We are not a Cult
Okay maybe we are.
The People's Temple has been a long standing fixture, or at least it's congregation is. A popular place of worship for decades the little Catholic church burned down in an accidental fire eight years ago, leaving its Sunset district neighborhood and congregation without a place of worship. As times became more trying they'd all began to branch off to other churches, though this hole in their lives and in the community was never quite filled. Five years later and several failed attempts to fund-raise by an old tired minister and a secret investor would wipe their deficit and then some, clean. A new temple was built a block from the old, re-branded, renamed, and within its walls its people and their faith in a new youthful minister, grew.
Listen carefully to their words, What they ask, and preach and maybe you'll hear their warnings. Listen to what they ask, and know that your soul won't come out at the end of it.

Minister Morgan / TAKEN
The Minister: of the order Morgan is the most trusted, and also the face of everything, a puppet who's strings are pulled and yanked by Matthias himself. They've been together for centuries now and are, for people who are just bound by Hellish ties, carefully and wholly wrapped 'round each other. Their trust in one another is never questioned, nor is their seeming obsession with the other. They're no longer lovers but there's no doubt that where one goes, the other is likely looming nearby. Morgan's duties within the order are fairly simple, though also broad; he is quite literally their minister and thus he spreads the word of "God", while peppering prophetic doomsday narrative (that'll be escalated over time.) His flock are his own and he should be protective over them, while also caring little over their actual fate. What's his, is his, a point of fact he learned from his sire.
Sister Minerva / Caitriona Balfe
the social advocate; she's the face the people reach out for help, the one that they meet before they're allowed time with the busy minister. she runs their soup kitchen and schedules all their community outreach programs, as well as manages the other sisters. She is aware of what Matthias is, though she's the only of the sisters that do. Minerva, lovingly known as 'Minny', is the head of the sisters that help the temple. not true nuns, these women aren't sworn to God and they're not required to live chaste and holy lives. they're simply women dedicated to a cause. Minerva herself is the one who coined them as 'sisters' and that people have assumed them nuns, is their own business and one which Minny isn't so quick to correct or mind. Her loyalty is dictated by a sworn promise to make her one of Matthias' own, when the end dawns.
Sister Luci / Anya Taylor-Joy
The Sunday School Teacher; Lucinda (Luci) is an intense-eyed young woman who's as sweet and demure as people think her opposite. Often misunderstood she joined the clergy as their first Sunday school teacher and has thrived in the position to become director of education. She's as close to an actual nun as the sisters have but even she isn't wholly sworn to God, her faith has been wavering as of late and beneath the teachings of Morgan. Luci is not aware of Matthias is or what the order is, she's simply a pure soul looking to fit in and belong somewhere. Matthias himself, tends to dote on her for this and spends more time with her than he does some of the others. There's tension between Luci & Daphne due to this.
Sister Daphne / Samara Weaving
The Wild Child; A secondary Sunday school teacher, Daphne is also head of the choir and the ministry's own loose cannon. She's proven to be someone who easily ensnares those of her own age (wonder why) and easily convinces them to join rank. Daphne also heads a lot of the youth/teen activities within the community and has hosted several silent dances. Whether she was the one who spiked the punch or not, no one will ever know~ Daphne is not aware of what Matthias is, nor the order. She was sent to the church under her mother's demands and stayed after learning it was nothing like a church at all. Matthias and Daphne have a playful relationship in which he supports and encourages her wild, and she looks up to him as a father figure (of sorts). There's some tension between Daphne & Luci because of this.
Deacon Blaise / TAKEN
The Community Governor; a secondary minister, though not as widely accepted, Blaise is mostly and mainly known as the muscle of the group. The one who keeps an eye on the flock and keeps them in line when panic sets in. He's not the best at soothing said panic, but if people overstep, he's sure to be there. There's some playful rivalry between Blaise and Minerva, the sort that picks at one another endlessly, but is largely non-toxic. Blaise does know what and who Matthias is and is trusted among the inner circle, though he tends not to take anything serious enough to be on-par with Morgan. Respected nonetheless.
Director Natasha 
The Holy Ghost; not actually dead, this director is more a secretarial go-between for Matthias and Morgan. Their duty is primarily to watch over the church as a whole and report to Matthias, where Morgan generally only reports what needs to be, this ghost reports everything. A well rounded members of the ministry, they can fill any of the roles as needed, though most often they're back up for the deacon and silent support for the sisters. Respected within the ministry as a figurehead, they can optionally manage the books and the others (or take a more hands-off approach in this field), as well as the other cogs. They're not afraid to slap down or enforce rules, anymore than they are to support their fellow members. Their loyalty lies with Matthias, and can branch out to his other endeavors as well, as they do know who and what he is. His quiet and looming right hand that oils the wheels and makes sure they're all running smoothly for the others.

