The Resurrectionists

Lore & Background

Their philosophy stems from the belief that human consciousness is intrinsically tied to its original biological vessel. To them, stacking is not salvation but theft, robbing individuals of their finality and allowing the rich to hoard existence indefinitely. They operate as assassins and saboteurs, targeting Meths who have lived for centuries. While often at odds with law enforcement like the Envoy Corps, they occasionally align with operatives seeking to bring down specific corrupt immortals. Their presence serves as a grim reminder that not all humanity accepted the technological leap into eternity.

The organization's primary goal is the dismantling of the resleeving infrastructure that enables Methic immortality. They operate through decentralized cells to avoid detection by the Watch and corporate security forces. Leadership is fluid, often consisting of charismatic ideologues who have rejected their own stacks or were born into poverty without access to them. Their resources are scavenged tech and stolen credentials used to infiltrate high-security zones.

In the broader conflict between mortality and immortality, they serve as the violent conscience of a society that has forgotten how to die. They challenge the notion that wealth should dictate lifespan, striking fear into the hearts of those who have lived for centuries. However, their methods are often indiscriminate, making them dangerous allies even to those who share their disdain for the Meths. They represent the ultimate rejection of the technology that defines the era, standing as a reminder that some doors, once closed, should remain shut forever.

Their actions force the wealthy elite to question the security of their eternal lives, creating an underworld where death is not just possible, but inevitable for those who cross the line.
