Your Muse: Madeline Bellamy
Muse wanted: The rest of her team mates! (An occultist, a detective, a mad scientist; the list goes on.)

Book, Movie, Game, Other: Other.
PB: Whoever you like, although my only request is that you avoid Glee/CW faces.
Contact via: Commenting here's good, but I welcome PMs as well if that's more your cuppa tea.
I should probably preface this by saying that I'm not terribly active during the week, so anybody looking for anything fast-paced should prepare to be extremely patient or extremely comfortable with back-tagging. :)
So. Madeline is from a universe not unlike ours, except filled up to the wazoo with the paranormal and on the brink of some major scientific breakthroughs. In short: everything is a little more dangerous than you'd first expect. To the everyday citizen, the world they live in is pretty average and safe-looking. It's a lot like ours except more scientifically advanced by a small handful of years, so things like brainwashing and robots aren't completely impossible - but not so much that there's anything more to fear than the not-so-average criminal. There's been a spike in "mysterious deaths" lately for who-knows-why, but like most sci-fi/fantasy shows and/or films, the general public seem to be a bit blind to this development.
Enter the team! Part of an task force within the US, the lovely people I am requesting + Madeline have been specifically assigned to be part of the Government's team of professional "cleaners". They go after supernatural threats and generally fix things when people (rogue occultists and demon summonings, teenage Dungeons and Dragons players who accidentally call up a poltergeist or three, the occasional robot who accidentally gains sentience, etc, etc) fuck up. They tackle ghosts, demons, vampires, the odd zombie, evil witch doctors, evil people with ~psychic powers~, and the occasional mad science experiment. Say, for example, someone dies in a mysterious way that nobody seems to be able to explain. Inevitably, this, gets passed onto someone with higher authority than the local police - say, the FBI or CIA or whatever government agency is appropriate/tickles your fancy. When their team of elite agents can't figure out what went on, somebody with the appropriate level of clearance passes it along to some member of the government who then passes it onto this task force. From there, it's the team's job to do two things. 1) Figure out how this person died and what killed them, and 2) figure out if this thing or person is still out there, and either kill them or neutralize them so they can bring it/him/her into custody. Think Fringe with a little bit of Supernatural and Constantine, with bonus Hellboy, and you've got a good idea of what their world is like.
The team is made up of a plain-old human detective, one magician/occultist/demonologist/all things spiritual and biblical and whatnot, one android, one polymath (aka someone with adoptive muscle memory), a werewolf, a mad scientist and one extremely lucky fellow (who was blessed at birth by fairies, which explains his or her uncanny luck) and, of course, one precog in the form of Madeline here. Also: I've got a bit of additional stuff to say about each member of the team just in terms of world-building and things, so am fully prepared to answer any questions anyone might have!
