Welcome to Baybridge, sequel to the RPG hit Verthaven. An original superhuman setting that is less about the caped crusaders, and more of a realistic look at what the world would be like if Superhumans walked among them. And the results... vary. These superhumans are collectively known as Metahumans, people afflicted with a strange energy that has enhanced them in some way. These Metahumans are global, and many of them are only interested in peacefully living their lives. However, it's been seven years after the worst Metahuman disaster of all time, in which a Metahuman - known as the Devil of Verthaven with the power to end the world - appeared, and attempted to burn all to ash. After her defeat, an era of great change followed. Whether for the better or worse, is up to you.

In Baybridge, it's a big city in Washington in which many Metahumans migrated into the city, hoping to find a sanctuary. You can be one of those Metahumans (Or a baseline human), and participate in this new story. Even after the Verthaven Disaster, no one is truly out of the woods yet. New threats, and old ghosts, are waiting for their moment, and it's almost time for them to put their schemes into action.

Baybridge is a character driven RP where the characters are the focus. There will be a deep and complex storyline, but the characters will be able to act freely within it and make their own decisions. The RP will be focused on the characters interactions with each other as they are pushed through a crisis.

The Theme of this installment would be genes, and the idea of a "perfect human being," and the lengths some people are willing to go in the pursuit of it, and the obsessions with genes. In a story that heavily inspired by eugenics. This RP will center around the battle against the mysterious Founding Family, and their forces as everyone puts their efforts towards stopping their goals, regardless of what they may be. The challenge comes in the mystery behind them, and who they may serve.

It's October, and a new Era is approaching.

|| Plots ||

2.1 Completion
With the abduction of Jiao-Long Liu successful, the Founding Family have everything they need to complete their sinister machine, and turn everyone in the world into Metahumans. But, they need the help of the Hands of Science's remnants to complete it. Which is why they are sending their personal dog to RAVEN headquarters to get him back. At this rate, however, the Machine will be done before anyone can assemble a proper counter-attack.

2.2 Urgent Invasion.
After the apparent escape of Cindy Keagan from Founding Family's hands, the Hound plans on leading an all-out assault on RAVEN Headquarters to recover Dr. Cross and her cohorts. Throwing everything they have at the RAVEN Headquarters, as the base is utterly burned to the ground. Will RAVEN be able to stop them?

1.5: Stargazer | 占星
Somewhere else far from Baybridge, trapped in the depths of a mysterious cult who calls themselves 'Polaris', a young boy is given a task: to "tell the fortune" of a rich businessman. However, this seemingly simple task is more than meets the eye... And now, the forbidden doors have been opened - into a surreal world beyond the realm of the West.

| Previous Plots |

0.1 Towards Zero
It's a few months after the Eco-Natura battle, and the Overload Crisis, Baybridge is still recovering from the immeasurable damage they caused. However, a select few RAVENs are discretely investigating the organization that was behind both of them. They even branched out to other countries for this search. However, the world is more terrified of the threat of the Black Hound. A black armor clad assassin that has been killing British politicians left and right. The world fears this enigmatic figure with the symbol of the snarling down on his chest, and more importantly, where he'll strike next.

1.1 Oppression.
The Harvest Festival - that is hosted in Baybridge once a year - was meant to be a time where Baybridge is finally free to relax. However, due to a surprise visit by Deborah Javuant, the leader of DOVE, the Black Hound launched an attack to assassinate her. After the initial attempt failed, the Black Hound summoned his soldiers - the Intimidation Unit - to wreak havoc on the festival. Forcing everyone there to either fight, or run, to save themselves from this monstrous threat.

1.6 Caught.
]In an attempt to retrieve the Mannequin and the last of the Hands Executives from RAVEN, the Black Hound has taken the Orchestra Mall in Courtbridge hostage. His terms are simple, and has no intention of harming the hostages, but would handling over three dangerous criminals to the world's most infamous terrorist be a great idea?

1.2 Cadence
After a disastrous Harvest Festival, the Black Hound not only failed to kill his target, but he more or less handed information on his employers to DOVE and RAVEN on a silver platter. All while Meifeng Zhao has retrieved a valuable package. Now, everyone is gearing up for the inevitable confrontation - but something does not seem right. The Founding Family is currently gearing up for their upcoming plan - by kidnapping people all over the city. It is a mystery what they are after, and what they hope to gain - but it can't be good for the world at large.

1.3 Reflection
With the threat of the Founding Family looming over the horizon, there is apparently a mole in their organization. Calling themself "The Man in the Mirror," this mystery person is contacting strangers who have been crossed by the Founding Family with instructions on how to go up against such an organization. Mostly ways they can get back loved ones who have been kidnapped.

1.4 Generation of Bliss
Jiao-Long Liu, a very important player in the Metahuman scene, is hosting a grand party for his son who is turning six this year. This is a grand event that many businessmen, Saviors, and more, will be attending. However, this will not go as planned, as Jiao-Long is a man of many secrets, and he holds secrets that have been hidden for generations now....

1.7 A Diplomatic Solution.
In the midst of all the chaos caused by the Black Hound, the Metahuman International Party - an organization dedicated to mending the damage between man and Metahuman - has decided to arrive in Baybridge before all hell boils over. They have been operating within the city by attempting to mend the damage, and hosted many speeches. However, the big event that the MIP are planning is a debate against a Savior Board Executive. In the midst of the revelation that the Saviors were behind the Pure, the MIP intends to improve relations between the two groups. However, the Founding Family intends to use this to their advantage...

|| The Story of Verthaven ||

It all began in this sunny city on June 25, it just started with a simple festival to hail in the start of the summer and good days. And all that changed once the Fiends, a violent gang of drugged up maniacs, attacked the fair. They violently attacked civilians, and began a storm of blood and death. They were, however, combated by the Agents of NEST, an organization dedicated to maintaining order within the Metahuman world, civilians and other superpowered individuals, and the VPD. A violent battle occurred, which ended once the leader of the Fiends, Khan, joined the battle and paved way for the Fiends to escape. Which left many calling for justice.

The next day, the National Guard pushed in on the city, and NEST planned to eliminate the Metahuman leaders of the group known as the Lieutenants. While raid after raid was launched at the gang, they were whittled down operation after operation. That night, a mercenary group known as the Dreadnaughts were hired by NEST High-command to lend a hand. NEST, assisted by the Dreadnaughts managed to successfully carry out an assassination against one of the Fiend lieutenants. On the civilian spectrum, a party was thrown for the teenagers of the city to take their minds off things. Fun was had... but, a group belonging to the Hands of Science, an organization dedicated to exploiting Metahumans to create a new age of science, preyed upon them at the party. Kidnapping several people from the party for the purpose of experimentation. And everyone was none the wiser.

A day afterwards, a raid was launched against the Fiends, which ended with another lieutenant being captured. After interrogating the lieutenant, a few secrets about what motivated the Fiends were revealed - they were apparently being rewarded with serums that give people powers. While the Hands of Science got their hands on their crown jewel, and kidnapped many teenagers for their nefarious experiments. A deal gone wrong with the Fiends, and eventually it was revealed that the power granting serums were fake. This is what made the Fiends especially desperate. They gathered what little resources they had left, and prepared for a last ditch effort to spring their captured alley from the NEST Headquarters.

That night, Khan got in contact with a contact within NEST, who let the Fiends in through a secret entrance. Another bloodbath began as NEST and Fiends did battle with each other. High-ranking NEST Agents, and Dreadnaughts did all they could to quell the situation. However, that same contact - the Changeling Heartbreaker - arranged for the death of Khan, and used an ally in the Hands of Science to make sure that Khan doesn't leave. That ally arranged for a local vigilante to kill Khan for her. The Fiend Lieutenants went down one by one, killed, or captured. Soon, Khan was killed by this mysterious vigilante.

Meanwhile, the kids kidnapped by the Hands of Science sprung out of their cages, and with a drugged alley, they wandered the base. Until they came in contact with a scientist, and managed to steal a phone from him. They managed to call for help, before they were confronted with the Hands of Science finest experiments and did battle. They were pushed to their limits when help arrived in form of a mother - Lihua Zhao - coming to retrieve her child, and her friends. She did battle with these monsters to buy time for the kidnapped to get away, and defeated both her opponents. Before moving onto leaving this hellish lab. However, on her way in, she found some incriminating files, planted by a traitor within the Hands of Science.

This evidence told her that the Director of NEST was in on the Fiend's attack on the festival, and was a member of the Hands of Science - a partnership that got NEST new and experimental weaponry to combat Metahumans. The Hands of Science wanted the Fiends disposed of, because they had outlived their usefulness, and the Director suggested a plan to cause a massive scene, and destroy the Fiends in order to make NEST look good. Once this evidence was submitted to a higher level, the Director was arrested, and the Hands of Science (And by extent, the Changeling Unit) were revealed to the world.

The fight was far from over.

The offensive against the Hands of Science began right after their revelation to the world. NEST had launched a counterattack against the organization of mad scientists, and were making little progress against them due to their secrecy. What's more is that the Hands of Science had their own security force to combat NEST - REAPER. So far, they weren't making any progress against the Hands. In Verthaven, there was a shortage of NEST Agents, so the agency funneled Agents from all over the country. Some of their Metahuman agents with a history with each other formed a bond with each other. They soon were to become the group that would change the tide of the war after the Hands of Science.

Two months later, in August, is where the real magic happened. After a fundraiser that didn't go as planned, the NEST day a small conflict with REAPER snowballed into all-out war with the newly revealed Changeling Unit after a NEST Agent's daughter was nabbed by the Changeling unit. They managed to capture the Changeling responsible - Mark Emerson. In an attempt to bargain with them, he managed to convince NEST not to arrest him by selling out his Changeling Unit buddies. That very night, NEST launched a raid against the Changeling Unit, lead by Heartbreaker. The NEST Agents used a plan to sneak bombs in using Mark. After the bombs were planted, NEST gave the Changelings an ultimatum: surrender the infants they've taken, or die. The Changelings chose to surrender - only for NEST to attack them afterwards. A battle took place up until NEST had eliminated the Changeling Unit.

However, Heartbreaker, and the Mannequin - two leading members of the Changeling Unit - had escaped, slipping through the cracks of NEST. NEST had pursued them, but the Hands of Science, in the interest of defending their partners, the Changeling Unit, sent their experimental Metahuman superweapon - PR-1/Peter - after them. A brutal battle occurred ending with the deaths of many NEST Agents, with many others injured in the process, and the Changelings. However, NEST had managed to capture the Super weapon.

A few weeks later, and NEST had formed their brand new Task Force, RAVEN, specially created to battle the threat created by The Hands of Science, and the Changeling Unit. They made some progress against them in small ways - but their biggest accomplishment would have to have been tracking down the Hands of Science base in Verthaven. They prepared for the operation, coming up with a big plan... However, during a botched interrogation, PR-1 managed to escape and wreak havoc throughout NEST Headquarters. Another confrontation took place, which ended in the captured Miranda Caryl being killed.

Afterwards, plans for the raid of the Hands of Science base were put into motion. Using a young Metahuman, and his older sister, the Hands base was sedated, and another Metahuman to lock down the computer systems. RAVEN managed to raid the Hands base, and they split into two groups that went in two different directions. The first group came face to face with the leader of the Verthaven branch of the Hands, Dr. Cross, and her REAPER generals Ignatius and the Wendigo. A brutal battle occurred which ended with the Wendigo getting killed, but Ignatius and Dr. Cross escaping. The other group encountered what was left of the Changeling Unit, and managed to capture most of them (Excluding the Mannequin). The end result of the raid was that the Hand's main headquarters were removed, their REAPERs captured, and a great chunk of their organization being reduced to nothing.

RAVEN and NEST enjoyed the publicity boost as they dealt a major blow against their arch-rival. However, by capturing Heartbreaker, NEST had drawn the rest of the Changeling Unit to the city... including Luis, the leader of the Changeling Unit. His very first act in the city was to murder Mark Emerson, and his daughter, to send a message to those who betray the Changeling Unit. Afterwards, he and his Changelings sunk into the shadows.

All while a mysterious rain had been appearing for weeks now, and the hearts of Metahumans were being torn out by something...

The greatest tragedy the world has ever known began two weeks after the raid on the Hands base. A battle between the Hands of Science (and their Changeling) and RAVEN ended when a threat, the Devil of Verthaven, had revealed herself after gathering power. The Devil of Verthaven possessed such immense power that she was capable of ending the world on a whim (With the ability to control the weather on a large scale, and produce armies of monsters). The battle was concluded when the Devil turned her army that was waiting underground on Verthaven. A literal army of demons tore Verthaven apart, and killed thousands of people in the very first hour. NEST and RAVEN worked together to create a safe zone for civilians.

After that hour had passed, the Devil retracted her armies underground, while NEST created a plan to get everyone out of Verthaven. They figured a mass evacuation would be in order, so they gathered everyone they could onto trucks and tried to push their way out of the city. However, the Changeling Unit, not wanting them to leave the city, sabotaged the evacuation. What was worse was that the Devil threw everything she had the evacuation. Many people died, and despite those odds, the evacuation pushed on. However, NEST High Command chose to activate a secret system known as The Shield of Light. Which encased Verthaven in a seemingly impenetrable dome of energy that was immune to all forms of superpowers. All out of fear that the Devil would end the world.

With NEST being trapped with a literal demon, they had no choice but to gather everyone they could, and launch a counter-offensive against the Devil. However, she wasn't the only threat. They were locked in Verthaven with the Changeling Unit as well. After going on a rampage in a Church, the Changeling Unit forced a young girl, Jennifer Caspin, to work with them by kidnapping her family. Then, while NEST was launching an operation to track the Devil down, the Changeling Unit launched a massive offensive against them in an attempt to liberate Heartbreaker. Taking advantage of all their resources, the Changeling Unit caused an untold amount of death and destruction, with their attack ending in many of the survivors dead. They used Jen to track exactly where Heartbreaker was, and liberate her, and the other Changelings.

Even though NEST took a defeat, they managed to find out where the Devil was, and poisoned her. They immediately went into planning, and eventually launched their operation. However, the Changelings used Jen to track down where the Devil was. While NEST's plan was almost in motion, the Changelings used Jen and another hostage to prevent them from killing the Devil... which gave the Devil enough time to recover from the poison and call every monster to the city to one point. The NEST Agent came up with a clever plan to liberate the hostages, and they set off the explosives - but it turned out that the Changelings were stalling while their members disabling the bombs. They didn't set off all the bombs, as they set off enough to injure the Devil.

In the middle of the confusion, The Changeling Unit snuck into the Devil's lair, nullified her powers, and Luis revealed his grand plans for a "Perfect World." Which involved using the Devil's ability to burn all to ash to propel himself to Godhood. When the Devil refused, a NEST agent who tailed them sprung into action and nearly killed the Devil with a grenade.

However, this act didn't bode well for anyone, as it merely triggered an immense boost in power as the Devil transformed into a titanic tower of pure power. All organizations were forced to retreat, however RAVEN weren't able to escape without losing Jennifer. The day after it all went down, it was deemed that the only way to save themselves was to form an alliance. NEST, The Hands of Science, and the Changeling Unit put aside their differences and pooled their strength with the gangs of Verthaven for one final stand. The Hands had a weapon they've been developing since the raid on their base, and planned to use it.

During the battle itself, the Devil proved to be an incredibly powerful opponent - she managed to downright slaughter most of her opposition. However, the collective organizations were able to heavily injure her enough s so that she retreated - firing a bolt of lightning so powerful that it damaged the Shield of Light. However, she went straight for NEST Headquarters, and slaughtered her way through the safe zone. The Devil then destroyed NEST headquarters - before the Hands weapon was used on her (And the Hands promptly pulled out of the fight afterwards).

NEST moved in to confirm the kill - and it was revealed that the Devil had survived, but was quickly taken by the Hands teleporter. The Changeling Unit ambushed them and killed two of their own. A massive battle took place... which ended with the death of many RAVENs, but the Changeling Unit were brought down for good. Luis, Heartbreaker, and many who followed him were killed.

After the battle, the Shield of Light finally gave out due to all the damage it had received, finally freeing them from the disaster.

After the Verthaven disaster, news of what happened shook the world, and altered the entire status quo.

NEST was disgraced by their actions - locking thousands of people inside the shield to die - to the point where they were easily the most hated organization of all time. It was decided that NEST had too much power, and they were disbanded, replaced with DOVE & RAVEN - two organizations meant to succeed where NEST failed. Furthermore, due to the extreme amounts of damage done to Verthaven (In the trillions range), and the population being reduced to a small fraction, it was decided that Verthaven will be condemned.

The Hands of Science took a "sample" of the Devil of Verthaven, before being contacted by a mysterious benefactor that ordered them to give her the sample, kill the Devil, and abandon the organization. The Hands executives did as requested, and what was the Hands left of the Hands were taken out by a combination of RAVEN and DOVE. Afterwards, RAVEN and DOVE immediately went to work.

The remnants of the Changeling Unit assembled within the Ghost town. Their teleporter, Flashbang, suffered the effects of ashing, before she was finally put out of her misery by the Mannequin. He attempted to call his contacts, when he was interrupted by Baron Moreau, one of the Dreadnaughts that assisted in the Verthaven disaster. He killed the Witch Mother, and persuaded the Mannequin into believing that Baron wanted to join him. That was when Baron stabbed the Mannequin through the eye, believing that the machine was dead for good. However, the Mannequin survived with little damage done to him, and escaped. Using the news of his apparent "death" to further his own goals.

With news of a Metahuman who can end the world springing up, many people quickly changed their stance on Metahumans from tolerated, to outright hated. The Pure and Savior movements immediately received a huge boost in support as more people than ever before were beginning to follow their philosophies. Metahumans from all over were being killed left and right for little reason. Thousands of Metahumans were brutally killed out of fear, and it showed little signs of stopping.

What was the most curious event was that the rate of Metahumans had gone up after the Verthaven disaster, almost like the Devil triggered something...

The Tyrants shortly disbanded a few years later, and Stadium City fell into disaster. Along with a variety of new organizations rising to take it's place. The main organization that had arisen was the Allegiance. An idea that formed because Metahumans were getting tired of all the murders. They shortly went to war with the Pure and caused countless amounts of death and destruction in their crossfire. The Allegiance also became a target for RAVEN due to their acts of terrorism.

In the middle of this, the newly formed DOVE organization had to try their hardest to keep Metahumans sane and healthy, but that was very difficult given all the hatred being directed towards them. This is where they really shined, and began to succeed at giving Metahumans the regulation they desire. Having a hand in killing the anti-metahuman hysteria.

