𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 - Marina D'Ivry-Cose (pronounced Mare-ina D-Ive-ree Co-say) (the D is short)

The grand backstory behind her name is... 

I was sitting and doing something, and the name just popped into my head and I was like "Okay then let's use it why not".

𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄(𝐒) - Mare, Rina, Pseudo Mr. D (by the Greek peeps who've read PJO), Little Miss Wine Addict, (the) Lordess of Blood, the Executioner 2.0

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 - She doesn't really have a preferred name, just Marina works fine for her or any of her nicknames.

𝐀𝐆𝐄 + 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑 - 16 yrs., which would make her, a... Uh. *does some calculations* *does some Google searching* ... in 11th grade, so... a junior (?) (You should double-check, just in case...)

𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 - August 31st (A... Virgo... This is what I get for making this up on the spot.)

𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 - female

𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐒 - she/her

𝐒𝐄𝐗𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 - demisexual panromantic

𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌 - 

𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐔𝐏 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌(s) - I got two just in case~

*wilting in the corner* You don't know the pains I went to to find those two pictures above...TvT' It would be great if you could accept the first one, but I suppose I don't mind the two extra backup ones either. ^v^'

𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐎𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐄 - The Contradictory Addict

(I don't know if that actually exists, but... er, I don't really know much about stereotypes because I like to avoid them as much as possible because they kind of tick me off-no offense, stereotypes! I'm sure you're wonderful! Just not necessarily for me!-so yeah.)

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 -

At first glance Marina seems like your normal, average-day high school girl-brash, bold, cheerfully walking down the road as if she owned it. Sure she likes to walk around with a scythe strapped to her back when she can, and sure she does have this nasty habit of whipping out a knife and pointing it at any man who tries to approach her-but come on! That's just a typical teenager going through your typical rebellious phase, right? Yeah n o . She might seem like a normal person... but that's only if you leave her alone. Because the god she's got has one mean contradictory personality, Marina also has major personality and emotional issues. On one hand, she's a great party-thrower, fierce in showing her emotions, and although she doesn't trust easily, once she does, rest assured you have her trust for a lifetime. But her other personality takes over most of the time-Marina is a person who struggles with finding herself. If you see her 'likes' and 'dislikes' you would see this, because they literally contradict with themself. She loves bloodshed and killing, but also hates it, loves toying with others, hates it. Marina has dissociative personality disorder; it's like... er well, those funny pictures where a person has an 'angel' on one shoulder and a 'devil' on the other, constantly whispering to you? Yeah, it's like that for. As such she's become kind of, uh, unhinged and kind of teetering on insane, with major violent tendencies. When she starts fighting she has a hard time holding back and tends to cackle in an unhinged way in delight the more blood is shed. In normal mode she's a brash, bold character with a sharp tongue and a short fuse, who enjoys everyday highschool-girl-comforts like reading and occasionally shopping as well as loudly and shamelessly expressing her opinion. Most people who she befriends for 'fun' (like 'Level 1' friends) don't see her unhinged side until fights start. It's hard for her to open up to others, but Marina can't handle talking to too many people at once, and she's a loner-she likes to just wander around the city randomly. Buuuut her god is also one of great vindiction (that is, a deep desire for revenge) and bloodthirst. So is Marina; she loves to see blood but hates it at the same time, because of her past sins she doesn't like to kill so she compensates by chugging like 10 bottles of wine a week or something. The alcohol also helps her stay sane.

𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 -

Marina actually lived a pretty good life-okay so maybe she was suspicious that she'd never seen her mother, but she was happy with her father who worked for a pretty nice wine factory and ran a quaint bar. Her stepmother wasn't overly mean as well, and she had a cute little brother whom she was happy to play with! ... Then her blood manipulation power manifested when she was 10 and things went downhill from there. She accidentally exploded her father's body by reversing his blood flow while treating a splinter he got. To makes things worse her stepmother came back with her brother from the babysitter at that moment and witnessed her killing her father. Horrified, her stepmother immediately sent her away to an asylum where Marina stayed for like a year before her vindictive side arose and she pretty much broke out of the 'prison'... by slaughtering every person there. (minus the innocent asylum people, whom she promptly told 'live freely and don't even think about doing bad things, 'cause I'm watchin' you!') After that she went on the run and kind of just camped out on her own. She learned how to fight and how to use weapons by watching street fights, watching a dojo she liked because the food was good and easy to steal. Being on the streets also gave her several other skills like how to steal things (namely, food and money if she needed it) and good survival instincts (like how to ration things like food and water) However there was no shortage of people who wronged her while she was homeless-especially since she was a girl. So! Once she refined all her fighting techniques and such, because she's vindictive, she went out and went on a nice shopping trip-oh whoops, I meant, a little killing spree where she basically committed genocide in her revenge-induced and bloodthirsty state. At like what, 13. (Blame her god. Although she left the ones who were innocent unharmed, just very traumatized.) After she came out of her stupor she felt horrible and ashamed and willingly turned herself into prison, where she received therapy for another three years. That therapy helped her manage her self, but it certainly didn't do anything about her wine and alcohol addiction habits. Now, after three years of therapy, Marina's ready for high school! Unfortunately before she can even get three months in this whole 'oh yeah there's a god inside of you nyah suck it' bomb dropped. Wonderful.

. . . *willingly goes to time-out corner* Yes, I am aware of how UNREALISTIC THAT BACKSTORY IS, WHY IS IT SO UNREALISTIC ARGH- 

Yeah so if you want me to write a better, less UNREALISTIC backstory, I'm all up for it!

𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘 -

Biological Family: Petrus Cose (father, aged 33), Adira D'Ivry (stepmother, aged 31), Myrtle D'Ivry-Cose (stepbrother, aged 10). (All of them are deceased.)

Yes, in case you're wondering, I purposely made the dad's name a super-expensive wine. *preen*

Adopted Family/Caretakers: Mary Di Maria (brother/dad/uncle, aged 25), Maddie Di Maria (sister/mom/aunt, aged 23)

They're basically her new family because they're the only therapists that Marina actually can stand. She calls them 'aunt and uncle' because they're a brother-and-sister pair.

𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓 - Sure, why not! I don't mind if it's a girl or a boy.

𝐏𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐒/𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒 -

1. Blood Manipulation. It's pretty much your typical blood manipulation-Marina can manipulate her own blood to do things, as well as harden it. She usually uses it to make weapons and also use it as a shield, but it can also be used for a variety of other purposes. She can create up to 6 clones of herself using her blood (although they're very agile and sneaky, they're much smaller than she is and have limited combat abilities), and also teleport once a day with her blood. (Although it should be noted after one teleportation she'll faint for 12 hours and be weakened after waking up for another 12 hours before gaining strength again) She can manipulate other people's blood for them to do her bidding, but she can only do so from a distance for about 1 minute. She can reverse the blood flow of somebody and essentially blow them up by first cutting open the person then put her fingers into the wound, or just make them faint by squeezing and increasing their blood flow so it clumps up or decrease the oxygen in their blood. Marina also can make the blood harden around people, restricting their movements. She also can control how much blood she takes from herself to make herself lighter but not suffer from anemia just yet in order to perform superhuman fighting moves.

Buuuuuuuut like for all blood manipulators, this means, you guessed it, that Marina's anemic! *cue jazz hands* She has to constantly take pills to countermeasure this, but still-because this ability is the one Marina uses the most, it's resulted in her rather weakish body, asthma, terrible stamina, and easily susceptible to fainting. If she wants to directly manipulate somebody else's blood, like mentioned before, she can only do so from a distance for about 1 minute (if she really tries) because of the strain. (However this time actually varies from person to person; the stronger the person's will to break free is the less time she has) She also has to be touching the other person-it doesn't necessarily have to skin-to-skin contact (although skin-to-skin contact is preferable) but she has to have at least one finger on the other person she wants to manipulate or no go! The firmer she's holding onto her target the better she'll be able to manipulate them.

