Assimilation Plot	comment	This trope refers to a common plot by villains with a cause, wherein they reason that all of humanity's problems and unhappiness are caused by people being separate/different from one another, and so try to forcefully eliminate the differences and individuality of everyone by merging everyone into one mind/body/soul/etc. Basically, this is when villains use supernatural/Applied Phlebotinum means to make a Hive Mind because Utopia Justifies the Means, and is often done by a Well-Intentioned Extremist/Totalitarian Utilitarian/Knight Templar. This is how The Virus justifies itself, if sentient and possessing a Hive Mind. Variants include: Actual Well-Intentioned Extremist believing that Utopia Justifies the Means and that in order to progress further, humanity must get rid of The Evils of Free Will. Selfish megalomaniac who seeks to create a Hive Mind just to make themselves the Hive Queen. In this case, the villain has a Take Over the World goal but with a twist. They may use the Well-Intentioned Extremist cause as a ruse. Mad Scientist who wants to see if it can be done, and what would happen, strictly out of intellectual curiosity. This kind of guy is likely to hear You're Insane! often and not care. Personal motive. The character involved may not care about the plan bringing massive change to the world as long as it would help them accomplish a personal objective. See The Singularity for a non-premeditated, unguided version where exponential technological change itself ultimately results in humanity merging with Artificial Intelligence and becoming a Hive Mind. See also Pieces of God, where humanity actually started as one entity. See Mental Fusion and Merger of Souls for a smaller scale, often voluntary assimilation. Not to be confused with The Assimilator, which is a character trait rather than the focus of the entire plot. There the character is simply expanding instead of something visionary, though a visionary Assimilator might devise an Assimilation Plot. Compare/contrast The Evils of Free Will, where the villains use force, brainwashing, and other things to systematically eliminate unique thinkers until everyone is basically a carbon copy, but remains an individual physically. A step up is the World of Silence; not only has everyone become one, but that 'oneness' is one of complete apathy and nothing. Likely to lead to Loss of Identity and/or Identity Breakdown to those who are forced to assimilate.

Assimilation Plot / int_12cae8f9	comment	This is the ELS's main tactic in Gundam 00: A Wakening of the Trailblazer. If enough ELS gather together, they can assimilate space cruisers (or even, it's implied, entire planets). It is not until the end of the movie that humanity realizes that the ELS didn't mean anything malicious by this. They just didn't know how to communicate except by absorbing other things into their Hive Mind (generally killing the unlucky human being assimilated), which humanity understandably took as a hostile action. Once the ELS realize that they're being perceived as hostile due to this, they immediately stop. They also managed to bring back some of the people they absorbed afterwards.

All the story pop-ups make it very clear that the path leading up to this ending is a desperate attempt to survive; however, the faction that pulls this off "wins" by having its values become predominant in the new consciousness. Amusingly, the transcendence victory is pretty much exactly what Chairman Yang (the most Obviously Evil of the faction leaders) wanted all along, regardless of who actually achieves it.

Assimilation Plot / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: This is the basic concept of "The Moon's Eye Plan", whose aim is to dive all people in eternal Genjutsu and collect all the chakra in all people for the user in order to reach peace in the world. The plan also intersects with Lotus-Eater Machine, since for each one who gets caught in the Genjutsu, will be created a perfect world in which all his desires will be fulfilled. Although the entire concept and execution seems to depend on its executor, Obito who's more concerned about the execution of the "Lotus-Eater Machine" part, than "collect all the chakra for himself", uses the Shinju to achieve the goal, while Madara who's more concerned about the execution of the "collect all the chakra for himself" part, awakens the Rinne Sharingan and uses it to trigger the Infinite Tsukiyomi. As it turned out, the original plan was invented by Kaguya Otsutsuki, and her plan goes a step further when it is revealed that while her victims are ensnared in an eternal dream, their bodies will be converted into an army of Zetsu clones. The Sage of the Six Paths intended a much more benevolent version of this, spreading chakra in the hope that it would create a bond between people and foster understanding. Unfortunately, they learned how to mix their spiritual and physical powers with the chakra to create ninjutsu and continued fighting.

