Order of the Purple Pandas

The Order of the Purple Pandas are a branch of the "Shine-Blessed Organizations": an organized faction of individuals who hold the power of “The Shine”, a light based source of holy magic. The OPP are central figures of Lost & Found World.

The OPP’s primary responsibilities consisting of


 * Private police and security.
 * Loss Prevention: The OPP sends members to retail stores to serve as store detectives.  These individuals are usually at the rank of Chaplain (as this is the lowest rank that a member is allowed to perform duty in plainclothes)
 * Ordained ministry: All enrolled members of the OPP have the power to perform church rites and sacraments, such as baptisms, legal marriages and funerals.

Uniform
The standard uniform of the OPP is an off white, button down shirt with pockets and epaulettes, similar to a security guard's uniform. All members are given a “badge” (a round button displaying the OPP emblem) and a purple name tag (displaying the initial of the individual’s first name, followed by their last name). For pants, members are allowed to wear black, khaki, grey, or off-white. Each member is issued a magical fanny pack. This fanny pack is able to store any and all items in an infinite pocket dimension (as long as the item is able to fit through the pack’s opening) and said items can be retrieved immediately as the user wills it. Additionally, Paladins (special Shine-gifted who utilize their powers in conjunction with Nanogarbs) wear their Nanogarbs over their uniforms.

The dress code is very lax for the most part. All members are allowed to personalize the uniforms with accessories such as ties, bandanas, scarves, belts, and jewelry. Hats and Jackets may also be worn. Members above the rank of Chaplain are allowed to perform duty in plainclothes as long as they are wearing the OPP’s badge, name tag, and the organization’s signature color is prominent somewhere on their person. Despite the name of the organization, the OPP’s signature color is not purple, but off-white. For example, Colson DeRamparte often wears off-white chinos with a sky blue dress shirt and white sneakers with sky blue laces, due to his fondness for that particular color. Some members of the organization actually to come to work in t-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops.
