Gladio in a modern setting.
Dio Aies

In the world of Paris 2100, the European Commonwealth is a deathly parinoid semi-democratic state. The major corporations who make their homes in europe are the real powers behind the throne, backing various politicians. One of the biggest fears ever since the refugee crisis of 2015-2020 is that of religion. While attacks occurred, by both native and foreign born extremist groups during the crisis. These extremists, along with shaking global markets, the US/China war, and global climate change were blamed for the fall of the old EU.
In it's place has risen the E.C. a highly conservative Republican government based upon the ideas of pan-euro nationalism.

Sleek cities of white glass replaced old monuments and structures in a neo-modern style. Cameras and advanced forms of surveillance are the order of the day. All electronic communications are monitored. With the EC forever fearing the rise of "Terrorists" and "Extremists" socity is calm, corporate, cold, and terrified of each other.
To live in such times is to be forced to watch your words, lest someone take offence, and call the office of social harmony. Social deviancy is at an all time low, people are happy, content, if you feel bad. just take your hormonal suppression medication.

In the cracks of this supposedly perfect system lurk the New Roma, New Gypsies, people displaced during the fall of the EU. Traveling the back roads and the under-cities where culture still thrives. In the depths and the back alleys the chants of the great faiths still echo, a hundred cultures blend and mix. In the catacombs and under ancient bridges debate chambers ring with passionate voices arguing a million truths.

It was into this world that Dio Aies was born. To the Office of Social Harmony, he's just another hoodie wearing punk spraying ugly glyphs nobody understands, and causing unrest with un-sanctioned paintings. Responsible for the aggravated assault of EC personel and undue distress to citizens. Spreading disharmony through old writings and old ideas.
Unclaimed Son of (citizen 21341Nor) and (Citizen 372923ju) likely to die of genetic deformity at birth... which makes it strange. As according to Harmony Doctrine Interbreeding between ethnic groups leads to stillbirth...

To the underground he's an artist, a graduate of the brutal schools of combative philosophy, and an observer of the Blue Catholic Doctrines. One of the Twelve faiths. Beloved child of Martha Aies and Josief Aienbech. Raised by Plato-phi, Bishop of the Blue Cathloic Dioces, and annoyingly smart as a result.
