Cape Meta sanctioned to use their powers, usually by a government or insurance company. Must be bonded and insured. Cowls Metas who use their powers but are not sanctioned or do not carry an adequate level of insurance. Different from Hoods in that they tend to act, or believe they act, like heroes. Hoods Metas who use their powers without official sanction and commit overtly criminal acts. Much debate over what separates 'Cowls' and 'Hoods' Normies Terms used by metas to describe non-powered humans. Wannabes Term for either: 1)unpowered humans who train in some way to peak human performance (gymnastics, martial arts, robotics, etc) or 2) Metas who eschew the use of their powers to lead 'normal' lives. Can be a derogatory term depending on it's use. Halfhome Institute Well known institute devoted to the study of metas. Regarded as a Pro-Meta think tank. The Iron League A team of Capes operating out of Atlanta. Metaphile Someone who gets sexually aroused by metas. Gray Mare Effect A term to describe social defensive mechanisms used by metas when they are nervous about interacting with normies. Named for the WWII hero Gray Mare who was infamous for apologizing profusely to any nearby normie whenever he used his powers. A few authorities equate it with meta self-hatred.This message was last edited by the GM at 02:35, Wed 04 Mar 2020.
Gransy-Moller Scale GMS Scale used to rank metas. Developed by insurance companies based on a meta's threat level. Used by most governments except in Europe and a few other countries. Meta Threat Index MTI Scale that was devised and refined over decades by media outlets. Takes GMS as a base, but adjusts a meta's rating depending on criteria like popularity, marketability, and charisma. Criticized as being inconsistent and nonsensical, but most recognized by most people around the world. Metas on this scale are sorted in to color groups:
Blue: Largest group. Powers are minor or surpressed, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily.
Green: Wannabes (see above)
Orange: Metas who can not control their powers.
Yellow: Capes.
Red: Metas who use their powers and are considered dangerous (Hoods and Cowls)
Black: Metas whose powers are considered serious enough
To be labeled as weapons of mass destruction.
1) How much damage could the meta do within a fifteen minute timespan to an average city block? 2) What kind of powers does the meta have? 3) What is the meta's outlook on the use of their powers?

only uses in benign or mundane situations.

I Active-Malign

O Diminished Capacity or Alien Mentality

that impairs their ability to function in society, or is of a non-human
origin and operates in a mindset not easily understandable by the average person

U Unknown
Not enough information is available on the Meta's mindset to make a determination.
