SLJ: Supernatural League for Justice
----------World description----------
Throughout history, supernatural forces have influenced Earth's inhabitants. Birthing and changing the species known as humans on an individual level. By the 1900's these super humans had largely stepped out of myth and into the spotlight. Some used their power to help the world, while others used it to challenge the world. This was known as the Heroic age. Events near the end of the 1900's caused mass devastation and isolated forces had to combine to stop the calamity. This organized force of protection became known as the Supernatural League for Justice. Its goal is to put an end to the anarchy of individual super humans clashing. No more heroes, no more villains. There are now only Peacekeepers which represent the SLJ and Earth's interest, and Vigilantes who refuse to conform or actively wish to destroy Earth's natural state of existence.
Based out of the floating city of Sanctum high above rebuilt Horizon city in North America, the SLJ departments for Magic, Religion, and Science monitor and control all aspects of reality around Earth independent of national governments. Super humans from all over flock to this city set aside from the world as a place of sanctuary, security, and recruitment. Many humans rely on the SLJ for protection, while many others object to "being ruled" by a society of aliens, mutants, and other strange beings. While detecting and facing threats from outer space, other dimensions, and even from Earth's own inhabitants, the members of the league must struggle with their greatest challenge of all; trying to live the normal life that was denied to them.

Like a living fairy tale, a young Irish boy named Orion living on an island off the English coast found a dormant dragon egg buried in ruins. The last dragon egg on Earth bound to him and the immortal dragon spirit within made a pact with the child. He would gain its mastery over magic, and in return it would possess his body when he died. Orion found that while wielding the egg on his person, it could grant him the mythical power of dragons. His family soon grew concerned that he might need protecting, and they might need protecting from him. A little boy who could spout fire accidentally was a major risk to the house after all. They sent him to the United States of America where the government was paying to transfer gifted youths. There Orion moved into the Horizon city transfer student school.
Coming across other supernaturally gifted youths being recruited by the government, he soon met Rob, Erik, and Asca. They formed a secret club of heroes while growing up together at the school, fighting crime and protecting Horizon city in secret. By their college years, Orion and Asca had become a couple, and Robert had developed a secret lab for them all. They ultimately uncovered a cult of demon worshipers devoted to Deaborah, Archdemon of deception. The demon sought to possess the limitless power of the dragon, and the cult manipulated Orion and Asca into turning on each other in a ritual of heartbreak. When she scarred his face, the dragon and human merged into one. The cult also sabotaged Rob's lab leaving him for dead, and unleashed Erik's prophesied curse, unleashing him on the city. In the devastation that followed, the city was in ruins, the cult was defeated, and the heroes were all changed forever.
This event lead to the founding of the Supernatural League for Justice to help the city recover from the disaster, and make sure nothing like it ever happened again. In the aftermath, Asca helped bring the twins back from an instinctive rampage to form a lair and conquer the world. Orion is forever merged with Vega, the name of the dragon spirit. The twin identities share one monstrous and powerful form now that cannot be reverted. In the years that followed, the team was reunited and came to work in the floating city of Sanctum far above rebuilt Horizon city. The twins now live with Asca and work as Peacekeepers in the department of magic. While the twins try to find a place in the world, they work together now to make the best of this strange life for their loved ones and all those that they protect.

The Kuroicho clan is a mystical faction of kunoichi that protects its island home from the shadows. One of their newest generations birthed Ascashi, who could harness the Chi in her soul like no other. Something about her personally and bright colorful nature always undermined any attempts to behave with the level of ruthlessness and secrecy that her siblings had. This also spurred many rivalries with her older sister who was an ideal kunoichi. Thus Asca was sent to the United Stated of America to protect her from endangering or being endangered by the clan. The government was paying to recruit gifted youths to the transfer school in Horizon city.

In the years that followed, Asca made amends with the twins and founded her own dojo in Sanctum city far above rebuilt Horizon city. Asca reunited with her soul sister Kimiko from home and they traveled back with the group to save her clan from the oni of vengeance, Fukushu, which secretly gave her clan its shadow powers. Kimiko sacrificed herself to join with Asca in spirit and unleashed her Chi to limitless potential to defeat the oni.

In the poorer parts of Africa, a small village living off of western donations and educational support lived on the verge of collapse. In this village, an orphaned child showed an impossibly high IQ. Rob, as he was dubbed by Americans, managed to fix a broken laptop with no training. This prodigy was not even ten yet and he could learn anything and use any device masterfully in minutes. The Americans saw this potential and funneled their resources to have Rob sent to the United States of America to live a life with more potential in the Horizon city transfer school.

The cult also sabotaged Rob's lab leaving him for dead, and unleashed Erik's prophesied curse, unleashing him on the city. Rigel was mutated by spilled radioactive alien DNA that was killing him. The energy absorbing suit he salvaged together saved him, and he used this technology to subdue Erik and Deaborah by turning their power back on them. In the devastation that followed, the city was in ruins, the cult was defeated, and the heroes were all changed forever.
This event lead to the founding of the Supernatural League for Justice to help the city recover from the disaster, and make sure nothing like it ever happened again. Rigel opened a hospital for supernatural patients and afflictions. He eventually was able to free Erik from prison and redeem him in court as a victim of his curse. He then met Kimiko, and began a loose relationship with the technopathic beauty. When she died to help Asca save their homeland, he went mad with grief, stealing the groups medical samples and fleeing into space to clone her using alien technology. Although the SLJ forgave his crimes for his history of miraculous deeds, his medical license was stripped. Now he lives with Kimiko in Horizon city and they are raising a living sentient digital lifeform the group discovered, nicknamed A.L.

