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.