2. Marina is also capable of 'grabbing onto' various objects, regardless of whether it has a solid form or not. She uses this primarily in the form of 'telekinesis', and uses it a lot to quickly decapitate her enemies. (Her favorite method is 'grabbing' the enemy's heart and squeezing it until it bursts, but that takes much more time and annoyance) She can generate such an ability from the palm of her hand, very matching of its physical form. Using her ability's unique pull factor, Marina can literally "grab" the matter within the area, "pulling" onto it, thus distorting its properties and manipulating its structure. However, she can only use this to travel short distances (like 'teleportation') and not really used for combat means.

(The one above is optional. I just added it for fun; you can decide if you want to keep it or not.)

3. This one is minor, but she is also capable of producing a perfume from her skin that, while it doesn't make people fall asleep or anything, it instead makes them drowsy (sleepy) and more susceptible to her other abilities. It also kind of works as a truth-serum-like or as a neutralizer, weakening other abilities when inhaled. However, because she can't stand strong perfume and this counts, she can only handle using it for maybe 5, 10 minutes before her 'allergies' set in. (that is, repeated coughing, difficulty breathing, sneezing) If she uses this too much, the effects of her own perfume will come back to do the same to herself. The 'perfume' is made by taking away her own oxygen, so using this ability too much will essentially suffocate herself to death.

4. Because Shezmu is the 'executioner' for Osiris, Lord of the Underworld who killed the sinful dead souls and crushed them into wine (oof! RIP) Marina can also do something similar, just a little less fancy. She can open up a portal to the Underworld once a month. Once there, she is able to access another skill of hers, aptly called 'Annihilation'. By summoning a scythe, killing the target, then coming back to the living world and forgetting about that target, she can completely erase their existence out of, uh, existence. It's impossible to bring that target back once she's 'annihilated' them. This goes for anything-anything living, non-living, memories, etc. However, there are certain requirements that must be met: 1. She cannot 'annihilate' meaningless things. 2. If it is a living person, that person must be a criminal and have killed at least three people, or have lived a bad life. And 3. She cannot bring anybody to the Underworld (or her 'subspace' as she calls it to make it less weird) unless it's for Annihilation, including herself, so it's not a safe refuge in times of trouble. Also, because she can't forcibly make herself forget, she has to find somebody who has memory manipulation or mind powers to have them wipe her mind herself. Otherwise 'Annihilation' won't work. (Of course, when she's really desperate she blindfolds herself then does this, but that's more risky because she could accidentally transport the wrong target by accident)

𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐏𝐎𝐍 - 

Now, I know that for Annihilation Marina uses a scythe, but truthfully a scythe isn't her go-to weapon. (In her own words: "Ugh, they're way too big and flashy and heavy for these noodle arms of mine to lift! They're meant for one big dramatic move, not for long fights, in my opinion.") She prefers to use a multitude of hidden objects like daggers or knives, which she typically flings with deadly accuracy. Any type of weapon goes, but as long as it doesn't hinder her own ability to fight or drain stamina (like lugging a big sword around is NOT good for her, who has the worst stamina ever) Marina usually sticks with a bo-staff when she's not in the mood for knives, which she uses to direct her abilities properly (those things HURT when you get smacked, okay!). She only uses the one her therapists had custom-made for her in celebration of the progress she'd made regarding emotional control, which is very difficult to break and not overly heavy, but sturdy enough for it to hurt when you're hit. 

𝐆𝐎𝐃/𝐆𝐎𝐃𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐒 -

Shezmu, the Egyptian demonic god of blood and wine.

