I was just watching a few episodes of Burn Notice and thought that it might make good RPG. So why not?
First things first; you're a spy. Or at least, you were. Once. You know, before you got "burned". That basically means you're on the governmental watch list and you can't do anything. Your bank accounts have been audited, you have no job history, you're on every No Fly list in existence, and basically, you've got nowhere to go. So, what are you to do? Well, you have a few ways to go. You can go "goody two shoes" and help people with your covert ops skills. You can try to figure out why you were burned. Or finally, you can turn to the criminal underworld for a little extra income. Your choice. You can get a few teammates to help you out every now and again, and of course, people will come asking you for favors as well. They will not always repay you, so it's your job to make sure that the people you help out will be reciprocating your act of kindness. Cash, equipment, labor, whatever. That would be your payment. As you go along, of course you're going to attract some attention. The feds, the criminals, the other spies...all of them are going to hear about you when you start making a name for yourself. But of course, it's not all bad. The more people know about you, the more stuff you'll have access to, and the more people who will want to join your crew. Hey, you might not have cash. You might not have a job. You might not have a place to live. You might not have anyone who's willing to talk to you. But you do have your skills. Deal with it.
Strength Based Skills Martial Arts Training: Martial Arts. Simple enough, innit? Hand to hand combat training. Breaking/Entering: This is the ability to break in and out of secure areas with pure force. Melee Weapons Training: This is the melee weapons skill for you. Hand to hand, like martial arts, except with weapons. Lift/Carry: Picking people up and hauling them around is harder than you think, especially when they're a dead weight. Maybe you should learn how to do it?
Charisma Based Skills Charm: This means you're more charming, and basically means people will like you more and trust you more. Bluffing/Lying: Self explanatory, yeah? Means you're more adept at lying. Intimidation: Means you're better at scaring people out of their skins in more ways than one. Could come in very handy. Convince/Diplomacy: Means you're better at convincing people to, say, not shoot you. Or something like that. Negotiations: Means you're better at negotiating deals.
Agility Based Skills Stealth Training: Quieter, stealthier. They'll never know what hit them. Sprinting: This means you're a better runner, faster and laster longer. Climbing/Jumping: Means you can climb or jump farther, higher, faster. Pickpocketing/Theft: Ah, not exactly legal, but sometimes you've got to nick stuff away, and this means you'll be better at it. Lockpicking: Got to sneak into someone's place? This is your skill.
Endurance Based Skills Resiliency: Means you're more resistant to diseases and other types of physical damage. Willpower: Means you're better at resisting people trying to scare you or control you. Toughness: Means you get right back up after getting beaten. Perseverance: Means that you are tougher mate. Means that you can sustain more damage before you go out cold or something like that.
Intelligence Based Skills Firearms Training: Means you're better with all kinds of guns. Armors Training: Means you're better at handling the body armors, means you're better at taking bullets. Perception: Means you can spot things more easily. Medical Training: Means you can patch folks up, including yourself. Vehicle Training: Means you can drive, repair, and handle all kinds of vehicles, from civilian to...other kinds.
Equipment Hey, well, you gotta start with something, and that something isn't going to be nothing. You're a spy, even you have to get some good stuff. Take your pick.
Guns A) USAS-12 Shotgun. B) PSG1 Sniper Rifle. C) AK-47 Assault Rifle. D) Pick your own, but nothing too fancy.
If I missed anything, let me know. Good luck, and get cracking.

Okay. So, you've just been burned(clean slate) and dropped in Tokyo. You still have a few contacts in the city who are willing to talk to you, so you can find a job from them probably. Or you could try something else.

You go to the nearest gas station and buy some soda pop for five dollars. Then you look through your list of contacts...apparently, there's one in Minneapolis who's still willing to talk to you: Earl Penthaus. He's a former US Army officer and current police officer. He also helps you out from time to time with some of your more charitable cases. Then there's another contact in Minnesota; Maria Degenero. She's an illegal weapons dealer in St. Paul with connections to the Mafia. So, who ya gonna call?

"Wickham?" Hale repeats. "**** him, I told him to keep away. All right small fry, I've got a job for you, I guess. There's an assassination plot going on in Sacramento, aimed at a mayoral candidate. The original assassin was just taken out. You can take his place, you can try to find what happened to him, or you can get evidence and report the plot to the po-po. Your choice." He hangs up.

You smash it into the wood and send splinters of the drawer flying everywhere. You kick at the remains and find a thick manila folder in a different language. What will you do?

Yes, but I need your real name. I'm the OP. You can have an alias, but you do need to tell me your name. No, I can get the conversions easily. "Then go rob a bank or something," Yoshizawa says, waving his hand.
