Dark Spirited

Last Update: 07/01/22

On the island of Havertou, citizens often fall into three categories or slip into the cracks between them. 

The Surveillance Taskforce, the island's long-time law enforcement, is dedicated to protecting their normal, everyday citizens from harm at the hands of radical and violent Divinus, as well as protecting the cordial members of the gifted race safe from backlash at the hands of hateful humans. 

The Legion of Power is a radical group of Divinus known for collecting others of their kind wherever they may find them. Sick of feeling controlled by the will of humans, they've been steadily and forcefully growing their ranks, and frequently lashing out against the Taskforce.

The Equilibrium is the self-proclaimed government of the Divinus, keeping records of their Populus, and the Pledge of Power for each of them, keen on maintaining a balance between light and shadow. Though cordial and pleasant, they do not often interact with the Taskforce. 

You play as Officer Walsh, a Taskforce recruit who's just completed their training, and is eager to find their place. 

Following a patrol gone awry, details on the events leading to your father's death come to the surface, causing a temporary alliance to form between your Taskforce squad and an odd bunch of Divinus. 

Officer Walsh is customizable in these ways;

• Pronouns (she/he/they)
• Sexuality
