 What's going on?
After a long day of your day job your cell phone rings. Looking down at it you see 'restricted number' flash on the screen. Curious you answer and it is your boss from your more... interesting night job. "Where are you?" The demanding female voice asks. You reply with your location. "Get yourself to the department, if any of the other operatives are with you bring them." With that the call is disconnected. Confused you pocket your phone and begin to make your way to the office. Game Plan
You are part of a paranormal investigation team. You and your teammates go on special cases to put the dead to rest, save the living and live to see another day. As you progress into the story your equipment improves as do your 'communication skills'. There will be a list of 'Missions' to choose from. Your character (or team if you have formed one) will talk with 'The Boss'. These missions may range anywhere from a 'boogie man' to a 'bat out of hell' in difficulty. Each of the missions will be color coded so no worries!

The Equipment
Rookie kit:: EMF reader, basic voice recorder, standard night vision camera, enough short range walkie-talkies for your group and flashlights.
Basic kit:: Two higher quality EMF readers, two higher quality voice recorders, above standard night vision camera, 3 mile walkie-talkies and longer lasting flashlights.
Advanced kit: Three master quality EMF readers, two high quality voice recorders, expert night vision camera, 5 mile walkie-talkies for the entire team, slightly ghost resistant flashlight, black box.
Expert kit: Three master quality EMF readers, two master quality voice recorders, two expert night vision cameras, 10 mile walkie-talkie for the entire team, mostly ghost resistant flashlight, EM Pump, black box What does this even do?
EMF readers: Electromagnetic field detectors. Takes the readings of the magnetic fields in a given area. Anything above a positive 5 is in the 'ghost zone'. Everything else is considered electrical
EM Pump: Little box that generates electromagnetic energy to help manifest spirits
Voice recorders: Captures EVP's (electronic voice phenomena) and can play back what the ghosts say and other noises.
Digital Recorders: Similar to voice recorders but are more sensitive.
Cameras/Night vision cameras: Capture still images and video of possible paranormal activity. Night vision camera can do both in the dark.
In-fared Camcorder: Digital video recorder that sees in this ray of light that can pick up on spirits better than average video equipment.
Full Spectrum Camcorder: Digital video recorder that sees in all rays of light (ultra violet to in-fared) that picks up on spirits are easier than the previous installments.
Full Spectrum Still Camera: Digital camera that sees in all rays of light and only takes pictures. Very easy to capture shadows and orbs.
Walkie-Talkies: Form of communication when in separate locations of a mission
Flashlights: Object capable of lighting your way through the dark.
Black box: Looks something like a 'price gun' with a set of goggles attached to it. When the goggles are over the user's eyes they can see and hear words that the spirits are using in the vocabulary data base in the 'price gun'.

Rules
Like every role play there are rules. There are few but must be followed.
1} Read over EVERYTHING in the first few posts
2} When filling out your character skeleton PM it to me with the subject as 'Things go bump in the night'
3} Put a ninja in your PM so I know you read the rules
4} Please be literate. This means no text language unless your character is texting.
5} Lets try to keep the ball moving at all times. This means to post as often as possible.
6} If your character wants to be 'haunted' message me and we'll discuss
7} In the beginning no one can play as ghosts. Unless you have a character who has lost loved ones and wish to have them reappear in their lives you may play as that person. But they need a profile!
8} Demons are locked until the first 'Bat out of Hell' level mission is unlocked. Character Types
Techie: Master of the technology in the group. Doesn't go hunting for ghosts but monitors the electronics.
Psychic/Medium: Communicates the easiest with the dead, is sensitive to anything that isn't living.
Historian: The history buff that knows the background knowledge of the location of the mission.
Priest: Goes with the groups with the arsenal of holy water, bible and the power of God to vanquish evil. (Mostly needed for the 'Bat out of hell' levels)
Investigator: Most common member. Goes in with equipment in hand ready to kick some tail
Ghost: Can be repeating ghosts or ones for the run of the mission. Most are nice but some can be just plain evil
Demon: At higher levels these nasty guys show up. May God be with you.
Succubus/Incubus: Maximum of 2 per gender of this race. These guys (or gals) are spirits of lust and often can be found at places with... questionable actions. Popular locations to find them are bars, clubs, street corners, or any place dark magic has been used. Character Skelecton

Improvements
Most improvements are aimed at historian/priest characters as well as ghosts and demons with their communication levels, possession levels and exorcism levels. Improvements come as you earn experience with all the missions you complete and the little favors you complete for Boss. First let me describe the human improvements. Historian improvements: General knowledge (learn the ability to read body language and can get a better understanding at what people are and are not saying), location knowledge (learn the ability to know the information about the location of your mission), event knowledge (learn the ability to know past events that happened at the given location), and lastly ancestral knowledge (learn the ability to know about the property's past owners, the current owners and anything to do with people on that site). Priest improvements: Demonology (have adept knowledge of demons), exorcism (be adept at rescuing poor souls from demons and free homes of foul spirits), power of prayer (customizable prayers that can repel, summon, or destroy spirits/demons) :Ghost, Demon, Incubi/Succubi Improvements:
Communication level~ The higher this stat is the easier it is to communicate with the living.
Exorcism level~ The higher this stat is the harder it is to be removed from a person or place
Possession level~ The higher this stat is the easier it is to take over someone's body

What is Cryptopia?
Cryptopia is a society founded by Boss to help those who are plagued by the paranormal. How did you set up this place?
Boss took out a business loan for a law firm.The law firm wasn't meant to be however. It was never in Boss' intentions to have lawyers walk through the building, but investigators, scientists and believers of the supernatural. Thus Cryptopia was set up to aid those who are plagued with the supernatural and wish to be free. How is business going?
Business is booming as a matter of fact. Because it is doing so well, Boss has expanded the technology department so they can create new equipment for the investigators. What do you even do here?
Investigate claims of supernatural happenings, advance technology, and assist the American economy

Additional information
* You are allowed more than one character. Each person involved in this RP is allowed a maximum of five characters. I suggest having a few different character types rather than all the same.
* Special Quests are missions that often need only one person or can give a team of characters brownie points with Boss. Enough brownie points will get you better equipment
* Later on I will mention to each of you how many points your character has and how many it takes to get better equipment.
* If you are a knowledge like character (i.e Historian or Priest) your improved equipment will be extended knowledge of a given topic. Example; the priest can be more in depth with demonology then the idea of exorcism.
* If you are a ghost or demon; your improvements go toward your communication levels, possession levels and exorcism level requirement.
