War on Crime (Huge Military/Crime RP; Open to all)

The Set Up:

In my own version of a future America, it is mentioned that Martial Law was declared due to social unrest (the result of problems like mass aging, illegal immigration, failing economies, etc.), crime and corruption. But thus far I have not done an RP in this setting. So I've decided to have a military/crime RP set in the underbelly of America's cities.

You can choose to be a policeman (of any kind), military officer, a criminal, an ordinary person or an elite Minute Man Corps soldier (a blue uniformed elite group of Military Police with riot gear). Simply create a character, drop them in LA circa 2034, and go from there. There's no set plot line, I'm just seeing if people would enjoy one of my RPGs for once.

A few basic rules:

1. No elves, vampires, gods, etc. There will be only normal humans, no genetic augmentations or cybernetic implants.
2. No futuristic weaponry. Keep it simple and plausible (i.e. no plasma rifles). Use rifles, pistols etc. for criminals, military gear for government soldiers/police and whatever small arms you can think of for normal people.
3. No futuristic gear, like vests that stop a .308, etc. Again, make sure it's plausible.
4. No Action heroes. This is like real life, not Rambo.

With that said, have fun!

The city of Los Angeles is darker than usual this night. But the people feel safer, even though in some areas the government is literally fighting crime...

In a grimy alley, fifty Minute Man units storm through gang territory. The Crips are not happy about this. They come out of an old apartment building (from the 1990's presumably) with Uzis and begin firing....

(OOC) I'll be along at some stage when I can find the effort to develop a character properly. I think this would probably prove more popular (but not with me) if you said 'any weapons, races, other crazy ubertech/fantasy' stuff you like!

Then you'd get stories like this:

The almighty God-elf-dragon-cyborg looked disdainfully at the puny humans with their tanks. How little they understood, whereas he could both read their minds and the greatest secrets of the Universe. Summoning upon the mystical powers of Al'Wombat-Trixi-Dol-Gibbon he sent out a fireball, incinerating all of their puny vehicles while their pathetic shells bounced harmlessly off the mighty armour of Despondent Orang-Utan he'd earned 12 billion years earlier when he defeated the Evil God named after an anime cartoon character in single combat, while simutaneously directing a light opera and giving a lecture on physiology.

Sorry, enough hijacking. I'll be back later with a more sensible post.
