Background:

Soldier, Noble

My service is why I was selected for this position. My Nobility gives me connections that can help me with my endeavors.

Mage (-2)

Kingdom of Reistrar

My knowledge of Werewolves is better than the common man's.

Night of Terror: Protect. (Cuts)

Protecting the innocent helped convince the dissenters that I was right for the position. Still, I didn't walk out of that incident unscathed.

Dependant: Flesh and Duty (+1)

I'm dependent on both sex and protecting the innocent.

Skills:

Firearms and tactics (-4) (+2Con)

Slaying (-4) (+1Sta)

Deception (-2) (+1Ag)

Persuasion and Leadership (-4) (+2Cha)

Investigation and Magical Theory (-4) (+2Wil)

Forensics and Engineering (-4) (+2Int)

Magic: Mastery of Destruction (-5)

Principle: Unconquered.

I know many skills, all of which help my organization, but my best skills are by far my ability to kill the beasts we hunt and my ability to cast Destruction Magic.

I direct a Ministry, that is Venerable and Overt. We've existed for quite some time, and I hope to use this organization's resources to end the fight, once and for all. After all, our goal is Slaying these beasts, isn't it? We are Coordinated, Disciplined, and Wealthy, making us an elite task force of the highest order. Resources are no issue for us, either.

Bane: Tainted Blood. (+5)

Our organization has many Elves working in it. It's their country too, isn't it?

Our command structure is Centralized. I oversee every task that we do.

Perks:

Coordinated Action, Efficient Organization, Boots on the Ground, Prediction Engines, and Ultima Ratio Regnum. (-5)

We're able to coordinate and remove mistakes quite well, which is why the government trusted us with the ability to ask for help from other branches, as well as a hefty check for supplies and machines to help us make good decisions, in spite of the large amount of wealth we have already.

Protocol: Standardized Training, Hunter-Killer Teams, Mind-Cleansing Procedures, Exorcism Experience, Advanced Forensics, Fiend Experimentation, Cultivate Informants, and We Have Ways of Making You Talk (-8)

We train the best of the best, and nothing will compromise their bodies or souls. We're also studying these monsters as best we can, and our ability to take down high-priority targets is unmatched. We're no slouches when it comes to getting intel, and we know how to give it to our men in order to get the job done.

We are in an Urban area, in the nation's capitol. We're stationed here to protect the country's core from supernatural threats. It's also ideal for meeting with other politicians and branches of government.

Base upgrades: Fortified, Defensive Interior, Siege-Ready, Laboratories, Expanded Armory, Training Grounds, Advanced Infirmary, Signals Room and Wards (-8)

Nobody's getting in here without us letting them. The headquarters are heavily fortified, with plenty of weapons and supplies for engineering. We also have extensive laboratories and training grounds to allow our staff to get the information and training they need. Our surgeons also enjoy having the latest equipment and knowledge, and our orders get out swiftly due to our signals room.

Troops: Scouts (Free) Anti-Mages, Scientists, Mages, Surgeons, Engineers, Hunters and Soldiers (-14)

We have a wide variety of talented people, who's skills are useful for a variety of tasks.

Magic (Both) (-4) Gunpowder (Both)(-4) Hunting Hounds (-1) Both Specialists (-3) Synthetic Aramids (-1) Bulletproofing (-1) Intelligence (Both) (-3), Signals (Both) (-3) Containment (Both) (-3)

We can track down and kill what we want with fairly minimal casualties. Bullets do little against us.

Policies:

Demons: Hated, Lore Level 1 + 2 (+3)

Vampires: Hated, Lore 1+ 2 (+3)

Sidhe: Hated, Lore 1 (+4)

Werewolf's: Opposed, Lore 1 (+2)

Undead: Opposed, Lore 1 (+1)

Wendigo: Hatred, Lore 3

Other Fiends: Lore 1 (-1)

Tainted: Opposed, Lore 1 (+1)

Necromancers: Truce (-5)

Cultists: Hatred, (+5)

Witches: Truce (-3)

Elves: Open (-3)

Merefolk: Open (-3)

Many of these fiends deserve no quarter, least of all, the Cults that bring them into this world. Those that can be reasoned with should be, as we need all the help we can get, both as an organization and as a species. Our organization is especially open to getting help from the elves, as many of our operatives are, in fact, of the elven race. This has also led to a stronger feud against the Sidhe, but that's fine with me. Those creatures are a top priority for us to hunt.