In the recent years, however, the anti-metahuman hysteria had died down a tad. That didn't last long since another event popped up in Europe. A few months before the start of the story A Metahuman with immense pyro and terrakinetic abilities showed up in Prague named only The Beast, and tore the entire city to pieces. Prague was in flames, but their military was helpless to stop it. Which is why they put out a call towards everyone who was willing to help. And they got the American NEST/DOVE, the German Collective Metahuman Services (KMD), the British Metahuman Intelligence and Social Welfare (MISW), and the Russian Wurdulac. The several organizations teamed up to come up with a plan to end this Metahuman, and put it into action. After a grueling battle, the Beast was killed, and peace was returned to Prague.

|| The Story of Baybridge ||

Years after the infamous Verthaven Disaster, the story started by that city continued into the Washington city of Baybridge. Everything was peaceful, there was a large celebration to commemorate a new community opening - built by the Liu Pharmaceutical Company. The organization promised cheap housing, and then they delivered. The celebration went as planned.

However, while everyone was having fun, the Mannequin made his return to the spotlight, as he was preparing to launch his own plan. He recruited some members of the Eco-Natura terrorist organization to help him manipulate the head of the group for his own purposes. After getting them on board, the Mannequin awaited the perfect opportunity.

The day after the celebration, a chain of events occurred. All in one day. It started with a full blown riot by the Allegiance, which was quickly quelled by RAVEN and DOVE - not without the Allegiance sparking an incident that further damaged RAVEN's reputation. Not too long after that, the first of the Overload attacks - a string of incidents where Metahumans were struck with syringes that caused them to lose control of their powers, and cause massive damage - started in Havenfield Market with the aim of damaging relations between Metahumans, and normal humans. The Metahuman in question was a cyrokinetic, and he turned a market into an arctic blizzard. Fortunately, he was quickly disabled by RAVENs, and taken to their Headquarters.

The man behind the Overload attacks felt like that wasn't satisfactory, and amped it up. He targeted a Metahuman who could charge powers, and give normal people powers. He tracked her down to a mall in Courtbridge, and shot her with the dart, and she caused a massive crisis within the mall. Metahumans inside the mall lost control of their powers, and normal people were given superpowers. This process continued, and caused massive death and destruction, until the woman was disabled, and the Overload stopped.

From there, the relations between man and Metahuman deteriorated. However, the Mannequin showed himself to what was left of the Hands of Science - specifically Dr. Cross and Ignatius - and told them about his plan, and recruited them. Taking advantage of the divide. However, they were interrupted by one of the people tailing the Hands of Science - that didn't take too kindly to the news that the Mannequin is alive.

A week later, and the situation between man and Metahuman was at an all time low. However, the man responsible had to knock things over. He targeted an air manipulator, and then he caused a massive hurricane that tore Oakdell Harbor apart. However, he was caught up in his own storm, and was apprehended by RAVEN. After interrogating him, it turned out that he was a board executive of the Savior Foundation, and a member of the Knights of Purity. Making the Savior Foundation look very suspect. However, the man stated he got his serum from a mysterious "Black Hound."

However, a day after that, the threats working in the background managed to make themselves known. Starting with Eco-Natura, they launched their assault on Prince Edfield, and left "nature bombs" that ravaged the Prince Edfield district. This caused massive damage to the city, and turned Prince Edfield into a complete forest. While RAVEN was focusing on that threat, the Mannequin launched his operation into RAVEN Headquarters to retrieve a device made by the Hands they were holding onto. Though, his mission was a failure, as he was ambushed by RAVEN waiting for him, and he, along with the rest of the Hands, were arrested.

After Dr. Cross was arrested, she spoke of a Founding Family, who are incredibly powerful, and a threat to the world. So, a group of RAVENS had set out to go investigate this Founding Family while Baybridge recovers.

Four months later, in October, a whole new fight is going to begin as the mysterious "Black Hound" is standing in the spotlight.

||| The Setting: Metahumans |||

|| Metahuman Information ||

Mutants, Freaks, Overhumans, Gods themselves... Commonly called Meta-humans are normal humans that were afflicted with a strange condition that has given them powers that defied the laws of nature and physics. Men with super strength, women who can teleport, children who can control nature itself. These powers are extremely varied. These abilities stem from a strange energy that resides deep within them. A green flowing energy that is known as the Meta-human energy. A invisible energy that is extremely hard to detect through normal means. This energy inhabits a Meta-human's entire body, from their skin, to their bones, to their blood. The energy isn't detrimental to them, or the environment, not even in the slightest, it can even be called beneficial. What is interesting is that scientists have observed that energy is the same, everyone has a slightly different form of the energy. Which is believed to be related to how no Meta-human has the same exact power. When a Meta-human uses their power on the outside world, a small amount of the meta-human energy gets projected and focused in that area. Such as a Water-Elemental controlling a cup of water will get some of the energy projected into it, until they cease control and the energy will return to their body. There will be a residual amount of the energy on it, however. It's so faint that it's extremely hard to even detect, only extremely specialized and complex technology can detect faint amounts of the energy. Another interesting effect the energy has is how it grows within a human being. Starting out with a small amount of the energy, until it grows as they develop and learn new things about their powers. Stronger Meta-humans tend to have more energy within them. However, there's a particular connection between high-stress situations and the advancement of powers. Under high-stress situations, powers rapidly develop.

There is no set age when powers develop. Some Meta-humans are born with their powers, while others won't develop until late into their lives. Powers received are sporadic at best. There is no way to predict what power a Meta-human will have, nor who will develop powers. Not even the strongest information-type can determine that. That said, any power a Meta-human receives is almost random. Completely unrelated to race, culture, education, or physical activity. It is also theorized that every human being has the potential to become a meta-human. However, there are such a thing as hereditary powers. Powers passed from parents to the children, or simply run in the family. These are relatively uncommon, but this is the reason why there are entire families of Meta-humans. However, while inherent powers do exist, anyone will get a different version of a passed down power. In what ways vary. Sometimes it's a slight difference, then other times there's a difference in function, or they will have an ability that nobody else have. Like it's been stated before, Inherent powers are uncommon, but there is a chance family members will get a power. Which will be explained below.

Meta-humans have a very particular effect attached to them: The Black Fall Effect. This has two main effects on the meta-human population. Firstly, all Meta-humans are subconsciously attracted to each other. So subtly that it's next to impossible to even notice. It causes the shyest people to head out and interact, or draws people to one particularly location. The more Meta-humans that are around, it will cause a "flocking" effect. The other primary effect is that those who spend plenty of time around other Meta-humans have a higher chance to develop powers themselves. It can't be a minimum amount of contact, it has to be years around Meta-humans for someone to develop powers. Which is why family members and close friends are likely to get powers.

Meta-humans are only capable of using one third of their potential strength, very similar to muscles. These natural limits are theorized to be in place so that they don't burn out. However, similar to flight-or-flight, high-stress situations allow Meta-humans to push themselves beyond their blocks, and develop them in the process. However, while powers are truly incredible, they come at a price. Powers have a toll on the body and mind. Excessive and unrestrained use would cause what could be described as physical overexertion. They'll get tired and weak from use, along with some bodily damage. Pushing powers beyond their limits in high stress situations cause even worse problems, and at it's most extreme, it may cause an effect known as "Ashing". This is basically an extremely deadly aliment where a Meta-human self destructs. Their powers shut off, and all their cells will die at an alarmingly fast rate. Their cells will drop off their body like specs of ash, and this process will continue until there is absolutely nothing left of a Meta-human. This state is extremely deadly, and there's a mere 4% chance of survival - Even if a ashing victim does survive, there are some permanent physical damage (Amputation, Brain damage, loss of powers, etc, etc - Are a few). Ashing is what Meta-humans truly fear, as any meta-human can ash if they are not careful.

The North American Metahumans were regulated by the NEST organization up until they disbarment. Now a new organization, DOVE, takes the reign and has a more socially aware way of dealing with Metahumans. Metahumans, young and old, are educated and made sure they are mentally well and adjusted. Assisting them in getting jobs, and are properly integrated into society. So far, DOVE's plans are certainly working effectively. The main thing that DOVE changed was how Metahumans were registered. Opposed to NEST's degrading habit of surgically implanting chips inside of people, Metahumans are uploaded to the DOVE database with their information, whereabouts, superpowers, etc. Their DNA are uploaded into the system, and each member of RAVEN/DOVE have a DNA scanner in which they can quickly access the database and access their information. DOVE, upon creation, has issued an alert so they can surgically remove all old NEST chips out of Metahumans, and register them in the new system (Since they're worthless now). However, criminal Metahumans are implanted with chips that can track their whereabouts if necessary. 

To avoid scrutiny from the UN, and to avoid breaking several Geneva conventions, Metahumans are not allowed to join any official army, nor are they allowed to participate in any wars. There was always a prejudice against Metahumans, organizations in the past did what they could to alleviate it, but they couldn't do everything. There would always be people out that hate them. After the Verthaven disaster, the prejudice against Metahumans only increased by a thousandfold. People are killing Metahumans left and right. and tension is at an all time high. 

However, another interesting fact was that the amount of Metahumans manifesting abilities oddly increased as if the Devil of Verthaven triggered something...

|| Classifications of Metahumans ||

| Cerebral |

| The Mind |
Easily the most straight forward out of all the power types; Cerebral powers have something to do with the mind. Any power that has something to do with the mind. Out of the three primary power types, Cerebral powers are the least diverse. Usually falling under powers that let people gather information, alter minds, or exert their wills on the outside world. Telepathy and Telekinesis are the primary Cerebral ability - with a great deal of the Cerebral types have differing versions of those two powers. There are a variety of other Cerebral abilities (Astral projection, Memory Manipulation, etc). Subclasses:

| Extra-Sensory |
The Extra-sensory class entails powers that allow people to gather (and sometimes share) information on a extra-mental level. A sixth sense you could say. Powers under this sub-class strictly deal with gathering information. Telepathy is stated to be under this class, yet the powers that are mainly under this class are Extra-sensory powers such as ESP, Precognition, Retrocognition, etc.

| Domination |
Domination class powers are abilities that are mental in nature that allow people to manipulate the minds of those around them. This class can work in many ways; from control of animals, to affecting emotions, or outright mind control. Unlike what the name implies, not all powers have to do with mind control. They can be the subtle powers that are suggestive in nature. Domination Powers include: Mind/Emotion Control, Animal Manipulation, etc.

| Super-System |

| The Body | 
Super-System type Meta-humans have abilities related to the body of themselves and/or others. Super-System powers are easily the most diverse out of all the Power Classes. Any power that changes (or enhances) the body in any way can be classified as a Super-System power. Powers such as Super strength/speed, flight, and Regeneration are prime examples of Super-System abilities. Subclasses:

| Bestial |
A very common sub-type of Metahuman, Bestial Metahumans have traits from the Animal kingdom. Most, generally, have the traits of one Animal. These abilities are divided into two functions; either they're permanently altered with the animal traits, or they have the ability to transform into animals. They don't exactly have to be based off an animal, a Metahuman can simply have animal-like, or bestial traits. There are some Bestial Metahumans that are based off of Mythological-beasts (Such as Werewolves, Dragons, etc).

| Biological |
Those under the Biological class have the direct ability to actively manipulate their biology and anatomy, rather than have permanent alterations. They have the ability to manipulate the biological makeup of themselves and others. Bones, blood, skin, muscle, etc. This can include shape-shifting, growing new muscles, and skin-manipulation.

| Elemental |

| The World | 
Those under the Elemental class have the ability to warp matter and energy to their will. Most Elemental types have control over one, or several similar, elements. Many of them function the same way, in the way that each Elemental-type has the ability to move the Element that they have control over, along with a few extra tricks. However, not all Elemental types are the same. Any ability relating to a kind of matter falls under the Elemental Class. Subclasses:

| Energy |
Energy-types are Metahumans with an affinity over Energies. They operate similarly to Elemental-types, they can generally create and control an energy they are attuned to. This is a very broad definition. It can range from electricity, to fire, to sunlight, or sound.

| Mimicry |
Mimicry type powers are the set of abilities that dip into Super-System. Mimicry type abilities are those abilities that allow their user to transform themselves into an element, or otherwise take the properties of it. These abilities are quite versatile as their main class. They can be any element, even tethering into the energy sub-type at times.

| Power |

| The Essence | 
The least common type of Meta-human out there. Opposed to altering the mind, body, or the world, Power-types alter the very essence of Superpowers; the Meta-human energy. For example they can alter it (On a large, or small, scale) to give themselves different powers (Power replication comes to mind), or enhance, or weaken, the powers of others. They are easily the most feared out of kinds of Metahumans. There are some Meta-humans under this class who can give or take away powers - there's even some who can manipulate powers themselves. Subclasses:

| Replication |
Replication type abilities are easily the most common form of Power type. Replicators are known as those who can mirror the abilities of other Metahumans, and use them for themselves. They are known to be the most versatile brand of Metahuman, as they can figuratively have any power within the spectrum. However, many of them are limited in how many abilities they can hold, or alternatively can only replicate certain kinds of power.

| Charger |
This is the other most common kind of Power-type, Chargers are Metahumans who can either enhance or weaken the abilities of others. Either temporarily, or permanently. The former can include power boosters, upgraders, etc, nullifers, removers, etc.

| Other |

Powers that simply don't fall under the above categories.

|| Locations ||

| Black Fall |

The proclaimed "City of Freaks". Black Fall is famous because it has the most Metahumans congregated into one City (1% of all Metahumans live in Black Fall). Easily the most important location for Metahumans. The city went from a small fishing town to a major hub for gamblers, tourists, businessmen, and families, in the course of a few centuries. It contains people of almost every ethnic background. It is located in Pennsylvania, on the Delaware river, not too far away from Philadelphia. It is split down the middle by the river, with one part of the city on each side. Technically it is apart of New Jersey too, since one side of Black Fall is technically on the state of New Jersey. The West side of the city is known as "Old World Black Fall" where the city started. It has most of the population centers and major buildings that have been there from the start. The East side of the city is known as "New Black Fall" which is much more commercialized. It contains most of the clubs, casinos, and mansions. However, Black Fall has been ravaged lately by riots, and battles against the Pure and Metahumans. A large chunk of the city has been destroyed, and it's making national news. The state of Black Fall has certainly gone down hill throughout the years. Black Fall also holds the east coast DOVE & RAVEN Headquarters.

|  Verthaven |

Located in California, Verthaven was a massive metropolis centered in Southern California. However, it is best known for the being the place the infamous Verthaven disaster took place, and it was promptly condemned afterwards. Much of the beautiful city was destroyed, and after it was condemned, it was left to rot. Before, it was a coastal city that is Sandwiched between LA and San Francisco. It was known for it's miles of beaches, and sea trade. What it was also known for is how it's carved up by a network of rivers. The main river is known as the Cross River and splits the city up into four halves by a cross. With hundreds of smaller rivers branching off from that one. Which the city was built around, and have well integrated into the city's layout. Which gaves Verthaven a feel of Venice mixed with New York. Now, it's been reclaimed by nature. There are miles upon miles of flooded streets, and crumbling buildings. It was the former location of the NEST headquarters before it was destroyed. It hasn't been disturbed for years now, no one but the idiotic have braved the resting place of this tragedy. A few miles outside of Verthaven is the Verthaven Memorial Cemetery. A graveyard in which all those who died in the disaster are buried. The whole cemetery is miles upon miles... and unfortunately, many of the graves are currently unmarked.

| St. Portwell |

St. Portwell is a small town located on the Oregon coast. It's a quaint little town, usually inhabited by old people, and some youth. The town is no more than a few square miles at most. The town has that rustic feel, containing plenty of aged buildings that would make a hipster cream. These buildings really give St. Portwell that sleepy, picturesque, look that attracts tourists. What helps is it's woods, and notable locations (Lighthouse, Tunnels, Beaches, and so on). While the town isn't super large, it has it's own shopping mall (Nothing super big, but still notable for such a location). It has a few diners, chain restaurants, and cafes, which are frequent stops for residents. On the outskirts of the town, there are plenty of farms, and gardens which are the main source of commerce for the city. The other source of commerce is fishing. St. Portwell is a home to fishermen. You'll see plenty of boats off the coast of the beach, and the docks, should you approach it. The streets aren't crowded like most cities. 

You'll see one or two people going about your day, but nothing densely packed. Speaking of which, the residents are pretty spaced out. The residential areas is rather suburban, and houses on the outskirts of the town tend to be spaced out by at least a mile. The downtown area is where most of the shops, restaurants, and cafes are, and it's one long street, opposed to spanning several buildings. It isn't particularly ethnically diverse. It's mainly comprised of Caucasian (Which make up the main percentage), and African-American people. Other ethnic types are rather sparse. Because the people are so relaxed in the city, crime is relatively low. Other than drug dealing, very little crime actually reach the headlines. It also has a very low amount of Metahumans living in the confines of the city. Oddly enough, the quaint little town was chosen to the location for Academy 1. There is a small DOVE Outpost not too far away to keep an eye on the academy.

| Stadium City |

Created over the course of a few decades, with heavy Metahuman involvement, Stadium City stands in Ohio. Stadium City was ordered by the President to be created by Metahumans in order to help alleviate the Anti-Metahuman hysteria and show that they are helpful. Stadium City, in design, doesn't appear too different from other cities. It has residential districts, a downtown, plenty of skyscrapers and more. It has plenty of Metahumans, however. After the construction of the city, many of the Metahumans that made it stayed in Stadium City and their descendants remained there. However, it was ridden with crime for decades. For years, Stadium City's underground crime was utterly ruled by the Tyrants. No one but a fool was willing to go anywhere near there. However, when the Verthaven disaster took place, and NEST was disbanded, the Tyrants also disbanded. Which meant that every gang from all over could come in and make the city their home. Right now, Stadium City is a hive of crime and villainy as the many major gangs are literally tearing the city apart to gain control of it. The ISD Headquarters is also situated in Stadium City.

| Highroller Heights |

Located near the borders of Arizona and Nevada, Highroller Heights is the bastard son of Las Vegas (Sometimes referred to as New Vegas). Massive, boiling hot, in the middle of an american desert, and gives you great reason to check your shoes every morning. Just without the class and style that movies and other media outlets build it up to be. It's run down, the people are bitter, and just about everyone wants to make a quick buck - At the expense of others of course. This city has tons of casinos, and other fancy places to make the place look good for the tourists (The main source of income of High-Roller heights). But when you see the city for what it really is, you'll reconsider. By day it's a sandy city, a pleasant place, if you know where to go. At night, the seven deadly sins take over. Sex workers, gangsters, drug dealers, rapists, and lunatics roam the streets. To say the least, crime is high here. Because corruption is rooted so deep, the crimes are brushed aside with a simple wad of cash. High-Roller Heights has racial diversity, so people of all colors are a common sight in this city, along with a high population. The city is located in the middle of an active desert. There is sand far as the eye can see, it's skin blistering hot, and since it's a desert; don't expect rain. Superhumans are a common sight here.

| Mendel |
By @Maxx
Located in northern Louisiana on the border between Louisiana and Mississippi is Mendel, a city of about 200,000 people where 6,000 are meta-human. The city was once a manufacturing hotspot, but when the Corvo Family, a metahuman organized crime syndicate, moved in, everything changed. They began to pump money into the west side of the city, attracting more businesses and cleaning it up significantly despite weakening the east side. The city is divided in half by the Mississippi, similar to Black Fall. The east side is a poor city living around the few factories left operating, and the west side is a more modern metropolis with a lot of corporate buildings. The city is most famous, however, for its gangs; the Vanguard and the Skulls. The two rival gangs have a tremendous amount of influence on their perspective sides, and often clash with police and each other, much to the appeal of the media. There was an enormous gang war that left much of the city in ruin. However, NEST's elite KINGFISHER unit eliminated the Skulls, and forced the Vanguard into hiding. Which seemingly brought peace to the city. However, that peace shattered once the Verthaven disaster took place, and NEST pulled out of the city. Due to the aforementioned events, the gangs have emerged yet again, and descended Mendel into a state even worse than ever before.

| Suilan (隋岚) |
By @Tsukune
If Shanghai and Xiamen are compared to New York City and Los Angeles respectively, then Suilan is like the bastard child of Sans Francisco. Originally a port city, it grew in size after the merger of nearby rural regions into bigger towns and relocation of the people in these areas into the city after the Cultural Revolution in the late 1970s; rapid development has completely transformed Suilan into the second largest city in the Fujian Province after Xiamen, and it's also the largest Metahuman hotspot in China. Situated along the borders of Fujian to its north and Guangzhou to the south, and facing the sea to the east with the south of Taiwan just across the waters - the climate here has similar four-seasonal changes, but not cold enough to get any snow (on the other hand, typhoon is a common occurrence). Population primarily consists of Han Chinese - specifically Metahuman Chinese, making it the "Asian Black Fall". Besides the official common language Mandarin, Min (Hokkien) and Cantonese are the two most common dialects spoken here, then followed by Teochew and Hakka. Fujian was also the starting point of Cheng Ho's sea voyage across the world during the Ming Dynasty, hence it's said that most Asian Metahumans are likely to be descendants of the Suilan people.
 
