[b]Name:[/b][/color] Mercedes Palma Fomonar
[color=salmon][b]Rank:[/b][/color] Fes
[color=salmon][b]Background:[/b][/color]
Hailing from Western Europe, Mercedes is a tall and physically fit woman with an incredible poker face. Although she has a usually cheerful disposition, when it matters it is impossible to read her thoughts or emotions on her face. This is a skill she makes frequent use of, both during recreation and work related matters. 
Mercedes is what is known as an Enforcer - on orders from the Clock Tower Headquarters in London, she travels the world to investigate allegations of any magi that may (either accidentally or maliciously) reveal the existence of magecraft to the non-magus populace. At the conclusion of her investigation, if it is decided that the threat of the exposure is too great, at times it is also her job to arrest or otherwise put that magus down if the proper magical authorities can't make it in time. Though the nature of her work focuses only on exposure of magecraft and that alone, Mercedes has been known to take matters into her own hands during investigations if the magus has been dealing in particularly nasty business. This has earned her a reputation as unreliable, preventing her from being tasked with going after high profile magi with sealing designations or other more important figures. Still, she remains one of the Association's best Enforcers in terms of skill. 

When she isn't working, Mercedes enjoys sampling the local food and alcohol of all the places she's sent to. She loves talking with people of different cultures, and in particular - young magi. Mercedes cares little for the stilted hierarchy of the Mage's Association, and hearing about how the next generations of magi are shaping up and bucking the system delights her. More than all of the above though, her true passion is gambling. Games of skill are fun, but games of chance are where the real excitement happens. She is well versed in dozens of types of card and dice games and enjoys playing them regardless of wagers - she will also bet on almost anything, if asked. She has spent so much time gambling that her magecraft has evolved through the years to compensate for her penchant of placing herself in situations of 'uncertainty.'

Mercedes receives her command spells by chance after just finishing an assignment in Japan, much to her delight.

Though not a particularly notable magus family, the Fomonar bloodline does hold a magic crest. The crest is supplied only with mana and the most basic spells, only serving to strengthen it's bearer instead of provide them with access to any lost arts. The crest is inscribed on her sternum just below her breasts.

Mercedes' method of magecraft is runic - though not the most popular choice, it was the type she resonated most with as a developing magus. She knows a variety of runes from elemental ones to healing ones. Because she doesn't specialize in any particular area of runic magecraft, none of her individual runes are very powerful. For example, her healing rune only amounts to basic first aid and stabilization, and wouldn't be able to heal a mortal wound. Her battling style involves backing her opponent into a corner with strategic and concentrated low power attacks before finishing them off with a blow to their weak point. 

Besides this, Mercedes has developed considerable skill in divination, especially in regards to cartomancy. She uses this ability more as a hobby, but takes the result of her divination seriously when it pertains to her missions.

[u][i]Fomonar Brooch[/i][/u]
A simple brooch bearing the symbol of the Fomonar family. It has been charged with a significant amount of mana. In an emergency, it can be crushed to replenish the user's magic circuits and stamina by some amount. It's effects can be gained by anyone who crushes it, it is not limited to Mercedes.

Mercedes' preferred method of divination. Each individual card is charged with mana and they cannot be destroyed by conventional means (they can be destroyed with magecraft or magic). Though their main use is divination - or just to be played in games - their toughness can be utilized in many ways, such as cutting things or deflecting non-magical attacks. Because some of Mercedes' mana is in each card, she always knows the location of them, and they can be also used as makeshift tracking devices.

[color=salmon][b]Misc/Trivia:[/b][/color]
- She despises those magi that participate in human experimentation
- The one thing she won't gamble over is another person's life, though she's gambled her own plenty of times in the past.
- She's secretly always wanted an apprentice, even though she's not a great teacher

[i][b]Runic Body[/b][/i]
When the time for games is over and Mercedes is in a life-threatening situation, she can use a great deal of her magical energy to inscribe runes directly onto her body. These runes immensely enhance her physical abilities. Although she can fight in this state, she prefers to make use of it for quick escapes or rescues, because the mana toll on her body doesn't allow this ability to last for very long.[/center][/hider]
As for her divination ability, not to worry - it's just for fluff! But if people wanted to make use out of it I wouldn't mind.
