Redemption Inc.

"Save our spirits and free our souls."

Redemption Inc. is a modern paranormal roleplay on the forums of Gaia Online. The main thread can be found here. Also has a character sheet here.

Inspired by Ghost Hunt and following a typical ghost-hunting Who You Gonna Call? storyline, RedInc features an incredibly diverse Psychic Powers-wielding cast. There's a couple Onmyoji (including one who's pretending to be something else), a incredibly mismatched teacher-student Clairvoyant pair, an ex-Bhikkhu and his wannabe-monk apprentice, some vastly powerful Psychokinetics, a pair of hardworking Mediums, and two super-smart telepaths. The roleplay follows a case-by-case storyline with a connecting arc of training the new recruits to follow in the veterans' footsteps.
