| The rebellious [[Muses]] of the Free Idea Forum are free spirits; artistic individualists who chafe at the restraints placed on their creativity by society. They believe that [[Censorship]] poses a greater danger to Muses than any idea, no matter how radical. The FIF struggles endlessly to liberate the hearts and minds of Muses everywhere, fighting for a Dream where **everyone** is free to create without fear of repression. | The rebellious [[Muses]] of the Free Idea Forum are free spirits; artistic individualists who chafe at the restraints placed on their creativity by society.

| - | The Muses of the FIF believe [[Pure Inspiration]] represent a corrupt, self-congratulatory elite that use their influence to turn the [[Academy of Thought]] on any Muse who’s ideas do not fit into their narrow definition of art. They believe that Pure Inspiration has engineered an unfair system in which only the ideas **they** are most talented in generating are permitted, letting them live in comfort without fear of [[Fading]]. Muses with __other__ talents meanwhile either waste away - forced to craft ideas they don’t truly believe in - or risk being Censored by the Academy of Thought as they stray from the socially permissible version of creativity. | + | The Muses of the FIF believe [[Pure Inspiration]] represent a corrupt, self-congratulatory elite that use their influence to turn the [[Academy of Thought]] on any Muse whose ideas do not fit into their narrow definition of art.

| - | While the FIF are //mostly// peaceful in their rebellion, they are not above getting their hands dirty when it comes to removing what they consider to be the worst influences on Muse society. More than a few Muses from Pure Inspiration and the Academy of Thought have been found lynched, Censored into Fading by angry members of the FIF. | + | While the FIF are //mostly// peaceful in their rebellion, they are not above getting their hands dirty when it comes to removing what they consider to be the worst influences on Muse society.

| The FIF was formed in reaction to the increasing control on Muse Creativity following the Great Memeifications of Jo's teens. No one knows which Muse, or perhaps Muses, founded them. Not that it would matter. From the outset the FIF were anarchists, united by passion for a common cause rather than efficient organisation. | The FIF was formed in reaction to the increasing control on Muse Creativity following the Great Memeifications of Jo's teens.

| - | While the FIF represents an admittedly extreme minority in Muse society, its relationships with other factions are predominantly positive. The [[NFWS]] and FIF have long been associated: two organisations that believing in the free exploration of ideas, although the former are much less political. The FIF are often seen as heroes by those [[Union]] members unhappy with the elite, and as Muses brave enough to risk Censorship to take down a corrupt order. They often find sympathetic benefactors among [[Food for Thought]], even if they might disagree on the extremity of the methods. The [[Jommunity]] is, as in all things other than Jo, split on the topic of the FIF. | + | While the FIF represents an admittedly extreme minority in Muse society, its relationships with other factions are predominantly positive.

| Recently, many Muses of the FIF have come to believe that rigid control of new ideas is the cause of the current disaster. As more and more of Jo’s mind begins to grey, they have been increasingly extreme in their efforts to liberate the collective creativity before it’s too late. | Recently, many Muses of the FIF have come to believe that rigid control of new ideas is the cause of the current disaster.

| - | Members of the Free Idea Forum tend to dress as '60s-'80s super spies or supervillains. They tend to favor the fashion of the period: tie-dye dresses, tuxedos, long coats and evening gowns. This said, some will wear more practical gear for conducting covert activities, donning tight-fitting clothing such as cat suits. Turtlenecks are particularly popular. | + | Members of the Free Idea Forum tend to dress as '60s-'80s super spies or supervillains.
