S.M.I.T.E.

The **Supernatural and Mythical Investigations/Treatment Enforcement**, or **S.M.I.T.E.**, is a paranormal investigation organization and agency responsible for protecting humanity against mythological entities causing altercations or unexplained anomalies that could expose their existence to the world.

## History

In the age of legends, mankind's current literature of occult myths, fairy tales, folklore, and other texts were actual events recording the interactions of magical occurrences with humans and creatures of mythology. By the late 19th century, more people grew frantic about these encounters and questioned their own safety in society. In response to the growing disturbances, most of the world's governments began funding individual groups to research this in hopes of combating the potential threat. Unfortunately, these projects were limited in effectiveness since the goal was to research the events through *scientific* data which could not cover the supernatural, most of which was supplied by universities in London. When one of the projects examining an ancient artifact that brought forth a slew of bizarre, hostile creatures that almost harmed the crew involved, the world's governments decided to turn these joint groups into a single one with the facilities involved assimilated into the new branch. Thus, S.M.I.T.E. was founded in 1945 under two leaders, the organization dedicated to preventing any supernatural event from appearing in the world that could lead to catastrophe and keeping the public unaware of the dangers that lurked beyond.

### New Management

In the 1980s, political crusades such as the decline of Communism, growing dictatorship in Eastern Asia, and various economic reforms in the United Kingdom, made the world's united governments more unstable and thus measures on S.M.I.T.E. effectiveness increasingly thinned down by lack of economic sustenance from developing neoliberal economic and political policies. While S.M.I.T.E. was on the risk of termination, a new council of leaders was brought in to manage the crisis. Under their guidance, the agency shifted methods from distancing the supernatural from humanity through force to helping the supernatural blend in with society though still kept in secrecy from the world. This meant all confiscated or imprisoned creatures in custody that were currently neutralized were released and monitored under the condition they kept altercations with humans to a minimum. Some of the captured species were even recruited into the agency. Subsidies were then obtained from the valuable byproducts most species possessed but did not need, saving the agency. The organization's main aim then became to improve relations with the more sapient entities of the mystic world and guarantee protection of certain rights unless the creatures violated them, only then would they risk incarceration.