LA SWAT
The Leader
The group's official leader, will need extensive tactical training with some (to extensive) military experience, and to have been with the team for years. Someone warm but tough, who views this team as their second family and helps to hold them all together; supporting and guiding them all. POC FC highly preferred!!
The Mechanic
The 2nd longest standing member, would prefer if they were generational SWAT (their father & grand-father were also); their primary role is driver, but they can fix, break into and jerry-rig anything on the fly. Very mechanically & technology gifted.
The Vice Connect
A former officer with the LAPD Vice Squad, this one will be the 3rd longest standing members, they'll have cartel links and a handful of people undercover they can reach out to for information on anything drug, or smuggling related.
The K-9 Medic - Reserved
One of the newer members, they'll have been a former K-9 specialist, encompassing search & rescue as well as drug/bomb identification, with an extensive background in front-lines wound patching and tactical medical training. Whether they have a dog or not, is up to you (can always borrow one from the force), but will be a plus! The dog won't accompany them always, but will be brought in as needed~
The Hotshot Sniper
Joined a month prior to Helena, this char is the youngest of the group, having been brought on for their potential as a sniper and to see them straightened out under the strict tutelage of their peers. They're cocky although they have less training than the rest, they're street smart and quick to think on their feet, though they tend to be brash and work out of turn - often defying orders and needing to be wrangled back in.
The Military - Taken by Sarah
Helena has an extensive military background, working with both special ops and a private security company, while also serving multiple tours in active duty in the middle east where she saw years of combat. Before the US military Hel served within the fae army (Dawn), growing up within their ranks, so she's known very little but strict training and routine throughout her life. She serves as the brute force and scaled shield of the group, and while she's one of the newer members her training and experience often sets her as the second-in-command; leading 2 others of the group when flanking is needed.
For more information on the wanted ad you can find it here.
The Los Angeles S.W.A.T. teams are highly skilled teams of 5-6 that function as one, living, breathing, tactical unit. Tasked with taking on some of the most stressful and dangerous jobs in the city, they typically respond to, alongside to other groups, bomb threats, heavy gang activity, stash house raids, stand-offs, bank robberies, cartel raids or infiltrations, etc. SWAT teams are highly regarded among the force - respected by police (most of their members being former officers) - and military alike. All members of SWAT will need to have special skills that bring something unique to the table along with extensive training.
All background can be expanded upon and given more training and encompass other areas (can have more than one skillset!!), this is just a jumping off point for the group~
Training:
Minimum of 5y within the regular police force.
Advanced weapons training.
Extensive training in combat techniques and self-defense.
Specialized vehicle operations (like armored trucks).
Extensive tactical - war-like - training.
Undercover training.
All members will need to pass the SWAT exam (which is physical and grueling, has a pass-rate of less than 5%), and cover most if not all of the above areas. Actual military experience isn't required but is highly sought after!

“If I know the Mad King at all, this is about power. And what would be more powerful to a king, than an army of things never meant for his world? I think this is about mass production, not erasure. You’d not do him any good, dead.”

Black Claw Security
Black Claw, at face value, is a private security firm specializing in the protection of high profile clients, where its underbelly is a bit seedier and tied to The Syndicate. For all intents and purposes, it's a public face to cover its partnered group of hitmen. All of Black Claw's operatives work primarily as 'plain clothes' specialized security, most holding training in various combats if not direct war experience, while their home base houses the bulk of their people; all tech-based or gifted in magic.

Ace & Deuce
Ace & Deuce is everything you wouldn't expect given who runs the bar. A simple brick building is nothing that calls out to anyone, but despite its unassuming nature, and its cartel connections, Ace & Deuce is everything you would never expect, an eclectic mixture of many things that shouldn't make sense, and yet, oddly works well together. The exposed brickwork speaks of a place long neglected and used, and yet the perfect, odd mixture of everything else speaks much of the time and dedication that actually went into designing the bar.
Always filled with an odd mix of people, you can get everything you expect and more, and for those in the know, the back room gambling Den is something that is always packed to the rafters.

Arcadia & Sevastopol Schools
These two schools have had a long standing, underlying rivalry with one another, something that's upheld and promoted by their staff as a means of pushing their students. They have yearly competitions and both also have sports teams and such, so any and all heads of those are welcome as well (think magical debate club, hex & ward competitions, potion brew-offs, etc). Both schools are open to any and all witches and spellbinders. As it consists of the under 18 crowd all students will be NPCed, but teachers and staff are more than welcome!
