Applications

My name is Sarah.  I'm a wife and mother of two.  I want to join the uprising because my entire life has been pointless and you are the only option I have left.  My husband doesn't love me and I've spent so much time trying to get him to love me again that I neglected my children to the point where they've become little brats that I can't stand to be around.  They are lost to me.  I've given up all hope of getting either them or my husband to love me again.  Even if my kids said they loved me, I would know it was a lie.  How could they love me after how I've treated them?  And even if they did love me I don't love them.  I think my whole family would be better off if I just disappeared.  And my career is a joke, too.  I worked for one year before I got pregnant and by now, my degree is so far outdated that I would be laughed out of any job interview.  Except this one.  I have nothing left to live for, and that's exactly what you need.  My past gives me no fond memories and my future gives me no hope.  All I can do is live in the now.  That's exactly what you need.  Also, I have a very generic face, as my husband has told me, so I can blend into any crowd without a problem.

My name is Garret.  I think what you guys do is totally awesome and I am so totally on board.  I can't think of anything more sweet than the way you guys show the man what's what.  I can't even describe how excited I would be to join you.  Plus, I'm such a total screw up and so totally going no where with my life right now that I'm sure my parents would be thrilled to see me gone.

My name is Sam.  I am a shadow.  I am no one.  No one knows where I come from or where I go.  Unlike a shadow, I can be controlled, reigned in.  I want that.  I want to be controlled by you.  Use me.  I'm perfect.

My name is Roger.  I do not fear death.  I've already died twice, legally, and obviously been revived both times.  I used to be a daredevil when I was younger.  That's what got me killed, those two times.  I've had plenty of lovers, but no one I've ever connected with.  Love and attachments are not a concern.  I think I might even be incapable of love.  But I am not incapable of loyalty.  I was so loyal to my manager when I was a daredevil that I still listed him as my manager for five years after he was dead.  And speaking of being a daredevil, I have skills that you wouldn't believe.  I can twist myself, contort myself, throw myself, run over hot coals, jump an amazing distance, I can ride a motorcycle and drive a speed boat at speeds and angles you wouldn't believe were possible, I can also ski and snowboard, probably lots of other stuff I'm forgetting to list buy haven't forgotten how to do.  You need me, and I need to feel that thrill again.  Everything else has grown stale.  And I do not fear death.

My name is Charles, or Charlie if I like you.  I used to be in the army, active duty, so I'm smart enough to take orders and clever enough to improvise when needed.  I'm guessing that most of the applications you guys get are from desperate or crazy people.  People who have lost all hope.  People who want one last thrill in life, or don't even know what they want.  People who have illusions of grandeur but don't understand what they'd be fighting for.  I am none of those people.  I know what you really are, and I more than approve, I wish I had started it.  But since I didn't start it, all I can do now is join you.  Even if you don't accept me into your inner circle, I will do all I can to fight for you.  I know you try to keep it a secret, but I know that your cause is just and noble and something worth fighting for.  Most people come to you wanting to die, but I come to you wanting to live, and to give that life to others, others who won't even know what I did to help them.  I don't need you and maybe you don't even need me, but I want to be a part of what you are.  I want to help.  And I think that desire is something you won't get from anyone else you applies this way.
