Undercity Professionals
London, beneath the veneer of mundanity there is a second city and Undercity. In Under London there are far stranger and more frightening things. In suburban basements, secretive cults worship old, alien gods, offering sacrifices of spilled blood and burned banknotes. Strange creatures live in the sewers and catacombs and Tube tunnels, things that look human at first glance but behave in profoundly odd ways and display weird and unnatural powers.Driven men and women conduct research into the occult, unlocking the forbidden powers of the arcane and hiding their experimentation from the authorities. University libraries contain books kept under lock and key, so that only the most trusted scholars are allowed to study them, for fear of releasing things humanity is better off ignorant of. In the penthouse apartments of business-district tower blocks, the wealthy traffic in things best left alone to scrape whatever advantage they can over their rivals.
In this world, the supernatural is frighteningly real. It is an old and unpredictable force, a harbinger of madness and death and widespread destruction. Magic corrupts and inhuman beings prey upon humanity.
The mundane authorities are well aware of this. Considering the massive damage that can be done by a magical mishap, how could they not be?
Knowledge of the supernatural is suppressed, trading in magical supplies proscribed, and esoteric organisations frequently investigated and prosecuted. The British law enforcement agencies deal with occult crimes at least tangentially, and as rumors go have a whole department, the dreaded MI11, dedicated to keeping the supernatural under control.
The occult underground is live and strong, where the authority iron fist tries to choke the life of the magical trade there is room for a new type of professional. Small enough to fit the cracks, unimportant enough to be expendables you are an Undercity professional gather your crew or work solo to claw some piece of heaven in this dark corrupted city.
