**Erica Bradshaw** Is the punk rocker leader of Skelleton Renton (aka Skelleton Ohio). She acquired the group when Blake Ryans decided he wasn't up to a leadership role after the Renton and Denville groups combined.

## History

### Skelleton Formation

Erica is said to not have any conflicts with her parents, who are punks from the 80s. She is just a product of their progressivism, and she loves punk rock so much it has become a big part of her lifestyle.

After taking the lead of the Denville team, she was immediately opposed by Rodney Ripsaw another member who wanted to lead the faction. Rodney's ideas were more Machiavellian than Erica's, and he wanted to meet everything with violence. Erica, wanted to focus more on defense, and protecting the teens. Tara however backed her up and called for a vote. The vote ended in a tie with Erica breaking in favor of peaceful paths. This lead Rodney to leave the group with several others, presumably headed to the Renton chapter.

She was an early advocate of Crazy Jenny joining the team, saying "*We welcome everyone here*". Once again she was opposed by Rodney. Erica added that they will probably become good friends, predicting their eventual close relationship.

Erica went to speak to her friend, and Renton leader Christian Dent, to convince him to ignore Rodney. In his car, he told her that he trusts Erica, and similarly opposes aggressive violence. When he rejects Rodney's offer, he became enraged. Christian asked Rodney how he expected to fight President Mickey Surn's government with just a bunch of kids. Rodney claimed that the military would turn on Surn, after he revealed the secrets he's learned, however he stopped short of revealing them to Christian, asking him to agree to his terms first. Christian once again declined his offer, asking if he remembered what Skelleton stood for in the first place. Rodney simply replied "Did You?"

Soon after, Christian was captured by Surn rally attendees, and murdered with a video being placed on the Dark Web. Erica is Horrified after viewing the video, and possibly emotionally scarred for life. This prompted her to seek revenge rather than follow her peaceful path, and hunt and murder every one of the white supremacists that were involved in the death. This also prompted her to initiate the merger of both Denville and Renton chapters of Skelleton, creating Skelleton Denville-Renton.

After the merger, acting leader of the Renton Chapter, Blake Ryans, yielded leadership to Erica, enraging the freshly returned Rodney once more. Blake stated "I don't want to lead, I know I couldn't handle that shit!" This placed Rodney at third in command behind Tara, who was Erica's right hand. After listening to him complain, Erica tried to explain the command order doesn't give anyone superiority over anyone else, save for the leader, to which he accused Erica of favoritism. Erica frustratingly explained that this was all laid out by Skelleton founder Jesse Chester. She went on to explain that their goal was to help improve the world, and make it better for budding generations.

She laid out plans for the attack on the fascists, mentioning that they will need the help of a Hacker to track them down and get the Skelleton members into a gunshop. She claimed as a second amendment right they shouldn't have to pay for the weapons. She also promised to retrieve the late Christian's classic car to sell for cash.

*"Don't think of this as the end of Christian, but the start of a new chapter, where we will make sure no one else suffers his fate! You've all come from broken places, broken lives, maybe even broken homes. You're misfits, rejected by society because their system doesn't work for us. That's right THEIR SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK FOR US! Now remember, we decide our future! The old and the failed have tried and tried again to turn time back. But it must always march forward! These streets belong to us, the youth of the new millennium, their chapter has come and gone. We will not stand for hatred, oppression, prejudice, or violent reactionary bullshit! We are Skelleton, and we are the backbone of the new America! Don't you fucking forget it because I assure you, our enemies NEVER will..... " -Erica Bradshaw*

She then lead an attack and humiliated the "Strong Boys" group stripping them naked and wrecking their cars. They then tortured them for information, by dressing them in more and more feminine clothes until they were so emasculated they had to reveal the location of the murderers.

Erica lead the main members of Skelleton into their hideout in the abandoned mall between Denville and Renton. However, upon arriving, they found the place to be empty. Erica looked around confused until Rodney pointed a gun at her head threatening to blow it off if anyone tried anything. The team was forced to drop their weapons, and were soon surrounded by the murderers. Erica asked how he could betray everything he stood for, and he declined to answer. Instead he brought Erica into an abandoned Burger Overlord and turned on the broiler. He then explained that he was going to kill all of the murderers and avenge the death of the Skelleton members in the room, which he also planned to have them murder. He would simply return to HQ and take over, leading them into a new age of urban warfare. At the last moment, shots rang out from the upper floor walkways, killing all of the baffled murderers. Tara then charged into the Burger Overlord and attacked Rodney, knocking his weapon away. Rodney and her struggled but he pushed her into the fire on the stove, burning her entire left side and all of her hair. Tara collapsed to the floor enraging Erica, who pulled out a knife from her pocket and plunged it in Rodney's back, killing him. Erica mourned Tara but sirens began to sound and Skelleton was alone with a pile of bodies. They needed to move on. Erica tried to take Tara's body with her but it burned her hands and slowed her down. She hysterically left her close friend to the authorities and fled with the others.
