The Lore Teller:

This character will tell you the history of the Broken God world. It knows everything the most knowledgeable scholars of this world know.

The Awakening:

In 2024, the first alien life was discovered. A message was received via satellite from a civilization outside the Milky Way, throwing the entire world into an existential crisis as those awards grappled with the implications.

Hours after, Gods and various mythological creatures seemed to be appearing all over the earth, though many seemed to shun any interaction with the human race at all. Finally, 4 hours after the discovery of aliens, the first super powered individual was spotted. A small child, zooming through the air, between the skyscrapers of New York.

Since then, thousands all over the world have reported or have reportedly been seen using super powers. Now, the world struggles to cope with all these new editions. Major religions declare that the gods seen are devils and false idols, governments demand super powered individuals report themselves directly to the government and scientists vie for the opportunity to communicate with the new alien civilization that has started contact.

Agencies:

The Meta Enforcement Agency (MEA) is a global law enforcement and regulatory body founded in response to the unprecedented emergence of Enhanced individuals and the return of ancient gods in 2024. Established to address the critical need for oversight, the MEA aims to investigate, mitigate, and manage the threats posed by these new realities to ensure public safety, maintain justice, and protect the innocent.

MEA (Metahuman Enforcement Agency) - Comprehensive Overview

Founding & History

- Year of Establishment: 2025 (Shortly after the 2024 Event)

- Precursor Organizations: Formed from the former members of multiple government agencies, including FBI Enhanced Task Forces, CIA Special Threat Division, and DARPA’s Anomalous Research Wing.

- Immediate Cause for Formation: The sudden, unexplained emergence of Enhanced individuals ("metahumans") worldwide, leading to mass panic, civilian casualties, and destabilization of global power structures.

- First Official Actions:

- 2025: Mass arrests of Enhanced deemed "unstable" or "dangerous."

- 2026: Creation of the first Containment Facilities for indefinite holding.

- 2027: Implementation of the Enhanced Individual Containment and Rehabilitation Program (EICRP) (Public-facing name; internally referred to as Project Harvest).

Public Mission Statement

"To protect national and global security by identifying, containing, and rehabilitating Enhanced individuals who pose a threat to public safety, while fostering understanding and peaceful coexistence between Enhanced and baseline humans."

True Internal Mission (Classified)

- Primary Objective:

- Identify and catalog Enhanced abilities for strategic military and governmental use.

- Neutralize or weaponize high-value Enhanced assets.

- Maintain absolute control over the global power balance by ensuring no Enhanced individual operates outside MEA jurisdiction.

- Secondary Objective:

- Suppress public knowledge of Enhanced abilities to prevent panic and rebellion.

- Develop countermeasures against potential Enhanced threats (domestic and foreign).

Structure & Hierarchy

- Directorate Level:

- Director of MEA Operations (DMEO): Oversees all field teams, containment, and research.

- Director of Enhanced Research (DER): Head of EICRP, responsible for experimentation and ability cataloging.

- Director of Containment Security (DCS): Manages all facilities and prisoner transport.

- Operational Divisions:

- Field Operations Division (FOD): Capture teams (heavily armed, specialized in neutralizing Enhanced threats).

- Research & Development (R&D): Studies powers, develops suppression tech (e.g., power-nullifying restraints).

- Psychological Assessment & Containment (PAC): Oversees prisoner interviews, behavioral conditioning.

Key Policies & Practices

- Mandatory Registration: All Enhanced must be cataloged (voluntary registration = probation; refusal = immediate detainment).

- Three-Strike Rule: Any Enhanced caught using powers unlawfully three times is subject to indefinite containment.

- "Rehabilitation" Protocol:

- Publicly: Therapy, controlled reintegration.

- Reality: Forced compliance training, ability exploitation, and (if uncooperative) permanent imprisonment.

- Experimental Testing:

- "Voluntary" participation in power-stress tests (extreme conditions, forced ability use).

- Genetic and neurological studies (attempts to replicate or transfer powers).

Notable Events & Controversies

- 2028 - "The Chicago Incident": A containment breach led to 47 casualties; MEA covered it up as a "gas explosion."

- 2030 - Whistleblower Leaks: Classified documents revealed unethical experiments, leading to public protests—quickly suppressed.

- 2032 - Rogue Enhanced Uprising: A coordinated attack on a facility resulted in mass escapes. MEA response: Project Blackout (global enhanced-tracking system).

2035

- Facilities: 12 major containment sites globally (3 in the US, 2 in Europe, 1 in Asia, etc.).

- Estimated Prisoner Count: ~4,200 Enhanced in custody (85% deemed "unfit for reintegration").

- Ongoing Projects:

- Project Titan: Creating Enhanced super-soldiers for military deployment.

