She doesn't believe in being sweet, demure, or even pleasant around most people, making sure that everyone knows where they stand when they approach her, though she does show respect to those who have earned it from her. Most, however, find her to be aloof at best to what they have to say, and downright hostile to those who have earned her ire and spite, just as likely to cut them down as she is to greet them with a look of utter disgust. She isn't one who makes friends, but to those whose presence she tolerates, she is . . . an interesting person to be around, always speaking her mind and never suffering for lying of any sort. If you're bad at something, she'll tell you that to your face, but will follow it up with tips on how to improve and what needs work. She's never mean for the sake of it, there will always be a reason behind her words, no matter how cruel or dismissive they might sound. However, underneath her rough exterior, lies a tortured and stressed soul. Marianne has always been under the impression that she needs to be the very best that she can be and that she could never show even a smidgen of weakness, not even when it may be self-destructive to keep up such a facade. Not only that, but she is often struck with severe night terrors and struggles with an addiction to a certain medicinal herb known as Juno's Mercy that is used by the Librarium doctors to relieve pain, often taking it in her off time to soothe the shakes and paranoia that often plague her when she isn't on the job, though this often leads to her becoming high-strung and irritable if she is kept from her next fix for too long. While some would seek assistance for these kinds of issues, to Marianne, to admit that she needs help now would only be exposing herself as a weak woman who isn't fit for the position she holds and should be sent away to the Abbey of Juno to become a Sister for the rest of her days. This belief has often led to her refusing to see doctors or nurses, no matter how serious her own wounds are, saying that she can tend to herself before storming off. Her pride and stubbornness and the lengths to which these traits can take her, are not to be underestimated.[/sub] [center][i]“Honor and Law. These are the things that keep our society together, and those who do not uphold these values are little better than worms crawling in the dirt.”[/i][/center] [indent]| Name: | [indent][i]Shimizu, Marianne [/i][/indent] | Alias|Nickames|Titles: | [indent][i]'Bloody Mary'[/i][/indent] | G e n d er: | [indent][i]Female[/i][/indent] | R a n k: | [indent][i]A-Rank[/i][/indent] | Age: | [indent][i]25[/i][/indent] | Sector : | [indent][i]Library Hunters[/i][/indent] | History: | [indent][i]Marianne was born to the Shimizu house in one of the capitals of the Librarium, with a loving father and mother, and some years later, a little brother to care for an protect. As a child, one would find the little red haired girl to be quite sociable and kind, quickly adopting the words of honor and chvilary that her father often preached about as the traits befitting k the Clerical Knights of the Librarium. She always knew, in her heart, that she couldn't stand the thought of becoming a Nun of the Sisterhood, of spending her day locked away, unable to do anything that she wanted, slowly losing herself to the faith of Juno. As she grew older and the day when she was to be sent seemed grew nearer, it terrified the young girl. However, the day never came, for her father believed that she would do more for the Librarium and Juno as a Knight then she ever could as a Nun, and that sending her to waste away in some dreary chapel was no life for his daughter, not while he lived and breathed. From that day onward, Marianne took to her studies and training to be a night with a zealous fervor that rivaled that of any priest, eager to prove to her father they hadn't made a mistake. In these early days, the buds that would grow to consume her had been planted, as she drew further away from friends outside of her family in favor of perfecting her form, brushing up on her fighting techniques, familiarizing herself with the names and abilities of famous Rogue Guild members, and most importantly, learning how to maneuver the political landscape of the capital, especially as the first and only girl born to the Shimizu family. As she greww older, she became aware of the corruption of the outer rim of the Librarium's empire, of the hardships that were put upon the people and how the word of Juno was being twisted to suit the needs of those in power. But she didn't let the thoughts of these atrocities fester and bother her like they did her brother. Instead, she resolved that she, once she gained enough political clout amongst the Librarium, would change the system so that such corruption would be dealt with swiftly and with as little disruption to the common people as possible, unlike the uncontrollable Pirate guilds that think that attacking Librarium frigates or bases meant anything other than hardship for the people they espoused to be helping. However, one day, everything changed. She woke up one day to find that