anyway the rough idea is the mc is part of country with severe inequality due to the country being invaded and taken over by a foreign power years before the plot begins
[11:56 AM]
mc being part of that repressed population and eventually joins a band of freedom fighters to resist the larger country (i know, very original)
[11:57 AM]
eventually meets up with the like official rebellion group, and works on the tasks they provide to them until the group realizes some of these missions are suspect in nature at best
[11:58 AM]
and seem to involve things that wouldn't help them at all, like kidnapping the dictators children and killing them
[11:58 AM]
and mc now realizes that there are 2 problems now; the foreign power is a clear problem because they're repressing the country, but the rebellion has morphed into some kind of crazed movement hinged on a scorched earth eradication-style
