"We are having reports worldwide of strange wolf like creatures attacking people in the streets. These savage creatures resembling 'werewolves' are overwhelming our police forces and are killing mercilessly. So far nothing short of explosive ordinance has stopped these creatures which we are horribly unprepared for. Wait! We are getting reports that silver can kill these monsters. We urge viewers to stay inside and lock your doors as th- OH GOD ONE OF THEM IS IN H- AGGGHHHHH!" -News report on the 25th of January also known as the Day of the Wolf.
Day of the Wolf is an action/horror RP based around the retelling of the events of the famous Delta team and their actions in the days before, during and after the rest of humanity discovered the truth behind supernatural beings.
Dubbed the Day of the Wolf, Blacklight went global, serving as mankind's 'Last, best defence'.
Every member goes through considerable mental and physical training and is normally chosen for a unique skill they have.
World and Blacklight:
Spoiler:
The year is 2015 and almost the same as what we live in now. Over the last five years Blacklight has received more funding to deal with the increase in supernatural and mythical attacks. But Blacklight is much older.
Originally formed after the Crusades by the Knights Templar to safe guard humanity against the horrors of the world. It's original purpose remains the same but Blacklight has changed over the decades. Blacklight has pull with the head of every government on the planet allowing them to operate in relative secret. A mysterious gas leak? Blacklight. A sudden closure of rail lines? Blacklight.
Blacklight members are the blurry people in the back of photographs and the fleeting shadow in the corner of your eye.
In short they don't exist.
But they save your life everyday.
Weapon Classes.
All the weapons are divided into different 'classes' a member of Blacklight trains with all of the weapons from their chosen schools. This allows weapons to be changed before each mission so long as the weapons exchanged are from the same class.
Spoiler:
Rifles- Well rounded weapons, ranges vary. 'Thumper' Assault rifle- A fully automatic assault rifle that puts out an impressive amount of fire power for it's size. Short-Mid range. 'Challenger' Rifle-A compact assault rifle that fires three round bursts. Comes equipped with a scope. Mid-Long range.
Heavy Weapons- though known to be inaccurate these weapons are incredible at surpressing enemies. 'Wolf Bane' Heavy machine gun- A heavy machine gun that fires a dizzying amount of bullets. So great is the volume of bullets that it can actually kill a werewolf without the use of specialised silver ammunition. Horribly inaccurate. 'Leviathan' missile launcher- An immense missile launcher that has three barrels. Each barrel can be fire individually or all at once.
Assault Weapons- Weapons best suited for closer ranges. At point blank theses weapons spell instant death. 'Slugger' Shotgun- A pump action shotgun that can either fire a solid slug for longer ranges or a standard 'spread' shell for closer range. 'Hellfire' Flamethrower-An incredibly short ranged flamethrower but fire is effective against all but a select few creatures.
Sniper Rifles- Longer range weapons that can kill from a long distance. 'Pathfinder' Sniper rifle- A high powered precision sniper rifle with an adjustable scope. Effective at only long range. 'Boomer' rifle- More of a souped up assault rifle. Fires a single shot that has a small explosive in it.
Sidearms- Quick to draw and fire. Only recommended as back up weapons. 'Demonhammer' revolver- A huge and brutal eight shot revolver. Fires huge slugs that have been dowsed in Holy water. 'Quickshot' pistol-A faster firing pistol with longer range than the Demonhammer.
Melee weapons- Seen as an 'outdated' way of fighting but a skilled swordsman is a deadly foe. Dragonslayer-An iron sword. Surprisingly adept at piercing wyrm scales. Magic Aegis- A buckler attached to the arm. It strangely absorbs harmful magic directed at the wielder.
Classes
Members of Blacklight are divided into four main types of members. These types are then further divided by more advanced training. Operative
Spoiler:
The bulk of Blacklight's forces. Even a rookie is comparable to a Special forces soldier.
Equipment: 1 magic ring. No other restrictions.
Specialisations:
Adepts: Adept operatives specialise in their chosen weapons. Adepts suffer no penalties for firing at different ranges.