her entire world had been turned upside down. Her father had been executed, his very existence somehow erased from the minds and records of everyone in the Librarium, Her mother passed away with not even a rumor of how it came to pass, her own body covered in strange, horrid looking scars, and her mind filled with hazy, nightmarish visions that plagued her every waking moment, a head of unnaturally white hair filled to the brim with the scripture of Juno despite the fact that she had never been the most devout of believers, and only one thing that could tie it all together: it was her brother's fault. Her father's death, his erasure from mind and record, everything that was wrong with her, it was all the fault of her brother. He had ran away from hi life and left everything on her, left her to be blamed and ridiculed, left her to bear even more weight upon her shoulders, and probably without even a hint of regret. In that moment, Marianne had never felt more hurt, more alone, and more enraged, and as these emotions filled her, so to did a solemn oath that she swore on her Father's blade. She would find her cowardly brother, wherever he hid, and make him pay for it with his life. He would bare witness to all the pain and suffering his actions had brought upon his family, and no matter how much he begged, how much he pleaded, she swore that he'd find no mercy from her. He was a pathetic wretch of a man, and when she found him, he'd be given a death worthy of his vile, stinking ilk. Him and all the other Rogue guilds who thought they were doing good, unaware or uncaring of the true harm their actions caused the people in the long term.[/i][/indent] | Magic: | [indent][i] Mystic Smith Magic: This magic allows the user to recreate any weapon they may have come across and ability it may have, as long as they're able to memorize its structure via saturating the weapon in their magical energy. These creations, formed entirely from the users magical energy, can be dismissed at a whim, and the magical energy expended to create said energy is returned to them unless somehow stopped from doing so. It can also be used to alter said weapon, though usually, such alterations will weaken the blade in some way. For Example, by making a sword that is able to catch on fire to launch said fire, it may lose out a bit in durability, it's own cutting power or the power of the flames being launched. Also, any weapons that are made in this fashion are able to be telekinetically moved and wielded by the user, as well as summoned at a moment's noticed while manifested if the user has been disarmed in some way. Let it be noted that the weapons are ranked in power from E-S, and that the stronger the weapon, the longer it takes to memorize its structure, and the more costly it is to make, limiting how many of such a weapon can be made, as well as how fast such a weapon can be formed. Also, once a weapon is made, it's as real as the weapon it's based on, and thus can't be dispelled or canceled out once it's been fully manifested unless by her own hand. Most of the weapons that Marianne wields are recreated from remnants and ruins of magical artifacts that she has found in her forays to the lands below the floating islands of Pandora, renewing them back to their former glory with her magic. *note: This magic idea isn't mine, but one gotten from a Fanfiction I read a while back **Another note: Alongside these weapons, Marianne can also summon a regular, if finely crafted sword(the one she holds in the picture), a Bow and a quiver of arrows, a regular spear, daggers, a halberd, and a greatsword. These weapons require very little magical energy to summon, but hold no other special qualities. As such, they can be brought into existence quickly with only a small cost, though she tends not to use them when she's either in her demon form or wielding one of her A-ranked weapons as they're most useful when summoned in bulk and that'd dig too much into her reserves when paired with the stronger blades. [hider=List of Blades] [url=http://i.imgur.com/rCkK7.jpg]Carnwennan[/url](C): The Knife in the Dark, this dagger allows their wielder to cloak themselves in shadows, hiding their presence from any who would wish to them harm. This concealment, is only effective in dark and dimly lit areas where there is ample room for shadows and darkness to thrive, but in areas with great amounts of light, they can be found much more easily. [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/92/87/cc/9287cc076994b1b68149e44212790702.jpg]Dyrnwyn[/url](A): The Blade of Righteous Flame, this is the heirloom sword of the Shimizu family, a blade which only spares those with a righteous heart the cruel agony of it's golden flames. Rumored to have been blessed by Juno herself, the flames this blade emits are golden in color and do not behave like normal flames as they require no fuel to burn, nor do they harm that which the wielder doesn't intend to harm. These golden flames hold within them a holy light that burns the life energy of both demons and those who wield the powers of demons(such as devil Slayers and Satan Soul