WARNING: RAPE / NON-CONSENSUAL SEX
It has been five years since Kuvira established the Earth Empire and reclaimed the United Republic of Nations. Korra was publicly executed and the search for the new Avatar was already underway.
Not long after Unification, Kuvira made slavery legal in the Earth Empire. The Fire Nation and the Water Tribe declared war almost immediately after the proclamation was made. Earth Empire forces successfully held off an invasion of their lands and a peace treaty had been signed after three years of conflict.
The slave population was made up of Empire dissenters and PoWs. Slaves are used for labor as well as for personal entertainment. Any citizen could own a slave if they could afford it. Most slaves were owned by those in power.
Jin Wei, a twenty-something Earth Empire loyalist, joined Kuvira's unification efforts in the early days and quickly rose through the ranks of the Empire. Today, he is Chief Inquisitor of the Silver Band, the spiritual successor of the now defunct Dai Li. As Chief Inquisitor, Jin oversees all reeducation camps in the Empire and leads the efforts of hunting down dissenters. The most renowned camp is located at Lake Laogai. The underground facility that once served the Dai Li was no longer a secret and operated in full purview of the world.
As an aside, my first account was "thedark0ne." That was years ago but I'm back and I don't remember the email I used for that. So, if you want to check out my old stuff that's cool.
Reviews and feedback super appreciated.
