"If you run, you're only going to die tired!"
In 2002, a crack commando unit of uplifted animals were sentenced to die simply because they were no longer useful. These animals promptly escaped from F.A.R.M.'s secret island to the United States underground and from there made their way to Mexico. Today, still wanted by F.A.R.M., they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the A-Force.
The A-Force consists of four members of a former special ops outfit, now mercenaries.
In a world where supervillains can pose a serious
threat to a city, a nation, or even the entire
world, many people aren’t content to sit back
and wait for superheroes to save them. They
prefer to find ways to protect themselves and
their property from supervillains, killer robots, and other superhuman perils.
The A-Force specializes in hunting
and combating superhuman menaces using intelligence, toughness, technological
know-how, and of course meta powers.
A highly successful operation in central
Africa in 1998 brought the company some much needed publicity and several hefty
contracts.
In 2002, while helping the
Colombian government to quell a particularly brutal
faction of the FARC revolutionary group, the A-Force got lucky and captured
a supervillain who’d been working with them. Since he wasn’t covered by their contract with Colombia, the company
was free to turn him in for a
hefty reward. Wolf
realized they were on to something.
Rewards offered for supervillains
often mounted into the millions, and the
publicity for dealing with them was invaluable.
Slowly but surely the team began
retooling the company to be less of a mercenary
outfit and more of a “provider of anti-superhuman
security” (and bounty hunting) organization. Lots
of people didn’t like being so dependent on superheroes
to save them from villains. They hated
feeling helpless, or having to simply hope and pray
that some costumed nutjob wouldn’t fixate on them or their company and ruin
their lives.
The services offered by the A-Force is only to
legitimate, people in need. They never engage in evil acts and will not
knowingly work for an evil person or group.

Their leader is Captain Wolf, whose plans tend to be unorthodox but effective. Only a foolish animal goes into a fight unprepared. One of the keys to The A-Force’s success against superhuman criminals is Wolf's investigative abilities. He uses a combination of Streetwise abilities and general investigative skills to figure out where a villain’s hiding out, and if possible who’s with him or what other resources he has. He also studies wanted meta humans to learn their powers, weaknesses, tactics, and habits. He compiles this information into an overall database for the others to read and learn how a target fights and what he’s likely to do in a combat situation. |
