Premise
This scenario takes place in an alternate reality of our world where various supernatural creatures exists. Vampires, Werewolfs, demons, ghosts etc. Over the years the general public mainly those in the in large populated cities have been made unware of these creatures who for the most are believed to exists only in myth and fiction. While smal villages tend to be some what aware of the creatures in the night. The government of course has knowledge on what is out there and does everything in their power to ensure it is kept out of public knowledge, going as far as to make deals with some of these creatures and covering up certain atrocities. Still there are those out there who are very much aware of these creatures. There are many organizations out there who are dedicated to dealing with the monsters of the world. Your character will likely be one of them, a person who somehow became aware of this secret and is getting involved in it. Of course not all these supernatural creatures are evil and there is good that comes out this underworld, it's up to you to figure out which is which.
Story
Basic Outline
📷
The scenario begins in the City of Dogma, the Capital of Bolyver. Over the past couple of months people across the city have been disappearing without a trace. These people are of different race, social class and stature. There seems to be no motive, no trace, no clues or witness to how this happened and who is behind it. Its as if these people were simply wiped from the face of the planet. The mayor suspects something supernatural is involved and has sent out a request for help as he has no one capable of dealing with the supernatural. It is up to you to find whoever is behind this and put an end to these disappearances.
The Sunatism Church
You go straight to the Cardinal who summoned you once you enter the city. "Thank you for coming. I'm not sure how much you have been told but I will tell everything I know. " Says the Cardinal. "Over the past 10 weeks 9 people have gone missing and then found dead. They are always taken on the Monday of the week. And by Sunday their remains are found. And by remains, just their bones and eyeballs. Everything else seems to be missing. Some of these 9 people where members of the church and so I know their families. The police have no clue on who is doing this or how to stop them so I had to request help. I have felt a dark spirit in this city and I just know whoever is behind this cannot be human. I will offer up whatever help I can, please put an end to this."
The Order of Mages
You go to the location of the person who requested the mages for help. You end up going into the underground tunnels of the city. You suspect it could be a mage in hiding but when you arrive at the location you find a goblin.
"Hello, bet you weren't expecting a goblin huh. I know we are known to cause a lot of trouble and lie but this time it's serious. You see 9 people have been killed in this city and one of those people was my brother. He had shapeshifted into a human a year ago and was living as one for almost a year. And then he went missing. A week later his bones were found still in his human form. We Goblins are shapeshifters so we aren't as easy to kill as regular humans but it seemed to make no difference. So I know I can't avenge my brother but I thought maybe you could. I know the Order of Mages helps nonhumans too on occasions. So please find out who did this to my brother. I will tell you what little I know."
The Lincoln Organization
As you enter the city, a police officer takes you straight to the Mayor and Commissioner. The mayor is first to speak "Thank you for coming. As I'm sure you know our city has had a problem for the past nine weeks. The citizens are terrified and quite frankly my assurances of their safety are no longer working. I have asked the government, the FBI and just about everybody for help and gotten no results. The Sunati Cardinal are stirred up quite the uproar with his talks of a demon. Frankly I don't know if I believe in that stuff but I have heard your organization can deal with such things. You will have the entire city police and their resources at your disposal. Anything you need will be provided by the Commissioner here and you will compensated appropriately when this is all done. "
The Mayor then leaves you and commissioner. "Well then I will leave you to it. I was opposed to bringing you here, I think we just have a plain serial killer on the loose and none of that demon nonsense. But the Mayor's in charge so me and my officers will help you however I can. "
The Shenteng Clan
The Clan enters the city first while the rest of you follow. "This is your first mission. Remember your training and be vigilant. I can already sense several dark chi's in this city. I will be observing you, not helping you. While there are many threats to be eliminated, remember the main task is the one causing these disappearances. Focus on finding who it is first and for most. Learn the last known location of victims, study how they were taken and learn whatever you can. Find this beast before another life is lost. Now Go!"
The Uninitiated/Monster
The city is large and populous, plenty of places to explore or the hide. The entire city seems to be living in fear because of recent events, there seems to be an ominous presences hanging in the air. There are cops everywhere, and something is clearly wrong. You heard rumors of a killer on the loose, a potentially supernatural killer and that was what brought you to the city to begin with. Now you can either find out what exactly the situation is and try to fix it, or take advantage of it. One things for sure, this is going to be quite an eventful time in the city.
Shops and Currency
The currency you will be paid in and can use to get new items will be gold bullion. Special stores only accept this currency. You can trade it for the real currency of the land but it will not be useful for most of your needs. There are a few shops within the city open to monsters, mages and humans alike. The secret underworld is open to you, simply learn how to find it.
Another Night in Dogma
It's another night, a night of continuously looking for answers that still has done no more than to keep Dettlaff coming back to Dogma and keeping himself in this cesspool he calls Society, a resentment he's brought back up due to the disappearance of his mentor. When Dettlaff discovers anything that resembles any sort of clue to B'Chuku's whereabouts, Dettlaff doesn't hesitate to pursue. Dettlaff has came up empty-handed for the most part which lead him back to Dogma. So Dettlaff uses his other worldly powers back to use and goes back on the hunt that can tell him anything he can follow up on his mission. Dettlaff making his way to one of the Inns, Dettlaff notices the amount of cops patrolling and showing extra vigilance that can resemble any sort of potential while at the same time listening to their conversations and police chatter to pick up a trail to follow. At that time, nothing worth following was said so Dettlaff continued to the Inn. But this wasn't the standard homey and good willed Inn though as this one was more for those on the side of mischief and malevolence. Finding the right spot to avoid being confronted but also be aware of the Inn's surroundings, Dettlaff focuses and sees or hears anything that can be worth the follow. Just as it so happens, Dettlaff overhears mention of a gang on this side of Dogma that has been attempting to take advantage of the disappearance going on, giving their names a rep to give more connections to the bad side of this city. Dettlaff waits for when the man whom gave Dettlaff's these clues to momentarily separate himself from his posse. And when that happens, the man realizes he's on the roof outside unaware of how he even got there. And as he turns around, his neck feels the grasp of something inhuman with tremendous strength. Upon seeing Dettlaff's face, this man feels and understands fear like never before as Dettlaff demands:
"You will tell me everything you know on this gang who's been making a name for themselves in Dogma human.... NOW!!!"
The man tells and gives Dettlaff anything he has on this gang, revealing themselves to be the Beasts of Dogma with the Gang Leader egotistically naming himself The Beast as an attempt to make themselves appear worth a damn to other criminals. Finding this man to be rather irrelevant and useless upon receiving any and all info, Dettlaff grabs him firmly with both hands and rips him in two to the point where his innards are left dangling from both ends with Dettlaff throwing both halves off the Inn's roof, showing the city more proof and belief to what terror befalls the City of Dogma. And with that, Dettlaff makes haste to their apparent location with hopes of finding anything on B'Chuku's whereabouts........
