We've all heard stories about things that go "bump" in the night.
We're the ones who go "bump" right back. Welcome to the freak patrol.



Reality Hazard Containment Unit
A game of supernatural door-kicking

I'm sure you've heard those crackpot theories about the men in black. The guys in spooky black vans and helicopters, hushing up secrets and suchlike. Well, we're not them. The Agency has their job, and we have ours. Ours happens to be much, much, worse. There are people out there who are able to do things that would cause Einstein, Feynman, and Newton to roll over in their graves so rapidly the world's energy crisis would be solved within a month. These people don't obey the laws of our reality. They, well, they bend the world to suit their needs. The weak ones aren't so much of a problem. Street magicians, basically. Little pyrokinesis, some poltergeist shit, whatever. When you go past that is where stuff starts to get real spooky-like. Telepathy, transmutation, time travel, you fucking name it, they've fucking got it. Of course, these people tend not to be law-abiding citizens. The shrinks can't explain why, but there's a pretty strong correlation between warping abilities and moderate to extreme sociopathy. That's why we exist. What the police, or the military, or even the Agency can't handle, we can. We go in hard, fast, and occasionally with a little warper backup of our own, and we keep the streets just a little bit safer.

Oh, you still wanna join us? After that spiel? Alright, let me take down a few pertinent details.

Just to give an idea of what you might be going up against, the official RHCU Classification Guideline is presented here for your reading pleasure. There is some mixing between tiers, but by and large the system works.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Reality Warper Tiers

Tier 0: Average human being. No manifested powers, but may possess great non-supernatural characteristics.

Tier 1: Abilities have manifested in a form many may recognize as “magic”. Able to manipulate low amounts of energy for short amounts of time. Higher-level Tier 1s may exhibit minor feats of pre/hypercognition.

Potential Dangers:

Pyrokinesis
Telekinesis
Hallucinations
Empathic transfer
Hypercognition
Precognition (with focus)

Tier 2: Able to manipulate either greater amounts of energy or less energy for longer, not both. With skill or training, can nullify low-power warping effects.

Potential Dangers: All of the above, plus:

Telepathy
Mech-empathy
Enhanced TK (homing projectiles)
Mass hallucinations
Enhanced empathic transfer (psi panic/pain transfer)
Invisibility (short duration)
Sensory precognition (reflexive)

Tier 3: Able to control great amounts of energy for extended lengths of time. First tier with potential access to temporal manipulation. ENGAGE WITH EXTREME CAUTION.

Potential Dangers: All of the above, plus:

Mass telepathy
Mass empathic transfer
Enhanced mass hallucinations
Contact transmutation (incl. gases)
Contact temporal shunt (short distance into the future)
Short-range teleport
Enhanced reflexive precognition
Contact flesh warping
Individual (focused) mind control
Persistent empathic warp centered around an object

Tier 4: Like Tier 3s, they are capable of temporal manipulation, but Tier 4s are notable for both their ability to violate causality, as well as exponentially improve their warping capability. Left unchecked, a Tier 4 may advance to Tier 5. DO NOT ENGAGE WITHOUT FRIENDLY WARPER BACKUP AS PER REGULATION RH-0457.

Potential Dangers: All of the above, plus:

Transmutation at range
Temporal shunt at range
Long-range teleport
Flesh warping at range
Active temporal manipulation (slow/speed time)
Retroactive travel
Mass mind control

Tier 5: Essentially a god. Omnipresent and omniscient. [UNAUTHORIZED EDIT: Great sense of humor, too.] No confirmed examples exist as of yet.

Potential Dangers: Unknown.

[Spiderking50]

Dibs on analyst!

Edit: Booyah!

Editedit:

Name: John "Whydoeshegetallthecoolshit?" Mclain
Age: 22
Appearance: Clean cut, short brown blonde hair, lean as a track runner, smart and quick to react.
Background: John is a tier one warper who only displays the hyper-cognition ability. THis made him a non-threat and not worth the time of the RHCU. But John was too smart. He wanted to do things to test how smart he was, to really use his gift. What better way to do that than to beat people who had better gifts?
Preferred Role (select one): analyst
Other: Hyper-cognition for quick analysis.

