ISU (International Space Union)
A futuristic, recurring organisation owned by the one and only Hael. He is a mysterious man, whom very few people have actually seen in person. The only other man in existence who spends a lot of time about him is a creepy physicist who goes by the name of Dr. Crey Ashfieth.
This corporation is very often responsible for things going haywire. The one thing they are very infamous for is the creation and release of bio-weapons and pandemics.
Depending on the timeline, their situation changes quite often. They could be in the near future, with a disease spreading thanks to their spy agents' branch. They are very varied, and due to all the different specialisations they need and the specialists they hire, their HQs are a whole city of its own.
Further into the future, years after the outbreak of a disease no one knew the origin of and had already forgotten, Hael returns with a new mad plan. He wishes to give humanity a second chance.
After creating all kinds of amazing technologies, including an enormous ship that can easily dwarf a castle, and recruiting twenty agents of a special, new type, he took off to outer space to find a new home for a better breed of humans–in his personal opinion.
But he isn't simply mad. He is a sly one, and often accomplishes his desires. His money brings everything to him.
His biggest kept secret is the fact that his agents, the Hermesians, are genetically modified. Each one of them was enhanced physically and even mentally, to improve their endurance, strength and speed. During their training, they were given special injections that none of them minded. Mostly because the scientist responsible for distributing it followed the charismatic and democratic lead of his superior.

History
Collected in all kinds of ancient books and newer ones being written to this day, but only the members have access to them, where they simply sit in an enormous house-turned-library, waiting to be read.
Over the ages, since the ancient times of sorcery and magic, before a name was given to the darker forces of nature, four unique individuals were joined together, under instructions of the most powerful of demons, to form a society dedicated to the protection of the paranormal. Because they wanted a safe place to live in peace, and to make some powerful, intelligent humans.
Their group grew larger and stronger as they found the right recruits with the aid of the infernal princes. While they exponentially spread out over the world, they knew to hide their knowledge from the public, keeping it all to this higher order of creative, strong and wealthy individuals.
Well-learnt and always curious, they perfected the pre-established practices of Alchemy, and then went on to add to the treasury of knowledge those esoteric books held. It was always rumoured that their secret society had the Philosopher's Stone, among many other universally prized and equally legendary possessions, which they ripped right out of myth and then proceeded to conceal perfectly. As their forces grew, they became a sort of universal cult.
As they evolved and learnt even more, they began putting together their very own tomes and informative books. They produced the most successful Historians and other scholars, selfishly keeping them all to themselves, with the freedom to examine human history which did not concern them, of course. It was how they worked.
Surely enough, every single individual is unique, but those who share the same interests remain in the same division. In total, there are four, based on the princes of Hell. Now, they have a very elaborate structure of branches, council members who represent most of the group's opinions, needs and other things, leaders who simply keep things simple–without leading anyone–and a fairly simple structure of adeptness which culminates in the title "Satanic Sorcerer".
They, obviously enough, shy away from law and government and keep to themselves. They avoid all kinds of attention and always make sure that the only thing any outsiders knows about them is that they offer a Paranormal Detective services. Their public name is "Apollyn Paranormal Detectives" or the APD.

Secret Factions of Cambia
SECRET ORGANISATION 1.7
Name: Babesia
Symbol:
Message: Awaken, mortals, to the coals you aren't even aware you're treading upon.
Philosophy: If they don't give you your freedom, take it from them through whatever means necessary.
Motto: [Yours to choose~.]
Motivation: Revealing the truth behind the ways of The Eight.
Target: The government.
History: The year was 2027. Humanity was living relatively similarly to the way they had been since 2020, when the Technology Revolution took place. An explosion of new gadgets, devices and all types of technological advancements were released to the masses. AI was finally a reality. Smart Cities were projects in progress, nearing closure faster than anyone thought possible, with rumours of The Technological Singularity circulating throughout the surprisingly much cleaner streets than ever before. The environment was humanity's biggest concern, along with science. Religions were dying out faster and faster–it was the golden era for humans. Smarter masses seemed to be an achievable goal rather than a dream casually mentioned in internet rants by the rare genius here and there.
Even politics were starting to change. The world was looking better and better for... Everyone.
And then...
The Metamorphosis, as it is termed by historians, took place.
This is one of the shadiest and least accurately represented events ever recorded. The only thing that everyone knows for sure is that on Friday, January 1st, 2027, 00:01 [UTC], the midnight skies glimmered with eight different lights, each a unique colour, all over the globe. Astronomers hypothesised they were distant supernovae, meteorites, etc, especially since the night sky shone for thirteen days after that. Videos of the phenomenon can be found all over the internet, even today, and they are embedded into history 'books' (tablets) for schools and the like. Footage can be found in all kinds of museums, too.
After that, in about three months, all the countries of the world suddenly announced surrendering their political positions to a group of people never once seen in person nor through live feeds. They were officially called The Eight, Cambia, The New Nation, etc etc. They created new laws and started releasing so much new technology, humanity forgot about just about everything else. The Earth was now The Nation of Cambia, ruled by The Eight.
On December 6th, 2047, a man named Telver Ora (will be introduced in the rp) stumbled upon one of the intel bases of Cambia, where he was caught 'trespassing' and incurred the wrath of Prince Nitros, the Seventh Sectorial Prince (we are in the 7th Sector). He came out of the fight bruised and scarred–scars he has to this very day–but he had to pretend to have died for the prince to let him go.
Healed and enraged, especially after all the things he heard while eavesdropping, he began attending fight clubs, underground clubs and started tracking down hackers until he put together 18 people (throughout about 10 years–he had to be cautious and whatnot), humans and nonhumans alike. They're divided all across the sector, 6 in the North, 5 in the South and 4 in the West and 3 in the East. He showed them the truth and they were easy to enlighten, as he had targeted those people especially. They are still growing today.

SECRET ORGANISATION 1.2
Name: Secubaret.
Symbol: ( ^ )
Message: We deserve to live here just as much as the next human.
Philosophy: Through fearlessness and intellect, we shall reclaim this world.
Motto: If it can kill you, it's worth fighting with a friend.
Motivation: Taking back their freedom and running amongst the humans without qualms through whatever means necessary.
Target: The government.
History: Salinthea found herself in a world where even those of the same species fought against each other, a world ruled by a class she hesitated to call brethren. In fact, she saw them as the main enemy, the reason why those vampires like her were no longer in harmony. The familiar touch of the Paciere (a class of vampires that keeps order on Earth and The Other World) was nowhere to be found, and the streets became more and more hostile and dangerous. All thanks to the wretched rule of the Prince of the Second Sector, Assimirtith Ven. One of the most ruthless and cruel Princes in all of Cambia.
That was when she decided to seek out the lost and the broken, creating a home for them in her mansion, a place nearly hidden from the world, structured between the older buildings of the sector. She managed to slightly tame the bloodthirsty supernatural, and if she were to be removed from the faction, they might easily turn against each other, although she is still instilling and breeding loyalty between them all.
Thus Secubaret was born. Made to conquer The Eight.
The one thing she has never told anyone is that they took the love of her life, a demon, and murdered him right before her eyes. She has a personal issue with Ven, a deeply rooted hatred for him and those that allow him to go about freely destroying everyone's lives.
