Origin Chasers

Origin chasers are people who intentionally pursue breakthroughs. It is a hazardous pursuit; since most breakthroughs occur under stressful or traumatic circumstances, the consequences of not achieving a breakthrough are often damaging, if not fatal.

Origin chasers have most commonly used physical peril, extreme physical stress or trauma, or psychoactive drugs to attempt their breakthroughs, and every year thousands of would-be breakthroughs wind up in hospital emergency rooms and morgues.

Shelly is the key example of an origin chaser. See also Origin Sellers.
