This campaign focuses around a Legendary team that uncovers secrets. This could be handled quietly using stealth, hacking and magic to accomplish the objective, but if things get hairy, this team has the firepower to end any conflicts.
The Infiltrator campaign focuses around a team, so one of the most interesting parts of the design can be the Headquarters or kind of team.
An Independent team might make their own decisions, choosing targets based upon personal vendettas or clients that come to them.
A Government team might be out to end exceptional threats, looking to cover up or exterminate magical problems or rogue agencies.
A Corporate team could be sponsored by a company or agency, but their mission is civilian. It might be interested in learning about magic or trying to uncover the secrets of a corrupt government.
Character Concepts
HackerThe Hacker focuses on using computers and networks to gain access to the data they need. They may not be the best in a firefight, but they're no stranger to breaking the law. A Hacker who prepares for combat or physical exploration might have a suite of drones that can handle the situation for them. They may also serve as a science officer for the team, being more knowledgeable about general subjects and having access to search technology for quick references.
Hackers with access to magic could create or use extraordinary technology like the AstralNet to connect to computers that are otherwise inaccessible.
