The year is 2057. America, for those who live outside, seems like nothing has changed. But those who live there know better.
In the year 2057, America has changed.
The current President is more like a dictator.
And the American citizens have no privacy.
There is a video camera on every street. In every house. In every room. Everyone's job is decided at birth, along with who they will marry, and how many children they will have. They work 12 hours a day, every day, and do not go to school, instead being taught their job and only their job. So much of a mutter about treason or unhappiness with the government could get you killed. Everyone is rationed food, due to the rising population, because people are not allowed to leave the US.
In a country where people are everything but free, one group stands up against the government, called the Rebellion. They have connections, ways to take out cameras, and ways to meet without being caught. This group is now rising up across America. Nearly every city has a Rebellion group. And a Rebellion leader for each state.
But what happens when the founders, [insert number of people playing here] people who lead the Rebellion, get careless, and get captured? They are all tied up and gagged and blindfolded, thrown into a dark room to wait. Two days later, each of the leaders is interrogated, and given the choice to live and betray the Rebellion, or else. Each of the leaders chooses "or else". But, when they choose this, they don't come back to the room where the others wait. They are each thrown into a separate room. And the only people who know what goes on in those rooms, are the occupants. Cue the shudders.
The last leader, scared out of his/her wits, finally breaks and reveals the secrets of the Rebellion. He/she is set free, if you can call their way of life free. The rest were kept in the rooms for months, until finally being set free, and only then because they had connections. The Rebellion was broken up, and America went back to its life of misery, hopes crushed.
By a single Traitor.
It's been three years since then, and the old leaders of the Rebellion see signs of it rising again. Everything is there. Mysterious dissapearances from work. Absence from home. The leaders either choose to join the new Rebellion or stay in their miserable lives. But what if another Traitor rises? Better yet, no one knows who the traitor is. What if the traitor joins the New Rebellion?
All this is up to you.

Other: (optional)
My character(s):
Username: Kittycat97
Name: Zee Williams
Age: 21
Rebellion or Government: Rebellion
Were you part of the old Rebellion?: Yes
Appearance: Zee has short brown hair cut in a bob, and stands at 5'8" with a slim, curvy stature. She has a creamy, pale skintone from hours of indoor activities, and inquisitive green eyes. She can usually be found wearing the White House standard uniform, a navy skirt-suit and tie, spiced up a little with choice accessories. She isn't bursting with muscles, but isn't flabby or anorexic either. Zee can always be found with a smug or mischevious smile on her face.
Abilities or Attributes: Her father is the VP, and she excels in gymnastics and acrobatics
Job: The next VP
Fiancee/Spouse: Unknown. It is suspected that the "lucky man" is Kyle Baxby, the son of President Baxby and next in line for the "throne" of leadership of the US. I may make a character sheet for him later, but anyone is free to take his spot. PM me first with his profile, please.
Personality: Hotheaded and stubborn; loyal and compassionate; stands up for herself; outgoing
Bio: Zee's father was actually the founder of the old Rebellion. But once founded, her left it to his daughter to run it. So Zee was left to organize and recruit for the Rebellion. She was nearly fifteen when it actually started, and therefore scorned by other members because of her lack of age and therefore experience. But her leadership skills soon compensated for lack of experience.
The Rebellion continued for two years, due to Zee's father's special connnections. By then, every Rebellion leader's house had been de-bugged and made safe. But after those two years, she was captured along with the rest of the leaders and chose the "or else". Predictably, she was tortured beyond reason, but never revealed the secrets of the Rebellion.
She and the others got out of the interrogation center, thanks to her father, who had to work in secret for months to free them. Now, three years later, the Rebellion fell. But Zee's spirit wasn't broken, and against her father's orders Zee restarted the Rebellion, and is currently the leader of it.
Other: Zee was perhaps traumatized the most in the cold, dank rooms where the Rebellion leaders were kept. Though she doesn't show it, she has nightmares about it and feels scared sometimes. She also wears fingerless gloves that reach all the way up her arms, perhaps to cover something.
