For years the small island of Bahrain has been the home to what is for all intents and purposes a sectarian dictatorship. The Sunni royal family, underpinned by Sunni elites have long lorded over the Shia majority population of the island. To offset the higher birthrate of the Shia in Bahrain the government has ‘imported’ Sunni families from Jordan, Pakistan, Yemen and Palestine among others to offset demographics, and for the men to staff the security forces. In 2011 this reached new heights with the Bahraini uprising being crushed with the help of Saudi and Emirati security forces. But that was seven years ago.
The year is 2018, and developments have occurred in the region since then. The Islamic State has effectively been done with, after the Iraqi Army and the PMU took Mosul in May 2017 and the Syrian Army followed into Raqqa in August. Together with a peace deal in Yemen, it allowed Iran to shift its attention to a new front: Bahrain. The amount of weapons and explosives being smuggled in increased rapidly and a number of Bahraini citizens were trained abroad to lead an open revolt. In the summer of 2018, the time had come.
Good for you, Dutchbag. We read that intro. Get a move on you schmuck
Yeah, alright, alright...don't be mean. The intro may give you the wrong idea. We're not starting at the eve of demonstrations. We're starting in early 2018, with our characters still exchanging molotov cocktails and tear gas, being edgy on social media, going about their daily business and anywhere between organising the uprising and not being involved in it.
Rules and guidelines
-Godmodding is for people who have no place here.
-Mary Sues and Gary Stues are punishable by death through blunt trauma received by tear gas canisters directly hitting one.
-Normally you can have up to three characters, but I am willing to make an exception to this if you ask nicely.
-If I make a decision considering territorial control it is final, but if you're convincing enough (includes you, @Voltus_Ventus I may amend it and notify people.
-If you need your characters spiced up a bit and you wish to use my 'more than the average cat' knowledge on the Middle East for it, PM me what you have and we can talk.
-Conflicts between players are to be solved over PMs.

We're here, guys. Sheets in Chars tab. Also if you want a bloke in the BDF or police I might allow it, but PM me first.
