[i]"Yes, it's the heart that matters, but that don't mean you can't slay!"[/i]

[indent][indent]
Hooo, wee she's a tall bitch-- those legs go on for days, weeks, months, but she's slim because she's underfed. Homelessness will do that to a Queen-- a queen who keeps her plain jane curly hair short, so that she can wear those beauty shop wigs easier. And she's always wearing some kind of makeup, even if it's part of that, 'naturally unnatural,' trend the IG models are on nowadays. None may behold the face without the beat for makeup is WARPAINT. Earrings? Simple warrior's charms of LUCK. When it's time for a look, she's all about the pastels and neons-- favoring a style reminiscent of a little girl's sugar high-hallucination, with all the bows, satin, beads, shiny stuff, sequins, glitter, and bright colors included.

Some would call her hair unkept but that's cause bedhead is IN, sis! Plus, just because the rent's a month late, don't mean her nails ain't done, brows ain't done, and skin ain't clear-- there's priorities here, people. She will admit that her facial hair grows in pretty quick so, her mustache will be there by the end of the day, ready to announce to the world she can't afford them hormone pills. Tragic really, but a flat chested Queen sure can afford them fake titties, when the time comes for the glow up.

Pre-glow involves just the saddest t-shirts dumped off at Goodwill, with them dad at the cookout jeans or shorts, complete with dirty sandals that look stolen from a gladiator. Always with the sandals! Maybe it's to show off the pedicure but, we all know it's just cause she spent all her money on good drag, a busted car, and more makeup than anyone could feasibly use in a lifetime. Oh, and tattoos, because of course she had to spend money on tattooing nonsense-- a candycane here, cheshire cat there, an octopus, Ronald McDonald... Nothing follows any kind of theme but she sure has those tattoos scattered about on her arms.

[color=#F3128D][h3][u][b]    PSYCHOLOGY       [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"You either call me Mariah or don't call me at all, honey!"[/i]

[indent][indent][indent]

[color=#F3128D][b]MAIN GOAL  ⫻[/b][/color] Paying that damn rent? Truth be told, she wants to buy a large house, and set up a safe space for LGBTQAI+ children who were in the same situation she was. To do that, she's got to amass a fortune, first.

[color=#F3128D][b]WHAT THEY WANT OUT OF THE COVEN  ⫻[/b][/color] Networking! She considers herself to be a freak among freaks, but in a good way, so she wants to find others like her. Maybe they know a guy who knows a guy, you know? Also if anyone possibly knows who are parents are, that'd be nice, but she doubts she'll ever figure that mystery out.

[color=#F3128D][b]PHILOSOPHY  ⫻[/b][/color] Nobody will ever love or understand you like your-damn-self! The good word of this philosophy needs to be spread, she believes.

[color=#F3128D][b]SECRETS  ⫻[/b][/color] Traveling down to Tampa involved a lot of train hopping, wandering through the woods, and sleeping on the ground. She saw a few too many things she shouldn't have-- a few of those things saw her back.

[color=#F3128D][b]SEXUALITY  ⫻[/b][/color] Very Pansexual but afraid of being heartbroken again.

[color=#F3128D][b]FEARS  ⫻[/b][/color] Heartbreak, never finding love again, and oh, being murdered for being herself. She doesn't want to live in fear so she lives as upfront as possible, but it's always in the back of her mind-- wondering if today will be [i]the day[/i].

[color=#F3128D][b]REPUTATION  ⫻[/b][/color] In the Florida Drag Community, she's known for being very caring-- the type that would give you the shirt off her back, as she has quite literally done this before. She's also known for being quite hot-headed and often goes 'claws out' before thinking-- her ability to own up to her vicious and snappy remarks, and apologize for them, has earned her some grudging respect.

[color=#F3128D][b]FLAWS  ⫻[/b][/color] Trust-issues and Impulsiveness-- a combination that has gotten her in trouble on more than one occasion. When she believes she's right, there's hardly anything that can convince her otherwise, and she will often act on her beliefs without thinking. And yes, while she can apologize for her hot-headed remarks, there's always a deeper part of her that feels justified. Mariah hates being wrong, having acted in error, and doesn't admit it either. And this is all coupled with a deep mistrust of literally everyone, everything, and reality itself sometimes. Trust no one, not even yourself, is the easiest way to surmise this issue. She doesn't even trust herself when she thinks she's right, which is a loop-de-loop of a complex, which causes her to act impulsively in order to avoid indecisiveness. She's... working on this?

[color=#F3128D][h3][u][b]   BACKSTORY      [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"Nobody even wanted me-- so I had to want myself."[/i]

[indent][indent]Well.
What does this world do with an orphan? One with no name, found wandering the streets at the age of two, naked and all alone, with no birth record, DNA match-- absolutely nothing connecting them to anyone? For weeks the local news ran the story of a baby found wandering down highway 64 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. After months of no leads, dead end investigations, and no one coming forward to claim the child, she was sent an Orphanage, of course. That was the first.

She was adopted at the age of four.
Sent back to an Orphanage.
Adopted at the age of eight.
Sent back to an Orphanage.

And her final adoption, at the age of eight, ended in runaway.
Around the age of eleven, Mariah began wearing makeup, her little sister's dresses, and of course her adopted family 'caught' her. They hated how she insisted on being called Mariah. They figured it was just something adopted kids do, right? Identity crisis would just be a phase, right? But they'd had enough. 

They wanted a "normal" child.
They wanted a little [i]boy[/i].