(did i get this from the back of The Red Pyramid without knowing anything because I haven't ever heard of him and I went 'oh must not be super major never heard of him let's do him'? No, I totally did not, I- okay yeah I did)

𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐒 - wine (any alcoholic drink really), bloodshed, killing, herself, revenge, reading, writing (occasionally), trying out new things, life, attention, destroying creeps (like perverts and pedos, etc.), killing without reason, her old family and her new one

𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐒 - herself, strong perfume, bloodshed, killing, dolls (they're creepy... *shiver*), life, excessive attention, killing without reason, people toying with others for no reason, the people back at the asylum, creeps (like perverts and pedos, etc.)

𝐇𝐎𝐁𝐁𝐈𝐄𝐒 - collecting/find out about/trying out new alcoholic drinks, fiddling around with them, freaking out people at how much she can drink without fainting, collecting literally anything random and interesting she finds on the street, skipping around after school hours pretty much nowhere because she's an orphan so no home rules for her, no siree!

𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐓𝐇𝐒 - Her abilities and skills are very powerful, and she's an epic assassin. Her survival skills and instincts are also top-notch, and she really needs she can worm her way out of some situation by either killing (although she's training herself to stop using 'kill now!' as her knee-jerk reaction to things) or sweet-talking her way out. Or just knocking the person out. Whichever. She also likes to think that she doesn't live with the chains that a person living with a family has-like she doesn't have a bedtime, doesn't have to y'know have the stress of a family's expectations on her shoulders, etc. (Then again she lives in a little tent on the streets, overseen by her two therapists, )

𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐒 - Marina is anemic, has asthma and breathing problems, and her stamina isn't the... best. (Understatement of the year. Literally, she'll have trouble breathing after just one trip up the stairs). She does not do well in drawn-out battles, and doesn't rely on strength that much-she's more of an assassin-type fighter instead of, say, a wrestler. She's easily prone to fainting and her allergies. Her way of fighting is: Do it quickly and as messily as possible before the enemy gets the upper hand on you! Marina can also be easily spotted because of the intense bloodlust radiating off of her most of the time, making any kind of hiding from people that have sharp senses practically impossible.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 - the dark, falling (both literally and emotionally), heights, seeing things cluster together too much, and slightly afraid of dogs

𝐐𝐔𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒 - 

- "You know what I like about blood and wine? I love how similar they are. Both of them can make you go crazy if you see or have enough."

- "If you seriously thought trusting me was the best way to go, then sorry, but Imma about to ruin your entire (whole) career."

-  *throws up hands* "Yep! That's it! We're all gonna die!" *tosses down weapons* "It was a good life... Now where's my best friend for my departure?"

- "'Out of prison'? Tch! The whole god-beaver's-construction world's a prison if you think about it, just bigger! Where's the difference, we just can't see the bars!"

𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎 - 

- Refers to her wine as her friends. The best kinds of wine that produce the best results are her 'best friends' while the worst or cheap quality are the 'unfaithful friends', etc.

- Despite the fact that her godly parent is also sometimes referred to as the god of perfume, Marina here cannot stand it. She claims it makes her allergic, and can only stand small spurts of it at a time. (And though she can't handle it, she surprisingly has great taste in perfume, haha!)

- She can drink as much as she wants and never get sick or suffer repercussions for doing so. However, she can get drunk.

- Marina has killed a lot of people, but she only visits the grave of her deceased family every month without fail with flowers and just sits down and talks to them about her life.

- In honor of her deceased dad who was a good man who didn't curse or tried to teach Marina 'No cursing honey that's bad', Marina to the day tries not to swear and if she does she 'censors' them- like f*ck is 'fork', d*mn is 'beaver's construction', b*tch is 'girl dog' and etc.

- Wine is her favorite alcoholic drink, but she'll have anything with alcohol, really.

- Marina actually needs reading glasses occasionally when she's feeling tired, but all in all not really.

- Her preferred killing method is, if she's in a good mood, decapitation, or if she's feeling crabby explode them painfully and then cackle evilly as she watches their blood wash over the field. Yeah.

- She only likes fresh blood. If it's aged (like not red anymore) NOPE! GO AWAY!

𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒 - Done!

𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐒 - ... there's not really a need at this point... TvT'
