Thoughts about Sailor Atalante's elite squad.
The name, A-Team, was a joke somebody cracked when they were first putting the team together because it was well established at the time that the leader of this team would be the newly established Sailor Atalante (A-Team = Team Atalante). Of course, things being the way they are in Fenspace, the name stuck.
A-Team is comprised of the best skilled or gifted of the Senshi's ranks. Those that have biomods are classified as Aces. Others could have easily been OF-6 field operatives.
I don't have much on the others as of yet, but I now have the framework of a backstory for Sailor Atalante.
Mary was orphaned at the age of seventeen along with her twelve year old sister. Rather than be seperated by the State, she ran. After a chance run-in with some fen, she procured some wave for herself, and handwaved the car her parents left behind. Of course, she wasn't fully up to speed about the needed safety requirements, but she got off lucky. Her little sister, being very fond of the Disney animation, The Little Mermaid, had been watching the film while helping her sister wave the car. It had the effect of granting them both mermaid-like traits. They are both fully amphibious and possess very fine scales in their skin (they're so fine that you think they're wearing glitter until you look at them -very- closely). They can also withstand extreme cold and have retractable webbing on their hands and feet. They can spend as much time on dry land as they like, but they'll start to miss being out of the water after a week or so.
More to come on the others later. Gotta run.
