Finnish father, Maori mother (Yes, my dad had all sorts of tales of his adventures around the world, including meeting my mom). Two reasons: The money-and because of the thrill. So why even stick one's nose in such a dangerous field, why not get as far away as possible once learning hidden depths with real man-eating monsters, blood-drinking beasts? Between keeping the general human populace in the dark (cleaning up witnesses, putting down the overly public), keeping the peace (rogue individuals, wanted criminals, official bounties, mundane mercurial work), and everyone looking after themselves first (kidnappings, robberies, assassinations) there is a wealth of work to be had if one has the stomach to do the morally gray, and do it amongst the nightmares of their childhood made flesh.īut how did I end up working as a sometime thief, sometime bodyguard, sometime killer, sometime kidnapper, sometime courier in such a place? Just as folklore suggests, most supernatural beings are not at all nice, and most have many ways to be much more dangerous than they really should. That strife of humans who largely have no idea this exists and power hungry beings from another kind of existence trying to preserve what they have-oh, it can create quite a mess. And, monsters as some may be, all are just as moved by the thought of personal profit and gain as any human-sweet to see how similar we are, isn't it? So, that first-classs black market and underworld of crime? Yup, magic infested. Yes, I am in fact being serious-trolls, ogres, faeries, werewolves, vampires, shinso and western-even certain polytheism's gods exist as supernatural rulers-DEFINITELY not the sort of beings you want to get on the radar of. Istanbul, like Jerusalem, the Vatican and Alexandria-other places I'm sure, but I only know local-is an ancient place-and happens to be one of the biggest hubs of the supernatural world, a crossing point for creatures and Outsiders from the other side of reality to slip in. One may ask how this could go unnoticed, as statistics put them far below south africa and central america. Thing is, Istanbul happens to be the host to the largest black market and collection of criminal syndicates in the world. It is, if you're a predator-not so much for the regular shits. I live in Istanbul, 2nd largest city in the world, a place that has a rather impressive tourism bureau-if you listened to them, sounds like a nice place to live.
