Here is the OOC for the roleplay guys. Please post up your skeletons here from the Interest thread and when those who have expressed interest have done so, we'll make a start.
I'll make the first post, which'll be a sort of introductory post to the roleplay, and then you guys can make your posts to tie in with it. From there we'll just go in the usual way.
In this roleplay, I will be taking the effective position of Storyteller and NPC control. This may sound odd for Roleplay Gateway but it should work fine. You will have control over your characters and what they do, I will merely sometimes set the scene, and describe reactions to your actions from those around you and for the NPC's you interact with.
I have decided to call the agency Caomhnoir which is Gaelic for Guardians. If anyone thinks of a better name I am willing to change it.
Background
Caomhnoir has always existed, since before time began and until time ends there will be Caomhnoir. No one knows of its origin nor how it really operates. It has many bases in many locations, and sometimes in the oddest of locations. In the time before Christ Caomhnoir took control over many gateways to different spacial areas and other plains of existence.
Since the first time of Dannan (Irish colonization of the Gods somewhere in Earth's early history) they have had control and maintenance of gateways to the Feylands and planes of higher magical power.
When Columbus landed in America, Caomhnoir had already long ago made contact with the Native Americans on the West coast, and in other areas of the Americas.
When man reached the stars, Caomhnoir was watching humanity, and has always been since that time.
They are not aliens, and they are not superior beings. As far as anyone knows most Caomhnoir agents are just a little more bizzare than others. What is known is that they have spent millenia setting themselves up to guard, protect and serve other beings. Aliens exist, and strange other worldy places also. Caomhnoir have no special interest in humanity, but they are one of the many species they protect.
Caomhnoir's main interest is law enforcement and peace keeping. They achieve this goal through a variety of means they have had to learn over the years. Magic, divination, science, spying, time travel and generally being carefully placed at the right time to intervene, or to simply tip things toward the balance. Or off it and into chaos, when necessary.
Caomhnoir are mercurial and hard to understand not because they make themselves so, but because by their very nature and essence they have to be, and have become so. They do not know everything, they cannot do everything but they have spent so long learning how to stretch their reach, they have become quite adept at it in ways most have little knowledge of.
As important Caomhnoir agents you know more of Caomhnoir than most do, but that hardly says anything. One piece of common knowledge is that at the heart of Caomhnoir, there is always a being of non-essential existence and ethereal presence, no one can be quite sure what it is but everyone simply calls it Caomhnoir. It has a mind, it has a personality and it does talk to people. It monitors the paths of communication and seems to always be around.
First Post
In my first IC post I plan to introduce you all to Caomhnoir, and have you given your necessary equipment for being an agent. This will be your first day as full agents, and the day you all meet each other. In a PM later I will roleplay with each of you how you first were contacted by Caomhnoir and how you get to the place it all starts. Then I will post the first post, from which we can all start roleplaying. Thanks for joining guys, and look out for PM's very very soon.
When the end seem to justify the means, you've tried too hard to find an excuse. When 'by any means necessary' means 'violence may become necessary' you've lost sight of your goal. When people lay down and die rather than endure any more suffering, worry for the state of humanity. When people do not comment on how wrong this is, become angry at the world, because feeling that upset is too hard to bare. When people say 'you care too much' don't answer, because there is no such thing.