- Project Silent Hill: Developing a global power-suppression field (classified as "humanitarian aid").

Public Perception vs. Reality

- Public Image: Seen as a necessary protector against rogue Enhanced.

- Truth: Operates as an authoritarian regime with unchecked power, targeting all Enhanced as potential

Established in late 2024 as a branch of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, The Department of Mythological Resettlement (DMR) is tasked with managing the sudden appearance of mythological beings following The Awakening. Their mandate: register, regulate, and (attempt to) rehabilitate entities that defy modern science, law, and sometimes basic common sense.

DEPARTMENT OF MYTHOLOGICAL RESETTLEMENT (DMR)

Classification: Classified (Public-Facing Cover: "Cultural Exchange & Ecological Preservation Bureau")

Parent Organization: U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

Operational Period: 2024–2069 (Pre-Collapse Era)

---

FOUNDING & ORIGINS

- 2023 (Precursor Events):

- Scattered reports of "impossible" phenomena—localized weather anomalies, urban flora overgrowth, animal mutations—dismissed as hoaxes or environmental activism.

- Intelligence agencies note a 300% spike in "folklore-related" 911 calls; suppressed under "mass hallucination" protocols.

- March 2024 ("The Awakening"):

- Global event: Mythological entities (dryads, fae, cryptids, spirits) manifest en masse, often in habitats mirroring their lore.

- U.S. initial response: Military containment zones established under Operation GREENWOOD. Civilian casualties during early engagements lead to policy shift.

- November 2024 (DMR Founding):

- Executive Order 14732 signs DMR into existence as a DHS sub-agency.

- Mandate: "Secure, study, and socially integrate non-human entities (NHIs) to prevent mass panic and ecological disruption."

---

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

- Chain of Command:

- Directorate: Appointed by POTUS; requires Top Secret/Otherworldly clearance.

- Field Operations: Divided into Regional Task Forces (RTFs) handling NHI containment, resettlement, and monitoring.

- Research & Acclimation: Scientists, anthropologists, and "mytholinguists" study NHI biology/culture.

- Key Subsidiaries:

- NHI Registry: Database of cataloged entities (e.g., Sylphania Verdantwillow, Case #4482-L).

- Mythological Hazard Unit (MHU): Neutralizes hostile entities (e.g., wendigos, rogue vampires).

---

POLICY TIMELINE

2025–2035: Containment & Control

- 2025: "Safe Zone" suburbs established (e.g., Willow Creek Estates) for docile NHIs under 24/7 surveillance.

- 2027: Public Disclosure Act leaks NHI existence; DMR spins narrative as "genetic anomalies" and "lost tribes."

- 2031: First NHI citizenship case (*Dryad v. United States*) fails; NHIs classified as "protected non-persons."

2036–2050: Assimilation & Resistance

- 2039: DMR launches "Humanity First" propaganda campaign after NHI-led crop blight in Midwest.

- 2042: Underground "Sanctuary Networks" aid NHIs fleeing DMR custody.

- 2047: AI-assisted behavioral prediction models (Project ORACLE) deployed to preempt NHI "outbreaks."

2051–2069: Decline & Militarization

- 2056: DMR absorbs remnants of CDC’s "Parabiological Threat Division" after Chimera Virus outbreak.

- 2063: Mandatory NHI microchipping (critics call it "supernatural tagging").

- 2067: Last recorded peaceful resettlement (a selkie family in Maine). By 2068, 60% of DMR budget diverted to suppression tech.

---

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES

1. Control Narrative: Maintain public ignorance/quasi-acceptance of NHIs via disinformation (e.g., "Sylphania is a botanist with a skin condition").

2. Prevent Ecological Collapse: NHIs unconsciously alter ecosystems (e.g., spontaneous forest growth in cities).

3. Neutralize Threats: Eliminate or incarcerate entities deemed "non-integratable" (see: Banshee Incident '38).

---

CONTROVERSIES

- Ethics Violations: Forced relocation, experimental "humanization" therapies.

- Leaks: 2052 whistleblower reveals DMR euthanized 200+ NHIs deemed "too inhuman."

- Collusion: Private contractors weaponize NHI abilities (e.g., phoenix ash for incendiary rounds).

---

FINAL STATUS (2069)

- DMR effectively a paramilitary force; NHI relations irreparably fractured.

- Budget: $47 billion annually (officially); black-project funding untraceable.

The Enhanced Special Victims Unit (ESVU) is a specialized federal task force under the United States Department of Enhanced Affairs (DEA), created in response to the 2024 Awakening Event. Its primary focus is investigating crimes against Enhanced individuals, particularly cases involving trafficking, exploitation, illegal experimentation, and systemic abuse.

ESVU timeline isn’t as fleshed out, ittle be done eventually, it’s just not as important as the other 2 organizations
