mechanimated
VP of the Questionable Ethics Committee
eyyy so very first thing, I'm in finals week right now so if you're interested in this plot we won't be able to start until at least after my test on monday. cool? cool. im just posting this now in case i forget.
blah blah literacy long posts grammar give me material to work with typical rules i dont need a reply every single day its chill etc etc et al
this RP is intended to be all gritty and dark and shite, so if you have an issue with that pls do not respond you and i will both be unhappy.
THE PLOT ITSELF:
the setting is a modern/realistic country. the time period can be anywhere from the 1900s to 2050 or so, as you prefer. the government is highly controlling and dictatorial due to an outbreak of a severe pandemic ~30 years prior to the time of the RP. in order to protect citizens within the country, the government began to take extreme measures with anyone attempting to enter, smuggle in goods, or suspected of being sick. despite the eradication of the disease ~10 years ago, the culture of fascism persisted. much of the world population is dead, and there is constant fear of a resurgence in the disease. government sanctions had long since expanded beyond mere travel and material trade. by creating a culture of isolationism, the government indirectly discouraged the public from even desiring contact with the outside world, instead focusing on creating a powerful militaristic monolith apart from the rest of the world. in many ways, these methods worked. much like sparta, the citizens were trained to be skilled combatants, loyal, and highly nationalistic. the people themselves, seeing the effectiveness of such strategies at keeping out the dreaded disease, fervently work to support their government in its restrictive measures. propaganda, secret police, and cutthroat efficiency abound.
our characters are coworkers, in a way. one is a high-ranking intelligence officer, the other an important politician. the former is somewhat suspicious of the latter, but the latter is protected to some degree by their position and reputation. one evening, at a fancy hob-nob for the upper crust, the intelligence officer finally catches the politician red-handed - doing whatever. smuggling, trafficking drugs, etc doesnt matter. instead of turning them in, the intelligence officer begins to blackmail the politician, curious after a lifetime of highly controlled behaviour about the criminal element. the politician, desperate to avoid one of the cruel prisons - or worse - is grudgingly forced to give the officer whatever they want, be it money, drugs, power, pushing laws, and so on.
who plays which character is whatever, genders are whatever, offer edits if you want i'm cool about it
