Vigilante Roleplay

First off, this isn't my only roleplay idea, but this is one of my favorites floating around in my head. I'll gauge interest in this one before deciding whether or not to put up any of my other ideas yet.

I'd like to give a brief introduction to this roleplay. From May 2005 until its closure on November 30th, 2012, I was a member of the City of Heroes community. The game allowed you to create your own hero (or villain) with their own unique powers. And although, there are other superhero MMOs, none of them have been able to hold a candle to City of Heroes, in my opinion. I also happen to be a Batman fan, and I enjoy Christopher Nolan's vision of the character, with a more realistic vision that lacked any type of super powers in the characters. Thus, the idea for this roleplay was born. Now, without any further adieu, let's begin.

Setting

The story will take place primarily in the fictional Weston City, located on the east coast of the United States. There may be situations in which RP may take place in other cities, (which may also be fictional cities) but that will depend on where the story goes. Weston City is largely ruled by various gangs and crime bosses. Even (most of) the police and elected officials are corrupt, but the various groups vying for power keeps it from it being completely seized by one group or person.

Plot

A Weston City detective, fed up with the corruption of the police force, the elected officials, and the presence of criminals, decides to take things into his own hands. By day, he remains a detective, but at night, he adopts an alternate persona, dedicated to bringing justice to the criminals and the corrupt by any means necessary. Naturally, those he targets begin to notice and don't take too kindly to his acts against them. With his acts, he hopes not only to bring down these people, but also to inspire the people of Weston City to stand up for themselves, instead of allowing themselves to be pushed around.

Characters

For the most part, the character you create is fairly flexible. That being said, I do have a few important roles I'd like to have filled. The detective/vigilante obviously, (whose real name and alternate identity have yet to be decided) his partner, who also happens to be a good cop, and a reporter who teams up with the vigilante and eventually learns his true identity. Other important characters would be corrupt cops, city officials, and crime bosses. The nature of most of these characters would be up to you.

Although this is a "superhero" roleplay, I won't accept any characters with actual super powers, (in human terms, e.g. Superman types where their powers are natural won't be allowed either) nor will any of the characters be allowed to develop any. As such, all the abilities that characters exhibit will all be within natural human potential. That isn't say your character couldn't be talented at parkour or be able to lift more than your average human, or create more advanced pieces of technology, within reason.
