An RP on the website Website/NationStates, featuring players from other RPS such as Roleplay/ElfenHigh, Roleplay/AWorldBeyond, and Roleplay/SuperTeensStuff.
[[http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=129772 Can be found here.]] Run by Nationstatelandsville, a DeadpanSnarker and CloudCuckoolander, and featuring other wackos such as Nightkill, who are characters in of themselves. In fact, one could say that the real people behind this are more cartoonish than the characters.
Founded in 1801 as a recreational group, the New England Paranormal Society (predecessor to the current American Paranormal Society) was a purely recreational group of rich members who hunted monsters of folk lore and the likes for sport. Many major figures joined this secret fraternity, including one Abraham Lincoln. By 1850 though, it had set up branches all around the country, adopting it's current moniker. In 1949, each of the branches were attacked and destroyed by the Soviet equivalent, the Оккультные Investifastions агентства (Okkulʹtnye Investifastions agent·stva), Occult Investigation Agency in English, leading to a series of repercussions that left the country vulnerable to attacks from Soviet-owned monsters. The Society reformed in 1975 with the tasks of protecting both humans and monsters, as well as keeping these creatures hidden from the public view. In the Cold War, it also had the goal of defeating the OIA at every turn. It's USSR counterpart was disbanded in 1988, leaving the Society to focus on it's priorities of supernatural management.The modern APS is a recognized agency of the federal government, though it mainly works of it's own agenda. The Society is the only entirely equal opportunity employer. It will hire ANYTHING that goes through it's courses, passes the final exams, and has been an American citizen for five years, whether they be monsters, aliens, dinosaurs, or just humans. It is housed in four main buildings.
The Lincoln Institution - Located in the quaint little town of Arkham, Massachusetts, this university is where all cadets (aged 18 for the most part) are taught how to work and serve in the Society. A four year term filled with arduous training, intense studying of all fields, and mediocre cafeteria food awaits all who enter these hallowed halls, which have been constructed a top the remains of the original NEPS base.
The Franklin Avenue Building - Seemingly an average warehouse in St. Louis, Missouri, this is actually the base of operations for all of the APS. Teleportation discs, weapons (which range from before the birth of Christ to 200 years ahead of modern technology), robotic assistants, you name it. They're all here. Underground is a resting quarters for visiting agents, an assembly hall, mission assignment rooms, and interrogation rooms for any of those who harbor an illegal monster or break any other law or regulation about the paranormal world. It was invaded and partially destroyed midway through Chapter One. It is rebuilt during the gap between Chapters 3 and 4.
The Lyndon B. Johnson Building - An ordinary building to the naked eye, this is where all decisions concerning the Society's actions are made. Consider it the headquarters of a massive corporation, with the bases being regional offices and warehouses in one. Just with more demons and vampires. Located in New York.
The San Diego Zoo - Oh, it's just a zoo, right? Wrong. Beneath the main zoo is an underground cavern that contains pens for all captured monsters. Some of it's inhabitants consider it a prison, some consider it a haven. They all agree on one thing though. The food is just as bad as the Institution's.
Fort Kennedy - A fortification commissioned by Johnson, another president who was a member of the APS, as a secret location for weapons to be built in case of a war against the USSR. It has since been cloaked by magic, erased from history, and is now the fifth largest APS base. Can be found somewhere in the state of Washington and is the regional base for the Northwest. This is made the replacement headquarters for the APS after the Franklin Avenue Building was seized.