It's worth pointing out that since this is portrayed as Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, and almost always shown as heroic and that nobody at all minds the thought of leaving their bodies behind, the way that the ragtag band of heroes always will if it wasn't their idea first. In Civilization: Beyond Earth, this is only one of the four non-domination victories, limited to factions following the Harmony path. Two of the other tech-based victories involve re-establishing contact with Earth (one to bring in refugees, another to force Earth humans to undergo Unwilling Roboticisation), while the non-affinity-specific victory involves establishing a First Contact.

In Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, Alexia Ashford plans to use the T-Veronica virus to accomplish this goal. She styles herself as a Queen Ant destined to rule over humanity, with the world as her colony. Las Plagas from Resident Evil 4 are mind-controlling parasites that assimilate with a host and connect them to a Hive Mind under the command of a Hive Queen. The Los Illuminados cult is centered around the parasites, with the goal of spreading their "faith" to all of humanity. The Big Bad of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is attempting to do this on a much smaller scale, due to being confined to an extremely rural area of Louisiana. The Mold was designed with the idea of using a Hive Queen to infect a local population and control them via the hive mind. Eveline escapes from custody and then takes over the Bakers, ordering them to kidnap people to assimilate into their "family". At her core, Eveline (E-001) simply wants to be loved... but her nature as a bio-weapon twists that desire into this trope.

In one of them, he was a psychic so powerful that he accidentally caused one of these by touching every human mind at once — and then was ejected from the collective, leaving him the only individual mind on Earth. In something of a departure from norm, said Hive Mind (the Commonality) is presented as a benign entity that's turned Earth into a Utopia and holds that universe's Tyler in very high regard for having created it. It's not much consolation for Tyler, though, as he is terribly lonely without any non-assimilated humans to talk to.

Assimilation Plot / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: Cable & Deadpool features a comedic version of this trope with a cult that wants to eliminate racism by turning everyone the same skin color: blue. After briefly succeeding, Deadpool has a conversation with the leader in an airport where he points out the futility of it all; he can still tell what race everyone is/was by their features. Deadpool (the character's first regular series) has an alien referred to as the Messiah who wants to create peace by eliminating free will and leaving entire planetary populations mindless. In an unusual heroic — or rather, Nominal Hero — example, Black Bolt of The Inhumans has on multiple occasions tried to do this, forcibly transforming countless non-Inhumans into Inhumans in order to protect his people. The first time he tries it, during War of Kings, it's presented as a severe case of Jumping Off the Slippery Slope, with even the Ax-Crazy Emperor Vulcan a.k.a. Gabriel Summers, being appalled by it, and Crystal calling him out hard. The second time, during Infinity, when Black Bolt unleashes the Terrigen Mists on the world, it's portrayed as supposedly being a good thing, despite the fact that the Mists are known to be dangerous and/or downright lethal to mutants, from the events of Silent War. Sins of Sinister is an entire event based on this, with long-time X-Men villain (yet necessary ally in the Krakoa Age) Mister Sinister finding a way to corrupt the Krakoan resurrection process so that every mutant starts thinking like him. It does not go well for him. This is the stated goal of the Chitauri in The Ultimates (2002). Of course, since they apparently get their ass kicked not only on Earth, but all up and down the galaxy, before getting anywhere close to wiping out the "cancer" of individuality, it's not clear if this goal can even be or could have been achieved. A What If? comic explores the consequences of the High Evolutionary kicking all of the humans, superhumans, and mutants in the universe into their most highly evolved state and uniting into a single being; instead of achieving The Singularity or Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence as the H.E. had hoped, it/they essentially destroyed the universe and left the High Evolutionary stranded forever on a time-locked Earth stuck outside of reality.

Just as the player characters help Tremere cast a spell over all of mankind, Tzimisce takes over his body and then subverts the ritual, merging with the bodies of every single person on earth except for the player characters. The player characters escape from a bunch of flesh-crafted monsters, and Saulot appears to offer them the chance to stop Tzimisce. If they refuse, Saulot leaves and tries to stop Tzimisce himself and loses; the player characters are eventually killed off or eaten, and Tzimisce inherits the earth. If they accept, they perform a brief ritual with Saulot, then project their souls into Tzimisce, and desperately plead to God that the world be saved. They succeed, the taint of vampirism is cleansed from the world, and the player characters become human; unfortunately, there are still hordes of raving madmen, giant monsters, and flesh-crafted beasties wandering the world, but at least mankind has survived and can forge a new future. In an alternate "good" ending, the player characters still defeat Tzimisce, but find that they are still vampires, except that they no longer suffer their clan weakness or the limits of generation... while in the Middle East, Caine rises from the sand and curses at the heavens, horrified the cycle of vampirism is beginning anew, with the player characters as the new Antediluvians in a dangerous new world waiting to be conquered.

