<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Shadow Hunters</strong></span></div><br/><br/>Kidnappings has occurred throughout the city in recent times, reports of missing women happening every week. Nightly sightings of monsters and creatures of darkness, or 'shadows', by the witnesses were common but reports sporadic as they themselves soon became captives of these creatures. It appears that men and women were soon victims of possession, with rumors that there were humans among the ranks of the shadows. Whether they were serving through possession or with the purpose of malice, that remains to be known as the authorities struggle daily to contain the incursions, as the public tries to maintain their lifestyles as the city came under siege at night.<br/><br/>Who are these creatures, and where have they come from? What is their purpose in capturing humans, and where are they taking them? Rumors speak of a strange howling in the dreams of the citizens, where they would hear a strange howling and creeping presence around them for an entire hour while dreaming. This torment seemed to have sapped their strength, causing a loss of productivity among the workers of the city, as if the disappearance has not affected them enough!<br/><br/>Information Sheet (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IM680TTh7b0ZLsFdmItzDj4GFpOG8iFvcpHuxKB0ToE/edit?usp=sharing)<br/><br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Chapter One - Tokyo, 2017</span></strong><br/><br/><br/>Information - Tokyo, Japan, 2020<br/><br/>Population - 13,000,000<br/>Shadow Presence - Medium (20 sightings the past 30 days)<br/>Shadow Infestation - Light (5 civilians missing the past 30 days)<br/>Shadow Possession - Light (1 confirmed possession the past 30 days)<br/>Shadow Hive - Unknown<br/>Shadow Lord - Unknown<br/><br/>Shadow Hunters Guild - Established<br/>Shadow Hunter Strength - 200<br/></div><br/><hr/><hr/><div class="floatright">(https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/dnsea/images/f/f0/Digger_Goblin.png/revision/latest?cb=20120815193343)<br/><em>Oh my gosh, a Goblin!</em><br/></div><strong>February 13, Night Time</strong><br/><br/>Valentine Day's Eve. A time where plenty of couples would prepare for the next day's meeting with their lover, a time of romance and the occasional copulation between horny young men and women. It was said that the Shadows were often attracted to the pent up lust of the human being, as well as the purity of the innocent female. Such were the profiles of those reported missing over the past few years, with the general populace worried about the presence of 'shadowy beings' despite the official government stance on the non-existence of such creatures.<br/><br/>However, such creatures exist, and the authorities had been busy. Today was Valentine Day's Eve, and it was also the time where the Shadow Hunters, a secret organization of elite girls trained in the arts of combat, magic and trickery were the most active. Initially a force of ten females, the Shadow Hunters had grown substantially over the years, now numbering nearly two hundred Hunters among the organization in Tokyo. These girls patrol the streets in disguise, always ready to react to Possessed Individuals, as well as Shadow Presence. Whether taking the initiative to investigate on their own, or form strike teams to engage the Shadow, each girl was trained and equipped with a core of magic, their equipment easily summoned from the Vaults in their Headquarters, all through a single thought.<br/><br/>Indeed, these girls live relatively normal lives as civilians, but the threat of the Shadow was never too far away. With a single thought, their equipment would form around them in a shower of mana, empowering the girls with the ability to fight with their equipment, specially designed and improved by the boys who lacked the magical ability, but were the best of the best in theoretical sciences battling the Shadow!<br/><br/>The synergy of boys and girls would be called in once again this night! For a shadow stalked an office lady returning from work, looking forward to meeting her boss for a dinner after work. Dressed in a tight skirt with a matching blouse, she was oblivious to the hidden<strong>goblins</strong>hiding by the bushes! Radiating dark Shadow energy, these pawns of the lowest order were weak, but fast and many! Their speed displayed as they pounced on the woman, dragging her struggling body into the park where half a dozen of them awaited, their reproductive organs all ready to be satisfied through the sexual energy of another human!<br/><br/>However, while the muffled cries of the woman went unheard, the Shadow Hunters were already on the move! Four girls, each charged with energy, were tracking these goblins from their ascent through the sewers. Now that they were distracted, it would be a good time to attack!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">There will be no to-hit rolls involved, rather a system of contests would be used.