Suilan is no different from most metropolitan cities in the world: it's split into several districts, each with a specific purpose such as a business district, a shopping district, an industrial district, et cetera; the old port is even rebuilt into a seaside amusement park (the entrance fee is extremely pricey though). There's even a ferry service to go across the straits to Taiwan, a much cheaper alternative than flying by air. Most of its economic wealth comes from overseas investors (mainly the Southeast Asian countries) and from tourism - it's well-known for its exotic Southern Chinese cuisine, a harmonic combination of Fujian/Taiwan and Guangdong/Hong Kong style. (Prawn scallop dim sum in stir-fried mee suah? Oh yes.) It's also a haven of top-quality Chinese tea such as oolong, pu'er, and many more, which is perfect to bring home as souvenirs.
 
It's where the headquarters of MAP is currently located, and also where the mysterious underground cult "Polaris" (北斗七星, Beidou Qixing) is originated from.

| New Rivière City |

New Rivière City is a major metropolis set up at the site of an anomaly on the Louisiana River (Not too far away from Mendel) believed to be caused by ancient Metahumans. This is a belief because the anomaly doesn't appear on maps and data from years before the city was found, and the river is far too smooth. Leading up to New Rivière City, the river splits and goes two different directions around a land mass in which New Rivière City has been placed on. This simulates an island of sorts, with many bridges leading in and out of the island. The island is enormous, at least 71% of New Rivière's eighty-one square miles. Contrary to previous information, New Rivière is set on the island, and on the landmass around it (forming another circle). New Rivière is a city that was founded in 1762 once the river annex was located. French settlers placed a small village in the center of the island - quickly building outwards as the settlers realized the ports were profitable. From there, the city flourished through the years and modernization took place for decades to come. 

New Rivière City, like it's been stated before, is split up by the river that surrounds it. Known as the Inner and Outer Ring. The Inner-Ring of the city is basically the island that makes up the large majority of the city. In the Inner-Ring, it contains a majority of the city - which includes it's many residential and hedonistic areas. It's known for it's bustling downtown area (More on that in a little bit) which contains many of the city's hubs of business and pleasure. Such as it's hotels, casinos, and whatnot. New Rivière is known for it's restaurants and casinos. The Inner-Ring's tall buildings can be seen from all over the city. The Outer-Ring is usually the first part of the city people are exposed to - and it's not pretty. The Outer-Ring is where all the lower class are forced to stay due to lower property costs (In contrast, the Inner Ring is where all the middle and upper class people are). New Rivière City has been called the bastard child of New Orleans, San Diego, Miami, and New York. The city has blends the aesthetic of those cities into a city that becomes alive in the night time. The streets are lined with neon signs advertising clubs, casinos and bars. Every night people from all over roam the city looking for a good time. It's known as a city where tourists pour in by the thousands.

| Nueva Emmanuela |

Different from the other locations on this list as Nueva Emmanuela (Translated as New Emmanuela) is one of the few modern city states in the entire world. Located in the Caribbean, east of the Bahamas, and north of Haiti/The Dominican Republic, Nueva Emmanuela is a large island, that is surrounded with a archipelago that makes it difficult to arrive by ship except from specific paths. The country was colonized during the period of Spanish colonialism, and it had a large amount of African-slaves imported (Many of their descendants still reside in the nation). However, in the late 1800's, the nation has achieved independence. The native Nueva Emmanuelan people are those who are Spanish, African, but primarily consist of those who mixed between those two ethnic groups. These people are very similar to Brazilians with a diverse amount of skin tones (Ranging from brown, white, etc). There's also a large amount of Caucasians - with the other main ethnic group being Asian (There isn't that much diversity in Nueva Emmanuela). Nueva Emmanuela itself is a large tropical paradise, and much like other Caribbean islands, it's often a tourist attraction. The streets of the downtown area are quite lavish with fancy restaurants, convenience stores, and other places that would make any tourist blush. In addition to the many, many, lush beaches, casinos, and other places that make this nation a perfect tourist attraction. However, outside of these locations, the nation is pretty poor. The streets are run down, and abundant with poverty. This poverty breeds crime, and the nation of Nueva Emmanuela is a massive location for the illegal black market, and drug trade. If you want something shady, this is where to get it.

Surprisingly, enough, Nueva Emmanuela has a large amount of Metahumans - the highest in the Caribbean, in fact. Many Metahumans have, for some reason, sprung up in the city. It isn't no where near the amounts of some of the cities in say America and Europe, but it's certainly notable. The nation isn't in pieces due to the police force keeping Metahumans in line, but, the nation has a large amount of Metacrime, as many poor Metahumans participate in the drug trade. Like other nations in the Caribbean, Nueva Emmanuela is very prone to hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Nine years ago, the nation was ravaged by a massive hurricane which almost swept the whole place away. Disaster relief from all over helped.

||| The Setting: DOVE & RAVEN |||

After the disgrace and the subsequent rebranding of NEST, the organization was split into two new agencies: RAVEN and DOVE. Founded a year after the Verthaven Disaster, each agency are meant to be improvements on the flawed NEST system. Hoping to succeed where NEST failed. DOVE & RAVEN combined are two organizations which handle the Metahumans of America. Both agencies are better regulated than the government than NEST was, and the entire structure has been changed. Instead of a grand council reigning full control of the agency, it has been changed to a sole chairmen making all executive decisions for them. Each of the two organizations tackles a different aspect of it; DOVE's best interest is the protection, social and mental development of metahumans, and taking steps prevent them from becoming threats in the future. RAVEN's primary objective is the investigation, apprehending, and detainment of Metahumans who have broken the law. Both organizations work hand-in-hand, as they are technically two sides of the same coin. Both organizations are volunteer based, long as people meet a certain set of requirements, they can apply to join either agency. However, RAVEN, due to it's rules, are stricter with their recruitment as they're higher stakes. Many people have also been formally invited to the agencies. Namely Metahumans, as the two agencies will need everything they got (Along with giving Metahumans solid jobs). 

Training is long, and grueling, but generally only takes two years to become an "Agent." Training gives recruits military grade training, and a wide set of skills. Firearm training, hand to hand, and training on how to deal with metahumans in accordance to their respective agencies. Except, DOVEs are only given basic self-defense training (Firearms, and whatnot) - their training veers more on psychology/sociology, and social work, so they can take steps to ensure the healthy development of Metahumans. The agencies, surprisingly enough, are very rooted in the military. They go off a similar ranking system to the US Army, with all Agents starting out as private (Or more accurately, trainee), training until they reach the rank of officer, in which they are deployed on the field. They are given the best training, equipment, and funding, the government can apply. They are equipped with an arsenal of weapons, a fleet of vehicles (Each with a RAVEN/DOVE) logo on them, and other high tech gadgets. Also, their colors are both black.

Both agencies work throughout the US, Canada, and Mexico (Though in the case of the latter two, this is merely part of an initiative to encourage co-operation between the US and its neighbouring law enforcement agencies). They are primarily situated in the United States. They have an outpost in every major city - they are in fact designated from a one to hundred number depending on the size of the city (EX: New York City is 1, Los Angeles is 3, and so on). The Canadian and Mexican co-operative branches each have their own respective offices, which operate in a similar manner to an embassy, assisting local law enforcement and metahuman management agencies in cases which link to the US. Special designations can be applied to a depending on the circumstances. Much like how it's predecessor worked, each major DOVE/RAVEN base has a Director who oversees all operations within the city. Each member of either organization works out of their home city's base. DOVE/RAVEN cities are so closely connected that, should such a threat demand it, forces can be allocated from other cities.

Much like the military DOVEs and RAVENs are often transferred from city to city, often working in another city for years before they are returned to their assigned city. Both RAVENs and DOVEs have access to DNA scanners that allow them to access the national metahuman databanks merely by running it over a Metahuman.

|| DOVE ||

Symbol of DOVE.

With their symbol being a dove, DOVE handles the social side of Metahumans. By providing them with the care and attention they need so that they don't develop into super-criminals. With a "Prevention is better than the cure" mindset, DOVE goes out of it's way to manage Metahumans by scheduling regular appointments to assess their mental, emotional, and financial state. These appointments generally involve a DOVE coming to their house (Or, indeed, they're welcome to visit a local office), and they are advised and given assessments, their capabilities will be explored, before they are sent on their way. The frequency of these appointments depend on age, and how much of a "flight risk" a person is. An adult, fully functional Metahuman with no criminal record will at most be invited to an appointment once or twice within a period of several years, whilst those on probation or otherwise known for instability will tend to have to check in once, if not several times a year. Younger Metahumans typically face appointments (done via the educational system) once every three months - with more steps taken if they're considered at risk. You could say that DOVE has made it a personal mission to ensure that children are mentally balanced, taking necessary steps in order to assure that they are properly educated on how to use their powers and how to properly act within society, often directing children who display deviant behavior (or a lack of control of their powers) to the Academy Program.

DOVE is less punishing than what NEST was known for - preferring to put Metahumans on probation rather than outright incarcerating them for things such as losing control of their powers. However, blatantly deviant or continuously criminal behavior will get a Metahuman thrown in a jail cell. DOVE handles the many social issues that Metahumans face (Such as PR, and whatnot), Metahuman research, and keeping a national database of Metahumans. DOVE is also tasked with identifying potential Metahumans, investigation of crimes involving Metahumans (alongside co-operating with law enforcement agencies where needed), and keeping eye out for Metahuman malfeasance (In the economic/political area). Whilst there are a wide variety of positions within the agency, DOVE agents, whilst not exposed to the same level of the militarised RAVEN, are still given basic combat training alongside additional training to account for dealing with Metahumans on a daily basis.

DOVE also provides special medical care for Metahumans, and those afflicted with power-injuries most hospitals won't be able to able. They at times use an "air bus" as an ambulance to quickly transport a wounded person across a city to their DOVE base. If a Metahuman chooses to reject their power, they may apply for a power suppressant collar in which will be placed in a discreet location.

Deborah Javuant - Originally a woman from Black Fall Pennsylvania that became a NEST Agent, Deborah was a strong advocate for change within the NEST Organization. Stating that the system was flawed and needed to be changed - which fell on deaf ears as High Command chose to ignore her. However, she got the change that she idealized once NEST was disbanded, and DOVE was formed. Due to her exemplary humanity, and skills as an Agent, Deborah was chosen to be the Chairmen of DOVE, and she was the woman who shaped DOVE into what it is today. Deborah is a tall African-American woman that is well built. She is a Metahuman with a powerful array of Extra-sensory abilities that gives her information on what she can perceive (Along with other telepathic abilities). Deborah is regarded as one of the kindest Agents, and gives it her all as she tries to improve the world, not just for Metahumans, but for everyone. She currently works in the Baybridge base.
Shannon Balore - Deborah's rather grumpy assistant. A rather close childhood friend of hers that followed Deborah all the way to the top, doing all she can to support her. From being the fried that Deborah needed, to joining NEST with her. Which has earned her a spot as Deborah's assistant within DOVE. She makes appointments, and helps Deborah manage things around DOVE. She supports in executive decisions. Shannon is a red-haired Irish/Israel woman who's blue eyes are hidden behind a pair of glasses. She is known for her excessively stylish clothings... because of her ability to manipulate clothes (More like the ability to manipulate everything clothes are made out of) allows her to make any outfit imaginable. As you may have expected, Shannon is in Baybridge with Deborah. Though, it's suspected they're more than just friends....

|| RAVEN ||

Symbol of RAVEN.

The sword to DOVE's shield, RAVEN is an emergency response team that has been trained extensively to deal with Metahuman threats when ever they appear. They are what is deployed when a situation is out of DOVE's hands and are an agency that is specially trained to combat Metahumans and other threats that regular law enforcement agencies are incapable of handling. Each RAVEN is heavily trained in various military skills which makes them incredibly dangerous if applied correctly. They are trained to combat Metahumans and how to properly handle a wide variety of superpowers. They are usually sent out in teams that detain Metahuman threats, often eliminate them if they prove to be too dangerous. Thus, RAVENs are equipped with lethal, and nonlethal weaponry depending on the mission - however, they are now more on detaining Metahumans than killing them, and lethal force is seldom met without scrutiny. Among RAVEN's ranks are a variety of trained Metahumans - even though a large majority of the government branch still consists of agents without Metahuman abilities. Field agents are often regulated by a singular mission control agent. RAVEN is constantly recruiting people from other branches of the government, police forces, and at times, Metahumans straight out the Academy program. RAVEN is what's known for it's honor, and their extreme skill and precision in handling Metahumans. They protect both human and Metahuman alike from threats. RAVEN is also the organization that gets the special technology made to combat Metahuman abilities. Naturally, many of these technological pieces were once employed by NEST. Every RAVEN operation is overseen by a team of mission control operations, and they are supported by a squad of Intelligence Officers who make the difference between life and death.

Maximilian Cornell - Pupil of Adam Blackmore, and NEST boy wonder, Maximilian Cornell was a very promising NEST Agent - that would eventually become the head of RAVEN. He started out as a trouble-some brat that used his power to cause trouble, after getting evened out by Adam, Maximilian decided to become a NEST Agent. He eventually rose through the ranks through sheer leadership, skill, and cohesion until he was being selected to act as a stand-in director. When he was assigned to work in Verthaven, he lead NEST's branch through to the battles against the Hands of Science, to leading the survivors of the Verthaven disaster against the Changeling Unit, and the Devil of Verthaven. After the disbandment of NEST, it was decided that Maximilian would be selected as the chairmen of the RAVEN organization. He gleefully accepted the position in hopes of leading the organization in a direction that would be best for North America's metahumans, constantly making decisions alongside Deborah. Maximilian is a very tall man at 6'4, Caucasian, and has a muscular build from all the working out he does (He's no body builder, though. He has to fight crime!). He is said to have the look of a superhero - which is what he's striving for. He has long, strong limbs, and a broad chest. Usually covered up by his black suit and tie. What he's famous for is his power Echo - A shining golden, almost ghost-like, copy of himself that has unparalleled speed, strength, and durability that is believed to be rooted in telekinesis (Maximilian himself can also fly). Maximilian is currently in Black Fall, trying to personally quell the situation.
Dana Alcott - Maximilian's wheelchair bound assistant. Dana is a former NEST Mission Control Operator that's from New York City, and eventually graduated from Academy 218 - before she joined NEST as a mission control officer. Dana was also Adam's pupil during her time in Academy, which got her a spot as Task Force RAVEN's mission control, and was brought to Verthaven. She worked behind the scenes to ensure NEST's victories against the Hands, and all other threats. Which ended with Maximilian being promoted - and Dana being promoted as well (To his assistant). In which she is glad to have her spot. As I mentioned before, Dana is a wheelchair-bound woman that was born with a birth defect in her spine. She's happy as they get, however. Dana is a woman with biege-white skin, and there is a multitude of European Countries in her blood. Dana has made a note not to indulge in greasy foods, so she's rather thin, and wiry. A little bit of exercise helped. Her arms are toned from years upon years of upper arm exercise. Dana has blue eyes that are oddly beady, striking. Her facial features are sharp, and she looks very mousy behind her glasses. Most notably, is her head of hair. It's very curly. She has a shaggy hairstyle that is almost like an afro, but not too big or silly. Sometimes she puts flowers into her hair. However, despite her innocent looks, Dana is one of the most dangerous Metahumans in RAVEN. Whenever no one is looking at her, she transforms into an abomination so horrible that it defies laws of physics. This creature is strong, durable, regenerative, and above all else, fast. It can cover twenty feet in the literal blink of an eye. Fortunately, (For the bad guys) she is content with staying in her office.

