that’s the commercial that’s been playing on televisions and radios all over the small town of Roet since the meteor shower hit over 30 years ago. The meteor shower was a strange event that lead to even stranger ones. Silver crystals, contained in the meteors, spread throughout the town (and a few surrounding areas) and affected many different things different ways.
Kenneth Ornan, founder of MeteorCorp, Realized the power stored within these Crystals and used them to power his machines, and make his products. His commercial didn’t lie, everything he made with the crystals, made people’s lives easier. But all that is beside the point.
Nicholas Ornan, Kenneth’s son and inheritor of the company, has changed the image of the company completely. Where Kenneth had happy employees who would do anything for him, Nicholas’s employees hate him with a passion, but because of the contract they’ve signed, they’re stuck working for him...for as long as they live.
In a way, you could say that Nicholas ‘helps’ his employees and the people in the town...if you call ‘helping’, taking people once they die and bringing them back to life so they can work as his test subjects forever. That’s right, he takes people, who’ve finally found peace and forces them to work as slaves.
But those brought back are flawed, they either age rapidly or their bodies can’t stay stable for long without an injection made of a liquified form of the silver crystals that Nicholas teasingly calls “Life”. Without this injection, the ones brought back (normally referred to as “The Risen”) are sent into fits that cause them pain or they bleed from their eyes, depending on how long they went without “Life”. Some can go longer than others and their fits can be a little less violent, it all depends on the person, really.
Several people have caught wind of these horrible rumors and know them to be true. These people, both living and Risen, have formed a group called Collision and they’re trying to find a way to bring MeteorCorp down and hopefully find something that can either give The Risen a full life again or give them the eternal peace they once had.
Collision has given MC a new slogan, and it certainly makes more sense: “We here at MeteorCorp are here to destroy you. We could care less about our customers and we’re doing everything we can to make your death harder.”
Rules:
1.) No godmoding
2.) Relationships can happen
3.) I’d like to have at least two on each side
4.) Someone will have to play Nicholas Ornan
5.) No more than two characters each
6.) ...what is this 6 you speak of?...it never existed and never will...read on

Name: Dominick (Nickname: Reaper)
Age: 27
Side: Collision member/ Risen
Weapon: gun/his hands
Personality: quiet, very distant, protective, calm, but a bit reckless
Background: his father left his mother before he was even born, so he grew up never knowing him, but it didn’t bother him. Though he and his mother didn’t have much, she did well to put him through school and he got a good job at a hospital.
One day, while at work, his mother was rushed in because she had suddenly passed out in the street. She was diagnosed with something that the doctors could seem to treat. While he was checking up on her at night, she asked him to smother her. He hesitated, but after she pleaded, he tried,. but the equipment alerted the doctors and he was caught. The doctors tried to wrestle him away and, in the struggle, he was thrown out of the 4th story window. Needless to say, he died.
When he hit the ground, he landed on crystals discarded by the hospital and two were lodged in his wrists. MeteorCorp got a hold of his body and they performed the procedure to make him a Risen. As he woke up, he grabbed one of the doctors by the arm to ask him what was going on, where he was. But as his hands touched the doctor’s skin, the crystals in his wrists reacted and the doctor turned to ash. He didn’t understand, but he managed to make it out of MC..unfortunately, he never got an injection of “Life” and started convulsing in the street.
Already alerted to the presence of a Risen, Collision found him and gave him the needed injection they stole from MC. But in the struggle, three members were killed by his touch. The other allowed him to join with them only if he agreed to wear gloves at all times (unless he was facing an enemy).
He’s been with Collision for seven years and has become a powerful member in the fight against MC. But Collision’s supply of “Life” is running low, and even though the crystals in his wrists keeping him from having anymore serious fits, he doesn’t know how long he’ll be able to go before he breaks down and uses his ability on himself.
