PERVERSE EXPECTATIONS EBOOK OUT NOW
Maumelle Callaghan
President of Ireland
During Allele's take over of Britain, it was clear to the Republic of Ireland that a danger was growing. Controlled by dictator, Riley cartwright, Ireland had no guarantee that the new government would uphold the agreements already in place between the two nations. Despite this, the president of Ireland at the time, Evelyn Callaghan, promised her country that they would stand by their history of being neutral.
During the first few years of the new Allele-ruled Britain, it seemed as though neutrality was the right method of approach. However, Callaghan's daughter, Maumelle, a budding young teen and political advocator, thought otherwise. Maumelle believed that Ireland should join Britain in their war against Scotland, making them allies. Before, as she alleged, they become enemies. In Callaghan's own eye, the story was entirely different. She ignored her daughter's political conspiracies.
Maumelle had a long awaited for an opportunity to get her away from her mother, but Ireland was Maumelle's home as much as it were hers, so she had little desire to leave it all behind. One day, past her 18th birthday, Maumelle realised that she'd been looking at it all wrong. She shouldn't be trying to convince Callaghan or plead with her, nor preparing to remove herself from her mothers life; she should be removing her mother from her life, and, from Ireland.
It was during these days of peace in Ireland that tragedy struck. During one of Callaghan's talks with the press, she was shot down by an assassin. Her daughter, Maumelle, was safely escorted away.
Amongst the aftermath of her mothers funeral, Maumelle pleaded with the state to let her take over her mothers role as President. The girl had proved she was more than experienced for the role.
In an act of solidarity, the other candidates running froze their campaigns, giving Maumelle an easy path to President. Now standing exactly where her mother stood, Maumelle will approach Riley cartwright, the dictator of Britain with an offer - and at this moment, nobody knows what is it that Maumelle has to give.
Scotland
Lian
Lian, like many other Scottish nationals, has been living in fear since Allele took over the British government 10 years ago.
Allele made it clear from the beginning that their priorities lay within strengthening Britain, and had little care for the other countries under the United Kingdom. Scotland, being the second largest country of the UK, was the most at risk.
Initially from Edinburgh, Lian was a good son to the local church minister. He enjoyed how his work made other people happy, and all the little problems he could fix to make other people’s lives better.
But there was a limit to how much Lian could be good, and moral, and pure. Lian wasn’t entirely perfect, and a second part of him that was only visible at night was kept secret from his family.
He attempted to keep his family away from his work by moving far away to London, but as it always does, the secret came out -
and Lian was cut off from his parents and siblings. Losing his place in his family home.
Now alone in a city that isn’t safe, Lian plans to make the journey back home to Scotland to enlist in the military - a small, but necessary regiment that began soon after Allele took power, to offer some peace of mind to the Scottish public. Though there are freedom fighter groups forming in London, and all over Britain against Allele, Lian’s priority is with his own country.
With the assassination of the Irish president all over the news, there are rumours the running candidate has plans for Southern Ireland regarding Allele, and Lian worries if these plans concern Ireland’s solidarity with Scotland.
He knows there’s a bigger conflict around the corner- he just has to decide how he can help stop it. Whether that’s risking his life spying for the freedom fighters in London, or running back home to fight with the Scots.
