WELCOME

The year is 2192.

The country is the United States.

The current regime, The Trust, has been in power for over one hundred years.

The Trust takes care of you from cradle to grave--they provide you with housing, education, jobs, vehicles--but, in exchange, they control everything about your life. What color car you will drive. Where you will live. And, most important of all: who you will marry and how many children you will have.

Do you fight them or favor them?

History

To be born is to be assigned a debt that can never be paid - the debt of life, owed to one's parents for being brought into existence. From that first moment, life has been a series of mounting debts and obstacles for Jin Kim, a life measured by furious attempts to pay them off. Competition was a core value in the Kim household, alongside courtesy, composure, and success at all costs. Jin's siblings, an older and younger sister, were pressed to be ideal candidates for the draft: his older sister was drafted at eighteen, and his younger sister was shamed for being drafted at nineteen. His mother was quiet and deferential. Jin's father never raised his voice, but he didn't need to. Scorn was enough of a weapon.

What was the purpose of life? To serve one's family and one's society, of course. What gave a person value? What they knew, and what they could accomplish.

With this in his heart, Jin was obsessively studious in school, though he did not slouch on his physical fitness. Though he was not overtly rude to his fellow students, he never seemed to entirely trust them, instead viewing them all as potential competition. This attitude calcified when other, more dangerous feelings towards his fellows arose in high school – feelings that were the ultimate disservice to family and society. Jin invested even more deeply in his studies.

It was good luck that blessed him with an aptitude for medicine and the sciences, giving him the opportunity to obsess over molecules and mu-receptors for years, giving his mind something to gnaw on. Sponsorship and marriage were societal obligations – obligations to be carried out with optimism and deference, without revealing any shred of doubt or discomfort. Jin holds no grudge against his wife, though he remains distant from her. Having fulfilled the duty of the draft, his mind again turned to work. Jin spends his days as the head pharmacist of the local hospital, doling out pills and measuring their doses, wishing people wellness he doesn’t feel he has himself.

As long as he kept his mind occupied, he didn’t have to think about his life, or the Trust, or the sense of unfreedom and wrongness that plagues him. To even imagine rebellion would be, in Jin Kim’s mind, to imagine death. He does not want to die – but the days are long, living under that mountain of relentless, unforgivable debt.
