**Dr. Edison "Ed" Tucker** is a nearly immortal scientist residing in Jerusalem, OR where she studies Cryptozoology. She is a professor at Standofrd University and has four Doctorates. Ed's immortality is due to protections placed upon her by ineffable beings due to her status as the Antichrist. She lives with her guardian angel, Lucille "Lucy" Kinsington, with whom she has a contentious relationship with as of The Perils Of Freelancing, though the two are warming up to each other.

## Description

Edison Tucker is a 32 year old woman. She is described as having brown eyes, lots of freckles, and hair that is at least medium length. She has a tendency to dress in a tomboy-ish manner, preferring tank tops and jackets. She is also very openly bisexual.

She has Doctorates in Biology, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, and Religious Studies. She is also functionally illiterate due to her extreme dyslexia. She's an outdoors type, which goes in line with her Biology Doctorate as she is more than willing to get down in the mud for her passions. She also makes heavy use of her Mechanical Engineering Doctorate to keep her 1986 Ford F-150, affectionately named Princess, running. Most surprising of all, her Religious Studies degree comes in real handy in her day to day life.

Ed is the Antichrist, a being born of an angel and a demon, who is set to bring about the Rapture and start the events of Revelation. Due to her unique status in the universe, she has some protections in place. Namely, she is physically immortal to all injuries, sickness, or other dangers that do not come from an ineffable source - that is from angels, demons, and their ilk.

Edison's unique physiology has given her a curiosity into the supernatural - mostly in that of Cryptozoology, the study of Cryptids. She has moved to Jerusalem, OR, funded with grant money from Stanford University, to conduct her research there.

## History

Edison's episode of *The Amelia Project* takes place roughly one week after episode 12 of *Where the Stars Fell*.

Prior to her arrival in Jerusalem, OR, The Interviewer witnessed Ed getting run over by and Range Rover outside of an In-N-Out and make a full recovery. He then approached her and asked her to do it again and he'd buy her a milkshake. He then has Salvatore shoot her in the face, ruining her favorite jacket. After this chance encounter, Ed worked as a freelance body-double for disappearances for The Amelia Project.

Prior work for The Amelia Project has included dying by an arsenic pill and being buried in cement one time and being mauled by a Bangladeshi tiger on another occasion.

After some time in Jerusalem, Ed gets a call and email about faking the death of Louisa Graves of "Andy Werewolf-hol's Factory of Screams" via heart attack. Unsatisfied with making only $150,000 for the job, which is more difficult on her considering she was paid more being buried in cement, she sets up a meeting to negotiate her pay.

Some time later, she meets with The Interviewer at The Holy Grill, a local diner. After some back and forth about Ed's past jobs for The Amelia Project and about the nature of her immortality, The Interviewer relents and not only agreed to the $200,000 she was seeking but actually offered $300,000. Ed thinks she'll use the money to get new cushioning for Princess' bench.

## Relationships

### The Interviewer

The Interviewer is the one who first recruited Ed into her freelance work for The Amelia Project. They first met when The Interviewer saw her get run over by a Range Rover outside of an In-N-Out. Seeing her miraculous recovery, he said he would buy her a milkshake if she did it again. He then had Salvatore shoot her in the face. After this, he recruited her for freelance work for death faking because a physically immoral person can be very handy in this line of work.

### Alvina Wright

As a freelancer, Alvina is Ed's point of contact with The Amelia Project. Alvina calls Ed to let her know there's an email coming for a new job, meaning she knows her email reading habits, or lack thereof. Ed also sent her an Aloe plant, though the thing got root rot from Britain's incredibly humid climate.

### Salvatore

Ed's only real interaction with Salvatore is after she met The Interviewer. Wanting a test of her immortality, The Interviewer had Salvatore shoot her in the face. This resulted in Ed's favorite jacket getting ruined.

### Lucille Kinsington

Lucy is Ed's housemate and guardian angel. She plays only a small role in the crossover episode of *The Amelia Project*. However, she does need reassurance that Ed did not kill the Pope for the money she received for the Graves disappearance.

### William Shakespeare

Ed's pet alligator lizard and she brought home after researching outside in Jerusalem. She taught him to roll over recently.

**“***Hey it’s me, uh, I just want to make sure I have the right date down for when you need me to come in. It’s the 14th, right? A big storm was about to hit, Alvina called me, she was breaking up a lot, so… If that’s not the day I’m supposed to get buried in cement let me know. Ugh, hold on.*
(YELLING) What did I tell you about touching my equipment?! Yes I did remember to secure the centrifuge, I- Oh shit.

Okay, just call me back if I got the date wrong. Thanks.***”***
