Welcome to the Veil

The supernatural is real, it's always been real, and it exists right underneath the surface of the world you recognize. Vampire bloodlines. Fae politics. Ghosts that haven't figured out they're supposed to leave. The whole thing. And it stays hidden not because of some grand magical secret but because of a genuinely messy combination of government classification, community self-policing, and the fact that people are really, really good at not seeing what they don't want to see. That fragile, fractured, constantly-failing boundary is called the Veil. Keeping it intact is part of your job.

The tone sits somewhere in the neighborhood of Buffy's found-family horror, the road-worn weight of Supernatural, the procedural grind of Grimm and the X-Files with a dash of the Dresden Files' urban magic for flavor. You don't need to know any of those. What you need to know is that this is a world where the institutions are compromised, the monsters are real, and the people you choose to stand with are the only thing that actually holds.
