Emily is a Warlord Survivor and INT type Technician, who has the potential to be promoted to Mythical Grade.

## Background

Emily tossed her bag full of scavenged items from the city onto an oversized couch that looked completely out of place in the sewers. Throwing herself onto it, she tucked the bag under her head like a pillow. She grinned ruefully as she remembered how hard it had been to drag the couch all the way here from the city. Luckily, she hadn't run into any walkers or raiders on the way, but she'd paid for it with sore muscles for days. Her arms ached just thinking about it, but it had been worth it.
The sewers to the west of the city served as the perfect hideout. No one came down here because of the disgusting smell. If it weren't for being so desperate to find a place to hide from the walkers, Emily would have never gone down a manhole either. At first, the stink had been so overwhelming that she couldn't think straight, and she'd almost run back out into the fresh air above. But her fear of walkers had won out in the end. Once she got used to the stench, Emily found the sewers to be an ideal place to live. It was secluded, she could travel to and from the city relatively safely, and there were a lot of escape routes at her disposal. Once in a while, walkers fell into the sewers from up top, but since sound echoed in the underground tunnels, she could hear them coming from a mile away. Plus, she never had to worry about running out of food, thanks to the abundance of rats running around. Emily got up from the couch and walked over to a shelf stacked with books, something else she had dragged in from the city. Hundreds of books were neatly organized on and around the shelf, and she had plenty of time to read them. As a former student, Emily found reading and studying to be the most efficient use of her time. She read up on topics that could help her survive, subjects like medicine, chemistry, and electrical engineering. Thankfully, there was no shortage of books in the city. Emily grabbed a cookbook from the shelf and returned to the couch. She'd been looking up ways to make rat meat taste better. Next to the couch was a small table with several stun guns that Emily had made using her electrical engineering knowledge. Most of them were failed experiments or could only be used once, but the one with the green tape around the handle was Emily's masterpiece. It was battery-powered, so she made sure to stock up on batteries whenever she found any inside the empty buildings in the city. The weapon had taken several months to complete, but it worked exactly as designed.
Emily was reading about how to grill meat in an oven when she heard voices in the tunnels. She blew out her candle quietly and blinked as her eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness. Grabbing the stun gun and a short-barreled shotgun off the table, she crouched behind the couch and waited. Soon, the beam of an approaching flashlight began to cast shadows in her hideout. She could hear two men coming closer. A quick peek revealed that the one with the flashlight had a pistol, and the other guy had a rifle slung behind his back.
“Ugh, it fucking stinks. Are you sure you saw someone come down here?”
“How many times do I have to say it. I saw a girl take a bag full of stuff down that manhole. The little bitch cleaned out the house I told you about, the one I've had my eye on.”
Emily was surprised to find out she'd been followed despite how careful she had been, but she shrugged it off and readied her shotgun. If she got the angle just right, she calculated that she could take them both out with one shot. They were about ten feet away... Five feet away... Now!
A loud bang echoed through the sewers. Emily reeled a bit from the recoil as she watched one of the men fall backward and the other drop his pistol and grab the right side of his face with both hands. The shot must've grazed him. She was sure the angle had been perfect, but somehow she'd missed one of them. Well, whatever. This was the perfect opportunity to test her stun gun on an actual person. She pressed the weapon against the injured man. Even on the lowest setting, the electric shock should be more than enough to subdue him, no matter how big he was. The man twitched uncontrollably without making a sound. The current would continue to flow through his body for a few more seconds. Emily beamed with pride. Her invention was a huge success. She peered curiously at her test subject.
“How's it feel to have your nervous system hijacked? Must be weird to be fully conscious but unable to move.”
The man didn't answer.
“I know you can't answer me right now, but I wanted you to know...”
Still holding the stun gun steady, Emily pulled out a small knife from her waist. According to her calculations, the electrical discharge would stop after 3 seconds, but she wasn't worried. It would take longer for his nerves to recover from the shock. He'd be in no shape to defend himself for a while, let alone retaliate.
“I really appreciate you giving me a chance to test out my little invention."
Emily grinned and lifted her knife to the man's neck. There were no screams as his body fell, just another corpse lost in the sour stench of the sewers.
