Black shield detectives (Cypher system)

Being law enforcement in a mega city is a hard job. Being a black shield is the hardest job. Black shield detectives are judge and jury. If your a beat cop and a black shield is on their way to back you up, you know your going to be ok. If your a criminal the last thing you want to see is a black shield officer. (Could very well be the last thing you see)

Black shields are licensed to keep the peace, investigate crimes, punish the guilty.

The metro gangs (Cypher system)

Life at street level in any mega city is hard, fast, and cheap.

Wasteland gangers (Cypher system)

These are very hardy folks. With them the saying holds true "that which doesn't kill me will only make me stronger"

Wastlanders are often those who cannot conform to society of the Mega-cities. They either left it, chased from it, or expelled from it by force.

Those banished are often marked or brain chipped as to never be allowed in society again.

Surviving the wastes is rarely a solo endeavour. Some wastlanders cling to towns or cities of the waste, finding security in numbers. Others roam the land in gangs preying on those weaker than they.