| Tools & Gadgets |

Armor: Every RAVEN is equipped with a special battle dress which is comprised of kelvar, chain mesh, and so on, painted black with the RAVEN logo on it. As it's armor made to fight Metahumans, it's bullet resistant, heat, corrosion, impact, and electricity resistant. They're not invulnerable, but they can take a bit of punishment.
Advanced Firearms: RAVEN, naturally, has access to a variety of top-grade firearms. Assault Rifles, Snipers, Pistols, and so on. The weapons have been modified to use different types of ammunition, or to be resistant to a certain type of power. Most notably are taser dart rounds, and grenade launchers that fire containment foam/Meta suppressant gas.
Fleet of Vehicles: Much like their access to firearms, RAVEN has a wide variety of vehicles at their disposal. Humvees, Vans, Trucks, helicopters, boats, etc. These vehicles are painted black, and have the RAVEN Logo painted on them. These vehicles have, of course, been modified to be durable and armored. Some are even modified to be resistant to powers.
Taser-Darts: One of the ammo-types that RAVENs use to detain Metahumans are darts that unleash a brief electric shock on contact. This is enough to stun anyone without a resistance. Thus, allowing them to be detained.
Electro-Net Launcher: Another in the line of humane ways to detain Metahumans, the Electro-Net Launcher is a special gun that fires a net made out of strong wires at high speeds. Once they hit a target, they will wrap around it, and administer an electric shock that should disable the Metahuman.
Power Suppressant Collars: Easily one of the chief pieces of RAVEN equipment that every Field RAVEN Agent is given out on the field. It's a simple metal collar that, once attached to a Metahuman, suppresses the Metahuman energy enough so that their power cannot be used.
Metahuman Detector: Every RAVEN comes equipped with a special device that lets them detect a Metahuman in the area. It doesn't exactly pin-point their location, but it lets a RAVEN know if there's a Metahuman in the area.
Wrist-Mounted Touchpad: Every field Agent is given a special mini-computer that they can bring on the field that allows them to quickly access the RAVEN Databanks. Alternatively, it also counts as a backup communicator, a GPS, along with other useful gadgets (You can play Candy Crush on it!).
Containment Foam: A special chemical compound created by studying a Metahuman. Containment Foam is a chemical mixture fired from a special sprayer device that quickly expands, and hardens, on contact. Encasing whatever is unlucky enough inside of it. Once hardened, containment foam is incredibly durable, heat resistant, and corrosion resistant - it will usually soften and break down on it's own, but there's a special compound which breaks it down. This is usually used on Metahumans that are resistant to physical damage, or is too dangerous to approach up close. Containment foam is so useful that large sprayers are often attached to vehicles such as helicopters.
Anti-Metahuman Suppressant Gas: A very special RAVEN chemical that was accidentally discovered by ISD scientists. It is a gas that, once it gets inhaled by a Metahuman, and acts as a powerful sedative. Quickly knocking them out. Only those with a high level of resistance to chemicals can stave off its effects.

| Global Metahuman Regulation Agencies |

|  Metahuman Intelligence and Social Welfare (MISW) |
Co-Created with @Zombiedude101 & @Nosuchthing

The United Kingdom's version of NEST that has cropped up around the same time that Metahumans (and NEST) were revealed to the world - that was heavily modeled after the US' NEST. It was suspected that the MISW has been operating for a while now. However, the MISW was an organization that was a former branch of MI that was reshuffled, and eventually turned into it's own form of the UK's government. It's split into two halfs; those who keep track of the United Kingdom's Metahumans, and also eliminate hostile Metahumans. Unlike NEST, it was quite relaxed, with only Metahumans being added to a national database. Britain has a small, but elite army, and the addition of SAS trained metahumans ensured that they remained so, while providing the MISW with a steady supply of disciplined, trained enforcers, and Great Britain’s intelligence services benefited just as much. The operational side of the MISW has a tendency to strictly employ those with either law enforcement or military background, though exceptions are now being made for those who train via the British version of the Academy Program.

Candidates for employment must also go through a lengthy vetting process, culminating in the personal approval of the Director (who answers only to Britain's top brass). However, the MISW has an edge on other Metahuman Regulation agencies. They have a Metahuman who can distribute a single power among a group of people at a reduced rate. Which basically turns them into "Mini" Metahumans. These metahumans are well cared for, but those who do not seek this life are left to rot, abilities are even more strictly controlled than in America, unsanctioned use of any metahuman abilities in public is a prosecutable offence. Parents with metahuman children can be deemed unfit to raise them and deprived of their own kin with no chance to object legally. For a country that once was regarded as a socialist beacon, Britain’s treatment of metahumans is beginning to resemble that of a fascist dictatorship - though a growing opposition to this is gaining ground.
Judith Edwards - The Director of the MISW, Judith is the ruthless and efficient leader of that organization that climbed her way to the top from a mere low level Agent. All because she displayed skill unlike any other, now, in her old age, she sits behind the desks and operates things from the sidelines. Judith expects her daughter to take her position. Judith is an octogenarian, and a very well maintained woman. She's a bit portly due to age, and the fact that she isn't as active as she used to be. She makes up for her age wearing down on her looks to take as much personal care of herself as possible. Judith is usually wearing a suit of some sort. Much like her daughter, Judith is a Metahuman. Judith has the ability to manipulate metals.
Amy Edwards - The daughter of Judith, Amy is the top MISW agent, with an impressive track record of successful missions under her belt. To the point where she leads her own elite team of Metahumans. Amy is considered the head of the organization at this point. Much like Judith, Amy is British (Part Scottish) with flowing red hair, is somewhat tall, and is very in shape for missions. Unlike her mother, Amy is not a "Prime" Metahuman. She is merely the result of Grayson (See below) transferring a great deal of reduced powers into her - she makes great use of all these abilities.
Grayson Williams - A key resource in the MISW. He is a young, recruit of at least five years in the MISW. With him, the MISW has managed to turn itself into a greater strength than it ever was before. You see, Greyson has the ability to take powers of "Prime" Metahumans, and distribute them among a group of people at a reduced strength. Grayson, with time, managed to give every field Agent of the MISW a wide variety of weak powers (Turning them into a jack of all trades, shall we say). These powers include Judith's Metal manipulation, invisibility, strength, energy beams, etc....

| Metahuman Special Armed Force Suzaku |
By @tsukune

Nouryokusha Tokushu Busou Butai Suzaku - Shortened to just Suzaku, or Suzaku Butai - is Japan's organization tasked with combating Metahumans. It is a joint department created by the Metropolitan and JSDF, directly controlled by the Japanese military. Suzaku isn't as large as other nations' counterparts, instead it's an elite and focused task force that goes out to combat Metahuman threats, while the social regulation of Metahumans is simply left to the normal Japanese police. Suzaku is a very skilled task force that comprises of heavily trained and armed humans and Metahumans alike; they are known for their high level of cohesion, skill, and precision that make up for their small department size. However, they rarely identify themselves to the public, and very little is known about the internal structure of the organization, such as their members.
Kazunari Inoue - General Kazunari Inoue is the current head for Suzaku Butai. Prior to this he was in JSDF (Ground) of the same rank; in fact, he was about to retire from decades of military service when the Devil disaster shook the whole world. In respond to the increasing tensions between human and Metahumans, the Japanese government - through the Metropolitan and JSDF - joined forces and set up Suzaku, so as to deal with the anti-Meta hostility and terrorism within Japan; General Inoue was then called in to lead the newly formed department, imparting his knowledge and experience with Metahumans to help train and prepare the team in the light of the Metahuman crisis. Inoue is a humanoid shapeshifter - that is, he can easily change his appearance into any other human being, including the clothes they wear. However, if the person is a Metahuman he can only copy their outward identity, and unable to replicate their powers.
Ryunosuke Koizumi - Colonel Ryunosuke Koizumi is probably the most powerful Metahuman in the squad - so much so that the suppressant collar is only enough to use as a limiter/controller to his Electrical Absorption and Discharge ability, and unable to completely negate his superpower (obviously, the collar has to be custom-made to withstand his power). He's often seen wearing clothes that cover as much of his skin as possible - well, you don't want to get a nasty shock from his constantly live body. He's the nephew of Inoue, but not many people are aware of this fact.

| Wurdulac (WLC) |
By @He Who Walks Behind

Less of a regulation agency, and more of a wetworks organization, the WLC is Russia's personal Metahuman organization, with roots dating as far back as the early days of the Cold War. They are a shadier organization, that focuses less on the administrative side of Metahumans, and takes full advantage of their abilities. Assassinations, wetworks, black markets, and more. All in the name of keeping Russia safe. They are known to battle Metahumans whenever they arise, however Wurdulac go about it in a different angle. One that most people wouldn't. Most of the WLC's atrocities are swept under the rug by the government. However, they are known to be effective at what they do, and few would tangle with Wurdulac. The WLC has been falling under controversy lately as it's been revealed that they were one of the Changeling Unit's contacts.
Dmitriy Zaytesev - The head of the WLC Agency. He's a former member of the Russian Spetsnaz that manisfested powers, once he did, he was taken off Spetsnaz and placed within Wurdulac. In which he was assigned as the leader of the group. Dmitriy is a large man who has electrical powers. He can easily produce a bolt of lightning. He's ruthless, and has a nonexistent moral compass. He is a corrupt man that only wants to get the job done. Maybe getting some cash along the way.
Segey Kozlov - A former member of the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), Segey is Dmitriy's number two. Segey acts as the intelligence officer for the WLC, the one who gets them connections to the Russian underworld, and the one who cleans up for the crimes committed by the WLC. He doesn't go out on the field that much, and simply acts as the mission control for the WLC. He has telekinesis, he can produce a telekinetic storm that ravages all in his way.

| People's Metahuman Armed Police Force (MAP) |
By @tsukune

Zhong Hua Ren Min Chao Neng Li Wu Zhuang Jing Cha Bu Dui - shortened to MAP - are China's military metahumans that are dispatched to handle threats that the regular police couldn't handle. They work within all of China's borders, and are extremely well-trained, and -armed. Probably the largest armed Metahuman organization in the world - truly a force to be reckoned with if one were to occur their wrath. What's more, they are well-paid and -cared for just like the other Chinese military groups, thus they have a never-ending stream of people volunteering themselves to join, which prompts them to enforce a series of strict entry tests so that they can pick the right people for the job. They are primarily composed of rather powerful Metahumans, with other exemplary soldiers chosen for the group (mainly in terms of leadership). Each Metahuman goes through an intense amount of training that prepare them for a wide variety of situations - for handling threats with powers, sometimes even those without them.
Luo Zhifeng - General Luo Zhifeng is the chief commanding officer of MAP. He was previously a Major General in the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Ground Force, but Verthaven's Devil disaster has resulted in a widespread Metahuman panic across the rest of the world, prompting the Chinese law enforcement authorities to call for a reform in MAP in order to handle the rising social unrest against the Metahuman communities in China; General Luo gets a rank promotion, and is transferred from the main army force to head the new MAP. He has the power to manipulate emotions and feelings of the people around him - on its own it doesn't seem to be an impressive ability, but when coupled with his (cunning) way with words, very few have the mental resilience to resist his power.
Yang Wei - Major General Yang Wei is General Luo's mentor and right-hand man, making him the second-in-command in MAP. Originally he held the rank of Senior Colonel, and he was later promoted at Luo's request to transfer him under his wing into MAP. Major General Yang's power is telepathy - reading the minds of others - and that's all to it since it doesn't come with the ability to control their brain.

| Directorate-General For Meta-Human Security (DGMHS) |

Translated as Direction générale de la sécurité humaine méta. The DGMHS is the French Metahuman regulation corps of France. It's a collaboration between the French Armed Forces, the Directorate-General for External Security, and the General Directorate for Internal Security, to create another subset of the Directorate Generals. An agency that's modeled after the American NEST, and the British MISW, the DGMHS is both an intelligence agency, and a strike force meant to take out hostile Metahumans to preserve French national security. It's a sizable organization with two sides to it. Fortunately, the DGMHS is fairly lax of Metahumans, as they are generally tolerated and accepted in France. The registration in France is simply their identity being uploaded into a system, and they get a card with all of their information for members of the DGMHS. However, the offensive side of the DGMHS is a force to be reckoned with. They consist of the best soldiers funneled by the Special Operations Command, and they are trained to combat Metahumans with surprising efficiency. Like the other organizations, they are known to employ Metahumans, and have sizable Metahuman rank. Each city in France gets it's own special task force, and they are quite a public figure in the Metahuman world.
Jean-Noel Buque - The former Director of the DGMHS. He lead the DGHMS for decades, and was considered to be one of the best. He attempted to inspire cooperation between different countries, and was the one who attempted to quell the Anti-Metahuman hysteria that was going on after the Verthaven disaster. He was one of the main critics of NEST's actions during (and after) that disaster, only because of how inhumane it was. However, Jean-Noel had an addiction to sex. Which the White Spider Society took advantage of, and used Jean-Noel to secure that they stay under the radar in France. However, once he was caught having sex with one of White Arachne's Granddaughters, he was disgraced, and forced to resign. Jean-Noel was succeeded by Jean Bonneville. Jean-Noel has no powers to speak of.
Jean Bonneville - Originally the number for Jean-Noel, Jean became the head of the DGMHS after the man stepped down. Jean is a fair man that's stepping into the shoes left by his predecessor. Jean is a Metahuman with regeneration, and a slight speed buff.

| Collective Metahuman Services (KMD) & Task Force Týr |

Translated as Kollektiv Metamensch Dienstleistungen. The German Metahuman agency, a division of the Joint Support Service (Which is in turn another branch of the Federal Defence) which is specialized in combating supernatural threats - much like the rest of the agencies. The KMD is a Metahuman policing unit that isn't exactly as large or dangerous as the other Meta regulation organizations - due to the small number of Metahumans inside Germany. The KMD is deployed only when a Metahuman is creating a disturbance, and they're separated into two halfs; the usual enforcement which are more like police officers, and Týr, a specialized task force meant to deal with and detain Metahumans comprised of some of the best soldiers that could be allocated. Týr is mainly comprised of Metahumans that are given training on par with Kommando Spezialkräfte, and are some of the most fearsome soldiers out there. Due to German politics rearing it's head, the KMD is trying their very best not to appear like they are governing Metahumans because of their genes (And come off like the Nazis before them). Which leads to Meta-regulation in Germany being very lax.
Daniel Groezinger - Head of the KMD, Daniel is a forty year old man that is an army veteran that they decided to place as the leader of the KMD. He's a short tempered man who has a lower tolerance for failure, but he's only after Germany's safety. Though, after the Verthaven disaster, he has been getting stricter. Daniel has been trying to mend the growing Metahuman bias within Germany, but he's finding that hard when he agrees with them. Daniel is not a Metahuman.
Felix Kettenacker - The hero of Germany that saved the nation from Metahuman related threats for years now, Felix is the head of Task Force Týr. A very professional soldier, and the face of the KMD. He works under Daniel, but he has a considerable influence within the KMD. Felix does his job, but he also wants to help Metahumans. Which is why he's also encouraging cooperation between the neighboring nations. Felix has a wide variety of super system abilities. Super strength being his main ability, with regeneration, agility, and buffs in speed and reflexes.

| The International Metahuman Research Agency |
By @Fat Boy Kyle

The International Metahuman Research Agency - Shortened to just TIMRA - It is a multinational agency which answers directly to the United Nations General Assembly and the United Nations Security Council. TIMRA has three primary goals: 1) to ensure that Human Rights laws are upheld in research facilities world-wide; 2) to ensure that International Conventions are adhered to by research facilities; and 3) to prevent the weaponising of metahumans and the creation of weapons from metahuman research. TIMRA operates by deploying inspectors across the globe to carry out investigations and assessments in facilities believed to be conducting research on or relating to metahumans. Whilst many countries are cooperative (or claim to be), TIMRA inspectors do not have any inherent authority in whatever given country they find themselves in. TIMRA inspectors often how to work closely with enforcement agencies (such as DOVE/RAVEN) to carry out inspections. TIMRA was modeled off various other multinational agencies such as INTERPOL and The International Atomic Energy Agency.
(Director General) Robert Churchill - The current head of TIMRA, Director Churchill was previously a Human Rights Lawyer for the UN. Little is known about him (more due to a lack of interest than any secrecy), save for his position and the fact that he himself is a metahuman. It's believed he has the ability to transform into a hawk and that his eyes are incredibly sharp. 
Niklas Amundsson - Known by most that work for TIMRA, Niklas joined the agency soon after its conception and has since been one of its most successful and prolific inspectors. He is currently making waves in America as he battles for permission to investigate big corporations like The Liu Pharmaceutical Company.

| Special Committee For Metahuman Resources and Security (CESRM) |
Co-Written with @Defacto

Translated as Comissão Especial de Segurança e Recursos Meta-humanos. The Brazilian law enforcement enforcement that is tasked with dealing with Metahuman threats. Recently created just two years after the Verthaven Disaster (In which Brazilian Metahumans became a lot more common). A collaboration between the Brazilian Law Enforcement agencies (The Civil and Military Police), and the Brazilian Military (The Brazilian Armed Forces, and The Brazilian Intelligence Agency) to create an organization that should be more than capable of handling threats. They're many sides: Investigation, Prevention, and actual Policing. These three categories are very skills. The CESRM is certainly not a big player like RAVEN/DOVE, the MISW, or the MAP, but each member of the organization is heavily trained, and are very skilled at their jobs. Enough to keep order within Brazil. Due to emergency recruitment, it heavily consists of people recruited from the aforementioned Civil and Military Police, and the Brazilian Military. It has a wide variety of agents - however, there is a heavy corruption within the CESRM. The organization is already known globally for their police brutality, and their corruption. While there are members that have the best interests at heart, many take bribes, and under the counter deals with criminals. 
Melissa Rodrigues Barros - Former Colonel in the Military Police, Melissa is the appointed head of CESRM. A mother of two in her thirties, she does her best to ensure the best for her family. She leads the CESRM to the best of her ability, using her knowledge of the Metahuman world to make decisions. Melissa wants to make the CESRM the perfect organization that moderates Metahumans and Humans alike, but the corruption of her subordinates runs deep. She attempts to remove the corruption, with no success. Melissa is a Metahuman with solar manipulation. She can emits blasts of scorching light, and absorb the sun around herself to regenerate.

| Other Organizations |

| White Spider Society  |

The White Spider Society are a very mysterious organization that basically specializes in sex. They've been operating for decades now. They own several expensive clubs and brothels all over Europe - quickly branching into North America, and Asian. The Organization itself is owned by White Arachne, a very wealthy and mysterious woman. She has enough money in order to support the Society, and pay off anyone who might bring up any issue. She keeps the organization nicely organized by hiring "managers" who run individual city operations, and "district managers" who run the larger operations in countries (Usually the daughters of White Arachne). Though, White Arachne has supreme control over the entire organization - and sometimes shows up in her own clubs. The White Spider Society is very mysterious, despite having public brothels and clubs open to everyone. They keep as much about the inner-workings of the organization a secret. For good reason, the Society owns a lot of the prostitution rings in Europe, and manage high-quality prostitutes in every major city. Along with importing/exporting prostitutes into other countries. The Society also has an interest in catering to "acquired tastes" which come in the form of Metahumans. They primarily recruit Metahumans with Bestial power-sets to work in their brothels. The Society is incredibly classy, and well organized. 

