[size=90]Above is a typical add that the Fruit Basket Agency puts up around train stations and such.This is because the land they live in is plagued by Demons. This is also because the retarded Leader of this agency has crap spelling.

It was not always like this, a little over a generation ago Demons and Humans lived in complete harmony. But some sort of thing that can only be described as a plague has reaped chaos on the peaceful co-existence. Demons have started to become crazed, unexplainable anger and hatred turns them into beasts. As a result they have become innately…savage. Some turn into animalistic beings with no bearing on their minds, while others into cunning agents of greed and chaos. These Demons have done horrible things to entire villages and are now feared. But sin has crossed both sides, as Half Demons have fallen victim to a fear crazed society. Hated and even hunted, no Half Demon is left unscarred. But a group of them calling themselves the Fruit Basket angecy has gathered together as a hired blade business. If you have a demon problem, they can solve it. For a price that is.[/size]

Demons are a race that have superior strength, speed, and abilities to that of humans. Many of them are also born with a slight ability, nothing too big. Very limited telekinesis or becoming invisible for a short period of time for instance are some of the things they have been known to do. They have colored hair and eyes that range from white to green and any other unusual color. It is not uncommon for their eyes to be the same color as their hair, they also have pointed ears. Apendages such as horns or unusual skin color may also apply to this race, though usually a more powerful Demon has these things. Like any race they have their own high society and aristocratic ways. Strangely enough those in high society have retained relative sanity and have become rulers over hordes of other crazed Demons. Most Demons have become infected by this ‘plague’, but those who aren’t are usually killed by humans fearing that they might. Those who have been infected group in places where they have either taken over a human town or where they have their own sanctuary. Their is one Demon believed to be in charge of a large number of them, little is known about him other than the fact that he can somehow possess very strong and seemingly unlimited powers. He targets the Monks at times for a specific purpose, searching, but only few know for what.

Since the plague hit the terror hasn’t stopped at crazed Demons. If you manage to kill one of them then it will reanimate into a Goul within the hour. Gouls are ugly S.O.Bs. They are mutated beasts that are harder to kill than a Demon. No amount of Mutilation will stop a Demon from reforming into these creatures. Instead a different approach is needed to ensure that dead Demons stay dead. The Fruit Basket Agency is extremely strong, but fighting a horde of Demons twice and having them be stronger than the first time is far too much for them to handle. Hence the importance of Monks to their operation.

Feh, you all know what humans can and can't do. But I will explain the sort of people they've become at the very least. There are those who make their living as a mercenary (most of those don’t make it past age thirty though), there are the rich who often keep watch over a town or sort, they run things and make sure the trade and economy goes well, there are common people, doctors, teachers, farmers, painters etc. And then there are the Monks.

Peaceful and wise, these temple dwellers are dwindling into few due to their non-combatant nature. They are scholars and philosophers, pioneers to the spirit and world of science. You’d be surprised at what they have found out about souls and energy. For instance, they are aware that Gouls turn because their soul is trapped inside the body, and in that case the plague infects them a second time, morphing their soul into a beast instead, they become a spirit screaming for release and destroying everythi8ng in their path to get it. The monks hold many mystical abilities, and they've added one to their arsenal. Monks can release the spirit of a Goul even before they turn, they call it exorcism. The temples have taken notice of the Fruit Basket Agency and have sent monks to help. The monk that they send acts as transportation, cook, overall maid, and releases the souls of Demons before they turn to Gouls after the agency kills them. In return the agency offers shelter and protection while the Monk investigates the plague to try and stop it at the source. This is really a genial trade off, or would be if the agency actually kept up their end of the bargain. The main temple has sent a total of twelve high level monks to the agency; each is usually dead within four months. It is suspected that this is due to the agencies over all apathy to human life. So for the thirteenth monk, the temple has a surprise trump card that they hope will be able to solve this strange plague once and for all.

With one parent a human and the other Demon, these beings are a cross between the two in appearance and abilities. They are not very common, for although Demons and humans lived together in peace, it was not often that they fell in love. Those who did had hybrid offspring. Hybrids have always had a scientific advantage, they are stronger, faster, and more durable, they can hear better, see better and last but not least their hair and eye color is brighter than their Demon parent. The exception to their strength is that they do not have the special ability or power that their Demon half often possess. They are also unaffected by the plague completely. That has not stopped them from being ostracized unfortunately. Since the plague Half Demons are often mobbed and lynched on sight, If the people are mellow then they at least harass the poor soul. Many harbor a deep and boiling bitterness towards humans and Demons alike, since neither side will accept them. The Fruit Basket Agency seems to be the exception to people, it took a few free assignments to build themselves a reputation, but they did. Now people aren’t stupid enough to let prejudices override their survival instincts, they holler for them at the first sign of infected demon attacks. Although the Agency has been known to charge through the teeth for their service. Failure to pay results in death.

Fruit Basket Agency

Setting
Think like an old western with steampunk undertones. The place this will be held is in both forest-y areas and a vast desert, the towns are much like old western towns in the 'wild west'. Each is individually governed and the trade between all is regulated in there own way. Guns don't do much against Gouls unless they're heavy artillary, while humans stick to them I don't suggest you make your character stick to them unless they so happen to be the long range fighter.

The Characters
The only sort of character you can make at the moment is a Fruit Basket Agency Halfling. All characters must be at least 25 with the exception of Agent Cherry, who is named thusly by the Captain to humiliate him for his own amusement (no ands, ifs, or buts about it!). Agent Cherry is a young lad who I have plans for, so someone please take him! He will sort of be the Captain's Prodigy so yah...

Anyway, another pre-named character is Agent Pear, but you can change the fruit if you want, just let me know! He's the second in command, and he or she needs to be ultra responsible. Not kidding, this person needs to be on the ball with everything because the Captain and the others certainly aren't. Also the Captain and Second in command match eachother in strength, though not intelligence. They are also best friends.

Other than that we need roles such as scout, medic, long range and short range fighter, and also a demolitions expert. So we're looking at about nine members total.Each character must be very good at what they do, remember, technically the Halfings area supperior race.