Assimilation Plot / int_710d2be0	comment	EXA_PICO: This is the ultimate goal of Infel and Nenesha in Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica — to create a world where all people can exist in peace and happiness for eternity by launching them into their own separate virtual realities under the global network, where they may live as gods through Sublimation. Unlike most other practitioners, this lands them squarely in Anti-Villain territory, considering that the towers that support the little remaining human life in an otherwise completely dead world (that they believe is sentient and deliberately trying to kill all humanity) are crumbling and failing, and they already tried and failed to use the only other option (Metafalica). The heroes still stop them and try (and nearly fail) Metafalica anyway. This was attempted earlier with Hibernation, a Flawed Prototype version of Sublimation, with its area of effect being limited to Metafalss, and since it uses Infel Phira as the storage for their minds, it has the side effect of killing all the IPDs in Metafalss (which comprises 50% of the Reyvateils there). Infel's apparently on it so that she can access Nenesha's Soulspace through Infel Phira's backdoor opened by the song to Ar tonelico. Ciel nosurge and Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star have the Class::EXSPHERE_NOSURGE, a song that fuses people's souls to creates a transdimensional being. Unlike the Hibernation and Sublimation, which put everyone into a Lotus-Eater Machine, Exsphere Nosurge erases the Qualia (spiritual boundaries) of the people within the Song's range of effect, effectively erasing their individuality and clumping them into the Overseer, killing them in the process. Zill tries it in Ciel nosurge when she thinks that it is necessary for a peaceful world, and that it's the only way of survival at that point. In Ar nosurge, it is sung by a person from beyond their universe. Fortunately, the singer's host happens to disagree with the genocidal intent of the Song, with the internal discord preventing it from being executed at its full power.

The Geth are a machine race whose sapience is achieved by the cooperation and consensus of a multitude of lesser non-sapient programs and sub-routines. Their ultimate goal is to create a single repository for all of their programs in order to form a single, unified entity. Unique in that no member of their race opposes this goal — an 'individual' geth is a piece of software, so they need to be networked to achieve sapience. On a grimmer note are the Reapers, ancient machines that possess thousands of programs in their cores and, as shown by the sequel's climax, are created by transforming millions, if not billions, of sapient organics into a liquid metal for use in their construction, apparently fusing some measure of their being into the resulting Reaper. The "Heretic" Geth differ from the rest since they want to take a shortcut to their goal by uploading themselves into a Reaper.

The asari government uses propaganda to influence their own people into doing this more often, resulting in more asari, and less of other races. Additionally, they hoard power and knowledge to subtly influence the other races into being more like the asari. It's an Assimilation Plot in a very slow and very subtle form.

Their goal is to find a compatible human to merge with so that they can regain physical sensations and abilities. The Borg are famous for their drive to assimilate others in the galaxy. Interestingly they are often portrayed more as selfish scavengers of biology and technology than is common with this trope, only assimilating that which would improve the Collective rather than seeking to assimilate all life — the Kazon are said to have been too primitive to bother assimilating. However, Locutus, the Borg Queen and Seven of Nine all do refer to the pursuit of perfection through assimilation as one of the defining features of the Borg consciousness, as demonstrated in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Best of Both Worlds": In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "For the Cause", Eddington claims the Federation ethos is "worse than the Borg" by being more insidious and less overtly villainous than this trope.

