I'll be the first to really admit, humanity never really could be ready for other races, supernatural or otherwise to co-exist. Our greatest flaw and our greatest strength - numbers, and in the movie - Men In Black, the statment - A person is a smart, people are dumb. It wouldnt be the first to paint it to claim we are the heroes when infact we are just another grey option in a line of choices for good or ill. Someone - long term - gets shafted, or worse fails to see the mistep from forty steps ago that led to the catestrophic failure. We dont recruit from military, we don't expect you to know how to use a gun or any firearm. While sometimes needed, the beings you are facing or redirecting require more than your trusty 7.62mm rifle, in somecases that alone isnt enough to even stop them, more just add to the amusement as they tear you apart.
The Accord - is a deal that is often recognised, respected and acknowledged and those who often dont tend to see its unwanted consequences and pay the dearest of prices.
Humanity isnt the one who holds the power.
Neither are those who are gifted in the arcane arts and of a different blood known either as witches, wizards, warlocks. - While they look human, looks are at best. Its whats in their blood that can either rip your own from your viens, turn your insides outside, make you do it to yourself or get those of a lesser will to do it for them. Rare still are they who are willing to pay the price for inflicting such horrific pains on others, others abhor violence and instead are more connected to healing, knowing, understanding. While insular, connected and bound to families or Covens as some would call them - there are the rare few who do - pursue things that shouldnt be and power that none of sane mind would dare possess.
Neither are those who walk the night and abhor the day, the bloodletters, the longest lived and incredibly dangerous. Bound to bloodlines, families or even groups. To each is a force and with it their own abilities, prowess and abilities.
Vampires, is the common term though I assure you dont expect fucking sparkle vampires. While they may have their humans addicted to their blood as thrawlls, others are more so ambitious, aloof or arrogant. The Accord stands and their territories are respected as sometimes you need those with longer memories than yours and coffers, or knowledge thought forgotten. Others can be altruistic, attuned to the emotions of others and disarmingly much more human and at other times as cold blooded as any would be serial killer.
Neither are those who come from paths outside our own, that see from the limited realms of our reality to step into this dour world as if it were a blank canvas. The fae as some call them and like any other, respected, carefully spoken to at all times and if often treated with caution. The fae is a broad stroke of a already well saturated brush. Most tend to follow those of their courts, or inner circles. Prone to see more and at the same time less but never to be underestimated for even the most disarming creature can wrek untold chaos and disharmony. Or worse, get too ambitious and this is why the Accord stands firm like a firebreak to the Masquerade. Though this doesnt also apply to the spiritual - the ghosts, spectures and unsent spirits that meander - with no real body to govern them. Those of the spirit or entities category fall into the same accord - Death sadly doesnt adhere to the Accord as sadly that - is indifferent and indescriminate.
Lastly, neither is those called the shapeshifters, the were-creatures who can walk as both human or beast. Some roam in larger packs, own swathes of territory or sanctuaries of hunting grounds.
From my advice, better left alone for good reasons - mess with one you mess with them all. Some are more attuned to that of the spirits of nature, the understanding of their twin souls or inner beast and with it gifted senses that us humans lack - that is until we had the technology to adapt and out thwart. Looking back, these creatures are one of the many I warmed that conventional firearms really wouldn't come close to touching.
So what do we have that these beings dont already have access to.
They have read our history and have all the better reason to fear what humanity could do - would do - if once more aware of the Supernatural world.
The witch trials are enough evidence for those of the arcane to keep hidden.
The horrors of humanities cruelty and attrocities are enough for the shapeshifters and were-creatures to see humanity as either a threat to their own, despite mingling with humanity for their own bloodlines.
The vampires - while long and experienced are just as scathed, While they need blood to survive - it didn't stop humans from fearing the unknown and hunting them despite their at first cautious actions - some prefer hunting humans, nowadays with the invention of blood banks this is much less. However - there have been other ways to scratch the itch - most common the unwanted and barely contained prisoners of hardenned criminals.
The fae - with the use of Iron humanity made the world less habitable, with the environmental destruction angered those who sadly also succumbed to human cruelty.
We - ensure the Accord is held - we train for a time when there is a risk of a broken masquerade - a time where an arcane goes rogue, a were-creature or shapeshift turns against their family ideals, a rogue vampire who seeks to rule or claim a zone free or worse when a fae seeks to overstep and gorge themselves on humanities emotions resulting in human husks. Even to the point where Arch fae arrive and consume humans using the husks or other fae as unwilling servants or under threat of having their essence claimed. We arent a country based organization - but we do have some other things to involve in. As agents - as team members and as a group we tend to be that edge to ensuring the Masquerade continues.

That is. Until something else arrives and causes us, to instead of ensuring our preventative efforts and minimal contact - results in something more substantial.
And something much worse arrives requiring us all - human or not to overcome and face such dangers or face Mutual Assured Destruction.

Synopsis:
Where you come from, or who or what you are doesnt matter.
What brought you here - is that something forgotten is about to be remembered.
Amber or Red lines descended - what they were or are for - none can recall other than at night they are visible.
But those who once forgot, now are getting the time to be drawn and remember. The masquerade is about to be torn open - those who would have prevented it have either been captured or removed or worse replaced.
But worst of all was this thing that caused all to forget about the Accord - only now the Accord is drawing those together to maintain the pledge that their past had sworn to maintain.
