30 years ago humanity had been shook to the core. A force of unknown breached into this dimension, unleashing forces that were up until just stories and fairytales. This incident was called "The Gate" and it had brought about it supernatural beings from all across the imagination. From those that humans have heard of like that of vampires and werewolves, to the more uncommon as that of the neko and fairy dragon. All beings had crossed the gate and into human world. It seemed as though everything stood still, the heavens above and hell below watched with baited breath to see who would strike first. Humans were known to be fearful of what they did not know and the supernatural had been preserved as having god like complex to take over those that were weak.
But by some stroke of luck nether side attacked. Leaders from all sides came together to work out peace, it seemed as though the supernatural were just as confused as the humans and were in no position to start a war. Excluding a small few who had voiced their ideals of taking over the lands and ruling them with iron fist, they were quickly squelched by the majority. No, peace was what was brought upon the humans and supernatural. It seemed as though things would be good.
And it would have been good if those small few who had the ideals of ruling the lands and the humans had been taken seriously. Though they were ignored and pushed aside by the rest of their brothers and sisters they saw that working together they could create a faction that could indeed bring about their ways, bring about the uprising of supernatural and ruling over humanity. Breaking away from the rest of their pack those who wanted nothing more than domination created a new faction. They called themselves The Coven.
This was then how Athena was created, a government organization with trained humans and supernatural that are to keep an eye on everything that is going on and to keep any Coven activities down. Some see Athena as heroes, some see them as overstepping lines. It depends on who you ask though. For the most part Athena has kept humanity and supernatural at peace from both Coven and each other.
With Athena taking on the bigger targets another program was created, Bounties. Smaller targets that couldn't be bothered by Athena were handled by guns for hire, or Hunters as they like to be called. Law enforcement from towns or city are allowed to place bounties on any rogue supernatural that is causing harm and a Hunter can take the bounty. There have been times where Coven have been placed on as a bounty due to the town being too small and unable to wait for Athena to reach them.
It's been 30 years now, 30 years of new rules, new cities, new lives and new ways to go. However what remains the same is that The Coven remains a threat and their time for an uprising is coming.

HARPER STEELBITE
"Here ya go. $300 for the head of that damned beast you got for me." a man spoke who stood behind a plexiglass window. Pushing open a cash drawer he counted out the money in front of the person he spoke too and pushed the money towards them. With a smirk on his face he gave them a wink and a slight nod. "Always a pleasure having you take my harder hunts, Harper. At least I know it'll get done and I don't have a mess to clean up."
The woman that was spoken to nodded back to the man as she reached for the money and pocketed in her wallet. She tugged at her gloves to fit them just right on her hands and stared at the bounty hunter behind her aviator sunglasses. "Always have to keep myself at the top of the game you know. Especially in the big city. Nothing like it was in the country where hunts were small and hard to come by." With a wave of her hand Harper turned around and made her way to the door. Pushing it open her eyes squinted a little from the glare of the sun and soon the roar of the city came crashing into her ears and enveloped all her sense.
Humming of cars, shouting of people to one and other and the random smells that came with it could mess with anyone but it was harder on a supernatural. Wrinkling her nose and letting out a small rumble of a growl, Harper made her way to her pick up truck and opened the door. She slid herself in allowing a moment of silence before letting the engine roar to life. Welcome to Washington D.C., home of the capital of the state, second largest population in supernaturals and also home to a secret origination called Athena. A group that Harper use to be apart of but left when she saw them trying to push their own agendas.
With a huff it was quiet moments like these that made Harper think back to her days of being an Athena agent and how she was at the top of her game and was one of the best. She was a member of a special task force that had only other werewolves in it. They were a strike team that would go in behind enemies lines quietly and take them out fast and hard. Her team was damn well good at their job and she took pride in her work. But it always has to come crashing down now doesn't it? Stories like these don't have a happy ending to have the person leave an organization that they once believed in to become a gun for hire.
"You guys had to just lie to me and try to make me do something that was even to your standards heinous. Yet you wanted me to send my team in and tear apart that damn town, rip those innocent lives limb from limb and then have us write a report that they were all Coven." Harper mumbled as she was at a stop light. Her eyes stared steely at a vacant building. She had left immediately after that night had for around 20 years was on the run from Athena while also a hunter. But until a year ago something told her to come back to where it all started, to keep tabs on Athena and to perhaps finally make her face known from the shadows that she wasn't afraid of them anymore.
No longer running away from, Harper was ready to not only take down The Coven and other beast that were up for bounties but she was ready to take on Athena if need be. As the light changed green Harper drove down the road to a local bar that always held good information about anything that would go bump in the night, and also was known for hunters to frequent on their down time.
