HELPERS - Genesis

  • 15 years ago
There was no apparent reason for Chuck, Skinny and Loona to ever meet. Up until the day when they all decide to take their revenge on a cigarette factory that they each hold responsible for a tragedy in their personal lives. But once they get to the factory, an explosion splashes them with toxic waste. They undergo a crazy metamorphosis which will change their lives for ever. From now on they have one sole aim in their life: protect people’s health before it’s too late.

Characters:

The Cessation Helper
Ex-lumberjack, short, stocky and nervy. He’s the brute of the group.
A repentant ex-smoker, Chuck worries about the health of the people around him.
So when he offers you the choice of you crushing your cigarette, or him crushing your head, you’re somewhat inclined to follow his advice. But behind his rough manners Chuck has a heart as big as his fists.
His motto: “Act first, think later…”

The Passive Helper
Ex-basketball player, very tall, skinny and not the least bit lively.
With a body like a mouldy sausage, Skinny’s health gradually worsened because of his girlfriend’s tobacco addiction. Given his incredibly slow reaction time, the poor guy must have really suffered…
His motto: “Take it slow in the morning, and not too quickly in the afternoon”

The Prevention Helper
Ex-monitor in a youth camp, small, willing to help and diplomatic, she’s the intellectual of the group.
An ex-smoker, she has been fighting tobacco since her own carelessness wrought horrific consequences on her entourage. Since that moment, her mission is to stop people smoking – she would even stop a barbeque from smoking…
Her motto: “Prevention is better than death”

The stupid mascot
Asexual, useless and masochistic, all are appropriate terms for this freak of nature.
To their great dismay, Tapas fell in love with the Helpers who can no longer get rid of him. So they create a role for him: he’s their punchbag…
His motto: “There's no harm in harming oneself"
