FEDERAL BUREAU FOR UNSOLVED CASES

_{16 MAY 2022.}

ATTENTION ALL PERSONAL

SKYWATCH reports that at approximately 20:34, ███████ produced an
anomalous event impacting a localized region around Shelby,
Montana. The site as been contained by a RSTF and initial estimates
speculate 512 individuals killed and 102 missing. The remaining
population appears unaware of the event, including recollection of
the deceased or missing.

Details at the site indicate that ██████████████ and that the
████████████ has been opened. All staff are advised to be on alert
as a Catalyst Class event has occurred and the frequency of
anomalous events are expected to increase.

You are employed by the Federal Bureau for Unsolved Cases. While officially this is a division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to pick up cold cases, that is merely a cover for the department's true mission. The FBUC investigates anomalous and unnatural phenomena. They are the best and only defense to our world from unidentified. As an agent of the FBUC you will be expected to find and contain any anomalous objects so that the greater population at large is not threatened. Expect to encounter the mysterious and to explore the truly unknown and incomprehensible.

WELP.



Let's make this bread.

[Vega7285]

This could be fun.

Are the characters expected to be primarily mundane, or more unusual?

@Vega7285

I am going to leave this open to the players. You want to be unusual, you go right for it! _{It'll just be stranger for you~}

[sassy1085]

I'm interested!

[DruSM157]

So what's the head-count for the team? I see it's a small-group RP.

Also, does every character an FBI agent? Just trying to get my head around a character for this one.

[Inertia]

I'll also place tentative interest here!

I wanna see the full thread, cause it seems very interesting and SCP-esque.

@DruSM157

If I need to I'll make a second team but a max number of eight players I think. Two teams of four.

An FBU agent, but basically yes. Your character would have been recruited if one of the following critera was met:

[1] They are safely anomalous and deemed too valuable by the Bureau to not utilize,
[2] They have encountered an anomalous event and have proven extreme valor in that event,
[3] Or have been in law enforcement at any level with distinguished career and have little to no meaningful relationships in their life. This means you aren't married, have children, etc. As the nature of this work requires secrecy, it is easier to promote individuals who don't have intimate connections. _{And less people to ask questions about your death}

@Pirouette

Perfect, I have a character in mind that fits criteria 2. Wunderbar!

[mickilennial]

I have a historian concept somewhere.

[Balalaika]

My love for the game Phasmophobia was just revamped by this idea. Definitely interested!

[mantou]

I just thought of a clairvoyant-type for this!! Agree with @Inertia, looking forward to see the full thread : )

Nature of Expression: What is your anomaly? How does it work? How does it react? Please describe in detail.

Containment: The Bureau has procedures to alleviate the dangers of anomalies. What procedures are you expected to follow for containment? (NOTE: complete control of anomalies is impractical given the irregular nature of these. Therefore the following is considered:

Risks: Degree of your control? Does it react violently with certain conditions? There are dangers to all anomalies. List your dangers.

Test Scores:
Strength: -/10
Intelligence: -/10
Psychology: -/10 (Degree of resilience to anomalous effects. If you are anomalous you will naturally score lower here)

Remarkable Skills: You will be trained up on all relevant Bureau abilities to be passable. However, are there any you excelled at? Are you an excellent shooter? Skilled lock picker? Tactician? Mathematician? Anything can be considered if you are a maestro.

---

Personality: Briefly describe.

Service Record: Why were you considered for the Bureau? How has your performance been since joining? Also, if there are any note-worthy events in your life before the Bureau please also describe them in here. A summary of where you were before the Bureau took interest can also be important.

Oh look at that. Something for you all to start planning.

All characters are US citizens as the Bureau focuses on the United States.

Due to the nature of the Bureau, you wouldn't know too much about the operations. The character sheet is a blank easel for you and any glaring issues I'll ask you to correct. You are free to invent anomalous events and objects and develop your own story concerning them. However, I reserve the right thereafter to use them for potential encounters.

EDIT:
I added a skill section to the character sheet. Anything your character is excellent at just might come up later...

[Asura]

But can I use weeb pictures? Very important.

@Asura

Just kidding don't shoot me.

A more realistic portrait is preferred here, though.

Also as some have already done so and to my surprise that I actually like, please PM me your characters when you feel they are about finished. Anomalous especially but even if not, I would like to take a look at them. Just to see what's up.

@Pirouette

So more like a casting call for a Netflix series than an anime. Got it.

[MST3K 4ever]

You have my interest. I will try to get a CS together in the next 24 hours.

@TGM

I have another RP idea for anime if you wanted to hold out for that.
