The Fazi — Fictional Faction Worldbuilding Notes

1. Basic Concept

The Fazi are a fictional militaristic faction created for my own game/worldbuilding idea. I came up with them after seeing a game featuring Nazis and wanting to create a different spin on that kind of historical military setting instead of simply copying Nazi Germany.

The Fazi have similarities to authoritarian, supremacist regimes, but they have their own ideology, objectives, policies, and culture. They are not intended to be a direct copy of the Nazis.

The Fazi are not necessarily good people. They have principles they believe in, but their methods can still be oppressive.

Their story explores the difference between genuinely wanting to protect people and believing that protection gives you the right to control their lives.

2. Fazi Ideology

• The Fazi believe anthros are superior to humans as a species.
• They want all humans in their world to become anthros.
• They believe their way of life is better and want humanity to adopt it.
• They oppose genocide and do not want to exterminate humanity as their stated objective.
• They believe in transforming humanity rather than destroying it.
• They are willing to use force to advance their goals.
• They believe anthros have biological advantages over humans.
• They believe their system protects humans from illness, mistreatment, and unnecessary death.
• They consider becoming an anthro an improvement, even when the person being transformed does not agree.

In this fictional world, anthros are immune to cancer and are less likely to become sick or die from illnesses. These advantages are an important part of the Fazi's reasoning. They believe that transforming humans into anthros gives them a healthier and safer future.

However, their belief in anthro superiority makes them species-supremacist. Their ideology is not identical to Nazi racial ideology, but their belief that one kind of being is inherently superior to another creates serious moral problems.

The Fazi believe they are creating a better future, but their desire to transform humanity takes away people's freedom to choose what they want to be.

3. Military and Resistance

The Fazi have a powerful military and use propaganda to promote their cause.

They fight people who attack them and engage in armed resistance. They do not automatically kill people simply because those people refuse to become anthros.

The distinction between refusing transformation and actively fighting the Fazi is important to how the faction operates.

The Fazi are willing to kill armed opponents in combat, but their stated goal is not the extermination of humanity.

Their military culture emphasizes discipline, strength, unity, and the idea that the Fazi are advancing toward a better future.

Their propaganda presents the Fazi military as an overwhelming force that cannot easily be stopped. This is reflected in their marching songs and military imagery.

4. Human Prisoners and Prison Camps

The Fazi hold humans in prison camps.

Their rules prohibit guards from killing or physically harming prisoners, except in situations such as self-defense or when dealing with prisoners who become rowdy or violent.

The intention is for prisoners to be treated fairly within the camp's rules rather than being subjected to arbitrary violence.

The Fazi believe that humans under their authority should still receive protection from abuse and unnecessary suffering. Their rules are meant to prevent guards from mistreating prisoners simply because they are human or oppose the regime.

However, fair treatment inside a camp does not automatically make the imprisonment itself fair. The larger system still restricts human freedom, especially when people are held for transformation or because of their opposition to Fazi rule.

The Fazi have rules that limit certain forms of cruelty, but they remain an authoritarian faction. Their stated concern for human welfare does not erase the coercion involved in their system.

5. Human Transformation Program

The Fazi have a process for transforming humans into anthros.

The program is based on the belief that becoming an anthro gives a human a better chance at a healthy life. However, the program is not entirely voluntary.

Stage 1: Transformation Day

When the day of transformation arrives, humans are transformed into anthros.

They do not necessarily get to choose whether to undergo the transformation, but they are allowed to choose what kind of anthro they want to become.

This gives them some choice over their new form, even though the overall transformation policy is imposed on them.

The Fazi view this choice as a reasonable compromise. From their perspective, the important thing is that humans become anthros, while allowing them to choose their form gives them some personal freedom.

However, choosing the kind of anthro they become is not the same as consenting to the transformation itself.

Stage 2: Learning to Live in Fazi Society

After transformation, the newly transformed people are taught how to live in the Fazi country.

They learn about the country's way of life, customs, culture, and expectations.

The Fazi present this process as a way to help former humans integrate into their new society. They believe that teaching people their culture will help them adjust and understand why the Fazi believe their system is beneficial.

However, this education also reinforces the regime's ideology and encourages conformity.

Stage 3: Twenty-Year Restriction

Once transformed, former humans are not allowed to leave the country for 20 years.

During this period, they live under Fazi authority and are expected to adapt to the country's way of life.