Troopers: Trooper operatives train with all available weaponry. Troopers have no 'locked in' weapon classes and can choose any weapon before a mission.
Magi
Spoiler:
Magi are a rare group of people who can wield more than one magic ring. This is believed to be as they have Elvish blood in their veins.
Equipment: 2 magic rings. Weapons only available from sidearm class.
Specialisations:
Warlock: Forgoing ballistic training to wield more rings, Warlocks are deadly magical users. No weapons but 4 magic rings.
Channeler: Channelers can focus magical energy to be used. They can power up the next spell on a magic ring and try to restore energy to 'burnt out' ones.
Battle Priest
Spoiler:
Battle priests are some of the most essential Blacklight members. They are borderline zealots and are incredibly effective against Vampires and Demons.
Equipment: Primary weapon class is used by the Battle Cross (A club in the shape of a cross). 1 Ring of Holy light. No other restrictions.
Specialisations:
Warrior Priests: Warrior Priests go through the same training as the Templar Knight of old. They can chooses to replace the Battle Cross with a Holy Sword which rends demons but makes them less effective against vampires.
Witch Hunter: A Witch Hunter is the bane of magic users. They lose their magic ring but instead wield a Magic Aegis alongside their Battle cross and chosen secondary class.
Farshot
Spoiler:
The Snipers of Blacklight that are famed for engaging hostile deemed too 'high risk' for traditional forces.
Equipment: 1 magic ring. Primary weapon class must be Sniper Rifles. No other restrictions.
Specialisations:
Deadeye: Incredible snipers that are famed for their trick shots. They are incredible at limb shots but not so good at chest shots.
Marksman: The harsh opposites of Deadeyes, they are known for their 'boring' but reliable shots. Marksmen are great at body shots but not so good at limb shots.
Magic!
Spoiler:
Humans -though they have a natural magical ability- cannot channel magical power without the aid of item. Long ago, early Blacklight members were gifted magic rings by the Elves. These rings allow magic to be used as an incredible defence or a devestating weapon. However these rings are also unstable, they have a chance to 'burn out' when a spell is cast. This chance increases with the strength and/or duration of the spell. However due to the immense training needed to use a ring, Blacklight members cannot change the type of ring they use.
A quick note: Magical rings allow to do almost anything associated with it's type. Types of rings:
Ring of Fire (self explanatory)
Ring of Earth (Use the ground as a weapon!)
Ring of Water (Use for defence and to set up for lightning magic)
Ring of Lightning (Self explanatory)
Ring of Holy Light (Holy light is used as a weapon or to obtain 'breathing space')
Ring of Birds(Self explanatory)
Ring of Healing (Self explanatory)

Weapons can be exchanged in between missions from your selected weapon class (unless you're a trooper).
So on one mission you could have a Thumper and Hellfire but on the next you could have a Challenger and Slugger.

So you can choose your weapon class to be assault and sniper and walk around with a sniper rifle and a shot gun at the same time?

Never mind, all you magi threw a wrench in my plan, , i will remember this when a werewolf is in front of you and your rings are burned out.
This is what his tattoo looks like, also similar to what is on his helmet:

Looks great Hissien except for two teeny weeny knit picks.
The weapon class would be sidearm and the specialisation would be either Warlock or Channeler (both are found under Magi).

With all these Warlocks going round it'll be a shame if your rings burn out
Just kidding, the odds of all of your rings burning out is slim.

Since we each have four of them, I would hope they do not break down so easily since they were given to humans by elves who seem like they would be long dead or long gone.
Spoiler:
same world as TCD?

The Elves gave the originals to the dozen or so first members.
These are the mass produced 'human' copies of those rings.
Spoiler:
As much as I'd like it to be, sadly no. I assure you that this would break TCD lore.

No. Warlocks can equip 4 rings, Magi two and then everyone else other than a witch hunter can equip one.

If too many people with magi or warlocks join up, ill make Hunter a different class to balance things out.
