We've all heard the story: Someone makes a deal with a fiendish entity, be it a devil or a demon or a surly spirit, and signs or seals some kind of contract containing the terms of the agreement, which is often skewed in the contractor's favor. Although... who keeps track of all of these contracts? There are countless fiendish entities all throughout the realms, and all the oaths and seals and deals any one malevolent force makes can quickly grow too large and too many to keep track of.
That's where the Bureau of Demonic Contracts and Summoning steps in to save the day! Here at BDCS, we organize, renew, and revise the contracts of all the fiends here in the Underworld, as well as help those new to the contracting business create their first few contracts: All for the low, low price of 1.5% of all profits from aforementioned contracts. And now, we're hiring! Demons, devils, genies, ghosts, and even souls of the Underworld are all welcome here, and we can't wait to welcome you to the business!
BDCS: Dealing with the Devil for over 8,000 years.
The Rules:
We strongly believe in a healthy, friendly work environment. Any harassment or overly aggressive behavior towards another employee is strictly prohibited, and can even be deemed a fireable offense if necessary.
Do keep everything PG-13 at absolute most. Occasional swearing (if censored by [1GP]) is allowed, but nothing vulgar. The succubus branch of things is not here: Our division is entirely different.
Be nice to your fellow employees, and combat is prohibited unless both sides consent (just don't do it inside). We don't want a repeat of the Ochre Jelly Tart incident. (don't ask)
Don't be afraid to take a break from the grind if you need to, but do notify us beforehand. This may be hell, but we believe in a healthy work-life balance.
Have fun!
At the entrance of the Bureau, a young-looking devil wearing a business-casual suit walks outside. She looks at a watch on her wrist, walks over to a sign that says 'NOW HIRING', and brushes some of the ash off of its front with her hand. She then walks back inside.

A young man, maybe about 19 or 20 years of age, appears in front to the entrance to the Bureau. He has smooth jet black hair, eyes that glow a dark orange, and an immaculate face. He's covered in a dark robe that hangs on his shoulders, and has a small note tucked in its front pocket. He walks inside.

Inside the main hall of the Bureau, you see all sorts of bronze piping latticed across the ceiling and back wall. Marble columns on either side are held up by marble statues of various people, all of which are carved to appear that they are struggling to hold the weight. Behind the front desk sits a large demon that resembles a tree without leaves, with one bloodshot eye in its center. They type away at a device resembling a typewriter for a moment, look at you with a blatant lack of interest, and type some more.
"Do you have an appointment?"

* This looks cool, I might like to join. Can I ask a few questions first to make sure I understand how this works in order to create a character?
So we create characters like fiends, djinns, and spirits that are in Hell who create contracts with mortals and/or other beings. Are fey allowed? They are also big on the rule binding, but they aren't commonly found in Hell. Are mortals who aren't dead allowed? What do we do here? Is there going to be some sort of adventure? Is it just roleplay like a tavern? Do we need to have statblocks for our characters? I guess I am a little confused as to how this works. What would the average character's reason be to be a part of this? When you say break from the grind, do you mean leave the forums for awhile?
Sorry if these questions are weird or obvious. This does look like a really cool idea though. *

*Don't worry about these questions! I'm more than happy to clarify.*
*Yes, fey and mortals who aren't dead are allowed, and the purpose of the Bureau is to keep track of contracts that malevolent beings make. Mostly, it's just for RP, and you don't need stats for your character unless you want them to be able to participate in combat, which only occurs if its a friendly spar between two characters. 'Break from the grind' does mean taking a break from the thread, and I'd say the average character's reason to be here would be looking for a job at the Bureau, but that's entirely up to the person in control of that character.*
*I hope this clears things up for you, as well as any other people who were confused about what this thread is.*

Appearing from a strange pool of black goo is a Small humanoid. They seem to be human, about 15-16 years old. As they exit the pool, their hair shifts from a distorted black to a light brown. Their skin does the same. They are wearing a light yellow turtle neck sweater and black jeans. Every once in a while, their messy, fluffy hair turns black at the ends for a few seconds. They walk in.

You are standing outside the Bureau, and you can see through the stained glass door (with some difficulty) that there is someone standing in front of a desk, talking to a demon resembling a tree.
