Shield Police - Recruitment (Open & SG RP)

T-28 Days. You see a televised advertisement recruiting loyal citizens into the Paragon City Police Force. The alien invasion, the zombie attacks, the bad financial climate, it has all been linked to the sudden rise in crime rates, suicide and deaths. The PPD are so determined for increased police visibility, they're even offering a crash-course training in weapons, tactics and genetic enhancements to even the playing fields. In return, you are expected to present unwavering servitude to the force. Do you pick up the phone and dial 911-Careers or change the channel to Fox for an episode of Prison Break.

The noise from the television woke Gabriel; as his eyes adjusted to the light he saw the PPD logo on screen and closed them again.

Turning his head to the left, he opened his eyes again to see his uniform laid over the chair beside him.
'To protect and serve' he read to himself.
Well I failed at that as a normal cop, he thought, but i've been given a second chance. And this time I WILL NOT fail.
He looked down on the scars across his torso, to his right arm. Or to be more accurate, to where his right arm would be. Instead all he saw was the bed, and the metallic shoulder joint that was there in place.
His eyes traced down to the foot of the bed, to a case marked with the insignia of Infinicorp. and his mind wandered to the memory of a conversation. A gift, in thanks for your effort, and your loss.
He lay back and closed his eyes once more, the streets had not seen the last of Gabriel King.

[[Gabriel was brutally wounded in the attack on the Steel Canyon Infinicorp. HQ by the villain Dark Ebon Spider - losing his arm and suffering large burns across his body]]

Looking up from her breakfast, eighteen year old Imogen Roberts smiled slightly moving over to the phone picking it up and dialing, she reflected over her life, what the city had given her, what it had taken away, the stories of her Fathers exploits. She was determined to follow on the path of justice...

Avenue, otherwise known as Dark Sun, took a glance at the television. He took out his mobile, and dialed the number on the ad.

"This is 911-Careers. Which career would you like to sign up to?" the woman on the mobile stated.

"The Shield Police. And I don't need any training...I've already got it." Avenue replied.

"OK, we'll just inform the orginazer of the Shield Police. We'll call you back. Have a nice day!" the woman said kindly, and the conversation ended.

Avenue put down the phone, and turned over to Fox.

Annette raised an eyebrow. Well, I guess they really are getting short on cops then? Ni commented. There's a programme about weird mutations and deadly superpowers on Discovery. "Sounds aweful," Annette replied aloud, and switched channels.

(( No way is she watching Prison Break. I mean, that got tired quickly... ))

Sarah Partsan looked up at the tv while working out at the Paragon City Gym and spotted the advert for the PPD.
"Is the crime rate really that high that even all the heroes can't take care of it?", she thought to herself as she completed her 5th mile on the treadmills.

Once home and showered still half undressed she picked up the wireless phone from the hook and rang the 911 careers line.
"Police Careers, How may I help?" came the voice from the other end, " I've seen your advert for new police cadets and would like to enroll" Sarah replied
"ok if you could state department you with to join your name address and phone number after the beep we will despatch someone to collect you in the next few days to start your training......BEEP"

"Shield Police, Sarah Partsan, 259 Bronze Way, Steel Canyon, Paragon City, XXX XXX XXX", at that she hung up and finished getting changed.

Next day after Avenue's phone call, the mobile rang.

"This is 911-Careers. We were informed yesterday that you wanted to sign up for the Shield Police? Well, just confirm your department again, name, address and phone number and once that's done we will send someone over in a few days...do it after the beep sounds...have a nice day...BEEP!" The woman's voice was heard saying.

"Shield Police, Marcus Avenue, 28 Skillstate Place, Skyway City, Paragon City, 5667 321 9478.", Avenue stated before hanging up and switching off the mobile.

Now it's time to just wait for them...

The last troll slumped to the floor, the taser making his body twitch now and then. Officer York stepped over the prone body, planting his boot firmly on the back of one of the mob as he tried to rise.
"I would'nt try that, pal," he observed with a wry grin. He watched as the rest of the unit moved in an locked down the area. He slung his sniper rifle back over his shoulder, just as his PDA went off.
A minute later and York looked up with an amused smile.
"New unit, eh? Sounds interesting. Change is good..." he mused, heading off, leaving the Trolls to adapt to the change they would be facing in life, or more accurately the inside of the Zig.

"dont turn around!" said a voice from behind, as he felt a gun like object dug into his back "what" i answered, " dont turn around or il splatter your boady over this wall here!" i was being robed...again, "what do you want this time" i answered, "we got us a mouthly one boys" "i really shouldnt of said that" i thought, "lets teach this punk some manners". before i knew it i was being held up against a wall by two thugs while another layed into me with a flurry or punches and kicks to my boady, there was nothing i could do i was powerless to defend myself, at that moment a comercial was showing in the store window across the way, i tryed to focus in on what it was saying when one of the thugs caught sight of what i was looking at and laughed in my face "its always been the same crime always pays in this town, even with super heros they cant stop us and some stupid little new unit aint gunna touch us!" they hit me so hard that i blacked out completly, i woke up at night in the gutter covered in cuts and bruises, "things cant stay like this" i helplessly said, "maybe he was right, maybe crime does pay maybe i should just be a criminal!" at that moment a hero passing over me over heard me and came down to talk. "are you ok?" the hero asked, standing tall and proud, "i guess so" i answered, "whats this talk i heard about crime paying off?", "well its starting to look that way" i said in desperation. "the only reason why crime is on the increase is because people wont get of there back sides and do anything about it, if you think crime is unbareable, do somthing about it!" said the hero. i laughed to myself "what like this new sheild police thing" "exactly!" he said, how is this town going to chance if everyone complains about crime but does nothing about it! anyway i gotta head off im on patroll, think about what i said yea?" the hero blasted of into the skyes like an angel, "he's right..." i said in disgust with myself. "nothings going to get better unless i do somthing about it, unless we all do somthing about it! starting tomorow im gunna enroll on this corse and im gunna get out there and show people that the only way to beat crime is fight it! the man walked away with his head up tall and proud to be an atlas citizen. seconds after, the man was held up again by more thugs.