users). As such, this blade can't be used by Marianne while she's currently using any of her Satan Soul abilities, as the flames will actively seek to destroy the demonic taint that courses through her body, likely killing her n the process. The flames that this blade gives off are intense even without the extra sting given to those with the ilk of demon-kind surging through their veins and can be controlled mentally somewhat to move in strange ways, though they can't take on a physical form without altering the blade to do so. This means that, if locking blades with an opponent, Marianne can have the flames whip out to strike her opponent's hand or perhaps their face/eyes if she's feeling viscous. [url=http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j393/SirKillALot9/Rolf%20Krake/Sword_by_Ugrik.jpg]Skofnung[/url](A): The Sword of the Madness, this blade bequeaths upon its wielder a great increase in their physical abilities and fighting prowess, however, they lose the ability to reason and fly into a berserker rage. While the blade keeps their fighting skills from degrading, it doesn't stop them from attacking anything in their way, be it friend or foe, thus it's best used when Marianne is alone. It's with this blade, along with her Satan Soul magic, that has led to the death's of many a Rogue Guild and given rise to her title of 'Bloody Mary'. [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/b/b5/GaeBuidhe.png/revision/latest?cb=20100803144623]Gáe Buide[/url] and [url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/betterbleachfanfiction/images/a/a0/Crimson_Rose_of_Exorcism.png/revision/latest?cb=20150815193824]Gáe derg[/url](B): The Twin Roses of Mortality and Exorcism, these two spears make for a deadly combination when wielded skillfully. The Yellow spear, Gáe Buidhe, is a very dangerous weapon as not only does it inflict wounds the tend to bleed more profusely than normal, but they are incredibly hard to heal as well, as while the blood flow will eventually slow down, the wound will remain slow to close and heal as well as being highly resistant to the effects of healing magics. This magic effect can be bypassed, however, by nullifying the magic that is centered around the area. The Red spear, Gáe Derg, possess a spearhead with the ability to nullify any magic it comes into contact with, though for continuous effects, the magic can resume as normal once the spearhead is no long touching the affected area. [/hider] *note: Given power requirements, She can only have one weapon of A rank of above out at any one time given her current level of skill and magical power, and two of B Rank. C-Rank, however, can go from 3 to 6 depending on the size and ability of the weapon. [url=http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Satan_Soul]Satan Soul[/url] Satan Soul: [url=http://www.theanimegallery.com/data/thumbs/790px/0158/tAG_158529.jpg]Voserum[/url], Marianne's only Take-Over, which she has mastered to the point where she can go full-body(for a time), this demon was known for terrorizing villages in the dead of night, stealing away young men and women to their hidden lair. It holds the Curse known as Devouring Void, which summons forth a thick darkness that glows faintly with a crimson inner light. This black substance can be controlled and shaped to Marianne's whims while using her Satan Soul, and will seek to devour anything it come into contact with, first draining the magical energy then drawing in the physical body of anything that comes into contact with it. Anything consumed by the darkness is converted into magical energy that is sent back to Marianne, first healing her wounds, then filling back her magical reserves. This creeping darkness is rather robust and difficult to destroy, meaning that removal is often the best way to deal with it. Given it's nature as a Curse and not Magic, that makes it immune to any sort of nullification magics as well, though her Satan Soul itself has no such protections and the darkness will disperse once she exits the form. This form also gives a few other effects, such as: enhanced durability, enhanced magical protections, and strong resistance to dark and 'unholy' magic. However, one issue with this form is that she can't hold it indefinitely, going about 5 posts before the side effects start to kick in. If she goes beyond this threshold, then her Satan Soul will begin to cannibalize her body, causing no small amount of pain and agony as she struggles to hold herself together, not to mention that the demon within will start to leak out, eating away at her mind and soul the longer and longer she holds onto it. If she stays like this for too long, then eventually both her mind and body will be consumed by the demon within, which will take her place and continue to do as it did before. Also, while in this form, Marianne will count as a demon in regard to how her body reacts to Devil Slayer Magics, so she has to be careful of them while in this form.[/i][/indent] | Miscs : | [indent][i]Anything else you wanna add like theme songs, guild marks?[/i][/indent] [/indent] Sheet credited to Buddha.[/hider]
