((This will take place in the main city))

They watch you. They watch you live. They take away from you. They robbed you of your emotions. Your thoughts. You are obedient to them.......The Equilibrium

[Back Story]

First it only started with one small law being implied. The No Sensibility Law. A law that restricted feeling. Emotions. No one thought much of it. Until it grew. It all started in 2022, in the midst of World War 3.5, the most devastating and bloodiest war ever recorded. Politicians began to grow. Criticism towards the United States began to rise and become harsher. But that was only on the edges and outside of the country. On the inside however, chaos was tapping its foot. Rampages occurred every single day, and ruthless killings started. It took 12 entire years for everything to calm down.

In the year of 2034, that law had become the last hope and had weighed heavily on the country. Thats when the governments of the world finally decided to come together and form the Ultimate Super Powered Government (USPG) , the Equilibrium. The No Sensibility Law spread like wild fire to the rest of the world. The Equilibrium began to become more strict as opposing resistance groups began to question their authority. That's when things were taken further. The Equilibrium began to realize that as long as "lower" world people had the ability to think, they would continue to retaliate. In fear of being miraculously over thrown, they put down a law that allowed them to strip citizens of the ability to create thought patterns that would lead to ideas and structure higher ways of thinking. And they did it all with just one dose to numb the pain, and a painful insert. An insert that was known as a Bionic Invert Spine. This allowed them to insert a visible and highly mechanical visible spine onto the backs of the citizens. Along with that insert, there was a second insertion that was called a Subatomic Memory Chip, which would allow them to save data of history and educations instead of thinking at all.

By year 2052, they found that it was not enough, for there were many who refused the newly created dose that allowed a firmer restriction on emotion. Many who found love and friendship. Many who still had feelings and emotions. The Equilibrium became disgusted and enraged. They were fumed and edged to the point that they ensured themselves that they were going to create a solution. A that, they did. The Thought Police, or TP came into action. The TP's duty and task was to enforce the law upon citizens with force if need be. And from there, they began to branch out and more duties were created.
-----------------
Year 2072:
A world without emotion. Where obedience and loyalty are highly encouraged. Everything regarding emotion, or that stimulates emotion has been banned. Books, paintings, drawings, music players, everything of that matter is burned away when found. There are no such thing as cartoons for children in this style of totalitarian government. Instead, they watch obedience and law videos. It wouldn't matter what you would thought about it, because according to the Equalizers, you're not allowed to think at all. Just do. Out of instinct, and sub-consciousness. You are dosed/injected daily with a substance called Prozillium Entocide, which suppresses any and all emotions. Even the thought of feeling. Anyone caught not taking their doses daily will be given two options. Return to the scheduled doses, or die. Child or Adult. Simple as that. What would you feel for them? Pity? Anger? Sadness? Sorrow? No. None of that. You dont feel anything. You've been restricted from yourself. This is the future. Or is it? There are secretly pending organizations that hide within the twisted society of the Equilibrium, and encourage the exact opposite. They call themselves, The Variance. They touch. They can feel. They can express. They can.......think. There are many secrets that need to be uncovered and an entire nation to be cured. What will you do in the world of the Equilibrium?
---------------------

Ok so, here's some things we're going to have to know.
------
[The Equilibrium]
The Equilibrium is every nation and country put together into an ultimate power of authority. Minus Europe, France, Germany, and Russia. They were the only nations that did not allow the No Sensibility Law. And for that, they were punished with constant war from the Equilibrium's combined forces. In the year of 2032, the Equilibrium was originally created to bring peace among nations and end War War 3.5, but in the end, it transformed into something that the governments of all the other states in the entire world found more.......suitable for world. Meaning them. Their first intentions of restricting emotion felt because of the simple fact that they had to many revolts against them. It took them a year and a half to fully enforce the No Sensibility Law. Yet, it still wasnt enough for them. They became frantic and uneasy at the thought of them being over thrown, and that's when they decided to add more force to their doings, and the Thought Police was created
.
-------------------------------------
[The Thought and Police]
Created in 2052, the Thought Police raided and expanded across the world to enforce the policies of the Equilibrium. They are authorized and have the full right to use force to enforce their rule of the public. They stand guards in the Pharmancea, to make sure that citizens are getting their doses Prozillium Entocide and taking them as scheduled. In 2054 however, a raid by a resistance group that called themselves Retalliation killed over 3000 of them. This happened because though the Thought Police were large in numbers, their dispatching forces and ways of working were disorganized and rather sloppy. Which led to separate branches being created.

