Out of the Shadows

The year is 2017. A new president has been inaugurated, and soon after a congressional bill acknowledges the existence of the supernatural. A number of supernatural beings, both mortal and immortal, are revealed. Some people are surprised by this revelation, and others less so. People find themselves struggling to adapt, and it leads to both internal and external conflicts. Acceptance of those from non-human descent varies by community, education, upbringing, and social class, but most certainly is not universal. In Philadelphia, one of the most populated cities in the US, the mayor institutes a further law that discrimination against supernaturals is illegal, the first city to offer a law of this sort. Responses swing from ignoring the law entirely, to those who simply see it as proper to treat everyone the same. The trades some, especially fae, brought with them during their lengthy existence benefited the city economy and new businesses were able to develop and expand - though some found themselves vandalized too. Supernaturals are being pulled out of the shadows. How will you react?

Many, many years ago I ran a fandom specific board (back in the invision free days!) with this basic plot point. Maybe I'm just feeling overly nostalgic but I've been craving the chance to give it another shot.

It was pretty involved, with a slice of life setting in a world where children were no longer being born, and a city plagued by a serial killer. There was then another section of the board which was set in the afterlife/limbo, revolving around the forces of good vs evil and the trapped human souls, unable to pass on. People get to have their Real Life fantasies and then when/if bored with their characters they can kill them off and send them into the battle ground of the afterlife. Other characters obviously start in the afterlife where there’s a real post-apocalyptic feel, complete with that supernatural element of shifters and vamps, sins/demons and virtues/angels. We had a lot of global plot points (including the killer who was a pivotal part of the plot) which kept the place going and active, so I'd be looking at doing the same sort of setup.

I gathered that posting for an interest check would be the way to go, so I’ve got the old plot summary under the cut.