This restriction is a major part of the Fazi system and limits the freedom of the transformed population.

The Fazi may see the restriction as necessary for integration, but the people subjected to it have little control over their own lives.

Stage 4: Release

After the 20-year period ends, the former humans are released from the restriction.

Their expected role after release is to spread the good word about the Fazi and their ideology.

They are expected to spread Fazi propaganda and encourage others to support the faction.

This allows the Fazi to use former humans as examples of their supposed success. Their stories can be presented as evidence that transformation and life under Fazi rule have benefited humanity.

An important distinction for the story is whether these former humans genuinely believe in the Fazi cause or whether they are expected to promote it regardless of their personal beliefs.

The transformation program is therefore both an integration system and a method of maintaining ideological control.

6. The Fazi March — Propaganda Song

The Fazi March is a propaganda song associated with the Fazi regime.

It is intended to sound like a powerful, old-fashioned military march, drawing on a historical military atmosphere without simply copying Nazi songs or ideology.

The song promotes the Fazi cause and presents their military strength as intimidating. It also has a personal connection to the dictator herself.

Musical Direction

• Old-fashioned military marching style.
• Strong brass instruments.
• Snare drums and a firm marching rhythm.
• A powerful, stern female singing voice.
• A potentially haunting or unsettling atmosphere.
• A sense of military power, confidence, and inevitability.

The song should sound convincing as Fazi propaganda within the fictional world.

“Zweitausend Hornissen” — Two Thousand Hornets

One of the lyrical ideas is the German phrase “Zweitausend Hornissen,” meaning “Two Thousand Hornets.”

The hornets symbolize a large, intimidating force advancing against its enemies.

A single hornet can be threatening, but thousands of hornets together create the image of an overwhelming swarm.

The imagery communicates that the Fazi are powerful, relentless, and difficult to resist.

The hornets can represent the Fazi military machine and its advance toward its vision for humanity.

The song can sound triumphant to Fazi supporters while sounding threatening to people who oppose the regime.

The Song's Personal Meaning

The Fazi March is not simply a song performed by an ordinary female soldier. The female anthro soldier who made and sings the song is the Fazi dictator herself.

Her identity makes the song more personal. She is not merely repeating the regime's beliefs as a subordinate. She is the person leading the regime and enforcing its ideology.

Her love for a human man is intertwined with the song's message. She genuinely loves him, yet she also believes that he should become an anthro like her.

Near the end of the song, she sings about how, despite being lovesick and loving her partner, she will make him one of them.

The ending reveals the contradiction between her personal feelings and her ideology. Her love is genuine, but so is her determination to make her partner part of the species she believes is superior.

The song can therefore function as propaganda while also revealing something important about the dictator herself.

7. The Female Anthro Dictator and Her Human Partner, Enrich

The female anthro soldier connected to the Fazi March is the Fazi dictator herself. She is an anthro, and she believes anthros are superior to humans.

Her human partner is named Enrich.

Their relationship is taboo in Fazi society because of the belief that anthros are superior to humans. Despite this, the dictator genuinely loves Enrich. They are together for seven years, and he becomes her favorite and best partner.

Their relationship is important because it demonstrates that her feelings for an individual human can be genuine even while her ideology treats humans as an inferior species.

She does not necessarily hate humans. She believes they are weaker and more vulnerable, and she believes becoming an anthro would give them a better life.

Her love for Enrich, her protective instincts, and her belief in anthro superiority all exist at the same time.

Her Beliefs Before Enrich's Death

Before Enrich's death, humans can choose to become anthros voluntarily.

The dictator believes transformation is beneficial because anthros have biological advantages in her world. They are immune to cancer and less likely to become sick or die from illnesses.

She wants Enrich to become an anthro like her. In her mind, this would protect him and give him a healthier future.

Her beliefs are not simply an excuse to hurt him. She genuinely wants him to be safe and believes that transformation is in his best interests.

However, even before his death, her belief that anthros are superior creates a conflict between loving Enrich as he is and wanting him to become something else.

She can genuinely care about him while still struggling to recognize that he has the right to decide what happens to his own body.

Enrich's Cancer

Enrich develops an unusually aggressive cancer.

His doctor had said that the cancer had not progressed, but it suddenly advances very quickly. By the time his condition becomes critical, the cancer is advanced and terminal.

The cancer is particularly devastating because of the fictional world's biological distinction between humans and anthros. The dictator believes that if Enrich had become an anthro earlier, he would have been protected from cancer.

