The World
Long ago before mankinds recorded history there existed the era of magic, a wonderous era of excessive knowlegde and culture and of course it was an equally dangerous era. Dragons coasted high in the skies, orc hordes wandered the wilds, mighty sorcerers and wizards changed the world around them and built magnificent structures that persist despite natures fury even today. For hundreds of thousands of years magic flowed throughout the world until 24 thousand years ago when the worlds most advanced and prideful civilization, Atlantis, doomed the world.
Through their studies of magic and physics they had discovered Six mystical forces that seemed to permeate the entire universe. Using their advanced technology and Powerful magics they called these six forces back to earth. The impact of these forces landing shook the earth to its core, unleashing the contents of a massive subterranean ocean onto the world resulting in a global flood that would be recorded by every civilization that survived the extinction event. Thus began the Era of Man.

It would take the unfortunate survivors thousands of years to recover a semblance of their previous grandeur as mankind rebuilt and formed the first civilizations. However while most of the world had been destroyed magic itself persisted. Many mirtals found these magic forces creating a variety of new magical creatures. Some attained divine power and became gods, others became monsterous creatures with abnormal abilities. However it became hard to tell them apart with their behaviours being so similar. However a little over 5000 years ago a strange occurance forced the Gods of the various pantheons to lose their grip on the forces of the world and the Era of mankind began to grow into its full swing.
Civilizations rose and the humans began to push the monsters into obscurity as they hunted them and slew them in mass. The gods persisted until the rise of monotheism cut them away from the prime source of their power. Soon the nations and histories of earth would follow as the history we all know played out. However that all changed again in the year 1347 when the black plague was kicked off by a coven of witches to help create the powerful vampire patriarch Dracula who would rise to power nearly a century later. This began mankinds war with the darkness and heralded the Formation of the Inquisitors of the catholic church.
The church would continue its campaign against monsters and they were widely successful. Too successful, people began to stop beleiving in the existence of monsters, the Inquisitors ranks thinned as less and less people signed up to fight these monsterous creatures, because they had become more and more rare. In the year 1779 the final nail was hammered in their coffin as the leader of the inquisitors George Washington moved to the united states washing his hands of the organization. Then in 1793 the last of their order was killed attempting to slay the monster created by the Scientist Victor Von Frankenstien. Thus ended the Inquisitors and with it the hunt for monsters had seemed to end.
However this all ended in 1936 when the Nazi party of Germany began to dabble with occult magics and transdimensional beings we know as demons. Though the allied forces were successful in stoping the axis powers, they failed to prevent the demons from being released on earth. As such after the war they started the united nations, an organization built with the purpose of slaying these demons, hiding behind the guise of preventing global war. In reality these agents began to hunt the demons who naturally shared habitats with mystical monsters of all kinds, thus revealing to the agency that the monsters they beleived to be myth and legend actually existed and posed an active threat to humanity.
Seeing no other option they allied with he faiths of the world and even with a few monsters or dieties that were a bit less murderous towards humanity. However things seem to have begun to reach a flash point as demons have convinced the monster population that humanity wont stop this time until they are both all dead. As such demons and monsters have begun to form alliances to oppose the U.N and their monster hunters. Though both sides are convinced of their own rightiousness and inevitable victory, with powerful creatures and magics on both sides its almost impossible to tell who will survive this Monster Mash.
