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.

This roleplay contains examples of:

 * All Work vs. All Play : Hue and Micah
 * Asian Rune Chant : With monks around, it's to be expected.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking : Salem and Terry, full stop.
 * By extension, any of the veterans as well.
 * Badass : Pretty much the entire cast in one way or another, but a special mention goes to the veterans.
 * Badass Crew : Nuff said.
 * Blessed with Suck : Salem.
 * Beware the Nice Ones : Rui, Cody, among others.
 * Bromantic Foil : Micah and Cody are heading that way.
 * Character Development : The rookies mostly, and the veterans to some degree.
 * Combat Medic : Terry.
 * Creepy Child : St. Elizabeth's is full of them. Creepy ghost children. Almost six hundred of them, to be exact.
 * Everyone Can See It : Heather and Hue.
 * Ghostly Chill : Pretty obvious.
 * Ghost Lights
 * Home Base : The Redemption Inc. office.
 * Ho Yay: Terry and Hue, bro.
 * Meaningful Name : Redemption Inc.

 * Mythology Gag : All over the place to several different roleplays.
 * Naive Newcomer : Some of the rookies (Cody especially) have no idea what is going on.
 * Non-Idle Rich : It's heavily implied Salem has a lot of money, but continues to run the company because she wants to make a difference.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity : Salem, Terry, Rui.
 * Older Than They Look : Salem, Rui.
 * Only Known by Their Nickname : Hue's given name isn't Hue.
 * Onmyodo : Formally Salem and Effy, Rui on the down-low.
 * Portmanteau Series Nickname : Red Inc.
 * Power At a Price : Salem's super-powered psychic abilities come from the sacrifice of twelve people when she was born; Rui had to kill all her siblings and cousins to earn the right to be the Onmyodo practioner of her generation.

 * Sufficiently Analyzed Magic : Sure they're a cast of psychics of various powers, but they tote a ton of technology and background knowledge, too.
 * Training From Hell : It's implied Salem and Rui both suffered through it at Xue's hands.
 * And Cody is clearly next.
 * Trickster Archetype : Rui, though it's unclear whether she's doing this specifically to be mean or if it's just her true nature.
 * Who You Gonna Call? : Exactly what Redemption Inc. is.
 * Why Couldn't You Save Them? : Has happened before, unfortunately.
