NA-PDU

## Description:

The Northeast Asian Paranormal Destruction Unit, or as it is more commonly referred to in their documents, the People's Paranormal Liberation Division (PPLD), is a joint operation undertaken by the People's Republic of China and the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea as an alternative to the JPCU, GOC, or SCP Foundation. The organization maintains hostile relations with all other paranormal investigation/containment groups across the world; the NA-PDU has no strong or permanent allies, the closest being a mutual relationship between the NA-PDU and Marshall, Carter & Dark Ltd.

The world's population does not know of NA-DPU's existence; the group's existence is a secret among the paranormal community, and a black stain on mankind's morality for which all of the rest of the world is ashamed.

### Organization:

#### Capital: NA-DPU HQ, Shanghai, China

NA-DPU is organized in a manner similar to that of other Chinese and North Korean secret police agencies. The group is led by 8 "Ministers of Paranormal Affairs," each of whom handles a specific part of the organization's duties; these Ministers are meant to mimic the O5-Council of the SCP Foundation and the Board of Directors of the JPCU. The Ministers' real identities are kept a close secret, and their status as being anomalous or supernatural is similarly unknown. The NA-PDU is divided into several bureaus, one for each Minister, that operates a specific function of the organization; more logistical and managerial bureaus also exist, but do not have a Minister to oversee them. Within these Bureaus sit the various lesser managers, directors, and agents of the organization. The military hierarchy of the NA-DPU's agents is unknown.

The NA-DPU recruits from the other branches of the Chinese and North Korean intelligence agencies, their respective military and special operations divisions, and those graduates of the Magic Colleges within their borders; graduates who show a particular skill or talent for Magic are often forcibly recruited into the NA-DPU. Recruitment requires having incredible credentials, a perfect disciplinary record, undying loyalty to the Communist Party, and the order-following trait of a good soldier.

The organization dedicates large amounts of its resources to the policing of Magic, the supernatural, and the anomalous within their borders without the help of external groups like the Foundation or GOC. The NA-DPU takes few prisoners and rarely seeks to contain threats; the only threats which are deemed worthy of containment are those which are deemed useful to the Communist Party. The NA-DPU's research bureau is infamous for its rampant immoral and inhuman experiments, almost all of which are conducted on civilian humans, sometimes without their knowledge; the NA-DPU is also known to experiment on large populations at once, disguising their efforts as innocent government initiatives, and have no qualms with accidentally killing or permanently disabling an entire city of civilians if it lends itself to the acquisition of important data. The NA-DPU also dedicates large portions of its assets to the exploration and investigation of the abandoned sites previously owned and maintained by the Soviet GRU-P organization prior to the group's dissolution in the late 1990's; the NA-DPU has access to all of GRU-P's Facility locations, but is not allowed access into Russia to access many of them. As a result, the NA-DPU conducts clandestine raids and expeditions across the Chinese-Russian border to secretly access these abandoned facilities in order to identify (and steal) whatever lies within; other abandoned facilities located within non-Russian ex-Soviet states are often unknown even to the local governments, which allows the NA-DPU to access them with little issue.
