Super powers, magical beasts and supernatural occurrences have all been pushed back into the realm of fiction and fairytale since the rise of technology and faith in logical explanations. But that doesn't necessarily mean that science proves that these things
don't exist. In fact, that gentle chill you feel after walking into an empty room or that sudden fatigue feeling after passing someone along the sidewalk may not be as normal and scientifically sound as one would think. The supernatural is alive and well, living among us and hidden in plain sight. By why keep it a secret if it is so
common? Well, let's think about it this way. Look at the humankind track record. Anything different from the social groups they create tends to not only be ostracized, but criticized and even worse. They become the pariah of the world. Now amplify that, say, times 200. Mass chaos right there. And this is why, good fellow, such things as INVICTUS exists hidden in the shadows, just waiting for
something to happen.
Oho and something
did happen, my soon-to-be-good friend!
Whatever you did, you caught the attention of the secret organization. They picked you up (possibly, most likely) knocked you out, and
somehow implanted a contingency trigger inside you. You are met with (roughly) the same greeting as every other agent over the centuries. In a dark room, you find that moving is rather impossible at the moment. You are bound somehow. You might be slightly disoriented still. Who knows only but you. Regardless, you hear a voice. For some people, it was a male. Others, female. Either way, they leave you with a message very similar to this:
[roleplay=#242424]
Welcome __________. You have been granted the opportunity of your lifetime, to join INVICTUS. My apologies for the semantics... You have no choice of decline in the matter. Starting tomorrow, you will become one of the many agents among our ranks. Oh?
Don't make that face. You work well for us, and we'll gladly take care of you and ALL of your needs.
Haha, well... I'll just give you the rundown. You lend us your power, and we will allot you freedoms you desire. That's it! Simple as that. Granted... your life--body, mind and soul are ours now, but that's just a minor detail. Tomorrow you will be given your badge and bag of necessities. Once the Higher Ups are sure of your compliance, we'll grant you a residence space. If you so happen to be non-compliant, well... we do have some VERY nice holding cells downstairs. But please, no need to be hostile.
Not yet, at least. Assessments and training will begin later this week. Congratulations, new recruit.[/roleplay]
They know your name. They know just about everything about you. Or what there is to know about you.
How? Where did they get this information? Well, INVICTUS operatives have their ways. Even if they seem like a big joke, you know deep down inside yourself that they aren't joking. They're serious when they say that you
will join their ranks. Whether you like it or not. Whether you are compliant or not is up to you. But from this point on, you are now an official agent of INVICTUS. You will come to find that many will end up falling into their roles quite comfortably. There are certain amounts of freedom that INVICTUS allows their agents that society and the rest of the world just does not. Over time, you might come to thank the organization. Instead of a kidnapping, they might just have become your saving grace.
Anyways, welcome to
INVICTUS.
