I'd like to see a few people of diverse personalities, ideally who have some level of existing responsibility in charge. (ie Valdis as KPD, Zatanna as Welcome Center, someone who hates nice things, John Watson as the voice of reason; idk everyone very well). 3-5 people, I think. And then either one or all of that group would be able to speak up in official matters at the meetings.

I'd also be okay with adviser types, although I think each council member would naturally find their own and it wouldn't need to be assigned. And then everyone below them would have an equal say and be able to vote on issues or at least speak their minds to the council.

My only real concern would be how to not exclude new players/characters from having a voice while still having some level of consistency? To that end, maybe one slot on the council is a rotating slot of every 3ish months, a more recent arrival, to help get them involved (or someone who's willing to help in a specific time of need, but doesn't want to be in it long-term)?

My characters specifically wouldn't want leadership roles. Costigan could maybe act in an advising role (in secret), but idk for sure. Penny might join another guild so don't count on him at all.
