Description:

Pentagram Corp. is a covert magical organization dedicated to safeguarding the balance between realms, protecting humanity from unseen threats, and defending against powerful mystical adversaries. Led by individuals skilled in both arcane and tactical operations, Pentagram Corp. operates independently of any government, hero, or national interest. They are known for their neutrality, enforcing a strict code to maintain balance rather than wield their power for personal or political gain. Members of Pentagram Corp. are highly trained in various disciplines, including elemental magic, ancient rituals, cryptic sciences, and psychic defense. Due to their controversial mission, Pentagram Corp. is regarded with suspicion by many governments, traditional hero groups, and the magical underground alike. They often work in secrecy, moving between the shadows of world politics and interdimensional rifts, unfazed by borders or jurisdictions. Their operations include cleansing cursed relics, intercepting powerful artifacts, neutralizing eldritch threats, and negotiating pacts with interdimensional entities—all to prevent magical catastrophes unseen to the common world.

Lady Mojo established Pentagram Corp. as a response to escalating threats from hidden magical forces—forces that were not only invisible to the general population but often overlooked by traditional hero organizations. She brought together a team of gifted spellcasters, scholars, and supernatural warriors who shared her vision of protecting humanity from magical threats without the interference of politics or morality. In their early years, Pentagram Corp. faced resistance from hero communities and governments alike, who viewed the organization as a rogue faction acting outside the law. Despite this, Pentagram Corp. continued to grow, expanding its influence to an international scale by by the mid 2010s, forming alliances with trusted magical scholars and ancient practitioners across continents. Lady Mojo emphasized the importance of secrecy, relying on a complex network of underground informants, magical seals, and safehouses worldwide. This decentralized structure allowed Pentagram Corp. to operate fluidly, pursuing missions and monitoring mystical threats without ever being pinned down by a single entity or ideology.

Membership:

Lady Mojo She is the founding member of the Pentagram Corp. This organization started off with just her and a few interested magicians. Now, they serve as a barrier between the physical world and worlds beyond.

Most of the Pentagram Corp. are magicians but anyone can join if they have an interest in fighting supernatural threats. However, there must be some ability or experience that separates a potential candidate from the general population.

Resources:

Pentagram Corp is a shadowy paramilitary organization with roots in ancient magical traditions and cutting-edge occult research. Their R&D division, known internally as the Arcane Engineering and Development Department (AEDD), combines centuries-old magical knowledge with modern scientific methodologies to create weapons, tools, and defenses capable of combating supernatural threats. These advancements blur the lines between traditional sorcery and high-tech military hardware, giving Pentagram Corp a fearsome reputation in the supernatural underworld. The AEDD operates out of a sprawling subterranean facility, equipped with laboratories, arcane forges, libraries of forbidden knowledge, and secure containment cells for testing their creations against captured supernatural entities. The department is divided into several specialized sub-divisions, including Weapons Development, Defensive Systems, Arcane Communications, and Experimental Constructs.

Arcane Body Armor The AEDD has developed a series of body armor systems integrating enchanted materials for optimal protection against both physical and magical threats. These suits are lightweight yet offer unparalleled durability: 

Aegisweave Vests: Constructed from fabrics interwoven with enchanted threads, these vests can deflect projectiles, resist energy-based attacks, and mitigate elemental damage (e.g., fire or frost). 

Runic Plate Armor: Featuring etched runes across every surface, this armor absorbs and redirects magical attacks, making it indispensable for operatives facing hostile spellcasters. 

Ethereal Cloaks: These cloaks grant limited invisibility and the ability to phase through walls for quick escapes or infiltration missions. 

Each suit is equipped with a personal mana battery, a small crystalline power source that fuels the armor’s enchantments and can be recharged using ambient magical energy or specialized Pentagram Corp devices.

Arcane Bullets Pentagram Corp has revolutionized conventional ballistics by infusing bullets with magical properties. These projectiles are designed to bypass the natural resistances of supernatural creatures, such as ghosts, demons, and elementals. Key types include: 

Warded Rounds: Inscribed with protective glyphs, these bullets disrupt eldritch energies and are effective against ethereal beings. Upon impact, the glyphs release a pulse of energy that destabilizes incorporeal entities. 

Runed Hollow Points: Designed to maximize damage against demonic entities, these rounds are filled with holy water, powdered silver, or consecrated salt. The etched runes ensure the payload remains potent until impact. 

Mana-Draining Ammunition: Equipped with micro-enchantments, these bullets siphon magical energy from their targets, neutralizing spellcasters or weakening supernatural foes. 

Each type of bullet undergoes extensive testing to ensure compatibility with Pentagram Corp's custom firearms, many of which are magically enhanced to prevent jamming or degradation under extreme conditions

.

Wand-Gun Hybrids Combining the versatility of wands with the rapid-fire capability of firearms, these hybrid weapons allow operatives to unleash a barrage of magical attacks. The wands, integrated into the barrel, channel elemental forces like fire, lightning, or frost, which can be toggled through arcane control rings embedded in the weapon's grip. 

Hellfire Rifles: These weapons fire incendiary rounds imbued with infernal flames that burn even underwater. 

Cryo-Bolters: Utilizing frost runes, these rifles can freeze targets solid with precision bursts. 

Tesla Wands: A compact weapon resembling a revolver, it discharges high-voltage lightning bolts

.

Occult Blades Pentagram Corp also produces melee weapons for close-quarters combat. Forged using rare materials such as meteoric iron, blessed silver, and obsidian from volcanic ritual sites, these blades are enhanced with spells to give them specific properties: 

Demonbane Swords: Their edges are coated in a magical alloy that glows when near demonic entities and delivers devastating strikes to infernal creatures. 

Phase Daggers: These blades can temporarily phase through solid objects to strike at a target’s soul or bypass armor. 

Blood-Bonded Axes: Each axe is ritually attuned to its wielder, increasing its lethality and allowing it to return to the operative’s hand when thrown

.

Allies and Rivals:

Phantom Punk - Lady Mojo has a soft side for him despite him being the exact type of individual she should be going after. Her organization will target him if they discover any evil doing but, until then, he’s safe from Pentagram’s watchful eyes.

Trivia (Optional):

Lady Mojo HATES leading this organization.
