    Question Question about the Official Champions Universe's ASPRA

    Odd question, since I've been working on the details of my own campaign's version of the American Superhuman and Paranormal Registration Act (ASPRA) -- my own version is called the NRA (Nova Registration Act), so if I slip and use that term instead I apologize.

    I looked for but failed to find information in CU5 about who has access to how much of the information compiled by/for ASPRA, especially as it related to the public at large.

    In particular, do employers in the official CU have the right to ask prospective employees if they are registered, and/or have the right to contact Primus (which according to CU5 is responsible for the ASPRA) to see if prospective employees are registered? I would assume the answer is "NO" given that this has strong potential to violate genre convention (secret identities), but isn't that just the sort of thing the public would expect if they supported such legislation (cf Megan's Laws)?

    Thank you for your time.

    My basic understanding is that PRIMUS controls that information and only law enforcement organizations or "sanctioned" superheroes have access to it. So an employer could not just dial up PRIMUS and ask if John Doe, SS# 123-45-6789, is a superhuman or not.
