Basics for a Comic/Story i'm working on with some great friends
Quick Overview of
CRIMSON TEARS - cool name huh?
The world is pretty much today except make it a little more batmanish goth. Add in spirits, werewolves (look more human than wolf) and Vampires along with evil demons and crap like that.
Basics:
TROI: Tactical Recon Operations and Intervention
An underground agency used for national security from supernatural sources and extreme human behavior. In 2034 supernatural presence is actively accepted as a fact and recognized as a threat against humanity. Governments conduct research and create TROI/ equivalents to research and deal with new phenomenon.
TROI Candidates:
Candidates have a few common characteristics. From a young age they feel that there is more going on than they see, and that some how they are different from the people around them. There is a feeling that some great event is happening and for some reason they can't see it but can feel it passing them by. They spend alot of time searching for why and what, and in the process segregate themselves from the rest of normal society. This turns into a search for a place to belong and search for people like them. Usually they end up feeling solitary and isolated.
The problem with finding TROI candidates is that no abilities become apparent unitl after they are dead. All candidates have been through some type of accident where they have been proven clinically dead for the minimum of three minutes. Usually they heal virtually unscarred and abnormally fast. From that point on should our researchers catch it they are put under surveillance by TROI for up to nine months. The period in which any distinct physical traits would begin to appear. Candidates exhibit more and more eccentric and strange behavior as time goes by. This is due to whats become known as the PURGE and the candidate is summarily recruited, through force if necessary.
PURGE:
from the period of death and during the following months after recover the brain of candidates goes through Distinct and Radical Changes. Many of the normal human rationalizations, the ability to ignore the add and not recognize minute idiosyncracies in the people and world around them is destroyed. They begin to see and sense things that normal people do not notice or choose not to notice, this is known as seeing in 4D. The body become extremely active Candidates become restless, hyper active, unable to sleep and loose weight remarkably fast. This is cause by the change in the brain which induces extreme changes in the body, metabolism speeds up greatly and all physical abilities are enhanced by a minimum of fourty percent. Unsupervised candidates normally starve to death as the eating habit has yet to catch up with the bodies need of nutrients.
It is during the purge when candidates become severely apathetic towards everything. Every day normal life and concerns no longer apply. Most suicides occur at this point. After this point when the brain and body begin to stable the apathy wears off partly. Candidates own personality re-asserts itself only more eccentric and intense.
Recruiting: when the Candidate si recognized as going through the purge they are contacted by a trained agent, called a Cleric. They are given two weeks to respond and put under intense surveillance. If no response is given they are acquired by force. usually by a team of four clerics. Usually without incident
Training:
Training is referred to as being 'blooded' it takes takes one year for those actually going to become TROI members and 3 months for those not. The first six months the recruit is not allowed to leave. This time they are physically examined and given immuninity shots. Classes and education on exactly what is happening to them and how to control it and what to expect. Given a large amount of physical conditioning and training on mental concentration. Also trained on blending in to normal society.
After the six month period are allowed out but only when accompanied and must be back before 2200 hours. This is more physical training, combat conditioning and tactics, stealth and basic weapons training. Individual abilities are given deeper analyzation and attention.
After nine months the recruit is allowed out on their own given they have passed the classes so far but must be back by 2200, the last training is how to function as a team and in depth individual training, based on personal abilities.
After the one year mark each Recruit is given a case. Inside is personal Identfication/clearance card. Money and all personal information. A laptop with a retnal and body signature Identification system, linked only to the owner. In the laptop is location of all TROI facilities, known offenders, problem areas and numbers to call for contact with key personel, also a short bio on each TROI member. Then a cell phone for business and personal use. All numbers to TROI facilities must be keyed in then vocal password must be given. Each permanent member is given a classification as a Cleric and a home in the city of their assigned responsibility. All utilities are paid for as well as money for food and all other neccesities. This is on top of a salary earned bi monthly which enhances with job experience and time. Though all Clerics are on 24 hour alerts an can be moved as necessary. This is done on rare occasions and only when absolutely necessary. Clerics are always in teams of four to six and responsible for the security of their area. Back up and extra assistance can always be called for.
Common traits of ALL CLERICS:
Enhanced physicall abilities by a minimum of 40 percent which also greatly increases the need for food.
Clerics can sense the taint on someones 'spirit' Dependingon the kind of life they have ld and things they have done. This is a vague ability that only helps in identifying those who could be suspected of unacceptable acts. Every agent gains personal abilities that grow and change with time and experience. It is common for new abilities to come to light as well.
The first group of TROI to be not only familiar with each other but close friends is Breaker (insert name we should all agree on) having all met in long before and again by coincidince in training they requested to be a breaker together and trained together.
A fact that causes some discomfort in TROI they all died at the same time even though one was half way across the world and how long they were dead is impossible to be determined.
