[@xodus] I understand you want to highlight the difference.  But you can do that and still be realistic.  At this point I'm not sure any method of beating this Vile will come across as believable to me, because the thing just survived a nuclear explosion.  Even cheating can't match this, particularly since Asylums can't match Chronos.  I don't mean get rid of the power gap, I mean just dial it back.  Especially if you plan on having the team grow, you need somewhere to go.  Don't start off with nukes.  That's jumping the shark.

What the heck is a Gemellie?  I've never heard this term before.

I meant the lower rank, which it seems is B, not A.  Mostly Bs survive, and As (the skilled ones) get killed off.  Not a wise policy.

So the education does cover insanity and its effects?  In that case, you should be a bit more open with the details there, because our characters would have learned about it.  I have to admit, even if you didn't say outright that they didn't get a class on it, you certainly gave the impression that they were left in the dark.

I'm not seeing much to inspire loyalty to AMRO, is what I'm saying.  Yes, a lot of asylums will not know anything else, especially those that started young, but unless AMRO specifically tried to brainwash them (which would have been nice to know in advance), I'm not sure they do a good job of convincing people to stay -- especially with what AMRO puts them through.