So on the way back to the orphanage, to exchange this broken child for a new one, Mariah herself had enough. Nowadays she joked about how cars back then didn't have child locks, just for situations like this, and that if that car had? Well, she always laughs, she figures she'd be a bit more sane cause her head wouldn't have been banged around so much. Yes, Mariah jumped out of a moving vehicle, in daytime traffic on I-64, in order to avoid being sent to the Orphanage again, botched the landing, promptly jumped off the bridge, and into a new life-- sort of. This... triggered her Kindling-Event. What was most distressing about this event was meeting the "Abuelas" one moment then snapping back into reality [i]just[/i] before hitting the water. They couldn't have let her pass up that cold watery slap in the face, huh?

Thus began her life "on the run". Homeless, young, possessing nothing, really helped her with learning how to survive-- mostly by stealing and begging. She left Virginia for North Carolina almost immediately. She resided in train stations, old buildings, the occasional diner, panhandled for money, dated some rich kid, and break-danced for extra cash. 

At sixteen, train hopping led her to Florida where she decided to stay, especially since the winters weren't so cold. A local drag queen spotted her dancing her ass off on a boardwalk, took her in, and the rest is history-- [i]sort of[/i]. [/indent][/indent]

[color=#F3128D][h3][u][b]   SKILLS & TALENTS      [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"I get my credentials from the [i]streets[/i], baby."[/i]

[indent][indent][indent]
[color=#F3128D][b][Dancing]  ⫻[/b][/color] Vogueing, pop-locking, break dancing, flamenco, rumba, mambo, and a healthy dose of Técnica. Mariah proved at a young age to be adept at dancing, as it came as naturally to her as breathing.

[color=#F3128D][b][Stealing]  ⫻[/b][/color] She didn't want to shop-lift or steal from people on the street, but she had to eat, right? Mariah is especially good at pick-pocketing and lying as a result.

[color=#F3128D][b][Sewing]  ⫻[/b][/color] Her Drag-Mom taught her to make her own clothes and that a hot glue gun is a bit [i]too[/i] cheap.

[color=#F3128D][b][Spanish]  ⫻[/b][/color] Her Drag-Mom was Cuban, insisted that Mariah was probably Cuban or Puero-Rican, "Or some latin shit," and insisted on teaching her Spanish. She has a rather Cuban accent when speaking Spanish, as a result, but a southern-ish accent when speaking English.

[i]"Mis Abuelas showed me how but I had to learn the rest."[/i]

[color=#F3128D][b]TYPE  ⫻[/b][/color] Adept

[color=#F3128D][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] Yellow-Orange Lux -- [url=https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81iqINnYZ1L._AC_SL1500_.jpg]Channeler:[/url] A weighted flamenco fan she's had since her Drag-Mom gifted it to her.

[color=#F3128D][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION  ⫻[/b][/color] 
	[u]"The Hater Blocker"[/u] ⫻ A spell which grants an object the ability to block, absorb, deflect, or outright [i]reflect[/i] whatever abstraction or physical attack is used whenever this ability is active on an object. Since it is very much orange-based, it has to be cast upon an object in order to activate its effects.

	[u]"Low-Key Vibes"[/u] ⫻ When cast upon a person or object, it causes the target to become easily [i]ignored[/i] until they become unnoticeable. While it's not outright invisibility, the less one focuses on the object this is cast on, the more effective the spell becomes.

	[u]"Center Stage"[/u] ⫻ When cast, it essentially draws attention toward whatever person or object it is cast upon. Straight up provocation. It's the ability to call and hold attention as long as the spell is channeled. The longer the object on Center Stage is focused on, the less likely one is to lose focus on it.

[color=#F3128D][b]LIMITS  ⫻[/b][/color] The Hater-Blocker is effective against projectile abstractions and projectile attacks, except it has a harder time working against physical extra-normal attacks. Mainly because emotional-fields clashing weakens its effectiveness. Its effectiveness on a single object degrades as it's used and Mariah will have to reapply it after a while. She can only apply the effect to five objects at a time but applying it drains her of stamina. Of course the effect only works for one direction and the area of effect attacks still are dangerous for Mariah. Whenever Mariah reflects or deflects an attack, its effectiveness is halved. Low-Key Vibes can only be cast upon two objects at most but if they're not in the center of attention the spell works better. If they're being focused on by a few different objects then it may be impossible to cast the spell. Center stage more or less has the same limits, but oppsite.

[color=#F3128D][b]WEAKNESSES  ⫻[/b][/color] Due to the low-yield nature of the abstraction it doesn't have any weaknesses or drawbacks in particular.

[b][24 | Hectory Tory Alcantara | Male][/b]

[b]Description:[/b]
A buff Peruvian man, standing at 5ft 7in, with gel-spiked hair, and aggression issues. He's got a serious case of can't shut the fuck up disease and will always blurt out the first thing on his mind. His accent is so thick and his english is so broken that it's a wonder how his shit-talking is always CRYSTAL CLEAR. He loves the gym and getting ripped more than anything, because he thinks he's a bodybuilder, and wants to compete "soon" (something he says allllll the time). People sometimes think there's a language barrier when communicating with him but, the truth is he's just dumb, also uneducated, and only seeking to lift heavy shit and put it back down. Usually he just backs Mariah up by lifting her, dancing with her, or carrying heavy-ass equipment from their "house". He does the work mostly out of loyalty to their house "mother"-- as this makes Mariah some odd "sister" of his. Family is important.

[b]Extra-Normal Ability:[/B]
[i]Afflicted -- [s]Steroid Use[/s] Demon's Blood[/i]
Someone's been selling this man steroids out of the gym for, "Totally massive sick gains," and of course, cause everyone else was taking them, this dumb ass went for them too. At the moment, he still considers them to be regular steroids with the weird side effect of [s]having his balls grow spikes[/s] outbursts of aggression, fevers, and above average human strength... Apparently he can grow bone spikes too.
