El-Melloi II Private Detective Agency

“I expect you all not to side with GPU. Or at the very least to remain neutral.”

“I am hoping that I am not being too hopeful. Either way, Fibonacci is in a state of crisis, as many of the other wards are. It should be obvious that all pending cases and investigations are on hold for the moment. Your main priority is the safety of your fellow citizens. All of them.”

Previous Experience: I’ve been working for the Isola Diamond Battalion for over a year, and during this time I’ve had to track down groups of criminals for the purpose of arrest and disposal.

Before coming to this dimension I was sent out on missions by my village. These missions always required skill in the art of stealth, battle and perception. I went out on these missions with a team, so I know how to work with others.

Skills: I’m a shinobi with a variety of jutsu in my arsenal. I’m also a skilled swordsman with access to other ninja tools.

Previous Criminal Record Y/N: No. If yes to previous question, provide explanation:

“Oh, another intern.”

“I realize you list combat skills as a specialization, but I vastly prefer my interns to do in-office work. So long as you’re comfortable with that, you’re hired.”

Previous Experience: Back where I’m from, me and my buddies went through the ropes to be Junior Detectives. Got the badge and mustache to prove it! There’s also plenty of people here that can confirm it all.

Skills: So I’ve got plenty of Huntsman training– basically cool heroes that fight off monsters and stuff. On top of that, I’ve got pretty good aim. I can show off at a target range if you want.

Previous Criminal Record Y/N: Nope I’m as clean as a whistle! The only thing I’ve stolen is the hearts of many lovely ladies… but I don’t think that counts, so we’re good.

“Another...’Junior Detective’.” He doesn’t look too pleased about that. “I’ll be keeping an eye on you all - given that ‘plenty of people who can confirm it’ has to be more than the other member of your little club. Hired.”

Name: Gray Age: 16 Home Ward: Archimedes Desired Position: Intern (‘bodyguard’ is scribbled out)

Previous Experience: Naming them all would take a lot of space… But… I’ve been with you every case you’ve been on…

Skills: Do I, have to say it…? I can protect myself and the people around me easily… I’m not very smart, but I’m good at keeping organized.

Previous Criminal Record Y/N: Just breaking and entering, I think.

“Gray-”

Name: Makoto Nanaya Age: 21 Home Ward: Cotes Desired Position: Detective

Previous Experience: Lieutenant rank in NOL Intelligence Division, worked there for several years while also being a double agent for rival paramilitary organization Sector 7. Gathered info on NOL for S7 while also gathering general info for NOL employ. So, very good at being sneaky and gathering intelligence.

Skills: Military and paramilitary organization experience, lots of martial experience, strength and speed beyond most humans, above average senses. Good at being sneaky and strong.

Previous Criminal Record Y/N: Yes If yes to previous question, provide explanation: Defected from NOL because they were just generally corrupt

“NOL...?”

Previous Experience: You see, I’m actually a Junior Detective – got the badge and everything, well, just the badge. Me and my partner(s) have solved crimes all over Vale. I can bring up witnesses and happy citizens for testimonies if you need them!

Skills: I’m also a Huntsman in training, so you know, I can handle myself in a fight. I can play the intimidation game if I need to. I’m super suave, can play a mean sax, and will rock a mustache. 

Previous Criminal Record Y/N: Yes…? These aren’t exactly illegal where I’m from but I’m going to include them because people have yelled at me for doing them.  If yes to previous question, provide explanation:

I’ve stolen fruit a couple times – just apples and bananas, nothing like a watermelon or a pineapple so…

I’ve also littered said banana peels, maybe once, or twice. 

I guess I’ve also stowed away on ships… multiple times. 

“Well...I suppose I do include that last question seeking honesty.”

On the lowest floor of Level 3 in Fibonacci ward, a small private detective agency sits. Small and empty for now, but it seeks to work with the police and citizens alike to solve the crimes of this city.

