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...
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.


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


This could be fun.

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


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~

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.

Namie had thought she was drifting in early to the class but it appears that wasn't the case. As she reached the door to her classroom, she stopped just before entering surveying just who had arrived so far. Quite a few of them, surprisingly, but she reckoned it made sense considering the speech from yesterday. Regardless, it made no sense to delay any longer and she finally crossed into her classroom.

Any nervousness she felt, she quickly stuffed away along with her hands into her school uniform's jacket. She might have been the only one wearing one at the moment but things were cold here. Far cooler than home and certainly noticeable to the girl whose sweat glands contained a colder substance than normal. Maybe that's why she outperformed athletically than expected. Maybe that didn't matter at all and it was just Namie's fierce attitude for success. Either way, she knew she could get results and today's class, whatever awaited her, was none different. She was going to prove just exactly why she belonged here.

Her classmates were quiet, sullen or focused for the class probably. This was honestly a welcomed changed from all that casualness yesterday. Not that she minded much but having the others not be much of a distraction for when things really mattered was better than the alternative. Thank goodness there wasn't one of those clowns who just talked and joked out of nervousness. Exhaling through her nose, she pressed on, surveying the little papers until she found her name. Curious spot to place her and she wondered if there was any reason to it.
I guess put me on the wait list too

Namie had her reservations about someone being so uptight. It usually meant they were not fun to be around. howeever, she still shook his hand and formally introduced herself. "Amuro Namie." She stated plainly almost sounding bored with the formal presentation. Thankfully it was Seo who would show a little life in the conversation and get her back into. Cracking a slight smile from his punch, she threw a quick no-look jab back into his arm. Returning the strength he used to throw his, maybe even greasing her punc to hit a bit harder, too. [color=indianred]"Oh you're just saying that because there were no jokes or punchlines. It was a good pump-up speech for the year." She felt somewhat relieved to think the Seo she knew was in there. "So how'd you like it?" She looked over at Osamu expecting his answer to be more inline with her own.

Namie put on a smile as she awaited his initial response. This was supposed to be a happy moment of reunion yet something about this had bothered her. She had heard the rumors that Seo had lost himself through what happened but at the time, it all seemed ridiculous. However when that mouth opened and then closed without a sound, her smile dropped even quietly gasping in shock when he turned to write on his board. She shook the disappointment from her face, masking herself with an easy smile nodding while reading his ecstatic, but written, greeting. "Yea... small world." She responded plainly even trailing off as her mind went elsewhere.

The tour had ended but the pair of them lingered around where it had stopped amid their conversation. This wasn't right. Seo had been so full of life the last time she had seen him but now he appeared as just a mute actor playing the part. Some of that might have been idealizing the memory of him but it hurt to think that those rumors about him were true after all this time. She forced a smile and nodded reading his followup response but the cracks in her expression were beginning to show, inhaling through her teeth as looked away for a moment at a lost for an immediate thing to say in response.

"Ah yea, that's.. good to hear, Seo." She tried focusing again after that momentary pause. There was so much that was unsaid. In truth, she wanted to grab him by the shoulders and shake him asking for the old Seo, the one she remembered to come back. Slap him, even, if that was required. She controlled herself, however, and tried to move on. "Well it will be fun to see how the year works out."

She didn't know what else to say at the moment. There were burning questions and a few lines in mind to attempt to rouse her friend from the past but she didn't want to push. She had even forgotten at the moment that she learned a bit of sign language to help him readjust if he ever came back to the team so he could "speak" to someone without having to write it down. She had wanted to think of something to say but her eyes wandered over to the boy who was lingering near by. It was a lifeline to save this dying conversation as she just couldn't pull herself up to say anything meaningful for him.

That was Seo's roommate, maybe? In which case that was probably explaining why he was here but it was kind of odd. There was no need to be polite, not that Namie saw it that way, instead it was kind of weird to just be standing nearby as if waiting a turn. She hardened her expression a touch but turned to address him... Aia said Seo's roommate was.. Osamu that's right. "Hey." She gestured her head up as a greeting. "I take it you are Osamu?"

Through the course of introductions, Namie had at least deduced that most of her classmates were awkward. It was actually kind of concerning that so many of them were having a problem just being normal or behaved. Why were some of them already causing problems within the first hour of being here? Then there was that brat who was whining about being bored and wanting to move on to the upperclassman. There was a bit of frustration boiling under her skin at the moment but again, since she actually wanted to be here, she had no intentions of causing a problem.

With the group moving, she made pace and drifted over towards the only face she knew. "Hey Seo." She walked beside him, glancing over to him and offering a friendly smile before focusing ahead. If this had been the Seo she knew, he'd have taken the conversation over at this point but this wasn't the same person that was on her team. "...So how did you decide to come here?" It was a valid question and one that safely navigated the potential awkwardness of other questions that might have been to personal to ask of him at the moment. "To Ishin, I mean." Although Namie felt compelled to add that last clarification just to make sure her question wasn't leading him the wrong way.

As Seo would write, Namie would watch a bit as he worked wondering overall how that would feel not being able to talk. A thought that was interrupted when she heard her name, snapping her attention to the upperclassman. So she was rooming with Utsuya Hajo but which one was that? She glanced around trying to remember who went by what name... Oh. Her eyes found the air-head, realizing that her roommate would be that type. Namie turned away, exhaling a small sigh before refocusing on her conversation with Seo. Well... conversation in the unconventional sense.
Batter Up - Namie Braggs




Namie forced a smile but it really ended up making her look entirely unsure about everything in life. What was this girl talking about? Honey? Well not exactly honey but something like it mixing with her fiber goo? She couldn't even imagine the feeling of someone else's secretion on her like that, let alone controlling it. "..Uh..." She muttered but far to passively to interrupt the other girl's spree. It turned to making paper mache? What would that do and how would that work? Namie had no idea outside of just grasping her own power specifics. "...Well I guess I could..." She mumbled trailing off as she timidly scratched the back of her neck.

She raised her hand to motion for a 'no thanks' on the snack offer. "..Uh no I just really need fiber and I ate two cups of oatmeal before this so I think I should be fine." She put plainly but quickly added, "Thanks though." so she wouldn't appear ungrateful.

She wasn't really sure of herself in this capacity. Everything here was just so different but she had to trust her teammates and that was one thing she could understand. With the training exercise commencing, Namie clenched her fists finding some determination in herself now that she had a clear objective. "Alright, I'm ready. Tell me how you want this to go..."
