Episode One: The Olive Branch

**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 Kensington, with whom she had a contentious relationship to begin with, but fell mutually in love with her despite the looming apocalypse.

## Description

Edison Tucker is a 32 year old woman. She is described as having brown eyes, lots of freckles, and long hair, though she cuts it short as of Episode Twenty-Seven: The Circle: Part 2. She has a tendency to dress in a tomboy-ish manner, preferring tank tops and jackets. She has a large tattoo of wings on her back. Ed 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, a self-described redneck, 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 Satan, 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

### Early Life

Ed was conceived through the union of Satan and an unnamed Angel. After her birth on Christmas Day in 1987, she was raised by her mother and a demon named Andras, who would go by the name Joe Tucker, in the remote town of Huttonsville, West Virginia. Growing up, Ed learned to be a real outdoors woman, able to hunt game and live off the land. Her mother, while she was around, would take her to church weekly, though Ed's half-demon nature caused her to get migraines while within the establishment.

At six years old, Ed was put in SSL classes due to the low expectations for her cognitive development. But during these classes, she would often work on any and every type of puzzle she could get her hands on. One day, she assembled a 100-piece jigsaw puzzle wih ease and caught the attention of her teacher, Daniel Cotter. He gave her a Rubix Cube to solve and she also managed with ease. Then he gave her a Magic Treehouse book and she couldn't understand what she was looking at. After giving her some wordless puzzle tests, he got her parents together and told them what he'd found - that Edison was dyslexic to the point of functional illiteracy but also that she had an IQ of 197. He pushed to get her into advanced courses with accessibility options, but the principal did not approve it since Ed could not pass a test with words. And thus Ed was stuck in SSL classes until her junior year, where she took the ACT, with questions read aloud, and scored a 35, and then a perfect 36 during her senior year. But even with that showing, Ed could not get into any colleges.

Duriing the years, Ed attempted suicide on several occasions. But, given her immortality from her status at the antichrist, it never "stuck" for her.

Ed then worked at a local slaughterhouse. Then, one night at Paulson's, a nearby bar, Ed ran into Mr. Cotter again. He said he wanted to help her and he followed through. He helped get her mental health disorders diagnosed (including bi-polar disorder and ADHD), got her properly medicated, his sister-in-law did her therapy for free, and he typed up her dictations. All this lead to her getting several college offers, including her pick of Stanford University.

### College Life

Edison arrived at Stanford University in her mid-20s excelled in her classes. She earned four doctorates in less than ten years and was tenured with the Stanford Biology Department before turning 30. The doctorates she earned are Biology, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, and Religious Studies. Her thesis for her Chemistry PhD was on a liquid form of captagon. For her Religious Studies PhD, her thesis was on the comparison of the Christian and Jewish interpretations of the story of Abraham and Isaac and how they reflect the different relationships that those two have with both God and religious texts.

Academically, she excelled, but socially, she felt alone.

**“***I’d worked my ass off to get there, turned my whole life around, and shown up at my dream school just to find out there was still something wrong with me. I was a hick, and I was poor, and I was different, and I was fucked. I thought I was miles above homesickness for this place, but I still got it, and I hated myself for that every time.***”**
— **Dr. Edison Tucker****, Episode Twenty-Seven: The Circle Part 2**

Eventually, she would be offered a grant to do Cryptozoological research out in Jerusalem, Oregon.