His condition creates a terrible situation: the transformation that she believes could have protected him earlier is no longer capable of saving him once the disease has progressed so far.

Preserving His Sperm

Approximately one week before the night he collapses, Enrich has his sperm preserved.

He does this so that, if his partner wants to have his child after he dies, she will still have that option.

This is a thoughtful gesture toward her future. It demonstrates that Enrich is considering the possibility that he might not survive and wants to leave her with a choice.

It does not mean that she necessarily has his child. It means that the possibility remains available to her.

The Pistol and the Planned Transformation

On the night Enrich collapses, the dictator plans to give him a pistol.

Enrich loves guns, and this particular type of pistol is his favorite. It is a pistol he had always wanted but could never get.

She chooses it as a gift because she knows how much it means to him. The gift is a personal expression of her love and of the life they have shared.

That same night, Enrich is supposed to undergo transformation into an anthro.

The two events are important because they represent the future she hopes to share with him: giving him something he has always wanted and helping him become an anthro so that he can live a healthier life.

However, neither event happens as planned.

Enrich's Collapse and Death

Before the transformation or the gift can happen, Enrich collapses and is taken to the hospital.

His cancer has advanced so severely that transforming him at this stage would not undo the existing damage. It could cause additional suffering without saving his life.

Because of his condition, they do not transform him.

The dictator stays with Enrich in the hospital as his condition deteriorates. Despite her being there with him, the doctors cannot save him.

Enrich dies in her arms.

His death is a defining trauma for the dictator. She loses the person she has loved for seven years, and she is left with the belief that his death might have been prevented if he had become an anthro earlier.

The pistol she had intended to give him becomes a lasting connection to this tragedy.

The Pistol's Journey Into Purgatory

The pistol survives after Enrich's death.

Through a rift, it eventually enters the purgatory world, where the player can find it.

This makes the weapon more than an ordinary item. It connects the game's world to the dictator's personal history and to the loss that helped shape her policies.

The player can initially encounter the pistol as a usable weapon without necessarily knowing its history. Its deeper significance can be revealed gradually as the story unfolds.

The pistol represents the future Enrich never got to experience and the gift his partner never got to give him.

How His Death Changes Her Rule

Before Enrich's death, the dictator allows humans to choose whether they want to become anthros.

After his death, she becomes much more aggressive about forcing humans to undergo transformation.

She fears that other humans will develop aggressive diseases before they have the chance to choose transformation. Because anthros are immune to cancer in her world and less likely to die from illness, she believes that forcing people to become anthros earlier will protect them from suffering the same fate as Enrich.

Her motivation is not necessarily hatred toward humanity. It is a mixture of grief, fear, her existing belief in anthro superiority, and her desire to prevent another tragedy.

However, her response to that grief changes the lives of countless people.

She begins treating human consent as an obstacle to protecting them. Rather than allowing people to decide whether they want to transform, she imposes her own decision on them.

In her mind, she is saving lives. In practice, she is denying people control over their own bodies.

Her personal tragedy helps explain why she becomes more authoritarian, but it does not justify her policies.

The Dictator's Central Contradiction

The dictator genuinely loves Enrich, and she genuinely wants to protect people from illness and suffering.

However, she also believes that anthros are superior and that she knows what is best for humans.

Her relationship with Enrich reveals the conflict at the center of her character: she can love someone deeply without fully respecting their right to make decisions she disagrees with.

She does not have to be pretending to care for humans for her policies to be oppressive. Her intentions can be sincere while her actions remain coercive.

This contradiction is a major part of her characterization and of the Fazi's wider ideology.

8. The Dictator's Realization, Change, and Surrender

Near the end of the war, the dictator learns the full extent of Nazi atrocities.

This discovery forces her to reconsider what she believes about her own regime and its methods.

The comparison challenges her certainty that her intentions are enough to make her policies acceptable. She begins to question the forced transformation program and the assumption that she has the right to decide what is best for every human.

Her realization is not that every aspect of Fazi society is identical to Nazi Germany. Rather, learning about the atrocities committed by the Nazis makes her confront the danger of believing that a government can justify coercion through its own ideology and claims of superiority.

She begins to recognize the contradiction between her stated desire to protect humans and her willingness to take away their freedom.

Abandoning Forced Transformation

As her beliefs change, the dictator gives up forced transformation.

