===AGILE===

Anti-Gang Initiative of Law Enforcement

A soft method approach to gang violence. After a number of studies showed that young people sentenced to lengthy jail terms ended up either returning to their gang upon release or, even worse, getting drafted to larger organized crime units after making contacts in jail, AGILE was created in an effort to break the cycle. It includes police and detention officers, prison authorities and also people of more civilian capacity, such as school and family counselors, psychologists and other medical professionals, and community workers.

AGILE targets primarily first time offenders, providing alternative sentencing, education options and outreach programs in an effort to direct people away from gangs and point them towards other kinds of groups where they can feel to belong, such as sports clubs and community groups. It is not uncommon for people who successfully broke their gang ties to end up joining AGILE themselves, and many former gang members visit schools and youth venues providing a less glorified and more disillusioning view of gang life in an effort to stop people joining gangs in the first place. They may even directly approach gang initiates in an effort to get them to reconsider joining, often working together with school counsilors to this end.

Both gangs and organized crime see AGILE as interfering with their recruiting pool, and people involved with AGILE sometimes have to deal with threats and harassment. They are not often targeted with direct violence, though, since the police officers involved treat attacks on AGILE civilian personnel with almost the same seriousness as attacks on the police, and gangs do not wish that kind of heat on themselves.

===Order of the Questing===

Originally an itinerant Catholic monastic order founded by returning crusaders, they had a falling out with the Holy See around the time of the reformation. Always something of a mix between a monastic and a knightly order, after getting expelled, they simply went from a monastic order with knightly trappings to a knightly order with monastic trappings. Although they remain itinerant and still retain some of those monastic trappings, such as dressing in monastic robes when expecting trouble or wishing to hide their identities, strictly speaking the members of the Order of the Questing are knights, not monks.

So far, the only member of the Order of the Questing encountered has been the Inquisitor.

===Heroslayers===

This is not the first time the Storm has hit. It has done so in the past, to a lesser degree, and heroes and monsters emerged. Heroes fought the monsters, but some of them got cocky with their powers and set themselves up to rule over lesser beings. Groups or ordinary people formed to oppose the abuses of the supers. Many were easily dispatched, but some used stealth, guile, superior numbers, and the right weaponry to fight off or even defeat the supers. These people exist to this day, as an organization known as Heroslayers. They have always known that supers would return, and they are ready for it.
