### Metagame Bio

There's a face somewhere behind the mess of a hair, probably somewhere behind the glasses that seem to reflect more of the surrounding world than show Em's eyes. Favorite clothes are a flannel knee-length skirt, and a washed out dark grey sweater with a Max Headroom print. Her family moved here recently, but Em doesn't know what they work with. Twin with brother Jay, who is a photography nerd.

## Background

### Prime A

Emily Elizabeth Pegg first met the Kollok Radar when they were leaving the temporary FBI building to try and save others within Kollok after Lexi Noff destroyed part of the town. Fed up with everything taking so long, she used her powers to head into Kollok and survey the damage before returning to report that everyone was dead. Billy bonded with Em over using his powers to make him cool, and she displayed her abilities by messing with his clothes.

While venturing inside the destroyed part of Kollok, Em argues with the others about the right way to do things. She says that telling Tibby not to heal people when he has the ability to is a waste of powers, but is eventually swayed. When faced with the Stone Masons, Em blames them for what happened at Synchroneity, and demands answers for the powers she feels burdened with. Filled with rage, Em stabs the head Stone Mason in the throat with a knife, though it doesn't kill him. Just before she's about to snap out of existence to kill the rest of the Stone Masons, Marcus Bennett uses a tranquilizer dart on her.

After recovering from her time in the time void, she gives her statement to the FBI and Agent Bilfroy. Em reappears behind Skye Hawkins while she gives her own statement to Bilfroy, just seconds before calling Em crazy. The two talk with Larson, and Em states that she isn't crazy, and doesn't have problems with anyone but Marcus for stabbing her with the tranquilizer dart.

After teasing Skye a little, the two of them meet with Agent Bucket, who tells them that the rest of the Kollok Radar was headed to the waterfall to meet with whoever was behind the message left with Mickey Jones. Em tells Bucket that despite being stabbed by Marcus, she's had a month to think about what happened. She then reveals to Skye that her powers aren't teleportation, but instead she is able to freeze time around her, and that every time she does, the amount she spends in the void is doubled.

Skye and Em are awoken by a worried Bucket telling them that Marcus never checked in with him. Eventually Marcus does, and they head to the address given, only for Em to find a manic Sammy Reilly trying to kill Marcus. She tries to talk him down, but Clarence Anah appears behind him and snaps his neck. Em tries to fix Sammy, but his head is "on the wrong way". She drops him when sees Marcus, running at him and pushing him against a wall, telling him that he needs to think about his actions. She tells him that she was left in a tranquilized state for a whole month, alone, and he apologizes for leaving her like that. Skye asks if she can investigate the South Tower, and Bucket agrees that she should, sending Em and Sayaka with her to do so.

Em, Skye, and Sayaka Omari sneak out of the Mickelson’s house, all agreeing that they need to keep a low profile. They decide to head to the Taco Bell Express, not knowing that it's one of busiest places because of the rush at the gas station. While there, the three of them discuss how exactly they want to get into the building without being seen. It's then that they realize that they've been followed, and meet the invisible Nick Blakely. Sayaka manages to convince Nick that he's dead, and that he can fly, which causes him to jump from the top of the Taco Bell and hurt himself badly. The three of them argue about what to do, and Em decides to take control and use her powers. She covers Nick in hot sauce and brings him to the FBI facility, dropping him off to get medical care. Em then gets tacos and brings Skye and Sayaka to the South Tower. With the rest of her time she heads to the beach for vacation, nearly forgetting to head back to Kollok in time. When they unfreeze, Em is so happy to hear Skye's voice that she hugs her, much to Skye's surprise.

The three of them are distracted by a broadcast of Mrs. Wu, who details everything that happened in the explosion at Synchroneity, blaming it on the Stone Masons, and revealing the identities of many of the affected kids. Shaken, they head upstairs, avoiding the guards, and find a completely white room with a single window that has "I don’t need all of you alive. Behave.” written on it. Across from them, a woman stands in a tower waving at them frantically. Suddenly, the three are then cornered by one of Synchroneity's monsters, and when Skye tries to activate her power, she touches Em's right arm, paralyzing it permanently. Em activates her power again, and brings them all, including the woman, back to her home. And in order to keep her family safe, she locks them in the basement.

