Evelyn Mercer
Blue Bloc · Current leaders of the Blue Bloc
Physical description
Estimated height: 1.68 m. Slender, with an oval face and pronounced cheekbones. Very short, tightly curled dark hair.
Education and training
Medicine at Emory University, Atlanta. She later received psychotronic training at Saint Daniels and completed a Columbia doctorate on the effects of radiation on human genetics.
Career
She began her career as a Nobel & Midland physician, researching workers exposed to industrial substances and processes. She moved from that work to monitoring EVERYMAN subjects and developing transformation and Vat calibration procedures. Her clinical and experimental experience supported her rise to the directorship of EDO, where she supervises her former company’s work as a contractor.
Character and interests
Her scientific interests focus on distinguishing biological deterioration from useful mutations and understanding what makes human enhancement viable. Her approach combines medical insight with applied research.
Capabilities
She possesses somatic perception: through physical contact, she can sense injuries, organ failures, and changes in tissue. Her training allows her to interpret those sensations as diagnostic information. The power neither heals nor alters the body.
Intelligence value
She knows the real data on Everyman survival, lasting damage, and stability, including results never disclosed outside the program. She helps assess candidates and survivors and their possible admission to ALEC. Her access allows an evaluation of EVERYMAN’s actual capabilities and the limitations its public image may conceal.
