The Movement

An organisation described by the poor as a proud protest movement, and by the rich as a violent, noisome terrorist group.

Lore
'The Movement' as it is generally referred to was founded by Arthur Orwell. The story goes that shortly after Arthur was fired from his job at Shuvalov Incorporated due to refusing to work over hours without pay he went down into the No Sleep Club initially just to get a drink however ended up standing on a table where he delivered a speech detailing the corruption of the mega - rich in the City of Acropolis. He extolled the insolence and impudencies of business owners who rule the city. After an hour of vigorous speech Arthur left the club with about 13 other men and women who impetuously began throwing bricks towards the ARES Industries office in Little Japan, inciting a riot. The Acropolis Police Department responded quickly, arresting 10 people who were there, including Arthur.

Rumours spread quickly in the lower class districts, the riot, and Arthur's arrest in particular were exaggerated in no time. The rumour said the policemen who were arresting Arthur and his fellow rioters were beaten to a pulp and tortured in their cells. Arthur saw nothing but opportunity, he took his chance and wrote a book he named; "Enthralment". The book serves as the Manifesto for The Movement to this day.

Arthur served his time in prison, returning to Slavtown where he lived in december of 2080. To his surprise there were people waiting for him, holding his book in their hands, asking him if they could join his protest.

From that moment on The Movement grew to what it is today, they frequently organise protests, riots and propaganda campaigns. Perhaps Acropolis will soon belong to the people, rather than its current corporate overlords?