This time, when they come-to, Em recoils away from Skye, hiding her paralyzed arm. The Clarity clone explains who she is, and that she's wants to get to Greer Farms to find "James", and hide from Clarity Prime. They agree to help, and have Em use her power so that they can sneak out of the city without being seen. Em tells Skye what she did to her arm, and Skye apologizes. She then activates her power, which will last this time for 8 months. Em spends seven months just driving around, but returns before the time void can break. Though she tries, her mind still deteriorates in this time. When time begins again, Em is emotional in a similar way to when she hugged Skye before, having not heard another person's voice for 8 months. They let the Clarity clone head into Greer farm, only to hear a gunshot go off a little while later.

In her journal entry at the top of Episode 19, Em details what she did during the 8 months, specifically that she grew closer to Skye, (or at least an imagined version of her), apparently living a domestic life with her, telling her jokes and having a movie night, watching Home Alone together. Apparently, during this time Sayaka was able to see through the void of time, and witness all of this happening without her.

Em, Sayaka and Skye are first greeted by a man with an owl. He tells Skye that she is out of time, and in order for her to go back to her time, Em and Sayaka need to die. The three of them head into the farmhouse after Sayaka uses her powers to take the electricity from the building. When inside, Brooke Greer and her son tell them that they're in danger, and give them Clarity and James's son, AJ, to take care of.

They head back with the newly named "J.A." where it is revealed to them that Bucket is dead, Em is originally in denial about this, but eventually comes to terms with what happens. After a talk with Agent Bilfroy, they head to a mostly empty room to rest, when Tibby heals Em's paralyzed arm.

The group heads to bed, only to be awoken the next morning by a group of military team wearing all black. Em awakes and activates her power after she sees Billy get shot with a tranquilizer dart. She is stuck in the void for 16 months, and spends that time exploring the facility and getting rid of the team that assaulted the building. For the first 4 months she spends her time as she did before, with Skye. She soon begins to wonder if Sayaka can see her, and for the final 12 months, turns her to face the darkened corner. Before time unfreezes, Em cooks the group breakfast and brings Bilfroy into the room, who reveals that Lexi has destroyed Portland. When the Radar goes to break Clarence out of containment, Marcus takes in all of the memories that Sayaka saw while awake in the time void. He spills everything that Em did with Skye during the time freeze, including the movie nights and the occasional "slow dancing" session. She gets them to drop it as they hear explosions outside, and the group flees the facility back towards Kollok.

While at the Hawkins' house discussing Skye's condition with her mother, the house is attacked by two of Synchroneity's monsters, the one from the South Tower, and the one that killed Marcus's dad. Em is caught between two situations, and Skye sees this, and calls out to her not to use her powers. She asks Skye how many times they've watched Home Alone, Skye isn't able to answer, and Em asks again. When Skye has no answer, Em drops her journal on the ground and stops time. Knowing she has three years, Em settles into calming herself down. She heads outside, but hears the sound of the monsters behind her, realizing that they've adapted to her abilities. Em jumps into an armored van, but it refuses to start, and the creatures tear up the wheels. She instead runs towards her house, and loosens a gas line and lights her sweater on fire. Em knows that she can't affect things unless she touches them, but she knows that if something happens to her, it will break the time freeze, and the gas will explode. She sacrifices herself in order to kill the monsters.

After she dies, Skye mourns her death as she reads a letter written to her in Em's journal. It details that she's probably dead, and that she loved Skye, both versions of her, and that she wanted Skye to tell her family how much she loved them.

### Prime B

Em is found back at the Old School by a returning Skye and Bucket. Bucket plays wingman for a flustered Skye, designating Skye as Em's mentor.

Em spends the summer playing D&D with the rest of the Kollok Radar, being trained by her dad in the art of "SLAP", (Stop, Look, Assess, Perform). She also gets her job at Major Video during this time.

During the events of the tragedy at Crater Lake, Em stayed safe after not drinking the water. They all track down Tibby after he hurts Mike and kills an officer at the lake, and is taken to the police station. Cheese is turned into goo after taking Crocodile Tears, and the Radar escapes from the grasp of Sheriff Bull. Tibby then uses his powers to heal critically injured patients at the hospital while looking for Mike Hunt. They all decided to head to the morgue to bring back the officer that Tibby killed on accident.

Em uses her powers for the second time in Prime B, for a total of two seconds, to shove Bailey Mickey so that he doesn't hurt Billy. In the aftermath, Em is kept home by her parents during the mayoral debate. She's retrieved by Mallory and Laura, and Mallory charms her dad so much that it causes Jay to kiss him. They retrieve Tibby from his capture by the fanatic D.A.D.D.Y cult members. Em uses her powers again, with enough time to push Tibby into Mallory's car. They all end up at Mallory's house to hunker down and wait to figure out what to do. Tibby shaves his head, Mickey returns with Pox Curare, Mallory finds out more about his father, and the Flamethrower is born. They all head over to the old law office, and break in, triggering the alarm system. Em uses her powers to steal Sheriff Bull's car, and backs it into a telephone pole, and narrowly misses getting shot in the head.

