Mortal+/Theme/Hobbyist Cliques/Mind’s Eye Society/Overview

 Founded in 1990 by William Rogers and Devan Orsey, the Mind’s Eye Society is a haven for mortals who find themselves drawn in the world of the supernatural. The clique functions as a support group, research team, and investigation force; seeking out unnatural occurrences to learn about them and protect humans if need be. While some might balk at the amount of self-experimentation the Society does, membership does have its privileges. Whether it’s a rare book or understanding shoulder to lean on, the Mind’s Eye Society functions as a close knit community that seeks to improve the lives of its members by providing them resources in an unforgiving world.

 The Society meets once a month at Shelf Indulgence—Will’s occult, non-mainstream religion, and fringe science bookstore—at least as a group; members regularly communicate their latest finds and potential threats or new members, as well carry on social relationships beyond the camaraderie of the club of hobbyists. Members have come and gone over the years, some setting aside the stranger part of their lives, others disappearing under mysterious circumstances. While most who leave do so because they’ve started a family rather than because they went poking around the railroad tracks and were never seen again, there is a certain cloud of danger that hangs over the group, which probably explains why they cleave so close together.

 These days, the Society has a sizable membership, and enjoys a certain peace that was certainly not always present. With a diversity of members, from psychic vampires to overly-curious college professors, the group has a wide array of skills and abilities with which to face the future. Will you add to their ranks? How much more could you learn about the occult world; about yourself?
