Story
Riley
Riley is a loud troublemaker, she is very blunt, reckless, careless, and stubborn. Being extremely difficult to raise, she bounced around foster homes after her parents died when she was 5, eventually landing with a very religious family which made a lot of things worse. She has a deep resentment for authorities and is easily irritated, being later diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). She later found a passion in baseball, which helped a bit with her anger. As she grew up she hung out with the local kids, meeting her now best friend Owen the mongoose, who easily matched her crazy.
Riley is a rebel at heart, she enjoys skateboarding, graffitiing, urban exploring and parkouring. When a meteor storm entered the atmosphere, she and Owen gathered to watch when they saw one touch down just outside the city limits, by the time they got there to check it out, it was already swarmed with ROSCORP officials who seemed to be carrying containers of something. They brushed it off until a month later, when Riley and Owen were messing around in one of their favorite abandoned buildings, this particular spot being a factory, they had found an opossum twitching and foaming at the mouth, when they got closer to investigate, some sort of blue slime mold had oozed out of the opossum and then leaped at Riley, absorbing itself into her body.
Riley was glad she never went to the hospital, as after weeks of feeling like she was going insane from the intense mood swings and bizarre cravings, the slime mold had introduced itself as the “something” that she and Owen had seen a month prior. The “something” introduced itself as Break, a symbiote just seeking refuge from the experiments it was subjected to, and told Riley it had intended to jump ship from her but found she was a perfect match to host itself within and thought she would be useful, as she needed help to break out the other trapped symbiotes. Overtime Riley and Break began to trust each other, especially since they suited each other's needs. Riley would go exploring and use Break’s augments to her body to explore underwater without needing to surface for air, and fixing her injuries when she messed up a parkour jump, and Break would use Riley’s exploratory hobbies and rebellious nature to help sustain herself on the chemical she needed to survive, found in abundance within the brain that she would eat from others.
Break
Break is a symbiote hailing from Klyntar, she is tired, apathetic, and usually grouchy, later picking up a similar temperament to her host, Riley. Break arrived to earth via asteroid whereupon she was immediately scooped up and held within the ROSCORP labs and had tests run on her. Forced to bond with incompatible hosts was draining and being forced to do it every other day because they would expire quickly.
One day, ROSCORP had introduced a host that was particularly compatible to Break and she used the opportunity to break out of the facility, and into the surrounding area where she made the host run as fast as it could until it got to a nearby town and she was able to jump ship. She was able to avoid ROSCORP’s attempts to catch her when she was spotted a few times, but eventually made it to where she met Riley. She didn't have to do much convincing to get Riley to help her break out the other symbiotes as Riley already had a bleak outlook at life, and after another big argument with her parents she was ready to help.
After Break broke out her companions, she decided to stay within her host, who was an almost perfect match as she thought her interesting, with her hobbies and her aggressive tendencies which she could utilize to sustain herself.
Trivia
