It was the year 2020 when they first appeared in our world, signaled by strange occurrences we now label as supernatural. They are known as "youkai," spirit-like beings with various powers and abilities. Soon enough, the United Nations assigned the United States and Japan, the countries with the most youkai emergencies, to create an organization that would be responsible for the capture and research: the Supernatural Forces Survey. The SFS was structured like a military organization, its agents bearing primary authority in Japan and the United States as well as throughout the entire world. They classified these youkai into four types: Aetherus, Daemon, Phantom, and Specter. Only five Aetherus exist, and they were the first to appear in the world followed subsequently by the thousands of Daemons, Phantoms, and Specters that suddenly appeared in our world. Although it remains undiscovered that the five Aetherus had children with humans, various other youkai had begun to do so beginning the year after. It was as such that the SFS took some of these children in to be trained as soldiers and trackers, as well as test subjects if they were unfortunate enough. It has been 19 years since the first of the children of the Aetherus was born, and it is now 2039. Most of these children have grown up and many who hadn’t before now realize their powers. As one of the Aetherus emerges again with a rather dark disposition and another aids the SFS to further their own goals, the world will become a battleground.

Species Basics
The Aetherus
The Aetherus are held at a high standard by the other youkai, and seem to be the de facto leaders of youkai society. Very little is known about them, other than they seem to be aligned with aura, earth, fire, water, and wind respectively.

Daemons
Named as such because of their similarities in their true forms to those of demons, daemons all share some influence over fire, though it varies widely- from projecting fireballs to being impervious to flames- between each daemon. They can survive without being bound to an object and can maintain a corporeal form as long as they wish.

Phantoms
Phantoms do not possess objects, instead relying on the ability to switch between corporeal and ethereal forms almost instantly. All phantoms are capable of rendering themselves invisible, often using this trait to slip by humans unnoticed or to scare them to hell.

Specters
Specters cannot maintain a corporeal form for no longer than a few hours and need to be bound to an object to survive. Once possessing an object, it becomes their home. However, a form of symbiotic relationship is established as the object possessed by the specter is greatly enhanced past its initial condition and will never decay. Specters are the most benign of the youkai, and often cooperate with humans who take care of their homes.

Half-Youkai
The half-youkai are the result of humans and youkai interbreeding. A half-youkai is born with the abilities and some of the innate traits of their youkai parent, although they may be dormant for years.

Regarding the Supernatural Forces Survey
- SFS Divisions
-
The SFS is divided into three major departments: Supernatural Research Division (SRD), Youkai Capture and Containments Forces (YCCF), and the Corps of Engineers (CE). There are also various other departments, such as Public Affiars (PA) and the Logistics Division (LD). Each of these is lead by a Director, while the SFS itself is overseen by a Chairman. They are as follows:
-Chairman (General) James Icarus (SFS/U.S. Air Force)
-Director Rondo (SRD)
-Director (General) Ichiro Kai (YCCF/Japanese Army)
-Director (General) Isaac Orson (CE/U.S. Army)
- The Supernatural Research Division
- Lead by Director Rondo, who is one of the five Aetherus, the Supernatural Research Division (SRD) is responsible for the research into the youkai's original realm as well as youkai themselves. With projects ranging from experiments with youkai as test subjects to attempting to pass through realms, the SRD takes on a large variety of tasks at once.
- Youkai Capture and Containment Forces
- Led by Director Kai, the Youkai Capture and Containment Forces are responsible for tracking down and fending off youkai and half-youkai in populated areas as well as caretakers for youkai in captivity. Most half-youkai who were taken from there homes long ago serve in this unit, and all who are wholly or partly youkai who work for the unit have an assigned handler.
- Corps of Engineers
- Lead by Director Orson, the Corps of Engineers (CE) are responsible for creating new inventions and innovations the SFS utilizes against youkai as well as to study them. But make no mistake: this engineering corps runs like any other and bears similar duties.
- Ranks
