Everything you've ever heard of is true. Everything.
This may take a while to sink in. Let's try it one step at a time. Yes, the supernatural is real. There are ghosts, werewolves, vampires (at least four different kinds), and an assortment of monsters that can only be described as the stuff of nightmares. All real. And yes, aliens are real, too. We are not alone. Some are helpful. Others are harmful. Some just see a way to profit.
Every religion, every god, is not only valid, but real. We run into both angels and demons often. Reality is constantly shifting through so many different frames of reference. Trying to keep track of it all is an insane task.
But one we must pursue regardless.
That's what P.A.R.A.'s for. We were originally founded in the early 50's to keep Russia from aquiring the truly great powers in the world - powers that would make the atomic bomb look like a pebble tossed into the ocean. After the Soviet Union collapsed, the mission changed. We now had to keep the secrets from everyone. The reasoning is sound. If people knew how reality really worked they'd be constantly terrified. Paranoia would lead to witch hunts (with only a few actual witches getting caught), and life would be chaos. The only way people will get on with their lives is if they think they know what normal is.
Because normal is anything but.
This is where you come in. You are all capable of doing bizarre things that count as either supernatural or superhuman. Anomalies, we call you. It's a relatively new phenomenon. Whatever makes the world such a mecca for supernatural activity has started affecting people. Or maybe it's been at work for years, and we've only just now gotten the technology to notice.
Regardless, you've gotten our attention and we extend to you a rare invitation to be a part of the "Fire/w/Fire" Initiative. Instead of locking you up or disecting you, we request your services in exchange for a better understanding of the nature of Anomalies at large.
If you're interested in finding out about yourself, fighting monsters, and saving the world, board the pale blue bus when it stops by your house.

Requirements for the RP:
My biggest ones are simply no Godmodding, no hi-jacking other characters, and WATCH YOUR GRAMMAR. This last one I take very seriously. When I read through an RP, I think of it like a story written by numerous different authors from numerous points of view, and spelling and grammar errors ruin that.
Character sheet:
Name:
Gender:
Age: (Don't push it too young or too old. You're all new recruits, but hopefully you have some training already.)
Former field: (What did you used to do? You can be anything from an ex-marine, to making coffee at Starbucks.)
