Ministry of Lost Souls

History
'''The Ministry of Lost Souls was a Crown sanctioned project in Victorian Britain during a resurgence of spiritualism and the occult. It was tasked with the defence of the British empire from supernatural threats, namely Hollows. For this purpose British citizens with unusual abilites, namely Fullbringers, were sought out and pressganged into service to the crown in defence of the realm. After the death of Queen Victoria in 1901 support for the project waned significantly, though in 1908 with the establishment of the British Military Intelligence Services it was given the title British Military Intelligence Section 0 or MI0. With the reallocation of resources due to the second world war and the rationalisation of previously unexplained phenomena the project was officially shelved in 1948. Regarded as an embarassment by the British government MI0 now supposedly exists solely as a ghost story for the intelligence services new recruits. However black clad men and women are often witnessed at crime scenes and sites of suspected terrorist action. '''
