Character name : Mercury Character Age: 158 Race: Vampire Personality: Bookish, she's very ditzy, but smart, she enjoys experimenting in her lab with different types of poisons, particularly quick-silver and monk's hood, and has become proficient in developing new methods of delivering it. she is very friendly except when she hasn't eaten recently, and being a fairly young vampire she still finds it needful to feed often. she's very handy in the lab and is the one who you can turn to to get an explanation in layman's terms. she's somewhat mistrusting to people she doesn't know who've not been introduced to her, but once you get to know her she has the loyalty of a catahula cur. Assertive around most people, and as stubborn as a mule, she rather enjoys company in her lab, and being social to an extent. Speaks fluent French. Biggest Biography Ever: She was 28 when she was bitten, her family had been giving shelter and medical attention to soldiers brought back from the front-lines of the great American Civil War. What's known of them before that is that they may have been first or second-generation French settelers. One, particularly badly burned and beaten soldier, had been her personal charge, he was delusional and raving and snapped at her as she cared for him. Biting her, his blood on his teeth infecting her with his sickness. He died shortly afterward, the following morning when the sun rose and he was circulated out to bring in others who needed attention. Why he burned to death was never understood and passed off as a freak accident or perhaps witchcraft. Which it was, was never discovered as that same afternoon the eldest daughter of the house, Mara-Beth, died of an unknown infection. Her family held vigil over her body that night. How surprised they were when at midnight she woke...and promptly slaughtered them all. The soul of Mara-Beth departed, she took the name Mercury for herself after the mind-warping poison that she felt was consuming her...making her feel so violent. The only member of her family to survive that night's blood-bath was the youngest daughter, Katie Who for some reason beyond Mercury's then confused and limited mind, she could not bring herself to kill. where she went and what became of her is unknown. (by Mercury) - Mercury stayed in the blood-drenched house for three days after she had killed her family, moving on as her savage hunger drove her, eating soldiers and slaves alike till she quite by accident made her first half-ling a boy of 16 who had briefly played at being a soldier and had been killed in the cross-fire he survived with his Lady Mercury's aid and guided her through the turmoil of war. She forever referred to him as "Eric" considering his previous name as lost to him as hers had been. He unfortunately died/disappeared in the crossing from America to France where Mercury began her formal study of Humans and other various Biology. She took many trips over Europe and even a few into eastern and central Asia exploring her limits in learning how living things functioned and how poisons effected their minds and bodies. How the limits of a creatures' body affected the limits of their mind and exploring her ability to influence other creatures thinking with the power of her own mind. Among her travels she acquired Her friend and Coven-sister Raide, as well as her "dog" Coux-Joux A werewolf who managed to survive her tortuous experimentation on him, though at the cost of his mind. Where Mercury was tall and shapely Raide was short and boyish, though the smaller German Vampire held more age, strength, and physical violence. The Werewolf was part of a group, captured out of their feral forms and kept sedated and confined while she tested the effects of different poisons on their human and werewolf forms. Ultimately they all began to become despondent and die off till only two remained alive, Jager, And Coux-Joux. Jager broke free during the last experiment, a concoction that made the wolves stronger and more obedient. Jager got the strong but not the obedient....Coux-Joux got both. Mercury used him to wipe-out the rest of the Werewolf population in southern Germany. Mercury Traveled with Raide and Coux-Joux throughout Europe Becoming well-known in the underworld as a deadly intelligent scientist. Her work manipulating the flesh of creatures to bend them to her will, stretched continents as the world plunged into it's second major war. Race and station held little influence with her and her Coven-sister as the whisked countless unfortunate individuals into the shadows and hidden places where Mercury held her experiments and laboratories testing her subjects into their deaths and/or mutations. The end of the war found her well-established in upper Briton, secluded to a basement of a renovated mansion. She does still travel, going where the elder Vampiric counsil sees fit to send her for the use of her skills and...talents. Coux-Joux- Werewolf servant and body-guard completely devoted to Mercury. Is constantly in a beastal form since Mercury removed his humanity. Has bad and worse wolf modes. German Killik-Adopted Son, elfin child possessed of powers of poison rot and decay Demigod of Death and twin to Kato Demigod of life. Obsessed with power and strength. Unknown country of Origin Seth- Hawk-man servant of Mercury, captured out of the mountian tribes, Seth was easily broken and trained by Mercury to be a blood-slave. Is still in many ways not physicaly altred, though she replaced his heart and increased his magic. Lightning wind and plasma elements. Unknown country of Orgin Raide- Coven-sister Raide's sire is also dead. A hundred years older than Mercury, she is the some-time compainion and fellow torturer and interegator. Better at physical Violence than talking and uses a chain and sickle. German Katie- Birth-sister Witch, Mercury is currently unaware of her survival and existance. leaches youth and beauty from minors who engage in drugs and alcohol in exsses useing their "Wasted Youth" to prolong her life and youth. (appears to be early 20s) French American

Mercury blinked in the strange light though had no inclination to shrink from it, it was strange to find her self an ocean and country and century from where she had been not moments before. She did not recall waking as indeed she did not recall even falling asleep, she had not needed sleep for more than a century. Still this place could be no more than a vividly detailed dream or memory. It had long since been dug up and covered with buildings since it's scaring after the war... She turned round to survey the scenery as it was and it did not change in her viewing of it. The wind sighed through the grass and nearby trees with a sound reminiscent of the ocean. She could smell it warm and lush with the thick moisture characteristic to her southern homeland. She knew the place, and felt small within it as though she were once more a child. For she had stood if not here then close to here the night she died, it had not seemed then half as large as it did now. She let her gaze drift slowly about as she felt no impending danger nor inclanation to move. She would have to force her movements and soon, feeling so weak could not be a good thing. Sleep for her was not a natural state, and she questioned her presence in it, lest she be damaged, trapped, or a victim of her own poisons. Timidly she moved her left foot forward, starting towards the edge of the field that would lead her homeward.
