@King Cosmos Yes I’m still looking for people to fill some roles. I’ve been dealing with some irl drama so the last day has been me playing catch up with others forums I neglected.

@Fading Memory I'm not in any rush. Things have been hectic on my end as well. tbf I'm not the most satisfied with my own writing on this one at the start so don't feel too worried. I'm hoping to improve as I go along since this is my first real foray into this world and everyone has their own ideas they want to bring into it as well so I'm trying to strike the happy medium.

The Department of Paranormal Activity [TheNocoKid and Theasong]

Name: Nick Hayes
Age: 32
Outfit: Nick typically wears his DPA uniform which consists of a white button down shirt, flak pants, combat boots, and a bomber jacket

Bio: Nick was never one to stand out in the crowd. As a child he hated drawing attention to himself and would often be the loner of the group. As a result, he grew up without many close friends in his life and burying his nose in books and the like. Eventually, he took up a temp job working in a county courthouse where he had the unfortunate luck to run into a class-3 roaming spirit. In this case, it was the soul of a convict who'd been sentenced to death within the courthouse. Nick was saved at the last minute by a DPA officer who, rather than wipe Nick's memory, saw his potential as a member of the force and recruited him to join the secretive organization. Now, Nick works as one of the main officers for the DPA and is a decorated ghost hunter.

Weapons: Nick's weapon of choice is the S.E.E.K.R. a high-powered revolver that fires specialized soul-killing bullets that eradicate a spirit from both the astral plane as well as our world. In addition, he carries a variety of tools depending on the type of ghost he is dealing with. (I.E. holy water, wooden stakes, sanctified steel, etc.)

"I wouldn't worry too much. This is just gonna be a routine extermination," Nick said with a sigh as the car began to slow to a halt. "I've tangled with Goblins before. The only time they were ever a problem was the Hopkinsville Incident, and the upper brass want to make sure that NEVER happens again." Getting out of the car, Nick proceeded to open the trunk and withdrew some items they'd need for the upcoming extermination. Among them, he grabbed a clip-board and a forged U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service badge. He then turned to approach the house, flipping a signal for Thea to turn invisible. If the people in the house proved uncooperative, standard procedure would have Thea possess them to comb their memory and then wipe it once they had the information they needed.

When he reached the door, Nick gave it a stiff knock that echoed in the darkness of the night. After several moments, a middle aged woman pulled the door open partway. She had a frail build and mousy brown hair pulled back into a bun. Nick smiled as he flashed the badge that he'd tacked to his shirt.

"Good evening, Miss. Sorry to bother you at this late hour, but I'm with the Fish and Wildlife Service. There was an issue involving an oil spill a few miles south of here and it's causing some of the animals in the area to migrate. We're just running a survey to see if you've noticed anything... unusual in the last few days?" Based on her expression, Nick wasn't altogether sure she was buying his story, but he hoped the official-looking nature of the badge and clipboard could make up for his explanation.

A pair of blinding white headlights cut through the darkness as a solitary car sped down the two-lane Kentucky highway. Inside the car, Officer Nick Hayes kept his eyes squarely focused on the road. Hayes was frustrated to be called out to Kentucky on such short notice, but sadly for him, the Hopkinsville Goblins were back. Nick was an officer for the Department of Paranormal Activity (The DPA). About 45 years ago, the U.S. government had discovered the existence of another dimension that was housed by the "spirits" of humans and other creatures who had departed from earth. While they were "mostly" separate, some ghosts managed to cross the barrier and return to our world, but many were the worse for it. The process eradicated what sense the spirit had left and often turned them into mad and rampaging monsters. The Goblins were a group of spirits that popped up in rural Kentucky every few years. They weren't a major threat, but they could cause serious problems if they got out of hand, which was why Nick and his partner were hot on their tail. As the car pulled up to a lone farmhouse just off the highway, Nick turned to his partner and groaned. "Jesus, Thea... can you not stick your head through the window while I'm driving? You know that creeps me out..."
