The U.N put together a sort of Mythological intelligence agency as a sub division for the paranormal research division. Elite agents, well versed in the mythical arts were hand picked from all over the glove. Their job is basically meant to make sure that an ancient pact between humans and mythological creatures is kept, sort of a you stay out of my way I stay out of yours scenario. IF this were to be broken, it would lead to mass chaos and a global apocalypse as humans and mythological creatures try to eradicate each other. The story begins on all of our first missions, where we have to investigate some up stirrings in England made by the infamous spring heeled jack. During which we discover intel concerning the kidnapping of several mythological creatures into what appears to be a secret army.
Long story short I guess you could call it, Shield meets Hellboy meets a less lame version of power rangers without zords and skin tight spandex.

Mine was told to go by his dad several minutes before the agent arrived...dragon universal wisdom I guess, I don't know about everyone else. I'm assuming that Philote was tracked down somewhere in the himalayans, and that Wulf's character was found in an arabian bar of sorts, or given his dislike of people, the desert....It would be best to add all of these stories into opening post, then continue the story from when they are first dropped off in England.

==Character== Gereon Of Hamelin =Height= 5 "2 =weight= 118 pounds =Gender= Male =Chronological age= Difficult to say. From his point of view, it's been at least four long nervous centuries.. =Biological age= 16~ =Skin color= Caucasian =Hair color= Brown =Eye color= Blue =Species= Human(Changeling) =Other= Generally, he seems aware. Like he's carefully watching everything and everyone around him, just in case.. Psychology =Likes= Solitude, Being able to relax, Listening to stories, Non-classical music. =Dislikes= The (Slightly Insane) Piper, Know-It-Alls, Technology (Which he is sure hates him) =Phobias= Heights... =Personality= Generally Gereon is rather quiet. He prefers to stand back and observe before speaking. He does have a sense of humor, though most people don't care for it, He likes to feign ignorance when people ask him to do things and takes them literally. ALWAYS be specific if you want him to do something. He's not much for sudden outbursts or being visibly emotional much. Trust his instincts. If he ducks, hit the ground. If he runs, start sprinting like you're being chased by demons. Skills =Knowledge/skills= German, Some Latin, History and Folktales, Fairy Laws and Psychology. (He knows their rules, weaknesses, how they think, and what they can and can't do.), When to duck and flee. =Field= Recon, Covert Activities, Transportation. Innate Abilities =Changeling= A human changeling is basically anyone who's been stuck in the fairy world for an extended period of time. Fairy Glamor- Allows him to "Blend" with his surroundings. Anyone who looks at him will think he's someone or something that should be there, a tree, a janitor, a dog walker.. Magic Sensitivity- Makes him sensitive to the use and presence of magic and most magical mythical beings. Unfortunately, this also means that magical effects will be more effective on him. Second Sight- Glamors and illusions will seems less solid and real to him, he can even catch glimpses of invisible things. Captured Species Data The Piper A mysterious fairy creature. The Piper's species has no real formal name. All that's know about them is that they have extreme power and specialize in hypnosis and mind control. Because of their power, they are under the strictest laws of any of the fairy kind... Especially after what they did to Atlantis.. Note that Gereon only has a partial scan of The Piper, so his abilities are mostly limited to the hypnotic aspect of their powers. =Powers/abilities= Hypnotic Playing- Any and all songs Gereon plays will have a mesmerizing effect. He can put people to sleep, make them forget things, cause them to follow him, even make them dance.. Gateways- Gereon can open a partial portal to the fairy world and make use of the fluid space and time of the place to let him move from place to place almost instantly. (Basically, he makes an entrance portal, squishes the space between it and the desired location, then makes an exit portal.) Mesmeric Immunity- Gereon is immune to any hypnotic effect that uses song or music as a medium. (Such as siren songs) Glamored Music- Layering the illusionary glamor on his music, Gereon can make people sense things that aren't there. While he's doing this, his songs loose their hypnotic allure. Weaknesses Iron- Most things from or relating to the fairy world don't like iron much. It screws up their magic and throws up sparks if they ever touch it. Ouch. Promises, Contracts, and Agreements- Gereon can't break a promise without feeling pain. Despite their chaotic nature, fairies are weirdly true to promises. They might use loopholes to make you regret you opened your mouth, but never just break off an agreement. Technology- Generally, Human Technology and Fairy Magic don't mix well. The scanners for the government are something of an exception. Possessions Silver Pipe- Though it's not exactly magical itself, it cannot be permanently lost, stolen or forgotten. It will always appear whenever it's needed, though only when you're not looking. Bag of Pixie Dust- Despite being little more than glorified fairy dandruff, Pixie Dust is rather useful. Blown in the face, it can induce sleep. It can also turn visible things invisible and vice versa.

Yeah, Arabian bar. He was, uh, "allowed" (he compelled the barkeep) to stay in the tavern for a few days until he could think of a place that would suit him. He finally found a place he thought he'd enjoy.
California. He thought that because it had "Calif" in it, that they meant "Caliph", as in a head of state in a Muslim government. But it was JUST THE OPPOSITE. It was noisy, and bright and colorful, and full of weirdos that acted nothing like the people of his land; they even ELECTED who they wanted to govern over them! So, when the government tracked the dimensional disturbance of him being sent to earth, and found him, offering him a way to get away, he jumped at the chance.

Oh yeah forgot to add he's also good at archery and uses that instead of a gun because he doesn't like guns--because it can be used against him but less people would know how to handle a bow---going by his logic....

For mine, It's simple.
The Piper got bored and dumped him in front of whatever agents there were to see what would happen. It's not the weirdest thing that's happened. The Piper is rather impulsive, Once he decided that he wanted everyone to be ducks.... Some of them were still quacking for months.

kinda odd that he's NOT really...none of our other characters are really even hero material other than Wish's...
