The year is 2005... the future...
This is one of the biggest mega-cities in the world.
This... is Midnight City.
In a world where corporations have dwarfed major governments and cities have become jungles of neon and concrete, everything is a business. A world where city police forces pale in comparison to the private security firms and criminal underworld. A world where human augmentation is everywhere... if you've got the cash. In a place like this, everyone's got a problem they need solved. Everyone's got a few dirty deeds they need done. Everyone needs dirty hands. Everyone needs... Runners
Runners aren't just up for hire in Midnight City; they're all over the world. Freelancers in every trade from mercenaries to hackers. Runners take on the jobs too dangerous or too difficult for anyone else. Some run alone, while others run in teams. Every Runner is different, and every team has its own code... if it has any at all.
Not everyone likes Runners. Everyone needs them. Hits, break-ins, package delivery, cyber-warfare, even gang clean-up; Runners do it all. Running might be illegal, but even the police realize they're too much a part of this city... and even they need to call on their help now and again.
That's where we come in. In a city as wild as this sitting in a world as crazy as ours, your team's all you've got. And it's all you need.
Midnight City Runners!

Midnight City!
The mega-city covers most of what was once the American East Coast. It stretches from Maine all the way down to Maryland and all the way back to Michigan. Pretty much dominates the entire north-eastern part of the U.S. Just one giant landscape of city and industry. Fun stuff. There's actually a similar city over on the west coast and a smaller one near where Florida used to be.
Oh I forgot to mention; World War III fucked up a lot of the world. Remember the American Plains? Yeah those are gone now. Not like, 'Nature is disappearing.' gone, more like 'Is currently a radioactive crater.' gone. Oh and Cuba blew up and sank into the ocean. Yeah it was pretty bad. Who know World Wars could be tough, huh? The war's also technically still going; the world powers just agreed to a stalemate and have been sitting on their hands for the last couple of decades.
But none of that stuff is important. You know what Runners are, right? It'd be embarrassing if you didn't, cause you are one. Some Runners work solo and that's fine, but everyone knows the really good jobs are the ones you tackle with a team. And that's what this is. We're a team. We have our differences, sure, but at the end of the day, we need to have each other's backs. We need to cover a wide range of skills and more importantly, get along(ish).
Cause it's gonna be a wild ride.
Stay tuned for more after this short break!