-------------------------------------
[Prozillium Entocide]
After the first few created doses (Equillium Ozine, Prollium Codine, Ixeriel Adime), were in the form of a pill and easily threw away, this stronger injection version under surveillance was created. This particular dose pertains all of the other doses combined, along with a small drop of liquid helium. Every person under the eyes of the Equilibrium are under this prescription 24-7 until there next dose. These doses can either be taken at home or at the Prozillium Pharmancea, where they can also be replenished if need be.This was created to stop any thought of emotion or thoughts at all, which added the non-benefactor of the citizens lacking the ability to sleep. Instead this leaves them laying on a plain colorless bed staring at the ceiling when the time that people would usually sleep came. On top that, the injection of this substance prevents anything that lack of sleep might cause, though it has the side effect of turning the color of eyes into a dull grey. It numbs nerves and all. Some people dont even know what warm or cold is because of these doses.

-------------------------------------
[Bionic Invert Spines and Subatomic Memory Chips]
The Bionic Invert Spines were created by Equilibrium Technician/Professor Ronald Ferdinand. This technology is surgically latched to the spines on the outside of the body and had a structure more than sturdy to prevent any damage possible. These spines have very small slots at the beginning of them which allows the insertion of the Subatomic Memory Chip, or SMC. The SMC creates artificial but real, information and data that allows citizens to have and gain "proper" intelligence through electronic memory. Children do not have these until they are atleast 13, however, the ways that they are taught and raised are extremely strict and they still are injected with doses of Prozillium Entocide, even as infants.

------------------------------------
[Education of Obedience]
The Education of Obedience and loyalty among all citizens and human beings towards the Equilibrium is for most, essential. It is a standard of living. This is one of the few educations that are not provided with the SMC, and is especially used for children since they dont have the BIS or SMC. In the process of the Education of Obedience, a television like screen will be provided. It is set to where it can neither be turned on or off by anyone by the Equilibrium workers that are in charge of that position. A video will be played where they will learn the laws and restrictions first. Then those same laws and restrictions will be repeated numerous times until it is driven into the viewers mind as a very minuscule part of conscious. Then everything will be taken step by step, and repeated the exact same way, numerous times. This video is authorized to be watched three times a day.

------------------------------------
[The Double Think Policy]

The keyword here is blackwhite. Like so many Branch of Peace spoken words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. This demands a continuous alteration of the past, made possible by the system of thought which really embraces all the rest, and which is known in Newspeak as doublethink. Doublethink is basically the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.

---------------------------------------
[Housing Standards and the Equilibrium Department of Urban Living]
The Equilibrium Department of Urban Living (EDUL) contributes to building and preserving healthy neighborhoods and communities by maintaining and expanding homeownership and rental housing opportunities and stabilizing credit markets in times of economic disruption. They make sure that everything is plain. Plain white, from floors to walls to ceilings and beds. While you're away, they come by and check that there are no influential and or emotion stimulating materials or objects of any sort in your home. And they do check daily.
------------------------------------

[Credits]
Paper money is no longer in existence. Now finances are ran through credits, which can be scanned through the eyes alone. Amazing isnt it? Credits are gained at the end of occupations every week or so. Like $ is the sign for cash, § is the sign for credits.

------------------------------------

[Gun Kata]
Gun Kata is a gun-wielding martial art discipline. It is based on the premise that, given the positions of the participants in a gun battle, all trajectories of fire are statistically predictable. By memorizing the positions, one can fire at the most likely location of an enemy without aiming at him in the traditional sense. By the same token, the trajectories of incoming fire are also statistically predictable, so by assuming the appropriate stance, one can keep clear of the most likely path of enemy bullets.

