Athenians
In the new world, the Athenians are a brainwashed generation of humanity who have been convinced of a false sense of happiness in the confines of the walls.
Athenians resemble humans from the early 2900's, and unlike the Remnants, live their lives in relative comfort under the governing of Advance Tech Industries. The population are unaware of the extent of ATHENAs secret rule over Athens, and live out jobsworthy lives, in order to make a living in what they perceive to be the real world. The Athenians are policed by A.T.I Officers, and menial tasks such as employment and commerce are handled by the several Deity Sub-Systems.
Biology & Psychology
Athenians have lived their lives in relative comfort, and this has created small physiological changes in the population of the last 100 years. The people of Athens have become slightly physically weaker over time, as physical strength is not a requirement to survive inside the walls. As a result of this, the people of Athens vary in shape and size. They have diminished immune systems, due to the advances of medicine doing the work instead of their own bodies. Athenians and Athenian social structure has stayed largely the same over the 100-year winter, adopting commercialized, pseudo-capitalist structures as a means of pacifying the people. Materialism is a quality shared in a vast majority of the population, and many Athenians are too busy worrying about the latest goods for sale in the Alpha Quadrant to truly question their surroundings. In terms of psychology, Athenians are largely driven by qualities intensely promoted by the state-controlled media throughout Athens. These qualities include close family values, authoritarian and general obedience. Over 100 years of state-media exposure, the Athenians have internalised these ideals and they now make up a core part of the brainwashed population's belief systems.Culture
Advance Tech Industries, with the help of ATHENA, rigorously monitor the citizens of Athens. If a civilian exhibits what A.T.I percieves to be "model citizen behaviour", they are rewarded with greater civil liberties, such as a upscaled accomodation closer to the A.T.I Spire (It is considered more desirable to be closer to the tower, nearer to the centre of Athens.) 'Model Citizens' also receive preferential treatment from Officers, and various other benefits. Athenian culuture is built on the ideals of labour, and it is considered shameful to go without a job. Athenian adults are expected to work and provide for their families, and it is considered honourable to do so. Those who go for prolonged periods of unemployment are issued an official warning from A.T.I, alongside Officer interference should unemployment continue.Life in Athens