The members are recruited, and only those who can uphold the Society's standard are allowed in. Men or women, black or white, they do not discriminate. It's members are noted for wearing animal themed masquerade masks, white, pinstriped, suits, and having incredibly polite, butler-like, personalities. These are to make the members blend in to each other as much as possible (And keep their identities a secret). Despite these traits, the Society is easily the most docile organization, they do not commit violent crimes unless they are pushed. When someone does cross them, they tend to go missing However, recently, with the rise in Anti-Metahuman hysteria, they have been taking some hits by the paranoid, and their Metahuman prostitutes haven't been seeing much business lately.
White Arachne - The very head of this strange organization. She is a very mysterious woman, with a mysterious amount of wealth, and a very special interest... She managed to form a major prostitution ring which spans multiple continents. White Arachne is the queen of this empire, managing to form connections with law enforcement all across Europe. It's unknown what exactly White Arachne's name is, she tends to keep her distance, and keep on the move. She appears in clubs all over her empire randomly. However, she is known to be quite the lover, since she managed to seduce several men to sire daughters  her. These daughters were raised to be the "lieutenants" to White Arachne's organization, and the eventual successors to the society when she passes. White Arachne is an elderly woman in her late seventies, but she's surprisingly thin and lithe for her age. She keeps in good shape, you could say. White Arachne wears all sorts of expensive dresses when she goes out to her clubs, and rarely interacts with anyone but her daughters... unless someone pips her interest, that is. It's unknown if she has a superpower, but it's common knowledge that she doesn't.
Lilian & Viollette Croquetaigne - The two twin daughters of White Arachne that are the many district managers of the White Spider Society. They operate things in America, and are quite intelligent. They're the oldest of White Arachne's daughters, both in their mid-fifties, and they're the closest to her. They are two French women that have blonde hair and blue eyes. They are quite curvy, and the form fitting suits they wear tends to accent their curves. Neither of them have superpowers of the sort. Both of them are in Baybridge running operations.
Valentine Béland - One of White Arachne's youngest daughters, who runs the Society's operations that are pushing into Asia. She is, too, part French, but she's also half Chinese. Which shows in her facial features. Valentine has no powers to speak of.

| La Familia De Asesinos |

The Family of Killers - shorted to La Familia or The Cartel - is a major Mexican Cartel that has been the terror of central American for decades now. Formed by a man with a dream (and a desire to watch the world burn), they specialize in the production and distribution of drugs. They mostly get high quality cocaine and other drugs of the sort over the border, and all over the world. However, they are also incredibly ruthless, and are responsible for hundreds of deaths over the years. As they have been declaring outright war on law enforcement. What makes La Familia extra dangerous is that they employ a variety of Metahumans. They've been forcing any Metahuman they come across to join them (Whether or not they're over eighteen), and become apart of La Familia. If Metahumans don't join, then they are beaten until they do... or otherwise persuaded through other threats. What has caught NEST's attention was that they were sending Mexican Metahumans to America to do drug deals. The main reason NEST wanted to expand into Mexico. After NEST has been disbanded, and RAVEN/DOVE has taken it's place, the bill to expand into Mexico has been passed and a joint operation between Mexican officials and RAVEN/DOVE has been enacted to combat La Familia. Their Metahuman population has been cut off because DOVE has been offering Metahumans assistance - and RAVEN has been launching jointed strikes against La Familia alongside Mexican officials.
Antonio Villanueva - The man who started La Familia. He started out as a mere drug peddler that managed to get his own gang due to his ruthlessness and efficiency. He was building up an empire to be Mexico's worst monster, and it got worse as he gained power was knocking over the larger Cartels by using his Metahuman army, and establishing La Familia in Mexico. He took advantage of the growing drug trade to gain immense power in Mexico to the point where he's a big player there. From there, he only aims to expand his empire, and become the world's richest man. He's cunning, manipulative, and borderline inhuman. There's nothing he won't do in pursuit of his goals.
Tigre Sangriento - Bloody Tiger. One of Antonio's top enforcers, and is a Metahuman. She is a beefy South American woman that has Tiger Physiology, and high level pyrokinesis. She's known to be ruthless as Antonio, and loyal to him - but in reality, she's after nothing more than her own self interests. Since her time as a child soldier in South America, Tigre is one of the most dangerous Metahumans in the world. She has killed many, many, people, and is officially on Mexico's (And RAVEN's) kill-on-sight list. 
Viento del Desierto - The Desert Wind. Tigre's partner, and one of the child soldiers employed by Antonio for being a Metahuman. She's a woman that has the ability to control sand on a macro level, and has caused massive amounts of destruction with this ability. She has literally buried small towns in Central America in sand. However, she has dreams of striking out on her own, alongside Tigre.

| The Allegiance |

The Verthaven disaster has brought Metahuman relations to an all-time low. Metahumans were being killed left and right, and the government wasn't doing anything. Which is why one man assembled a group to fight back against the enemies of Metahumans - which snowballed into a larger group. Declaring themselves an "Allegiance" formed between Metahumans to defend themselves from others. The Allegiance can roughly be declared the antithesis to the Pure. They fight for the defense and supremacy of Metahumans, driven by the anger of Meta-children being slaughtered. They have been tightly engaged in a conflict with the Pure, but they've also been going also the Saviors, and the ISD. The main problem is that they've been causing large amounts of property damage, and shows a form of racism that makes them no different from the Pure (However, they do not go around killing nonhumans). The Allegiance have been a prime target of the newly formed RAVEN, and the organization has clashed many times in the process.
Amethyst - The "Founder" of the Allegiance who was fed up with seeing her Metahumans slaughtered right before her eyes. Amethyst was already a trouble starter with influence - responsible for attacking Academy 218 once - but after the Verthaven disaster she was able to gather fellow Metahumans disgruntled with the Pure uprising. She formed the Allegiance, and it snowballed from there. Years after she formed the Allegiance, Amethyst remains an infamous figure. She rarely makes appearances herself, and when she does, it's quite the event. Amethyst is a powerful Metahuman with vague abilities, it revolves around a variety of different powers. It's suspected she's a power replicator.
The Beasts of Burden - A very rare group of octuplets that all managed to manifest the same power. They all gained the ability to turn into brutal monstrosities that each have a different form (For example, one is humanoid, another is like a bat, another walks like a gorilla, etc) and transformed they're immensely strong. They follow Amethyst because she liberated them from NEST persecution because the broken system got each of them branded a threat and arrested. Since they have no other lives, they fight for change. Each of them acts as Amethyst's personal enforcers, and rarely separate from each other.
Caden Zorich - The Shadow Child. The co-founder of the Allegiance (And the one who put the idea for the group in Amethyst's head). Caden Zorich was a former Academy 218 attendant who got the idea of Metahuman superiority from his time there. From there, Caden left, and wandered each of the major Metahuman hotspots across America which furthered his concept. Up until he became a member of the Skulls back in Mendel, and gained a following like no other. After the Skulls were destroyed, Caden was the one who managed to escape arrest and build a following in the shadows. Caden encountered Amethyst, and the two joined forces to form the Allegiance. Strange, cunning, flamboyant, ruthless, sadistic... Caden is not one who should be taken lightly. Caden is a Metahuman who possesses the ability to create a black energy that can take three different forms (Solid, liquid, and gas) and he can freely manipulate and transform into. It's Cerebral in nature as it's formed from the negative emotions from the people around him. Thus, he gets stronger and weaker depending on who's around.

| The Philosophers |

A secret society that is almost as old as the Hands of Science. Created by a man centuries ago, the Philosophers have changed goals considerably throughout the years. They first started out as a secret society that was out to protect the secret of Metahumans from the world. Being responsible for covering up events caused by Metahumans, and whatever would cause them to be revealed to the world. Their secondary goal was research. They were comprised of several of the world's greatest minds, and they wanted to put their minds to good use coming up with research developments that put them on par with the now defunct Hands of Science. After Metahumans were revealed to the world, their new goal was to help preserve order from the shadows - keeping Metahumans from getting too out of line, along with combating other devious organizations. Their main target used to be the Changeling Unit, and their leader Luis. As the Philosophers attempted to hide the knowledge that Luis spoke of ("Godhood") in order to prevent more people from pursuing it. Most notably, they're the brave people who have been tracking down the children who have been kidnapped and sold by the Changeling Unit. They've been going out of their way to save whoever they can. They went after the Hands of Science in order to bring an end to their inhumane experimentation. 

The Philosophers only recruit those they feel would make good members of their organizations - benevolent people that can keep a secret, and knows how to stay in the shadows. Where ever they are needed, the Philosophers go. They attempt to keep order in the Metahuman world by providing homes, education, and a safe training environment to young Metahumans. They're the organization that always has it's doors open for orphaned Meta-children. The Philosophers are comprised of humans, and Metahumans alike - working in harmony. The Philosophers are rather large organization that is split into two halves: their research development team, and their field agents. The Philosophers are science first, combat second. The Philosophers work out of many expensive mansions... which raises the question of just who is running them.
James Marquis - The brilliant man who started the whole organization, James Marquis is an immortal Metahuman who is shrouded in mystery. He prefers to keep people at arms length to maintain a professional aura (And to keep his past a secret). James is suspected to have played a big part in the Metahuman world, as he knows much about Luis, and the Hands of Science. Over the years, he managed to amass such a wealth that he's able to fund the Philosophers. However, James takes the public appearance of a rich playboy who inherited a great deal of cash. Right now, James prefers to sit on the sidelines and order the Philosophers around from the sidelines. James knows something that no one else does - and he'll die before it gets out.

| The Order |

Declared one of the most dangerous cults in America, the Order is a cult that worships Metahumans. It's an idea that was developed after the Verthaven and a metahuman that could end the world was compared to a God. Eventually, some people began to believe that all Metahumans were Gods in human form. It started to gain status within the underground, and eventually more and more deranged. There are Metahumans within their ranks that are treated as such, Gods. They are given free reign to do whatever they please as the Order utterly worships them. However, they are indoctrinated by the concept of their Godhood as well, honestly believing themselves to be Gods, and are doing what is holy - producing more Gods. The Order is dangerous as they have committed many acts of terrorism, murder, rape, and kidnapping. Inside the cult itself, there's much sexual abuse going on, as it is considered an "honor" to have sex with a Metahuman (Getting impregnated is an even greater honor). It is even suspected that incest is practiced for the sake of creating more Metahumans. Needless to say, this group is high on DOVE's watchlist as they are attempting to liberate Metahumans from the Order.
Neron Corana - The man who formed the order, his true name is Berlioz Auxiere. An elderly french man that was a former member of the Hands of Science, one of their top scientists. Truly a brilliant man that would have done the world much good if he wasn't shafted into that organization. However, he held a dark secret that held back his brilliance. He was a Metahuman who was mentally connected to a dimension full of horrible eldritch abominations that began to corrupt his mind. He fought for it, but over time his sanity began to degrade. With the Verthaven disaster - in which he was there to see first hand - he gained the idea that Metahumans were Gods (Though, that was more of his mind beginning to degrade than anything). So, he sits at the head of the Order, and acts in the interest of worshiping these beings. Neron is very mysterious, and usually walks around wearing a robe, and using a cane to walk. Like it's been stated before, Neron is connected to an alternate dimension full of monsters. Using this connection, he can summon a green fog in which he can summon monsters out of it to fight for him. He can also use this fog to teleport from place to place.

| Intelligent System Designs (The ISD) |

There are many questions about Metahumans. What are they? Where did they get their powers from? What can we learn from them? The ISD are the people seeking to answer them. The head organization for Meta-human research and development, the ISD is an organization dedicated to continued research on the new Metahuman phenomenon at the request of NEST. In the many facilities across the US and Canada, The ISD have discovered everything known about Metahumans. The Metahuman energy and how it works, the Black Fall Effect, Ashing, and more. They have done this through a network of volunteer Meta-humans. They work very closely with NEST and the Saviors, however they choose to remain neutral on the Pro/Anti-Metahuman scale. Their objective is to learn about Metahumans and what can be done with the Metahuman energy. Any Metahuman can volunteer for some humane experiments, tests, and whatnot. After the Verthaven disaster, DOVE and the ISD have become very close.
Tabitha Crest - The CEO of the ISD who inherited the organization from her father Berith Crest, she is a brilliant scientist taught by the best. She's declared the lead in Metahuman research as she's the one who researched Ashing, and the Black Fall effect, discovering how they work and giving them names. Tabitha participates in science and research as much as she runs the organization - she's known as quite the busy bee. Tabitha tries to understand what makes a Metahuman, a Metahuman, and what she can do with the energy. Tabitha is a tall woman with German descents, she's known for her distinct head of black curly hair. Tabitha makes a note to make plenty of public appearances, and do her best to stay on the good side of Metahumans by doing acts of charity (Donating money to other charities, taking in homeless Metahumans, etc). However, very few people personally know her, and she's a mystery.

| The Savior Foundation |

Often called "Saviors." The lead Anti-Metahuman organization, and the antithesis to many Pro-Metahuman organizations. They believe that Metahumans as a whole are far too dangerous, and must be removed if humanity is to survive. The Saviors were formed by the big pharmaceutical CEO Nolan Ulrich, as a means to assist humans afflicted by Meta-human related incidents. The Saviors also invest in research towards a way to remove powers, and have pushed for NEST to remove rights from Metahumans. Naturally, the saviors are despised by a large number of Metahumans. However, they are not known for overt or violent acts against Meta-humans. They work towards their goals peacefully. Their objective is to help people. Whether they've been the victim of a Metahuman related incident, or afflicted with a detrimental superpower. Their secondary goal is to find a way to "cure". Though, it is reported that a large number of the Saviors are extremely Metaphobic. It's also believed that the Saviors secretly fund the Meta hate group, the Pure. After the Verthaven disaster... the Saviors received a huge boom in funding, and were capable of even expanding to other nations. They're one of the groups that have had a heavy hand in NEST's disbandment, and eventual reform. Their propaganda are seem all over American soil (TVs, sign, etc), and they seemingly are reaching the world they've always wanted to reach. However, with the rise of DOVE giving Metahumans even more freedom, they are clashing with DOVE and the government for their carelessness. lately, the Savior Foundation have been under heavy scrutiny as it was revealed they indeed have a connection with the Pure terrorist group (One of their members was a high ranking Pure, in fact).
Nolan Ulrich - Called the "Bigot Supreme," Nolan Ulrich is the head of the Savior Foundation. He was once the son of a very, very, rich and influential CEO who gave him all the money he needed to succeed in life, and then more. He used that money to become a playboy. However, that mindset changed when his parents were brutally killed by Metahuman criminals after their money. Afterwards, he analyzed the situation, and declared that Metahumans were a threat, that needed to be heavily regulated. He used the money that he inherited from his dead family to form the Savior foundation - an organization with the goal of helping the baseline humans, and regulating Metahumans. Throughout the years, Nolan's hatred of Metahumans had grown more and more, to the point where he constantly makes public appearances bashing Metahumans on live television. Calling them less than human, and nothing more than a threat. Nolan has the hatred of Metahumans, and the admiration of those who support him as being the man who will save the world.
| The Liu Pharmaceutical Company |

A subsidiary of the Savior Foundation, the Liu Pharmaceutical Company is an organization that works under the greater Savior Foundation. Ran by a genius Chinese Immigrant named Jiao-Long Liu, the Liu Pharmaceutical Company's specialty is the Metahuman energy, and how it can be applied in beneficial ways. They managed to produce several treatments for people. Surprisingly, despite being apart of the Saviors, they are not particularly against Metahumans. What makes that fact even more surprising is that they are the first company to successfully devise a way to remove the powers (Or more accurately, lock them away) of Metahumans. Which has caused a huge uproar in the Metahuman community, but the procedure is very expensive, and difficult.
Liu Jiao-Long - A Chinese immigrant that had a natural genius that shot him through school all the way to Harvard, Jiao-Long is a man who researched the Metahuman energy, and whatnot, and learned how to manipulate it. Along with knowledge on how to create a wide variety of other drugs. He started out apart of the ISD, up until he decided to take his knowledge over to the Savior Foundation, and forged the Liu Pharmaceutical Company from there. Jiao-Long is considered to be a genius in the field, as he's the man who would eventually create the "cure" for Metahumans. However, despite working for the Saviors, and creating the procedure, he has no hatred for Metahumans. He has four daughters, two nieces, and a sister, who are all Metahuman, and he can't hate them for genetics. Jiao-Long is known for his endless kindness... and he's the devil's advocate for the Savior's racist agenda. Jiao-Long believes that the Saviors should focus less on their hatred of Metahumans, and turn their efforts to helping those who's lives have been ruined by them. Jiao-Long has the ire of other Saviors because of his Metahuman daughters, and how he employs them.
Zoe Hardley - Jiao-Long's bodyguard. She suspiciously appeared seven years ago after the Verthaven disaster, and follows Jiao-Long around where ever he goes. Zoe is a teleporting Metahuman that can clear great distances. With her ability, she has saved Jiao-Long and his family from assassination several times over.

| The Pure |

An extremist group, the Pure are dedicated to the complete annihilation of all Metahumans from the United States. The Pure are comprised of people from various backgrounds. Former-Soldiers, Police Officers, and regular people, all with the goal of killing Metahumans. After the Verthaven Disaster... the Pure movement has reached exponential levels as people are literally lining up to kill Metahumans. They have been killing Metahumans left and right - and incredibly brutally. Along with causing incredible amounts of damage, the Pure are behind the deaths of thousands of Metahumans. Which made the Pure one of the premiere terrorist groups. They often plan hits on the request of concerned civilians, and they carry them out with brutality. They usually plan traps, or surprise attacks. It doesn't matter if the Metahuman is a threat or not, they'll kill anyone with a superpower. Man, woman, or child, criminal or innocent, it never matters to them. The Pure have been going to war with their antithesis, the Allegiance.
Knights of Purity - Twelve of the most ruthless, skilled, and fearsome Metahuman hunters. The Knights of Purity are an elite group of the Pure responsible for killing hundreds of Metahumans, and showed a startling amount of pragmatism, and stealth. Which made them a very feared name in the Metahuman world. Each member of the Knights are mysterious - no one knows who they are, what ethnicity they are, what gender they are... and so fourth. It's unknown who leads them, but it's believed to be whoever the hell is funding them.

| The Metahuman International Party (MIP) |

Translated as theMetamensch internationale Party in German, and Méta humain parti International in French. With the death of nearly a million people in the Verthaven Disaster, the opinion of Metahumans has reached an all-time low. With the rise of the Allegiance and similar organizations in other countries, and the sheer hatred against Metahumans, there was death and destruction everywhere. Until a woman known as Nina Amstrutz, a Swiss Politician had her Metahuman son murdered in cold blood, and decided that it was time for a change. She formed the Metahuman International Party, a group advocating for peace between Metahumans and Humans, through teaching, and impersonal connections. Through time, the group became big in Europe, and managed to spread globally (They have a huge following in North-America). The group is the first that criticizes bad treatment of Metahumans by the governments of the world, and also assists humans and Metahumans alike. Until the group has managed to gain a following of Metahumans and Humans alike with the same goal. The MIP is not particularly liked by the many Metahuman Regulation Agencies of the world because, despite the Geneva convention being against it, they criticize them for basically employing Metahuman soldiers as weapons.
Nina Amstutz - The head of the party. Nina is a woman with German roots, and had blonde-hair and blue eyes. She's fairly short, and keeps her hair in a bobcut, keeping it short and proper at all times. Nina is a world renown face because she fights for the rights of Metahumans, and attempts to heal wounds despite being a baseline human being. She is very charismatic, and is able to sway people to the side of peace. While openly criticizing governments. She lives in Switzerland, but travels the world where her word is needed. Nina often visits North America, and Britain (Where she is the biggest advocate for change in the MISW).

| Civilian Intelligence and Delivery (CID) |
By @Estylwen

Being unaffiliated with any one government or organization, CID enjoys the freedom of working on contracts with whomever needs their services, both in the US and across the border. They specialize in secrets, blackmail, and decryption. Their most popular service is the transport of secrets, as the more illicit of things are moving off fiber optic cables. Although CID tries to focus their attention on helping regular people, most can’t afford the ludicrous prices. The company’s HQ is hidden in Rosemaple Lake, Roseview and has access to many safe houses around the city. 

