Rated M for Mature Themes, Violence, Gore, Sexual Situations etc...

Nearly 90 years ago, the world erupted in war for what most felt, would be the final time. The threat of mutually assured destruction was not enough to stop the gears of war from lurching ever further forward. The Earth burned, most regions rendered uninhabitable, the global population decimated. In the 12 years that followed, the remnants of the population were gathered and organized under a single banner, Sauveterre. The current year is 78 AU, after unification. Sauveterre is lead by an oppressive regime, that on the surface celebrates the continued survival of the human race. There is no opposition. There is but one government, one world, one people. The fight for freedom comes at a high price, rebellion is only met with death.

Character Information:

Spoiler: MJRN-870 

Official Record: Publicas MJRN-870 was born in the glorious year 51 AU, youngest daughter to father Publicas MJRN-562, a worker at the state owned waste treatment facility, and mother Publicas MJRN-573, house cleaner for for a Civitas family. 870 has been assigned the same occupation for a well regarded Perfectas family. As members of the Publicas caste, she and her family members bear alpha numeric designations, not worthy of proper identity. They exist to ensure the State is in continual motion, they are neither to be seen nor heard.

Unofficial Record: Publicas MJRN-870 was born in the year 51 AU as Civitas Miranda Auxerre, youngest daughter to father, Civitas Procellarus Auxerre, a professor at the State University of the history of modern Sauveterre, and mother, Civitas Clotilde Auxerre, a state censor. Genevieve and her family were re-classified as Publicas following the execution of grandfather Aristarchus Auxerre in 70 AU for high treason. Aristarchus was rumoured to be smuggling classified information to rebel forces, whether or not this has any basis in fact remains unknown.

Before the family name was stricken from existence, the young Miranda was regarded as kind, generally jovial and particularly intelligent. She was known in her community for her beauty, kindness and wit. A decorated member of the State party youth program.

870 inhabits a tenement style apartment with her parents and siblings in the slum neighborhood known only as Mare Undarum, or Sea of Waves. Aptly named, as there is a permanent dampness everywhere in sight. Mare Undarum is the exclusive home of many of Sauveterre's Publicas population. While there is electricity, the residents mostly live in darkness due to the nature of routine rolling blackouts to ensure there is power a plenty for the higher castes. 870 awakens in darkness each morning, consumes her allotted morning ration. Physical contact between Publicas is strictly prohibited unless properly authorized. Oral and written communication between Publicas is discouraged.

870 is generally monitored, as there is concern that any resentment harbored for the change in caste may result in treasonous acts. It is suspected she may be a member of the resistance, but no evidence has been collected to support this. When in the home of the Perfectas family she serves, any and all mistakes are met with physically violent "correction.' The hours are long, and isolating.

Medical Note: 870 and siblings are generally in good health, and have been sterilized to ensure the treasonous family is terminated with their eventual deaths.

Following work, 870 returns to her squalid living conditions to consume the Daily Broadcast as is required. The Broadcast brings news of the day and tidings of the government. At periodic intervals 870 will disappear in the Publicas crowd during evening commute. Reports are unconfirmed by the Commission on Public Safety & State Security highly suspect that 870 is an important figure amongst the resistance movement.

Spoiler: STNN-810 

Official Record: Publicas STNN-810 was born in the wondrous year 52 AU, middle child of three to father Publicas STNN-659, a worker at the state-owned fire prevention facility, and mother Publicas STNN-667, cook and server at a Civitas restaurant. 810 has been assigned the occupation of janitor at a Civitas education facility. Though 810 has an equivalent alphanumeric designation as any other member of the Publicas caste, he responds when referred to by his number in a positive manner. While unusual, this is generally regarded as positive behavior, a model for less obedient members of the Publicas caste to follow.

Unofficial record: Publicas STNN-810 was found as a young child outside of Suaveterre territory wandering around beside its border walls. Taken in by peacekeeping units, this child's name or alphanumeric designation were unable to be found. The child had been found wearing clothes typical of Civitas, yet in unacceptable condition. As such, exact birthdate and caste were deemed to be unknown. Under Suaveterre regulations, persons whose caste and record cannot be found are reclassified as Publicas. Given the child's youth, he was assigned to a Publicas unit that was still beneath the maximum allowed number of children. This is considered a highly unusual situation, as no case of a lost identity have been recorded in previous Suaveterre history, but STNN-810 is generally considered to be harmless and a typical producing member of the Publicas caste.

810 inhabits a tenement-style apartment with his parents and siblings in Mare Undarum, but has been observed sleeping outdoors on multiple occasions. This behavior has been deemed unusual, but harmless. 810 remains distant from the rest of his family unit, but will participate in the daily consumption of rations and the Daily Broadcast with them as required. While verbal and written communication between Publicas is discouraged, 810 tends to disregard this unofficial ruling. His attempts to communicate are often rebuffed.

810 is considered a generally model citizen of Publicas, though his tendency to speak out of turn while working at his occupation has resulted in "correction" from the Civitas who manages him ranging from verbal to physical with negligible results. Stronger reprimands may be considered in future. A single investigation was conducted into 810's conduct with the disappearance of a shovel from the education facility, but no conclusive proof was found linking 810 to said shovel, and the investigation was dropped. 810 is often observed with baggy eyes, denoting lack of sleep. This may be connected to the behavior of sleeping outdoors, though this is determined to be trivial and no investigation is warranted at this time. 810's circumstances have been requested to be studied by Civitas recordkeepers but have been denied at this time by Suaveterre officials, as such information is considered both classified and also unimportant to Suaveterre history.
