Default Re: [Banestorm] The Ministry of Serendipity

Sorry to bring this post from the dead but for continuity, I decide to recycle this thread.

I've made the Ministry of Serendipity with the help of Boardromm and Curia. To follow-up on what we have already discuss. Feel free to give your impression:

Ministry of Serendipity

Members Traits: Legal Enforcement Powers [15]; Legal Immunity [20]; Security Clearance [15]; Ministry Network* [9]; High Technology [5]; Secret (Serendipity agent) [-10]; Duty [-10]

Notes
The Ministry possess a cell of each Office in each Large city of Megalos. Each city has about 300 agents, manage by a Senior Agents (Rank 4). Each report to one of the three Captains who manage the Offices (Rank 5). The Chancellor of Serendipity (Rank 6) is at Megalan Court and governs the Ministry.

Tracker and Cleaner have rank equal to their degree.

Ministry’s Assassin and Warrior-Tracker are considered Rank 2-3

They are serious for other people. Who says they are serious for themselves?

In any case some justification can be made for doing a study of Earth. Maybe they want to do some sort of magical dam of the Banestorm that needs to find where the leak from the other side is.
