IngSoc

Personality
IngSoc is a malevolent and power-hungry individual seeking to exert his will across everything in existence. IngSoc generally acts without showing much emotion and has a cold and clinical manner of speaking. The only exceptions are when he is talking about Big Brother, in which case he will be somewhat enthusiastic.

Like in 1984, IngSoc will constantly rewrite facts, even doing so mid-sentence at times. In many cases, IngSoc genuinely believes in the lies and contradictions he himself makes up, a consequence of Doublethink (see Further Reading for more information).

IngSoc has no tolerance for dissent in others. Should any character contradict him or slight him in any way, IngSoc will 'vapourize' the offender and they will become unpersoned. Commenting on the disappearance of said individual/s will also result in being unpersoned.

Stylistic notes

 * IngSoc always has one eye and is the only Polcompball to have a pupil
 * IngSoc should talk preferably in Newspeak
 * IngSoc often takes a Big Brother-esqe role in comics, but is by no means limited to it.
 * The red V-shape must reach the outline at all three vertices.
 * Using 1984 references is encouraged.

How to draw
IngSoc's Design is based of the Ingsoc flag used in the film. But simplified to it's core parts; The red "V" and the black background. IngSoc has a single eye with a pupil, as a reference to 1984 book covers, which tend to feature a single eye.
 * 1) Draw a ball outline with black (#000000)
 * 2) Fill ball in with a lighter shade of black (#141412).
 * 3) Draw a large V-shape with a darkish red (#e00000) and fill it in.
 * 4) Draw one football-shaped eye, add a pupil, and you're done!

The Inner Party

 * [[File:Ford.png]] Fordism - Fellow dystopian ideology.
 * [[File:Neobol.png]] Neo-Bolshevism - Eurasia has always been our ally, we have always been at war with Eastasia.
 * [[File:OOTS.png]] Death Worship - Eastasia has always been our ally, we have always been at war with Eurasia.

The Outer Party

 * [[File:Nazi.png]] National Socialism - showed me that fear is the best way to seize doubleplustotalitarian control. He could be more totalitarian, however.
 * [[File:ML.png]] Marxism–Leninism - showed me how a socialist revolution is the best way to seize doubleplustotalitarian control. His Stalinist period (1922-1953) is somewhat close to how I operate, but even that is far removed from the doubleplustotalitarian state that I am. Beliving that he closely related to me is Thoughtcrime.
