~*History:
Tainted was just another kid living her normal everyday life, well normal to her standards. Most would say she was born a little eccentric, but or the most part she was your average A- personality. Her life revolved around painting, writing, attempting to get away from the city only to be foiled every time, maintaining her almost perfect but not quite OCD GPA of 3.85, and how she was going to break it to her parents that she was dating a chopper pilot in the Marines.
Ever since she was little she had a thing for sharp objects and fire, and never really got over her childlike wonder for them.
Said pilot taught her how to fly, off the books of course, and how to take care of weapons of every sort. Though not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, as her father always said, he was a good heart, a steady hand, and what he taught her came to use. In the end, what it came down to was she, though smarter than the boy of nineteen, damn well enjoyed his company and when her father attempted to come between them, she took Joshua's side without hesitation he was hers, and that was final.
Eventually her fathers hatred subsided into mild dislike and things in the Brimacombe household sank back to an placid calm. Tainted and her Marine continued to date, her older sister, Ariel, continued to go to college, and her parents continued to question the propaganda shoved in their faces on a daily basis. See her folks were what people call, "too smart for their own good", they had good brains on their shoulders and one of the things that Tainted most admired about them was their complete lack of fear to challenge the status quo.
When they couple began to publicly oppose what was going on, they brought attention to their not so obedient behaviors and to that of their youngest daughter. And one day when she got home and called out to them to announce she had arrived, she was greeted by silence. Wondering round the house she found her sister sitting at the dining room table, which was set for four, eating. Upon questioning, she Ariel simply said "The white coats took 'em." and kept on eating. After a few moments of silence Tainted sank on to the couch and called Joshua, and got his voicemail every time. in a brief pause between bites, Ariel, with a placid little smile commented on her littler sisters frantic look, "You can stop calling your Marine, they got him too."And with a sip of water she added "And I'm pretty sure you're next." Tainted couldn't wrap her head around what her older sister was saying, and how in the world she could be such a coward. That was until her sister motioned with her head to a microphone hidden in the flower pot, and mouthed "RUN". In a mix of fear, relief, anger, and pure shock, Tainted grabbed what objects of survival she could shove in Joshua's old ALICE pack and booked it on foot for three days till she reached the Zones.
It's been a year by her reckoning, and she has been a nomad ever since, scavenging what she can, relying on her instincts, and praying that what the white coats were doing with him and her parents wasn't to vile. The best thing she could hope for was that they had met a merciful and quick death, for the stories she has heard over the months about the white coats weren't to pretty. As an outlaw she aligned herself with the Killjoys and became known as Tainted Timebomb, keeping her old self quiet out of fear for her still civilian sister.
With many scars, a few tattoos, and a don't fuck with me attitude, this seventeen year old is one damn powerful firecracker.
