*'''Tier 1''': Humans. Basically people who may have special abilities but by and large fall under the category of a human, vulnerable to human frailties and limitations, even if some cross a bit beyond them. People with powers or martial arts skills may still qualify as Tier 1 if they aren't otherwise COMPLETELY beyond human. Characters are this level can range from highly skilled but otherwise unremarkable individuals, such as highly trained soldiers or police offiers, to incredibly skilled martial artists. Also included are characters which have developed their bodies to the point others cannot, such as using ki techniques and the ability to run from roof to roof with relative ease. The deciding factor however is that they are still basically human, and can be killed by human means. Bullets, bombs, blades and weapons of the genre can still give them pause. This does not mean the character is weak, but they may be more vulnerable than some on the higher tier, and are more likely to deal with higher-end problem through persistence and the use of weaknesses rather than brute force, but this does NOT mean they are necessarily out of their league. | *'''Tier 1''': Humans.

Also enhanced humans, cyborgs, robots and aliens can fall under this category. How much damage they're capable of doing also plays a large role in this Tier. Characters of this category tend to be physically stronger, tougher, and able to dish out quite a bit more damage than any ordinary human can. Bullets and mundane weapons may hurt them, but they are by no means likely to die from those, and those characters who ARE still vulnerable to bullets can counter with massive destructive power. This Tier is more varied between defensive abilities, damage potential and a healthy mix of both. Most people who would qualify as 'Superheroes' fall under this Tier, due to their capacity to ignore the average grunt and their capacity to surpass general mortal limitations. |

Nakatomi Division
Nakatomi Division is another division of PARADIGM that handles temporal anomalies. Here is the current roster.
Roster Template - Character template to use for a Nakatomi Division Agent.
Character Tier: The relative 'power level' of a character. This is to help send an appropriate response force to missions. Generally a whole series TENDS to fall under a single tier, but there ARE exceptions (where the power between the main characters and the side characters is skewed, or where a series has a bunch of super people and a single badass normal archetype).
Tier 1 characters are allowed on missions of Rank D and up.
Tier 2 characters are allowed on missions of Rank B and up.
Tier 3 characters are allowed on missions of Rank A and S.
Note that if a GM is fine with allowing higher Tier characters on a lower rank mission, then it's their preorogative, and some lower rank missions are mostly comedic and non-serious, and power level should not be a concern. However, this is a good guideline to know whether or not your character fits in these missions.