Assimilation Plot / int_aacd24cb	comment	StarCraft: The Khala is a heroic example, since by the time just before its discovery, the Protoss are fighting a massive civil war, and the discovery of Khala by Khas/Savassan ends the civil war and helps restore the psionic link that was lost in the war. It should be noted that even when they are linked, the Protoss still retain individuality. As shown in volume 3 of the Frontline manga, it seems that some Protoss do consider the Khala a Hive Mind (even though they retain individuality and it's like a free-over-the-galaxy-telephone-for-zero-cost), and even for that little, the exiled Dark Templars reject it (and are happy with just normal telepathy). In StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void, the Khala is revealed to be a villainous example after all. The Khala was never anything more than Amon's tool for controlling the Protoss, not unlike the Zerg Overmind. The surviving Protoss sever their nerve cords similarly to the Dark Templar. A smaller example of this is the creation of the Archon, which requires two Templars to sacrifice their individuality to create one incredibly powerful being of energy. The effects seem to vary case-by-case; the in-game unit has no personality and only the urge to destroy its enemies, the Twilight Archon is a something unique altogether (and we don't know what its personality like), and Ulrezaj is made of seven Dark Templars, but only the Ulrezaj original personality controls the body. The Zerg are a Hive Mind... sort of. The Overmind and the cerebrates have distinct personalities but are "hard-wired" in a way that they cannot rebel, thus lacking some of free will. Also, basically anything beneath them (every other Zerg unit) is just a creature with no personality or free-will whatsoever. Kerrigan and some doubtfully canon Zerg are different. In StarCraft II, after taking control of the Swarm, Kerrigan replaces the Cerebrates with Brood Mothers, but after she's temporarily de-infested in StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm and attempts to re-establish control, some of the Brood Mothers are reluctant to obey her.

The King of that star keeps anyone who comes from leaving. Within a few days even those who fight it are absorbed and become "citizens", vague and all similar to each other, deferring to the King in all ways and turning into him if that's what he wants. One character sarcastically says that he's lonely and wants friends, but is afraid that they'll fight or leave him, so he absorbs them.

Assimilation Plot / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: This is somewhat the point of the Genestealer Cults, although it's downplayed in that they do not necessarily want everyone in. In the early stages of a Genestealer infiltration, the brood will lurk around the outskirts of society, infecting individuals who will not be missed such as the homeless or people who live in isolated places. As the cult grows in size, generations pass and its members become more human-like. The cult will begin opening seemingly benign fronts, granting them more influence and resources, while also becoming more "selective" about who is infected, targeting powerful or influential citizens. Eventually, as a Tyranid Hive Fleet approaches, the cult will become more aggressive and try to stage a coup. Even if the attempted coup fails, it still diverts much-needed resources away from the defences. Sometimes the coup succeeds all too well. The Feral World of Lamarno, for instance, was actually completely taken over peacefully by a Genestealer Cult which posed as a religious movement called the "Celebrants of Nihilism". When the bugs arrived, three quarters of the planet's population calmly marched into the waiting bio-ships to be consumed by their "living gods".

Natural assimilation underlies the concept of the "Stand Alone Complex" itself, and it is explicitly examined in the case of Hideo Kuze and the refugees. Kuze believes that humanity is now capable of Ascending to a Higher Plane of Existence since the majority of the population is already cyberized (connected to the net), but they don't know that they are capable of doing this, or even how to do so. While he doesn't desire to see people lose their physical forms if it can be helped, he believes that everyone can retain their individualities and live entirely inside the net. His intentions are entirely honorable, and he would never force anyone to go through with it if they didn't want to, but due to the dire circumstances of the final episodes of 2nd Gig, he prepares for such a forced ascension just to save the lives of all his followers as an absolute last resort.

Oddly enough, helping him do this is the closest thing Invisible War has to a good ending. This is possibly because he's upgrading everyone to eliminate inequality, rather than downgrading everyone. According to J.C. Denton, Helios' goal was to give everyone nano-augmentations, so that everyone would have enhanced strength, intellect, be free of insanity, and so on, while retaining their sense of individuality, thus creating a true meritocracy (Helios would also be able to read everyone's minds and respond to their desires, which J.C. refers to as "instantaneous democracy"). Of course, the reliability of what Denton says is something that's left for the player to decide, and the ending where you help Helios win is a bit ambiguous. At the end of Deus Ex: Invisible War, if you side with Helios, the whole world population is infused with nano-augmentations so that Helios can act as an enlightened despot. JC Denton/Helios asserts that individuality will remain (i.e., it's not a collective mind merge of the populace) but Helios will know the contents of everyone's mind so that he can react to their opinions and needs. It's suggested that it will be closer to The Singularity. The Omar, meanwhile, are a traditional Hive Mind. All members' minds are linked through nanotechnology. It's averted, however, in that they are Social Darwinists who only force this on those who join them. Leo Jankowski leaves them for this reason. In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the Illuminati attempt to play this straight using a recall on a faulty biochip to provide their own and use it to control augmented people. This is ultimately averted by Hugh Darrow who uses the same biochip recall to drive augments into madness out of jealousy.