Need a helping hand? Too scared to go to the police? Step inside and submit a case for review by the detectives.

Looking to help? The agency is looking for detectives, secretaries, and unpaid interns. Please apply under the applications tag and submit them to the submissions box.

“Settle down, all of you.” The crowd - both agency employees and locals who regularly came to the agency’s location in Fibonacci hushed under his stern tone.

“The investigation into what transpired in this ward is ongoing, and I promise you it is not going ignored. I realize at this level police presence is minimal, and you and the inhabitants of the lower section rely on us for answers and the apprehension of the suspects at large.” A murmur went through the crowd.

“We expect that this, like many other such instances, are the result of gang related activity in the area. Regardless of the situation, we continue to collect eyewitness reports. Please come to either myself or one of our detectives. There is currently a waiting list, but we are doing all we can to ensure the future safety of you and yours.” Taking a drag of his cigarette, he shuffled uncomfortable for a moment, before looking back over the crowd.

“Usually attacks such as this are for public clout. They are done in public, leaving the scene for display in order to scare you. Or impress you - whatever this deranged arse wants to get out of this. Regardless, rest assured we are working on our investigation around the clock.” A nod, and the murmurs rose through the crowd as Lord El-Melloi II moved carefully around and back into the agency, leaving the door propped open as people flooded in behind him.

It was going to be another long week, it seemed.

TL;DR If you are a detective or agency employee, here’s your permission to interact with the recent shooting in Fib

If you wanted to come into the agency, here’s a chance to come give an account - lie, don’t, i don’t care! Unreliable witnesses are part of storytelling

Previous Experience: I’ve never been an official secretary, but I have worked with large quantities of documentation while working towards… projects. I’ve organized a few escape rooms over the past few years, which takes quite a bit of planning and pulling strings. I take my work seriously, because without organization there is chaos. Without a solid structure in place, a agency can’t thrive, so I would consider myself pretty apt. 

Skills: I’m very good with people, and even better in math. I have a sharp eye and can pick out little details. 

Previous Criminal Record Y/N: No

“Ah, Kurashiki. Decided your concerns about me were unfounded, then?”

Previous Experience: I acted as the de-facto secretary of my own charity organization back home and in another city, as well as its accountant. During this time, I’d also spent time with a number of people who had been thrown into unfortunate circumstances, and so I can handle most any reaction our clients may have to their own situations.

Skills: 6 years of professional experience with productivity software; able to train others on that software who have little to no experience with modern technology.

Previous Criminal Record Y/N: N If yes to previous question, provide explanation: N/A.

“Miss Rika?”

“Huh. Well, I am aware of your business in that other city as well. You are, of course, welcome. And needed. Please do not pick on Teika too much.”

Previous Experience: As head of the Information Team at Lobotomy Corporation, my duties included supervising employees as well as collating information.

Skills: Organizational, managerial, and analytical skills.

Previous Criminal Record Y/N: No.

“Ah, well, it’s always nice to have someone with experience, and organization is something we sorely need.”

Previous Experience: I have been a detective ever since I was 7 years old, for a total of almost 15 years - anything my father can do, I can do and better. I am a 000 detective, only one of four in my previous world. 000 detectives, to give you an idea, need to be confronted by national level security if gone rogue. I have handled a rogue 000 in the past at age 13. I am also the former Super High School Level Detective - scouted at age 16 for being the best around and am also known as the Ultimate Detective as well. Impossible crime and homicide is my specialty, although I can do any case imaginable.

Skills: I know 8 separate martial arts, kickboxing and much, much more. I know hacking. I know how to use just about any weapon, although I have a preference for using two pistols. I can lock pick. I’ve escaped being tortured. I can hold my breath for upwards of 10 minutes. I know survival skills. I know how to read someones body language perfectly and get into their head, predicting their actions. I can perform body examinations to find a deeper cause of death if need be. And this is simply some examples. I don’t have any ‘superpowers’ or 'magic’, however, despite the fact that I have taken my body to the absolute limit a normal human can. I suppose something worth noting is that I can hear the Angel of Death and danger in general - meaning, I can sense death essentially, when someone is about to die, if they died, and so on and so forth.

