S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division) is a group affiliated with the U.N that deals with superhuman threats. It is an intelligence and anti-terrorism group similar to the FBI, only it is an international corporation that spans all the world. It acts like the police force. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are armed and work well, much more effective then standard police. They fight terrorists as well as super humans. S.H.I.E.L.D. also has been responsible for the starting of spin-off groups like S.W.O.R.D. and S.T.R.I.K.E. S.H.I.E.L.D. has agents that also are higher level, that often are super humans. Captain America, Spider-Woman, and Iron Man all have operated as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. S.H.I.E.L.D. keeps ties to the superhuman community, too-they often call on the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and Captain America.
Agents of Shield:
a) Agent Colston - Agent Colston is a level 7 agent within Shield. He is a lifer however recently he has begun to question the way Shield seems to use their people. If Colston is scanned by Skye, he will be notified of Skye's identity (via moderator) and the Rising Tide in an effort to help her find the truth about her past. If the Rising Tide's victory condition can not be met (one of the team or Clairvoyant is dead) then he will revert back to being a member of the Shield (Colston will be secretly informed by the moderator).
If Colston is killed (through any method) he will resurrect exactly two night/day cycles after his death. He resurrection will be announced in the main game thread at the beginning of the day. If he is killed at night, that night will count as the beginning of the two night/day cycle. If he is killed during the day, the next night will count as the beginning of the two night/day cycle. This power will only work once. During Colston's death he will not count towards any victory conditions.
Agent Colston may scan one player each night. When scanning a player he will learn their affiliation (Shield, MFOE, Rising Tide). Agent Colston may scan the same player a 2nd time on another night to learn the players role.
b) Agent May - Agent May has been given the nickname of the "Cavalry" because she can get jobs done no one else can. Agent May can decide to focus on one player and thereby block ANY action (assassination, scan) taken against that player for that night. Her protection does not extend to the day. May may not exercise her power on a player on consecutive nights.
c) Agent Ward - Agent Ward sees himself as the protector of the team. If any player is killed (through assassination or vote), Ward may take their place and have himself killed instead. The target of the attempted kill will not be informed. Before each (AND EVERY) kill, Ward will be contacted by the moderator and be informed of who is about to be killed and Ward will given the option to take their place. The player will be asked not to announce the kills prior to the moderator announcing it.
d) Agent Fitz - Utterly useless without Simmons. Each night, Agent Fitz can search for Agent Simmons. If Agent Fitz finds Agent Simmons then they are given a secret forum that only they may communicate in. They are also given the special power of a one time scan that they only learn the results of. Once together, they may scan one player and learn their role (but not affiliation (Shield, MFOE, Rising Tide)).
e) Agent Simmons - Utterly useless without Fitz. Each night, Agent Simmons can search for Agent Fitz. If Agent Simmons finds Agent Fitz then they are given a secret forum that only they may communicate in. They are also given the special power of a one time scan that they only learn the results of. Once together, they may scan one player and learn their role (but not affiliation (Shield, MFOE, Rising Tide)).
Mysterious Forces of Evil:
a) The Clairvoyant - The Clairvoyant can scan one agent per night and learn their role (but will not be told their affiliation (Shield, MFOE, Rising Tide)). If he is killed the power is lost and does not pass on to the remaining members of the MFOE. The Clairvoyant has two secret power. One power will exist at the start of the game but will stay secret to the rest of the players until game events force it to be revealed (by the moderator). The Clairvoyant also has a secret (non-game breaking) power that will only unlock with the right conditions. No one but the Clairvoyant will be informed if this power unlocks (its secret!!)
b) Ian Quinn - Ian Quinn is a rich, spoiled capitalist. However, he seems to be under the thumb of the Clairvoyant and follows his order even if he doesn't seem to like them. If Quinn is scanned by Skye, he will be notified of Skye's identity, join the Rising Tide and expose the identity of the Clairvoyant to Skye only (all via the Moderator). The Clairvoyant will not be aware that Quinn has betrayed him. If the Rising Tide's victory condition can not be met (one of the Rising Tide team or Clairvoyant is dead) then he will revert back to being a member of the MFOE (Quinn will be secretly informed by the moderator). Quinn also carries a gun that he will use if a majority vote is reached for him. Quinn can choose one person to shoot before dying himself.
c) Raina - The flower dress that Raina wears gives her the super power to seduce men only (yo, she don't swing that way). Each night she may attempt to seduce one man. If she is successful, that shield team member joins the MFOE and if that Shield agent has any powers he will retain them. If Raina attempts to seduce a female she will get her ass kicked and be exposed in an announcement by the Moderator in the main game thread at the beginning of the day. If Rania is blocked by Agent May she will fail but will not lose her power to seduce and she will not be exposed in the main game thread or to Agent May and may try to seduce again the next night. Once Rania is successful, she will not be able to seduce again. This is a one-time successful power.
The Rising Tide
a) Skye - Skye is a trusted member of her Shield team however she is consumed with learning more about her past and she believes that the Clairvoyant can provide her the answers. Therefore, she will work to keep the Clairvoyant alive so she can learn the truth. Skye can scan for Quinn and if she finds him she learns his role and convinces him to betray the Clairvoyant's identity to her and join the Rising Tide. Skye can also scan for Agent Colston and if she finds him learns his role and convinces him to break ranks with Shield and join the Rising Tide. Once Skye has scanned both Quinn and Agent Colston, then her victory condition unlocks if all three Rising Tide members are alive and the Clairvoyant is alive. Once the the Victory Condition is unlocked, the game moderator will announce that at the beginning of the day that only one day remains in the game and that the Rising Tide is in danger of winning unless the victory condition is cancelled (either one of the Rising Tide members is killed or the Clairvoyant is killed). If the Rising Tide's victory condition can not be met (one of the potential team or Clairvoyant is dead) then Skye will be informed secretly by the moderator and then be given the choice to join the Shield or MFOE. Skye will no longer be able to scan once the Rising Tide's victory condition can not be met.
Winning Conditions
Agents of Shield - Eliminate all Mysterious Forces of Evil member
Mysterious Forces of Evil - Have equal number of MFOE members as Agents of Shield Members (Skye does not count as a Agents of Shield or Mysterious Force of Evil unless the Rising Tide victory condition can not be met and she has chosen which team to join.)
The Rising Tide - All three Rising Tide members (Skye, a converted Quinn, a converted Colston) are alive and the Clairvoyant is alive. Then one game day must pass and if this condition remains after the vote and assassination then Rising Tide wins.
Turn order during the night:
1) The Clairvoyant scans one player for role (but not affiliation).
2) Agent Colston scans one player for the affiliation. If scanning that same player a second time, Colston will learn that player's role.
3) Skye scans for Quinn or Colston (if necessary).
4) Agent Fitz scans for Agent Simmons (if necessary).
5) Agent Simmons scan for Agent Fitz (if necessary).
6) Raina attempts to seduce a male shield agent.
7) Agents Fitz and Simmons scan one player and learns their role (but not affiliation). (One time only, if possible).

- Specials CAN pre-emptively send in their actions during the daytime for the following night. Specials are allowed to change pre-emptive actions unless it has already been resolved.
