt that her intelligence could be better utilised from the field - she always had believed that field science was better than sitting in a lab. From there, she began to serve under the OIA for years, digging up (sometimes literally) answers to investigations.

Notes
Aria doesn’t actually have a formal surname. She was required to have one so that she could be dubbed a professor and formally give lectures, so she believed it would be amusing to have the surname “Wolfsbane” despite being a wolf. It certainly gave students a chuckle when a wolf named “Professor Wolfsbane” was giving a lecture.

Oliver Ridley

Oliver Ridley

---

OIA Designation

Race: Vampire
Gender: Male
Age: 283
Psychological Profile
Sarcastic and stubborn, Oliver is a delight to work with. Suffering from a severe god complex, this leads to him investigating on his own more often than not. He's rather decisive, though some would say impulsive, believing that his first instinct is always right. Having a partner would just lead to arguments rather than getting any work done. Three centuries of living and he still has the social graces of a polished rock. A stunning outward appearance, but he's blunt, crude, and often inattentive.

Despite these traits, he revels in the company of others. This is either due to him wanting to spend time with those he considers lesser, as to prove his superiority to himself, or to the fact that he gets off to the scent of blood. Maybe both. He has proven to be very loyal to those close to him. Make no mistake however, that trust seems to be slowly gained and easily lost. Definitely has multiple grudges within the OIA.

Background
Much of his own history is a mystery, especially to him. He's spent countless decades as countless personas in countless places. A sailor in England, a merchant in Italy, a soldier in hundreds of wars. Over the years he's forgotten who he truly was or where he's come from. He knows that he wasn't always a vampire, but when or where he was turned? A forgotten memory like so many others. Hell, he can't even remember his original name.

His time spent in America, however, has been so long and relatively recent that he remembers most memories made here. Ever since he hopped on American transport as a French stowaway, Oliver has resided in the states for a little past a century now. The longest he's ever stayed in a single country. While there, he's had a knack for witnessing some of America's largest events during the 20th century. He fought in Normandy and Korea, witnessed Kennedy's assassination, and at one point even joined the FBI.

Vampires surprisingly weren't a large part of Oliver's history. Sure he ran into a few on occasion, but as he tended to live in rural parts of the country, away from the blood sources, they didn't show up often. That is until he moved to New Carcosa. His first night there he ran into trouble. Walking into two clans of vampires clashing over their respective territories, he was caught in the crossfire. Needless to say, he had to defend himself from some opportunistic vampires looking to take out a lone enemy. This led to him being seen as an enemy to both groups due to the leaders having a "with us or against us" mentality.

Oliver winded up going to the OIA to seek protection, though reluctantly. He knew that fighting off two of the most powerful vampire groups in the area would've been rather hard to accomplish alone. This all eventually led up to him officially joining the OIA himself. Since then, he's been hard at work trying to topple the various malevolent vampire clans. Especially the two clans he's had the pleasure to have met first, the Devenney and the Moretti. Of course, that's not the only work he's done since.

Notes
He has been known to refuse to drink human blood, instead drinking only that of other vampires or animals. Why this is the case, no one besides him knows. He has an affinity towards the scent of human blood, however, and the affinity has been growing since he's joined the OIA. Recently, he's become distracted when he catches a strong whiff of it from particularly healthy humans. It is suspected that he's gone cold turkey to human blood only recently, and that he might snap at any moment.

@Lucius Cypher I like your CS. I say approved.

@KountKraken Does he have the usual weaknesses?

[datadogie]

Pffft, ignored my one. ;-; xD

[Zelosse]

I'm leaving that one for Templar. Personally, a talking dog would lump itself in with Wendigo. Granted the idea of a wolf professor is hilarious.

[datadogie]

Fair enough. And I loved the idea of making her a wolf professor for some reason.

@datadogie being a wolf would be tricky while working for the OIA as there are certain tasks that being a wolf would make harder than they have to be. My suggestion is either have Aria be a something along the lines of a werewolf or provide her with an assistant. That being said, the assistant would be required to be with her a majority of the time most likely so if you're okay with running 1 and a half characters then that's fine. If you want to flesh out the assistant to be a full character that's fine too. I leave the choice to you just show me the updated version before placing her in Char tab.

@KountKrakenAs Zel said, what weaknesses and abilities does Oliver have? I need to know so I can work out vampires into the world.

@datadogie

Since our characters are in the same division, perhaps Darc could hook you up with one of his familiars as a handler? I'm sure he'll have someone who can disguise themselves as a human and pretty much just be the token human for yo doggo.
