The State of the World

Session zero: Where find ourselves at the time of character creation.
Date: The day after tomorrow.
Location: Anywhere around the world, planet Earth
In the year 2020, two plagues struck the world. Everyone was aware of the Novel Coronavirus. But most were not aware of the second, the spawning of supernatural creatures of the night. There were perhaps a few thousand nightspawn at most. This made it a statistical nothing. However, the impact of each was so noteworthy as to elevate nightspawn to an even greater concern than COVID 19, at least to the people who were aware of it.
All the arcane and mystic societies of the world were not equipped to "manage" the nightspawn becomings around the world so suddenly and in such numbers. In the back rooms of the United Nations, agents of various nations' supernatural watchdog agencies worked out a cooperative agreement. They would each provide specialists to form teams capable of handling the nightspawn threat. These teams are supposedly independent of the various arcane and mystical societies, but no one is naive enough to think those societies don't have their own plants on the teams.
There are currently 117 people on fourteen teams whose job it is to investigate supernatural occurrences and resolve them as quickly and with as little collateral impact as possible.
These teams are comprised of all manner of people. From veteran soldiers and special agents to priests, nuns and monks, arcane wizards, psychics, shamans, assassins, and even other nightspawn, the collection is assorted to say the least. There is even an actual authentic Nazca Linemaker on one of the teams.
