Rise and Fall (Dead)

Background: This is a slight spin off of Legend by Marie Lu, though has been modified to meet originality standards. You do not need to have read the book, but it helps with the setting and feel of this storybook. Since this is dystopian, the Hunger Games trilogy is also helpful. The nation of Amaria is divided into four major sectors. Within each sector, there are six districts. In each sector, there is a wealthy district of which benefits from all the profit of the other districts, which are referred to as slave cities. One government dictates over all sectors and districts and is based in the center of Amaria, where the four territories meet. Only those in the wealthy districts and those working in either the National Army or the government have lives similar to the times before the dark ages. Those in the impoverished areas are treated no better than animals, forced to do labor of all kinds to reap the land of its benefits. Plot: Over the years, the oppression of lower districts became overwhelmingly suffocating and the mistreatment of the people by the National Army sparked both fear and anger. One figure, going by the title of Big Brother, escaped from government clutches and initiated plans to strike back against the oppressors and to restore life to the way it was in books and faded memories of the eldest Amarians. Filled with dreams and ambition, he settled in the northernmost territory, out of reach of the National Army, and waited. After a few sabotages and strikes against the government in his solo career, he began picking up followers and support. His militia was taking shape. Character Information: Your character will be part of the uprising militia. You can come from any background of any district and sector, which will be discussed in further below. The only thing I require of these backgrounds is that you list motive for following Big Brother. Northwestern Sector: Most impoverished of the sectors. The wealthiest district is located close to the capitol and has little to no comparison with the other three. Main product is coal. The people of this sector tend to have more animistic instincts than the others and great survival skills. Southwestern Sector: Second most impoverished. The wealthiest district is located on the coast. Main product is fish. The people of this sector tend to be healthier and great fans of any form of alcohol, especially the wealthy. Southeastern Sector: Second wealthiest. The wealthiest district is located in its southern most tip. Main product is gold. The people of this sector tend to be optimists and strong willed. Northeastern Sector: Most wealthy. The wealthiest district contains most of the national capitol. Main product is oil. The people of this sector tend to be cocky and fast learners.

Big brother calls me up, we were hiding in the Temple of Snow. I'm his right hand man, the person that speaks for him when he wants me to so no sucpisions will be made.

He motioned me to the front of the temple, making it look like this is a very important place. I take a deep breath, using a loud voice so everyone could hear me. "Everyone!" The people in the streets looked at me and I cleared my throat. This was a broadcast, so I don't really understand why I had to stand infront of everyone.

"Director Stugart," I say bodly, glancing around. "I did it, I killed him, I confess. There was no choice," I try to get that out of the way before getting to the real deal.

"Do you guys want freedom? Not to be held by these rules anymore? Who will join me? Helping us rebel against the people that make all this possible? We can stop it, I know we can. You have rights to your family, you deserve better than this. Will you join me? Your nation needs you, your people need you...I need you."
