EmilyRedcross

Her name is Emily Redcross who travels the waste as a high-end mercenary for the highest buyer. She has a former career service as a negotiator with the military, which is the direct result of her unique choice in rather talking things out than shooting things out. Because of the apocalypse happening, people and animals alike became mutated for better and the worse, luckily Emily was on the winning side of that bargain and her own skeleton transformed to adamantium bones, virtually removing the possibility of limb damage, making Emily an extremely durable gal even for her nimble frame. This mutation alongside the change in her own body also changed her natural brown eyes into a shiny silvery color.

She travels with two companions, one of which is her dog she cared for before the apocalypse happened. Named Roosevelt, the German Shepherd worked as a search and rescue dog who excelled at Emily’s local fire station who became the owner of after she volunteered at the station, since then their bond has grown ever strongly. Her second travel companion, a woman she met after the Apocalypse happened, was a girl named Eleanor who worked as a private-eye. After having her life saved by Raiders from Emily, Eleanor left her dangerous lifestyle and began traveling alongside Emily. Her own mutation was beneficial. The mutation accelerated her brains cognitive and processing function, allowing her to think and react at a much higher rate than any other in the wasteland. Eleanor carries a crossbow she found on a dead body after the apocalypse, and Emily uses her Father’s hunting double-barreled shotgun and a combat knife she picked up during her travels in the wasteland.

Being a negotiator, Emily has turned to a life of greed. In order to survive she must find a way to secure a proper income of the apocalypse’s currency, which became bottle caps after pre-apocalypse money was either burned or lost. She became a well-known con artist who worked as her own boss, often playing both sides of any story. For example, Emily had one day encountered a raider who threatened to kill a merchant if the merchant didn’t pay up the money she owed. Stepping into the fray, Emily talked the raider into paying her 200 dollars to retrieve the money she owed, then talked the merchant 200 dollars to get rid of the raider and promptly gunned the raider down and left.
