Thanatos (Than-uh-tos)
An Evil Government, who could have seen that coming?
Yes, I am using a trope that has been used time and time again but let me be honest, it's because if you think of a Government, one of your first thoughts is how evil or corrupt they are. "They protect us" Well, protecting people, abusing your people/power, discrimination running wild because of laws you put in, they all start to seem the same after a wild.
Now, was I talking about this Government or our Government?
It doesn't really matter because I'm going to be talking about the Thanatos Government from now on anyways.
So what is the Thanatos Government?
Well it's a corrupt evil Government, were you not listening before? Yeah, so it's an evil Government, not really much to it other than that.
Although...
Well, I guess it could be said that there is some other things like how all media from the past has been banned/outlawed which isn't good. Like I know I wouldn't be able to live in my own world because I would quote a movie or something, and probably get killed and referred to as a 'pollute'. Oh yeah, people who break the law are referred to as Pollutes, just so you know.
So what else does this Government do?
Well, they are able to decide when people live and when people die (insane right?) and when someone needs to die or follow their laws, they send out their handpicked groups known as Reapers.
Reapers, who or what are they? I hear you, probably not asking.
Well, Reapers are the Government's way of keeping people in line. You have your leader reapers, your mission reapers, your police reapers or the ones who broke the law and are on the run reapers.
But moving swiftly on, let's talk about control.
Like, how much control do they really have and where do they have it? Like is it only in the UK and USA or have they got Europe too?
Well, it's everywhere. They have control EVERYWHERE.
Now, please try to understand this is a fictional story/Government and if you can't do that, think of them like the Roman or British Empire.
Yes, they have control of the entire world.
Is that a good idea seeing as how many civil wars and uprisings are at risk of happening? Probably not but hey, all that matters is that they have power in the present. Someone else will have to deal with the future.
Now, I would like to state this before we keep going. The Reaperverse deals with time travel (Like a lot) so sometimes (Or most of the time) the timeline of events for the world are going to spilt off or change from what they where before.
I could say, they only had power in Europe or Asia. Someone messes with the timeline and BOOM! They have power over the entire world.
What I'm trying to say is, trust me but also, do not trust me at the same time. Understand? Good, I'm glad we're on the same page.
So, how evil of a Government are we talking?
Well, let's just say. It is pure chaos. And not the good kind.
People are forced to be 'normal', whatever that means and you could be an outcast or killed for something simple like, raising your voice a bit louder at a Reaper or someone with ties to the Government (Like rich people).
You want to be different, well too bad! That's deemed wrong now and if you wear something too bright, flashy, cute or even pastel, you are in with a chance of dying. Which is just great, isn't it? I'm lying to you, it isn't great and you should be able to understand that (Even if it's me over explaining a small joke).
What I'm trying to explain is, don't run or hide, don't try to join a resistance group, don't wear your new shirt with sequins or glitter on it, just be like everyone else, blend is and whatever you do, don't fight back.
It might be hard to stop yourself with all that anger building up but you have to understand, if you want to be alive and kicking, you have to show the Government that you aren't special, you aren't trying to be different. You have to show them that you blend in with the world and the society that they have made that they don't notice you, you're just a face in an endless crowd of people all wearing the same outfit and with their hair done up in the same hairstyle.
Just please do it.
I want you to be alive to watch as the sun rises up and down each day and each night, letting the time just tick by.
