OOC: This is a character RP. Basically, you can choose to be any character you want, within a few limits. Rioting breaks out in VT's capital, Karasi, after a youth is battered to death by the police, which is not that unusal, but is usually done in secret. You can be a riot officer, a rioter, a civillian caught up in it, an unlucky foreign tourist, whatever, anything short of part of a foreign peacekeeper force. Template for characters is here:

IC: The suburbs of Karasi are basically left-overs from the Industrial era. Cramped tower blocks, directly next to factories, house the poor and the destiute who are essentially bound to the factory owners. They earn a measly fee, literally just enough to cover the rent, food and clothes. The people live in permanent opression, with Lauod Pejep Riolk (Royal Civic Police) patrolling the streets day and night, snatching any dissidents, jamming a black bag over their heads and throwing them into the backs of their armored vans, carting them away, the vast majority never to be seen again. Those who do come back are usually covered in bruises and cuts, usually a broken bone or two, and when asked what happened will have either a violent response or a complete lack of knowledge about their abduction and re-education. Permanetly on the brink of rioting, the people of the suburbs are poor, angry and desperate. All they need is a spark, and a little luck, and they could have their day...

A recap of our top story now, rioting continues in the outer suburbs of Karasi today. A case of alleged police brutality is said to have sparked the violence, where a youth, Nigel Carver, was beaten to death on Tallem Avenue. Footage was leaked onto the internet and, while police were quick to remove the footage, it reached enough dissidents to spark rioting. The LPR have blockaded the suburbs from the inner city, and travel is impossible between them without a pass from the Cheif of Police.
A bottle shattered against his shield, a vollet of abuse followed. Roughly two hundred LPR officers (http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z107/Kain1235/Riot_Police_at_Esphigmenou.jpg), decked out in body armor, clenching pointed oval shields and metal telescopic batons, stood in a solid line across the main street that ran into the east-central part of Karasi. Across from them, a far greater number of people, dressed in normal clothes, most weraing bandannas across their faces, or hooded tops, jeered and threw debris at line. It was like something from a thousand years ago; the police, in their testudo formation, holding the line from the relatively unarmed, but dangerously unpredictable rioters. Occasionaly, a group would charge the line, never the full mass at once luckily, only to be beaten sensless by the batons, dragged behind the line and thrown into a waiting van. Tobias stood in the middle of the front line, his shield dirty and bloodied from numerous charges, awaiting the full on rush that he knew would come, because it always did. And when it did, he would be ready to dispense some justice in a style that the LPR did best.

Joe was on holiday. She had hoped to explore a new culture and spend some down time. However as she had walked trought another part of the city she was in she soon found herself in the middile of a riot. WHen the fighting started she stayed out of the way. Her hand drifted to firearm she had purchased for protection whilst in the foreign country. The 9mm weapon that sat in her belt was loaded and she had a few spare clips, she hoped to not need to use it.
