Fantasy Bureau of Investigation

We wouldn't be a very good secret organization we posted job openings on Indeed.

— FBI Executive

The Fantasy Bureau of Investigation is intentionally misleading. They call themselves the FBI, and their badge and motto are remarkably similar to their partner organization. Often, people starting work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation get shuffled off to fill roles with the Fantasy Bureau without their knowledge. This is only done to individuals with personality profiles indicating such a shuffle will be successful. And it usually is.

Methods

Nature of the Hunt
Hunts are as varied as their potential targets. Most are low risk and require a diplomatic mind. The agent may need to discredit someone who knows too much, or make arrangements for someone with unexpected abilities. In other cases, the hunts are for true monsters, beings who will hunt you in kind and have no remorse for your death.

The FBI and organizations like it across the globe collectively decided the best way to handle the supernatural in a modern society is to keep it secret as best as possible. Situations in which this information was exposed, whether intentionally or not, have historically been disastrous. (See: the dark ages, witch hunts, plagues, and more.)
Once an active threat is acknowledged, a "hunt" begins. Agents are assigned to handle the threat through whatever means best suit the situation. Non-lethal means are always preferred, with FBI buildings being capable of safely housing all manner of supernatural beings as needed. Cover-up protocols are engaged after the hunt to provide mundane explanations for any perceived events and discredit whistleblowers as unhinged conspiracy theorists.

Classification System

To adequately track threats, both potential and actual, the FBI documents those who have had direct interaction with the supernatural and rates them on three scales. These ratings accompany an in-depth file covering additional information and nuance, but the scales provide at-a-glance information and tie into an automated alert system for various changes.

Human/Inhuman

Considers genetics, appearance, and how well the subject can assimilate into human society. A witch might be rated a 1 or 2, a vampire somewhere in the middle, and a werewolf is often higher.

Mundane/Supernatural

Focused on the subject's capabilities. Anything above a 1 indicates some degree of superhuman ability, whether magical or physical, such as superhuman strength.

Contained/Volatile

Rates how likely the subject is to cause harm, whether to themselves or others, or by exposing secrets that the FBI is trying to keep. Does not rate the extent of possible harm.

Power Rating
A volatile subject's power rating defines how difficult they will be to contain, and is left blank until there is an active hunt. This is to ensure it's as accurate as possible with current variables such as weapons and location that could impact containability of the subject.
