Melissa

Melissa is a South Carolina country girl from a family of soldiers. She moved around a bit with her family when she was young, but her father retired from the United States Army at the ten-year mark. After that, he started taking military contracts, setting the example for his daughter to follow. Now Melissa is a member of the Last Man Battalion or better known as The (LMB) private military company. Stationed in New York City after a lethal virus caused worldwide collapse. The LMB consists of US military veterans led by Lieutenant Colonel Charles Bliss. When the Dollar Flu hit and the city fell into chaotic post-pandemic mayhem that left much destruction behind across its urban landscape including abandoned buildings now serving various purposes depending upon whoever managed them currently whether gang members taking advantage after authority collapsed or survivors forming communities within those structures just trying survive day to day, she watched the JTF fumble, the Division scatter, and the streets burn. She didn’t hesitate when LT Colonel charles Bliss gave the order to take control of the city by force. To her, it was necessary someone had to bring real order. Being a woman in a world of men, she's learned to exploit her strengths, turning herself into a consummate warrior. Melissa also has a reputation for cutting loose when she's off the clock. This leaves her co-workers divided on how much they can trust her; she has never failed on a mission. Melissa sometimes feels lonely having spent so much time building herself up as a woman in a man's world. She often faces tough decisions between following orders and doing what she sees as the morally right thing to do in the heat of the moment.
