[ *  *  *  *  *  * ]
Name: Evelyn "Eve" Rogers
Age: 88
Gender: Female
Faction: Civilian

Appearance: Eve is 5'1" and weighs 96 pounds. Her once-dark brown hair has long since grayed. She keeps it tied in a tight bun, only letting it down to sleep. Her pale face shows many wrinkles, largely creased into her forehead and set around her brown eyes. The wrinkles help to accentuate the nearly permanent scowl that sits on her face. As old and spinsterish as she looks, it's not much of a stretch to imagine that she was once a very beautiful lady.

Evelyn is very skinny, but what little muscle there is on her arms is very wiry and tough. Likewise, her bony and long-fingered hands have quite the grip. Eve pays attention to her hands more than any other part of her body, and are well-manicured as well as relatively unwrinkled. She wears button-down flannel shirts that she buttons all the way to the neck. Since she's usually behind a counter, she doesn't bother with shoes and instead wears house slippers. She does have the sense to wear black slacks rather than pajamas, however.

Evelyn eschews jewelry, reasoning that it would just give young idiots a reason to try and rob her.

Biography: Evelyn Rogers has owned and maintained her famous corner store in Brockton for more than 40 years. From her unchanging, unrelenting position on the city streets, she's seen just about every major event to strike the city in that period of time. The fact that her grocery store has stood for that long and remained relatively unchanged is a testament both to Evelyn's status as a pillar of the community and of how positively stubborn she can be.

The store, originally called 'Teleman Ave Grocer' but changed to 'Eve's Corner Store' on its 10th anniversary, is a simple grocer in downtown Brockton. It sells many of the same products most modern convenience stores sell, including candy, cigarettes, soda and beer. Even when the economy got rather tough, Eve was always able to keep her prices static and competitive, forcing any competing stores to be at least a few blocks away from hers to stand so much as a chance of making sales. Many suspect involvement from her brother Marcus Rogers, a man who has been confirmed as a high ranking member of the mob.

Such suspicions seemed to hold true when, just two years ago on April 2nd, 2011, the Riverside Incident occurred and Brockton was thrown into chaos. Where other stores either went out of business or were slowly choked to death by government quarantines, Evelyn's store remains fully stocked and open for business. For those desperate to try and scavenge food or money straight from her livelihood, Evelyn and her impeccable aim with her 12-gauge shotgun have given her quite the reputation as a scrappy old hag.

She's unpleasant in her mannerisms and is just as quick to snap at you as she is to ring up your sale, and she chain-smokes in her own establishment to boot. Those who know Evelyn, though, know the city just wouldn't be the same without her.

Power: Evelyn has no powers. She exclusively drinks bottled water, and thus has prevented herself from getting sick. She does, however, have a shotgun, and she's VERY quick on the draw.

Starting belongings: Evelyn's greatest possession is her corner store, which she sleeps above in a small apartment. She is rarely seen outside of it. She also, quite famously, has a 12-gauge shotgun with plenty of ammo to deter would-be thieves.