She begins releasing humans, including those who have not been forcibly transformed.

This is a significant change in policy because she is no longer treating the transformation of humanity as something she has the right to impose.

Her decision does not necessarily require her to abandon the belief that anthros have biological advantages. The important change is that she begins to recognize that those advantages do not give her the right to choose another person's identity or bodily future.

Surrender and Accountability

The dictator eventually surrenders and admits her crimes.

She is not executed because her crimes are judged not severe enough to warrant execution, although people and the Allied side remain angry with her.

Her survival does not mean that everyone forgives her or that her actions are considered acceptable.

Her change of heart does not undo the forced transformations, the restrictions, or the suffering caused by her regime. Her surrender marks the beginning of accountability, not an automatic redemption.

The story can leave room for people to disagree about whether her change is sincere, whether it is enough, and what consequences she should face.

Her arc is about a person confronting the harm caused by her own convictions and finally giving up the belief that she should control other people for their own good.

9. The Allies, the Fazi Army, and How Purnay Lost the War

All characters involved in this story are adults aged 18 or older.

How the War Started

The war began after the Allies learned that Purnay was forcibly turning humans into anthros.

The Allies wanted Purnay to stop forcing people to transform and to give the affected people back. The dispute escalated into war.

From the Allies' perspective, Purnay was violating people's freedom by deciding what species they had to become. The Fazi leadership believed transformation would protect humans and give them a better life.

The Fazi Army's Strict Rules and Morals

The entire Fazi army was made up of female anthros.

The Fazi soldiers followed strict laws about attacking humans. They could not attack humans unless those humans were pointing their guns at the Fazi soldiers.

These were the Fazi's own rules, and their soldiers were required to obey them even when facing enemy troops. The restrictions prevented them from attacking Allied soldiers simply because they were enemies.

How the Allies Exploited the Rules

After some time at war, Allied soldiers discovered the strict laws the female anthro Fazi soldiers had to follow and the morals they adhered to.

Once they understood the restrictions and the morale behind them, in 1942, they began walking into enemy lines with their guns resting on their shoulders instead of pointing them at the Fazi soldiers.

The Fazi soldiers could not attack because the Allied soldiers were not aiming their guns at them. The Fazi soldiers were furious as enemy troops walked right past them, but their own rules prevented them from responding with violence.

The Allies had discovered a way to exploit the Fazi military's restrictions. The Fazi soldiers' own rules became a major weakness that contributed to Purnay's defeat.

Female Anthros Who Admired Human Men

Another factor was that many female Fazi soldiers found human males attractive.

Some thought Allied men were cute, while others admired them as strong men. Despite their ideological differences and their status as enemies, these female anthros could still develop feelings for human men.

This created a contradiction within Fazi society. The Fazi believed anthros were superior to humans, yet many of their own female soldiers admired the very humans their ideology considered inferior.

Love Blooming on the Battlefield

Some Allied soldiers found the female anthros attractive or admired them as strong women. Some even asked them out despite being enemies.

The female Fazi soldiers reacted differently. Some turned down the offers, while others welcomed the attention and accepted.

In some cases, love blossomed on the battlefield despite the war between their countries.

These relationships did not mean that every female Fazi soldier abandoned her duties or that every Allied soldier pursued romance. However, they created unexpected personal connections between members of opposing armies.

The combination of the Fazi soldiers' strict rules and the attraction some of them felt toward human men complicated the military conflict.

After the War

Some of the couples who formed during the war stayed together after the fighting ended and lived happily together.

Despite having once been enemies, they were able to build relationships beyond the divisions between their countries.

Their stories provide a hopeful contrast to the war. Even while governments and armies fought, individual people could find affection and companionship on opposite sides.

Why Purnay Lost the War

Purnay's defeat was influenced by two important factors.

First, the Fazi soldiers' own strict rules prevented them from attacking humans unless those humans were pointing their guns at them. After discovering this, Allied soldiers began walking into enemy lines with their guns resting on their shoulders. The Fazi soldiers were furious but could not attack them under their rules.

Second, many female Fazi soldiers admired human males. Some were attracted to Allied men, and some accepted romantic advances from them despite being enemies.

Neither factor meant that every Fazi soldier behaved the same way. However, together, the military restrictions and the unexpected relationships between enemy soldiers contributed to Purnay's defeat.

The Fazi army was undermined in part by its own rules and by the personal connections that developed between some of its female anthro soldiers and the human men they were fighting.

