Sin City...
A dark, sprawling metropolis that hasn't seen the light of day since the War almost 150 years ago.
The city is surrounded my massive walls made out of technology lost to time. Outside these wall are small slums where the outcasts of society live. Inside the walls things are not much better than outside, hundreds of years of building has turned a city into a maze. Millions of people live within the walls, packed like bees into humanities concrete bound hives. The mayor is barely a figure head, and coruption runs rampant through black markets, politicians, organized crime, gangs, and rouge killing machines and powers. For the event that sparked the War was the rediscovery of magic. To wipe out these powers, the countries of the world resorted to the only form of war they knew how to use, nuclear weapons. This failed, as the weapons were detonated in the air and sea by anti-missle weapons and powerful magics.
In the end, we destroyed ourselves. We had poisoned the skies and seas with our weapons, and poisoned the mind and body with magic and technology.
And so, these amazing weapons were banned from the oasis that was Sin City. A ban that has done nothing to stop their enterance.
Surprisingly, there is one office that remains untainted for the most part. An office deticated to keeping the peace and responsible for the well-fare of all those who live in Sin City.
The Police
Maybe the Police isn't a good word for them, a highly trained military detachment assigned to protect Sin City by a dying government. They answer to no one but their superiors, specially not the corupt Mayor.
Within the police there are several divisions.
Pursuit/Patrol Units: Authorized and trained to use medium strength weaponry, and highly advanced vehicles.
Demolitions Experts: Trained to disarm, arm, and fight with advanced explosives.
Anti-Invasion Forces: The wall guards, trained to use the highly fortified and destructive weapons mounted on Sin City's walls.
Cataclysm Division: Arguably the most powerful and versitile unit in the Police Force. The CD is authorized to use all the munitions available to the Police Force as well as any illegal weaponry that may be confinscated from the numerous criminal elements in Sin City. CD takes all the worst jobs in Sin City. They do gang busts, destroy fortified mafia buildings, and elimate rogue cyborgs and magic users as well as numerous other dirty jobs. Why do they get all the bad jobs? Because the CD represents one of the most disliked minorities in Sin City, Talents.
Talent: Normal humans with a trace of the magical gift. Talents can be anything from clairvoyance to infra-vision to increased strength or agility. All Talents posses a single minor magical ability.
