Occupation:
Detective, New Acadia Police Department


Physical Description:

Erin stands at 5’7”, a slender but athletic build of one who has kept up with the physical training regimen required of NAPD personnel but never made it a personal mission or obsession. Her appearance is not that of a cop, often mistaken by many in her streets for a news reporter or some other profession better suited a pretty face than attempting the difficult, if not impossible, task of uphold GenLaw in New Acadia.


The most striking feature of the young woman is that of her left arm, or rather what has replaced her left arm. Just above her elbow, her entire forearm and hand has been replaced by a prosthetic. The design is sleek and obviously one paid for by a government contract, although not a flesh-toned attempt to recreate the look of the original appendage.

Biographical Information:
As a female cadet in the male-dominated hierarchy of the NAPD, Erin Valle had to learn quickly exactly what fueled her to choose this life. Subject to her fair share of discrimination based on the old-school mentality that she should be in a field requiring a skirt rather than a utility belt, Erin pushed herself to compete and overcome, eventually earning her badge. The early assignments were less than glorious, any time there was an administerial act to get her off the street, it seemed like she was shoehorned into the role.

Three years in, Erin and her partner responded to a tenement fire in which the private corporate emergency services chose not to respond on the grounds it would be most cost beneficial to allow the older building to burn and replace it with a new structure. This calculation include the loss of at least two dozen lives. Erin and her partner attempted to rescue a number of residents. They were able to save six, but at the cost her partner’s life and Erin being partially trapped beneath crumbling structure, resulting the in the amputation of her left arm just above the elbow.

It took more than a year for her to completely recover, including being fitted with a state-of-the-art prosthesis. From that point on, the discrimination and cat-calling from other NAPD personnel usually lasted until they saw her arm. She’d paid her dues.

Three years later, Valle transitioned into a Detective role, trading in her uniform for streets and going from tracking down purse-snatchers to the more serious crimes. Although often frustrated with the stonewalling from corporate interests at every turn, Valle’s dedication to her job has led to rise over time within the ranks -- often at the cost of her personal life.

Miller has the typical build of a cop with a lot of years behind the wheel of a patrol car with a utility belt jabbing him in the back followed by years at an uncomfortable desk with a bad back caused by years behind the wheel of a patrol car with a utility belt jabbing him in the back. The close-cropped beard turned more salt and less pepper as time went on. Sharp eyes don't miss much when they aren't closed and somehow still manage to catch quite a bit when they are. Cigarette smoke trails just about everywhere.
