The apocalypse changed everyone's life forever, for Yemi it was her beginning, a gift that she works hard every day to make the most of.

She serves as a recruit for 01ParaBomber. Pup doesn't hold any major power within the group, but does have some level of authority due to pup's long membership. She takes on a scout role when on outings.

When the nuke hit Yemi started out as a nomad, never settling down to call anywhere her base. She wandered the nowhere and salvaged what she could to keep herself going until she could sort out something more stable. For a long while she didn't have anyone to talk to, which she didn't mind because she was never the social type, but it left her with nothing but her thoughts.

Before the apocalypse Yemi was a tormented autistic child, she immigrated from South India with her parents when she was very young. Even in South India she was treated differently because of her undiagnosed ASD, it was something that no one in her life understood about her. Immigrating mixed with undiagnosed autism gave her major trouble fitting in.

Pup's first school was a special education suited classroom, but it didn't care about her. No one understood that the room was too loud and the uniform was too scratchy and that Yemi didn't like being touched or yelled at, pup was tortured by the absolute sensory nightmare, and that was her childhood. She was spoken to like she was a problem, a siren that they had to keep calm, she was treated as if she was dangerous. She was eight.

For months, all she could do was think. She realized a lot of things about her life and the people around her that she hadn't before, and she realized that she didn't feel human... She had never felt like she had been spoken to or treated or even so much as looked at like a human once in her entire life. She felt that she was more of a creature to the people who had to put up with her, some rabid animal that they tolerated out of obligation and law.

Yemi is a dog, a dog forced into a human body because she's destined for things more than what a simple dog body can do for her. She repaints her face white with black spots every time it wears off, she knots dog ears into her hair every month, she ties a tail around her hips, and she runs on all fours. She barks, she snarls, and she likes to be pet.

In Yemi's eyes, she is a guard dog living in the apocalypse with her owner, humanity. There's some differences of course, Yemi will recommend you rock bands and dye your hair, she'll tell you a good spot to find your team's next kill, she'll cook you food when it's her turn to do it, but Yemi is a dog. She's more comfortable describing herself and identifying that way. She doesn't mind being referred to as a human of course, she is comfortable with the body that she was given, she just asks that you respect that her outside doesn't reflect whats within.

Yemi is content to call ParaBomber her home, and she takes immense pride in her role. Yemi considers her work to be some sort of payment for the gift of her new life in the apocalypse, a sort of thank you to the world for letting her survive. The world gave her this new life and in return she keeps it's creations safe. Yemi does not think that she has earned this life, but she hopes to get close someday.

Backer

The leader of 01ParaBomber. Yemi was a week away from being one of the original ParaBomber members, and so she has a very long history with Backer, she got to see ParaBomber grow alongside her. Despite Yemi not having power within the group, Backer utilizes her often, considering her as an effective support. Most of Yemi's tasks are indipendant ones set by Backer, she knows very well how much Yemi loves to be of use. Yemi considers Humanity her owner, and Backer her trainer.

Lin

Yemi's crush, "she's different". Lin is the latest recruit in ParaBomber, and hasn't quite been clued in on everything yet. Yemi likes taking her out on tasks with pup to help assimilate her with the group, she likes being close to her and spending time with her. Yemi is not a people person, pup doesn't easily trust humans despite seeing so much worth in human life, "but she's different". Maybe pup'll tell her someday.

Nate

As grateful as she is for Nate joining, she feels that he does more bad for the team than he does good. "He's too strongheaded, he gets in the way." Yemi is very passionate about her work, Nate isn't, Nate is keen on not letting Backer down but has yet to realize that Backer has formed ParaBomber as a people of respect. Nate is not respectful.

Liam

Liam is interesting. Liam has a wonderful work ethic, but poor manners. He gets work done, and he does it damn good, but he's unruly, just not unruly enough to be annoying or unlikeable to her... Yemi saw Liam when he joined, and watching him go from this horrible little ball of upset to this charismatic uncaring idiot over the years sure has had input on how she thinks of him.

AJ

Yemi is incredibly greatful for AJ. Practitioners and the medically skilled are highly valueable to ParaBomber's cause, and she can quite happily put how terrible he is behind her for the sake of her job. She'll talk to him while she's dying his hair, but besides that, she'll avoid conversation with him if she can manage. He isn't spectactular company.

Bomber

"I've seen what it can do." Yemi has never been so unfortunate as to meet eyes with The Bomber, however she has seen what it has done. She's heard the stories, and she's lived them. Yemi has seen the carnage that thing has caused for humanity first hand, and she is not interested in a solution as simple as keeping it at bay. Stalling is not a solution. Yemi intends to kill The Bomber.