CID is by no means a big company with roughly 25 employees, all metahuman. Their task force is split into three divisions: the spies, security, and the couriers. The spies account for 20% of the taskforce, but bring in a large portion of the income. The small security division stays strictly at HQ, save for an occasional bodyguard job. Couriers and spies are pocketed throughout the US with only a handful actually in Baybridge. The couriers and spies are told not associate with one another, and to strictly use code names.

Hallmark (Daxton Locke) — The professional, enigmatic CEO of the company. He’s always found dressed in a suit and tie, with his black hair styled back and the finest jewellery on his hands. He’s a strange CEO in the fact he’s also the company’s dispatcher, and coordinates with Miss Admin on agents and their jobs. He has a personal connection with all his agents and knows them quite well. Many suppose this is his way of sniffing out moles in the company. Although Hallmark treats his employees professionally, he does overstep his bounds when information is withheld or someone tries to lie to him. It should be noted that Hallmark is also the only baseline human in the entire company (besides the tech group).
Miss Admin (Brogan Huntley) — the secretary and public face of CID, and right-hand of Hallmark. She’s a tall lady with maroon glasses framing her face and long auburn hair tied in a bun, a single bang curling to the side. Miss Admin has a strong ‘no-nonsense’ attitude and is incredibly organized. She works in the background of CID, keeping the machine running smoothly. Under her is a small team of baseline employees who run all the tech jobs that CID brings in. She doesn’t typically associate with agents unless they're in trouble with the boss. Her meta-ability is basic, but very useful in their work. She can tell, through emotion, whether someone is lying or not.

| Defunct Organizations |

| NEST |

The former lead in Metahuman regulation, NEST was North America's premiere government agency tasked with dealing with hostile Metahumans, and managing them. They were introduced shortly after Metahumans were revealed to the world, and for decades they battled hostile Metahumans with extreme efficiency. They were consisted of heavily trained humans, and Metahumans that were introduced into their ranks. They were a heavily armed force to be feared. A med to the teeth with the best weaponry and tools the Government could offer, NEST was known for employing power suppressant collars. They had teams and HQs set up in every major city in the United States as well as offices in Canada - there had even been talks to expand NEST to the major South and Central American countries as part of a Joint Coalition with the US. The NEST teams are well enough connected that should a significant enough threat show up; forces from other teams will be allocated. NEST as a whole does not discriminate against Meta-humans, there has been some incidents of bias agents, but their goal is also to maintain a balance between the two kinds of human being. NEST was ran by a grand council called "High Command," which consisted of several extremely high ranking members that made supreme decisions over NEST. However, after the Verthaven disaster, NEST ruined their reputation, and it has been decided that NEST had too much power, and were disbanded, and replaced with another organization (Later deemed RAVEN/DOVE). Since then, NEST's actions have caused problems to this very day.
The High Command Council - The original head of the NEST organization, the eight people who sat at the very top of the agency. They made all executive decisions that affected the entire agency, and they were only contacted when shit got real. However, the High Command Council were the people who decided to condemn several thousand people to death during the Verthaven disaster. Afterwards, the entire Council was arrested for their actions, tried, and imprisoned. Their actions lead to the destruction of NEST.
Adam Blackmore - Deceased. The legendary NEST agent, Adam Blackmore is regarded by many as one of the greatest NEST Agents there ever was. Because, in his hayday (Around the eighties), he got results like no other, every metahuman related crisis he was apart of? Handled with minimum causalities. Which allowed him to rise through the ranks incredibly quickly. Adam had a great deal of influence in and out of NEST - because he trained many of the top agents, and acted as a mentor to many young Metahumans (To keep them from becoming threats down the line). He was the first to say that the NEST system was broken, and needed a reform, but few listened. Adam served as the legendary NEST Agent for around for twenty-two years, in which he was in his forties and chose to retire. For ten years after that, Adam served as a teacher for Academy 218, the best teacher they had. Up until the Hands of Science was revealed, that is. He returned to NEST to fight the threat, and served alongside Maximilian Cornell in Task Force RAVEN. He fought in the Verthaven disaster, but unfortunately fallen to the Changeling Unit. Adam was one of the many legendary Blackmores, a family of power replicators, in which he inherited their abilities (He got the best ability, in fact). He had the ability to copy powers by observing them in action, and the more he studied them, the stronger the copy would get. Adam had five children to carry on the Blackmore name after his passing.
Sonya Mayfield - Deceased. The greatest sniper in NEST, and all around good person. Sonya was a British woman that manifested her powers (Amphibian physiology) and was sent to Academy 218 and promptly abandoned there. From there, she met friends (Including her future wife, Maria Costello). She came to Mendel, joined the Vanguard, and was arrested when the gang war broke out. Sonya was offered a spot within NEST for a reduced jail sentence, which she gladly accepted. Sonya became one of the best NEST snipers, and fell passionately in love with her job. She went all over, and did her best to help people (Giving them the guidance they needed) - though she did her best to stay out of NEST politics and do her own thing. Sonya was assigned to Verthaven, and participated in the war against the Hands of Science, and eventually the Verthaven Disaster. Unfortunately, she didn't make it out alive, being killed by the Changeling Heartbreaker.

| The Hands of Science |

Revealed to the world after spending decades in the shadows, they've been called a more extreme version of the ISD. The Hands of Science are known for preforming experiments on Metahumans. Except, they have no concept of ethics or humanity. They kidnap Metahumans and forcibly preform experiments on them (Before killing or releasing them). Or they distribute devices, or serums, that fiddle with powers in some way. All done by an extensive group of scientists. They have a large team of Agents that preform the field operations. People that distribute strange the aforementioned serums and devices. Often lying and tricking Metahumans into using them. What their goals are is ambiguous - but their scientific prowess is incredible. They've managed to create thousands of serums that can give people superpowers, along with creating a serum that can temporarily imbue a person with superpowers. Along with thousands of other scientific advancements that could change the world if it got out. The Hands are ran by an regional system; the Hands are broken down into several branches for each part of North America (Northwest, Southwest, West Canada, Mexico, etc) and each are ran by an executive who oversees operations in the area. Despite their willingness to experiment on Metahumans, they're more than content with working with them, and introducing them into their ranks. There is no anti-Metahuman bias within their ranks. The Hands of Science are believed to be responsible for plenty of Metahuman related incidents. 

Once they were revealed to the world, NEST declared all out war on them, and they displayed their scientiffic prowess. They put up a fight, but after the Verthaven disaster (and their hand in it), the Executives jumped ship, took what was valuable out of the organization, and merely left the rest to rot. The Hands were hunted down by the government, and what was left of them was destroyed, and their research seized. Despite their destruction, they have left one hell of a mark in the world. However there are still pockets of the Hands of Science out there - and former scientists that worked for them merely joined new organizations to put their knowledge to "good use."
Dr. Cross - The head of the Southwest branch of the Hands of Science, Dr. Cross was seemingly one of the top members of the Hands of Science that started out as a broke college graduate that was inducted into the organization. With training from the best, Dr.Cross rose to the spot of Hands Executive. Dr. Cross is a woman in her mid-forties with an eyepatch over her left eye. She has ultimate power within her branch, and has the ability to induce changes in any project. Dr. Cross is cold, mysterious, and determined. She believed that the research conducting will benefit mankind. Which is why she feels that it's necessary to stain the organization's hands with the blood of innocent people. Dr. Cross is a aged woman, that stands at average height, with neat-slicked back, black hair. Her eyes are brown, and it's believed that she has mixed ancestry in her genes. She usually wears a lab-coat with a stylish suit underneath it. However, after the Verthaven disaster, she went into hiding along with the other Hands Executives - until she resurfaced in Baybridge after playing along with the Mannequin's plan. Was ultimately arrested.
Eliza Dubois - One of the Hands Executives. She runs the South-Eastern branch of the Hands of Science, and is a scientific genius herself. She is responsible for the major breakthrough that is the serum that grant can a person powers. And because of that, she's regarded as the Hands of Science's best. She is a tall, slender, African-American woman (That is heavily Egyptian and Sudan), with some French genes in there. that has an aura of grace around her. She wears suits, and walks like a queen. She is usually accompanied by her two body guards that are Metahumans with Super Strength and Durability. Eliza herself has the ability to passively absorb sunlight, and expel it in several forms. Beams, orbs, etc. It's very hot. And you'll get a nasty sunburn. She can also teleport within direct sunlight to another point that is also under the sun. Eliza went into hiding along with the other Hands Executives.
Nathaniel Thorne - Head of the western Canadian Branch of the Hands of Science, Nathaniel was brought to Verthaven to attend the grand Hands of Science meeting. Nathaniel is known for pushing into research as to where Metahumans came from. He is an older male, with far prematurely grey hair. He has pronounced European looks, and has the look of a boss. A leader. An evil villain. He tends to wear suits, and smoke cigars. He has no powers. Nataniel went into hiding after the Verthaven disaster.
Suan-Ni - Easily the most mysterious out of the Hands Executives. He keeps himself a secret from the Hands that he works under as much as possible, because he fears getting outed (He doesn't trust the chairmen that much either). It's hard to make out his features (but he's very tall, at least 6'5) underneath the form obscuring suit, black mask with a snake symbol on it, and gloves. He's stated to be a very brilliant mind, and one of the best in the organization. Whoever he is, it's suspected that he has a lot to lose from being outed. However, he went into hiding as well - after swearing off the organization for good.
Stephanie Hayvok - The wheelchair bound assistant to Dr. Cross. Stephanie, while she seems like the secretary, is actually the number two of the Dr. Cross' Branch. She has secondary power to Dr. Cross. Stephanie is a mousy woman that has sharp facial features, and a head of curly brown hair that goes down to her shoulders. She usually wears a lab coat with a sweater underneath it. Stephanie is quite knowledgeable about technology, and is the lead in the Hand's attempts of using Metahuman abilities to create new pieces of technology. She joined Dr. Cross in hiding.

| REAPER |

The Hands of Science's personal private army. Their own antithesis to NEST that has been in the shadows up until their revelation to the world. REAPER handles Metahuman kidnapping, elimination, and security of various Hands of Science facilities. Not as well armed or manned as NEST, REAPER makes up for it by having access to experimental weaponry. REAPERs were armed with a perfected version of a Mutagen that gave them reduced versions of superpowers without being a Metahuman. REAPER was lead by four generals that abandoned the organization along with the Hands Executives. REAPER, too, was disbanded. But many REAPERs are still out there.
Ignatius - Head of REAPER, Ignatius is a man that hides brutality and ruthlessness under a carefree, and casual attitude. He leads the REAPER organization, and only answers to the Hands of Science's chairmen (In this case, he mainly answers to Dr. Cross). He's a tall, wirey, man with a well built frame, and broad shoulders. He has a hair of black hair that is incredibly spiky. Ignatius, most notably, has scars around his neck that appear as if his head was lopped off, and put back on at some point. Ignatius omits the REAPER standard armor, and instead wears a different battle dress, with a long black, padded, overcoat thrown on it. Ignatius displayed the ability to use telekinesis, and creating constructs out of telekinetic energy. Ignatius is in hiding with the Hands. However, it's hinted he knows a lot more than he lets on. Was arrested alongside Dr. Cross.
Revenant - One of the crown REAPERS. One of the most important members that is responsible for fast transportation of REAPERS. Revenant is a female hidden underneath an outfit fit for the REAPER faction. She's very tall, and has a short head of black hair. Her build is very thin and lithe, but well-built. However, it'd be impossible to tell underneath the long black cloak that she wears. It flows all the way to the ground, and mostly covers up the standard REAPER Armor that she wears underneath it. However, underneath it, she wears a white porcelain mask with black soot on the sides like it has been burned. Revenant is so valuable to the Hands because she a teleporter on a wide scale. She's capable of easily teleporting to any location in Verthaven, and back. Carrying any amount of people with her. However, she too suffers from the same limits that plague Metahumans known as fatigue. She can only large-scale teleport twice. Revenant abandoned REAPER to go along with Suan-Ni.
Snowblind - A Russian Metahuman that escaped capture and was sent to America to work for REAPER, and became one of the four generals. She is an average heighted woman, that sports bright blonde hair, and blue eyes. She has clear skin. She outs out of the REAPER armor, and instead wears a white labcoat, and a white suit, with rings. She is incredibly ruthless, willing to cut down a million men for the Hands. Snowblind has an advanced form of ice-manipulation. She can snapfreeze objects on touch, create and move large amounts of ice. Along with some odd abilities such as the ability to transform into ice, teleport, and turn intangible (Freezing any objects on touch). Snowblind is in hiding.
Wendigo - Deceased. The Wendigo was Ignatius's right hand, and again, had secondary control over REAPER. He generally answers to Dr. Cross. Wendigo was a massive beast of a man that had a very wide and stocky frame, with thick, powerful limbs, and large hands. Wendigo's features were obscured by the metal, Roman-style, Lion mask that he wore over his head, and the REAPER armor he wears. What little can be seen of his body appears... rotted. The Wendigo was a Native American who was shunned by his tribe once his powers developed. After the Changeling Unit paid the tribe a visit, he slaughtered them alongside the Changelings, and worked for them for awhile. Until he was tempted by Ignatius to join REAPER. However, he was killed by Maximilian Cornell when he was deceived into ashing. The Wendigo had the power to gain strength from eating human flesh, until he was immensely fast, durable, and strong. Even before he started eating flesh, he was very strong.

| The Changeling Unit |

Called humanity's worst; the Changeling Unit are the most infamous group of Metahumans ever. They are comprised of Metahumans who are psychopaths, as the Changeling's leader specifically recruited them. Serial killers, monsters, rapists, and whoever wanted to watch the world burn, were given a spot in the Changeling Unit. Because of this, they were considered a "Metahuman Dirty Dozen," the strangest group of Metahumans, but they got the job done. The Changeling Unit were many things; mercenaries, assassins, child abductors. Dangerous being the best word to describe them. Their leader ensured they were "Changeling material" by subjecting them to a series of tests where they abandon what's left of their humanity. They did work for whoever paid them the most... whenever they weren't pursuing their own goals. Their main employer was the Hands of Science - the organization they had the closest ties to. The Changeling Unit were known for two things; their wanton sadism, and the kidnapping of orphans. Concerning the former, the Changeling Unit went on rampages out of the delight of their leader. Concerning the latter, the Changeling Unit were infamous for kidnapping the children of Metahumans, and selling them to the highest bidder. For years (Possibly decades) the Changeling Unit were in the shadow of the world. No one knew about them, but they felt their actions - Metahuman infants were taken in the night, with no one knowing what happened. Which brings into question just what else they were responsible for. However, once the Hands of Science were revealed to the world, so were they. They've made themselves infamous for their heinous actions in Verthaven - however, that was the location where they were finally eliminated. Despite their destruction, the Changeling Unit's actions have left marks that will be felt to this day....
Luis "Bloodsucker" - Deceased. Humanity's greatest monster. Luis is the leader of the Changeling Unit, the man who formed the organization after realizing his true dream. Luis is truly the most inhuman monster ever to walk. His sadism, brutality, ruthlessness, and cruelty have never met any bounds as he practically rampaged in order to complete his goals. Luis specialized in leaving emotional marks on people, and spreading fear. He knew exactly where to hit to leave people reeling. Despite his sadism, Luis was known to be incredibly intelligent, cunning, and pragmatic - which surprises his enemies. When mixed with his sadism, there isn't anything Luis won't do. Luis was revealed to be an immortal Metahuman that was one of the first handful to appear, thus he had knowledge that no one else had. His main goal was Godhood, using a Metahuman who can end the world to propel him to that zenith point. Once the Changelings were revealed to the world, Luis made his sadism known by tearing through Toronto looking for a special Metahuman. However, once Heartbreaker was captured by NEST, he came straight to Verthaven. He played a major part in the Verthaven disaster by impeding NEST at every angle, and carving his way through them - making himself the nemesis of the city. Luis' Changelings were eventually taken out one by one (with what left abandoning him), until he launched one final suicide attack that ended with his death. However, he left all of his knowledge in a diary that has to be decoded... which a certain person is in possession of. Luis was a powerful Metahuman who had the best regeneration out of all the Metahumans - no matter what happened to him, he got back up. He also has immense strength, speed, and durability. Worst of all, he could increase his abilities by absorbing blood through his skin. Two centuries of experience mixed with his abilities made Luis quite the threat.
Natalie "Heartbreaker" - Deceased. A strange Metahuman woman with icy-blue skin that was the number two in the Changeling Unit. She was less sadistic and outright violent than Luis - but she was no less depraved than him. Many lives have been ended by her revolvers. Heartbreaker was a gunslinger Metahuman, who had enhanced aim, vision, reflexes, body control, and agility, that made her godlike with a pair of revolvers. While Heartbreaker was the number two, her specialty was sniping, and long distanced assassinations. Heartbreaker was the the first of the Changelings to appear in Verthaven, serving under the Hands of Science for a hunk of cash. Causing atrocities on the side was her business. She was the one to orchestrated the death of the Fiend leader Khan, but also outed herself to NEST in the process. Afterwards, she brought half the Changeling Unit to Verthaven to keep an eye on the place. They were found out, and eliminated by NEST, which ended with her escaping due to the Hands intervention. She also appeared in the Hands of Science base, where she was captured by Task Force RAVEN. Which drew Luis and his Changelings to Verthaven to liberate her. For most of the Verthaven disaster, she sat on her ass in a cell until Luis busted her out. From there, she played a role in the battles against NEST and the Devil of Verthaven. She was killed during the same battle which saw the elimination of the rest of the Changeling Unit.
The Mannequin - The "third" in command of the Changeling Unit, a metahuman who had turned himself into a cybernetic machine using his genius, and supernatural affinity to technology. He was known as a towering mass of ceramic and wires, that was far from human as it got. He served as a scientist, inventor, and assassin within the Changeling Unit, mostly taking a background role to Luis and Heartbreaker. He followed Heartbreaker to Verthaven, and escaped NEST twice through sheer cunning and genius. Before Luis showed up in Verthaven, and the Mannequin assisted Luis by creating bombs, and other devices to use against the Changeling's enemies. The Mannequin escaped the destruction of the Changeling Unit during the Verthaven Disaster, and faked his death so no one would come after after. Currently, the Mannequin is the only surviving member of the Changeling Unit, and is currently in hiding. He was believed to be Luis' eternal servant as he knew Luis from back when he was human - but was actually using Luis to further his own goals. Easily the most cunning and intelligent member of the Changeling Unit - he managed to further his own agendas by remaining in the background, appearing as nothing but an assistant. A genius in every sense of the word. Was arrested following his plan.

