The Supernatural Registration Authority

The Second World War displaced tens of thousands of supernatural entities from Russia and Eastern Europe, many of whom fled west to the United States, Canada and Brazil. These entities often arrived as unregistered refugees, skirting immigration processes and flooding cities and rural areas. By 1953, the UN had received sufficient pressure from its member nations that a special subcommittee was established by the UN Commission on Human Rights to deal with the “monster problem”. The Supernatural Refugee Board was charged with helping supernatural entities of all types integrate with human society. Nearly 60 years later, the organization’s name has changed and its direct affiliation with the United Nations has ended, but its role remains the same. Today the Supernatural Registration Authority is responsible for tracking the birth/creation, movement, employment and death/transubstantiation of the world’s supernatural entities. Our mission is the peaceful coexistence of all sentient species, and we will stop at nothing to achieve it.

The Supernatural Registration Authority prides itself on providing adequate assistance to those who register, including public housing for those with refugee status or inadequate shelter, government funded education and training, and proper medical care.

The SRA provides mandatory registration and optional licensing services for members of the international supernatural, paranatural and magico-religious communities. If you are entity listed in the SRA Entity Index and you do not have a Supernatural Entity Number, you must register.

By registering with the SRA, non-human entities guaranteed due process and a fair trial in any civil or criminal legal proceedings related to their supernatural capabilities.

For the safety of the public, the SRA requires all Supernatural’s to register within the required timeline. Failure to register will result in extreme negative consequences.

If you are supernatural, paranatural or other SRA-governed entity and you remain unregistered beyond the allowable amnesty window for your type, you may be subject to actions that include (but are not limited to):

• Arrest on sight
  
• 24 – 72 hour remand while your identity and status are determined
  
• Search and seizure of personal property
  
• Forced registration, with restrictions
  
• Forcible removal from public, municipal or federal property
  
• Deportation
  
• Nullification of non-human abilities (procedures may include surgery or mental conditioning)
  
• In extreme cases, immediate termination
  

The Supernatural Enforcement and Protection Act of 1952 states that the SRA’s duty to protect human lives supersedes the US Constitution, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and all similar human rights laws.

The scope of the Entity Index is broad enough that 99% of all supernatural, paranatural and magico-religious entities fall within one of the 43 classifications. Some classifications, such as “Ghost” or “Shaman”, can be considered synonyms for many more specific entity types. If you do not see your entity type in the Index, you should register as the nearest applicable synonym. If there is simply no classification that describes you, synonym or otherwise, you are an entity classification that does not fall within the SRA’s jurisdiction, and are required to report to your local SRA office for evaluation/documentation. Registration as multiple entity types is allowed and documentation necessary by law.

Special note for were-creatures:

As per the Stockholm Shape-Shifter Protocol, the classification for all were-creature other than werewolf is “Therianthrope”, regardless of which feral traits the entity displays. The SRA has neither the resources nor the desire to manage discrete classifications for the dozens of other were-creatures identified.