----------------------------------

Branches of the Thought and Sense Police:

Branch of Peace:
Ironically, The Branch of Peace supports the Equilibrium's perpetual war.
The primary aim of modern warfare (in accordance with the principles of doublethink) is to use up the products of the other cities without raising the general standard of living. The problem of what to do with the surplus of consumption goods has been latent in industrial society. At present, when few human beings even have enough to eat, this problem is obviously not urgent since the people under the control of the Equilibrium dont feel hunger either. But they still need food.

Branch of Plenty:
The Branch of Plenty rations and controls food, goods, and domestic production; every city and country/continent. Unlike the other branches, this branch is the only one that had speakers for its particular field of work. The Commanding Speaker for this branch announces false claims of having raised the standard of living, when it has, in fact, reduced rations, availability, and production. The 2nd in Speaking substantiates the Commanding Speaker's claims by revising historical records to report numbers supporting the current, "increased rations".

Branch of Truth:
The Ministry of Truth controls information, "rectifying" historical records to concord with current pronouncements, thus everything the Branch of Peace says is true.

Branch of Punishment:
The Branch of Punishment identifies, monitors, arrests, and converts real and imagined dissidents. They find anyone within the walls of their city who are rendered as a "Sense Miscreant." The dissident or miscreant has the option to either convert to, or back to the standards of the Equilibrium. If they choose not to, the dissident or miscreant is beaten and tortured, then, when near-broken, is sent to Room 101 to be injected with the C09, which will cause the hallucinations of their first fears. This hallucinogen is so close to reality goes as far as having actual pain as a part of it. Though it is highly unlikely, if the dissident or miscreant still refuses to convert, then they will be publicly executed.
If the offense deals with the emotion of love, then the lovers will be tortured until they hate each other, then executed.

TSP (The Thought and Sense Police):
There the ones who put names and files and scan the eyes. They also transfer credits. This small branch is usually found in offices or as security guards in the Prozillium Pharmancea.

Novice Elite TP Force:
This Novice force are the everyday forces that find and combat uprising resistance forces and the Variance. They are fairly exceptional at hand to hand combat and have a decent amount of strict training with their firearms. They also have automatic permits to search homes if they find the need to. The keep close eyes on the citizens more often. They are trained to tell if someone has the ability to think or feel. They have a normal cops uniform but with N.E Thought Police on the back of their attire.

Branch of Special Force Clerics:
The Clerics are a special force that combats against the Variance in and outside of the walls. These highly trained and skilled forces use a firearm combating style known as Gat Kata. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically-predictable element. The Gat Kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents, while keeping the defender clear of the statistically-traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increased lethal proficiency makes the master of the Gat Kata an adversary not to be taken lightly. They are sent in when things get to rough for Novice Forces. Some are assigned to a specific force. Their uniforms are a solid black with a solid black trench coat like jacket.

Clerics Among the Wall (CAW):
These Clerics are not a skilled or strictly trained as the Special Force Clerics, but they still arent a force to recon with. They are highly trained in hand to hand combat like the special force clerics, but they do not hold the skill of the Gat Kata. Instead they have the Ha Kata, which is obtained through more than two thousand records of hand to hand combat fighting. These Clerics know every way possible to disable and kill an enemy from close range and mid range distances, and have the agility and speed to dodge bullets for a short amount of time.
------------------------------------

Places

The Prozillium Pharmancea:

The Prozillium Pharmancea was being build around the same time that the Prozillium Entocide was being created. This large dome like building sits near the centers of all major cities and downs, some not as big. This building contains the doses of Prozillium Entocide that are distributed out to the people.

The Wall:

Ever Wonder why no one has benable to escape anywhere? Well here's the answer. There is a 67 meter wall that surrounds every inhabited city. The main city's wall is roughly 79 meters. Anyone who leaves these walls to go to neighboring cities are checked to see if they've been taking their doses. IDs will be checked as well. Along with that you will be escorted by the CAW.

Room 101:

Though it is known as "Room" 101, it is actually a small empty building in which whoever is taken there is guaranteed to suffer.