[Yourmaster]

I want dat weapons specialist.
Name: Alex Raman
Age: 20
Physical Appearance: Large, heavyset. Dark hair, brown eyes.
Background: After joining the military for a short time, he searched for something to do with his qualifications. He got lucky enough to get called out to by the RHCU.
Preferred Role (select one):  Weapons specialist.
Other: :Rehto

[Cheesecake]

RHCU FORM 0001/A
Name: Damien Clemson
Age: 25
Physical Appearance: Pale, pallid and bespectacled, Damien is every inch a shut-in. His unkempt uniform and tangled hair belie both laziness and uncaring for social norms.
Background: Having spent most of his free (and not free) time shut indoors, reading conspiracies and occult blogs and articles, it's little wonder that Damien became containment specialist. Apparently, all those Weird Tricks he found online actually work.
Preferred Role (select one): Containment specialist.
Other: N/A

[Trapezohedron]

Spoiler: Resumé (click to show/hide)

RHCU FORM 0001/A
Name: Javier Calderón Reyes
Age: 32
Physical Appearance: Physically fit, brown hair, Hispanic, 5'6". Male.
Background: Was a former member of the Beltrán-Leyva Cartel, Left due to internal power struggles. Promptly disappeared from "existence" to adopt a new identity, albeit briefly as a "Zeta", and more recently as an independent mercenary for much longer, prior to filing this resumé to RHCU.
Preferred Role: Sergeant
Other: Good with long-distance weaponry, able to strategize on the go.

[GentlemanRaptor]

Just need two more players.

[Trapezohedron]

pinging for interest

[ATHATH]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

RHCU FORM 0001/A
Name: Zack
Age: 22
Physical Appearance: Black hair, white skin, blue eyes, male
Background: Zack is a telekinetist, and was pulled from his home at the age of five. He is normally a cheerful, agreeable person, but when made angry, becomes a pragmatic sadist. Somehow he is the closest thing the team has to a diplomat. He likes both destroying and building things, and like vehicles for their ability to carry heavy equipment (whether to destroy or create).
Preferred Role (select one): weapons specialist/vehicle specialist
Other: Class 1 Telekinetist

[Dampe]

Edited.

[Twinwolf]

Character sheet shortly.

EDIT: Here.

Name: Jana Steele
Age: 25
Physical Appearance: A small, lithe woman with glasses, short brown hair, and freckles.
Background: She was walking home from her graduation ceremony from a university in New York, when she came across a squadron of the RHCU doing their work on a class-2. She had seen that kind of thing before, but had been told she was insane. Seeing she wasn't, no way could she pass it up.
Preferred Role (select one): Communications Specialist
Other: Relatively decent with mid-range weapons and explosives.

[Dampe]

"Name: Jana Steele"

Twinwolf, you scoundrel...

[Twinwolf]

Wasn't even thinking of that one, there was a character with the name Steele in the DnD game I'm in on the forums.

[GentlemanRaptor]

Looks like the gang's all here. I'm actually about to go to sleep, but tomorrow I'll get everything set up.

[spümpkin]

Oh dang. I am sad. I just got here and this looks rad.

Spoiler: I'm just gonna leave this here in case anyone cares... (click to show/hide)

Name: TOBORAMAi UNIT #7
Age: N/A
Physical Appearance: The TOBORAMAi is a fully functional com-bot (combat-bot) designed to solve multiple situations. It is spray painted in the paint colour 'Pussy Yellow', and comes with fully opposable arms and thumbs for full gun control. It's arms are solidly built and has sound-proofed foot pads. ((I'm just gonna put a vague example here. EXAMPLE!)) It also comes with a delightful* GPP; Genuine Person Personality. They have been engineered to the highest standards to ensure a sunny dispostion and a bright sounding voice.

Background: It's a robot. It was manufactured in a factory then delivered. In a box. By postmen. Excitement.
Preferred Role: The TOBORAMAi can adapt to many different situations, so it has no specific role. It is gifted with intelligence and accuracy, but is not very fast, due to all the eri---metal. ((I chose the role --- ROBOT.))
Other: sdrawkcab eman sih daer.

*TOBORAMAi may not actually be happy, and may be chronically depressed, as the GPP is quite experimental tech.