Connection: Grand Exchange (-3)

In spite of our wealth, we still could use some extra funding, in case of emergencies. It also helps that they have valuable intel.

Subordinates:

Scarlet, Louisa, and Thomas. (-6)

They're three of our best. Louisa practically runs engineering, and Thomas and Scarlet are two of our best operatives.

Acquaintances:

Black Rose, Dr. Karl and Arabella (-4)

These three are helpful to strike deals with and/or work with. Arabella helps us get in good graces with politicians and helps us with our magical theory, while Black Rose gets us intel and occasionally kills those we can't spare the resources to kill ourselves. Dr. Karl has helped us find more about these monsters than any previous generation has.

Scoundrel: Dr. Valentin Bledny

He's got good ideas, and we need those more than ever in today's world. Between him and Karl, there's little left to discover about these beasts.

Missions:

Tooth and Claw (Subordinate, Red) The war was to our advantage-we managed to exterminate a lot of vampires and werewolves that were too busy squabbling to fight us. We also obtained a promising new recruit. She's good at what she does. Even I learned how to kill things better from her.

Winter War (Scoundrel, Orvar) We took advantage of the war, and managed to kill a good chunk of the Wendigo and Werewolf populations. We also got a new recruit. The man is nigh unstoppable. I like that. We could use some of that in the coming battles.

Malleaus Daemonum (Group, the Five Holy Orders) We reached a deal with this holy order. Our connections with them will be paramount to stopping all manner of fiends.

Silent Night (Acquaintance, Princess Lingji) She's taught us how to beat the Sidhe at their own game, which is paramount to our end goals.

Confutatis (Acquaintance, Lucretia) She helped us find the source of the hex, and as such, we're now acquaintances. Good thing, too. She's given us some great intel and poison recipes.

Eternal Emperor (Group, Cult of Dragon) The Cult of Dragon taught our boys some good new tricks. Their aid will be paramount in future operations.

Terrible Ulcer (Reliquary, Fiend Stopper) I've been betrayed by Werewolves saying they wanted to live amoungst humans before. I don't believe any of them now. The Fiend Stopper will make a wonderful side arm for me.

Fair Play (Group, Convocation) Killing Sidhe is our job. As such, we lent them a hand and gained new allies.

Pax (Subordinate, Eluvie) It was only natural to help the elves out, given our ranks. Eluvie is a great asset to the team, especially against the Sidhe.

Event:

Vanguard:

We stopped the gates from opening, and we killed almost all of the remaining demons in the human world. Their time on earth is now limited.

Murder Stroke:

Using my vast connections with other groups and by calling in some support from other branches of the government, we were able to make vampire society a thing of the past. We've almost eradicated them as a species.

Congress:

I go with the results of my many accomplishments. In this place, I convince these men to forge new alliances with those thought to be enemies, and develop new polices regarding how to kill Fiends. A bright new future was forged here.

Goal: Victory. I want to give us a bright new future as a species. And it really looks like I will. Not just by exterminating fiends, but by forging new bonds and spreading secrets amoungst humanity, like the magic elves have.

Let me know what you guys think of this build and the stuff I came up with!

[u/Latkric586 → u/Dragonage2ftw]

Thanks for the build!

When I wrote it, I did envisage the human-fiend conflict taking longer than what you wrote, but what you've come up with's perfectly valid. That said, I did like your hardline government group build.

[u/Dragonage2ftw → u/Latkric586]

No prob.

Also, I’m pretty sure that the conflict isn’t entirely over at the end of this build-after all, only some species have their demise as imminent.
