The year is 2031 and little over 5 years ago the often ridiculed and laughed at theory of peak oil and its aftermath have become a grim reality. Cheap fossil fuel production and supplies have virtually ceased to exist and as a result global logistics, economies and the production of food and products have collapsed. Shortages of clothing, food and fuel quickly had the modern world in a stranglehold, forcing all but the largest, wealthiest and most ruthless of institutions to their knees. Ever expanding and intensifying social unrests and upheavals were commonplace, contributing in the total collapse of the world's social structures. In many places anarchy or even civil wars broke out and governments the world over were absolutely unable to gain any form of control, which made the already minimal trust of the public in governments, vanish for good.
It was in this era that those large corporations stepped forward and openly seized control over all branches of government and because law enforcement and the military were equally involved and divided by the unrests, they deemed unreliable and thus were disbanded. As a substitute to safeguard their interests and properties the major corporations created their own armed forces; corporate peacekeepers.
Recruited at random these troops were nothing more than hired guns, mercenaries. Men and women with low social standards or a desperate disposition, paid to mercilessly do their master's bidding. They were issued with military surplus and left to their own devices to supplement their own equipment. Due to all the shortages, hitech wasn't going to save the day, since that depended totally on the access to cheap and plentiful energy.
The idea behind the figure;
It is a brutal, small, scrawny man, underfed, malnutritioned, bitter and hard, but kept functioning by being issued with a daily supply of synthetic food supplements to enhance his otherwise meager diet...
