Mornin' Chief. Its going to be weird calling you that. You're lucky they just stuck you with a desk job after what you pulled last week, but the city owes you waaaay to much to just fire you. Here is your coffee and today's paperwork. There is going to be a lot of both from here on out.
First up is restructuring and hiring. Our sector has five X-class precincts, and we have a limited hiring pool to share. Anyone you impress enough will definitely want to work with you over the others, but its been hard going pulling people out of the vigilante life. Your old sidekick fits that category, they'd probably rip their own arms off before letting the city transfer them to another precinct. Otherwise we ain't really in competition, but we have to share or the criminals will find our weak point and exploit it to hell and back.
Our last chief had a three-point organizing scheme. I'll use it just for the convenience, feel free to change things around if you think up a better system. First point is the "Average Joe". He changed this name around a lot, trying to come up with a way to say "Average Person" without making them sound powerless or making the supers sound like freaks. AJs are people who don't have any special powers, or have powers too weak to make a difference. This includes beat cops, detectives, SWAT-team members, and everything else that you can do without shooting lasers out of your eyes. Their performance depends on skill, equipment, training, and numbers... well that goes for everyone, but they rely on the "equipment" part a bit more than Supers. All the other precincts tend to underestimate AJs and they're pretty common hires, so we will usually have more of them than SKs or Heros. Sidekicks are the next class, people with some power that they have limited control over, or a power just barely strong enough to bring them out of AJ class. Their abilities give them a bit more options than AJs, and with time, experience, and training they'll grow stronger likely turning themselves into Heroes. Your old sidekick is one example of that, they're now a fine hero in their own right following in your footsteps. Sidekicks will need support in dangerous or difficult situations, unless they are particularly powerful and lucky. Last but certainly not least is the Heroes. Heroes are professional power users who know exactly what they're doing. They are idols to the public, often becoming icons to their location to the point permanent transfer from one precinct to another is incredibly difficult. Still they are very useful if you can manage it, or if you can pick up some "Freelancers" who work without government oversight. Their experience and abilities mean they excel at nearly any role given to them even outside of their specialties, which tend to be potent on their own. With you suck behind a desk we just have your old Sidekick for now. Come to think of it you still need to fill out their profile. They'd do it themselves, but we both figured you need to get used to filling out forms.
Former Sidekick Profile: (Suggest the Name, Powers, Backstory, etc).
After that we need to find out who else is going to be working with us. I've developed a "Point System" to estimate who we can get away with. With your name attached, we can probably spend 1000 points from the following list:
AJ: 100 Points Per Man
SK: "Gloria" (Telekinetic) 300 Points
SK: "Bulldozer" (Super-Strength) 300 Points
SK: "Gene/Generator" (Electricity Producer) 300 Points
SK: "Abyss" (Controls Darkness) 300 Points
Everyone else will go to one of the other precincts with no hard feelings. We should probably get that done to move on to the rest of today's business. If you have any questions about your new role, don't hesitate to ask.
