Title: Agents of G.U.A.R.D. or W.A.R.D.?
Post by: Griffyn612 on August 15, 2021, 03:13:16 PM
If we were making a Dresdenverse equivalent to Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D., what would we name it?

Global Unified Alliance for Reality's Defense
or
World Alliance for Reality's Defense

Or is there a better acronym?

G.U.A.R.D. agents could be called Guardians.
W.A.R.D. agents could be called Wardens.

The latter might be too well known amongst the magical community to be trusted.

M.O.B., the Mortal Oddities Bureau.  Staffed by the mobsters.  ;D

Well given all the C names:

Coalition Obfuscating and Unseeing Random Threats, COURT

Cabal Obfuscating and Utilizing Nameless Critters Including Lawyers, COUNCIL

(seriously, the bar ain't high given Marvel's standards, poked fun at in Agents of SHIELD)

More like Moral Obfuscation Business if Marcone is involved.

But would they really want ties to those the came before? Or would they want a fresh start?

If you want mortals to protect themselves from the supernatural, you've got to get

P.I.T.C.H.F.O.R.K.
Paranormal Intelligence Tactical Combat Headquarters For Observation and Reality Keeping

The supernatural community has to watch out for those forkers.  ;D
