Chemical faction

The shifter society 's millitary force led by Chemical.

Responsibilities
Chemical's main responsibility is keeping law and order in the society. There is always something for them to do as shifters are prone to fighting due to their nature. They are not the one to enforce the secrecy laws (that is electrical’s job) but rather the ones concerning shifter/shifter interactions. Murder another shifter and the hammer of justice that is chemical will get you.

Chemical is responsible of guarding criminals taken in by both their own faction and electrical. There is always someone at duty in the holding cell area.

The faction also takes care of and guard the big library containing shifters collected knowledge. The library includes an archive of all registered shifters, their powers, faction and whereabouts. Not all information in the archive is available for anyone, but a person from the electrical faction have an easier time to get hold on restricted things.

Organization
The organization in chemical is reminiscent of military organization. There are clear hierarchies and all members must train physically and their powers if they want to have a real job in the faction. To be able to have a higher rank you need a university education. This does not only prove that you are somewhat intelligent but also that you can interact with humans without trouble. You also need an even temper and good shifting control. Work in the archive have a flatter structure and less demanding, but is not seen as a high status position.
