===The Protectorate===
The New York department of [[the Protectorate]] is the central headquarters of all American teams.<ref>“I’m… I don’t want to sound arrogant, but I’m better than that.”<br/><br/>“Mm hmm,” he said.  “Let’s hope they think so.”<br/><br/>He pressed the button and took hold of the controls.  “New York.  The central headquarters of every Protectorate team in America.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/drone-23-1/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.1]]</ref> Protectorate offices can be accessed from the rooftop and are equipped with a [[Tinker]]-made scanner for verification purposes.<ref>Instead, Legend descended on the rooftop of the NYC Protectorate offices.  A tinker-made scanner verified who he was and opened the doors for him in time for him to walk through.<br/><br/>He nodded a greeting to everyone he passed.  When people asked him how things had gone, he offered them a response that was polite but short enough that it was clear he wasn’t looking for further conversation. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/13/interlude-14-5-bonus-interlude/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 14.y]]</ref> The NY Protectorate does not have the same lack of manpower the [[Brockton Bay]] Protectorate suffers from;<ref>“If she doesn’t agree to giving away either of the two, and you really should play hardball on that, you can offer Clockblocker.  He graduates this summer, anyways, and I’d say he’s got enough friends and contacts here that he might apply to come back to Brockton Bay to join our Protectorate when he turns eighteen.  Best case scenario for us, and it’s not like Boston or New York need more capes.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/28/interlude-7/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 7]]</ref> in fact, the New York Protectorate and Wards constituted the largest cape groups in the [[United States of America|United States]].<ref>“I’m sure Prism will let you have access to the New York teams’ supplies.  Largest cape groups in America, they’ll have a little of everything.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/drone-23-1/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.1]]</ref>

|[[Legend]]
|Leader of both the team in New York and the Protectorate as a whole. Member of the [[Triumvirate]].<ref>'''Legend''' – Leader of the Protectorate.  Runs the team based in New York.  Is one of the best, if not the best ‘flying artillery’ capes, with flight and unsurpassed versatility and power from the lasers he can emanate from his body.  Among other things, his lasers can turn corners, fork into multiple lasers, pass through walls and freeze or ignite his targets.  He has recently left the Protectorate’s Triumvirate. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/cast/ Cast (In Depth)]</ref> A powerful flying [[Blaster]] utilizing a large variety of different lasers.<ref>Legend '''A flying laser-blaster with a toolbox of possible types of laser and laser effects.''' - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgn9rgYutpBqJg1lSBP3NHnq9WK4ToLq9K4ys_I4cRc/htmlview parahumanList], bolded edit by Wildbow.</ref> Resigns in the wake of the [[Echidna]] incident.<ref>'''♦  Topic:  Legend Leaves the Protectorate'''<br/>'''In:  Boards ► Teams ► Protectorate'''<br/>'''Brilliger''' (Original Poster) (Moderator: Protectorate Main)<br/>Posted on June 26th:<br/><br/>Word’s out, and we’re waiting for the Protectorate to give a statement before we get further details.  Legend is stepping down, citing family reasons.  He’s already on record saying that he intends to offer his aid in crisis events, but will no longer be leading the Protectorate.  His successor has not yet been named. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/interlude-19-y/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 19.y]]</ref>

|[[Chevalier]]
|Leader, taking over after Legend resigns.<ref name="his city"/><ref name="prism2"/> Able to combine objects, selecting the properties he wants to remain active.<ref>In truth, there were three.  The largest was thirty feet long, running from the ramp at the back to the cabin at the front, almost entirely set into the floor.  There was no decoration on it.  Only mass, sturdy craftsmanship, and the mechanisms necessary for the cannon that was set inside the handle and blade.<br/><br/>It would have been too heavy for the ship to carry, except he’d already used his power, drawing it together with a second blade, an aluminum blade a mere four feet long.  Lightweight.<br/><br/>His ability to see the ‘shadows’ about people was an extension of this power.  He could see the general makeup of the two weapons, the phantom images, the underlying physics, in lines and shapes and patterns.<br/><br/>It was about perspectives.  Relationships.  He’d drawn them into one blade, with the appearance of the larger, the properties of the smaller.<br/><br/>The third blade was decorative, with a ceramic blade, gold and silver embellishments and inlays in the blade.  The thing was ten feet long from end to end, and again, it had the cannon set within.   Combining the first blade with this one proved more difficult.  He granted the weapon the appearance of this blade, gave it the cutting edge, but retained the lightweight mass and the durability of the largest weapon. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/22/interlude-24/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 24.x]]</ref>

