| Links═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Discussion ThreadThe Plot═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ London has never been a safe place—muggers, thieves, and murderers ran rampant since the growth of the city and it is fair to say that no one has ever felt safe traveling alone, especially at night. Of course, the general population does not know the real reason why London has the highest death count among the large cities. London breeds crime, but it has also always been the hunting grounds for creatures in the dark. To the majority of the population, these creatures don't exist and the damage that they cause is written off as the acts of murderers and serial killers that were never apprehended. But within the Metropolitan Police Force, located at Great Scotland Yard is a tight-knit organization known among themselves as the Order of Praesidia that have full knowledge of the existence of these creatures and exist for the sole purpose of eradicating them from the city. None of the members know exactly how long ago the organization was formed and who the founder was—all they know is that the weapons they use to kill the creatures are powered by an ancient tome that only few have ever seen and this tome is maintained and handled by the "Keeper", a single person that is chosen by the previous Keeper to distribute the power among the members of the Order and to recruit new members as they see fit.
The order has been fairly successful, making sure to keep the creature levels at a manageable level and keeping the death count low enough not to be suspicious. However, their latest Keeper has disappeared without a trace, leaving behind the tome. The next Keeper was never named so there is no one within the organization that knows how to use the tome. Although there is a reservoir of power reserved for this exact threat, it is a finite source and the sudden increase in the influx of creatures means they face the ever increasing possibility of running out of power to fight against the creatures. Along with this, the creatures have begun to show signs of becoming organized under a higher force, targeting concentrated areas rather than the city as a whole. The order needs to find a new Keeper before their power dwindles and the city becomes overrun.═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ The Ranks ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Order of Praesidia The Keeper//The Keeper is the only one who has knowledge of how to utilize the tome to channel the power that is used to hunt and kill the creatures. They also recruit new members into the order and make sure that all weapons that are used are powered.
The Detective Inspector//They hold great influence within the Metropolitan Police Force and often has to use this influence to keep the force away from 'cases' that are opened that has anything to do with the creatures. They are also responsible for making sure that any of the order members is not placed into regular patrols.
Constables//The rest of the order are at this rank except for the rare few who have bothered go through the process of ranking up within the Metropolitan Police Force. They believe that becoming a higher rank is pointless as the order is only situated within Scotland Yard because it is the most convenient to track down and hunt the creatures.
The Creatures Signum//The standard creatures—they are manifested within the shadows and often take the form of demented beasts, commonly of large canines or horses. They hunt down and maul humans during the night, however cannot manifest in daylight and disappear at dawn. They hold close to no intelligence except for the instinct to kill anything that is alive.
Peior//These extremely rare creatures are formed through the cannibalism of their own (the Signum). They can command the Signum to their will and can disguise themselves as humans and manifest in daylight, although it requires more energy and concentration than it is usually worth.
The Humans People that live within London generally do not know the existence of the creatures and those who do are hardly ever believed. The Humans can be ranked within Scotland Yard, however, will rarely patrol with the Order constables because of their detective inspectors.
