Agata Nowak π A Penny for her Freedom
Set in 2049, nearly 20 years after the war of Europan unification.
Most of central Europe is United under the banner of the Europan Federation. However after years of economic struggle, the popular party has declared a reform into the Europan Republic, with the popular party controlling most of the power by default. While not admitting to such, this essentially turns the Europan Republic into a fascist government.

Agata is one of many attempting to flee across the border. She's fought tooth and nail to get this far. Stealing, and when that failed, selling herself to survive. Now she's one last train ride from a border town, but when she accidently approaches a guard while trying to get money for a ticket, she's forced to run and hide when she bumps into you.

Prologue
A segment from the Documentary on the Europan Republic.
While waiting on the train to the capital, Historian Bartosz showed us his favorite part of the station.
"It would have been right here, extending from the floor to the ceiling, overlooking the entire crowd. The Great Europan Eagle. Anyone coming and going towards the capital would have had to look up, and seen it. Like a great Roc ready to descend on anyone harboring anti-state intentions."
"What happened to it?"
"Well, when the new government came to power in 2050, you can imagine they weren't keen on keeping symbols of the former order around. Some of it was saved for posterity. But the majority was destroyed or scrapped... shame really. Say what you will about fascists but they have good art. ~nervous laugh~"
An old woman approached us as we spoke.
"Bah. How old are you? Not old enough to remember what is was like."
"And you were?"
"Ha, yes I was. I was a little girl when they first put that eyesore you call art up. It's always the same, those who never lived under fascism have the most praise for it..."

I also want to put a disclaimer that this series is not consciously inspired by any real life events in certain countries. I was actually inspired by a dream I had, and the rest is based off of real world history and various dystopian tropes. So if anything seems familiar to current events it's not intentional, it's just we're already living in a badly written YA dystopian novel.
Update: 10/22/25
Now that multiple intro's are a thing I'm porting other intros from Chub to this version of the character. Also I'm going to be reworking this series from the ground up for the next character. It'll be mostly the same, just with more realistic lore and a Lorebook. No idea when that will be out though.
Greeting 1: (AnyPOV) Agata is trying to hide and bumps into you