| The Tyrants |

They were formerly the most successful group of supervillains, that practically owned Stadium City. The Tyrants were a large group of Meta-humans that were responsible for countless crimes. Bank robberies, large heists and many more. They were infamous because of how well they covered their tracks and hit hard. They were known for their code of honor, never hurt innocent people, and chose their fights carefully. Which is how they lasted so long. Unlike other criminal fools, they didn't make enemies, so the need to hunt them down was low. However, when they did fight, they were known for their savagery... and ability to make quick and hasty get aways. What they are the most known for is how they took over Stadium City's crimeworld. Over the course of a few years, the Tyrants systematically destroyed every gang and other organized crime organization, and absorbed them into the Tyrants. Building up a massive army of gang members, and using them to destroy the larger organizations (Or run them out of Stadium City). Until they completely controlled the city's crimeworld, by eliminating the competition. They basically reduced crime to a minimum just by being around. NEST launched a massive operation against them, but it didn't see any real progress. NEST got what they wanted after the Verthaven disaster, in which the Tyrants disbanded, and it's leaders went into hiding. Afterwards, Stadium City fell apart as new gangs showed up in Stadium City and wreaked havoc.
Queen Carmelita - The stylish leader of the Tyrants, Queen Carmelita was a Spanish woman who managed to form a very intelligent gang of super-criminals. She used her cunning and intelligence to create the Tyrants, and eventually tear the criminal underworld of Stadium City apart, and then reform it in her image. Holding an iron grip over crime in that city for decades. Queen Carmelita eventually disbanded the Tyrants after the Verthaven disaster after realizing all her enemies were pushing down on her. She went into hiding - but her name will be remembered as a true Tyrant. Queen Carmelita was a very powerful Metahuman who came blow to blow with the likes of Adam Blackmore, and Maximilian Cornell, by having a very powerful tactile telekinetic ability. She could punch a building in half, and survive multiple blows from super strong Metahumans. 
Blizzard - The number two to Carmelita, it was believed that they were sisters due to their close bond, and how she lead the organization as well. Blizzard was not as cunning, intelligent, or ruthless, as Queen Carmelita, but she also had much going for her in the strength area. She was as feared as Queen Carmelita, and like her, she went into hiding alongside her. Blizzard has similar telekinetic abilities to Carmelita, as she can produce a telekinetic field around herself that allowed her to manipulate objects.
Barracuda - A woman in her sixties that was the mentor to Carmelita, and Blizzard. She raised the two when they were little girls in the art of crime - and it paid off when the three of them took over Stadium City and each had their own piece of the pie. Barracuda was a pretty big Meta-criminal back in her hayday, and clashed with Adam and the other NEST Agents back in the day. She was a deadly threat with her ability to extend blades with energy, and cut through anything with ease. She served as a major enforcer within the Tyrants and reaped the rewards of her pupil's work. Up until she convinced the others to disband the Tyrants. Now, Barracuda works for the White Spider Society.

| The Black Dragon Special Ops Division |

Hei Long Te Shu Bu Dui - or Hei Long - was formed in the late 1970's, China's first Metahuman "regulation" organization. Except, it was less about regulation, and more about special operations. It was China's very first unit comprised of nothing but Metahumans, and it was a secret group. These metahumans were people taken off the street, and forced to endure their hellish training (Some of which were children). Whoever rejected the Hei Long were hunted down, and killed. They were responsible for countless acts that would turn the world against China. Espionage, assassination, war crimes, they did whatever it took to keep China great. This organization was heavily mandated by the Chinese government, and didn't even breath without the government knowing about it. They were incredibly effective, under the most ruthlessly efficient leader out there. However, that leader betrayed them, and killed a great number of their members in the process. Afterwards, the Hei Long were going to be rebuilt, but with the rise of Metahumans, and it's getting conspicuously harder to keep the Hei Long hidden, it was decided that the organization would be replaced with the People's Metahuman Armed Police Force.
Liu Qiaolian - Qiaolian Liu was a major member of the Hei Long - she was another Metahuman with earth powers who was "conscripted" into the Hei Long. After proving herself to be one of their most dedicated soldiers, the Hei Long promoted her to the leader of the group. In which China was lorded over by her, and her Hei Long. Up until they gave her reason to betray them, and she wiped them all out. Afterwards, she went to America, changed her name, and went into hiding. Her ability was a powerful stone manipulation in which she could manipulate all man-made stone.

| Eco-Naturá  |

A "greater" good kind of organization that wishes to save the world by reclaiming it in the name of nature. Eco-Naturá is a eco-terrorist group that aims to returning the world to the state in which it once was. They're behind several acts of eco-terrorism across the United States, and Europe, targeting factories, power plants, and anything that'd harm nature. However, they have been armed with technology created by former members of the Hands of Science. Bombs and whatnot imbued with Metahuman energy. "Nature Bombs," as they call it. Once these explosives go off, they blanket the area with plant-life that rapidly grows out of control. They also employ Metahumans with nature related abilities (Plant manipulation being the top one) that can assist them in their abilities. They are willing to wipe out entire cities in the name of nature regardless of the causalities they cause. Along with being armed with Hands of Science tech, they are incredibly dangerous. They are being targeted by both RAVEN, and the MISW. However, after the death of Old Man Winter, they have disbanded.
Old Man Winter - The leader of Eco-Naturá. He's an ambiguity, but he formed the terrorist organization after witnessing the destruction first hand at Verthaven - and barely coming out with his life. He came to the conclusion that nature was truly a force to be reckoned with, and was angry. Thus, why he formed Eco-Naturá for the sole purpose of reclaiming cities in the name of nature so the Verthaven disaster never happens anywhere else. Old Man Winter is enigmatic, few people have seen his face, but he tends to wear a black outfit with a wide brimmed cowboy hat. Never revealing his name or face to anyone. True to his name, Old Man Winter has advanced cyrokinetic abilities. He can carpet an area with ice... interesting enough, he also has the ability to create golems out of ice, and also give his followers weaker versions of his ice powers temporarily. Killed in Baybridge.

|| The Setting: The Academy Program ||

The Academy Program is a world-wide organization that works in conjunction with the many governments of the world in order to produce safe learning environments for young Metahumans to use their powers. They are a global organization that caters to this specific goal. There are 32 Academies based in North America. Each Academy is jam packed with the best technology and learning environments a person can have. 

The students are the purpose of the Academy, for they are trained in how to use their powers in accordance to their nation's standards. The students are given real skills so they can possibly survive out in the world. The main thing the students are put through are trials,  some of which are tackled in groups whilst others are faced alone. Students are scored based on how well they perform in these trials and those who score higher have a tendency to graduate at a faster rate. The Academy excepts a wide variation of student age groups, with ten years being the minimum age whilst the oldest tend to be found in their early twenties, all coming from a variety of different backgrounds .. There are three types of students. "Fresh" students are the boys and girls that are fresh to the Academy. "Returning" students are those who have attended the Academy before, and didn't meet the criteria to get their Certificate. "Full" students are the people who choose to live on the Academy full time, either to get an education there, or because they don't have a stable home to head back to. That's one thing that the Academy Program is known for - they house Metahumans who are wards of the state, where foster parents are incapable of taking them in.

The Academies are usually staffed by Metahumans (as that's the best way to teach someone how to use their powers), but they are also staffed by regular people. Many of these empowered teachers are known as Instructors. The Instructors are Metahumans that teach the students how to use their powers in efficient, safe and practical manners. There's a large team of them, though nowhere near as many students. Each of them specializes in a different type of power. Whether it's Elemental training, or Shape-shifting and transformations. They do it all, and they can help their students. 

To say the Academy program was a massive success would be an understatement. Thousands of Metahumans attend the academies, and leave as graduates, fully prepared for society. The Academy Program has roots far back to the very start of Metahumans, as they sprung up some time after Metahumans were revealed to the world, started by one woman named Hannah Swam who pitched the idea to the US government. After the first "official" Academy, which is now known as Academy 3, was created, other academies were created across the US to provide training to young Metahumans. Following the success of the first Academy, the other thirty-two Academies were established. Despite this government support the Academy Program has become largely independent from the US government with minimal oversight beyond DOVE's involvement.

On that note, the US Academy Program works very closely with DOVE - as the latter group often sends Metahumans to Academies to socially and academically develop in a safe learning environment, and come back with knowledge of how to properly apply their powers. Many students who attend the Academies find employment with RAVEN or DOVE and because of the deal between the Academy Program and the US government, there's always a few members of DOVE on hand at each Academy, though RAVEN is also known to make a presence when necessary.

| Notable Academies |

| Academy 1 ("Camp ThinkerRock") |

Built shortly after World War II, Camp ThinkerRock is a Superhuman training facility that has been used for decades by the US Government. First as secret training grounds for training NEST Agents, as more 'official' locations were made, Camp ThinkerRock has seen less and less activity to the point where it was completely desolate save for the people "guarding" it. In fact, there had been talks about decommissioning the facility alltogether. Pushing towards the 1980's, however, the Academy Program gained prominence and through that the Camp was founded with a singular purpose: training younger Superhumans to effectively use their powers and become productive members of society. The location was purchased by the Academy Program (Because NEST didn't want it) and became Academy 01. The first Academy. The entire camp was re-purposed into a "summer-camp for Superhumans" where younger students would have the chance to train. The guise was simple, a super private summer camp in the middle of no where, the nearest town being miles away from the camp so that everyone had the anonymity to use their powers on a larger scale without it being reported. However, the camp didn't exactly get a large amount of campers due to lack of interest, and the fact that there were larger and better Academies didn't help matters. It didn't get more than a few people at a time, which is rather underwhelming to the staff. A few higher ups were able to strike a few deals with NEST to force some more kids into Camp ThinkerRock. Such as picking up juvenile delinquents, or giving runaways a home. This wasn't super desirable, but the staff plan on "working out the kinks" for these campers and turning them into responsible Metahumans. If they make a profit out of this, why does it even matter what they've done beforehand? They might actually learn a thing or two while in the camp such as putting their powers to practical uses and learning not to rely on them so much.
 
ThinkerRock's main campsite is a large area that features plenty of locations that are spaced out from each other. Connected via paths, the camp has buildings and places to fulfill all of the campers needs. The place is split into four sections. The Main Grounds for basic camper needs. The Recreation Area, to keep them entertained. The Training Grounds, for them to train with their powers and take their hero courses. And the Beach, where a few locations are. But the campsite isn't the entirety of ThinkerRock's facility. Naturally, the camp is located in the middle of a heavily wooded area. Forests are far as the eye can see. All of the facility ground's combined (The campground, the forest, and the buildings off campground), equates to 3500 acres (Roughly four square miles). Meaning that it's a massive location, and hard to easily leave. The perimeter of the entire facility grounds are surrounded by a large thirty-five foot brick concrete wall. These walls are to keep people out of the facility, along with keeping extra animals away. Surrounding the main campgrounds is a massive forest, that have animals of all types. These forests have paths through them, going to every notable location, but ending at the walls that keep the campers in. This forest has everything you'd see in an actual forest. Rivers, ponds, large rocks, and more. And evil monsters. Never forget the evil monsters. The camp is next to a large body of water known as the The Jay-Thompson Lake. This lake is enormous, almost making up a good 20% of those 3500 acres. Around this lake are the facility's many features. There is even military base, all on the shores of the Lake. These are all left behind from the Cold War days. However, there is a mysterious island in the center of the lake, one that holds a strange castle. When asked about this castle, the Counselors tell everyone to go no where near that place.

However, there is a small town; St. Portwell, several miles away from the Facility. With the fall of NEST, there are members of DOVE present at all times.

| Academy 218 |

Academy 218 is the premiere Academy for American Metahumans . Apart of the Academy Program which has been fully approved by the NEST Organization (Before DOVE took control), Academy 218 serves the purpose of serving trials and deeming young Superhumans capable of responsibly using their powers and functioning in society. This Academy is one of many, but 218 in particular is one of the most famous and respected ones out of all of them. As it's often compared to a resort, as it's built on an island not too far off the coast of Alaska. The island is usually blanketed by a thick sheet of snow because of it's location (And the date). Covered in a crystal white blanket of snow, which never seems to stop falling. The island has an extensive, diamond white forest, and frozen lakes which perfectly reflect the light of the moon, and incredible wildlife; our elegant rabbits, arctic foxes, and even the few reported polar bears living deep in it's wondrous forests are just a few examples of what to expect. It gives the Academy a very unique look (Because snow makes everything awesome) The only way in and out is by boat, and there's a schedule for it. The Island itself is a circular location, with plenty of natural landmarks such as rivers, hills, and there's even a mountain not too far away from the Academy. The island itself is covered in a massive black forest with a few landmarks. This forest is as far as the eye can see, and only stops at the beaches of the island. With the Academy standing in the very center of it, standing tall and proud over the woods. Academy 218 has the appearance of a high-tech, modern-day, castle. The building has a very open design that was created with concrete and glass, with metal supports. The entire Academy has paths that are lined with plant life of all sorts.

| Academy 101 |

Easily the most interesting Academy. Opposed to being a building in some location, the Academy is actually a purpose-built cruise ship that traverses the scene. It's almost like a resort, stacked with all sorts of fun. While the interior sections of it have the places you'd usually expect from the Academies (Dorms, training halls, etc), it's insanely durable, and well maintained, so it's unlikely to receive any serious damage. It was produced due to a deal between the Academy and a variety of both North and South American nations, and is sustained through the Academy's extensive funding (along with a number of select, private investors). This roaming Academy travels along the coastline of the entire American continent, often taking stops in other Academies (Mainly Academy 218).

||| The Setting: Baybridge |||

Location: Washington
Population: 522,920
Size: 110.11mi²
Crime: Medium

Source

Baybridge started out as several smaller towns in close proximity to each other in a seemingly isolated part of Washington state. Due to it's unique geography, it was quite difficult to get to the land. Sandwiched between a massive mountain, and a massive lake, seemingly the only way to get to the land was by crossing the lake, or going around the lake. After an explorer wanted to find out what was on the other side, he took a team with him, and then discovered a wide track of undisturbed fertile land. He moved in with a group of people, and built a settlement. This was the first of Baybridge's founding towns, Prince Ed-Field, as the settler (named Edward) tried to declare that this land belonged to him. However, that became difficult when other people started moving in to claim the new land. Forming the four other towns would eventually become Baybridge, Silver Hills towards the north (closer to the mountain), Hedgemount towards the east, Roseview towards the south, and White Coast to the west - which was built around the lake. 

As time passed, a bridge was built over the lake, and then the city began to see much more activity, and began to boom during the early 1900's after World War II. The five towns began developing into cities which grew and expanded over time until eventually they began to overlap a bit, making it incredibly difficult to set boundaries. However, in 1950, it was decided that the five towns would be unified into one city: which was named Baybridge - named after the bridge that caused the city to become a metropolis. Fast forward to central times, Baybridge is a massive metropolis in north-west Washington. Each of the former towns are their own part of the larger city - they can be called different sections of the city. They're somewhat spaced out from each other, being nothing more than a long walks away from each other. The best way to describe them now is "Districts," since they're different communities of the city with their own distinct characteristics. Each of the people in each of these former towns regards themselves as their own communities.

Baybridge is east of Seattle, though the city is much alike it (though some areas can also be compared to Spokane, or Bellingham). It's technically much larger than Seattle, but much of Baybridge's arces of land consist of miles and miles of woodland, farmlands, and etc. Not every inch of Baybridge consists of a sprawling concrete jungle. The five towns are where most of the population is. Baybridge isn't that much different from other major cities in the US. It has tall skyscrapers, booming businesses, and whatnot. The city has a little bit of everything. It's not particularly known for it's tourist attractions, nor it's large boom of tourists. However, Baybridge is known for it's rather diverse population. While Caucasians make up a large majority of the city's population, Baybridge is also known for its relatively large Asian community, which makes up the second largest ethnic group - leading to Asian stores being a common sight.  Filipinos have the highest population, followed by Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Japanese coming in dead last. African-Americans are the third main ethic group, followed by Latinos, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders. Because of this diversity, Baybridge is known for it's variety of different stories, and buildings. 

Recently, Baybridge received a boom in population as people moved towards it in the aftermath of the Verthaven disaster. Most notably, Baybridge was selected to be the headquarters of the newly formed RAVEN/DOVE branch of the government which drew their Agents, and Metahumans to the city. This increase in population gave Baybridge an economic boost, and more or less turned Baybridge into one of the many Metahuman hotspots.

Baybridge is also known for it's two unique geographical features. First, the massive lake known as Lake Fair Cove, which stands on the east of Baybridge. This lake is large enough to separate Baybridge from the outside world, necessitating a bridge to cross to it, or the roads that go around it. This lake isn't directly connected to any major rivers or oceans, so there's little traffic going through it, which makes it great for people to rent boats and go out on it to fish. However, many have found that it's surprisingly deep. The other main feature of Baybridge is the Ever Reaching Mountains. A very tall mountain range that forms a crescent around Baybridge. It's very difficult to get past the mountain - however there are a few resorts set up on it. Because of these features, the only way to get in and out of Baybridge realistically was by crossing the lake on a boat, or going on a long trek around the lake. Now, the Brave Water Bridge provides easy way in, along with the roads alongside Lake Fair Cove.