The last of a long line of kunoichi, Kimiko was born with her families hereditary gift of controlling electric waves with the focus of her own Chi. Kimi could feel the energies and hear the minds of other beings, just like her ancestors. However a history of tragedy had befallen all of her family, causing her mother to forsake the clan, and hide her daughter from them. This incredibly powerful gift was never properly made clear to Kimi and she could not suppress it. The villagers only knew of the tarnished history, and the child's strangeness, so Kimiko was condemned as a witch. Her mother in a last attempt to save her sent Kimiko away as a teenager to a paranormal testing institute and ran away.
Kimiko underwent a horrific childhood being a lab rat for a decade and more of testing, experiments, recording, and counseling. When her powers grew potent and dangerous enough, she was able to shut down the institute and escape, leaving behind her home and what few memories she had of her childhood before being locked away. Seeking the only one who was ever kind to her as a child, she traveled around the world to Horizon city to seek out Ascashi, her long lost soul sister, and deepest bond from her life. After reuniting, she met Asca's friends and quickly formed a relationship with Rigel whose genius uncovered her power as a technopath.
Despite developing a great new life, Kimiko and Asca were drawn home by the oni of vengeance Fukushu which would enact a prophecy to possess the kunoichi clans members. Discovering it was her family that summoned the oni to empower the clan, Kimiko enacted a ritual of sacrifice to stop it by joining spiritually with Asca. Everyone was heartbroken despite the victory, but Rigel went entirely mad and stole their DNA into space. There he used alien technology to clone her body with cyborg parts which lured her spirit back to the mortal world. Kimiko used herself as evidence of his miracle and the SLJ forgave his crimes. Rigel's medical license was stripped however. Now he lives with Kimiko in Horizon city and they are raising a living sentient digital lifeform the group discovered, nicknamed A.L.

From birth Erik was prophesied to be the greatest shaman in the world by the indigenous peoples of his outback tribe in Australia. He was able to communicate with animals as easily as people and even shapeshift into them. Fearing the curse that would consume all of civilization, his family sent him away from down under to the United States of America. The government payed to recruit many gifted youths to the Horizon city transfer school. Erik however was unhappy about his new life, feeling unfairly sentenced from birth and now a pariah to all who knew the myth. He soon used his powers to bully and terrorize others until he was outwitted by his future friends.

Erik became a walking storm of divine animal spirits destroying the city. Rigel was able to lock Erik into an energy absorbing suit that turned his infinite power back on himself. Erik was locked away by the newly formed SLJ and remained in self afflicted hibernation for a decade. When he became himself again, he was informed of what happened to him years ago, and how the cult had come back to break him out and unleash him again. A super human monk named Pong however with the gift pure enlightenment met him before he could storm the rebuilt city and cured his storm of rage with a mere touch. Now that the curse his lifted and his mind is restored, Erik must come to terms with living in a new world that was born from his destruction. He lives with his best friend Rigel who saved the world from him so long ago and Orion works with him now as a Peacekeeper making amends to the city for his past.
Spoiler: Scarlett (Partner's OC)
History
Name/Title: Scarlett
Age/Maturity: Immortal
Gender/Sex: Pansexual Female
Race/Species: Demon Succubus
Abilities/Powers: Demonic magic, Shapeshifting, Soul stealing, Winged flight
Affliction/Weakness: Divine vulnerability, Lust dependent, Immoral
Equipment/Items: Demonic toys
Occupation/Job: Barkeep
Skills/Talents: Alchemy knowledge, Criminal knowledge, Demonology Infiltration knowledge
Despite the popular opinions of the SLJ, especially the religious sect, not all things of darkness are evil, and not all things of light are good. Scarlett holds this belief as the foundation of her motives and behavior. As a succubus, she is very familiar with the corruptibility of righteous beings, and the the misguidance of devout beings. Even her own infernal kind can be too much to tolerate, which is why she fled the hellish domains to hide out in the mortal realms. Once she was predictably summoned and bound by one such mortal using her true name, she quickly did everything in her power to break free from his magic, and destroyed any evidence of her name that she could find.
The metropolis of Horizon city called to her as an attraction to all supernatural beings, being the sister city of Sanctum where the SLJ was founded. Scarlett quietly moved into the city and took over a shady multi-business tavern. Rather than try and spread a noticeable influence of crime in the city, she used her services and talents to convince the local mortals to clean up the streets and clean up their act if they wanted a piece of her offerings. The neighborhood became a popular clubbing spot and heroic types from all over stopped patrolling here and started partying here. One such person was Taurius. After seducing him and finding he had more than enough energy and powerful friends to keep her satisfied, Scarlett was exposed just when she thought she had it made.
Being on the wrong side of the law and history all his life, Taurius did not begrudge her nature or actions, sympathizing with a demon refugee more than she could have expected. After introducing Scarlett to his friends, they agreed to let her secret remain as long as she continued to help the city and not kill anyone. The succubus gladly agreed and has made a point to give her new found friends her finest treatment for being in her good graces. In the years since, she has saved Asca from demonic possession, claiming these mortal companions as her own. As long as the demoness maintains authority over her city and her companions, they are protected from further demonic intrusions like the ones that have changed them so much already.
