Dystopian AU

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.


1. Stronghold - Inside the walls, we are safe. Outside the walls, there is only madness, desolation, and thirst. Everything you need is here. Mother protects us. Mother sees to all our needs. To defy or to question Mother is to put all our lives at risk.
2. Rebels against the Government - You know each other only by code names. You’ve met each other only within the safety of illegal, anonymous networks. You can only hope and trust that they are loyal to your cause, and that none of this is a trap.
3. Re-education - Once, you questioned. Once, you doubted. You know this, but you have learned of your folly. The Ludovico technique of aversion therapy is unparalleled at rehabilitating criminals. Traitors. So-called ‘free-thinkers’. You’re better now. Isn’t it wonderful, to be a productive and unquestioning member of society?
4. The Ministry of Culture - Art is lies, and lies are forbidden. Love is treachery, and treachery is forbidden. Sex is deviance, and deviance is punishable by death. History is regression, and regression is a crime. Music is rebellion, and rebellion is intolerable. Any citizens found in possession of deviant and false publications will be punished.
5. Population Control - Resources are finite. There are too many mouths to feed and not enough arable land. Which is why you have been chosen to be culled. Only the strongest, the smartest, and the most resourceful are needed in the new society. One person from your group will be permitted to survive and to return to society, richly rewarded. Everyone else must die. Weapons are right over there.
6. WILDCARD

Elektra Natchios | Netflix Marvel

[tamethatfire]

[OOC: Agent/spy from a nation outside the wall ruled by anarchistic principles (like in Aeon Flux - the cartoon, not the movie). Main objective is to recruit more followers in order to overthrow the totalitarian regime.

Scenarios:

1. playing a cat-and-mouse game with someone high-ranking in the government. Have known each other for years, don't see eye-to-eye, but haven't been able to kill the other one yet.

2. Your pup fell for her propaganda song of freedom and self-government and is one of her inside sources now.

3. She's on a mission to kill someone, your pup's either assisting or trying to stop her.]

Billy Russo | The Punisher (Netflix)

[pluscachange]

[OOC: enforcer type (à la Altered Carbon CTAC officer, Equilibrium Cleric etc.); comfortable with his role and place in the world, might not fully buy into the propaganda but doesn't care enough to do anything against it.

What I'm interested in:

- Billy being a government agent infiltrating the Rebel operations
- Billy being exposed as a government agent, questioned and tortured
- Billy and fellow government enforcer on a mission for the Ministry of Culture
- Billy making nice with a free-thinker/rebellious element in order to get to the rebel puppet masters

Basically Billy, cold lizardboy that he is, is thriving in this kind of environment and has no interest in changing anything. Open to brainstorming, mixing/matching options.]

Donquixote "Corazón" Rosinante | One Piece | OTA

[callada]

((Down for anything, but more possibilities in case it inspires some ideas:

- military agent with a heart of gold who might just be convinced to provide shelter or mercy when he probably was told not to

- known member of a gang/smuggling ring/criminal group, actually government mole

- actual smuggler - but of things like food, medication, music, and toys for children and families in need))

Caedra Nisariel | OC | OTA

((honestly never expect obedience from a demon, she's probably half the reason the world is in this terrible state now))

[theweakhavepurpose]

[The Project at Eden's Gate might try their hardest to stamp out the resistance in Hope County, and eventually the rest of Montana, but there will always be pockets of fighters around. People who used to respect Pratt as a Deputy and a force of the law. But not anymore.

They'd shoot him on sight if he got too close, and the cultists aren't exactly happy to have him around either. They're grudgingly not killing him because he's Jacob's pet, a human reduced to a tool. Treated like a dog and sicced on those who dare to go against Jacob's doctrine.

Pratt's spirit isn't broken, but it's close, he's tried to escape so many times that this last reprogramming in the chair was aggressive enough to even have Jacob slightly concerned he may have gone too far this time. Not that he cared, but he didn't want to break his toys before he was done using them.

Pratt is awkwardly standing far back behind the front lines of a small skirmish, looking like he might be trying to escape again. He's got plenty of opportunity, but something is keeping him there.]

[sumashu]

[ imagine a world where the villains have taken over: maybe All Might didn't survive his first/second/etc fight with All For One, or maybe he did but the loss of the symbol of peace turned the world upside down. heroes (& students) are in hiding, and evil runs the show. maybe there's an underground resistance network a la Dumbledore's Army. feel free to throw any and all ideas at me! ]

[burninghands]

[ooc: Could go either way as far as allegiances, but likely working for The Man. Deeply loyal to whatever master he's chosen to serve.]

[chronosoldier]

[This is basically his canon already. He's with the Resistance either way, but whether The Man is human or machine is up to you.]

Techie | Dredd | OTA

[clan_techie]

[5 is sorta canon, as is 1, and re-education is only technically what Ma-Ma did. He'd be a good rebellion ally, though, whatever the case.]
