## Super Heroes Commision

### Description

The DUOTSHC (Democratic Union Of Tal Super Heroes Commision) is the organisation that manages all of the superhero activity in Tal. The commision was founded in 2532, at the 3rd Annual Tal Congres. The commision focuses on creating standards for combat education/training and also has the ability to grant and revoke superhero permits. Individuals without a superhero permit from the DUOTSHC who use their abilities to harm another can be severely punished. Although some disagree with the concept of the DUOTSHC, others say it has sucessfully modernised superhero activity. The DUOTSHC has 4 departments (department of education, department of Training, department of security and defence, and the department of technology) with 1 director for each.

## Directors

### Leaders

#### Chairman / Deputy Director

The chairman is the top of the food chain in the SHC, all the big decisions must be approved by them. The chairman is elected via a vote amongst every representative from each city in the DUOT. The chairman can then appoint the Associate Deputy Director, and the Executive Counciler.

#### Associate Deputy Director

The associate Deputy Director is the second in command in the SHC. They aid the chairman in making decisions and appoint all of the Directors. They also oversee all the directors' operations and can also do final approvals for projects and legislations. If at any time the Chairman is unable to fulfill their duties, the Associate Deputy Director would take the place as the Chairman immediately.

#### Executive Counciler

The executive counciler advises the Deputy Director and Associate Deputy Director in their duties. The executive counciler usually has alot of experience in working in the DUOT or is a former Chairman/Associate Deputy Director. They have no power in terms of appoving projects or legislations, but they can have alot of infuence on the Deputy Directors decisions.

### Departments

#### Department Of Education

The department of education focuses on the development of combat education, and ability development. It works on new laws/systems for hero schools, and the director advises principals on their schools and such. The director is very knowlegable in the sector of ability education. Most directors of education start off by completley redesigning the ability education system, which is why the system changes so much.

#### Department Of Security And Defence

The department of security and defence focuses on, well, security and defence. They manage systems like superhero assignment, hero permits, and such. Usually, the director of security and defence is the current Private of the TCA

#### Department Of Training

The department of training focuses creating on new ways to train existing or up incoming superheroes. It is different to the department of education because it focuses on training devices and methods for ALL heroes instead of just student heroes.

Some examples of devices that they work on are, the punching bag test, the Adaptive robot trainer, and the Full Dive VR trainer.

#### Department Of Technology

The department of technology focuses on developing and approving new devices used for crime fighting.
