Powers Division
Overview
The Powers Division is the section of Emperor Cole's security forces that is composed almost completely of super-powered people or entities.
Just because you have super powers doesn't mean you're better than anybody. It means you have a civic duty to serve.
In Praetoria, if you have super powers, want to carry a gun or other weapon, or are an expert in unarmed combat, you join the Powers Division. This means any Praetorian player character is automatically part of the Powers Division.
It's the law. The Powers Division has a 100% recruitment rate.
The Powers Division is a special division of the Praetorian Police Department: the PPD. Most of the PPD do the day-to-day maintenance of the peace, but the Powers Division is called in for missions that require special skills.
Praetor White is head of the Powers Division. While not actually a rank, Praetor White often refers to his Top Dogs, his best members in the Powers Division.
