Introduction
The Supernatural Investigation Unit, or SIU for short, deals with any supernatural crime and supernatural anomaly, that takes place in Paris, France. In Paris the there is a team known as the inseparables. The SIU recruits people, only humans or half-breeds, to represent the human race in the law against the supernatural. These people must have some kind of link with the supernatural, or have a 'gift' and the inseparable's are no exception.
Their leader, Athos, is also known as the Captains second; who also had the misfortune of being born an empath. Athos ironically is the most unlikely empath d'Artagnan would have thought of the trio. Aramis always knew what people were thinking, it was a little creepy actually. Porthos was like a giant, cuddly bear; if he thought something was upsetting you, there was no way you could hide it from him. But Athos was like a statue frozen with a stoic face, is d'Artagnan didn't know better he would have thought the man unable to even blink.
Athos always wore an expression of indifference. After questioning the other two, he summarized that Athos kept his 'gift' locked away; the reason for locking away his gift was unknown. d'Artagnan was quite impressed when he found out; to lock away a gift from birth was considered extremely difficult. d'Artagnan had an unhealthy amount of respect for the man, since joining the SIU; Athos had been his role model.
Porthos, the largest of the renowned three, was well known in the rougher neighborhoods; and all d'Artagnan knew was that he joined the SIU after some sort of accident. The result was a type of aura seeing ability that developed; He doesn't talk about it nor use it if possible. d'Artagnan quite liked that Porthos had enough morals to not invade his or anyone elses privacy; and was ready to forgive him when he had unexpectedly given him a hug, he was having a bad day. However, the bad days had significantly lessened since being practically consumed by the inseparables, but they still made an appearance on an occasion; Porthos had apologized profusely when d'Artagnan had finished crying in his bear-sized hug. He knew the man had much less control over his 'gift' then Athos, and he couldn't blame him for that. As kind hearted as Porthos is, d'Artagnan had seen him training with Aramis a few times, and honestly Porthos was extremely intimidating when he wanted to be. Then again he had seen the big man, watch movie's with them and stroke Aramis's hair till the petulant man fell asleep. He was just glad he was on Porthos's side.
Aramis was extremely private about his reasons for joining the SIU, which was very uncharacteristic considering d'Artagnan had been with the inseparables for less than 3 weeks and he's seen Aramis naked quite a few times, more times than he would like. In fact, if he could he would find some spell to erase them from his memory permanently. But he's pretty sure Treville wouldn't consider it a necessary use of the SIU's witch's or yearly spell allowance.
All d'Artagnan knew was it wasn't any sort of 'gift', and he's almost certain that he's not a half breed as it was usually easy to determine a half's origins. The selection of supernatural creatures that could actually breed with humans was very limited, and there identifying characteristics were pretty obvious, - e.g. half fairy had unnatural eye colour, and half elf's had pointy ear and where usually obnoxious bastards from D'artagnan's limited experience. Therefore, they had to have at least one characteristic of their none human part. He had spent a whole weekend researching the subject, at the end of it, he had deduced that Aramis was half incubus, it fitted. Aramis always had a new 'lady friend' and could pick up women in any situation, it was as if he was born to do it.
When he had gone to Porthos for his confirmation, Porthos had laughed in his face and told him that it was a pretty good guess. So d'Artagnan set a plan, he had managed to infiltrate Aramis and Porthos's apartment and insisted he had drunk too much to drive home. Being the lovely person Porthos was, the couch had been offered to him in a heart beat. He waited till Aramis was asleep before creeping into his bedroom and placing the reveal-charm he had gotten off of Constance the previous day. To his immense disappointment, nothing happened. Aramis didn't morph to his 'true' demon appearance.
Aramis woke when d'Artagnan had tried to climb off of his bed and tripped, landing on a heap on the carpet. Aramis had laughed when he tried to explain his reason for entering his room uninvited. Aramis had said, "My bed is always open to you d'Artagnan, all you had to do is ask." While lounging very openly on his bed.
d'Artagnan had scuttled out of his room red faced, with another strike on the 'naked Aramis tally'. The next day Athos had pulled him aside and told him that neither he nor Porthos knew why Aramis had joined the SIU and had implored d'Artagnan to stop trying to find out. This was also accompanied with a lecture on privacy and warning that Aramis was not a man D'artagnan wanted to get on the bad side of; so he had left it at that. Athos's word was final, and he didn't want to try his patience of any of the three.
d'Artagnan, himself, had arrived on the SIU's doorstep after being urged to go to from his diseased father. d'Artagnan had screamed like a little girl when his father's ghost had turned up on his doorstep on the first full moon after his death.
d'Artagnan hadn't been doing well after his only parental figure was murdered. The police told him vampires had been the culprits, and that there was an odd amount of spiritual disturbance at the scene. They had asked him hundreds of questions about Alexander d'Artagnan and his 'enemies' of which d'Artagnan had told them his father had had none. The police had found forget-me-not's scattered around the crime scene; this had no meaning to d'Artagnan and he told them just that. The vampires in question still hadn't been found.
The three weeks after Alexanders death that lead up to his father's appearance at his front door, was odd, to say the least. d'Artagnan hadn't had much experience with the supernatural after all his small childhood village was sleepy and full of farmers. Before, he had never even shown an interest in the supernatural, let alone be confronted by one. For the three weeks leading to the full moon, d'Artagnan had seen, been confronted, threatened and seduced by all manner of supernatural creatures and beings. And frankly, he had had enough.
He fathers appearance had been surprising, but looking back on it, it was not unexpected. His father had told him to speak to the people at the SIU, and that he was in danger. It was all rather sudden, and d'Artagnan had burst into tears.
After traveling to Paris and talking to the people at the SIU, he found himself with a job, friends, a cozy room at the rather beautiful Constance's home and a supernatural link he really didn't want.
His link fell into the soul category - the most common of links and most unexplainable due to every soul individuality and that not much is known about souls to begin with.- and had some sort of attraction quality. Constance had explained it as a supernatural magnet, it made him more noticeable to supernatural beings and a sort of energy source for spirits, in short, he was a supernatural target.
Thankful or possibly regrettable Treville had put him with the inseparables for his training period, because as Treville said 'They need some god damn responsibility.'. d'Artagnan could hardly disagree, they acted like children one minute and psychopaths the next. It was definitely going to be an interesting few months till his training period was over.
