Bio: Maureen's parents had set out for the D.C. Area when she was six. Her mother was a Jet addict, her father was a trader. Maureen's parents felt it best to leave her at an orphanage. She spent the next seven years at the orphanage, where she was relentlessly picked on about her bright red hair. Maureen would get so furious, she would end up getting in a fight practically every week.
When Maureen turned ten, a new girl came to the orphanage, Janet, she was twelve and a kind girl. She helped Maureen in many ways, including how to ignore the taunts of others. Maureen learned to embrace the nickname, Crimmer, loosely based from Crimson, due to her hair. The next three years flew by, and things were better, less fights, she took up reading, she read every book the orphanage had, and was able to help in the lunchroom.
One day while baking some rolls for lunch, a new boy, Justin, started in picking on her. He said some nasty stuff to the now thirteen year old girl. Crimmer bit her tongue, keeping her temper in check. Until, Justin called her a fire crotch, she clutched the rolling pin she had been using, and charged him. Justin wasn't expecting this, he only sought to get a rise out of her, he did, in the form of a rolling pin smashing into his face several times. Crimmer profusely apologized for her actions, but to no avail, she was made to leave the orphanage.
Crimmer became a proficient scavenger, and self taught herself, through various books she would discover in abandoned houses, to repair, heal, and defend herself. She had been hearing rumors of a group in Florida, The Illuminators, they learned through study and experiments. Florida wasn't too far, a couple weeks journey, so Crimmer set out for Florida, seeking out The Illuminators, she had hoped they were real, and not just some made up stories from travelers. Once in Florida, she was coming out from a home she just scavenged, when she was approached by two people, she stood ready if they attacked. They began speaking of The Illuminators, and said they were recruits, before they could finish, she said yes and when are they going back.
Maureen (Crimmer) O'connorThe sun beat down, sweat had beaded up on her forehead, one bead dripped from her brow,
Almost got it....just a little ma..., Crimmer's tongue poked out the side of her mouth, stretching her arm as far as she possibly could. The plasma rifle, lay just a couple inches from her finger tips, her skinny arm just couldn't extend any further, "dammit"
Crimmer sat up, frustrated, she rifled through her sack, surely one of them items she had found one help her. She pulled out an old hammer,
that's the ticket. Discovering the discarded, broken weapon was shear luck. If she hadn't dropped the pre-war book she was looking at, she never would of bent down, seeing the rifle lay on the other side of the privacy fence.
Crimmer knelt back down, the rifle was a good foot closer, she laid flat on the ground, pressing her left cheek in the dirt. Her eyes scanned, back and forth, she saw no sign of anyone.
Why in the world, how did it move, just grab it, Crimmer quickly shot her hand out, clenching the butt of the rifle in her hand, she yanked it back under the fence.
"Its busted, ain't got no parts..." Came a voice, like a shot, she was on her feet, snatching up her sack. The skinny girl ran, full sprint for two blocks, she darted around a corner and slid behind a dumpster. Several minutes had passed, she peeked out, whoever it was, she either lost them, or they didn't bother chasing after her. Crimmer put the broken Plasma rifle on her lap, she fiddled with it for a moment. Her stomach growled,
better get back, they're having my favorite today, she though about the brahmin flavored noodles the cafeteria made.
On the way back to campus, "Sheewwww, sheewww" she pretend to shoot various things. Though pretty smart, as it had been put, a damn good worker, she lacked the maturity level of the average twenty six year old. Some would say, she was more like a teenager still, having a hard time containing her emotions sometimes.
Crimmer walked through the campus entrance, just inside was a tall, slim ghoul. He donned a lab coat and black brimmed glasses.
"Ah, Crimmer, you finally found yourself a plasma rifle" he offer a smile.
"Yep" Crimmer hugged to the rifle, "sure did, I have to see Dr. Graffton, found some micro fusion cells, and two conductors. Sure he can use them" she waived, walking off into the building.
