There's three different ways I'm thinking. I'm playing my guy as new to crime fighting. So, you can either be new to it too and we run into each other (on patrol and\or IRL). You're seasoned and you see me out on patrol. Or you're just a regular citizen that I run into (you could be needing help or I run into you kicking someone's ass).
That's what I'm thinking, but I'm open to different ideas.
