the angels & firewater cheat sheet,
Because this site takes place on an island (that really does exist) that most people have not visited and because it is in the year 2025, we created a sort of cheat sheet in case you had any questions and such about the many changes in the world since then. You will find the meanings of member groups along with their roles in society, some maps in case you really don't know where the island is located, significant events that have happened since 2010, and anything else we feel is necessary and so that it is easier to understand the site and its concept better. you do not have to read all of it, because it is a lot, but it is mainly just as a reference in case you are not sure of something. if you have any questions, feel free to contact one of the admins in the cbox or pm them at their admin accounts.
scroll down for the different cheat sheet entries.

the time line,2 0 1 2 :
Hilary Clinton becomes the first female president of the United States of America and after environmental issues worsening globally, signs in agreement to starting the first global government. The United States, United Kingdom, Spain, France, Russia, and China become the main leaders with Switzerland, Japan, Canada, Italy, Germany, and Australia as the minor leaders. A mysterious fruit known as the Angel Fruit was found by scientist Jacques St. Pierre to cure cancer. Cancer rates drop tremendously.
2 0 1 7 :
Money, technology, automobiles, and environmental protection laws all completely globalized. Tuberculosis outbreak spreads through Europe, the worst since France in 1918. Doctors unable to keep up with the problem and decide to find the source.
2 0 1 9 :
Ten year plan proposed to the Global Government's main leader, Spain, by Scientist Ivan Roslykova, who traced the source to Skopelos, Greece. The plan included isolating the source to prevent any further damage. One third of Europe is the official death toll by the pandemic. Tuberculosis is ruled out and the virus is named the A Virus for the Angel fruit it originates from.
2 0 2 0 :
Step One of the Ten-Year plan is put into effect. Anyone on Skopleos is to remain on the island and Marine/Navy ships of Greece keep it contained. Officials are spread throughout the city to make sure no one leaves the island. Internet access is cut off along with phone reception to outside the area. No mail is to go in or out. Twice a year, a batch of Infected citizens are taken from Skopelos and shipped to Europe for experimentation.
2 0 2 3 :
The spread of the A Virus is contained to concentration camps that are completely isolated where those who are infected work and are experimented on until they expire. People go on with their daily lives and all Angel Fruit is officially taken off the market and destroyed. A group of rebels begin to form within Skopelos, causing the government to send in specially trained officials to actually hunt them down and take them to concentration camps.
2 0 2 5 :
A new drug nicknamed 'Firewater' is produced by Scientist Ivan Roslykova and it is said to help alleviate the symptoms of the A Virus to help them live another year-extending the life expectancy of the infected. Project Firewater is sent out to Skopleos to test on the Infected in that area.

the dictionary,A N G E L F R U I T :
was credited as the fruit that 'cured cancer' and thus given the characteristical name 'angel fruit'. it is extremely red and heart shaped. the leaves on top are a yellow green and go around the arch like a halo-another reason for its name. the inside is pure white and extremely sweet and juicy. they grow high up in 'Angel Fruit' Trees which look a lot like Palm trees only less sturdy. They grow in abundance in Skopelos and is naturally part of the citizen's diet before the break out of the 'A Virus' which was carried in the Angel Fruit that brought in money to the island because it was their main export.
T H E A V I R U S :
originated in Skopelos, Greece before becoming an international pandemic in the early 2020's due to the mass amounts of Angel Fruit exported globally in hopes of preventing more cancer related deaths. It generally shows up as Tuberculosis because of the symptoms: chronic cough that is generally blood tinged, fever, night sweats, and tremendous weight loss. It mainly attacks the lungs but unlike Tuberculosis, it is not spread through the air-only by the Angel Fruit and the hair-like seeds from the fruit that are extremely small and easy to inhale. In its early stages, the infected will only have a chronic cough and experience drowsiness. It is most commonly noticeable because of a pink-violet tinge in the infected person's eyelids. In its final stages, it attacks the nervous system through the spine and shuts down the system where they simply fall asleep and do not wake up. The disease can kill a person within a year if not treated and if treated they can last up to three years-now four with the firewater drug.
F I R E W A T E R :
A drug produced by Scientist Ivan Roslykova in January of 2025. It is not the 'cure' to the A Virus but can add up to an entire year to an infected person's life expectancy. It is characterized by the Native Americans as an alcoholic beverage. The infected person can inhale the scent to help them breathe better or drink it in tiny flasks to help clear their lungs but it does not help if the A Virus has already spread to the spine. It can, on rare occasion, help contain the A Virus in the lungs. It generally numbs the virus but does not kill it-simply making it dormant. It can be bought at a starting price of 128 GBP (in other words, 200 American Dollars) which is the Global Currency and you will receive fifty Flash-Drive sized capsules full of the clear liquid. It gained its nickname because it is clear like water but when inhaled or swallowed, burns like fire.

the member groups,[/font] C I T I Z E N S :
neutral, non infected citizens who haven't really chosen a side and are simply taking it one step at a time, trying their best to just live their lives.
R E B E L S :
a mixture of infected and uninfected citizens who believe the government is wrong in keeping them on the island isolated from the entire planet. they also strongly disagree with the concentration camps set up globally that are experimenting, torturing, and murdering infected innocent people of all ages. they lead raids on the wealthy parties who support the government, bomb government buildings on the island, and speak to each other in code through news papers.
C O N S E R V A T I V E S :
a mixture of infected and uninfected though generally uninfected citizens who agree with the way the government is running everything and that the government will someday let those uninfected by the disease out. they have full faith in their government or are just too naive to read between the lines.
G O V E R N M E N T :
officials such as police officers, fire fighters, government agents, senators who are either for or against everything but still follow orders as they are suppose to. most agree with the way the government is running the ten year plan.
I N F E C T E D :
those citizens infected with the A virus from the Angel Fruit whether they are rebels or conservatives.