The weather in Baybridge is quite fair. It's not known to get hot, but it can get quite cold during the winter months. Baybridge is known to be a very rainy city. During the fall and winter months, Baybridge gets much rain - though it can be rainy in the summer. Baybridge also gets snow, at least eight inches during the winter.

|| Baybridge's Towns & Districts ||

| Prince Ed-Field |

Price Ed-Field was the very first of the towns that turned into Baybridge. It was constructed in the very center of Baybridge, and is easily the most expansive of the five cities. Prince Ed-Field is more or less the "face" of Baybridge, as it holds it's downtown areas, along with many of Baybridge's most important areas, such as city hall, power plants, etc. Prince Ed-Field is easily the nicest part of Baybridge, as extra care is put into keeping the streets clear and clean. This is where you'll see the most diverse amounts of people walking the streets, from restaurant, to stores. Though, this is the most patrolled part of Baybridge, and it's hard to commit crimes. 

However, Prince Edfield was the target of the Eco-Natura terrorism attack. A large majority of it was heavily damaged as plantlife violently grew into the area. It was nearly turned into a forest. However, through the combined effort of volunteers (Many of which were Metahumans), many of the trees were removed, and the damage was mostly repaired.

| Regal Square  |

When Edward first settled in Baybridge, he created a village in which would expand into Prince Ed-Field. This village eventually became a town, which evolved into a city. The very first buildings created became the very heart of the city, and the whole section of the city was declared Regal Square in tribute to what started it all. Out of these buildings, Edward's former mansion on the top of a hill became city hall. This district contains incredibly old buildings that have been updated time and time again. There aren't a lot of houses in this district - and what houses are there are protected by the preservation society. Inside Regal Square is the main police headquarters, Baybridge's General Hospital, etc.

| Old Raygate |

Old Raygate is a district out of the way of the nicer parts of Prince Ed-Field (they would put it behind a wall if they could!). Lined with factories, chemical plants, warehouses and power plants that sustain the city's need for industry, it serves as the lifeblood of Baybridge. Raygate was originally where most of the jobs were, but with the rise of white collar jobs, it's somewhat fallen into decline. Now, Old Raygate is known for its (mostly) blue collar workers willing to do the jobs that the middle to upper class regard with disdain. Old Raygate isn't run down, but the property values over here have a tendency to be lower than the rest of the city, with clusters of low-budget apartments tightly packed into its compact residential sector. Raygate contains plenty of shitty cafes, bars, and restaurants for the workers getting off from work.

| New Raygate |

Bordering Old Raygate is the slightly younger district of New Raygate, initially established in the Post-War economic boom for the many returning war veterans who sought employment in Old Raygate's vast industrial sector. Intended as a residential sector, New Raygate is covered largely by low-maintenance housing as well as other community assets (with reduced funding) but has since become a shadow of its former self, having gone into a steep decline over the last few decades. Unemployment and a rising crime rate left its mark on the area, particularly during the Crack Epidemic of the 80s and 90s. Things have somewhat calmed since then, though make no mistake - New Raygate is still impoverished.

| Courtbridge (AKA Downtown) |

Courtbridge is the downtown and cultural center of Baybridge. It's where the city truly shines in the diversity area. Courtbridge contains many stores, restaurants (with great food), and other novelty shops that won't crop up any where else. They range from corporate own businesses, to smaller, privately owned businesses. If there's something you want to get out of Prince Ed-Field, it's here. While walking through Courtbridge, you'll see a wide variety of different cultures - with Asian businesses being the most common, however you'll see plenty of Greek, German, Spanish, and African stores (Mainly restaurants). There's also quite a few clubs, raves, and etc, in Courtbridge. Plenty of corporate office buildings block out the sun in this district.

| Lower South Royer Town |

Ed-Field's residential district - for the rich and fabulous of course. This is where all the expensive houses, apartments, condos, and other high rises are located. Upper class homes that are well furnished, decently styled with Victorian/European influences. There are also a few mansions in this area. These houses should not be purchased unless you're ready to pay a steep price.

| Silver Hills |

Silver Hills is located far north of Prince Ed-Field, a ten or so minute drive from Prince Ed-Field - however it's the furthest away from the other towns. Silver Hills, as the name implies, is elevated high up compared to the rest of the city. Silver Hills is up closer towards the Ever Reaching mountains, and it's much colder than the rest of Baybridge. It's a tad more suburban than the rest of Baybridge. This is where the most of Baybridge's fancy high class areas are, and holds a great deal of Baybridge's population.

| Stonecliff |

The primary residential district of Silver Hills, Stonecliff makes up a majority of Silver Hills. There is a large majority of middle-classed citizens living in Stonecliff. Compared to the other districts, Stonecliff is a tad more rustic than the other houses, but many of the houses have been updated. There is a small amount of family owned stores, and restaurants, but there isn't too much more to note about Stonecliff.

| Greenflower Garden |

Towards the very edges of Silver Hills (and Baybridge), Greenflower Garden is a small section of the city not too far off Stonecliff. It's a more rural, spacious, area of the city which is mostly home to farms. However, Greenflower is wine country. It's home to miles and miles of vineyards, and wineries. The Greenflower Wine Company (named after Green Flower) primarily owns Greenflower Garden. Plenty of wine is exported from Greenflower, and it's known as a major source of revenue for the little district. Greenflower Garden doesn't have a lot of houses (and those houses are out of the way, and expensive), but it has plenty of resorts.

| Hailey Boulevard |

Hailey Boulevard makes up a large percentage of Silver Hills Business. It's where a large amount of businesses are located (Along with a few company buildings). You can find some nice restaurants and stores here. Nothing much of note here other than the certain other buildings which have been built recently. The ISD, and Savior Foundation have been moving up into Baybridge, choosing Hailey Boulevard as their base of operations. The ISD in particular have been building labs left and right. Along with building a university so they can bring more activity into Baybridge - specifically Silver Hills. Which has been successful, thus far.

| Rosalyn Street |

With the small boom that the ISD and the Saviors brought to Silver Hills merely by choosing it to be the next site of their major labs (And starting schools), the question came where were they going to get housing? Simple, move into Rosalyn street. Not that far off from Hailey Boulevard, Rosalyn street was a rather small community of apartments that's now getting a boom in business due to employees needing housing near their jobs. This is also the hipster capital of Baybridge. Expect to see clubs, record stores, and a terrible sense of fashion.

| Strong Gold Community |

Located not that far away from the Hailey Boulevard used to rest a bunch of land that wasn't being used for anything. Houses that were so old and decrepit that nobody wanted them. The Liu Pharmaceutical Company - in cooperation with the Savior Foundation - bought this land (Over time that is) in order to build a new community for those who have been impoverished, or misplaced by the Verthaven disaster. For the next couple years, they have been constructing a new community full of cheap and affordable housing (Located close to several job opportunities). Most of these houses are two story buildings.

| North Fogtown |

Suburbs far north of Stonecliff, a very quaint part of the city. However, Fogtown is known for it's high population of elderly people. Fogtown is mostly where the nice one story houses are. They're affordable with retirement money, and it's where many of Baybridge's elderly go to enjoy their retirement. There isn't a whole lot of activity in Fogtown, it's fairly quiet and relaxed - no stereos, or cars driving around constantly. It's unlikely you'll see too many people walking around that aren't old - however, you'll see plenty of grand kids having a great time playing in the streets. As expected, there isn't a lot of business in Fogtown.

| Hedgemount |

East of Prince Ed-Field, Hedgemount is the primary residential district of Baybridge, and is the largest district of all Baybridge (it could be a town on it's own). It's lined with rows and rows of houses, apartments, duplexes, etc. The three main neighborhoods of Hedgemount are different socioeconomic areas - the upper, middle, and lower class neighborhoods. There isn't too many interesting sights here for the tourists, only thing that would warrant a trip would be Strongriver Plaza, and Fallbridge Square. Each of these three neighborhoods surround Strongriver Plaza which is in the center of the town.

| Fallbridge Square |

An upper class neighborhood. This is where the upper class go to live - but it's also where the upper-middle class also call home. It has many fancy hours, along with a surprising amount of mansions, and nice apartments. These areas are heavily patrolled and protected in the interest of defending the top class of Baybridge. However, Fallbridge Square also contains several nice restaurants, shopping malls, and various other places. It's main mall, the Supernova Mall - is easily the biggest mall in the city, and is visited from all over the west coast.

| Strongriver Plaza |

Strongriver Plaza is the fun center of Hedgemount - for those who don't want to hassle with Courtbridge. Strongriver Plaza provides a different kind of entertainment than Courtbridge. It's where the clubs, casinos, and bars are. Not the most fancy place, but it's definitely there for people who want to have a great time. Even for those after a more elicit brand of fun. The White Spider Society owns a great deal of the clubs and whatnot in Strongriver. If there's a nice club, it belongs to them. Because of the White Spider Society's influence, prostitution is very high in Strongriver. You could throw a rock and hit a prostitute. Strongriver is also where The Society's "headquarters" is. There's plenty of houses and whatnot spaced in between these buildings - the usual cheap houses, and the fancier apartments. Though hotels are far more common.

| West Woodlake |

A district middle class neighborhood built around a lake. This is the largest part of Hedgemount as it contains Baybridge's hefty middle-class population. Most of the houses in Woodlake are single houses, two floors (a couple are one floor), and look quite suburban. There's a lot of these houses, and they come in many shapes and sizes - and otherwise the neighborhoods are quite nice looking. Other than that, there isn't really a lot more to Woodlake.

| Springtown |

Springtown is the poverty ridden part of Baybridge where the blue collar citizens that can't afford to move into the other districts tend to go, so they're forced into small, one story houses. Projects were also created throughout Springtown to provide housing in the Post-War economic boom, but in the last few decades the crime rate skyrocketed as a result of the Crack Epidemic and now, unsurprisingly, crime and poverty are still a persisteng issue throughout the area.

| Roseview |

Roseview is the part of Baybridge which has the least urbanization, but it's technically the largest section of Baybridge. Because it holds the quite expansive wooded areas of the city. Located far south from Prince Ed-Field, Roseview is primarily consistent of woods, rural areas, and farms - which normally wouldn't attract people, but some people are interested in that kind of thing. The buildings in Roseview are quite rustic, which is what gives it charm. In the populated areas of Roseview, expect to find plenty of music clubs, record stores, and the sort, as music is a great part of Roseview's own little culture.

| Faircrest Woods |

The farmers in Havenfield need to get their goods from somewhere. Faircrest consists of miles upon miles of quaint farmlands. Now these areas are really rural, and it's unexpected if someone comes through here. As the farms are usually miles apart from each other, they have very little contact. Faircrest Woods, as the name implies, is also a heavily wooded area, making up a great deal of Roseview's size. These woods are full of all sorts of critters. They're what separates each farm from each other.

| Eastgriffin Ruins |

Eastgriffin is a long abandoned community in the middle of the woods. It started out as a resort of some sorts back in the 70's deep inside the Faircrest Woods. It had a spa, a hotel, and there was even an Academy being built there (The original Academy 61) all sorts of places for people just to lie back and relax. It eventually grew into a small community which was dubbed the "Eastgriffin Community." However after a strange attack launched on the community (The Changeling Unit were believed to have been behind it), the community was mostly destroyed, and abandoned. Now, it's simply a decrepit ghost town. It's been rotting in the woods for years because no one has really bothered to come in and tear the place down, out of respect for the fallen in the attack. It's often used as an exploring grounds, and a place to take spooky pictures.

| Havenfield Market |

Havenfield Market, as the name suggests, is a large district dedicated to a variety of shops and restaurants owned by the farmers of Roseview. It's a mixture of permanent buildings, and structures that are raised and lowered as the need arises. This is where you'd get fresh ingredients created by local farmers, as each of them owns a store of some sort to sell their items. Every Saturday and Sunday, there is a large farmers market event in which people from all over come and set up stalls on the street. Selling food, art, and other goods. It can be best described as a flea market that sells foods.

| Little Seapond |

Of course, Roseview needs it's own residential community. Each of these houses are some of the oldest in Baybridge - but not old as they are in Regal Square or North Fogtown, plenty have been updated. Little Seapond consists of people who want a more laid back location to live in. It's almost like it's own small town, which is quite the departure from the urbanized Seattle-esque Baybridge. Much like the name implies, there are plenty of little lakes and river that people live alongside. Natives of Little Seapond often swim in these bodies of water.

| Waterbridge Airport |

Located outside of Little Seapond is the Waterbridge Airport. A massive airport complex that takes up a great deal of land. It's called the water bridge Airport because it's surrounded by a river that goes to the Northdeer National Park (Which eventually ends at the waterfall), and it technically an "island" of the sorts. The Waterbridge Airport is the other main way in and out of Baybridge (Since it's a bit of a challenge to get in and out of). You can expect to see plenty of planes coming in and out of the Waterbridge Airport carrying not only people, but supplies, deliveries, and whatnot. Much like the rest of Baybridge, Waterbridge has a living community not too far away from it. There's also plenty of hotels in this area.

| Northdeer National Park |

Located far south in Roseview is the Northdeer National park, a major park that makes up quite a bit of the Roseview district. Northdeer is a well maintained park that has a wide network of pathways that take people through the scenic parks of the Faircrest Woods. The pathways mostly follow a large river, and take people all over the Park. You can see joggers, bike riders, and people out on picnics and barbecues all over the place. It's a great place for all of that, because there are several rest areas throughout the park. The entire park ends at a waterfall down by the Ever Reaching Mountains, and many people stop here. However, off the paths, there's a great deal of other scenic areas, which have plenty of critters... Ranging from the harmless, to the dangerous.

| Rosemaple Lake |

Roseview's "downtown." It's a large community that's centered around a large lake in the middle of the city. This community is where all the shopping centers, fancy houses, and whatnot are. Including Roseview's former city hall (Before the entire city hall was delegated to Prince Ed-Field), a museum, and an aquarium. People are often seen renting boats out, and taking them out on the lake.

| Academy 61 |

Deep within the Faircrest Woods was the location of Academy 61. It's located far away Seapond, Havenfield, and any farmlands. In fact, it was originally farmland that was bought by the Academy Program and re-purposed into the education grounds for Metahumans. It's a large mansion-like building hidden by a sea of trees. This mansion contains everything a young and aspiring Metahuman needs; dorms, training rooms, and educational centers. There's a large fence around the academy's ground to denounce where it is, and to avoid animals and people from intruding upon the location. The Academy makes full use of the wooded areas for training exercises and more. Academy 61 itself is quite large, and has hundreds of students from all over - it's also well staffed. After Academy 12 (Verthaven's academy) was more or less destroyed, many of the students from there were shuffled.

| White Coast |

White Coast is the westernmost part of Baybridge, and it's was the small village that was built on the coast of Lake Fair Cove. Now, it's been expanded to encompass a large chunk of Lake Fair Cove, and is the first place that new arrivals usually show up at. Back in the day, it was the harbor that connected the five towns to the rest of the world. When the bridges were built over the lake, White Coast was repurposed into a much different locale. A place that takes full advantage of the massive lake before them to form a coastal city. White Coast is known for it's beaches, love of music, and so fourth.

| Oakdell Harbor (Aka. The Docks) |

The Oakdell Harbor used to be the only way out of Baybridge back in the day. Now that there's bridges, the Harbor is no longer a true harbor. Right now, it's more of an entertainment district, and the harbor has been converted into a lengthy boardwalk which features many coastal restaurants and novelty businesses. The harbor is known for renting boats of the sort to go out on the lake. There's also the many beaches of Baybridge on Oakdell right beyond the docks. These beaches range from private, to public. Oakdell has plenty of houses - most notably the sizable house-boat population that exists on the harbor. Oakdell Harbor was the target of the Overload attack a few months ago, and a massive hurricane tore through the beachland. Destroying a large chunk of it.

| Festival of Joy |

On the boardwalk, and over the beach, is a large amusement park set up on the pier. This amusement park is quite large (Not as large as other amusement parks, however), and can be seen from all over the White Coast. It has a giant ferris wheel, a roller coaster, and various other fun games. With a small admission fee, you and your family can enjoy the Festival of Joy.

| Starrybank |

Located on the Oakdell Harbor is the Starrybanks. It's the nightlife center of White Coast that boomed in the 70's. Starrybank is known for it's multitude of night and strip clubs, which are also mostly owned by the White Spider Society. It also has some casinos, bars, and restaurants. Starrybank is known for the colorful lights that shine at night. Walk on the boardwalk and you'll see various spotlights pointing towards the sky. You can also expect many fireworks to be launched from here.

| RAVEN/DOVE West Coast Joint Headquarters |

A previously inhabited archipelago was chosen to be the new headquarters for the newly formed RAVEN & DOVE organizations. More specifically the west coast branch of the organization. This is where all locations in the west coast branch of RAVEN/DOVE are decided, and operations are carried out from there. Connected to a large bridge, the Headquarters is a large building much in appearance to the FBI Headquarters. Several stories tall - but no tower that the previous NEST Headquarters was. The building is painted black, and has a fancy stone pathway which has a fountain on it. Leading into the main lobby, from there the building goes into a variety of different locations which serve a small function to keep the bigger machine going. Offices for DOVE. An armory for RAVEN. Along with a mission control centers, labs, training halls, lounges, and a lot of other offices.

| Springshore Walk |

A fishing community that was set up on the coast of the Lake. It was technically where all of White Coast started, and acts as the community's "downtown." There's many stores, and businesses operating here - most importantly of all, the fishing businesses. Since fishing is such a big part of Springshore's community, expect to see many bait shops, fishing stores, and boat stores. If you ever want to go fishing in Baybridge, Springshore should be your first stop.

| Greencrest Heights |

Much like the other towns, White Coast has it's own residential district which is located westwards more towards the mainland. Greencrest is a neighborhood with a diverse amounts of economic classes, and whatnot. The houses are truly no different from the homes you'd find in Hedgemount. Greencrest is considered to be the rival to Roseview for Baybridge's musical culture center. It has many musical clubs, and parks where concerts are held - however, it isn't as expansive as Roseview. There are places in Greencrest for fans of extreme sports. Bike shops, skateboarding stores, surfing, BMX stores, and more. Skateboarding is a common sight in Greencrest (Even though it's been banned on sidewalks), there's also plenty of skateparks in Greencrest.

| Brookacres |

The rather impoverished community within Baybridge. It's not the worst part of Baybridge, but on the very outskirts of White Coast is Brook Arces. Full of run down and cheap houses, and red, Brookacres is often called the "Poor white Trash" part of Baybridge. Brookarces is also known to have the highest density of anti-metahumans - so much that it's heavily believed that the Pure are operating out of this area.

Nice. I'll start work on a sheet tomorrow, but a question on a slightly weird power concept - what would you say to a character who could create and control colonies of a species of, like, rat-sized insects?

(Also, I might try and bring in the frictionless girl from Malfunction, with some minor adjustments to suit the setting - please don't judge. :P )

Muh first sheet is coming along quite nicely. Just to be clear, do we need to post them in the OOC for approval first, or just go right to the characters tab and edit as necessary?