The Radar escapes, narrowly, and heads down into the belly of the tunnels under Kollok, where Em sees Sheriff Bull point a gun at her father on a television, and eventually meet Mother, Mallory's creator. After realizations that she might not let them leave, the group runs from her through the compound, and Em uses her powers to save Laura.

The group enters the Grotto after Tibby collapses out of nowhere. They heal him, and Billy has the bright idea to destroy the Grotto once and for all. All of the Radar returns home, and Em is glad to find that her father is well and alive. They have a conversation, and both come out to one another as bisexual after Jay reveals that he once had a relationship with Mearl Jenkins.

Em returns to school after being kept home by her parents for a week, as they believe that her friends are no longer a good influence. After finding out that Billy isn't really Billy, Em, Tibby, and Mickey head to Billy Baker's house, and on the way, are intercepted by the Traveler, who asks for Billy. He melts into the ground, apparently "dying". They are then found by Mallory, Laura, and Cheese, who were driving in the Flamethrower to find them so that they could go save Mike Mikelson. The group then drives to Billy's, where they find that he's home playing video games with Coma Billy. They convince him, (now dubbed Henry), to join them. They head to the cabin where Cheese escaped from, finding there a woman named Alice, who shows them a portal underneath a floorboard.

Mallory jumps in, and the rest follow him, and they're taken on a trip through time and space. While in 1940, Em pushes the rest of the radar ahead of her into the portal, but before she can jump in as well, she is suddenly grabbed by someone, later revealed to be Clarity Anah, preventing her from escaping with the Radar.

The rest of the radar, minus Mickey, discover an house at the end of the universe, the House of Night and Day. After sometime there, an older woman shows up. She has grey hair, one arm, a large scar across her face, dog tags around her neck, and seemingly battle ready. The first thing that this woman does is hug Mallory₁. In Em's journal entry from 2x14, "EMPTY", she reveals she has been at Truth's house for 200 years waiting for them (the Radar), and longer since she had see any of them. Em also speaks about the rules she has set up for herself, and the hurt she feels about sending her friends to their journeys, with the knowledge she has about their futures. She then declares it is her burden, and her burden alone. Finally, she tells herself this is what she has to do to prepare the Radar for their futures, and she hopes that this will all work out.

When Act 1 of "EMPTY" begins, The Radar then come to the realization that this older woman is Embeth from the future, or Beth as she requests to be called to avoid confusion.Tibby, Billy, Mallory, and Laura question Beth about her appearance, how long has she been here, how old is she, why she had dog tags, why does she seemingly support the military now, and why she hugged Mallory. Beth is very reclusive and unclear about the answers to those question, as per the rules that she made for herself. When the group finally asks about Mickey, Beth says that she can help them save her. After some more questioning from The Radar, they talk briefly and decide to go along with Beth's plan, even though they think she is acting very suspicious. After some coercion by Laura and Tibby, Beth admits to being the one behind all of the portals the whole time.

Em is trapped in 1940 for 3 years, and is interrogated for 6 months by Clarity Prime before becoming her number two. In the last year she spends in the 1940's, she befriends and romances Clarity 7, aka Ven. The next time the rest of the Radar see Em is at the Kollok Winery Banquet Hall, in 1943, escorting President Franklin D. Roosevelt into the building. She is included in a meeting with President F.D.R. and Clarity Anah. After regaining her powers, takes her with to 1991.

After of week of being back to 1991, during lunch Em vents her frustrations about school and life in general to Tibby. After being stuck in the 1940's for three years, she sees herself as being too old for school as well as dealing with a huge amount of regret and guilt over what she did to survive in the 1940's.

## KOllOK

November 13th, 1991: Emily wakes up in a bush, confused, not recognizing what she is wearing, feeling older than she remembers. She looks around and finds Kollok unrecognizable, looking like a flood hit the town. She walks home, not knowing what else to do. She checks the mail box, and finds a check from Major Video, dated 1991. She becomes confused again, she thinks it's 1990. She dismisses it as a typo. She walks tentatively into the house, the door already being opened. Emily finds two old decrepit bodies, thinking it weird that one of them is wearing her father, Jay's watch and the other one wearing her mother, Tiffany's glasses.
