The year is 2048, and in the span of 7 years, Asia has gone to shite in just about as spectacular a means as possible.
A decade ago, violence exploded between India and China, and since USA and Russia had ties to both, they really couldn't do much to help, though they eventually both sided with India. Just in time for the two nations to really start going at it and unleash nuclear hellfire at each other. This hurt everyone equally, even Japan, which remained neutral in the war even up to its end in 2045, when Beijing fell. Huge regions of India and China are either destroyed or irradiated, Pakistan and Taiwan are gone, and the United Korean economy has been severely damaged in trying to repair both the damage from its involvement in the war [on India's side] and trying to repair the empty husk that its northern half had been transformed to by almost a century of Juche. Piracy, too, is on the rise in the South China Sea, though they haven't made much ground on Japanese shores.
Now, several years later, Japan remains in an economic slump as the rest of Asia licks its wounds. Activity from nationalists, communists, and Republicanism is at an all-time high, and terrorism going up with them, especially in the capital of Tokyo. As a result, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police has authorized the creation of an elite division of officers, who will work with the most state-of-the-art equipment, including a set of four mechs - the only ones in any police force in the world, and to be used exclusively when shit truly hits the fan. Which is entirely possible from both sides of the political spectrum, with the Imperial Diet planning to pass a bill to repeal Article 9 of the constitution by the end of the year - which would finally make the Japanese Military more than just a self-defense force.

Rules:
- I am OP. Therefore I am the law.
- I require a minimum of five sentences per post in the in-character thread.
- Don't fight on the OOC. Take it to TGs or chillax and don't fight at all.
- No godmodding. At all. Ever.
- This RP has a three-strike policy. Three strikes and I boot you from the force, and therefore the RP.
- If you are inactive for a week or more, I may request that you make a new character. May. It isn't a 100% guarantee you'll need to make a new character.
- Not everyone will be permitted to pilot a mech, and the mechs will be used sparingly. I will require an RP sample for mech-licensed characters.
- You can create a criminal, though if you want to last more than a page I suggest you go for a big-time criminal, one with very high skills, and a lot of background. Apart from ones I create. Do realize that you can't do crazy stuff if you want to last [for now]. Be subtle, be skilled at covering your tracks. Also, TG me your criminal application.
⑨ Have fun, and stay frosty, my friends.
