Character Planning
Lots of possible categorisation here...
Also I wanna think about retired/MIA Revs. I've been making references to them being lost in previous incidents but not specifically what those were

Teams
The teams are named after the in-universe zodiac. 01-03: scouts, 04-06: generalised task force, 07-09: specialised task force, 10-12: cleanup/support.
01 Oscines [3]
Typically patrols the furthest outskirts of the city. Barely populated areas. Simultaneously the most boring yet highest risk. ??? [Crow] - Team leader ??? [Cat] ??? [Barn owl]
02 Squalus [3]
Typically patrols the residential areas. Sees a lot of weird cases, possibly the most of the scouts.
03 Apis [3]
Area surrounding the generator and business/city areas. Issues tend to be more technical than the ones the Sharks face.
04 Rattus [0]
Non-existent. Used to b e support, but the last member got reassigned to Salamandra.
05 Salamandra [3]
Most adaptable. Most varied in skill types. Originally just thrown together to make up numbers, but became quite reliable.
06 Canis [3]
Has the most firepower of the generalised task teams. Members are quite eager to get on the scene.
07 Cervus [3]
Rival to the Panthers. They're more support-based and cautious, so they don't produce as much carnage. It is, however, a point of frustration to them that they're treated as no. 2 because they break fewer things.
08 Accipiter [0]
Non-existent but for one member: Synth. Currently appointed the Prof's guard.
09 Panthera [3]
The trump card, the facility's elite. Lightning quick and experienced. The team is very close and has not seen any changes in roster in years.
10 Salmo [0]
Non-existent. The team was completely wiped in an accident due to another team's negligence years back.
11 Serpentes [3]
The main cleanup squad. Overworked due to the loss of Salmo and retirement of Lepus' members.
12 Lepus [1]
1 retired, 1 never came back. Last one is considering retirement, but new blood is coming in soon and they want to hold out for it.
Ideas
Heterochromic
- Heterochromic Rev who was a Stray who consumed a Rev and became a Rev to atone
Prismatic
- Prismatic Rev who went missing years ago, presumed lost by most
- Probably set up to be eliminated after finding out some mad secrets (possibly the fact that these weird paranormal incidents are caused by the generator - the existence of Revs is intimately linked to the danger that threatens the living), couldn't return
- Survived by consuming other souls, hence prismatic - primarily white but in a colours of light combine to white way
- They/them...but you don't know if it's gender neutral, referring to multiple people, or both
- Holds personal grudge against the Rev organisation in a villain-has-a-point kind of way
- Has a certain amount of control over clusters due to their soul density, strategically sics them on the organisation
- However is also aware that Revs are also victims of the system, and tends to be sympathetic to individuals...or is it pity?
- Big antagonist, but the true antagonist is capitalism
- Their original desire was to free the Revs, eventually shifting on to collapsing the system by damaging it enough that it can no longer function, which would forcefully eliminate the need for Revs to exist. It's somewhat simplistic, but the world is better equipped to use other energy sources now, and they feel the only way to get them to do it is to stop them from being dependent on the generator, cold turkey
