liaison officers in DC:TAS

[Mark Rand]

Are local and federal government liaison officers reasonable in a Dark Champions: The Animated Series campaign?
If so, what would be a reasonable background for each?

I'm not sure what you mean by a liaison officer. Could you elaborate?

A liaison officer is a representative of an agency that sanctions heroes.

I think they work fine. Federal and/or Local government sponcership means that they will be after the players to limit colleratal damage (civilians and property damage). This can work well since it gives the players something else to consider. You can put them in all sorts of interesting spots if they are having to worry about what their government watchdogs will think.

On the other hand, if the group is a black ops team (ala MIB), then perhaps colleratal damage will become secondary to getting the mission acomplished. In this case the liason officer can handle things like cover-ups and clean-up thereby freeing the players from having to worry about it.
