First Day as an Aegis
Congratulations you just received your Aegis badge. it was a cruel frying pan to get here, now you get to jump into the fire!
Its your first day on the job. Get ready to uncover a mystery and bring shadows to light, maybe save some lives while you're at it!
The best of the best, you put the 'super' in superhuman! Get ready for a long career of saving lives and filling out paperwork!
-The setting:
A modern world where super powers have begun manifesting in common folk. It began in the 1980's, and ever since the amount of super powered humans in the world has been steady. Most people who manifest powers get something niche or hard to use while the luckier ones gain much more powerful and impactful abilities. Many use these powers for good, while some use them gor gain instead. Heroes and villains are not exactly common, but recieve enough media attemtion that they occupy much of the public spotlight. Other powers are at work as well, some that prefer to stay hidden in the shadows. People are given the choice of how to use their power in this world, and you are one such individual, and you have just landed yourself a job at the FBSA.
-But what is the FBSA?
The FBSA, Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs, is the government owned and operated branch that deals in all things supernatural. They handle superhumans and paranormal happenings simultaneously, and since their formation in the early 90's they have slowly gained more and more funding and influence. When a US citizen manifests a power they are required by law to register with the FBSA, and most of the time recieve offers of employment. People who take jobs with the bureau become known as Aegis', the term used to refer to all FBSA employees and operatives. The branch is divided into three divisions, each with their own roles to play in the day to day operations.
-SOE: special Operations and Enforcement. This is the largest division of the bureau, most employees and operatives end up here. The "frontline" division, It is host to everything from street cop level activities to detective work and security detail. These are the boots on the ground for the bureau, and they are the most respected division due to their high success/mortality rate.

-BARC: bureau Asset Recovery and Containment: the enforcer division, the men and women of BARC are usually special operators, and often specialize in handling containment/capture of super-powered threats. If a rogue superhuman needs neutralized or if a kaiju awakens in the sea, BARC is there to disable and contain them for study and capture.

-PRIME: not an acronym but this division is home to the most powerful and popular super humans in the bureau. These men and women wear suits and capes, and have the strongest abilities that bring in not only destructive results but also the most media attention. The better they perform, and the better the public opinion is of them, the better off the entire bureau is. Most men and women either have to serve in the SOE or BARC for a number of years before being considered for a PRIME badge, its seen as both a tremendous honor and difficult responsibility.

In this scenario you are from any three of these divisions! You just started in your position a week ago, and this is your first assignment!
-The premise:
This scenario sees you as a rookie from any of the three branches, assigned to aid Aegis Breakpoint in an investigation near the outskirts of NYC. Breakpoint (otherwise known as Arthur Lancer) has been looking into a string of odd disappearances lately and has just gathered enough proof to implicate the involvement of Trid3nt, a secretive shadow syndicate who routinely plays god in creating superhumans through science and torture. They have been hidden for years, and breakpoint finally came up with proof of their existence, that means you have been assigned to help him crack this case. Will you help Arthur uncover a secret crime ring? Will you and Artie bring the shadow syndicate to light?

-The characters:
-Arthur Lancer: Aegis Breakpoint.
Arthur is the oldest surviving Aegis in the Bureau, he spent his early career as a BARC specialist, then when his power manifested he spent several years in the PRIME division as one of the top heroes. Around 2014, he lost his niece to what he always knew was a trid3nt kidnapping.(agent 03?) This caused him to transfer down to the SOE branch, starting a long career in detective work while he fruitlessly tried to prove the existence of this shadow syndicate. While heroes were battling villains and monsters, Arthur was scrubbing the streets looking for ghosts in the machine. It was a fruitless search until recently, and now that he has proof, he is not going to let up until he sees the truth brought to light. A veteran of over thirty years serving as a hero, hes seen it all and still retained his humanity despite the horrors. His powers include manipulating vibrations, something he has learned to use creatively over the years, and being s great shot with a pistol. Practical and approachable with a love for whiskey, he is a great mentor, and in this scenario he is your boss, try not to call him Artie (his friends do all of the time)
-Aegis Sentinel
A Junior addition to the prime division, Sentinel spent most of his short career in the SOE division. When not teaming up with top heroes he enjoys helping the SOE division where he can, and in this scenario it is assumed that you are somewhat familiar with Sentinel. His powers include manifesting hardlight in the form of barriers with few limits, and being a decent shot with a pistol as well. He is somewhat cold and stoic, but when off the job his isnt very serious, just emotionally stunted. He views Aegis Breakpoint as an old washed up has-been, but he greatly respects his wit and intelligence even if he doesnt appreciate the mans dry humor. Since it is assumed you know him from the past, he respects your capabilities but has little opinion on you as a person(to keep your role less defined)
-Director Vance
Director Vance is the brains of the entire Bureau. He oversees every operation and undertaking and is the mastermind behind its continued success. Cold and practical, the man has little time for jokes and prefers results, but is not difficult to please so long as you do your job.
-an evil intruder
Move quickly, there are predators afoot, and she will not wait for you to doddle
