Who are we?
TLDR
VRAD is a VRChat RP group based on the Men In Black. We study and defend against (not just aliens) but all types of anomalies in the metaverse. At our core, Agents investigate and catalogue strange phenomena by interacting with other VRChat players in public instances, with a focus on comedic improv. We also hold regular lore events with predefined stories, where Agents are tasked with resolving an over-arching threat using unique gadgets and weapons. Through collaboration and strategic planning, agents participate in activities in a very dynamic way, where they control the story and contribute to the permanent lore. With the writers adapting to the agents actions.
We are currently developing a Discord bot with RPG functions that will have a direct effect on Agents abilities while in VRC. This is an attempt to bridge the gap between our VRC events and the seemingly disjointed Discord experience that these groups tend to struggle with. The first of it's kind I believe, with the intention of creating a more immersive 24/7 experience for those looking for such things.
The group offers a dynamic and engaging experience for those looking to explore the metaverse's hidden secrets.
The full version
Depends who’s asking! If you’re a civilian, we’re nobody. There’s nothing to see here. Forget you ever saw us and close this document.
Ok, good…
For the potential recruits among you, VRAD was first established in 1752. VR didn’t exist back then, so we sat around for 262 years doing nothing. Then on the eve of January 16th 2014, VRChat was brought online for the first time, and when the developers booted up VRChat for the first time, we were already there, waiting…
The Virtual Reality Anomaly Division. Our time to shine was upon us.
Back in those days the Metaverse was pretty intense, a wild west of 1’s and 0’s if you like, and gradually more weird shit started to happen. But we were there, watching, collecting data and protecting the handful of citizens from the metaversal oddities.
Cast your mind back, do you remember those annoying Ugandan Knuckles fuckers? Just running around, arrogantly talking shit about people, accusing them of not knowing de wae. You don’t see many of them anymore do you? …You’re welcome!
That’s what we do. Shit memes don’t die of natural causes, they die because we punch them out of existence.
But we don’t always want to destroy the anomalies we find, sometimes we just want to observe them and collect data. Some metaversal oddities are harmless. Those are the ones we like to rip open and examine. Our main focus is data extraction. Our goal is to catalogue every anomaly within the metaverse and study it to find out it’s capabilities, threat levels and sometimes even what flavour it is!
By reading this, you just became the property of VRAD. The life you once knew is behind you. Nobody can know you exist. By reading this, you chose to let go of your friends, family, spouse, kids. Everything. Don’t worry though, we’ll make sure to give you an epic fake death so the people you once knew get some closure. You can choose from the following options:
1) You were eaten by a shark during a skiing trip. The shark was carrying an uzi.
2) You got run over by 53 tanks and an entire marching band.
3) You became a world champion at art, but one day your art became so powerful that you burst into flames.
Community tone
This is a light hearted community with similar style humour to the MIB. Example: Our lowest ranked Agent, fresh out of training can not be trusted with the high power weapons we use, we lost too many agents that accidentally vaporise themselves. As a result, Rookies will be issued cardboard weapons that fire elastic bands. Research shows that rookies get excited at the twanging sound the elastic bands make.
