Take X-Com, add some Pacific Rim, Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D, Dr Who's Torchwood & UNIT and top with a dash of Stargate. Now imagine there are multiple such Agencies, all vying for funding in order to defend the world.

Naturally, everyone's an idealistic idiot.

It started with a military training exercise in Scotland, that very quickly turned into a fight to the death against a pack of werewolves. Literally days after the area got carpet-bombed, a UFO was sighted in Arizona. Fighters were scrambled, but after shooting down twenty-three in four seperate engagements, it escaped into space. Simultaneously in Japan, the haunting of a school in Osaka reached its height when three people were found dead inside a boiler.

Realising just how outmatched the world was, in s many different ways, the Council has created five agencies to protect the Earth from Paranormal and Extra-Terrestrial threats.

Welcome Commander, whilst you wait for your meeting with the Council, could you please fill out the following form?

Spoiler: TOP SECRET (click to show/hide)

Agency Name: (Self-Explanatory)

This sounds like fun! I hope my enemy isn't too broad.

Agency Name: The Round Table Collaboration (RTC when discussing it.)
Primary Location: London, England
Agency Trait: Superior Combat Personnel
Favoured Enemy:  Undead Opponents
Flavor Text: Founded by a descendant of King Arthur, the RTC is dedicated to training Knights in the modern age, and protecting the populace of the world from the beings that lurk in the shadows. Their favored equipment tends to be medieval weapons, teched up to modern standards, so interesting combinations are commonplace. A favorite of the new recruits is the EX-Calibur Mark 2, based on the blade of legend, with a feature for splitting the tip of the blade and firing blessed bullets. The usual fare is a blade and a shield, both easily hidden due to the popularity of large coats in the agency.

Agency Name: Whitewater Incorporated
Primary Location: McLean, Virginia, U.S
Agency Trait: Superior Funding
Favored Enemy: Extra-Terrestrials
Flavor Text: Originally a PMC group that managed to get in too deep. They also managed to get out, somehow. After this minor success, the group transformed. The US and private, unknown investors started paying large sums of money for this group to start fighting "unusual" targets. Most of the work it does now is with a special section, made up of people who already know about the supernatural, although it kept a small part of its normal front working normal jobs. We can always use more money, after all.

Is that acceptable?

Agency Name: Anti-Magic Special Operations Unit (AMSOU)
Primary Location: Australia
Agency Trait: Superior Combat-Personnel
Favoured Enemy: Spellcasters
Flavor Text: Created soon after the reports of supernatural activity, the AMSOU is an organisation that is created and dedicated towards the removal and elimination of 'magical' threats to humanity.

[PiotraperPL]

Is this good enough?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Agency Name: Earth's Technological Advancement Group (E-TAG)
Primary Location: Japan
Agency Trait: Superior Engineers
Favoured Enemy: Anything that poses immediate threat to mankind.
Flavor Text: The Council hired the most competent engineers from around the world to form this organisation, its objective was to improve Earth's technology level and research new kinds of weapons, however it soon turned out that soldiers were not proficient enough in use of said weapons. E-TAG has been expanded, and now serves as both tech research center and special unit training facility.

Looking good so far, something I should've mentioned though is that you're starting with modern technology, so RTC will have to design the EX-Calibur first

Agency Name: FADE (Foundation for the Advancement, Defense, and Expansion of humanity)
Primary Location: Caucasus Mountains, Eurasia (North side, close to Caspian Sea)
Agency Trait: Superior Funding
Favored Enemy: Vampires, werewolves, and others who disguise themselves as humans
Flavor Text: Founded by Walton C. Page, originally of North American descent. FADE's mission statement is that mankind is fast becoming prey rather than predator in the face of relatively unchecked attacks by supernatural and alien forces alike across the world, so their ultimate goal is to put humans back on the top of the food chain by advancing them to such a level that nothing can prey upon them with such ease ever again. FADE's agents are methodical and creative, yet work very poorly with any creature, influence, or entity that does not truly identify itself as human. They possess a partially-underground base dug into the side of the Caucasus Mountains, and rely heavily on experimental technology derived from the traits and specifics of the aliens/supernaturals they manage to kill or capture, although their agents generally use conventional human weapons and devices when on missions in populated areas.

Spoiler: Agency (click to show/hide)

Name: Brownwood Human Relations
Primary Location: New York City
Agency Trait: Underworld Connections
Favored Enemy: Other humans. Cultists, criminals, etc. (is that too broad?)
Flavor Text: Brownwood specializes in dealing with the idiot humans who try to get in humanity's way. This comes from their past, a large crime syndicate that came into control of a sizes blue chunk of the Eastern seaboard's underworld. Eventually, after some negotiation, they decided to help humanity, in exchange for amnesty and lots of guns.

Spoiler: Halberd (click to show/hide)

Agency Name: Halberd
Primary Location: Germany
Agency Trait: Superior Engineers
Favoured Enemy: Kaiju
Flavor Text: Halberd was originally an anti-kaiju organization, but their enemies suddenly left Earth and were never seen again. The organization was disbanded and its assets scrapped, but seeing as how new threats have recently appeared, it was reactivated.

[FelixSparks]

The EX-Calibur is a test model? Is that more appropriate?

[Jamahawk]

Spoiler: EPAA (click to show/hide)

Name: Earth's Protectorate and Advancement Association
Primary Location: Moscow, Russia
Agency Trait: Superior Engineers
Favored Enemy: Intelligent Machines
Flavor Text: The idea for this organization came from a surprising figure, Joseph Stalin. His methods were, to say the least, unproductive. After a certain group, which will be left unsaid, replaced him, they began testing rockets for space flight. This lead to serious advancements in science for both the US and USSR. When the new 'Stalin' died and the Soviet Union fell apart, EPAA continued their work with private funding. They have released many new technologies indirectly. Most machines and computers that exist were designed by the EPAA and sold to various companies, for a very high price and a vow of secrecy, to support the program .

I totally didn't steal anything from Nirur-Torir, what are you talking about?

Anyway, if you want something that isn't on the list, just ask. If it exists today you can probably buy it. You are welcome to spend more money on Military Personnel/Hardware for random bonuses.

After everyone's chosen, we will start turn one.

Edit: forgot to mention, PiotraperPL, your favoured enemy is too broad. Once you've changed that, you're good.
