Org (H5)

"Org" - short for "organization" - is a Hunter term that refers to any formal group that exists to hunt monsters as a means to an end rather than for its own sake. While generally larger and better-equipped than most hunter cells, orgs are characterized as hunting the supernatural to support a status quo or preserve the power of a group of elites (or simply themselves).

Types of Orgs

Orgs can be roughly categorized into five different "types" of monster-hunting associations, each with their own methods and stereotypes associated with them:

  • Academic - An org consisting of individuals whose main goal is the gathering and hoarding of information in regards to the paranormal.
  • Corporate - An org that has in some way managed to monetize the process of monster-hunting, oftentimes taking the form of elaborate scams.
  • Government - A branch of a government dedicated to hunting down the supernatural in order to preserve its own hegemony and national interests.
  • Religious - A group united united against the supernatural by a common faith - either sponsored by a larger religion or themselves some form of cult.
  • Vigilante - Often starting out as grassroots cells themselves, this type of org usually forms when its members' desire for control begins to supersede their previous goals.
