The Bureau of Paranormal Investigation[edit]
Known as the BPI or simply the Bureau by those who work there, the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation was founded in 1947 in the wake of the infamous Roswell Incident. The Bureau's purpose is to investigate anything outside of the ordinary, including but not limited to reports of extraterrestrials, cryptids, psychic phenomena, and anything not explicable to modern science. Put simply, they deal with the weird stuff.
In the decades that followed, the BPI slowly developed a core of talented and dedicated agents, even as it disappeared from public knowledge. It remains little known to this day, and is considered an undignified and low-status agency by its peers, the domain of crackpots and misfits. Nevertheless, it retains its status and government funding, due in part to certain highly-placed individuals who know some of the truth. Although nominally an offshoot of the FBI, the BPI functions as a semi-autonomous agency, coordinating with the FBI only in extreme cases. BPI agents often pass on information regarding mundane crimes to their FBI peers, earning their grudging appreciation.
Notable NPCs[edit]
- Chesed Maestro, head of the BPI's Welfare Division.
- Dr. Robert Stoddard, specialist in parapsychology.
- Peter Daugherty, police detective.
- Umit Kaplan, Null psychic and combat instructor.