10. Main Themes

The Fazi concept explores several themes:

• Species supremacy: Believing one species is inherently superior to another.
• Authoritarianism: A government deciding what is best for people and imposing it on them.
• Freedom and consent: Whether a supposedly better future justifies taking away someone's right to choose.
• Propaganda: How governments use music, military imagery, and personal stories to promote their ideology.
• Love versus ideology: Whether someone can genuinely love another person while refusing to respect their choices.
• Rehabilitation and control: Whether the Fazi's transformation and integration system genuinely helps former humans or primarily makes them conform.
• Personal contradictions: How a person can sincerely oppose genocide while supporting other coercive policies.
• Grief and extremism: How losing someone can intensify existing beliefs and lead to increasingly authoritarian decisions.
• Protection versus control: How the desire to protect people can become a justification for taking away their freedom.
• Love across enemy lines: How adult female Fazi soldiers and adult Allied men can fall in love despite serving opposing sides in a war.
• Military restrictions and consequences: How a military's own rules can be exploited by an enemy and influence the outcome of a war.
• Accountability and change: How a person can recognize wrongdoing, abandon harmful policies, and still have to face the consequences of their actions.

The central question of the Fazi story is:

Can a society genuinely believe it is building a better future while taking away people's freedom to decide what that future should be?

Historical Timeline

1940: Enrich dies in the dictator's arms from aggressive cancer. His death drives her to begin forcibly transforming humans into anthros.

1940–1945: The Fazi enforce forced transformation, and the war between Purnay and the Allies unfolds.

1945: Near the end of World War II, the dictator learns the full extent of Nazi atrocities and begins questioning her regime.

Late 1945: She abandons forced transformation, releases humans, surrenders, and admits her crimes. However, she cannot undo the suffering her policies have caused.

How the Dictator Met Enrich

Before becoming the dictator's partner, Enrich was a human who attempted to assassinate her. His attempt failed, and he was imprisoned by the Fazi.

Despite his attempt on her life, the dictator personally visited him in prison. She was the only person who genuinely wanted to understand why he had tried to kill her. Rather than treating him with hatred or cruelty, she was kind to him and took the time to listen to his reasons.

Her kindness surprised Enrich. As they continued meeting, he gradually lost his desire to kill her and began developing genuine feelings for her. Eventually, he abandoned his assassination attempt entirely and fell in love with her.

The dictator eventually freed Enrich, and the two began a relationship that lasted seven years, until his death in 1940.

During their relationship, the dictator did not support forced transformation. Humans were allowed to choose whether they wanted to become anthros. Although she believed anthros were biologically superior, she had not yet decided that humans should be forced to transform.

Enrich's death in 1940 changed everything. Devastated by losing the man she loved to aggressive cancer, the dictator began believing that voluntary transformation was not enough to protect humans from diseases that could kill them. This grief became a major reason she turned to forced transformation, believing she could prevent others from suffering the same fate as Enrich.

Their relationship was unusual and taboo in Fazi society, where anthros were considered superior to humans. Their love began with an attempted assassination but grew through understanding, kindness, and a willingness to see beyond their differences. However, Enrich's death would ultimately change the dictator's beliefs and the future of the Fazi.

Crimes Committed by Fazi Personnel

Although the Fazi military had strict rules regarding the treatment of human prisoners, some guards still committed crimes against them. When these incidents were discovered, the responsible personnel were dealt with swiftly, often by the following day.

Crimes were also committed by some Fazi soldiers on the front lines. Depending on the offense, these soldiers could face court-martial and military punishment. The Fazi military did not permit its personnel to act without consequences when they violated its rules.

When these crimes became known, the Fazi civilian population was also informed. The female dictator gave a public speech expressing her anger over the crimes committed by Fazi personnel and emphasizing that such actions violated the military's rules.

Sexual crimes were rare and relatively uncommon within the Fazi military, but that did not lessen the dictator's anger when such cases came to light. She was known to raise her voice and yell when addressing these incidents, making her disgust with the perpetrators especially clear. Although she considered such crimes worthy of execution, she never went through with it.

However, the swift punishment of individual offenders did not erase the suffering of their victims, nor did it make the forced transformation policy or the imprisonment of humans just.The dictator was also known to personally speak with the victims of these crimes and apologize to them herself. She wanted them to know that she condemned what had happened to them and that their suffering was not being ignored by the government.
