Synopsis
Alright, down to business. War has sprung up in the northern reaches of the world. Dictator of Heaven Hieghts, Ezekiel Higgins, is hell bent on world domination and has claimed a large portion of land with the help of another country by the name of Carreece as well as a few others. So far many have fallen under the wrath but one country has managed to retain its territory and front, Currouse. Heaven Hieghts and Careece had then set out to invade their mother country but the ending result is less than desirable. The enemy forces fell into a trap along the front lines and their forces were exhausted. In arrogance, Currouse moved forward only to find that they have overestimated their own forces and underestimated the enemy. Heavy losses ensued on both sides and the war has since evened out. Both sides continued to fight relentlessly, wanting to settle for nothing but victory.
It was four long years until something possibly beyond the understanding of man brought new challenges to the snowy land. A meteor shower had broken through the atmosphere, pelting the warring lands. Along with this, many had died due to the after effects of these meteors. Radiation from the bits of unbroken debris had caused many to fall ill and die. Not all that had been exposed died, in fact some say that they prospered. Those very few who'd survived have been rumored to carry a certain ability, the ability to see the death of another. Though they cannot control this nor do they know what it is or where it is from. Most are frightened by it and have been driven mad. Its been rumored among psychologists and medical practitioners that there have been a handful of patients admitted into mental facilities claiming to see others as mere walking corpses.
Along with these gifted individuals, came a long something equally as unusual. Bits of the meteors can still be found as red lenses about an inch wide and six inches in diameter. Not many of them survived the fall and a rumored few have been found, but it is also rumored that these fragments, a long with the those who can see the dead, once put together have the power to turn the war in the favor of who ever obtains them. One problem is that these cannot be handled by normal humans, only those who have suffered from the radiation and survived. Normals humans actually have to touch them in order for it to have its effects unlike when they first fell, for the objects themselves do not retain their power, only when they are in the hands of those who survived do they retain it.
Upon catching word of this, enemy and allied forces began to search for and hunt down these individuals and fragments in order to turn the war in their favor. So far the search is on going but neither side has been too successful.
Character Sign Up
You can be one who sees the dead, a normal person carrying a 'dead' fragment, or government officials on either side. Keep in mind we need a variety for this to work well, meaning nobody just on one side and they cant all be seers. Hell, even bring in your own nation if you want, its supposed to be a world war any how.
Also BE CREATIVE. That is always very much encouraged so feel free to go out on a limb. You can have one character and/or your nation working with the enemy or allied forces.

Here's Mine:
Name: Siv Audan
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Occupation: None
Seer Yes/No: Yes
Attire: Siv usually wears a long red coat with fur lining to protect her from the snow, fur lined snow boots and a simple white dress with lace around the seams.
Appearance/pic: Siv is about average height and build for a fourteen year old. Her hair is dark brown and he eyes originally were dark blue but during the meteor shower she'd injured her left eye and now has a bandage wrapped around her head covering it, though if that bandage was taken off one would see that her left eye is actually now a very light shade of cobalt blue (no she's not blind in that eye). Her skin is very pale but she's got some very pale freckles going across the bridge of her nose.
Personality: Siv is quiet and thoughtful and isnt very social. She seems very innocent and powerless but this is quite the contrary, having been trained at a military bording school. Her patience can often become short but but she'll often suppress this and hold her tongue if she's got anything to say. Something that peeves her most is when people underestimate her because of her age, if they do she'll become belligerent and much more determined to show them she isnt the average fourteen year old. She'll become agitated when people ask where she is from or for her full name because she cannot remember either of those.
Weapons: A small military issue pistol she'd taken from a dead body and now conceals in her coat.
Bio: Siv grew up in a small fishing village on the Zenai inlet. At the start of the war her family had not been affected but soon Siv and her twin sister, Sara, had been drafted into a military boarding school to be prepped as soldiers. There, they learned basic, and not so basic, fighting styles including marksmanship and swordsmanship as well as things like how to make explosives but also math, literacy and history. Siv had always been a bit behind her sister, being the less violent and more brainy of the two, though they both got high marks in their classes. Siv stayed with her sister at this boarding school until one night, when they'd gone out into the forest to a clearing to star gaze, they'd suddenly noticed that all of the stars had begun to fall and a meteor struck the clearing. Being a lot closer to the point of impact, Siv sustained injuries much worse than that of her sister, having broken several bones, suffered a few minor burns and injuring her eye so badly they doctors had thought she'd go blind while her sister only suffered burns. That, however, did not mean that her sister was okay. After being found and being taken back to the relatively untouched school, and being put into the infirmary, a week or so later both of the girls got extremely sick, their symptoms showing classic radiation poisoning. Sic eventually pulled out of this, her sister on the other hand did not and less than week from when she got sick, was confirmed dead at 9:21 PM. Siv stayed in the infirmary until when she was almost completely healed, the school had been bombed in an aerial raid.
Suffering from shell shock, Siv cannot remember a great portion of her past, only her name, the meteor fall and her sister's death. However, she'll occasionally have a dream or vision of something that happened in the past, though not always to her liking. But after, she'd runaway from the school and is now wandering about. Staying with soldiers and who ever offers her work in exchange for food, shelter and sometimes money.
Siv is unaware that she is a Seer or of what a Seer even is, though she'll often see soldiers or civies walk by as nothing but a corpse and do her best to suppress it.