Previous Criminal Record Y/N: Yes. If yes to previous question, provide explanation: 

My crimes are as follows, along with explanation:

Speeding and general breaking of traffic rules - I needed to get places quickly. And it’s fun.

Underaged smoking and drinking  - Teenage rebellion. Don’t ever start smoking.

Breaking and entering - I needed information.

Espionage - Read the above.

Larceny - Read the above.

Trespassing - Read the above.

Fabrication of evidence - Used to catch someone when they’re lying and as a bluff. I’ve never sent in fake evidence or used it otherwise. 

Illegal use of weaponry and vehicles - You think they’d give a 14 year old a license?

Automobile theft - Needed a vehicle in a pinch.

Treason - I sort of helped and used resources from a world saving organization with my leadership in one of their branches to hide and help rehabilitate 15 people that ended the world in the first place. I wasn’t caught for what? A full year? No one found out until that time, and even then, I was not the one under suspicion. 

Sedition - In less eloquent words, fuck the Future Foundation.

Assault - Sometimes you have to knock people out.

With the exception of Treason, I was never caught for any of these.

“...” A slow blink. He clears his throat, “This application is...Extensive. Anything you wish me to redact given the nature of a relative of yours also working here is something you should let me know.”

“I can appreciate your desire to list your own accomplishments - and they are many- instead of relying on lineage. Hired.”

Some applications are coming in the old format! There is a new format here [x]

The fact that the old forms are being used makes me concerned that the new detectives have not read my Rules for this business! EM2 will fire you if you are breaking any of the rules I’ve set forth, considering my idea for this is that it will interact with the public of Spirale!

Additionally, nobody is forced to interact with each other at the agency - as stated in the rules. Do not force interactions on your coworkers! This place is a medium for interaction, but I have no expectations of you all holding hands and singing.

Also please let me know if your character wants to quit for any reason. You do not have to tell me why and it doesn’t have to be in character! Just helps my housekeeping.

Best wishes!

18  Home District: F district? Phone? Y/N: (a phone is required to be a detective)

Yes Desired Position:

While i prefer detective. I take ANY job. I just need some case to cure my boredom.

Previous Experience: (the right to decline any inexperienced muse is up to Waver! This kind of job will ICly be dealing with a range of cases, and Waver is very keen on people being professionals)

Ran a agency myself back home.

Skills: (magic, alchemy, martial, military experience - literally anything you can think of that will be involved in a Hive City case)

As of right now. Stopping time for seven seconds only. I also have magic negation and disguise once powers unlocked.

Previous Criminal Record Y/N:

Yes If yes to previous question, provide explanation:

Breaking and entering, Assault, Jay walking. Littering 

“I do not hire detectives who are so unconcerned with their job.”

“And while your criminal record is merely a formality, I have my concerns about your inclusion of violent activity at the age of eighteen, as well as the alleged agency you ran. You may stay on as an unpaid intern for a trial period while i assess you - since you are in clear need of assessment - or you may leave. We are here to help people. We are not here to cure your boredom.”

experience: i previously worked as a processor for several years–a more combat-orientated kind of detective. i’ve had more clients than i can count, and you can rely on me to handle my cases with discretion. i wouldn’t be applying if i didn’t think my presence would benefit your little operation.

(also, i like your coffee machine…)

skills: i’d prefer to avoid violence, but i’m strong enough to hold my own against some of the more dangerous people around here.

criminal record: uh… yeah–in my timeline i’m a notorious criminal. falsely accused on several points, may i add. does that mean anything here?

“Mm.”

“Detective is fine. I only ask for a criminal record for the sake of honesty, really. Hired, regardless.”