|[[Prism]]
|Can split herself in three copies, and return those copies to herself for a burst in speed and strength.<ref>'''Prism''' – A member of Legend’s Protectorate team in New York, Prism can split herself into three copies, and return those copies to herself for a burst in speed and strength. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/ Cast]</ref> Member of Legend's team and Chevalier's second in command.<ref name="prism2">“In the lead, we have Prism, second in command of the New York team,” Defiant told me.<br/><br/>Prism’s lips flattened into a tight line as she looked at me.  We’d met, at the Mayor’s house.  She’d been one of Legend’s people.  I supposed that Chevalier would have wanted someone who knew the city and the routines as his second in command. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/drone-23-1/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.1]]</ref> Girlfriend of [[Triumph]].<ref>Whatever it was, he must have looked up at the words I’d written, because Rory noticed.  He whipped his head around to see, and I couldn’t disperse the bugs fast enough.<br/><br/>‘Triumph’ written on the wall with bugs with a triangle beneath, pointing at his head.  Above his ‘girlfriend’ were the words ‘Prism or Ursa’. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/10/colony-15-8/ Excerpt] from [[Colony 15.8]]</ref>

|[[Adamant]]
|Can manipulate metal into crude armor and weapons.<ref>Adamant can manipulate metal around him, it's very brutish, strength-focused. Lots of slamming and such. He can form metal into a crude armor around himself and gather metal into rough weapons, like greatswords, mauls, axes, etc. Finally, use of metal weapons against him or wearing metal armor while going up against him in close quarters means your attacks may get shoved aside before they land and you might have your footing disturbed. Very 'brute' in approach - his ability to boost attacks & defense while armored/wielding metal make him a heavy hitter that's good at staying in the fight, especially since he can repair damaged armor using his ability to slowly shape and refine metal. - [https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/59d5rc/metalbenders_confusion/d97ngyw/?context=3 reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref> Participated in the battle against [[Leviathan]].<ref>There was a crash as Leviathan whipped his tail toward Legend, a blade of water soaring through the air to strike the hero out of the air.  The onslaught of lasers interrupted, Leviathan shifted from a crouch on one side of the road to being the midst of the defending heroes in one fluid motion, resuming the carnage in the span of a heartbeat.<br/><br/>''Fierceling deceased, CD-5.  Adamant down, CD-5'' - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/extermination-8-3/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.3]]</ref> Transferred to [[Brockton Bay]] after the [[Echidna]] incident.<ref>I studied Adamant and Sere while I waited.  Adamant, naturally, wore a metallic costume, featuring metal bands and panels that were loosely linked together by chains, fit over a black bodysuit.  He’d been at the fight against Leviathan, if I remembered right.  He was a member of Legend’s team in New York.  Or he had been.  Legend was gone now. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/23/chrysalis-20-2/ Excerpt] from [[Chrysalis 20.2]]</ref>

|[[Astrologer]]
|Can call down projectiles from the sky. Takes part in the battle against [[Echidna]].<ref>He faked a high society woman’s laugh, where the laugh was ''said'' as much as it was uttered.  A cape nearby, one I recognized as Astrologer from the New York team, shot us a dirty look, before she returned to calling down projectiles from the sky. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/scourge-19-7/ Excerpt] from [[Scourge 19.7]]</ref>

She remains passable as middle eastern, black or latino, affecting accents with ease.  She was working undercover as a henchman when a building was bombed.  She was injured and triggered, but resumed the undercover operation without breaking form, adopting a role as a cape lieutenant to the villain.  Her efforts led to an arrest two months later.  Clay and her superiors feel she has exhausted her ability to maintain an undercover identity in NY.  She has requested a transfer to any suitably distant location, with blessings from DEPT_01. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Swjz8BZZNE4bq6lTkHanTK4sJ-K_xVlFudxA16mYjH4/edit#heading=h.cxm96tj8tso3 PRT Quest (Anchorage)]</ref>
