She had a hard youth and fell into crime. It wasn’t long before she joined a gang, then started work as a professional killer. One of her hits was against a notorious madam whose reach exceeded her grasp. An unexpected ally in this assassination was one of her dolls, Serra Sharpe. As thanks for her help, Ed aided Serra’s escape from being “inherited” by the next bozo with a cane. The two became fast friends, which bloomed into something more. After several years of marriage, Serra brought up a topic that she often avoided: her family. She wished to know her father’s whereabouts. And asked Ed to use her skills to help track him down. After pursuing this quarry, Ed and Serra fell into the ire of a powerful corporation. Ultimately costing Serra her life. Ed abandoned her mercenary career and dedicated herself towards private investigation. She pursues the truth of Serra’s past to fulfill the promise they made.
Ed just uncovered a new lead on Serra’s father—he was in prison on trafficking charges—when Ed suddenly found herself in a very different world.

Personal history
Ed lives in the city of New Caledonia, a nexus of shipping routes and home to the HQs of several Logistics Corpos. The city is a pristine metropolis built into the caldera of a volcano. Under this fascist utopia is the under city, what remains of Caledonia. The rest of Luxul 5 is barely above a barren waste, having been siphoned of most of her natural resources by the Corpos. Luxul 5 is the moon of Luxul with the most stable orbit, and positioned so that is can easily transport between the 8 moons of Luxul. Luxul itself is a gas giant, one of 10 planets in the solar system, located 4th from the sun. Luxul is named after the ancient dharnian word for “blue.” New Caledonia is 1 of 12 surviving cities on Luxul 5. The rest succumbing to ruin by weather or monster, or hubris.
Luxul 5 was built by Orcish colonial laborers. These scorpion-like people paved the way for corporate exploitation of the moon’s resources. They quickly were supplanted and forced into a lower caste.
3 of the remaining city states are ruled by a corporate conglomerate headed by metallic dragons—Silver, Bronze, and Brass. Gold and Copper fell years ago to a surprise assault by chromatic mercenary forces, and the remaining dragons in the conglomerate vie to fill the power vacuum. This legendary phenomenon called a “blizzard” destroyed the Cooper City.
Native to Luxul 5 are Ents. A species of plants that have the ability to move like a beast. They wandered the rainforests that covered much of the moon. Now they are rare, even considered extinct. Luxul 5 is a valuable moon because the atmosphere provides ample rain, but no so much as the moons that are covered in mostly ocean, or the ones that a stricken with drought.
FLT exists, but reserved for the most wealthy of corporations.
Devils and Demons are native to Luxul 3, but celestial beings are from another realm entirely. Celestials are distrusted, many finding them eldritch and unsettling. Warlocks are typical and well respected, meanwhile clerics and other divinely gifted people are outcast, despised, and even killed.
Most people are not magically gifted from birth, but with the right cybernetics, anyone could study the arcane arts. Minor spells and cantrips are commonplace, as normal as a roomba.
The typical food on Luxul 5 is highly processed and flavored nutritional paste, soups, or—rarely—stews. Solid food is expensive, most residents of Luxul 5 go days, if not weeks, without solid food, and the food they have access to is lab grown, sterile, and tough.
Education
Most of Ed's education is self taught. Any mercenary who wants to make it needs to know how to not get screwed. Reading, writing, and math all play important roles.
