It is 2021 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and if you thought things were bad a few years ago you'd better get the hell out while you still can.

A number of years ago a bomb went off in Toronto and there was an estimated 4,000 deaths. During the election a party, who previously had been accused of being fascist, gained majority in the Canadian parliament and got their party leader elected Prime Minister by abusing the public's fear and promising to make everyone safe. When they took over, in an attempt to prove they were capable of keeping their promise, they placed surveillance cameras on every street corner in Toronto, replaced the police forces of Canada with the new Federal Enforcement Agency (FEA), enacted a public curfew and gave the FEA the power to perform previously unlawful searches and seizures of personal property without a warrant from a judge among other previously unlawful powers.

The resistance began with protests, which were quickly squashed when the FEA openly beat protesters and used lethal firearms on "dangerous anarchist elements". When the party's opposition attempted to point out these blatant abuses of power the party used the public's fear against their enemies, stating that the CSIS had brought forth information that the party's tactics were working and that, at the first sign of weakness, another, larger bomb would be placed in Toronto again. The public again voted on the side of fascism, citing concern for their children's safety among other things. The FEA and their handlers in the government had been given a free pass to do whatever they wanted to the Canadian people.

The reign of the FEA had become the new normal for Canada.

In the coming years a group of people calling themselves "the Free" have taken to the streets. This group of people have been destroying or otherwise damaging security cameras, spraying anti-fascist graffiti on public buildings and assaulting FEA officers and destroying their property. The Free don black bandannas with the statement "I AM FREE" painted on them by night and often carry backpacks full of technically illegal items such as spray paint, bolt cutters, crowbars and other items that could be used to destroy or deface cameras and other government property. As it stands the Free have no central authority or leadership, they are simply a group of anarchists protesting the fascist takeover of Canada through violence. This is quickly changing as a number of members of the Free have begun trying to be more constructive with their protesting by spraying messages to the public and performing acts that will hinder the FEA in any way they can think of.
Faction Info



Plot

The plot of this RP is simple, we play as members of the Free and try to win over the public and start a revolution. There will be internal conflicts within the Free's growing organization between groups that think they should fight the FEA with the same level of brutality that is being handed to them and groups that think doing so will make the public afraid of them and only increase public support of the FEA. The FEA, however, have no such struggles, they kill the Free wherever they find them, claiming that they are terrorists, and have no second thoughts about doing so.
