As I recently promised, I’ll be sharing slime-covered snippets of some new Ghost Punchers material over the next few weeks. Specifically, I’ll be examining how some punchers come together to pursue their crusade. After all, while we’ve looked at the types of people most likely to embrace the higher calling of spectral violence,we’ve never discussed how they get along together.
Not all who punch ghosts do so alone. Over the years, ghost-punching organizations have arisen to support the safety and effectiveness of their members. These shadowy groups have never been populous or influential in the world at large, but play an important part in defending humanity from the horrors of the spirit world.
While there are dozens of such groups operating at any given time, here are four of the most well-known in ghost-punching circles:
- Order of the Sacred Shield: A religious secret society of exorcists and pugilists operating from out of the Vatican.
- Singular Security: An exclusive security firm whose agents punch ghosts on behalf of its rich and corporate clients.
- Circle of the Ebon Star: An ancient order of occultists dedicated to exploring the spirit realms–and punching them into submission.
- Ghost Spotters Network: A loose community of amateur, part-time ghost-hunters who hang out on the Internet exchanging insults, memes, and reports of paranormal activity.
Intrigued? Great! Come back next time when I poke the Sacred Shield with a sharp stick and see what comes out!
