This is a simple 2014-2015 Earth Sandbox setting, The only real rules being: No godmodding, and no ruining the fun of the RP. Break either of those, and the people RPing have EVERY right to ignore you. Also, please use some common sense.

Otherwise, you could really be anything: Army commander, superhero, astronaut, really anything. (No gods or godlikes though, that would make it much more likely to break the godmodding rule.) Now you may be wondering "But it will get boring!", but really, you dont need to worry. You can create a interesting storyline to RP through aswell. Others can join or create their own stories to make sure the RP dosent get dull. No character sheets are necessary, but you can make one anyway just for the sake of characterisation and description.

The RP Begins immediately. Have fun.

Could I be a taxi-driver in New York? Would you be able to do anything interesting with that?

The interestingness of the RP really depends on how well you create the story. I am painfully lazy (Trust me, im not even remotely joking), so im pretty much leaving it up to the RPers to "create" this big storied world, using the present day as a template to build upon.
Really, its a "jump-in" kind of thing.

Sounds interesting!! I wonder if you can make a character sheet, even though its a sandbox, so we know the look of our characters? :3
