Rory Murchison is a fidgety and energetic young man, tall and thin with long polychromatic hair. He's a guitarist and singer by trade and also handles much of the song writing duty for Vengeance Word. Rory is congenial and personable most of the time but he has a tendency to get moody and sullen, especially when asked about his family. He is a fiery performer, renowned for his energy and stage antics. He has also been known to flip out and start destroying objects on the stage completely at random—a tendency which keeps his bandmates on their toes at all times. For this reason, stage crashing at a Vengeance Word concert is considered a poor proposition. More than one unlucky soul who tried this has been batted into instant unconsciousness with one smack from Rory's guitar.
Rory Murchison shared his uncle's predilection for music. A guitarist of no small talent by his sixteenth year, he vowed to use his music as a weapon against International Electric. Now, in 2020, Rory is only twenty-two years old, but he is already one of the most successful rockerboys in the world. Rory has assembled a band whose members all have some gripe against major commercial corporations. Rory's band has toured several countries under the name Vengeance Word, attracting huge crowds in the combat zones of cities in the U.S.,Japan and Europe, and splitting the bill with famous rockerboy bands like Blood and Ice and Pervert Cupid. The music has a strong anti-corporate bent, specifically targeting IE, Arasaka and NET 54, each of which has wronged some member of the band. The band also uses the touring as a cover for launching sabotage missions against agents and facilities belonging to these corporations. Not being solos, however, the effects of these endeavors have been more cosmetic than anything else. The band has weathered several assassination attempts and all of its gigs are carried out under the constant threat of disruption and attack. Of course, that's exactly the kind of thing that attracts a combat zone audience.[1]
