Superheroes
The Enhanced Individual Defense Force (EIDF) is the largest group of superheroes in the world, with groups spanning across the globe. From minor crime to world-ending threats, the EIDF is ready to face it all!
This particular group has seen its fair share of disfunction caused by the sudden change in leadership, several public scandals and outrage. By the time Retriever joins the team, it's been only two years since the group was reestablished in the city. Tensions are high as the Force walks a fine line of existence.
Can either exist within or independent of the Mod AU characters.
The strongest and best known heroes. Team A heroes often pursue solo missions, but they team up for A-Level Threats when they arise. The line between public servant and celebrity is quite thin. These heroes are full-time and, while they do get paid time off and sick days, there is a certain obligation to be ready to respond to A-Level Threats immediately. Team A heroes can also mentor Team B and C heroes, with approval from the leader.
Team A has a communal recreation area and kitchen, but each hero gets a private bathroom and kitchenette.
Team B comprises meta-humans, weaker supers, and others who generally can't qualify for Team A. It's also the team that is optionally full or part time- yes, part time heroism exists. Some people have other things to do.
Full-time Team B heroes get individual rooms, but part-timers get dorms slightly larger than Team C. They get basic bathrooms, but still must use communal showers, recreation room and kitchen.
The Trainee Team. Team C comprises of new supers who don't have a strong grasp of their powers' full capabilities, or they need to get experience fighting within a unit. This team is part-time, but promotion into Team B is easy for those willing to cooperate. Supers who are still in school are often kept in this team until graduation, with very few exceptions.
Team C members have a communal bathroom, kitchen, and recreation space. Their quarters have 2 supers living as roommates per "dorm", with few exceptions.
People who work for the heroes but not within the Teams, Vigilantes, or civilians within this world.
Local heroes are employed by the city or state to bolster law enforcement or community outreach. Typically, they respond to minor super threats or major emergencies (fires, bridge collapses, floods, etc), though they've also been called to help mitiage collateral damage when a Force threat rears its head.
The introduction of Team C on the Force has caused a strain between the two groups. Technically, the Force leader has the right to take over any operation the local heroes are running, though the current leader pushes this right to the extreme. It's gotten to the point where the city's local heroes are openly resentful of the Force, though most of that resentment is focused on Firearm.
