MagiPol

The MPD—or MagiPol—stands for *Magic Police Department*. It is an international organization in charge of regulating mythics and their activities. Civilian humans cannot be guilded—can't even know of the existence of magic. To keep those with no means of protection safe, the totality of the mythic world must be kept secret. Only under very specific circumstances, and based on their clearance level, can mundane humans be knowledgeable of magic.

## Mythic Database

The MPD database is the only legitimate website on the net—and only accessible to those with a registered MID number. Parading as a financial investment company, the database contains information on every single registered or unregistered mythic, posts bonuses, sets up bounties for loose rogues and offers magic-related jobs to other mythics. Anyone registered can look up any other mythic or guild, but based on their status among the mythic hierarchy, the information displayed to them varies. Guildmasters may see every morsel of data ever dug up by the MPD on a mythic, whereas a newly guilded will just see a mythic's name and image.

## Guilds

Magipol's function as a regulatory body leans on a cycle of regulation. The organization imposes laws and order on guilds—who in turn impose the same control over their guildeds. Mythics naturally feel inclined to join a guild, especially considering the heightened restrictions heaved on them once they hit past the expected age to join one—eighteen years old. Their guild is accountable for the mythic's behavior. If a guilded is found bending a minor rule, there will be consequences—possibly a fine leveraged against them and/or their guild, depending on the severity of the crime. If the guilded commits a particularly nasty violation, the guild may receive the same treatment, and a warning. At some point along the line, a guild could be ordered to disband. In accordance with it's regulatory system, the MPD posts bounties up on its database, by permitting other guilds permission to engage and hopefully ensure their dispersion.

## Mundane World

Leeway is given when hiring non-mythics for guilds only with public-facing businesses. Guilds that manage a fully-functioning façade are included within the sliver of gray area where mythics and regular humans interact and mingle. However, not all hired humans may be given any real knowledge about the nature of their workplace.

The mythic identification number is an integral function in the assured safety of the mundane world at large. When rogue mythics are detained by civilian police, they are immediately released. Rogues are well aware of this—and understand not to engage with the police for their own self-preservation. The police—depending on their levels in the department—have some vague idea why they're releasing certain people, but they must sign an NDA. They aren't permitted to speak anything about the existence of magic.

## Trivia

* According to MPD law, violence against mythic trespassers is acceptable.

* The highest bounties posted are normally for untethered demons—but those are very rare.

* MPD precincts and offices tend to lean on mundane security tech. Magical security involves too many complications.

* The largest MPD precinct in the West Coast is situated in Los Angeles.

* A code black MPD alert indicates the human law enforcement has been brought in to assist.
