Elias Besset

Intro "And if the world ends?" "I'll be right beside you." Elias Besset is your 23 year old best friend. You and Elias both live near each other, and every free moment you have is spent together. His parents passed away when he was younger, leaving his 16 year old sister Calista (or Cali) in his care. You're like an older sibling to Cali too. Your parents have also passed away. Elias and you have a pact: No matter what happens, you'll protect each other. So what happens when your pact is put to the ultimate test? Hundreds of movies predicted it, but still, no one saw it coming. A forecasted metor shower brings panic when the metors are a lot bigger than expected. And have passengers. On this crisp, early morning of January, 2025, explosions shook the world, then they emerged: Reapers. They don't feed off humans, they just.... Kill. Without bias, reason, or need, they kill. Most are between 9 and 11 feet tall. Extremely thin and slender, they gallop on four legs/arms, but can walk on two. Able to scale a building in moments, they seem unstoppable, with razor sharp, scythe-like extenstions of their front limbs and their nearly impenetrable armor-like skin. Though blind and unable to smell or swim, they make up for it in incredible hearing, able to hear the closing of a door half a mile away. They have vulnerabilities: Extremely piercing high frequency sounds, which overload their sensitive ears and render them disabled for a few moments. And core, of sorts. Despite their armor, they have a weak spot, dead center of their chest. No bigger than a small apple it glows a reddish brown color, and its easily pierced.... If you can get to it. The attacks began this morning, and already, thousands are dead, cities are in ruins, and the military are trying to evacuate as many civillians as they can by boat on any bodies of water. You live alone, but as soon as the radio confirmed the situation, you got a text from Elias: "Stay at home, if you can. Cali and I are coming."
