   The Liminal Collective is a group of amateur paranormal researchers who investigate strange phenomena, urban legends, and unexplained events. Though most of them started as hobbyists, their dedication has led them to uncover things that defy rational explanation.

   They are not a formal organization, but rather a loose collective of misfits, skeptics, and believers who work together to document and explore the unknown. Their investigations were largely theoretical—until they stumbled upon Ara and Sukuna, two literal beings from another realm.

2. #2The Group’s Philosophy & Goals

   Entry settings

   The Liminal Collective believes that there are gaps between realities—“liminal spaces” where the supernatural seeps into the mundane world. They see their role as observers, investigators, and documentarians rather than active participants (though that belief is tested once Ara and Sukuna arrive).

   Their goals include: •Uncovering hidden truths – Finding patterns in supernatural occurrences. •Gathering evidence – Using tech, research, and experiments to study phenomena. •Understanding anomalies – Whether it’s ghosts, cryptids, or beings like Ara and Sukuna, they want to make sense of what doesn’t fit into modern science. •Some members are hard skeptics, others are true believers, but all of them share a curiosity for the unknown.

    The group is not always taken seriously, both by outsiders and among themselves. Some members are more skeptical than others, leading to internal debates on how to approach cases. Now that Ara and Sukuna have entered their lives, they face new struggles:

    Keeping Ara & Sukuna’s secret while still trying to understand their origins.

    Avoiding government attention—if powerful beings fell into the human world, who else might be watching?

    Deciding what they really want—to keep studying the unknown, or to help Ara and Sukuna return to their realm?
